Yankees Doing Background Work On Manny Machado

The New York Yankees are doing "extensive" background work on free-agent shortstop Manny Machado. The Yankees were originally lukewarm on pursuing Machado after his playoff shenanigans this year, but they may have changed their tune already. Machado will command a huge contract but is easily one of the best young players both offensively and defensively […]

Jamison Crowder To Undergo MRI

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) will undergo an MRI exam to make sure "all is on track." "He's not quite 100 percent coming in and out of his cuts. I don't think he's totally comfortable with it. Hopefully by Thursday he has a chance," Gruden said. Crowder […]

Julian Edelman's Injury Not Serious

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman's (ankle) injury is not considered serious and he's not expected to miss much time, if any, according to a source. Edelman rewarded his fantasy owners with nine catches on a season-high 12 targets for 104 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Titans. He left in the […]

Brandon Linder Heading To IR

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that center Brandon Linder (knee) is going to Injured Reserve and will have season-ending surgery. An already weakened Jags offensive line gets even worse as they lose one of the NFL's most productive centers. It's bad news for running back Leonard Fournette and the […]

Denzel Perryman Done For The Year

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman (knee, hamstring) injured his LCL in the Week 10 win over the Raiders and likely needs hamstring surgery as well, according to sources. He will now miss the rest of the season, but he should be recovered in three to four months. It's a big blow to a Chargers […]

Panthers Waive C.J. Anderson

The Carolina Panthers waived running back C.J. Anderson on Monday. Anderson just wasn't being used much behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey, as he was averaging just six snaps per game. McCaffrey has played 96.3 percent of the offensive snaps in nine games, which is more than any running back in the league. Anderson had only 24 […]

Broncos Expect Royce Freeman, DaeSean Hamilton Back

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said that the team should get running back Royce Freeman (ankle), wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee), safety Darian Stewart (neck) and cornerback Bradley Roby (ankle) back in Week 11 against the Chargers. Freeman missed the previous two games with a high ankle sprain. He'll continue to split the workload […]

Ravens Not Committing To Joe Flacco In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh isn't committing to quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) for Week 11 against the Bengals. "He's getting treatment. We'll see. We'll know more as the week goes on. I'm hopefully all of our guys play, including Joe," Harbaugh said. It's a bit surprising with the Ravens coming off their bye week, but […]

Bengals Fire Defensive Coordinator

The Cincinnati Bengals fired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin on Monday, according to a source. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that head coach Marvin Lewis will take over the defensive play-calling duties moving forward. It was Austin's first year with Cincy. The Bengals allowed 51 points to the Saints on Sunday, which was the most points allowed […]

Brandon Linder To Miss Time

Jacksonville Jaguars center Brandon Linder (knee) suffered a knee injury in Week 10 that will keep him out in Week 11 and possibly beyond, according to sources. Linder is undergoing tests on Monday that will hopefully give us a better timetable for his return. He is one of the more effective centers in the league, […]

Matt Dayes Being Added To Active Roster

The San Francisco 49ers will promote running back Matt Dayes from the practice squad to the active roster before the Monday night game against the Giants, according to a source. With Raheem Mostert (forearm) on Injured Reserve, Dayes will serve as the third back behind Matt Breida and Alfred Morris. Dayes can be ignored in […]

Matt Milano In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (concussion) is in the concussion protocol after leaving the Week 10 game early against the Jets. In 10 games this year, Milano has been a key contributor to an underrated Buffalo defense. The 24-year-old has 61 tackles, one sack, three fumble recoveries and two interceptions. The good news is the […]

Bills Still Have Confidence In Nathan Peterman

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he remains confident in quarterback Nathan Peterman. Peterman was passed over for Matt Barkley in the Week 10 blowout win over the Jets. Barkley threw for 232 yards and two touchdowns. With rookie Josh Allen (elbow) potentially returning to the starting gig after the Week 11 bye, both […]

Jakeem Grant Avoids Serious Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant (Achilles) did not suffer a torn Achilles in Week 10 as was originally feared, according to a source. Grant could miss some time, but this doesn't appear to be a long-term injury. He missed his only target in the blowout loss to the Packers and hasn't been much of […]

