Odell Beckham Jr. Says He's Day-To-Day

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) said he is doing "much better" on Thursday and is taking it day-to-day. However, his status for Week 15 against the Titans remains up in the air. OBJ will likely be questionable for this weekend, but it appears he has a better chance of suiting up […]

Kerryon Johnson, Bruce Ellington Sidelined Thursday

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) and wide receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) both remained sidelined at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Johnson looks likely to miss his fourth straight game, and Ellington looks unlikely for Week 15 against the Bills as well. LeGarrette Blount and Zach Zenner could split the […]

Derrius Guice's Rehab Delayed By Infection

Washington Redskins rookie running back Derrius Guice (knee), who suffered a torn ACL in the first preseason game, has dealt with an infection in his knee that has delayed his rehab. Guice required three additional surgeries to combat the infection. The No. 59 overall pick of the draft was expected to have a big role […]

Jordan Reed, Josh Doctson Out Again

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) and wide receiver Josh Doctson (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Given Reed's injury issues in his career, it's unlikely he plays in Week 15 against the Jaguars, and he could even be shut down the rest of the season. Vernon Davis will […]

Allen Robinson Won't Miss Packers Game

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (hip) missed practice on Wednesday with what head coach Matt Nagy called a "maintenance day." Robinson will practice on Thursday and will not miss Week 15 against the Packers. A-Rob has gone over 100 yards just once this year and hasn't scored since Nov. 11. With quarterback Mitch Trubisky […]

Julio Jones Sent Home With Illness

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot, illness) was sent home from practice with an illness on Thursday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The team fully expects Jones to be back on Friday. The Falcons are likely just resting the veteran wideout after he went off for two touchdowns against the Packers in Week […]

T.Y. Hilton Still Absent Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's now become a concern for Hilton owners, although he missed several practice days last week and still played and went off against the Texans. If Hilton is able to practice on Friday, we'd feel a lot more comfortable […]

Elijah McGuire Questionable For Week 15

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday against the Texans. McGuire was limited in practice to close out the week, so he should be able to suit up. With Isaiah Crowell (toe) out, McGuire should lead Gang Green in backfield touches and will be on the RB3/flex radar […]

Isaiah Crowell, Quincy Enunwa Ruled Out

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 15 against the Texans on Saturday. Elijah McGuire is likely to lead the backfield in touches now in a tough matchup with Houston. Consider him an RB3/flex option in deeper leagues. Rookie Trenton Cannon should […]

Carson Wentz Has Fractured Vertebrae In Back

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz's (back) CT scan revealed a fractured vertebrae that could be allowed to heal with no further expected issues, according to sources. Wentz will continue to be evaluated to determine if he can make the injury worse by playing this year. Wentz is highly unlikely to play in Week 15 against […]

Rays Acquire Yandy Diaz From Tribe

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Yandy Diaz from the Cleveland Indians on Thursday in exchange for first baseman Jake Bauers in a three-team deal that also included the Mariners. It's unclear how much playing time Diaz will get in his new home, but he should have a chance to carve out an everyday role […]

Indians Get Carlos Santana, Jake Bauers

The Cleveland Indians are acquiring first baseman Carlos Santana from the Mariners and first baseman Jake Bauers from the Rays on Thursday in a three-team swap. The Tribe shipped designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion to Seattle and infielder Yandy Diaz to the Rays. The Tribe now has a surplus of DH/first base types, although Bauers could […]

Edwin Encarnacion Heading To Seattle

The Seattle Mariners will acquire designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion and a compensatory Round B selection from the Cleveland Indians on Thursday in exchange for first baseman Carlos Santana in a three-team deal also involving the Rays. E5 can also play some first base, but he'll likely serve mostly as a DH in Seattle. He'll turn 36 […]

Isaiah Crowell Not Practicing Thursday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) is missing his third straight day of practice on Thursday. Crowell was spotted wearing a walking boot earlier this week and hasn't practiced all week, so we'd be surprised if he played in Week 15 against the Texans on Saturday. Expect Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon to […]

Mariners Close To Acquiring Edwin Encarnacion

The Seattle Mariners are close to acquiring designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion from the Cleveland Indians on Thursday, according to sources. The deal could be a three-team swap also involving the Rays, with first baseman Carlos Santana moving to the Indians. There could be a lot more moving parts to this deal, so stay tuned for […]

