Marcus Mariota Takes Majority Of Reps Thursday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) was better on Thursday and took most of the practice repetitions over Blaine Gabbert. Mariota was active in Week 2 but didn't play at all. He's dealing with a nerve issue in his elbow that has caused numbness in his hand and fingers, […]

Christian Kirk Held Out Of Practice After Car Accident

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk was held out of practice on Thursday as a precaution after he was rear-ended on the freeway on Wednesday. Kirk said he is fine. Fantasy owners had high hopes for Kirk in his rookie season in an offense looking for playmakers beyond Larry Fitzgerald, but so far nobody has […]

Wilmer Flores Done For The Year

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) will be shut down for the rest of the year after being diagnosed with early-onset arthritis in both of his knees. Manager Mickey Callaway is unsure what this will mean for Flores' future. It can't be a good sign for the 27-year-old. Flores was a part-time player for […]

No Practice For Jason-Pierre Paul

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice on Thursday. JPP missed a practice last week, too, but he wound up playing against the Eagles and recorded five tackles and a sack. His presence on the defensive line is paramount as Tampa attempts to get consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback. Slowing […]

Chris Godwin Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (toe) was limited in practice on Thursday. Godwin should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night. He was talked up all preseason and training camp as a starter, but he remains third behind Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson. Godwin has eight catches […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick On Week 3 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee) was on the Week 3 injury report against the Steelers but practiced in full on Thursday. Aside from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Fitzpatrick has been the best quarterback in the NFL through two weeks. He has gone 48-for-61 for 819 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception. Fitz should […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Cook's hamstring cramps didn't seem to be a big issue leading into this week, it's now looking like he may be kept out in a very winnable game against the Bills […]

Alshon Jeffery Doubtful For Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but he's highly doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Colts. The Eagles are targeting Week 4 or 5 for Jeffery's season debut. Keep him stashed everywhere. The good news is that he has made a […]

Patrick Chung, Trey Flowers Still Not Practicing

New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung (concussion) and defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both are looking unlikely to play on Sunday night against the Lions in Week 3, which would be good news for Lions quarterback Matthews Stafford and the rest of the offense as […]

Rob Gronkowski Added To Injury Report

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday as an addition to the Week 3 injury report against the Lions. Gronk should be fine to play on Sunday night against the Lions and should remain as the top fantasy tight end in play this weekend. Start him with confidence.

Ted Ginn Says He'll Play In Week 3

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee), who missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, said he will play in Week 3 against the Falcons. Mid-week downgrades are never a good thing, but this appears to be a precaution. Ginn has been the second target behind Michael Thomas in the Saints offense, […]

Michael Fulmer Expected To Be Ready For Spring Training

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (knee) underwent successful surgery to fix a meniscus tear in his right knee on Thursday, and he's expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2019. Fulmer was a big disappointment for fantasy owners this year, going 3-12 with a 4.69 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7.5 […]

Rangers, Jeff Banister May Part Ways After Season

The Texas Rangers are considering parting ways with manager Jeff Banister at the end of the season even though he is under contract for 2019, according to multiple sources. However, no final decision has been made as the Rangers look to rebuild. Texas will finish with a losing record for the second straight season, but […]

Chad Kuhl Has Tommy John Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery. That means Kuhl will miss the entire 2019 season. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old. He was 5-5 on the year with a 4.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and career-high 8.6 K/9 over 16 starts. Kuhl was shut down in June.

Liam Hendriks To Serve As Opener Friday

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Liam Hendriks will serve as the opener on Friday against the Twins. Hendriks has taken to the role of late, but he won't be fantasy relevant in just an inning or two of work at the most. The right-hander has a 5.30 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 18 K's in 18 2/3 […]

Trevor Cahill To Start Sunday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) is scheduled to return from his injury and start on Sunday against the Twins. Cahill has been good for the A's this year, posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over 19 starts. He hasn't made a start since Sept. 9, though, so he may not […]

A's Hope Sean Manaea Can Pitch In 2019

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said the team is holding out hope that starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) can return at some point in 2019. Manaea had surgery on Wednesday to fix an impingement and a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He was having a very solid year before his injury, going 12-9 with […]

Taylor Lewan Practices In Full

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Barring any late-week setbacks, Lewan should return after missing just one game. It'll be a big boost to whoever is under center in a very tough matchup against the Jaguars in Week 3.

Sean Lee Expects To Play In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) said he was able to do more in practice on Thursday and expects to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee has just four tackles through two weeks, but he's typically a tackling machine and is the heart and soul of Dallas' linebacking corps. He'll be a strong […]

Andy Dalton Praises Tyler Boyd

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said that wide receiver Tyler Boyd is "so good." "He understands running routes. He’s versatile. You can move him around. He’s had a lot of production in the slot and we’ve been able to move him around too.” Boyd has nine catches on 14 targets for 117 yards and a […]

Kelvin Benjamin Returns To Full Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (hip) practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Benjamin never seemed to be in danger of missing Week 3 against the Vikings. The team's No. 1 wideout has just three catches on 10 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown through two weeks. Buffalo's offense has […]

Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley All Out Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf), running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. The surprising and unsettling one here is Jones, but he said on Thursday that he's good and is missing practice as a precaution. The veteran wideout has […]

Giovani Bernard Returns To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Bernard will be fine for Week 3 against the Panthers, where he'll be the lead back with Joe Mixon (knee) out two to four weeks. Rookie Mark Walton will help Bernard shoulder the load, but Bernard […]

Seahawks Offense Remains Unbalanced

The Seattle Seahawks are winless after two weeks and have thrown the ball 69 times compared to just 38 rushing attempts, a total that ranks 29th in the league. Running backs Chris Carson and rookie Rashaad Penny have combined for just 33 carries. Head coach Pete Carroll blamed himself and his impatience. Seattle is averaging […]

Larry Fitzgerald Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was working in practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Fitzgerald will play in Week 3 against the Bears. However, he'll need to be downgraded to more of a WR3 with the offense struggling under quarterback Sam Bradford through two weeks. Chicago's defense is clearly on […]

Anthony Castonzo Still Out

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Castonzo suffered a setback last week and looks unlikely to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Eagles. Indy's offense is pretty beat up right now, and it's not good news that quarterback Andrew Luck probably won't […]

Case Keenum Back On The Field

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) is back on the practice field on Thursday after being held out as a precaution on Wednesday with knee soreness. Keenum should be fine to play in Week 3, but he'll be facing a tough Baltimore defense on the road. The veteran led a nice fourth-quarter comeback to beat […]

LeSean McCoy's Ex-Girlfriend Still Pursuing Case

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy's ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon is certain that McCoy was involved in a July 10 home invasion in which an unknown assailant injured her. She will offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the intruder at a home that was owned by McCoy outside of Atlanta. Sources […]

Julio Jones Says He's Good

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he's good and that he was out for precautionary reasons. That's what we were expecting. Jones said he felt some tightness in the Week 2 loss to the Panthers, but he will be out there in Week 3 against the Saints in […]

Vita Vea Back On The Practice Field

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf), the team's first-round pick, is back in pads at practice on Thursday for the first time since his injury. Vea is unlikely to return in Week 3 on Monday against the Steelers, but it's a good sign that he's progressing toward making his NFL debut. His […]
