DeSean Jackson Ruled Out Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) was officially ruled out for Week 14 against the Saints on Friday. He didn't take part in practice all week and is in danger of missing the rest of the season. Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries continue to benefit from Jackson's injury and are basically must-starts in […]

Darron Lee Suspended For Rest Of Season

New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee has been suspended by the league for the remaining four games of the season without pay for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. The former first-rounder was having a great season with 74 tackles, three interceptions (one for a touchdown) and five passes defensed. His loss will hurt New York's […]

Joe Flacco Questionable In Week 14

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Chiefs. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and was declining before that. Rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson has been much better with Flacco out and hasn't lost while replacing the veteran. Even if Flacco is active, his ceiling would be mixing […]

Melvin Gordon Officially Ruled Out

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bengals. Gordon is nursing a sprained knee and might even struggle to be cleared for next Thursday's game against the Chiefs. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson will continue to hold down the fort as long as […]

Stephen Gilmore Questionable For Week 14

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (ankle) was added to the injury report on Friday and got in a limited practice. He's listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Dolphins. Late-week injury additions often don't play, but we'll have to see if Gilmore is active on Sunday. If he's out, it'll be an upgrade […]

Kerryon Johnson Officially Ruled Out

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Cardinals after not practicing at all this week. It'll be Johnson's third straight missed game. LeGarrette Blount has seen 35 carries in the last two weeks and will continue to be the backfield workhorse in a good […]

Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Questionable

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receivers Bruce Ellington (back) and Brandon Powell (calf) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 14 against the Cardinals. Everyone in this group should be able to suit up, barring some sort of setback. Stafford's ceiling is […]

Doug Martin, Seth Roberts Listed As Questionable

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers. Martin should be good to go for this game, but he could lose work to Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington. Martin is a touchdown-dependent RB3 that could suffer in negative game […]

Pierre Garcon Misses Practice Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday after he was limited on Wednesday. Garcon was limited in practice all last week before being inactive, and he hasn't played since Nov. 1. We'd be surprised if he's active in Week 14 against the Broncos, which would […]

Reds Not Close To Extension For Scooter Gennett

The Cincinnati Reds and second baseman Scooter Gennett haven't made any progress in contract-extension talks after starting discussions in July. "I wouldn't expect it before the calendar turns [to 2019]," president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. "There's too much up in the air in terms of roster construction going forward. I don't think you'll […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson, who had missed two practices this week due to the death of his grandmother, returned to the team on Friday and should play in Week 14 against the Panthers. Johnson had a measly two touches last week against the Texans and three total touches the week prior, so the […]

Nationals Owner Essentially Rules Out Re-Signing Bryce Harper

Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner virtually ruled out the team re-signing outfielder Bryce Harper on Friday. The Nats offered Harper a 10-year, $300 million deal on the last day of the regular season and are unlikely to make another offer after he rejected it for a shot at the free-agent market. "Well, when we met […]

Mitch Trubisky Taken Off Final Injury Report

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full all week and has been taken off the final injury report for Week 14 against the Rams. Trubisky will return on Sunday night after missing the last two games. This was the expectation all along, and Trubisky will have QB1 upside in a game that could […]

Matt Bryant Questionable For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Bryant should be able to play against the Packers this week in a favorable matchup after being limited in practice this week. He'll be an acceptable low-end fantasy kicker if he's active. If he sits out of this one, […]

Melvin Gordon A Long Shot To Play This Week

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) missed practice all week as he rehabs from his sprained right knee. We expect he'll be ruled out later in the day for Week 14 against the Bengals. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson should again split touches in the Bolts backfield against a Bengals team that […]

A's Willing To Bring Jonathan Lucroy Back

The Oakland Athletics are focused on re-signing catcher Jonathan Lucroy to a one-year deal, according to sources, but it's unclear if he's interested in just a one-year contract. The A's don't want to give a multi-year deal to a catcher with prospect Sean Murphy waiting in the wings. They have checked in on free-agents Wilson […]

