Erick Fedde Bulking Up

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde has gained around 15 pounds in the offseason and is trying to add seven more pounds as he attempts to pitch deeper into games in 2019. Fedde went 2-4 with a 5.54 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 46 punchouts in 50 1/3 innings over 11 big league starts in 2018. […]

Carter Kieboom To Focus On Second Base

Washington Nationals shortstop prospect Carter Kieboom said he will focus more on second base work in the offseason, given that he has more experience at shortstop. The last time he played the keystone regularly was when he was a small kid. Kieboom is the team's No. 2 prospect and could see his major league debut […]

Sean Doolittle Says Foot Injury Is Behind Him

Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) is confident that his foot injury is behind him and has new inserts for his cleats. Doolittle missed most of the second half with a stress reaction in his foot, but he was lights-out when he was healthy. The left-hander posted a 1.60 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, 25 saves and […]

Yankees Not Looking To Trade Gary Sanchez

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that catcher Gary Sanchez isn't going anywhere. After he hit .278 with 33 homers and 90 RBI in 2017, Sanchez was among the biggest fantasy busts in 2018, slashing .186/.291/.406 with 18 home runs and 53 RBI in just 89 games due to injury. Despite the down […]

A.J. Pollock Looking For Five-Year Deal

Free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock is attracting plenty of interest and is looking for something close to the five years and $80 million deal that Lorenzo Cain got with the Brewers last year. Pollock has an attractive blend of power and speed in center field, but he's injury-prone and hasn't played more than 113 games in […]

Mets Discussing Corey Kluber

The New York Mets have spoken to the Cleveland Indians about trading for starting pitcher Corey Kluber, according to sources. Kluber is a perennial Cy Young candidate and has a history with Mets manager Mickey Callaway when Callaway was the pitching coach in Cleveland. While Kluber will be 33 next April, he managed to go […]

Aqib Talib Is Active

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle), who was taken off Injured Reserve this week, is active in Week 13 against the Lions. Talib will play but could have his snaps limited, as he hasn't played since late September. Talib's return, however, is bad news for Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay and quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Stefon Diggs Now A Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs' knee swelled up overnight and will now need to test it out before the game to determine if he can play in Week 13 against the Patriots, according to a league source. Diggs is now back to being extremely questionable after being expected to play late in the week. […]

Randall Cobb, David Bakhtiari Active

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are both active in Week 13 against the Cardinals. Cobb returns with the Packers currently out of playoff contention. He has done next to nothing since the season opener and may be phased out of three-receiver sets with rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling […]

Chad Williams Out Against Packers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (ankle) is out for Week 13 against the Packers. Williams has been out since Oct. 28 and has only 11 catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in eight games on the season. He's off the fantasy radar. JJ Nelson should be in on three-receiver sets on Sunday alongside […]

Bruce Ellington Will Play In Week 13

Detroit Lions wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) is active for Week 13 against the Rams. Ellington is a true sleeper in deeper leagues and DFS formats in a game in which the Lions are likely to be trailing for most of the day. Ellington quietly has 16 targets in the last two games and could […]

J.J. Watt Is Playing Against Browns

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) is active for Week 13 against the Browns. Watt was expected to play all along and will be a must-start for IDP owners. The All-Pro pass rusher had a season-high nine tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble last week and will be looking to disrupt rookie quarterback […]

Keke Coutee Inactive Against Cleveland

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) is inactive for Week 13 against the Browns. Tight end Ryan Griffin and receiver Vyncint Smith are healthy scratches. Coutee just hasn't been able to get past a hamstring injury that has bothered him all year. While he has upside out of the slot in this offense, […]

Jalen Ramsey Will Play In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) is active in Week 13 against the Colts. Ramsey is one of the best shutdown corners in the league, but he'll likely be playing at less than 100 percent. Still, it's a slight downgrade to Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, who will probably be covered by Ramsey for most […]

D.J. Chark Out Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) missed practice all week and is out in Week 13 against the Colts. Chark only has 14 catches for 174 yards in his rookie season and hasn't been a factor in redraft leagues. He's only a stash candidate in dynasty formats. In his absence, Keelan Cole could […]

