Taijuan Walker To Begin Throwing Program Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (elbow) will begin his throwing program on Monday and will start playing catch at 45 feet. Walker made three starts this year before undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. He might have a shot to be ready in the early months of next season, but he probably won't be […]

Greg Zuerlein Out 3-6 Weeks

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will be sidelined for three to six weeks. It's a blow to the Rams special teams unit, as Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the league. Sam Ficken was signed to replace him this week. Zuerlein owners can cut bait and […]

Mark Barron Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said linebacker Mark Barron (Achilles) is unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Chargers. The middle of the Rams defense remains somewhat of a weakness with Barron out, but their defense/special teams remains a strong fantasy unit moving forward, even against the Chargers this weekend.

Aaron Rodgers Concerned He'll Make Knee Worse

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is concerned that his left knee could worsen if he continues to play on it. He played with a brace on his knee in Week 2 against the Vikings and made it through the whole game, but he admitted that his knee "obviously won't be 100 percent, so […]

Connor Sadzeck To Serve As Opener Friday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Connor Sadzeck will serve as the opener on Friday against the Mariners, with Ariel Jurado following him. Sadzeck hasn't allowed a run while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings in eight outings (one start) for the Rangers this year, but he isn't on the fantasy radar in an opening role. […]

Chance Sisco Won't Go On Road Trip

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (concussion) will not travel with the team unless he's cleared from the concussion protocol. With Baltimore having nothing to play for, it doesn't make sense for them to rush their young catcher back. Sisco is hitting just .181/.288/.269 with two home runs and 16 RBI in 160 at-bats for Baltimore […]

Chris Davis Has Stiff Neck

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (neck) is out of the starting lineup with a stiff neck on Wednesday. It doesn't sound lIke Davis' injury will keep him out for long, so consider the power hitter day-to-day. He continues to be a massive disappointment, hitting an embarrassing .171/.246/.302 with only 16 […]

Austin Romine Available Off Bench

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine (neck) was unavailable on Tuesday after he woke up with stiffness in his neck. However, he's feeling better on Wednesday and is expected to be available off the bench. Romine was a decent fill-in for Gary Sanchez when he was injured earlier this year, and he has hit .248/.302/.430 […]

James Paxton, Felix Hernandez To Throw Bullpens On Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitchers James Paxton (illness) and Felix Hernandez (hamstring) will both rejoin the team and throw bullpen sessions on Friday before manager Scott Servais decides whether they'll start in the final week of the season. Paxton would like to get to two more starts to push his innings up to around 160 for […]

Cardinals Work Out Kendall Wright

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said the team worked out free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright, but the team will not sign him. The Cardinals haven't been happy with the production from their receivers behind Larry Fitzgerald, but the whole offense has been dreadful so far and has produced just six points in two weeks. […]

Patriots Add Corey Coleman To Practice Squad

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Corey Coleman to their practice squad on Wednesday after releasing him. Coleman has been tossed around like a rag doll on the NFL transaction list so far this year after proving to be a first-round bust in Cleveland. He is well off the fantasy radar.

Tommylee Lewis Placed On Injured Reserve

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Tommylee Lewis (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he injured his knee in Week 2 against the Browns. Lewis didn't have any catches in the two games this season. He wasn't a fantasy factor to begin with.

Darius Slay Misses Practice, Ezekiel Ansah Limited

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday, while defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) was limited. If Slay, the team's best defensive back, can't play in Week 3, it'd be a big upgrade for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Chris Hogan. Ansah sat out last weekend and is the team's […]

Everson Griffen Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Griffen had a career-high 13 sacks in 2017 and has a full sack through two weeks in 2018. It's unknown if he'll be in danger of missing Week 3 against the Bills, but if he does, it'll be good news for rookie quarterback […]

ArDarius Stewart Waived By Jets

The New York Jets waived wide receiver Ardarius Stewart on Wednesday. Stewart is coming off a two-game suspension. The third-round pick in 2017 had five catches and 41 yards in the preseason and brought down six catches for 82 yards in 15 games last season. He can continue being avoided in fantasy and might struggle […]

