Marcus Mariota Will Start In Week 4

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) will start in Week 4 against the Eagles, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Backup Blaine Gabbert (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 3 and may have to sit out this weekend. Newly-signed quarterback Austin Davis may be the backup this Sunday. Mariota has a passer rating of 53.9 […]

Jack Doyle, Anthony Castonzo Sit Out Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) both did not practice on Wednesday. Both players were inactive in Week 3, and it's not looking good so far for their chances of playing this weekend. With tight end Eric Ebron (knee, shoulder) also sidelined Wednesday, quarterback Andrew Luck could be […]

Charles Clay Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (hip, shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday. Clay should be fine to play in Week 4 against the Packers, but he's not a realistic starting option for fantasy owners after just four catches on eight targets for 47 yards in three weeks. There might be more upside with rookie […]

Matt Breida Won't Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Breida will need to get in at least limited practices the rest of the week to have a shot at playing in Week 4 against the Chargers. If he isn't able to play, Alfred Morris should […]

Giovani Bernard Limited Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (thigh) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Also limited were left tackle Cordy Glenn (knee), slot cornerback Darqueze Dennard (calf) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (groin). With Joe Mixon (knee) working his way back but expected to miss at least another week, Bernard should once again lead the backfield in […]

Alvin Kamara Limited In Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Kamara's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but it's something to watch as the week progresses. The RB1 had 16 carries for 66 yards and a whopping 15 receptions for 124 yards in Week 3. He hasn't found the end […]

Rams Place Aqib Talib On IR

The Los Angeles Rams placed cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted cornerback Dominique Hatfield to the active roster in a corresponding move. Talib will now be out for at least the next eight weeks. It's a big blow to what was a strong secondary. Marcus Peters (calf) may also miss […]

Olivier Vernon Limited On Wednesday

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's the first practice for Vernon during the regular season, and a good sign that he is progressing from his high ankle sprain. It's not a lock that he will return this weekend, but he could if he makes more progress […]

Jonathan Stewart, Eli Apple, Damon Harrison Miss Practice

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot), wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee), cornerback Eli Apple (groin) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (knee) all missed practice on Wednesday. It's not a good sign to start the week, but they could have a chance at playing this Sunday if they return to practice in the next […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Missing Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) missed practice again on Wednesday. The Eagles continue to play it slow with both running backs, and their weeks aren't off to a great start if they hope to play against the Titans in Week 4. If they are both inactive again this Sunday, […]

Luis Castillo Won't Start Friday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo has been shut down for the season and will not make his final start on Friday. He is completely healthy, but the team just felt he had enough innings on the year. The right-hander was a disappointment in the first half but bounced back to finish 10-12 with a […]

Didi Gregorius Cleared For Baseball Activities

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (wrist) has been cleared to resume baseball activities. It's excellent news after Gregorius suffered ligament damage in his wrist during a slide at home plate last Saturday. A cortisone shot this week seems to have done the trick, and Gregorius could see some action to close out the regular […]

Devon Travis Not Expected To Play Again This Year

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (knee, hamstring) will undergo an MRI exam on his left knee after he's been dealing with knee and hamstring soreness. He's not expected to play again this year, but the injury isn't believed to be serious. Despite playing a career-high 103 games in 2018, Travis managed to disappoint […]

Dallas Keuchel To Go 2-4 Innings Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel will start against the Orioles on Saturday but will only go between two and four innings. Framber Valdez will likely pitch in relief after Keuchel. It'll be Keuchel's final regular season start and will be a tune-up for the postseason. It's a great matchup, but don't expect Keuchel to […]

Charlie Morton Could Start Sunday

The Houston Astros are hoping that starting pitcher Charlie Morton (shoulder) will be able to start the regular season finale on Sunday against the Orioles. Morton and his wife are awaiting their newborn child in Houston. Josh James will also be available to pitch on Sunday if he's needed. Morton left his last start early […]

Julio Jones Not Practicing Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf) was not seen at practice on Wednesday. Jones missed several practices last week as a precaution but still played in the Week 3 win over the Panthers. The veteran wideout will often be rested during the practice week, as he often battles through nagging injuries but still plays. […]

Mike Nugent Put On IR

The Oakland Raiders placed kicker Mike Nugent (hip) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. He'll be out for at least the next eight weeks of the season. In his place, Oakland signed undrafted free-agent kicker Matt McCrane to handle the kicking duties moving forward. Oakland's kicking situation needs to be avoided by fantasy owners.

