Alex Reyes' Role To Be Determined

The St. Louis Cardinals may decide to use pitching prospect Alex Reyes in a high-leverage bullpen role in order to protect his innings. Their long-time top prospect has been limited to four innings in the majors the last two years due to elbow and shoulder surgeries, and St. Louis expects him to be close to […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Titans for the second straight game. He was limited in practice on Wednesday but didn't practice on Thursday or Friday. It's terrible timing for OBJ's injury, as his fantasy owners are left in the cold in the […]

Keke Coutee Won't Play On Saturday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will not travel with the team to New York for Week 15 against the Jets on Saturday and has been ruled out after initially being questionable. It'll be Coutee's third straight missed game in a rookie season in which he just couldn't get past his hamstring issues. […]

DeSean Jackson Likely To Be Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) has yet to practice this week and is likely to be ruled out for Week 15 against the Ravens. D-Jax can't even squeeze a football yet, so it's looking more likely that he may not play again the rest of the season. Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries […]

T.Y. Hilton Has Yet To Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) missed practice again on Friday and has yet to practice this week going into Week 15 against the Cowboys on Sunday. At this point, Hilton has to be considered extremely questionable to suit up this weekend. If you were planning on starting him as a WR2, you need […]

Carson Wentz Questionable For Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (back) has a stress fracture in his vertebrae that has "evolved over time," but he will be questionable for Week 15 against the Rams on Sunday night. Wentz is traveling with the team but remains unlikely to play this weekend and possibly the rest of […]

Jets Put Isaiah Crowell On Injure Reserve

The New York Jets are placing running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) on Injured Reserve on Friday, according to a source. It will end Crowell's season. The 25-year-old will finish with 685 yards (219 of which came against Denver on Oct. 7) and six rushing touchdowns. Elijah McGuire and rookie Trenton Cannon will handle backfield duties […]

Yankees Meet With Andrew Miller

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has already met with the representatives for free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Miller. They are also interested in re-signing lefty reliever Zach Britton. Miller has been one of the most dominant left-handed relief pitchers in the game in recent seasons, but 2018 was not one of them. The southpaw […]

Keenan Allen Questionable To Return Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) is questionable to return on Thursday night against the Chiefs after injuring his hip. Allen initially injured his hip on a near incredible one-handed touchdown catch in the second quarter, but it was incomplete and he landed hard on his hip. Allen didn't have any catches before […]

Doug Baldwin Back At Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Baldwin sat out in Week 14 against the Vikings but appears on track to return this Sunday. Baldwin has become more of a WR3 because he's dealt with injuries all year in an offense that runs the […]

Rashaad Penny Out Again Thursday

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) missed his second practice in a row on Thursday. His status for Week 15 against the 49ers is now in concern. If he doesn't at least get in a limited practice on Friday, Penny will be unlikely to play. As long as Chris Carson remains the lead […]

Wilson Ramos A Top Target For Angels

Free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos is the Los Angeles Angels "primary target" right now, according to a source. Ramos is attracting plenty of interest from other teams as well, as he is one of the better hitting backstop options in baseball aside from his injury concerns. Ramos hit .306/.358/.487 with 15 home runs and 70 RBI […]

Jon Gray Of Interest To Teams

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray, who had a bad and unlucky 2018 campaign, was a popular request in trade talks at the winter meetings this week, according to multiple baseball sources with knowledge of the team's trade talks. Teams were also receptive to discussing first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond, who is guaranteed $40 million. The […]

Daniel Murphy On Colorado's Radar

Free-agent second basemen Daniel Murphy and Neil Walker and free-agent first baseman Logan Morrison are on the radar of the Colorado Rockies. However, the Rockies wouldn't want more than a short-term deal with any of them so it doesn't alter their plan to give increased playing time to left-handed hitting Ryan McMahon. McMahon played mostly […]

Rockies Have Discussed Justin Smoak

The Colorado Rockies have "discussed" Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak as a possible trade target. Smoak is a switch-hitting power first baseman that would look really attractive to fantasy owners in the thin air at Coors Field. The 32-year-old hit .242/.350/.457 with 25 home runs and 77 RBI in 147 games in 2018 […]

