D.J. Chark, Marcell Dareus Out Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (back) are out for Week 12 against the Bills. Chark has only 14 catches on 30 targets for 174 yards this year, so he has been a non-factor for fantasy owners. Dareus' absence on the interior will be a loss for Jacksonville's […]

Joe Flacco Out Again In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Raiders. Flacco missed practice all week, and it's unclear when he'll be able to start again. Rookie Lamar Jackson threw for 150 yards and an interception in last week's win over the Bengals but ran 26 times for 119 yards. He's […]

Jordy Nelson Active In Week 12

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) is active in Week 12 against the Ravens. While Nelson has three touchdowns on the year, he hasn't gone over two catches or 16 yards since he had four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on Oct. 7 against the Chargers. Especially against a tough Ravens defense, […]

Robby Anderson Playing Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is active for Week 12 against the Patriots. Anderson is back for the first time since Nov. 4 against the Dolphins, and he's expected to have a limited role in his return against New England. With quarterback Sam Darnold still on the shelf, it's really hard to […]

Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Active

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (knee, illness), tight end Rob Gronkowski (back, ankle) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are all active for Week 12 against the Jets. It's a bit odd that all three were questionable coming off their bye week, but they will play and should be in everyone's lineups. Brady […]

Josh Adams To Be Featured As Starter

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams is expected to be featured as the starter moving forward. Adams has exactly 14 carries for 100 yards and a score in the last two weeks and has proven to be the best option over Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood. Still, he could have his touches limited in this […]

Torrey Smith Returning In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) is active for Week 12 against the Seahawks. Smith has been out since Oct. 21 and should help with Devin Funchess (back) being out against Seattle. However, Smith wasn't a very big part of the passing game before his injury and will remain a WR4/5 as a boom/bust […]

Devin Funchess Officially Out In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) is officially out for Week 12 against the Seahawks. Running backs Kenjon Barner and Travaris Cadet are also healthy scratches for this contest. With Funchess out, rookie DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel should have substantial roles in the passing game, with Moore being the more attractive fantasy bet. […]

Doug Baldwin Active Against Panthers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (groin) is active for Week 12 against the Panthers despite not practicing all week. Running back C.J. Prosise continues to be a healthy scratch, while linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) also remains out of action. Baldwin had one of his best games of the season last week with seven catches […]

Jordan Reed Still Dealing With Pain

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toes) is still fighting pain in his toes from offseason surgery and is rebuilding strength in his legs, but he hasn't missed a single game in 10 weeks. He currently has 37 catches for 391 yards and one touchdown. “I feel like I’m starting to come over the curve,” […]

Jimmy Graham's Injury Could Be Serious

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham's (thumb) injury is feared to be serious. Graham caught the first pass of the game for Green Bay for 13 yards, but he wasn't heard from again all night and left the game in the second quarter. He has just two catches for 27 yards in the last […]

Rangers Agree With Jeff Mathis

The Texas Rangers agreed on a two-year deal, pending a physical, with free-agent catcher Jeff Mathis on Thursday, according to sources. Mathis will be 36 years old next year and hit just .200 with a .544 OPS in 218 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks in 2018. His defense is his calling card, so he shouldn't […]

Mookie Betts Wins AL MVP

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was named the 2018 American League Most Valuable Player on Thursday. He helped the Red Sox win a franchise-record 108 regular season games and the World Series title by beating out Angels outfielder Mike Trout and Indians infielder Jose Ramirez. Betts led the majors with a .346 batting average, […]

Phil Dawson Back At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The limited practice means he should be able to play in Week 11 against the Raiders. The 43-year-old isn't a fantasy option, even in a good matchup, though. Dawson has made just four of six field-goal tries on […]

Chad Williams Remains Out

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. He hasn't played since Oct. 28 and is unlikely to return in Week 11 against the Raiders. Williams has been a non-factor this year in Arizona's putrid offense with only 11 grabs on 31 targets for 113 yards and […]

