Mets Making Progress In Deal For Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz

There is significant momentum toward a deal that would send Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to the New York Mets, according to league sources. A deal is not done yet, but the expectation is that the trade will get finished. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic is reporting that two […]

Danny Amendola Still Absent Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's looking unlikely that Amendola will suit up and play in Week 13 against the Bills. If he doesn't play, it'll mean more work for Devante Parker, Kenny Stills and Leonte Carroo, although none of them are […]

Tyron Smith Looking Unlikely For Thursday

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (elbow, neck) is looking unlikely to play on Thursday night against the Saints, as a source says "it's not looking good." Smith is listed as questionable and is a game-time decision. Cameron Fleming will start on quarterback Dak Prescott's blind side if Smith is unable to play. Not having […]

Byron Jones Not Expected To Shadow Michael Thomas

Dallas Cowboys top cornerback Byron Jones isn't expected to follow Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas around on Thursday night. That's good news for both Thomas and quarterback Drew Brees, as opposing quarterbacks' passer rating while throwing at Jones this year is just 67.4.

Curtis Samuel Practicing Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) is practicing on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Samuel should be fine to play in Week 13 against the Buccaneers. He has scored in three of the last four games and will be a sneaky DFS pick in a great matchup if Devin Funchess misses his second […]

D.J. Chark Unlikely To Play Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) will miss his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Chark didn't play last week and looks likely to sit out in Week 13 against the Colts as well. He hasn't done much in his rookie season in a run-first offense and should only be stashed in […]

Jalen Ramsey To Return To Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) is expected to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Head coach Doug Marrone had a high level of concern surrounding Ramsey's status for Week 13 against the Colts, but he now has a chance to play this Sunday. That'll be a downgrade for both quarterback […]

Darren Sproles To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) will get some work in practice on Thursday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener and is unlikely to have much of a role behind rookie Josh Adams and Corey Clement even if he's active on Monday night against the Redskins. Sproles […]

Sam Darnold Hopeful To Return In Week 13

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is hopeful that he can return to play in Week 13 against the Titans after taking part in positional drills on Wednesday for the first time since straining his right foot in Week 9. “Coming back after today and actually practicing on it, being on it today […]

Evan Engram Unlikely To Face Bears

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, making it unlikely he'll suit up in Week 13 against the Bears. Engram tweaked his hamstring in pregame warmups last week. He was active but didn't play a single snap. Plan to be without him this […]

Devin Funchess Returning To Practice Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) is set to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Funchess didn't practice at all last week and sat out in Week 12, but it looks like he has a chance to return in Week 13 in an excellent matchup against the Buccaneers. Funchess would […]

Bears To Hold Mitch Trubisky Out For Second Straight Week

The Chicago Bears plan to rest quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) for the second straight game in Week 13 against the Giants despite the fact that he was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to sources. Trubisky could play right now, but the team wants to play it safe. Chase Daniel will get his second straight […]

Franmil Reyes To Have Surgery Thursday

Updating a previous report, San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes (knee) will have surgery on Thursday to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee. His expected recovery time will be between four and eight weeks, so he should be ready in time for spring training. Reyes had an 11-game hitting streak going in the […]

Franmil Reyes To Have Knee Examined

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes (knee) returned to San Diego to have his right knee examined after an injury that has sidelined him for more than a week during the Dominican winter league. The 23-year-old was hitting an impressive .444/.510/.689 with three home runs, six RBI and 11 strikeouts to six walks in 13 […]

Blue Jays Could Trade Russell Martin

The Toronto Blue Jays have discussed trading catcher Russell Martin, according to league sources. Toronto will likely have to eat much of the remaining money on Martin's final year of his deal, as he hit a measly .194/.338/.325 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI in 289 at-bats in 2018. Martin will be 36 years […]

Pirates Have Discussed Trading Francisco Cervelli

The Pittsburgh Pirates have discussed trading catcher Francisco Cervelli, according to league sources. Even with a decent amount of catching available in the offseason, Cervelli will be attractive to teams because of his high on-base percentage and makeup behind the dish. He hit .259/.378/.431 with a career-high 12 home runs and 57 RBI in 104 […]