Ted Ginn Limited In Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Receiver Tommylee Lewis (knee) did not practice. Ginn should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Falcons. The 33-year-old has nine catches on 13 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown through the first two weeks of the season. […]

Alex Collins, C.J. Mosley Miss Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (illness) and linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Broncos, where he'll be more of an RB3/flex type. He's averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on 16 attempts through two weeks and has lost a lot […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Limited

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, thumb), Will Fuller (hamstring), Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring), tight end Ryan Griffin (hip) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Both Hopkins and Fuller should be fine to play in a strong Week 3 matchup against the Giants and […]

Chad Kuhl Undergoes Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (elbow) underwent elbow surgery on Wednesday. It's unknown what the exact surgery is that Kuhl had, so stay tuned for details of the surgery and how long the right-hander might have to miss. Kuhl hadn't started since late June and had a 4.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 81 strikeouts […]

Addison Reed To Go On Paternity List

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Addison Reed will go on the paternity list to finish this week and will not travel west with the team after Wednesday's game. He'll have until Sept. 25 to return to the team for the final homestand of the season. Reed has struggled this year to a 4.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP […]

Josh Rogers Done For The Year

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Josh Rogers is being shut down for the rest of the season, according to manager Buck Showalter. Rogers struggled in his first three big league starts, posting an 8.49 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with just six strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings. However, the left-hander has promise at this level and should […]

Shane Bieber Moving To Bullpen?

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona hinted that starting pitcher Shane Bieber could be moving to the bullpen to close out the season. "We think that he's not being 'relegated' to the bullpen. He'd be going there to help us win," Francona said. Bieber will come out of the bullpen after Trevor Bauer pitches an inning […]

Jose Abreu Released From Hospital

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (thigh) was released from the hospital on Wednesday but will be out for the team's current series that finishes up on Thursday. Abreu was dealing with an infection on his thigh, but he could be available to play as soon as Friday. If he's back in the starting […]

Welington Castillo Scratched With Elbow Soreness

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo (elbow) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday due to left elbow soreness. Kevan Smith will replace him behind the dish and hit seventh against Indians starter Carlos Carrasco. Smith isn't much of a hitter and should be avoided in DFS formats in a bad matchup. It's […]

Ryan Braun Dealing With Back Issues

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (back) is dealing with back issues and is not in the lineup again on Wednesday. With Lorenzo Cain also out, Curtis Granderson will play left field and lead off against Reds starter Matt Harvey. Domingo Santana is in right field and is hitting fifth. Both Granderson and Santana are worth […]

Derrick Henry, Taylor Lewan Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (back), offensive tackles Taylor Lewan (concussion) and Jack Conklin (knee) and tight end Luke Stocker (calf) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Henry has disappointed with just 2.9 yards per carry on 28 attempts through two weeks, and he has just one reception. With the offensive line still banged […]

Josh Gordon Limited In First Patriots Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday in his first practice with his new team. Gordon should be able to play in Week 3 on Sunday night against the Lions, but how much can fantasy owners really expect from him? It's hard to say, and it all depends on how […]

Dalvin Cook Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday and said he's taking it "day by day." Cook dealt with hamstring cramps in overtime in Week 2, but it's not believed to be something that will keep him out in Week 3 in a cushy matchup against the Bills. […]

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) did not get in a practice on Wednesday. The Packers will probably take it easy on Rodgers as he fights through a knee injury early in the season. Don't be surprised if he doesn't practice again until Saturday. We fully expect him to suit up again, though, and […]

Browns Ready For Antonio Callaway To Step Up

The Cleveland Browns are counting on rookie Antonio Callaway to step up as the X receiver after the team traded Josh Gordon to the Patriots this week. He showcased his ability in Week 2 with a 47-yard touchdown catch against the Saints. “He is making strides,” head coach Hue Jackson said Tuesday as the Browns […]