Kelvin Benjamin Not Expected To Debut In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid doesn't expect wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to play in Week 14 against the Ravens after the team signed him Thursday night. There is a possibility that Benjamin will make his debut with the team on Thursday next week against the Chargers. Benjamin will effectively be replacing Sammy Watkins […]

Danny Amendola Questionable For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against his old team, the Patriots. Amendola missed last week but should be able to return this Sunday after practicing on a limited basis all week. Amendola had seven catches for 72 yards on Nov. 11 against the Packers, but he's […]

Cordy Glenn, Vontaze Burfict Ruled Out

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (back), linebacker Vontaze Burfict (concussion) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (ankle) have all been ruled out for Week 14 against the Chargers. Glenn also missed last week against the Broncos, and quarterback Jeff Driskel had very little time to throw in the pocket. That should also be the case this […]

Josh Doctson Listed As Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (hip) is questionable for Week 14 against the Giants. Doctson did have a season-high 10 targets two games ago, but otherwise he hasn't done much with more opportunity in 2018 with Jamison Crowder missing a big chunk of the year. Doctson doesn't have more than six catches or 66 […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Added To Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Friday and was limited in practice, but he is expected to play against the Redskins. OBJ suffered the injury two weeks ago on the final play against the Eagles. Beckham has 18 targets in the last two […]

Evan Engram Will Play In Week 14

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) will return to action in Week 14 against the Redskins after missing the last two games. He was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and was taken off the final injury report. "Yeah, I'm ready to ride," Engram said. "Had a good week." Engram […]

Devonta Freeman Has Chance To Return This Year

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (groin) has been rehabbing in Philadelphia and head coach Dan Quinn isn't ruling him out for the remainder of the season. While Freeman has a shot to play before Week 17, it doesn't make much sense for the Falcons to risk re-injury after Freeman had surgery earlier this year. […]

Jonnu Smith To Miss Rest Of Season

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) will miss the rest of the season with an MCL injury, according to a source. Smith was rolled up on during Derrick Henry's 99-yard touchdown run on Thursday night. He had come on strong lately as the team's main pass-catching tight end, and he'll finish the 2018 season […]

Dodgers Could Trade Yasiel Puig

The Los Angeles Dodgers could finally trade outfielder Yasiel Puig this winter, as he's set to be a free agent after the 2019 season. Puig remains inconsistent with his production and the Dodgers have a surplus of outfielders. Los Angeles has made several attempts to trade Puig in recent seasons but couldn't find a taker. […]

T.Y. Hilton To Be Game-Time Decision

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (shoulder) will be a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Texans. However, head coach Frank Reich is "feeling somewhat optimistic" that Hilton will play in an important divisional game. We think that Hilton will suit up against a team that he usually plays really well against. The game […]

Dontrelle Inman, Mo Alie-Cox Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (shoulder) and tight end Mo Alie-Cox (calf) have both been ruled out for Week 14 against the Texans. With Inman out, Chester Rogers should see more opportunities as the No. 3 wideout, but he's a low-ceiling WR5 and should be avoided in most leagues. Alie-Cox will miss his third […]

Denzel Ward Ruled Out Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Panthers. Ward has been the team's best cornerback in his rookie season and has shown a nose for the football, so it'll certainly be a downgrade for a defense going up against a strong offense in Carolina. Ward's absence […]

Graham Gano Won't Kick In Week 14

Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Browns, according to a source. However, his injury doesn't seem to be a long-term one, so he could be back in Week 15. The Panthers signed Chandler Catanzaro on Friday, so he'll handle the kicking duties this Sunday. He wasn't […]

Xavien Howard Ruled Out Against Patriots

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Patriots. Howard is week-to-week and could also sit out next week. His absence this weekend severely limits Miami's secondary and is good news for the outlook of Patriots receiver Josh Gordon.
