D.J. Chark Out Of Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) missed practice on Wednesday. After sitting out in Week 12, it looks like Chark is set to miss another game. Chark is a fine stash in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he doesn't have any redraft value with just 14 catches on 30 targets for 174 yards on the […]

Josh McCown Limited Wednesday

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown (back, hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Rookie Sam Darnold (foot) also returned to a limited practice, but it seems likely that McCown will see at least one more start before Darnold is allowed to return to starting duties. The veteran journeyman went 26-for-45 for 276 yards, a […]

Tre'Quan Smith Will Play Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (foot) is a full go for Thursday night against the Cowboys and was taken off the final Week 13 injury report on Wednesday. Smith missed the Thanksgiving game last Thursday night but had a season high 10 catches on 13 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown […]

T.Y. Hilton, Eric Ebron, Mo Alie-Cox Miss Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (groin) and tight ends Eric Ebron (back) and Mo Alie-Cox (calf) missed practice on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Hilton and Ebron are actually in danger of missing Week 13 against the Jaguars. Alie-Cox sat out in Week 12 and might miss another game. Ebron is the […]

Curtis Samuel Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if this is an injury that will keep Samuel out in Week 13 in an excellent matchup against the Buccaneers. With Devin Funchess also questionable to play, it means that rookie D.J. Moore could see a heavy target […]

Sam Darnold Taking Part In QB Drills

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is taking part in QB drills on Wednesday for the first time since his injury. Darnold hasn't played since Nov. 4 and there remains no timetable for his return, but this looks like good progress. Don't expect Darnold to return in Week 13 against the Titans, but […]

DeSean Jackson Practicing With Brace

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is practicing on a limited basis and while wearing a small brace on his left thumb on Wednesday. It's a good sign that D-Jax will be able to play in Week 13 against the Panthers. However, he might be at far less than 100 percent and still […]

Joe Flacco Among Ravens Not Practicing Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and doesn't seem to be on track to face the Falcons in Week 13. Rookie Lamar Jackson has been inconsistent in his three starts in place of Flacco, but he offers way more upside in […]

Evan Engram Takes Part In Walkthrough, Cody Latimer Activated

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) took part in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday but officially did not practice. Wide receiver Cody Latimer (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and was activated from the Injured Reserve. Engram was active in Week 12 but didn't play at all after injuring himself during warmups. It's […]

Kerryon Johnson Not Seen At Practice

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) was not seen at the open portion of practice on Wednesday. Johnson sat out on Thanksgiving last Thursday, and he doesn't look to be trending in the right direction to play against the Rams in Week 13. That means that LeGarrette Blount, who had two scores last […]

Sammy Watkins Absent On Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. Watkins played sparingly in the Week 11 loss to the Rams on Monday night, catching only one pass for four yards, and it's not a good sign that he's not practicing yet coming off the bye week. However, Watkins would have WR3 […]

Mitch Trubisky Not Expected To Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said he does not expect quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) to practice on Wednesday. Trubisky didn't play on Thanksgiving last Thursday but is expected to return in Week 13 to face the Giants, but his week isn't off to a good start. As long as Trubisky returns in some capacity […]

Astros Interested In Nathan Eovaldi

The Houston Astros are showing interest in free-agent starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, according to sources. Eovaldi is a native of Texas and had a fine season in 2018 with the Rays and Red Sox, going 6-7 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and career-high 8.2 K/9 over 22 outings (21 starts). He was even more […]

Handful Of Teams Interested In Edwin Diaz

With the Seattle Mariners motivated to trade aging second baseman Robinson Cano and the five years and $120 million left on his deal, the Mariners are also exploring attaching All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to a deal, and plenty of teams are interested. The Mets, Yankees, Braves, Phillies and Red Sox are expressing the strongest interest […]

Jalen Ramsey Could Miss Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said there is a high level of concern that cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) won't be able to play in Week 13 against the Colts. One of the best cover corners in the NFL, it'd be a huge boost to Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and his top receiver T.Y. Hilton […]

