Austin Hooper Will Play Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (ankle, knee) will play in Week 15 against the Cardinals, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Hooper missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned on Friday, putting him on track to play. Hooper has a decent floor as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 and has four touchdowns on the season. […]

Ito Smith Questionable For Week 15

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Ito Smith (knee) was held out of practice on Friday and is now questionable to play in Week 15 against the Cardinals. It's a concern for fantasy owners that were hoping to use Smith as an RB3/flex this weekend in an excellent matchup. Smith has been out-touching Tevin Coleman of […]

Nationals Interested In Dallas Keuchel

The Washington Nationals are interested in free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, but they are wary of giving him the five- or six-year deal that he's looking for, according to a source familiar with the team's thinking. Anibal Sanchez, Wade Miley and Jeremy Hellickson would be more affordable. It's especially hard to see the Nats landing […]

Chris Thompson, Josh Doctson Questionable

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (illness) and wide receiver Josh Doctson (concussion) are questionable to face the Jaguars in Week 15. We suspect that both will play, but their status shouldn't be taken for granted. In an offense now led by quarterback Josh Johnson going up against a tough defense, it's really hard to […]

Jordan Reed Ruled Out

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that tight end Jordan Reed (toe) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Jaguars. Given Reed's extensive injury history and with the Redskins having little chance at the playoffs, it wouldn't be surprising if Reed doesn't play again this year. Vernon Davis will take over the […]

Josh Lambo Questionable For Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Redskins. Rookie wide receiver DJ Chark (quadriceps) has been ruled out. Lambo is expected to be able to play. He's had a good year while making 19 of his 21 field-goal attempts and 19 of his 20 extra points, but […]

T.Y. Hilton Questionable Against Cowboys

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Cowboys and didn't practice all week. Hilton will likely be a game-time decision Sunday morning. Have a backup plan in place in case he's inactive. If he plays, he'll be a WR2 even in a tough matchup after blowing […]

Josh Doctson Back At Practice Friday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (concussion) returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. While Doctson is likely to be questionable on the final injury report, he at least has a chance to suit up in Week 15 against the Jaguars. However, with Josh Johnson now under center and against a […]

DeSean Jackson Ruled Out Against Ravens

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Ravens. It's not a surprise after Jackson didn't practice at all again this week. He still can't even squeeze a football and is in danger of missing the rest of the season. […]

Julio Jones Expected To Play In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot, illness), who was sent home sick on Thursday, is present for practice on Friday. Head coach Dan Quinn said on Thursday that Jones is expected to play in Week 15 against the Cardinals. Jones blew up for two touchdowns in Week 14 and leads the NFL in receiving […]

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 […]
