Cole Beasley, Blake Jarwin Questionable

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and tight end Blake Jarwin (ankle) missed practice all week but are questionable for the divisional round on Saturday against the Rams. Both players are expected to be game-time decisions on Saturday. Even if they play, they're both lottery tickets for fantasy owners. Rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup […]

Melvin Gordon Says He'll Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knees) said he would have practiced on Wednesday, but head coach Anthony Lynn wanted him to "chill." Gordon said he will take part in practice on Thursday. Gordon should be fine to play against the Patriots in the divisional round on Sunday, but he's unlikely to be 100 […]

Steelers President Says Antonio Brown Trade Is Possible

Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II said he will not release wide receiver Antonio Brown, but "all other options are on the table." It's not a guarantee that Brown will be traded, but it's a strong possibility at this point. Brown has worn out his welcome after a practice scuffle before Week 17. The star […]

Todd Gurley Taken Off Final Injury Report

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and has been taken off the final injury report for the divisional round on Saturday against the Cowboys. Gurley has had the last three weeks to rest, so he should be at or very close to 100 percent against Dallas. He'll be […]

Sammy Watkins Up In The Air Against Colts

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said "we'll see" when asked if wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) would play in the divisional round against the Colts on Saturday. Watkins hasn't played since Week 11, so even if he's active, he'll be a huge DFS risk in danger of seeing limited snaps. Tyreek Hill and […]

Twins, Byron Buxton Progressing Towards Deal

The Minnesota Twins and outfielder Byron Buxton are progressing towards a one-year, $1.75 million deal on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration, according to sources. Buxton signed a one-year deal last year worth $570,000. The former second overall pick in 2012 teased with his potential at the end of the 2017 season, but 2018 was a […]

Cole Beasley, Blake Jarwin Still Absent Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and tight end Blake Jarwin (ankle) missed practice for the third straight day on Thursday. It's looking like both will be game-time decisions for the divisional round on Saturday against the Rams. Neither player would be a very smart DFS play this weekend even if they were fully […]

T.Y. Hilton Out Of Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) remains sidelined at practice on Thursday. It's not surprise, as Hilton has rarely practiced in the last month, but he hasn't missed any games and continues to be very productive for fantasy owners. He has blowup potential in what could be a high-scoring game against the Chiefs in […]

Mariners Sign Tim Beckham

The Seattle Mariners signed free-agent shortstop Tim Beckham to a one-year, $1.75 million deal with $250,000 in incentives on Thursday. The former first overall pick in 2008 was a disappointment in 2018 after a career year in 2017. He hit .230/.287/.374 with 12 home runs and 35 RBI in just 96 games with the Orioles. […]

Brian Dozier Agrees With Nationals

The Washington Nationals agreed to a one-year, $9 million deal with free-agent second baseman Brian Dozier on Thursday, according to league sources. Dozier had a down year in 2018, hitting .215/.305/.391 in 553 at-bats between the Twins and Dodgers, but he still managed 21 home runs, 72 RBI, 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. […]

Dowell Loggains Expected To Join Jets

The New York Jets are expected to hire former Dolphins offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains as the main offensive assistant to new head coach Adam Gase, according to sources.

Brewers Agree With Yasmani Grandal

The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent catcher Yasmani Grandal on Wednesday, according to sources. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. He turned down a one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer from the Dodgers and a four-year deal that could have reached $60 million with the Mets. Grandal was a disaster both […]

Jets To Hire Adam Gase As Head Coach

The New York Jets are hiring former Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase on Wednesday to be their next head coach. Gase is best known for coaching Peyton Manning to a record-setting year in Denver, but he pretty much flopped in his time with Miami and wasn't able to get quarterback Ryan Tannehill over the […]

Shelby Miller Agrees With Rangers

The Texas Rangers agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent starting pitcher Shelby Miller on Wednesday. League sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan that the deal is worth $2 million with performance bonuses that could bring it up to $5 million. The 28-year-old right-hander dealt with injuries in his three seasons with the Diamondbacks and […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Practices In Full Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. Patterson was held out of Week 17 as a precaution and should return to face the Chargers this Sunday in the divisional round. Patterson's role could increase now that Josh Gordon is no longer in the fold, but he's more of a […]

