Astros, Mets Interested In Yasmani Grandal

The Houston Astros and New York Mets are among the teams interested in free-agent catcher Yasmani Grandal, according to a source. However, Grandal's qualifying offer is a potential barrier. Any team that signs Grandal this winter must fork over draft-pick compensation to the Dodgers. For the second straight year, Grandal's defensive shortcomings (along with a […]

Angels Showing Interest In Wilson Ramos

The Los Angeles Angels are among five teams that are interested in signing free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly. Ramos is a nine-year veteran who was an All-Star for the second time in his career in 2018, as he hit .306 with 15 […]

Vikings Claim Ameer Abdullah Off Waivers

The Minnesota Vikings claimed running back Ameer Abdullah off waivers from the Lions on Wednesday, according to a source. Abdullah is basically a forgotten man after he was active for just three games with Detroit this year, but he'll help boost Minnesota's running back depth with rookie Roc Thomas injured. Still, Abdullah will face long […]

Josh McCown To Start Against Bills

With New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) dealing with a foot sprain, veteran Josh McCown will get the start in Week 10 against the Bills, according to a source. Darnold will be re-evaluated after the Week 11 bye, but his status for Week 12 is "uncertain" for now. Consider Darnold week-to-week for now. […]

DeVante Parker On Week 10 Injury Report

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (knee) is on the Week 10 injury report but took part in a full practice on Wednesday. Tight end A.J. Derby (foot) also practiced in full after missing several weeks. Parker blew up for six catches and 134 yards two weeks ago, but he went back to being a […]

Chris Carson Won't Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (hip, thigh) will not practice on Wednesday. Carson injured himself in the first half of the Week 9 loss to the Chargers and never returned, putting his status up in the air for Week 10 against the Rams. Mike Davis and rookie Rashaad […]

Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa Not Practicing

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (ankle) and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) both did not practice on Wednesday. Both receivers returned to play in Week 9 and are likely just being rested early in the week after missing games with their injuries. The Jets will be forced to go with quarterback Josh McCown this week […]

Cardinals Interested In Andrew Miller

The St. Louis Cardinals are interested in free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Miller and are active on the reliever market, according to sources. Miller is coming off a down year in 2018 due to three separate disabled list stints with various injuries. However, he's one of the most dominant lefty relievers in baseball when he's right, […]

Royce Freeman Eyeing Week 11 Return

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said the team is looking to get rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) back after the Week 10 bye. Freeman suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 7 and was expected to miss several weeks, so he should be able to return against the Chargers following the bye, barring […]

A's Interested In Re-Signing Edwin Jackson

The Oakland Athletics are interested in re-signing starting pitcher Edwin Jackson, according to sources. Jackson went 6-3 with a 3.33 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6.7 K/9 in 17 starts for the A's last year and helped fill the rotation while Oakland dealt with injuries to their other pitchers. However, the 35-year-old doesn't miss many bats […]

Sean Lee Expected To Miss 4-6 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) is expected to miss four to six weeks after aggravating his left hamstring injury in the Monday night loss to the Titans, according to a source. Lee missed three games earlier this year with the same injury and has missed a total of 13 games in his career due […]

Phillies Interested In Craig Kimbrel

The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel, according to a source. The Braves and Cardinals are two other teams among the possible suitors for Kimbrel. Kimbrel will turn 31 next May, but he remains one of the most dominant closers in the game, posting a 2.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 13.9 K/9 […]

Phillies Still Interested In Manny Machado

Despite all of free-agent shortstop Manny Machado's shenanigans during the postseason with the Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies remain interested in signing him this winter. "If you're trying to find the young free agent who's good at everything and a prince in the clubhouse, you're going to be looking for a long time," general manager Matt […]

Ryan Tannehill Eyeing Week 12 Return

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will not play in Week 10 against the Packers, but the team will be on their bye next week and the goal is for Tannehill to return in Week 12 against the Colts. The Dolphins always expected Tannehill to play again this year, so […]

Mets Interested In Andrew Miller

The New York Mets are interested in free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Miller, according to a source. Miller pitched under Mets manager Mickey Callaway when he was the pitching coach for the Indians. The left-hander's value is down after he suffered multiple injuries in 2018 and threw just 34 innings with a 4.24 ERA and 1.38 […]