Kenneth Dixon Could Enter Mix In Week 13

With Baltimore Ravens running backs Gus Edwards (ankle) and Alex Collins (foot) both up in the air for Week 13 against the Falcons and with Javorius Allen getting very little playing time, the Ravens could activate Kenneth Dixon (knee) off Injured Reserve for this weekend. Dixon has been on IR all year, but this is […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Limited Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Breida has been hampered by injuries all year but continues to play. He has actually looked more fresh in recent weeks than earlier this year, though, and he's gone over 100 yards on the […]

Marquise Goodwin Still Away From Team

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) did not practice on Wednesday and remains away from the team after missing Week 12 due to personal reasons. Goodwin remains up in the air for Week 13 against the Seahawks, making him very risky for fantasy purposes. If he misses his second straight game, Kendrick Bourne […]

J.D. McKissic Activated From Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks activated running back J.D. McKissic (foot) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. McKissic hasn't played at all this year after fracturing a bone on the outside of his foot in the preseason. His fracture was a Jones fracture. He had 453 combined yards in 2017 but will be buried on the depth chart […]

Keke Coutee At Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday after tweaking his hamstring in the Monday night win over the Titans. Coutee had two catches for just 14 yards on Monday. It's the third time this year he's dealt with a hamstring setback, and he's no lock to play in […]

Eagles Still Using Running-Back-By-Committee

Philadelphia Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley said that running back Josh Adams is still part of a running-back-by-committee approach. “It’s still a running back by committee ... It’s all about the hot hand," Staley said. While Corey Clement has been involved, Adams continues to see his role increase in recent weeks, and he saw […]

Tajae Sharpe On Week 13 Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (ankle) is on the Week 13 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. Sharpe doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Week 13 against the Jets. He wasn't targeted a single time in Monday night's loss to the Texans, though, and is in danger of losing […]

Taywan Taylor Practicing In Full

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor (foot) practiced in full on Wednesday. Taylor hasn't played since injuring himself on Monday night against the Cowboys on Nov. 5, but he appears on track to return in Week 13 against the Jets. Taylor has 21 catches for 214 yards and a touchdown this year and isn't on […]

Colts Sign Clive Walford

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent tight end Clive Walford on Wednesday with Jack Doyle going on Injured Reserve, according to a source. Eric Ebron, Mo Alie-Cox and Erik Swoope are all banged up, so Walford will give the team some depth and insurance. Walford hasn't played at all in 2018 and had just nine catches […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Limited In Practice

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Brown was injured on Sunday night and didn't finish out the game. If Randall Cobb remains sidelined in Week 13 against the Cardinals, St. Brown will once again be used in three-receiver sets with the team's season on the […]

Calvin Ridley Puts In Limited Practice

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle, elbow) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Ridley played in Week 12 and had a season-high eight catches on 13 targets for 93 yards and his eighth touchdown of the season. He's having an incredible rookie year as the No. 2 behind Julio Jones, although he could […]

Gus Edwards Misses Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. With Alex Collins (foot) day-to-day, Edwards is expected to be fine for Week 13 against the Falcons and should remain the lead back. Against a Falcons team that bleeds fantasy points to opposing running backs, Edwards has RB2 upside. He has back-to-back 100-yard […]

Patrick Corbin Meets With Nationals

Free-agent starting pitcher Patrick Corbin met with the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The most sought after free-agent starter is making the rounds and is highly coveted by most teams this winter. The left-hander was a fantasy ace in 2018 by going 11-7 with a 3.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 246 strikeouts in 33 starts. Washington's […]

Rob Gronkowski Off Injury Report

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) practiced in full on Wednesday and was taken off the Week 13 injury report. Gronk returned off the bye in Week 12 to catch three passes for 56 yards and his second touchdown of the season. Against Minnesota this weekend, Gronkowski will remain an elite TE1.