Hunter Henry On Track To Make Season Debut

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday. Henry was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list after tearing his ACL last spring, but he looks to be on track to make his season debut in the divisional round against the Patriots. He has plenty of pass-catching upside […]

Ted Ginn Practicing In Full

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday. He was held out as a precaution in Week 17 and had the first-round bye to heal up even more, so he'll be good for the divisional round against the Eagles on Sunday. Ginn has played in just five games this […]

Eric Ebron, Dontrelle Inman Return To Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (hip) and wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (finger, shoulder) both returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out on Tuesday. Ebron leads all tight ends with 14 total touchdowns on the season and will be a popular DFS pick in a potential shootout. Inman has become heavily involved […]

T.Y. Hilton, Ryan Grant Remain Out Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (ankle) and Ryan Grant (toe) both missed practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Hilton doesn't really practice much anymore, but he will play against the Chiefs in the divisional round on Saturday. He hasn't scored since Nov. 18, but Hilton remains heavily involved as quarterback Andrew Luck's […]

No Practice For Carson Wentz

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Wentz hasn't practiced since suffering the fracture in his back and seems unlikely to return this postseason, even if the Eagles are holding out hope that he can contribute if they continue to advance. Backup Nick Foles keeps finding a way to lead […]

Alshon Jeffery, Golden Tate Limited In Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (ribs) and Golden Tate (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to play in the divisional round against the Saints on Sunday. The entire Eagles offense was shut down against the Saints earlier this year, but they'll likely have to throw often to […]

Chris Herndon IV Pleads Guilty To DWI

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated on Wednesday stemming from his arrest during a two-car accident last June. He was sentenced to 90 days of a lost license and he will likely face a suspension from the league to begin the 2019 season. The 22-year-old rookie came […]

Melvin Gordon Won't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knees) is dealing with sore knees and won't practice on Wednesday, but head coach Anthony Lynn still expects Gordon to play in the divisional round against the Patriots on Sunday. Gordon had a minor left knee sprain in the wild-card win over the Ravens and returned to the […]

Kevin Plawecki Avoids Arbitration

Cleveland Indians catcher Kevin Plawecki avoided salary arbitration on Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.137 million deal. The Tribe acquired Plawecki from the Mets last weekend, and he's expected to be the primary catcher in 2019 alongside Roberto Perez. He was a top prospect before reaching the big leagues, but he's hit just .218/.308/.330 […]

Kevin Stefanski To Be Permanent Offensive Coordinator

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Wednesday that Kevin Stefanski, who was a finalist for the Browns head coaching gig, will return in 2019 as the offensive coordinator, according to a source. Stefanski took over midseason for John DeFilippo and placed more of an emphasis on the running game with Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray. The […]

Gary Kubiak Named Offensive Coordinator In Denver

The Denver Broncos announced on Wednesday that former head coach Gary Kubiak will be the team's offensive coordinator in 2019. Kubiak hasn't been on the field coaching in the last two years, but he was still in Denver's front office. He will return to the sidelines to run an offense with plenty of young talent […]

Broncos Hire Vic Fangio As Next Head Coach

The Denver Broncos reached an agreement on Wednesday to make former Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio their next head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Dan Graziano.

Browns Hiring Freddie Kitchens As Head Coach

The Cleveland Browns will hire Freddie Kitchens to be the 18th head coach in franchise history on Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Once Kitchens was running the […]

Cole Beasley, Blake Jarwin Out Again Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and tight end Blake Jarwin (ankle) both missed practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Both players are shaping up to be questionable against the Rams in the divisional round on Saturday. Beasley blew up for 101 yards and two touchdowns back on Oct. 14 and Jarwin […]

Todd Bowles Hired By Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired former New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles as their next defensive coordinator on Tuesday. Head coach Bruce Arians also brought Byron Leftwich to be the pass-game coordinator and Harold Goodwin from his time with the Cardinals.
