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 […]

Chris Godwin Remains Sidelined Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) remained out of practice for the second straight day Thursday. It's not looking good for Godwin's availability in a nice matchup in Week 11 against the Giants. It's a shame, too, as Godwin is looking to improve on his seven-catch, 103-yard performance last Sunday. If he's forced […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Homers In Winter Ball

San Diego Padres infield prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. (thumb), who suffered an avulsion fracture in his left thumb in the minor leagues in July, hit a home run in his first at-bat in winter ball for Estrella in the Dominican Republic. The 19-year-old shortstop is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball […]

Jonathan Stewart Resumes Practicing

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) has resumed practicing, which means the Giants can activate him from Injured Reserve within the next 21 days. The 31-year-old averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on six attempts in three games before being injured earlier this year. If he does return for the stretch run, J-Stew […]

Sammy Watkins Will Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) will practice on Thursday. Watkins appears to be on track to return for the Monday night showdown against the Rams after being inactive in Week 10. In a game that is projected to be a shootout with the two best offenses […]

Shawn Kelley Wants To Keep Playing

Oakland Athletics free-agent relief pitcher Shawn Kelley has decided against retiring and wants to play a few more years, according to his agent, Mike McCann. The 34-year-old right-hander posted a nice 2.16 ERA in 19 outings with the A's after coming over on a waiver claim from the Nationals. Overall, Kelley had a 2.94 ERA, […]

A's Interested In Reunion With Kurt Suzuki

The Oakland Athletics are interested in signing free-agent catcher Kurt Suzuki, as their primary catcher in 2018, Jonathan Lucroy, is also a free agent. The 35-year-old Suzuki debuted with Oakland in 2007 and spent five seasons with them until being traded to the Nationals in 2012. He was an All-Star in 2014 with Minnesota and […]

Marvin Jones, Michael Roberts Miss Practice Again

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign for either player, but they could still play if they get in a practice on Friday. Jones' owners must formulate a backup plan just in case he […]

Matt Bryant To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) will kick in practice on Thursday. Bryant hasn't been active in a game since Oct. 14, but he's made all nine of his field goals and 16 of 17 extra points this year. When healthy, the 43-year-old is one of the better fantasy options. If he can't go again […]

Dalvin Cook Won't Be Limited

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said that running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a full-go heading into Week 11 against the Bears on Sunday night. Cook ran the ball 10 times for 89 yards and caught four passes for 20 yards in Week 9 and had the bye week to rest up further, so […]

K.J. Wright Doubtful For Thursday Night

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Packers. Wright wants to make sure he's 100 percent healthy for the stretch run of the season. He had arthroscopic knee surgery in the last week of August and missed the first six games of the season. Wright has played […]

Ty Montgomery's Playing Time Depends On Practice

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said how much running back Ty Montgomery plays in his team debut in Week 11 against the Bengals depends on what he shows in practice this week. Montgomery was a healthy scratch in Week 9 and the team was off in Week 10. “I’m very confident he could go […]

Eric Ebron Seeing Snap Count Plummet

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron is having an excellent season in his first year with the Colts, ranking first on the team in catches (39), yards (463) and touchdowns (10). His 10 touchdowns ties him for sixth among all players in the NFL. He caught two touchdowns and ran one in during the Week […]

Adrian Peterson Feels Refreshed

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, who has been bothered by ankle and shoulder injuries for the last few weeks, said he is feeling better than he has in quite some time this week. The Redskins have been limiting the veteran back in practices early in the week as a result. “I’m feeling good. Last […]

A.J. Green Not Practicing Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (toe) is not practicing on Thursday. Although head coach Marvin Lewis is holding out hope that Green can play in Week 11 against the Ravens, it seems like a long shot that Green will suit up. He could miss more time as well following this week. Until Green is […]

