Mike Napoli Retires Saturday

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli announced on Twitter on Saturday that he is retiring from baseball. His best season in the big leagues came with the Red Sox in 2011 when he hit .320 with a .631 slugging percentage, 30 home runs and 75 RBI. He'll finish his 12-year career with a .246/.346/.475 slash […]

Rashaad Penny Listed As Questionable

Despite practicing all week, Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Vikings. Penny must have injured himself in practice on Saturday. Penny has been impressive here and there in his rookie season, but mostly when Chris Carson has been on the shelf. Carson will be […]

Doug Baldwin To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) will be a game-time decision on Monday night against the Vikings. Offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) have been ruled out. Baldwin didn't practice all week, so his fantasy owners should be very concerned. He's pretty much not […]

Michael Gallup Expected To Play Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Eagles despite sitting out of practice with an illness on Friday. Gallup should be fine but may not be feeling 100 percent in a very important divisional matchup against Philadelphia. He's hard to trust regardless as a WR4/5 […]

Chad Williams Questionable For Week 14

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is now questionable for Week 14 against the Lions. Williams has missed the last four games with an ankle injury and should obviously not be trusted at all in fantasy lineups. With rookie Christian Kirk on Injured Reserve, Larry […]

D'Onta Foreman Could Be Inactive Sunday

The Houston Chronicle's John McClain thinks that Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles), who was just activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list this week, will be inactive in Week 14 against the Colts. Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue have been averaging 172 rushing yards over the last six games. Foreman will basically […]

Trae Waynes Ruled Out For Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday night against the Seahawks. Waynes' absence will make Minnesota's secondary a little weaker, which is good news for Seattle receivers Tyler Lockett and David Moore. Marcus Sherels should fill in with Wayne out on Monday.

Yadier Molina To Have Knee Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (knee) will have surgery on his knee next week, but his agent, Melvin Roman, described the procedure as "a simple thing" to help clean out the knee. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said it will be a "very small procedure" and that Molina should only be out a […]

Trevor Cahill Attracting Interest From Handful Of Teams

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Cahill is drawing interest from "four or five" teams after going 7-4 with a 3.76 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over 21 outings (20 starts) for the A's last season. The right-hander has been injury-prone, which keeps his value somewhat limited in mixed leagues, but Cahill can be quite underrated […]

White Sox Interested In Marwin Gonzalez

The Chicago White Sox are believed to be interested in free-agent infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez. While Gonzalez wasn't as good in 2018 as he was in 2017, he still managed 16 home runs and 68 RBI in 489 at-bats and offers fantasy owners with a variety of positions to play him at. The switch-hitter will be […]

Terron Armstead Ruled Out This Weekend

New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead (pectoral) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Armstead will look to return in Week 15 as the team's starting left tackle. Jermon Bushrod will continue to fill in on quarterback Drew Brees' blind side this Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Eric Berry Questionable For Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 14 against the Ravens. Berry hasn't played all season but looks to be on track to make his season debut this Sunday. While the veteran will likely have his snaps limited if he sees the field, his […]

Chris Carson On Track To Play Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (finger) returned to a full practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Carson was expected to play Monday night against the Vikings despite dislocating his index finger in Week 13. He'll remain the lead back in a touch matchup against Minnesota's stout run defense, where he'll be more […]

Doug Baldwin Out Again Friday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. Baldwin is in danger of missing the important Monday night game against the Vikings unless he gets in a practice on Saturday. The veteran wideout has been battling through injuries for much of the year, and his production has […]

Michael Gallup, Tyron Smith Questionable

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) and left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) are both listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Eagles, but they are both expected to play. Gallup missed practice and was added to the injury report on Friday. Smith was limited and is expected back after missing the last […]

Pierre Garcon Won't Play Against Broncos

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Broncos after missing practice the last two days. Garcon hasn't played since Nov. 1 and has just one touchdown on the season. He's limping to the finish line and should be on most waiver wires. Marquise Goodwin, […]

DeSean Jackson Ruled Out Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) was officially ruled out for Week 14 against the Saints on Friday. He didn't take part in practice all week and is in danger of missing the rest of the season. Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries continue to benefit from Jackson's injury and are basically must-starts in […]

Darron Lee Suspended For Rest Of Season

New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee has been suspended by the league for the remaining four games of the season without pay for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. The former first-rounder was having a great season with 74 tackles, three interceptions (one for a touchdown) and five passes defensed. His loss will hurt New York's […]

Joe Flacco Questionable In Week 14

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Chiefs. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and was declining before that. Rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson has been much better with Flacco out and hasn't lost while replacing the veteran. Even if Flacco is active, his ceiling would be mixing […]

Melvin Gordon Officially Ruled Out

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bengals. Gordon is nursing a sprained knee and might even struggle to be cleared for next Thursday's game against the Chiefs. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson will continue to hold down the fort as long as […]

Stephen Gilmore Questionable For Week 14

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (ankle) was added to the injury report on Friday and got in a limited practice. He's listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Dolphins. Late-week injury additions often don't play, but we'll have to see if Gilmore is active on Sunday. If he's out, it'll be an upgrade […]

Kerryon Johnson Officially Ruled Out

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Cardinals after not practicing at all this week. It'll be Johnson's third straight missed game. LeGarrette Blount has seen 35 carries in the last two weeks and will continue to be the backfield workhorse in a good […]

Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Questionable

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receivers Bruce Ellington (back) and Brandon Powell (calf) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 14 against the Cardinals. Everyone in this group should be able to suit up, barring some sort of setback. Stafford's ceiling is […]

Doug Martin, Seth Roberts Listed As Questionable

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers. Martin should be good to go for this game, but he could lose work to Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington. Martin is a touchdown-dependent RB3 that could suffer in negative game […]

Pierre Garcon Misses Practice Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday after he was limited on Wednesday. Garcon was limited in practice all last week before being inactive, and he hasn't played since Nov. 1. We'd be surprised if he's active in Week 14 against the Broncos, which would […]

Reds Not Close To Extension For Scooter Gennett

The Cincinnati Reds and second baseman Scooter Gennett haven't made any progress in contract-extension talks after starting discussions in July. "I wouldn't expect it before the calendar turns [to 2019]," president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. "There's too much up in the air in terms of roster construction going forward. I don't think you'll […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson, who had missed two practices this week due to the death of his grandmother, returned to the team on Friday and should play in Week 14 against the Panthers. Johnson had a measly two touches last week against the Texans and three total touches the week prior, so the […]

Nationals Owner Essentially Rules Out Re-Signing Bryce Harper

Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner virtually ruled out the team re-signing outfielder Bryce Harper on Friday. The Nats offered Harper a 10-year, $300 million deal on the last day of the regular season and are unlikely to make another offer after he rejected it for a shot at the free-agent market. "Well, when we met […]

Mitch Trubisky Taken Off Final Injury Report

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full all week and has been taken off the final injury report for Week 14 against the Rams. Trubisky will return on Sunday night after missing the last two games. This was the expectation all along, and Trubisky will have QB1 upside in a game that could […]

Matt Bryant Questionable For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Bryant should be able to play against the Packers this week in a favorable matchup after being limited in practice this week. He'll be an acceptable low-end fantasy kicker if he's active. If he sits out of this one, […]