DeSean Jackson Not Practicing Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is missing practice again on Thursday. Jackson still can't squeeze a football, so he's highly unlikely to play in Week 15 against the Ravens and could miss the rest of the season. Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries will continue to benefit in the passing game, but they […]

Carson Wentz Undergoing More Tests

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) underwent a back scan on Wednesday that came back inconclusive, and he is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on Thursday to help diagnose an issue that he has dealt with over the last couple of weeks, according to a source. Wentz is unlikely to play in Week 15 […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Won't Practice Thursday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) is getting "further evaluated" outside the practice facilities on Thursday and will not practice. OBJ took part in individual drills on Wednesday, which was a good sign, but this news makes us wonder if Beckham will play in Week 15 […]

Ezekiel Elliott Will Practice Thursday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (shoulder) was just receiving a rest day on Wednesday and will return to practice on Thursday. Zeke has been crushing it on the ground lately and is a top-three fantasy running back in Week 15 on the road against the Colts. He's a must-start.

Melvin Gordon Fighting An Uphill Battle

It will be a challenge for Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) to be active on Thursday night against the Chiefs, although the team won't make a final determination until pregame warmups. Gordon's injury was a two- to four-week ailment and it's been 18 days since he suffered the injury on Nov. 25. […]

Orioles Willing To Move Alex Cobb

The Baltimore Orioles have made it known that they would trade starting pitcher Alex Cobb in the right deal. He has three years and $43 million left on his deal, however, so the O's would probably have to eat some of the money left. The 31-year-old right-hander was 5-10 with a 4.90 ERA, 1.41 WHIP […]

White Sox Pursuing Jeurys Familia

The Chicago White Sox are pursuing free-agent relief pitcher Jeurys Familia, according to a source. The White Sox are looking to boost the back end of their bullpen, as they currently have Jace Fry and Nate Jones as their top two candidates for the ninth inning. Familia had a solid season in 2018, posting a […]

Mets Have Extension Talks With Jacob deGrom

The New York Mets had preliminary contract-extension talks with starting pitcher Jacob deGrom's agents this week. It's unlikely that anything happens soon, but the lines of communication are open. deGrom dazzled in 2018 and won the National League Cy Young, although he only managed to win 10 games with a bad Mets offense behind him […]

Revisiting Alvin Kamara - Can He Help You Win A Championship?

Many fantasy owners of New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara were panicking after his dud in Week 5 on Monday night against the Washington Redskins when he had a season-low nine touches (six carries for 24 yards and three catches for 15 yards). That game coincided with the return of Mark Ingram from his […]

Nationals Discussing Wade Miley

The Washington Nationals have discussed free-agent starting pitcher Wade Miley as a replacement for Tanner Roark, according to sources. The Nats sent Roark to the Reds on Wednesday. Miley got a late start in 2018 due to an injury, but he was great in his 16 starts for Milwaukee, going 5-2 with a 2.57 ERA, […]

White Sox Showing Interest In Adam Ottavino

The Chicago White Sox have shown interest in free-agent relief pitcher Adam Ottavino, according to sources. Despite being in the middle of a rebuild, the Pale Hose have money to spend and are interested in taking a big step forward in 2019. Ottavino was the Rockies best reliever in 2018, recording six saves, a 2.43 […]

Doug Baldwin Day-To-Day

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) is day-to-day, and the team is hoping he can play in Week 15 against the 49ers. Baldwin didn't practice at all last week and was inactive on Monday night in the win over the Vikings. If he does return this Sunday, he'll be […]

Nationals Considering Anibal Sanchez

The Washington Nationals have kicked the tires on free-agent starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez, who had a 1.50 ERA in 18 innings against them as a member of the Braves last year. The veteran right-hander held the Nats to a .159 average and .576 OPS. Sanchez surprised everyone when he went 7-6 with a 2.83 ERA, […]

Justin Bour Agrees With Angels

The Los Angeles Angels agreed to an undisclosed deal with free-agent first baseman Justin Bour on Wednesday, according to a source. Bour will turn 31 next May and ended his 2018 season as a bench player for the Phillies, seeing just 49 at-bats with them in 29 games. He hit only .227/.347/.412 with 19 home […]

Reds Acquire Tanner Roark Wednesday

The Cincinnati Reds acquired starting pitcher Tanner Roark from the Washington Nationals on Wednesday in exchange for pitcher Tanner Rainey. Roark was very up and down in his final season with Washington in 2018, going 9-15 with a 4.34 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 across 31 outings (30 starts) over 180 1/3 innings. Hitter-friendly […]