Spencer Ware Officially Inactive

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) is officially inactive for Thursday night against the Chargers after initially being ruled doubtful to play. Ware just couldn't get clearance on a short week after being injured in Week 14. In his absence, Damien Williams should be KC's lead back, with rookie Darrel Williams and […]

Melvin Gordon Officially Inactive Thursday Night

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is officially inactive for Thursday night against the Chiefs. Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) has already been ruled out, too, so rookie Justin Jackson should see the majority of backfield work in what could be a high-scoring game. Jackson has plenty of RB2 upside […]

Melvin Gordon Not Expected To Play

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is not expected to play on Thursday night against the Chiefs. When Gordon shook his head no when asked if he was playing. With Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) also ruled out, it'll be rookie Justin Jackson and Detrez Newsome taking backfield touches in a big divisional matchup […]

Padres Discussing Trade For Jurickson Profar

The San Diego Padres are discussing a potential trade for Texas Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar, but no deal is imminent, according to sources. The Friars are in the market for an infielder who can cover at the 6 until their top prospect, Fernando Tatis Jr., is ready for the big leagues next year. Profar can […]

Dante Pettis, Marquise Goodwin Limited

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Dante Pettis (foot) and Marquise Goodwin (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Both players should be able to suit up in Week 15 against the Seahawks as the team's top two wideouts. Pettis has come on strong of late as quarterback Nick Mullens' second favorite target behind tight […]

Ben Roethlisberger Practices In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It means that Big Ben will suit up in a crucial Week 15 game against the Patriots after missing most of the second half in the Week 14 loss to the Raiders. In what could be […]

Austin Hooper Misses Another Practice

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (calf, foot, illness) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. It's not looking good for Hooper's status in Week 15 against the Cardinals, and with Logan Paulsen (ankle, knee) also hurt, the team might be down to Eric Saubert this weekend. If that's the case, Saubert shouldn't […]

Steelers Giving Chris Boswell Another Chance

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with kicker Chris Boswell for Week 15 against the Patriots, according to a source. Veteran kicker Kai Forbath remained with the team after a Wednesday tryout, but he's been informed they are keeping Boswell. Boswell had a good practice on Thursday and will get another shot this weekend. After signing […]

James Conner Could Play Without Practicing

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner said he doesn't think Conner needs to practice in order to play in Week 15 against the Patriots. Conner is a long shot to play if he doesn't at least practice on Friday. It's […]

Keke Coutee Listed As Questionable

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Saturday against the Jets. Coutee has missed the last two games and has only played in six games all year, but he has a shot to return for Week 15. However, even if he's active, he'll be […]

Yankees Officially Re-Sign J.A. Happ

The New York Yankees officially agreed to re-sign starting pitcher J.A. Happ on Thursday, signing him to a two-year deal with an option for a third year. He'll make $17 million in 2019, $17 million in 2020 and have a vesting option for 2021 worth $17 million. The lefty's 2021 option triggers with 165 innings […]

LeSean McCoy Practices Thursday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. "Felt good. Out there with my teammates. Getting loose. Trying to get comfortable again," McCoy said. Shady was injured on the team's first drive last Sunday and finished with just two carries for one yard, completely disappointing fantasy […]

Dodgers Discussing Francisco Cervelli

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been in touch with the Pittsburgh Pirates about trading for catcher Francisco Cervelli and view free-agent Nick Hundley as a fallback option. Cervelli had a career-high 12 home runs while hitting .259/.378/.431 with 57 RBI for the Bucs in 2018. However, he played in just 104 games and has been […]

Dodgers Check In On Wilson Ramos

The Los Angeles Dodgers checked in on free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos on a one-year deal, but he is seeking more years, according to a source. Despite injury issues in his career, Ramos is one of the better hitting catchers in baseball and is very attractive on the open market. He'll certainly be relevant in single-catcher […]

J.T. Realmuto's Suitors Down To Six Teams

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto's trade suitors are essentially down to the Reds, Mets, Rays, Braves, Dodgers and Padres. With the winter meetings ending on Thursday, no trade is expected to go down on Thursday. The Mets haven't been able to work out a potential three-team blockbuster for Realmuto, but it's not out of the […]
