Will Dissly Won't Be Back Until Training Camp

Dissly played in four games (eight catches, 156 yards, two touchdowns) before tearing the patellar tendon in […]

Raiders Will Give Darren Waller An Opportunity

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that the team will give tight end Darren Waller "a chance of a lifetime" in 2019 now that Jared Cook moved on in free agency. Lee Smith is currently listed atop Oakland's tight end depth chart, so Waller will be given a chance. However, the Raiders are also […]

Eagles Not Ruling Out Return Of Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson isn't ruling out the return of running back Darren Sproles, who has yet to make a decision on whether he will retire. Sproles is ready to retire, but he's played in nine games the last two seasons and wants to go out on a good note. He ran the […]

Marqise Lee Expected Back In Preseason

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that he expects wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) back "late in the preseason." The 27-year-old tore his ACL last preseason and didn't play at all in 2018. When healthy, though, he figures to be the team's top wideout. He has just eight touchdowns in his four NFL seasons […]

Bears Exploring Trade Offers For Jordan Howard?

The Chicago Bears could explore trade offers for running back Jordan Howard this offseason, according to head coach Matt Nagy. Despite scoring nine touchdowns in back-to-back seasons, Howard saw a career-low 250 rushing attempts for 935 yards in his third season in Chicago and first under Nagy. The 2016 fifth-round pick isn't as good of […]

Doug Baldwin To Undergo Hernia Surgery

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Doug Baldwin will undergo sports hernia surgery on April 4.

The 30-year-old receiver dealt with multiple injuries in a disappointing 2018 season and is no lock to be ready for […]

Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said that outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (knee) will undergo an MRI exam Tuesday morning. There has been no firm decision yet on how to replace him on the roster after he suffered a scary knee injury in a spring game on Monday night. Fantasy owners should expect the worst […]

Ravens To Keep Jimmy Smith

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta all but affirmed that veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith will remain with the team in 2019. "One of the greatest strengths of our team right now is our secondary. I think it would be foolish for us to make a strength a weakness for no reason," DeCosta said. Smith is […]

Willie Snead Currently Baltimore's Top Receiver

The Baltimore Ravens didn't address their wide receiver position in free agency, meaning Willie Snead and Chris Moore, who combined for two touchdowns last year, are currently at the top of the receiver depth chart. Jordan Lasley (inactive all year), Jaleel Scott (coming off Injured Reserve) and Quincy Adeboyejo (coming off IR) round out the […]

Jets Willing To Trade Down In First Round

New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan is still letting teams know that the No. 3 overall pick in the draft is for sale. The Jets traded up to the third pick last year from No. 6 to take Sam Darnold. Several teams could be interested in moving up to No. 3 this year in […]

Giants Looking For Eli Manning's Successor Soon

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said the team would like to find quarterback Eli Manning's successor "sooner than later" and would prefer to have the QB spend a year learning behind Manning. With 2019 likely to be Manning's last with the Giants and possibly in his career, that means the Giants will need […]

Jake Butt Getting Closer To Returning

Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt, who has torn his ACL three times since 2014, said he is getting closer in his recovery from his latest knee injury. “I can’t go (practice), but I’m getting closer,” Butt said. “I’m about five months out right now. But rehab is going really well. I’m feeling great and […]

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said he expects running back Derrius Guice (knee) to do individual work in organized team activities and then join the team full-go at training camp in the summer.

Bruce Arians Thinks Chris Godwin Can Catch 100 Passes

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said he thinks wide receiver Chris Godwin can be "close to a 100-catch guy" in 2019. Godwin is expected to fill slot duties this year, a spot that Larry Fitzgerald thrived at under Arians in Arizona. With Adam Humphries and DeSean Jackson no longer in town as well, […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Hopes To Make Opening Day Roster

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., the team's top prospect and No. 2 overall in baseball, is hoping to make the Opening Day roster after opening eyes in spring training. The Padres intend to push their roster decision on Tatis back until the last possible moment, and it still seems likely that he'll begin […]

Angels Trade For Chris Stratton

The Los Angeles Angels acquired pitcher Chris Stratton from the San Francisco Giants on Monday night in exchange for left-hander Williams Jerez. Stratton will prove much-needed rotation depth for the Angels, who won't have Andrew Heaney (elbow) to begin the year. The 28-year-old right-hander went 10-10 with a 5.09 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 112 strikeouts […]