Marlon Mack, Chester Rogers Active

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (concussion), wide receiver Chester Rogers (groin) and tight end Erik Swoope (knee) are all active for Week 13 against the Jaguars. Mack was always expected to play after practicing this week. As the team's clear lead back, he'll be an RB2 this Sunday. Rogers last scored on Oct. 14 […]

Charles Clay Returns In Week 13

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) is active in Week 13 against the Dolphins. Quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) is out, while receivers Ray-Ray McCloud and tight end Logan Thomas are healthy scratches. Clay hasn't played since Nov. 4 and has just 19 catches on the year for 169 yards and no touchdowns, so he's […]

Devin Funchess Playing Against Tampa

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) is active for Week 13 against the Buccaneers. Funchess is expected to play limited snaps in his return, so he's a risky WR4/flex, even against one of the league's worst defenses. Rookie D.J. Moore should be the primary receiver and has a lot of upside on Sunday, as […]

Joe Flacco Inactive In Week 13

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is inactive for Week 13 against the Falcons. It's expected after he was designated as doubtful to play. Rookie Lamar Jackson will get another start and has QB1 upside due to his scrambling ability in a fine matchup. If Jackson leads Baltimore to another win, the coaching staff will […]

Gus Edwards Active Against Falcons

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (ankle) is active in Week 13 against the Falcons. Edwards will once again be the team's primary back after posting back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground the last two weeks. In a pristine matchup and with Alex Collins on Injured Reserve, Edwards has RB2 upside. Ty Montgomery should continue […]

Marvin Lewis' Future In Doubt

The status of Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis heading into the 2019 season is in doubt. The Bengals aren't committed to Lewis beyond this season, as he's believed to have signed a one-year deal with an option for the 2019 season last year. Lewis could move to the front office and have Hue Jackson […]

Andy Dalton To Return To Cincy In 2019

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb), whose season has ended, is expected to return to the team in 2019, as sources say his thumb surgery won't affect his future with the club. Dalton finished the 2018 season with 2,566 yards, a 61.9 completion percentage, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions on 365 pass attempts. The Bengals […]

Bears Hoping Mitch Trubisky Returns Next Week

The Chicago Bears are hopeful that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) will return to face the Rams in Week 14. Trubisky will miss another game in Week 13 against the Giants, with Chase Daniel making his second straight start. Daniel is a low-end QB2 for those desperate in two-QB leagues. Trubisky has improved in his second […]

Josh Adams On Track For Monday Night

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Josh Adams (hip) is on track to play on Monday night against the Redskins despite tweaking his hip in practice on Saturday. Adams is listed as questionable to play, but you can leave him in your lineups as the team's expected lead ball carrier with RB2 upside. Corey Clement, Wendell […]

Melvin Gordon Could Return In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee), who is out in Week 13, could return as early as Week 14 against the Bengals, according to sources. "It won't be long now," one source said. The Chargers consider Gordon week-to-week and they think he'll "at least be ready for the K.C. game" in Week 15. […]

Kareem Hunt Faces More Than Six-Game Suspension

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is facing more than the baseline six-game suspension for violation of the league's personal-conduct policy, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation. The NFL is also investigating an incident involving Hunt allegedly punching a man in the face at an Ohio resort in June, and they are believed […]

Xavier Rhodes A Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 13 against the Patriots, will work out before the game to determine whether he can play, according to a source. Rhodes was able to practice late this week and is expected to give it a go. If he's active, he'll likely be covering Patriots […]

Jets Planning To Start Josh McCown Against Titans

The New York Jets are fully committed to making sure rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is 100 percent healthy when he returns, so sources are saying that the team plans to start Josh McCown again in Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold may do some work in pregame activities, but McCown is the likely starter. […]

Marlon Mack Expected To Play Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (concussion), who is questionable for Week 13 against the Jaguars, is expected to play, according to a source. Mack was able to practice this week, so he was expected to suit up, barring a setback. He has become the team's unquestioned lead back and has RB2 appeal against Jacksonville […]

Kareem Hunt Facing Six-Game Suspension For Next Year

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is expected to face a six-game suspension heading into the 2019 season. The NFL continues to investigate Hunt's incident in February of this year in which he was seen shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel. He's on the commissioner's exempt list and is currently on waivers. The […]