Ronald Darby Has Torn ACL

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Sunday night loss to the Cowboys and is done for the rest of the season, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Darby was the team's best remaining cornerback, so this is a big blow to a secondary that had already been struggling for […]

Josh Adams To See More Carries

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Josh Adams will see more carries moving forward, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles are looking for a spark in their underwhelming three-headed monster of a committee, and it looks like Adams will be the one to own in fantasy down the stretch. He had only seven attempts […]

Todd Bowles Not Expected To Be Fired In Season

The New York Jets are not expected to make a decision on head coach Todd Bowles until after the season, according to sources. The Jets got embarrassed by the Bills in Week 10, losing 41-10 at home, so Bowles is firmly on the hot seat. Whether the team's brass thinks he can successfully develop rookie […]

Sam Darnold Up In The Air For Week 12

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said it's too early to tell if quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) will be ready to face the Patriots after the Week 11 bye. However, Bowles has confirmed that Darnold is out of his walking boot. Darnold should be considered week-to-week for now, but hopefully he'll make enough progress […]

Rashaad Penny Blows Up Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny had by far his best game of the season in Week 10 against the Rams, rushing 12 times for 108 yards and the first touchdown of his career. In the first eight games, Penny had 146 yards on 42 carries (3.5 yards per carry). With Chris Carson out […]

Sammy Watkins Should Play In Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) has a pretty good chance of playing in Week 11 against the Rams on Monday night. Watkins was rested in Week 10 but should go back to being startable in most fantasy leagues next Monday in what should be a shootout against […]

Chandler Catanzaro Released By Tampa

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Monday, according to sources. Catanzaro made 11 of his 15 field-goal tries and 23 of his 27 extra-point attempts this year. He missed two of his three tries in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins and was let go as a result. Whoever Tampa brings […]

Bucs Sticking With Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in Week 11 against the Giants. Fitzpatrick went 29-for-41 for 406 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins, but Tampa still thinks he gives them a better chance at winning than Jameis Winston. Against the […]

Marvin Jones Considered Day-To-Day

Tests showed that Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones' (knee) ACL and MCL are intact, but he did suffer a bone bruise in Week 10 and is considered day-to-day, according to a source. Jones has underwhelmed in the two games since Golden Tate was traded, catching nine passes on 15 targets for 121 yards. His […]

Randall Cobb Still Struggling With Hamstring

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) is still battling the same hamstring injury that caused him to miss multiple games earlier this year, and he was downgraded to a limited practice on Thursday. There's a chance Cobb could be a game-time decision this Sunday. Even if he does play, Cobb has basically become […]

Le'Veon Bell Is In Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is in Pittsburgh, but it's still unknown if he plans to report to the team by the deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 13. The team wants Bell back very badly, but we'll have to wait and see if Bell wants to play for the rest of the season. We'd like […]

Jamison Crowder Has A Chance To Play In Week 10

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Crowder has missed the team's last four games and hasn't played since Oct. 8 against the Saints. Even before his injury Crowder had been a bust for fantasy owners, catching 13 of his 19 targets for 134 […]

Eagles Expect Darren Sproles Back This Year

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson believes that running back Darren Sproles (hamstring), who had a setback this week in practice, will come back this year. The 35-year-old missed most of last year with an injury as well, and he hasn't played since Week 1 this year. While it looks like Sproles will avoid Injured […]

Chris Thompson Ruled Out Against Bucs

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Thompson has now missed three of the last four games and isn't a must-hold in fantasy leagues if you need help at other positions. Kapri Bibbs will once again work as the passing back behind Adrian Peterson. He […]

Carlos Zambrano Interested In Comeback

Free-agent pitcher Carlos Zambrano, now 37 years old, is currently pitching for Navegantes del Magallanes in the Venezuelan winter league and has aspirations of pitching in the major leagues again. He is currently 0-2 with a 10.95 ERA in 12 1/3 innings. The right-hander has lost 30 pounds and is in much better shape than […]

Trey Quinn Looking To Return From IR

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) is back at practice and is eligible to return from Injured Reserve next Monday at the earliest. The seventh-round rookie was hurt in the only game he played in this year, but it's worth noting since the Redskins thin receiving corps recently lost Paul Richardson for the season. […]
