Earl Thomas May Not Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas missed practice on Friday due to personal reasons, and head coach Pete Carroll wouldn't say if Thomas would be available for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Dallas and Seattle discussed a potential trade of Thomas all offseason, but Seattle's price was always too high. It's unclear if Thomas actually […]

Hector Velazquez Likely To Start Sunday

Boston Red Sox starter Hector Velazquez is likely to start on Sunday against the Indians. Velazquez has been pretty good this year with a 3.19 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 79 innings over 43 outings (seven starts). However, he hasn't been as effective as a starter (4.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, 6.7 K/9) as […]

Chris Sale Set To Go Five Innings Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale is scheduled to go five innings or 75 pitches against the Indians on Friday. Sale is slowly getting stretched out after coming off a left shoulder injury. Even with less than a full workload on Friday, Sale is a fine starting option against a team that doesn't really […]

Buck Showalter To Be Let Go

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter is expected to be dismissed by the team at the end of the season. General manager Dan Duquette is expected to receive a contract extension. The Orioles are far and away the worst team in baseball in 2018 and are in the middle of a full-on rebuild, so they will […]

James Paxton Hopes To Start Monday Or Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is throwing a full bullpen session on Friday and is hoping he can start either Monday or Tuesday against the A's. If Paxton goes on Monday, there's a chance he could make two starts two finish out what has been a fine season for him. However, the left-hander […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Could Be Activated Monday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw a successful simulated game in Florida on Friday and will rejoin the team. The earliest he will be activated from the disabled list will be on Monday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. McCullers hasn't pitched in the big leagues since Aug. 4, so he'll pitch out […]

Carlos Correa To Miss Rest Of Homestand

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) will be shut down for the rest of the homestand due to lingering back soreness. He will accompany the team on the road trip and will resume playing then, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Since returning from his initial back injury on Aug. 10, Correa is hitting just .174/.257/.223 […]

Tanner Roark's Next Start Undecided

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark, who has been away from the team the last four days to be with his pregnant wife, still does not know if he will make the start on Saturday against the Mets. It'd surely be a good matchup for those owners still looking to stream this late in the […]

Adam Eaton Out With Knee Issues

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) has been out of the lineup of late because of an aching left knee. With the Nationals not making the playoffs, there's no reason to push Eaton the rest of the way. Instead, the team will likely want to get a look at outfield prospect Victor Robles, who is […]

Alex Cobb Feeling Better

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) said the blister on his finger is feeling much better, and he'll throw a light bullpen session on Friday. Cobb is optimistic that he can make another start before the end of the season. The blister issue has limited Cobb of late, but he's been fantastic in the […]

Victor Martinez To Play In Final Game Saturday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will play in the final game of his career this Saturday. He will not be in the lineup on Sunday. He will travel with the team on their road trip to close out the year next week but will not play. It's been an illustrious career for V-Mart, but […]

Mark Barron Doubtful For Week 3

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Chargers. Barron has yet to play this year but will attempt to make it back in time for Week 4. Without him in the middle it makes the Rams weak, but they more than make […]

Richard Sherman Will Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) practiced in full on Friday and is no longer on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Chiefs. It's good news, as the team might be without safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) against a high-flying Chiefs offense this Sunday.

Jaquiski Tartt Questionable For Sunday

San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 3 against the Chiefs. Tartt is relevant in IDP leagues, but you may need to find another option this weekend. After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, it's a good sign that he was able to at least […]

Spencer Ware Questionable Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee) was limited in practice and is questionable for Week 3 against the 49ers. It's a new injury for Ware, so he might not be able to suit up on Sunday as Kareem Hunt's main backup. If Ware cannot play, expect Damien Williams and rookie Darrel Williams to […]

Christian Kirk Taken Off Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk (back) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 3 against the Bears. Kirk was involved in a minor car accident on Thursday and didn't practice. He should be fine for this weekend. The rookie had plenty of hype coming into […]

Marvin Jones, Darius Slay, Ezekiel Ansah Questionable

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle), cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday night. Jones wasn't listed on the injury report until Friday, so it's a bit concerning. He should be started if […]

Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright Ruled Out

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Neither comes as much of a surprise. Baldwin may still need a few more weeks before he's ready to return, but he should remain stashed everywhere as the team's top wideout when […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Not On Injury Report

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) both practiced in full and are not on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday night. Gronk and Michel are totally fine and will be active for what could be a blowup game for the […]

Josh Gordon Questionable Against Lions

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday night. Gordon might miss what would be his debut with the team. His hamstring injury isn't considered very serious, but the Patriots might be cautious with him, especially since he […]

Trey Flowers, Patrick Chung Doubtful To Play

New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) and safety Patrick Chung (concussion) did not practice all week and are doubtful for Week 3 against the Lions. They are notable absences for Sunday Night Football, and it'll make life easier on Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his receivers in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Jacob Hollister Out In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Jacob Hollister (chest) didn't practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Lions. Hollister isn't anywhere close to being on the fantasy radar. Rob Gronkowski is the overall No. 1 fantasy tight end again this week and should bounce back from a poor performance in […]

Marshawn Lynch Not On Final Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited in practice all week but has been taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the Dolphins. Lynch will likely be limited in practice throughout the year. The veteran has scored a touchdown in both weeks of the season so far and will look […]

Ted Ginn Expected To Play

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is expected to play in Week 3 against the Falcons. Ginn wasn't actually on the final injury report, so he will be active. Ginn will typically be a disappointment to his fantasy owners if he doesn't find the end zone, […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Not On Injury Report

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, hamstring, thumb) and Will Fuller (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Friday and were taken off the Week 3 injury report against the Giants. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back), tight end Ryan Griffin (hip), linebacker Whitney Mercilus (shoulder) and defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) all practiced in […]

David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert Not Practicing

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) did not practice on Friday. It means that both offensive linemen are in danger of missing the Week 3 game on Monday night against the Buccaneers. That would make things a bit tougher on running back James Conner as he continues to […]

Sammie Coates, Keke Coutee Questionable Against Giants

Houston Texans wide receivers Sammie Coates (hamstring) and Keke Coutee (hamstring) are both questionable for Week 3 against the Giants. Coates lost most of his fantasy intrigue in the deepest of leagues when Will Fuller returned in Week 2. Neither Coates nor Coutee should be owned in most single-year fantasy leagues.

Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley Ruled Out

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Saints. Freeman remains week-to-week and didn't practice all this week. Tevin Coleman will remain the leader of this backfield in the meantime and is an RB2 play in a good matchup. Rookie Ito […]

Paul Richardson, Zach Brown Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder), receiver Maurice Harris (concussion) and linebacker Zach Brown (oblique) are all questionable for Week 3 against the Packers. Richardson and Brown were limited in practice on Friday, while Harris practiced in full. Richardson should be able to play but hasn't made much noise in the first two […]

Travis Benjamin, Antonio Gates Questionable

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) and tight end Antonio Gates (illness) are both questionable for Week 3 against the Rams. Benjamin didn't play last week and caught just one of his five targets in Week 1. He's a boom-or-bust deep threat with a bad matchup if he plays. Stay away from him. […]
