Maxx Williams Inactive Against Panthers

Baltimore Ravens tight end Maxx Williams is a healthy inactive for Week 8 against the Panthers. Quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are also healthy scratches. With rookie Hayden Hurst likely to see a bigger role in the passing game moving forward, the Ravens just don't have room for four tight ends […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Not Playing Against Jets

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both inactive for Week 8 against the Jets. These are big losses on both sides of the ball for the Bears, as Robinson is the team's No. 1 wideout and Mack is the best pass rusher on the squad. Robinson's absence […]

Robby Anderson, Trumaine Johnson Out

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Anderson's absence, along with Quincy Enunwa (ankle) being out, is good news for Jermaine Kearse, although he put up a dud last week with Enunwa out. Andre Roberts and recently-signed Rishard […]

Ezekiel Ansah Inactive Against Seahawks

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) is inactive for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Wide receiver T.J. Jones is also a healthy scratch. Ansah, the team's best pass rusher, hasn't played since suffering his injury in the season opener. He's mostly been a disappointment in his career because of his inability to stay on […]

Ed Dickson Active For Week 8

The Seattle Seahawks activated tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) from the Non-Football Injury list on Saturday, and he's active for the first time this year for Week 8 against the Lions. He should immediately step into the team's pass-catching role at tight end and could see significant snaps right away. Dickson is in play as […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Active

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both active for Week 8 against the Giants. Thompson will return to his pass-catching role in the backfield and will be in play as an RB3/flex in PPR leagues. His return will hurt the overall ceiling for Adrian Peterson […]

James Washington A Healthy Scratch For Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver James Washington is a healthy inactive for Week 8 against the Browns. Quarterback Mason Rudolph is also a healthy scratch. Washington has caught only five of his 14 targets this year for 49 yards and a touchdown, so he's not fantasy relevant in redraft leagues. However, he's a worthy dynasty/keeper […]

Under-The-Radar Fantasy Football Stashes

Week 7 was the first week this NFL season that featured four teams on bye (Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Seahawks). Week 8 follows suit with the Falcons, Cowboys, Titans, and Chargers taking the week off. Week 9 gets even dicier with six teams out (Bengals, Colts, Giants, Eagles, Cardinals, and Jaguars). Week 10 will see another […]

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Listed As Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Monday night against the Bills.

Sony Michel Doubtful Against Bills

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) got in a limited practice on Saturday but is doubtful to face the Bills on Monday night in Week 8. Michel's injury isn't considered serious and he could even be back in Week 9, but he won't play this Monday. Make sure you've made plans to […]

Clayton Kershaw To Start Game 5 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will start Game 5 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Sunday. Kershaw was expected to start Game 5 all along. The left-hander allowed five earned runs on seven hits in just four innings to take the loss in Game 1 and has not had great […]

Dominic Smith Leaves Winter Ball Early

New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith was released by the Toros del Este of the Dominican Republic winter league after just seven games due to a misunderstanding regarding his defensive role, according to his Roc Nation agency. "With the lack of play in the outfield, both parties felt it was best for Dom to […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Gets Game 4 Nod

Boston Red Sox left-handed starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will start in Game 4 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Saturday. Nathan Eovaldi, who was originally schedule to start in Game 4, pitched six innings of relief in the 18-inning Game 3 loss in Los Angeles on Friday. E-Rod was solid this year, going […]

De'Angelo Henderson Added To Active Roster

The New York Jets signed running back De'Angelo Henderson from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday with Bilal Powell (neck) out for the rest of the season. Cornerback Juston Burris was released in a corresponding move. Henderson was a sixth-round pick of the Broncos last year and had just seven carries for […]

Zach Pascal Questionable To Face Raiders

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal (head) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 8 against the Raiders. Pascal was added to the injury report on Friday, but it seems he has a good chance to suit up. Even if Pascal does play, he'll be at best third on the receiver […]

Jeremy Maclin Won't Play In 2018

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is undergoing surgery on his hamstring/gluteus that has kept him from working out for interested teams and he won't play at all this season. He expects to be ready for 2019. Maclin played in 12 games for the Ravens last year, catching 40 passes (72 targets) for 440 […]

Anthony Barr, Andrew Sendejo Ruled Out Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) and strong safety Andrew Sendejo (groin) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Saints. Defensive tackle Linval Joseph (ankle, knee) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) are both questionable, leaving the Minnesota defense very banged up heading into a matchup against one of the more potent offenses […]

Chris Ivory On Track To Play Monday

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) is on track to play on Monday night against the Patriots despite injuring his hamstring in practice on Wednesday. Ivory was a waiver pickup this week with LeSean McCoy suffering a concussion in Week 7. McCoy seems to be on track to be cleared, but that might not […]

LeSean McCoy Remains In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, and head coach Sean McDermott says the team will continue to "take it one day at a time" with him. McCoy has been limited in practice this week, so it looks likely that he'll be cleared by Monday, but he's also likely […]

Sony Michel Returns To Practice Saturday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) returned to practice on Saturday after missing the last two days. Michel suffered a strained MCL in Week 7. It's not a long-term injury, but he's not expected to play on Monday night against the Bills, even if the team lists him as questionable to play. […]

Hanley Ramirez Plans To Plan Next Season

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Hanley Ramirez is working out in the Dominican Republic and plans to play winter ball before attempting a comeback in 2019. Han-Ram played in just 44 games for the Red Sox before being released in May, hitting .254/.313/.395 with six home runs and 29 RBI. If healthy, Ramirez could get a […]

Yasmani Grandal Sees A Start In Game 3 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal is in the starting lineup and batting seventh over Austin Barnes in Game 3 of the World Series against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello on Friday. Grandal has been a liability on offense and defense in the postseason. He's batting just .120 (3-for-25) with a homer, RBI, four walks […]

Nathan Eovaldi To Start In Game 4

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has been announced as the team's Game 4 starter for the World Series in Los Angeles on Saturday. He was unavailable to start in Game 3 on Friday after pitching two innings of relief in the first two games in Boston. Eovaldi has been lights-out for the Red […]

J.D. Martinez In Lineup In Game 3, Andrew Benintendi Out

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (ankle), who aggravated his ankle in Game 2 of the World Series, is starting in left field and batting third against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday. As a result, Andrew Benintendi will start on the bench. Infielder Brock Holt is also […]

Theo Riddick Ruled Out For Week 8

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Riddick also missed the game before the team's Week 7 bye, so he doesn't look close to returning and is likely floating on most league's waiver wire by now. Rookie Kerryon Johnson should […]

Jermaine Gresham, Phil Dawson Listed As Questionable

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. Gresham was a new addition to the practice report on Friday but should play as Ricky Seals-Jones' backup. Gresham should be avoided in all leagues. Dawson injured […]

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman Questionable For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Breida continues to fight injuries and played just five offensive snaps last week, so the Niners could elect to rest him even if he's active. Expect […]

Pierre Garcon Doubtful To Face Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The veteran still hasn't scored a touchdown all year and has a low ceiling for fantasy owners. He's a candidate to be left to the waiver wire. In his absence, Marquise […]

Everson Griffen Expected To Return In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who has been away from the team to tend to his mental-health issues in recent weeks, is expected to return and play against the Saints in Week 8. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes (ankle) is questionable to play. Griffen could be on a snap count, but his presence is a huge […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Saints. Cook has played in only three games this year due to recurring hamstring issues, and he's been a big-time early-round fantasy bust so far. Expect him to be out through the team's Week 10 bye as they […]
