Robbie Ray Figures To Surface In Trade Talks

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray figures to be the player whose name comes up the most this week at the winter meetings. Zack Greinke remains a difficult player to trade because he's owed around $95 million over the next three years with a partial no-trade clause. Ray is projected to make $6.1 million in […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Feeling Better Monday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) "felt a lot better" on Monday after sitting out in Week 14 with a bruised quad. OBJ left a lot of fantasy owners out to dry in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but you may have him once […]

Ryan Tannehill Sore After Week 14 Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is "sore" but "he's walking around" after leaving the Week 14 game against the Patriots with an ankle injury. Tannehill may miss some practice time this week, but ultimately we'd expect him to play in Week 15 against the Vikings on the road. […]

Corey Clement Sprains Knee Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (knee) is believed to have suffered a knee sprain in the Week 14 loss to the Cowboys, according to a source. He will undergo an MRI exam Monday to confirm it, but the team is hoping it's not as bad as it looked. Knee sprains often sidelined players for […]

Doug Baldwin Doesn't Look Good For Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (groin), who will be a game-time decision on Monday night against the Vikings after not practicing at all this week, seems to be on the wrong side of questionable. One source said: “I wouldn’t think so, but you never know with Doug. I’m sure he will try.” If Baldwin […]

Tyreek Hill Says His Foot Is Bad

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) said his foot was bad after the Week 14 overtime win over the Ravens. “Our people did a tremendous job wrapping my foot,” Hill said. “I was still feeling my heel, but at the same time, I knew that man, if you want the W, if you […]

Billy Hamilton Agrees With Royals

Free-agent outfielder Billy Hamilton agreed to a deal worth close to $5 million with the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Hamilton has world-class speed but has trouble stealing first base (.299 on-base percentage last year) and has very little power with the stick. He does play All-Star defense in center field, though, and he should […]

Austin Ekeler Suffers Stinger In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler suffered another stinger in the Week 14 win over the Bengals and will require further testing, according to a source. A short week against the Chiefs on Thursday might make it tough for Ekeler to be ready. After disappointing as the lead back in Week 13, Ekeler bounced […]

Braves Eyeing Dallas Keuchel

The Atlanta Braves have free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel atop their wish list with the winter meetings starting on Monday. Atlanta is seeking a starter, a reliever and an outfielder. The left-hander doesn't strike out many, but his ground-ball profile would fit nicely in Atlanta's rotation. He won the American League Cy Young in 2015 […]

Padres Have Genuine Interest In J.T. Realmuto

The San Diego Padres are among the teams with genuine interest in trading for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, according to sources. Who doesn't? About half the league wouldn't mind trading for Realmuto, but the Marlins asking price is sky high for the best hitting catcher in baseball. Realmuto should be the first fantasy catcher […]

Giants Not Close To Trading Madison Bumgarner

The San Francisco Giants are not close to trading starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner with the winter meetings set to begin on Monday, according to a source. The Phillies, Brewers, Yankees and Braves are among the possible landing spots for Bumgarner if he winds up being traded. MadBum has a year left on his deal and […]

Yankees Plan To Meet With Manny Machado

The New York Yankees like free-agent shortstop Manny Machado and will meet with him, but a source says that they will not pay $300 million to secure his services. The Phillies, White Sox and maybe some mystery teams are seen as the main competitors to the Yankees for Machado. The 26-year-old lost some appeal to […]

Ben Roethlisberger Back In The Game Late

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (rib) has returned in the fourth quarter of the Week 14 game against the Raiders with the team trailing with just over five minutes left in the game. Big Ben took a big hit right before halftime and was being looked at when the second half […]

Bruce Ellington Injured Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions wide receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) left the game early in the second half in Week 14 against the Cardinals and is questionable to return. Ellington caught all four of his targets for just 17 yards before his injury. Ellington has seen a heavy dosage of targets ever since Marvin Jones landed on Injured […]

Ben Roethlisberger Dealing With Rib Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (rib) is dealing with a rib injury and is questionable to return for the second half in Week 14 against the Raiders. Big Ben took a hard shot just before halftime and is being checked out in the locker room. Roethlisberger was 18-for-22 for 164 yards and a touchdown in […]

