Matt Shoemaker Agrees With Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a one-year deal in the range of $3 million to $3.5 million with free-agent starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker on Friday, according to MLB Network insider Jon Paul Morosi. Due to injuries, the right-hander made only 21 starts the last two injuries. He went 9-13 with 143 strikeouts over 160 […]

Damien Williams Receives Two-Year Extension

The Kansas City Chiefs and running back Damien Williams agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a maximum value of $8.1 million on Thursday, according to his agent. With Kareem Hunt out of the picture and Spencer Ware out injured the last two weeks, Williams has gone over 100 total yards from scrimmage and has […]

Doug Baldwin Returns To Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after resting on Wednesday. Baldwin should play in Week 17 against the Cardinals, but he's in danger of being rested at some point, which makes him an even riskier touchdown-dependent WR3. Baldwin hasn't been seeing very many targets on a per-game […]

Marquise Goodwin Misses Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (calf) missed his second straight practice on Thursday and is in danger of missing the Week 17 season finale against the Rams. The team also promoted Steven Dunbar Jr. from the practice squad on Wednesday, which isn't a good sign for Goodwin's status. Tight end Garrett Celek also […]

Benjamin Watson Plans To Retire After Season

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson said he plans to retire after this season. The 38-year-old is in his 15th season and is hoping to ride off into the sunset if the Saints can make a Super Bowl run this year. He has 33 catches (43 targets) for 371 yards and two touchdowns on […]

John Brown Gets In Limited Practice

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It puts Brown on track for an important Week 17 game against the Browns. The 28-year-old has only five catches for 58 yards and one score in the last four games and has become an […]

Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Miss Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, rib) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Jones rarely practices late in the season, but he should be out there in Week 17 against the Buccaneers as he tries to win the receiving title for the second time […]

Corey Davis Added To Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) was added to the Week 17 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. This injury is unlikely to keep Davis from playing in the pivotal Week 17 game against the Colts, but he's become a very weak WR3 option for fantasy owners, especially with quarterback Marcus […]

Allen Robinson Still Out Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (ribs) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Robinson's injury isn't believed to be serious, they may elect to rest him in Week 17 against the Vikings so that he's fully healthy for the playoffs. A-Rob hasn't been of much help to his fantasy owners of […]

Lamar Miller Practicing In Full

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Miller is on track to return from a one-game absence in an important Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars. He's a volume-based RB2 who ran 22 times for 100 yards and a touchdown against Jacksonville on […]

Eric Ebron Returns On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (concussion, knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (shoulder) also returned after missing Wednesday's session. Ebron wore a red non-contact jersey on Thursday, but this bodes well for his status in a must-win Week 17 game against the Titans. Ebron leads […]

Antonio Brown Misses Practice Again

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. He sat out as a coach's decision on Wednesday, but he left before practice on Thursday to rest a sore knee. Two of Brown's teammates said they expect he'll be fine for the must-win game against the Bengals on […]

Todd Gurley Not Practicing Thursday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (knee) won't practice for the second straight day on Thursday. However, Gurley could miss practice all week and still play in Week 17 against the 49ers. Gurley suffered similar symptoms after the season opener against the Raiders in Week 1. It's looking […]

Marcus Mariota Practicing Thursday

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger) was throwing deep balls in practice on Thursday. It's a great sign that Mariota will be able to play in a must-win game in Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday night. Mariota's whole right side went numb after a hit last Saturday, but it looks like he'll gut […]

Quincy Enunwa, Jermaine Kearse Sitting Out Thursday

New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Jermaine Kearse (Achilles) are both absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It means both receivers are highly unlikely to play in Week 17 against the Patriots. Neither had been fantasy relevant of late anyway. It means that Robby Anderson and some combination […]

Tevin Coleman To Be Limited Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (groin) will be limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that Coleman will be able to play in Week 17 against the Buccaneers in what is likely to be his final game with the team, as he'll be a free agent in […]

Julio Jones Trending Up

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, ribs) is trending up faster than last week. He will take part in the walkthrough and could practice on Thursday. Jones continues to fight through injuries late in the year, but he should play in the Week 17 season finale against the Buccaneers […]

T.Y. Hilton Still Missing From Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Hilton has rarely seen the practice field in the last couple of weeks but continues to play on game day and has been very productive, going over 100 yards receiving in four of the last six games. Hilton […]

Randall Cobb Returns To Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign for Cobb after he sat out in Week 16. If he plays in the Week 17 finale against the Lions, he could be a sneaky DFS dart throw if one or both of […]

Davante Adams, Equanimeous St. Brown Not Practicing

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) are both missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Adams was working on the side with trainers, while St. Brown was riding a bike. It doesn't bode well for their availability in the Week 17 season finale against the Lions, […]

Jordan Reed, Colt McCoy Placed On Injured Reserve

The Washington Redskins placed tight end Jordan Reed (toe) and quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Despite staying healthy until the end and playing in 13 games this year, Reed underwhelmed his fantasy owners with 54 catches for 558 yards and two touchdowns. He never gained chemistry with quarterback Alex Smith and […]

No Practice For DeSean Jackson Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not looking good for his chances of playing in Week 17 against the Falcons. ESPN's Josina Anderson was also told that Jackson has expressed his preference to move on from Tampa this offseason. He leads the NFL […]

Allen Robinson Could Be Rested This Weekend

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (ribs), who missed practice on Wednesday, is a good bet to get some healing time in Week 17 against the Vikings. While the Bears are still trying to grab a first-round bye, they need a win and a Rams loss to accomplish it. They could decide to limit Robinson's […]

Leonard Fournette Expected To Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is not expected to take part in practice on Thursday. Fournette was limited on Wednesday, so it's unclear if this is a setback or if the team is just resting him. Either way, he'll be a shaky volume-based RB2 in the season finale against a strong Texans […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Expected To Practice

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur doesn't expect wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) to practice on Thursday. Beckham has missed the last three games and looks primed to miss a fourth straight to close out the 2018 season. If that's the case, he'll finish with 77 catches (124 targets) for 1,052 yards and […]

Ryan Griffin Could Play Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said on Monday that the team would like to see quarterback Ryan Griffin take his first snaps in the NFL in a regular season game in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Falcons. "The guy's been here for three years," Koetter said. "He's worked his tail off." […]

Teddy Bridgewater To See Playing Time In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said there's no doubt that backup Teddy Bridgewater will see playing time in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Panthers. Brees and the other starters should be active for this game, but they might only play a series or two in the first quarter, much like a preseason […]

Ryan Tannehill Unlikely To Stay In Miami In 2019

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is unlikely to be with the team heading into the 2019 season. The team is prepared to move on from him after seven seasons instead of paying him the $19 million he's owed each of the next two years. He carries a $26.6 million salary-cap hit next season, with none […]

Rashaad Penny Practicing In Full

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. After missing the last two games, Penny is on track to return in Week 17 in a great matchup against the Cardinals. With Seattle possible resting Chris Carson as well, Penny could see more than his usual number of snaps, making him […]

Doug Baldwin Misses Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Baldwin, but he's often rested early in the week as he's battled through various injuries this year. Baldwin hasn't been seeing as many targets this year in a run-first offense, but he had a season-high seven catches on […]