Justin Upton's Outlook For Opening Day Is Grim

It's looking more likely that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (toe) won't be ready for Opening Day on Thursday after he had an MRI exam on his big left toe on Monday. "We're waiting for multiple opinions," manager Brad Ausmus said. "We should know more tomorrow. He's not moving real good right now." It's […]

Matt Wisler Placed On Waivers

The Cincinnati Reds placed starting pitcher Matt Wisler on waivers on Tuesday, as he was out of minor league options. Robert Stephenson and Wandy Peralta have secured Opening Day roster spots in the bullpen. Wisler was once a decent prospect with Atlanta, but he's posted a 5.14 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and weak 6.4 K/9 in […]

Nats, Anthony Rendon Not Close To Extension

The Washington Nationals and third baseman Anthony Rendon are not close on contract-extension talks with Opening Day quickly approaching. The talks could continue into the season, but nothing will be finalized before Thursday, March 28. Rendon, 28, hit .308/.374/.535 with 24 home runs and 92 RBI in 136 games in 2018 and has at least […]

Damon Harrison Wants New Deal

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Damon Harrison switched agents in the offseason and has already approached the team about signing a new deal, according to a source.

Jets Re-Sign Neal Sterling Monday

The New York Jets re-signed tight end Neal Sterling and outside linebacker Brandon Copeland to undisclosed deals on Monday. Sterling has been with the Jets the last two seasons but has primarily been a backup on offense while also playing special teams. He had six catches for 47 yards in five games last year but […]

D'Onta Foreman Motivated In 2019

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman looks to be much leaner than he was in his first two NFL seasons and looked quick and explosive during an impromptu workout on Sunday. Foreman rushed the ball seven times for negative-one yard in his only game in 2018 that was mainly spent rehabbing an Achilles rupture. He […]

Ervin Santana To Stay In Arizona Longer

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ervin Santana will stay in Arizona and make a couple more starts before joining the White Sox's rotation for the regular season. Santana made just his second spring start on Monday and won't be an option for fantasy owners until mid-April most likely. The 36-year-old right-hander made only five starts […]

Steve Pearce To Start Year On Injured List

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce (calf) will start the season on the injured list. Sam Travis will start the season in Pearce's place and could platoon at first with Mitch Moreland against left-handers. Pearce shouldn't be on the shelf for too long to begin the season. He'll turn 36 on April 13 after […]

Chris Paddack To Start Sunday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack will likely make his major league debut on Sunday against the Giants after a very impressive spring training. Paddack, the team's No. 5 prospect and No. 34 overall per MLB Pipeline, has big upside but threw only 90 innings in two minor league stops in his first year […]

Buccaneers Expected To Sign Blaine Gabbert

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to sign free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert as Jameis Winston's backup. Gabbert played under head coach Bruce Arians and quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich in Arizona in 2017. The 29-year-old played in eight games for the Titans last year and had 624 yards passing, four touchdowns and four interceptions. He's a […]

Bucs Think Chris Godwin Can Handle The Slot

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht believes wide receiver Chris Godwin can play inside in the slot much like Larry Fitzgerald did for head coach Bruce Arians in their time together in Arizona. "I'm not saying he's Larry Fitzgerald by any means yet, but play the role like Larry did in Arizona. That made […]

Jay Ajayi Expected To Be Ready For Season

Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for free-agent running back Jay Ajayi (knee), expects his client to be ready for the start of the season. Ajayi's visit with the Indianapolis Colts last week went well, but he's also still in discussions to return to the Philadelphia Eagles. Ajayi might not even be ready for all of training […]

Jerick McKinnon In Team's Plans

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that running back Jerick McKinnon fits into the team's plans for the 2019 season. McKinnon missed all of his first year in San Francisco after getting injured in the preseason. Now he'll have to fight for touches with Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida, which will make it […]

Marcus Mariota Remains Starter In Tennessee

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed at the NFL owners meetings that quarterback Marcus Mariota remains the starter, even after the club acquired Ryan Tannehill from the Dolphins.