Mets Unwilling To Trade Amed Rosario

The New York Mets are unwilling to trade shortstop Amed Rosario in a package for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, and they also do not want to include both outfielders Michael Conforto and Brandon Nimmo. The Marlins will be asking for a ton in exchange for the best hitting catcher in baseball and the Mets […]

Corey Clement Questionable To Return

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (knee) is questionable to return in Week 14 against the Cowboys after suffering an injury in the second quarter. Clement had only one carry for negative-four yards in the game before leaving, so he didn't help his fantasy owners at all. Darren Sproles will be more involved as a […]

Josh Johnson Will Start In Week 15

After looking impressive in relief of Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Sanchez in the blowout loss to the Giants in Week 14, head coach Jay Gruden said that Josh Johnson will start against the Jaguars in Week 15. Sanchez predictably was bad, going 6-for-14 for 38 yards and two interceptions before being benched. Johnson was 11-for-16 […]

Kyle Schwarber Not Available

Several teams that have inquired about Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber have been told that he's not available. Schwarber swings and misses a lot, but he also has a ton of power from the left side, hitting .238/.356/.467 with 26 home runs and 61 RBI in 137 games in 2018. Schwarber has 56 dingers in […]

Mets Losing Momentum In Trades

The New York Mets have lost momentum on potential trades involving starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard and Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. They are highly motivated to acquire Realmuto, but the Marlins high asking price has the Mets feeling less optimistic that a trade will get done heading into the winter meetings next week. Because almost […]

Michael Gallup, Tyron Smith Playing Sunday

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) and left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) are both active for Week 14 against the Eagles. Gallup missed practice on Friday but is fine to play in a big divisional matchup with Philly. He may be at less than 100 percent but has a great matchup and could […]

Doug Martin, Jordy Nelson Active Against Steelers

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receivers Jordy Nelson (foot) and Seth Roberts (concussion) are all active for Week 14 against the Steelers. Running back C.J. Anderson is a healthy scratch after just being signed earlier this week. Martin was expected to play but is more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in a […]

Chad Williams Won't Play In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (ankle, hamstring) is inactive for Week 14 against the Lions. Williams hasn't played since Oct. 28 and isn't really worth owning in most fantasy leagues even with Christian Kirk out for the rest of the year. Rookie Trent Sherfield and JJ Nelson will be in on three-receiver sets alongside […]

Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Active

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) are active in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Stafford is running out of playmakers on offense due to injuries and trades, so even in a good matchup he'll be a mediocre QB2 play this weekend. Ellington has an […]

Tyreek Hill, Spencer Ware Return In Second Half

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel) and running back Spencer Ware (shoulder) have both returned to the field in the second half in Week 14 against the Ravens. Owners of both Hill and Ware can breathe a sigh of relief to start the second half. It's great news for […]

Tyreek Hill, Spencer Ware Both Injured

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel) and running back Spencer Ware (shoulder) are both questionable to return in Week 14 against the Ravens after suffering injuries. Sammy Watkins is likely out for the rest of the regular season, so the Chiefs may be in serious trouble after Kareem Hunt was released for domestic violence […]

Quincy Enunwa Questionable To Return

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) injured his ankle just before halftime of the Week 14 game against the Bills and is questionable to return. Enunwa caught his only target for seven yards before departing. Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse will see more looks in the second half against Buffalo if Enunwa is […]

DeAndre Carter Won't Return Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Colts and will not return to the game. Carter had one catch for no gain before leaving the game. With Keke Coutee (hamstring) inactive, Sammie Coates will serve in three-receiver sets behind DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas for the rest […]

Isaiah Crowell Injured Against Bills

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) left the game early in Week 14 against the Bills with a foot injury. It could be an aggravation of the injury that made Crowell questionable for this game in the first place, but we'll have to see. He had only two carries for five yards and […]

Jordan Reed Exits With Injury

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (ankle) limped off with the medical staff in the first quarter of Week 14 against the Giants after having his ankle rolled up on during a run play. There is no word on whether he'll be able to return to the game, so consider him questionable, at best. Reed […]
