Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen Expected To Play Saturday

The Los Angeles Chargers feel that there is a legitimate chance that running backs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) and wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) will be ready for the Week 16 game against the Ravens on Saturday night, according to a source. They will certainly need them in a big game […]

Todd Gurley Injured Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) is questionable to return in the second half on Sunday night against the Eagles. The Rams offense runs through Gurley, so they'd be in trouble if this is a serious injury, as would his fantasy owners. The good news is Gurley had already carried the ball 11 […]

Matt Breida Aggravates Ankle Injury Against Seattle

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) aggravated his ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 15 overtime win over the Seahawks. Breida was the lead back for most of this game over Jeffery Wilson, which was a good sign for Breida's owners after he sat out in Week 14. He totaled […]

Manny Machado To Meet With White Sox

Free-agent shortstop Manny Machado is expected to meet with the Chicago White Sox next week. The Yankees, White Sox and Phillies are the three teams believed to be pursuing the superstar the most. Chicago has plenty of money to spend and also just traded for Machado's brother in law, first baseman Yonder Alonso. Machado would […]

Dodgers, Rays Still In Mix For J.T. Realmuto

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays are among the teams still in the mix to trade for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, according to sources. The Mets are now off the board after signing catcher Wilson Ramos on Sunday. The Marlins have said they won't just trade Realmuto to trade him, and they […]

Wilson Ramos Signs With Mets

The New York Mets agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos on Sunday. This signing means that the Mets will no longer pursue Miami Marlins backstop J.T. Realmuto. Ramos and Travis D'Arnaud will split the catching duties next year, with Ramos likely seeing most of the playing time. He has […]

Manny Machado To Meet With Yankees Wednesday

Free-agent shortstop Manny Machado is scheduled to have a meeting with the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Machado is the top option on the free-agent market alongside superstar outfielder Bryce Harper. The Yanks could use Machado at the 6 for at least half the season with Didi Gregorius (elbow) recovering from Tommy John surgery. They […]

James Conner Officially Inactive

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) is officially inactive in Week 15 against the Patriots. Wide receiver/returner Ryan Switzer (ankle) is active. Conner wasn't expected to play in this one, but he has a chance to return in Week 16 against the Saints after missing the last two games. Rookie Jaylen Samuels should lead […]

Matt Breida, Dante Pettis, Marquise Goodwin Active

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receivers Dante Pettis (foot) and Marquise Goodwin (calf) are all active in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Breida will return after a one-game absence, but he won't necessarily be the workhorse in this one. Jeffery Wilson could steal valuable touches, making Breida more of an […]

Doug Baldwin Playing Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) is active for Week 15 against the 49ers. Baldwin sat out last Monday night but has returned to face the Niners, who he had two catches for 22 yards and a touchdown against just weeks ago. He hasn't been seeing many targets in this run-first offense, though, and […]

Isaiah McKenzie Questionable To Return

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (leg) is questionable to return in Week 15 against the Lions after suffering a leg injury. With LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory inactive for this one, the Bills are down to Patrick DiMarco in the backfield after both Marcus Murphy and Keith Ford suffered in-game injuries. McKenzie had one […]

Frank Gore Suffers Foot Sprain In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (foot) suffered a foot sprain in Week 15 against the Vikings and was ruled out for the rest of the game, according to a source. X-rays on his foot came back negative, but his availability for the final two games of the season will be up in the air. […]

Tyler Boyd's Day Is Over

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (knee) has been ruled out in Week 15 against the Raiders after suffering a knee injury. The good news for his fantasy owners is that Boyd had four receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown in the game before suffering the injury. With just two games left in the […]

Aaron Jones Injured Sunday

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of the Week 15 game against the Bears and was ruled out after halftime. Jones had only four carries for eight yards and didn't have a target in the passing game before going down. That'll hurt badly for his […]

Braves Not Planning On Pursuing J.T. Realmuto?

