Christian Vazquez Behind The Plate In Game 2

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez is doing the catching in Game 2 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday over Sandy Leon. Vazquez will bat ninth against Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu. Vazquez hit .207/.257/.283 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 251 at-bats this year, including .231/.296/.308 with zero homers against […]

Marlon Mack Limited With Ankle Injury

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Mack seems to always be dealing with some sort of injury this year, but he should be good to go in Week 8 against the Raiders after a season-best performance in Week 7. With Mack the clear lead back over […]

Aaron Rodgers Practicing In Full

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday. It appears the bye week did Rodgers' left knee a lot of good. He's improving as the year progresses, so hopefully he won't suffer a setback during game action. Rodgers remains an elite QB1 and will likely have to pass often on […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming off the team's bye week. St. Brown will likely be able to play in Week 8 against the Rams, but there's no guarantee he'll be active with Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) expected to return after missing […]

Golden Tate, Ameer Abdullah Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (ankle) and running back Ameer Abdullah (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday, as was defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder). Tate's injury is worth monitoring, but we suspect he'll be fine for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Tate has had two mediocre games in a row and hasn't […]

Theo Riddick Still Missing From Practice

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) did not practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 7. The fact that Riddick was inactive coming off the bye week is not a good sign, and he doesn't look likely to play again in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Riddick will likely be found on most […]

Albert Wilson Put On IR, Leonte Carroo Promoted

The Miami Dolphins placed wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted Leonte Carroo from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. While Wilson isn't expected to need surgery, his season is likely over. He can be dropped in all leagues. With Kenny Stills also out for […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Not Practicing

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) are sitting out of practice on Wednesday, as are left tackle Joe Staley (knee) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf). It's looking unlikely that Breida and Garcon will play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. With Raheem Mostert playing well in Week […]

David Njoku Lands On Injury Report

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is on the injury report for Week 8 against the Steelers and was limited in practice on Wednesday. Njoku should be fine to play and has come on strong of late, posting back-to-back games with touchdowns and having 29 targets in the last three weeks. He had seven […]

Josh Rosen Returns To Practice Wednesday

As Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expected, rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. Rosen suffered a toe injury late in last Thursday's blowout loss to the Broncos, but he should be fine to suit up in Week 8 against the 49ers. Rosen was a disaster last week and hasn't looked […]

Cam Newton Dealing With Sore Shoulder

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Newton was a little bit sore and tired coming out of Week 7. Newton has gone over 300 yards passing just once this season, but he's completing 65.6 percent of his passes and has 11 passing touchdowns, […]

Doug Martin The Team's Feature Back

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden called running back Doug Martin a "feature back" with Marshawn Lynch (groin) on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old Martin hasn't done much of anything this year, rushing 27 times for 99 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. There's nothing to suggest he'll be more effective with a larger […]

Royce Freeman Not Practicing Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Although the Broncos are optimistic that Freeman may not have to miss any time, he's dealing with a high ankle sprain, which usually keeps players out several weeks. Fantasy owners should not be expecting Freeman to play against the Chiefs in Week […]

Zero Chance Patrick Peterson Gets Moved

There appears to be zero chance that Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is traded ahead of the deadline on Oct. 30. The Cardinals never put Peterson on the trade block, although he publicly asked for a trade out of the desert. The All-Pro shutdown cornerback doesn't want to be part of the team's rebuild, but […]

Rashard Higgins Still Sidelined

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is working on the side with athletic trainers during practice on Wednesday. Higgins has been out since spraining his MCL in Week 5, but he could be getting closer to a return. With nobody really stepping up behind Jarvis Landry, Higgins could surpass rookies Antonio Callaway and Damion […]

Giovani Bernard Not Practicing Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remains on the rehab field during practice on Wednesday. Bernard remains out with a sprained MCL, and he doesn't look close to returning in Week 8 against the Buccaneers. He's worth a stash for running-back needy fantasy owners, but he'll only be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back when he […]