Jordy Nelson, Martavis Bryant Not Practicing

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) and Martavis Bryant (knee) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both players are unlikely to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. As a result, the tanking Raiders could be left with Brandon LaFell, Seth Roberts and Dwayne Harris as their top three wideouts. […]

Christian Yelich Wins NL MVP

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich was named the 2018 National League Most Valuable Player on Thursday. He led the team to an NL-best 96 wins and a trip to the playoffs for the first time since 2011 while beating out Cubs second baseman Javier Baez and Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado. Yelich hit .367 with […]

Antonio Gates Hasn't Practiced This Week

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates (knee) missed practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. It doesn't look good for Gates' status in Week 11 against the Broncos, but he could have a chance at playing if he practices on Friday. The 38-year-old has been a non-factor all year for fantasy […]

Keenan Allen, Mike Williams Added To Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hip, finger) and Mike Williams (groin) were both added to the Week 11 injury report and were limited in practice on Thursday. Both players aren't in serious danger of sitting out against Denver this Sunday, but they are worth monitoring. Allen will remain in play as a WR2, […]

Patrick Mahomes Listed On Injury Report

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (foot) is listed on the Week 11 injury report but is practicing in full on Thursday. Mahomes isn't in any danger of missing the Monday night showdown with the one-loss Rams, but it's something to keep an eye on as he nears the end of his first full season […]

D'Onta Foreman Not A Lock To Play This Year

Although Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) said he's "confident" he'll play again this year, head coach Bill O'Brien isn't so certain. "Can he carry the ball more than two times in a row without having to go get a drink of water?" O'Brien said. "What type of shape is he in?" Foreman hasn't […]

Jamison Crowder, Chris Thompson Miss Practice

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and running back Chris Thompson (ribs) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both players have missed multiple games this year, and Crowder has been out for well over a month with no sign of a return. With Paul Richardson […]

Matt Bryant Practices In Full

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) put in a full practice on Thursday. Barring any setbacks, it looks like Bryant will be back in action for the first time since he aggravated his hamstring on Oct. 14 this Sunday against the Cowboys. The ageless wonder has made all nine of his field-goal tries this year […]

Trevor Davis Activated From Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Trevor Davis (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he may help in the return game for the rest of the season. The 25-year-old has yet to play this year and has only eight receptions on 13 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in 27 games in […]

Taywan Taylor Sitting Out Again Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor (foot) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Taylor sat out in Week 10 and doesn't look close to returning after injuring himself in Week 9. He wasn't a fantasy factor to begin with and remains on the waiver wire. In his absence, Corey Davis […]

Joey Bosa Unsure If He'll Play In Week 11

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot), who returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, is unsure if he'll make his season debut in Week 11 against the Broncos. "It’s really not decided yet. We’re continuing with the plan, and that’s to practice this week. We’ll assess it and see how it feels on […]

Mike Wallace No Longer In Walking Boot

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) said he had his walking boot removed two days ago, but he isn't running yet. There remains no timetable for his return. Wallace broke his fibula earlier this year and is no lock to return to the Eagles. Even if he does, it's highly unlikely that he'll be […]

Dustin Hopkins Remains Absent Thursday

Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Head coach Jay Gruden said the big test will come on Friday, when Hopkins typically kicks. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Hopkins will play in Week 11 against the Texans, but we won't know until Friday. If he sits out, […]

Joe Mixon Limited In Practice Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after not being on the injury report on Wednesday. It's a little concerning after Mixon missed time with a knee sprain earlier this year, but he should be able to play in Week 11 in a big divisional matchup with the Ravens. […]

Joe Flacco, Lamar Jackson Out Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks Joe Flacco (hip) and rookie Lamar Jackson (illness) were both absent at practice on Thursday. Robert Griffin III was the only quarterback practicing. Flacco has missed two practices this week and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable for a big divisional matchup against the Bengals on Sunday. This could […]