The Atlanta Braves haven't had any recent trade talks regarding Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto in the last five days and don't plan on having any more talks with the Marlins, according to a source. However, catcher Tyler Flowers could be available in a trade, which might mean that the Braves aren't totally out of […]

Eloy Jimenez Likely To Be Shut Down Until Spring Training

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez (quadriceps) is likely to be shut down until spring training after suffering an injury in the Dominican Republic winter league. It doesn't sound like a serious injury or anything that will affect his availability for the start of next season, but it's something to watch. Jimenez is the […]

Alex Smith Released From Hospital

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg) was finally released from the hospital on Sunday after spending multiple days in the hospital and going through several surgeries to combat infection in his broken right leg. There is optimism but no certainty that Smith will be able to play football again. If Smith can't play again, the […]

Lamar Miller's Injury Not Serious

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller's ankle injury that he suffered on Saturday against the Jets is not considered major, according to sources. There is a chance that Miller can play in Week 16 against the Eagles, but either way he should be ready for the playoffs. Miller hurt his fantasy owners in the semifinals […]

Eli Manning Expected To Stay With Giants Next Year

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has steadily improved his play late in the season and could be playing his way onto the 2019 roster, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He is, from what I understand, playing his way onto the roster in 2019," Rapoport said. "Sources I talked to, were adamant, no decision […]

James Conner Expected To Return In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle), who is expected to miss his second straight game in Week 15 against the Patriots, is expected to return in Week 16 against the Saints. Conner has been dealing with a high ankle sprain. With him out again this weekend, rookie Jaylen Samuels will again lead this backfield. […]

Melvin Gordon Expected To Be Back In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee), who has missed the last three games, is expected to be back in Week 16 against the Ravens. Rookie Justin Jackson carried the load last Thursday with Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) also out and held his own. With Gordon expected to return, though, both Ekeler and Jackson […]

Ben Roethlisberger Playing Through Cracked Ribs

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) suffered cracked ribs in Week 14 against the Raiders. It's the reason why he didn't return in the second half of that game until late in the fourth quarter with the team trailing. Big Ben will suit up and play in a very important game against the Patriots in […]

Carlos Hyde, Josh Lambo Inactive Against Redskins

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde and kicker Josh Lambo (groin) are both inactive in Week 15 against the Redskins. With Hyde a healthy scratch, TJ Yeldon and rookie David Williams will serve as the backups to workhorse Leonard Fournette. It's clear that Hyde doesn't have much of a role in this offense with Fournette […]

Josh Doctson, Chris Thompson Playing Sunday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (concussion) and running back Chris Thompson (illness) are both active in Week 15 against the Jaguars. It's really hard to trust any fantasy weapon in Washington's offense now that quarterback Josh Johnson is running the show, and that includes both Doctson and Thompson. The Jaguars present a tough matchup […]

T.Y. Hilton Active Against Cowboys

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is active in Week 15 against the Cowboys. Hilton was a game-time decision after not practicing at all this week, but he will gut it out in a must-win game for Indy. Hilton had a big game last week against the Texans while playing injured and has WR2 […]

Allen Robinson Active Against Packers

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (hip) is active for Week 15 against the Packers. A-Rob enters this game without scoring a touchdown in the last four games. He also has just one game with over 100 yards receiving and is a low-ceiling, touchdown-dependent WR3. Hopefully quarterback Mitch Trubisky looks much better than he did […]

Joe Flacco Active In Week 15

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is active in Week 15 against the Buccaneers. However, rookie Lamar Jackson will receive his fifth straight start and has QB1 upside against Tampa's bad defense. With Flacco back on the sidelines, Robert Griffin III is a healthy scratch. Running back Ty Montgomery is also a healthy scratch for […]

Ito Smith Playing Against Cardinals

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Ito Smith (neck) is active for Week 15 against the Cardinals. Smith has out-touched Tevin Coleman of late and has become the more enticing RB3/flex in deeper leagues. The matchup is also a nice one for Smith, so he could make some noise on Sunday. His presence in the backfield […]

Chad Williams Inactive Again

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (hamstring) remains inactive for Week 15 against the Falcons. Williams hasn't played since Oct. 28 and is well off the fantasy radar as a result. Rookie Trent Sherfield and deep threat JJ Nelson will remain in three-receiver sets with Larry Fitzgerald with Williams out. Sherfield isn't a bad flex […]

LeSean McCoy, Chris Ivory Not Playing Sunday

Buffalo Bills running backs LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) are both inactive in Week 15 against the Lions. However, kicker Stephen Hauschka (hip) is active. With both McCoy and Ivory out against Detroit, lead-back duties will fall to Marcus Murphy, while rookie Keith Ford will back him up. Murphy is strictly a deep […]