Dansby Swanson Has Surgery On Wrist

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (wrist) underwent left wrist surgery to have loose bodies in his wrist removed on Monday. He's expected to report to spring training without any restrictions and will likely be cleared to resume all baseball activities at some point in December. Swanson missed almost two weeks in May with a fatigued […]

Braves Interested In Trading For J.T. Realmuto

The Atlanta Braves are interested in trading for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto and are closely monitoring his market, according to sources. MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports that eight to 10 teams have checked in on the All-Star catcher. Atlanta used a platoon of Tyler Flowers and Kurt Suzuki last year behind the plate. If the […]

Sam Darnold Week-To-Week With Foot Sprain

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is dealing with a sprained foot and is week-to-week, according to a source. Darnold will not play in Week 10 against the Bills, but it might be a blessing in disguise, as he's been awful in the last three games and tossed four interceptions in an ugly […]

John Ross, Giovani Bernard Practicing Again Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) and running back Giovani Bernard (knee) both practiced for the second time this week on Wednesday. Ross looks to return in Week 10 against the Saints, while Bernard's status isn't as concrete. Ross hasn't played since Oct. 21 and has just seven catches on 16 targets for 79 […]

Geoff Swaim Limited In Practice

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) was practicing without pads on Wednesday. Swaim was diagnosed with a sprained MCL during the Week 8 bye and did not play on Monday night. There's still a chance he'll miss another game, meaning the Cowboys would be forced to mix and match again with Blake Jarwin, Rico […]

Sammy Watkins, Eric Berry Not Practicing

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) and safety Eric Berry (heel) are not practicing on Wednesday. Watkins is dealing with a painful foot injury that required an MRI exam, so he's looking very questionable for Week 9 against the Cardinals. If he were to sit, it'd open up more targets for Tyreek Hill, […]

Sam Darnold In Walking Boot

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) has a walking boot on his right foot and is not practicing on Wednesday. Darnold said he was "fine" on Monday after admitting after the Week 9 loss that he was "dinged up." That wouldn't seem to bode well for Darnold's chances of playing in Week 10 […]

Le'Veon Bell May Not Play This Year

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is contemplating whether to sign his franchise tag and return by the Nov. 13 franchise tag deadline, according to a source. He would be deemed as a third-year franchise player in 2019 rather than to revert to the second year, even if he doesn't report. It's looking more and […]

Leonard Fournette, Blake Bortles To Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), quarterback Blake Bortles (shoulder) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are all expected to practice on Wednesday. Fournette hasn't seen game action since Sept. 30, but he's expected to be back this weekend against the Colts. While the Jags are likely to ease him into a full workload, […]

Sammy Watkins Has MRI On Foot

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) had some pain in his foot after the Week 9 win over the Browns and underwent an MRI exam, according to a source. It's not a serious injury, but it could impact his status for Week 10 against the Cardinals as the team plans for the long […]

Darren Sproles Back At Practice, Expected To Play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday, and head coach Doug Pederson expects him to play in Week 10 against the Cowboys. Sproles hasn't seen the field since he was injured in the season opener, but he should return and at least be useful in passing situations behind Corey Clement […]

Jets Don't Think Sam Darnold Has Regressed

Despite New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold's recent struggles, the team doesn't feel like he has regressed since the beginning of the season. He has a 43.3 passer rating in the last three games and threw four interceptions in the Week 9 loss to the Dolphins. The Jets won't even consider benching Darnold in […]

Torrey Smith Ruled Out For Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Steelers. It'll be Smith's third straight missed game. The all-or-nothing veteran receiver belongs on the waiver wire. Rookie D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel will continue to benefit in the passing game. Moore has more upside as the team's No. […]

Ryan Tannehill Officially Out For Week 10

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will not play in Week 10 against the Packers. Tannehill is struggling in his rehab from a capsule injury to his right shoulder and is out indefinitely. The Dolphins expect him to return at some point this year, but fantasy owners shouldn't be holding out hope. Leave Tannehill to […]

Derek Anderson Not Cleared, Josh Allen To Be Limited

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Wednesday and won't practice, while rookie Josh Allen (elbow) will be limited in practice. Head coach Sean McDermott said they are taking the QB position a day at a time this week. There's a chance that Allen could return this weekend to […]