Danny Amendola Not Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Amendola was hurt early in the Week 12 loss to the Colts and had just one catch for 13 yards in the contest. He looked to be in considerable pain and could be a long shot to play in Week 13 against the […]

Marlon Mack Still In Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that running back Marlon Mack (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol. Mack is shaping up to be very questionable for Week 13 against the Jaguars, and he'll need to practice either Thursday or Friday to have a shot at playing. If he can't make it, expect rookies […]

Leonard Fournette Loses Appeal, Out For Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette lost the appeal of his one-game suspension and will sit out in Week 13 against the Colts, according to a source. He was suspended following his Week 12 ejection for fighting with Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson. Although Fournette has five total touchdowns in his last three games, he's […]

No Practice For Devin Funchess

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Funchess is looking to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 13 against the Buccaneers after sitting out in Week 12. However, he could have WR2 upside if he plays against one of the worst defenses in the […]

A.J. Green Says He'll Play In Week 13

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (toe) was on the field for the walkthrough practice on Wednesday and said he will play in Week 13 against the Broncos. Green has been out since before Halloween, but it looks like he's ready to return this Sunday. With a long layoff and returning to quarterback Jeff Driskel […]

Alex Collins Not Expected To Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) isn't expected to practice on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day. It's looking like Gus Edwards, who has posted two straight 100-yard games, will continue to carry the load in the backfield in Week 13 against the Falcons in a good matchup. Collins cannot be trusted in fantasy lineups […]

Mets Discussing Gio Gonzalez

The New York Mets have discussed free-agent starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez if they wind up trading Noah Syndergaard. Gonzalez owns a career 1.75 ERA at Citi Field, but the left-hander was a disappointment in 2018 between the Nationals and Brewers, going 10-11 with a 4.21 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 across 32 starts. He […]

Erik Kratz Avoids Arbitration

The Milwaukee Brewers avoided arbitration with catcher Erik Kratz by agreeing to a one-year deal with him on Tuesday. Kratz will be 39 next June and hit .236/.280/.355 with just six home runs and 23 RBI in 67 games in a part-time role with the Brew Crew in 2018. He could once again be in […]

Ravens Plan To Start Lamar Jackson Against Falcons

The Baltimore Ravens are planning to start rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson in Week 13 against the Falcons, according to sources. Veteran Joe Flacco (hip) will need to get in a full week of practice to have a shot at playing this Sunday, and he has not been cleared as of Tuesday. Flacco could return to […]

Chris Archer Undergoes Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer (hernia) underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix a bilateral hernia. The recovery time for this procedure is six weeks, so he's expected to be on schedule for the start of spring training in 2019. Archer was mostly a disappointment in 2018 between the Rays and Pirates, going 6-8 with […]

Eric Berry Intends To Practice This Week

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) reported to the team's facility on Tuesday with the intent to practice this week, according to sources. However, it's still up in the air whether Berry will actually make his season debut in Week 13 against the Raiders. The veteran safety hasn't played at all this year and […]

Austin Riley Could See Outfield Work

The Atlanta Braves might give third base prospect Austin Riley some time in the outfield in spring training, although general manager Alex Anthopoulos still views Riley as a third baseman in the long term. Riley will be blocked at the hot corner in 2019 as long as newly acquired Josh Donaldson can stay healthy. Riley […]

Phillies Interested In Andrew Miller

The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Miller, according to two sources. The Phillies are basically connected with any attractive free agent this offseason and have plenty of money to spend. Miller had a down year due to injuries in 2018, but he is one of the most dominant lefty relievers in […]

Padres Unwilling To Part With Fernando Tatis Jr.

The San Diego Padres have told the Mets that infield prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. is untouchable in trade talks for starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, according to major league sources. The teams have also discussed catcher Austin Hedges. Tatis is the team's top prospect and No. 2 prospect in all of baseball. The 19-year-old suffered a […]

Mets Aggressive On Robinson Cano

The New York Mets are being "aggressive" in their pursuit of Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and are hoping the M's sweeten their offer, according to a rival executive in touch with the team. New York is trying to capitalize on Seattle's wish to unload Cano and the remaining $120 million owed to him […]