No Practice For Wendell Smallwood, Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Wendell Smallwood (undisclosed) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are not practicing on Wednesday. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener and hasn't practiced since either, so there remains no timetable for his return. Smallwood has been forming an uninspiring tandem with Corey Clement since Jay Ajayi was lost for the season. If […]

Ryan Grant, Robert Turbin, Adam Vinatieri Not Practicing

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle), running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) are all missing practice on Wednesday. Grant and Turbin both sat out in Week 7 and could miss another game. Grant is waiver wire fodder with T.Y. Hilton returning to action last Sunday. Turbin is fourth on the […]

No Practice For Peyton Barber

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Barber picked up an ankle injury in Week 7, and it's unclear if it's serious enough to keep him sidelined in Week 8 against the Bengals. If he's forced to sit, it'd mean bigger workloads for rookie Ronald Jones II and Jacquizz […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Not Practicing

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are not practicing on Wednesday. Gronk missed Week 7, but his back injury isn't believed to be serious and he has a good chance of returning on Monday night against the Bills. It'll ease his owners' minds, though, if he […]

Patriots Won't Be Landing Patrick Peterson

The New England Patriots will not be trading for Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson at the trade deadline next Tuesday. A source said the team hasn't had a single conversation about making a deal for Peterson, and discussing how the team would be able to make him fit is a "waste of time." The Patriots […]

Lions Acquire Damon Harrison

The Detroit Lions acquired defensive tackle Damon Harrison from the New York Giants on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in next year's draft, according to sources. The Giants are already pretty much out of the playoff picture and have also sent cornerback Eli Apple to the Saints. Harrison will be a big boost […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy To Sit Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are both expected to sit out of practice on Wednesday. At this point, it seems likely that Fournette will rest up through the team's Week 9 bye. T.J. Yeldon has been an RB2 in his absence, but the presence of Carlos Hyde […]

Jack Doyle Has Chance To Return Against Raiders

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip), who has been out since Week 3, will practice on Wednesday and head coach Frank Reich isn't ruling Doyle out from returning in Week 8 to face the Raiders. When Doyle was injured coincided with Eric Ebron blowing up as a TE1, so it's fair to wonder if […]

Bilal Powell Out For The Season

The New York Jets placed running back Bilal Powell (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, effectively ending his season. He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so Week 7 could've been his last game with the team. He had rushed for 343 yards on 80 carries while also catching 11 passes for 110 […]

Broncos Release Chad Kelly

The Denver Broncos released backup quarterback Chad Kelly on Wednesday following his arrest for criminal trespassing, according to a source. Kelly had off-field issues in college as well, which was one of the reasons he was the last pick in the 2017 draft. It's a shame, since Kelly was primed to see starts in the […]

Broncos Not Looking To Trade Demaryius Thomas

The Denver Broncos will not trade wide receiver Demaryius Thomas this week and are not actively shopping him, according to a source. They will probably listen to offers from interested teams before the deadline Oct. 30, but it's a good bet that Thomas finishes the year in Denver. However, with Thomas declining and rookie Courtland […]

Teams Interested In Janoris Jenkins, Gareon Conley

Teams are expressing interest in trading for both New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins and Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley with the cornerback market heating up with the Oct. 30 deadline quickly approaching. The Eagles, Patriots and Steelers are among the teams exploring their options. The Giants and Raiders are both well out of the […]

Jets Unlikely To Land Patrick Peterson

The Arizona Cardinals fielded an inquiry from the New York Jets on cornerback Patrick Peterson, according to a source. However, the Cardinals aren't trading Peterson to the Jets, barring a miracle. The Jets are in desperate need of secondary help with cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Buster Skrine and safety Marcus Maye all currently injury, but […]

Albert Wilson Likely To Land On Injured Reserve

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) won't need surgery, he's still likely to be placed on Injured Reserve to give him time to recover, according to a source. He won't be eligible to return for eight weeks, so fantasy owners that added him last week off waivers will need to dump him already. […]