Larry Fitzgerald Limited Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was doing individual drills without his helmet in practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals continue to limit the veteran in practice, but he should be able to play in Week 4 against the Seahawks. Fitz had a disappointing two catches on two targets for just nine yards in Week […]

Tyrod Taylor Still Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was not back at practice on Wednesday. If he's not cleared in time for Week 4 against the Raiders, the Browns will go with Drew Stanton as the backup to rookie Baker Mayfield. Taylor has lost the starting job to the exciting Mayfield after the rookie led a second-half […]

Jimmy Graham Not At Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (undisclosed) did not practice on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury. It's an ominous sign, but we'd like to get more information on his status before jumping to conclusions. While Graham has still yet to find the end zone in his first season with Green Bay, he does […]

A.J. Green, Joe Mixon Work Off To The Side

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (groin) and running back Joe Mixon (knee) were both off to the side working with the rehab group in practice on Wednesday. The team is optimistic that Green will suit up in Week 4 in an attackable matchup against a beat up Falcons secondary. If he plays, he'll be […]

No Practice For Ezekiel Ansah Wednesday

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Ansah has missed the team's last two games, and he isn't off to a good start this week. The oft-injured defensive lineman is Detroit's main source for a pass rush, so their defense could be in trouble if he continues to sit out. […]

Trey Flowers, Patrick Chung Return To Practice

New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) and safety Patrick Chung (concussion) both returned to practice on Wednesday. It's a great sign for their availability in Week 4 against the Dolphins after they both were inactive in the Sunday night loss to the Lions where their absences were clearly felt. If both defenders were […]

Dansby Swanson Returns To Atlanta

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand, wrist) returned to Atlanta on Wednesday to be examined by head team physician Dr. Gary Lourie. Swanson injured himself on a swing on Tuesday, and the Braves are concerned it could be a significant injury like a similar one that kept him out for around two weeks earlier this […]

Hayden Hurst Back On Practice Field

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot), who hasn't played yet this year after having foot surgery last month, returned to practice on Wednesday. It doesn't mean that Hurst will make his NFL debut in Week 4 against the Steelers, but it's progress nonetheless. Fellow rookie Mark Andrews has stood out as the most […]

LeSean McCoy To Be Limited

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. McCoy sat out of the Week 3 win against the Vikings, and he could be questionable yet again in Week 4 against the Packers. McCoy hasn't done much for his fantasy owners behind a bad […]

Eduardo Nunez To Return To Action This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter on Friday and will play third base on Sunday. Nunez has been out since Sept. 19, but the Red Sox want to get him back in there before the playoffs start next week. Nunez hasn't been as good this year as he […]

C.J. Mosley Says He's Day-To-Day

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) said he feels better than last week and considers himself "day-to-day" with a knee bruise. Mosley practiced once last week before being inactive in Week 3 against the Broncos. His return would be a big boost to an already strong Ravens defensive unit. They could really use the boost […]

Carlos Correa Back In Lineup Wednesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is serving as the designated hitter and batting third on Wednesday against Blue Jays starter Sean Reid-Foley. Correa has been out for a week with lingering back issues. Since his return from the disabled list on Aug. 10, Correa has hit just .174 with a home run and 13 […]

Chance Sisco Could Return This Weekend

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter is hoping that catcher Chance Sisco (concussion) can return from the concussion protocol this weekend. Sisco has been a disaster at the plate in 63 games for the Orioles this year, hitting .181/.288/.269 with two homers and 16 RBI. He won't be of much help to fantasy owners if he […]