Torrey Smith Works On Side Wednesday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee), who officially did not practice on Wednesday, worked on the side for the first time in a month. It's progress for Smith, but he's still not expected to play in Week 11 against the Lions. In his absence, rookie D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel have seen more action, […]

Jacob deGrom Awarded Cy Young In NL

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was named the 2018 National League Cy Young on Wednesday, beating out Nationals ace Max Scherzer and Phillies starter Aaron Nola for the award. Due to poor run support and a bad bullpen, deGrom was only able to go 10-9 on the year, but he was so overwhelmingly […]

Blake Snell Named AL Cy Young Winner

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell was named the 2018 American League Cy Young winner on Wednesday. Snell beat out Astros starter Justin Verlander and Indians ace Corey Kluber for the award. The left-hander only threw 180 2/3 innings this year, with only Clayton Kershaw (198 1/3 innings) the only other starter to win […]

Alex Cora Receives One-Year Extension

The Boston Red Sox signed manager Alex Cora to a one-year contract extension through the 2021 season. The deal includes a team option for the 2022 season. Cora more than deserved it after leading the team to 108 wins in the regular season and a World Series title in his first year at the helm. […]

Panthers Claim Kenjon Barner Off Waivers

The Carolina Panthers claimed running back Kenjon Barner off waivers from the Patriots on Wednesday. Barner was drafted by Carolina in the sixth round of the 2013 draft, but he played just one season with them. He had 19 carries for 71 yards in five games for the Patriots this season. Barner will provide depth […]

Trey Quinn Activated From Injured Reserve

The Washington Redskins activated rookie wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed cornerback Joshua Holsey to the practice squad. Quinn was the last pick of this year's draft. He will provide depth to a receiving corps that is without Paul Richardson and Jamison Crowder. However, Quinn will be highly unlikely […]

Adam Thielen Limited Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (back, calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a little strange coming off the bye week, but Thielen is in no danger of sitting out in Week 11 against the Bears in a big divisional matchup. He has been one of the best all-around players in fantasy this […]

Stefon Diggs Puts In Full Practice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (rib) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback at practice this week, Diggs should return to face the Bears on Sunday night. He missed the Week 9 game but had the Week 10 bye to rest up. Even coming off a two-week hiatus, Diggs will be […]

Pirates Trade For Erik Gonzalez

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Erik Gonzalez and minor league pitchers Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza from the Indians on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff. With both Jordy Mercer and Josh Harrison likely to depart in free agency this winter, the Bucs need some added middle infield depth and […]

Indians Acquire Jordan Luplow, Max Moroff

The Cleveland Indians acquired outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Erik Gonzalez and minor league pitchers Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza. This trade doesn't move the needle all that much for fantasy or real life, but it gives the Tribe some more options for depth […]

Dolphins Sign Brice Butler

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler on Wednesday. In two games for the Cowboys this year, Butler missed his only target in the passing game. He had 15 catches on 24 targets for 317 yards and three touchdowns with Dallas in 2017 in 13 games. Butler will help with depth while Devante […]

Marvin Jones, Michael Roberts Out Of Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones has seen 15 targets in the two games since Golden Tate was traded, but it's translated to only nine catches for 121 yards and no touchdowns. He's shaping up as a risky WR2 if he's questionable […]

Taywan Taylor Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Taylor missed the Week 11 win over the Patriots and doesn't seem to be on track to return this weekend against the Colts. If he sits out for the second straight game, it'd be good news for Corey Davis and Tajae Sharpe. Taylor […]

Vernon Davis Added To Injury Report

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (ribs) was added to the Week 11 injury report, but he put in a full practice on Wednesday. Davis should play this Sunday against the Texans, but as long as Jordan Reed remains healthy, Davis has no business being anywhere near a fantasy roster. He has 15 catches on […]

Jamison Crowder, Dustin Hopkins Miss Practice

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Crowder hasn't played in well over a month and doesn't look close to returning at this point. Leave him on the waiver wire. Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris will continue to serve as the top two wideouts if […]
