Nelson Cruz Not Playing Sunday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz (illness) is feeling under the weather and is not playing on Sunday. Daniel Vogelbach will step in as the DH and will hit sixth against Angels starter Jaime Barria. Cruz should be fine in a day or two. Make sure to remove him from your daily lineups. Vogelbach is […]

Luis Ortiz Unlikely To Return Soon

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that starting pitcher Luis Ortiz (hamstring) is unlikely to be available anytime soon. Ortiz will have an MRI exam on Monday or Tuesday. The right-hander was injured covering a base in his first ever major league start over the weekend. He doesn't need to be owned in any fantasy […]

Trevor Cahill To Throw Tuesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) played catch on Sunday after receiving a trigger-point injection last week. He has been feeling better, according to manager Bob Melvin. Cahill will throw off a mound on Tuesday and then the team will have a better idea of when he can start. A return during the series […]

Tommy La Stella Scratched Sunday

Chicago Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday after dealing with lower back pain after taking pre-game ground balls. David Bote replaced La Stella at the hot corner. La Stella has been an effective utility man for the Cubbies this year, hitting .270 with only one homer and […]

Jason Heyward Activated From DL

The Chicago Cubs activated outfielder Jason Heyward (hamstring) from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday. Heyward isn't in the lineup on Sunday and may play sparingly to end the season as the team looks to get him back to full health for a potential playoff run. Heyward has hit .275/.342/.399 with seven home runs and […]

Kyle Schwarber May Not Travel With Team

The Chicago Cubs and their doctors are checking outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) to see if he will be available to fly with the team on their road trip to Arizona. Schwarber is hitting just .239/.356/.471 on the season, but he does have 25 home runs and 58 RBI. The left-handed slugger hasn't played since Sept. […]

Avisail Garcia Still Bothered By Knee Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (knee) was out of the lineup on Sunday with more knee issues. His entire right leg was wrapped after receiving treatment. "He’s hanging on," manager Rick Renteria said. "He’s been a little sore but he’s working through it. You’ll see him at a time of need giving you everything […]

Kyle Tucker Called Up Sunday

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker was called up from Triple-A Fresno on Sunday. Tucker is a top prospect in baseball and hit .332/.400/.590 with 27 doubles and 24 home runs in 100 games with Fresno this year. He's the team's No. 2 prospect but probably won't see enough playing time to close out the […]

Danny Amendola Returns To Game

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (head) returned to the Week 2 game against the Jets after leaving briefly to be evaluated for a concussion. Amendola had three catches for 27 yards before he left. Albert Wilson would've been in line for more snaps had Amendola missed the rest of the […]

Andrew Cashner Won't Start Monday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner (knee) will not make the start on Monday, and there is no timetable for his return. With time running out in the season, there's a chance that the veteran righty doesn't make another start this year for the last-place Orioles. Cashner shouldn't be owned in most leagues. He's 4-15 […]

Danny Amendola Removed From Game

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (head) was taken out of the Week 2 game against the Jets and is being evaluated for a concussion. Amendola caught three passes for 27 yards before leaving. If he's out for the rest of the day, receiver Albert Wilson should benefit from more looks.

Neal Sterling Evaluated For Concussion

New York Jets tight end Neal Sterling (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Sterling didn't have any catches in the game before leaving. He's not much of a fantasy option with the Jets rotating Eric Tomlinson and rookie Chris Herndon IV in at the position.

Jay Ajayi, Mike Wallace Injured Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (back) and wide receiver Mike Wallace (ankle) were both injured in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Wallace has been ruled out, while Ajayi is questionable to return. Left tackle Jason Peters is also questionable with a quadriceps injury. Wallace's injury didn't look good, as he was helped off the […]

Carson Wentz Could Be Cleared Next Week

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) could be cleared for contact as early as this week, but that doesn't mean he'll be allowed to play in Week 3. The Eagles aren't in a rush to get Wentz onto the field in games. It might take another few weeks before Wentz makes his season debut. "He […]

Justus Sheffield Called Up To Big Leagues

New York Yankees starting pitcher prospect Justus Sheffield was called up to the big leagues on Saturday. The No. 16 overall prospect in baseball, per Keith Law, was previously dominating at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The first-round pick will be used out of the bullpen, however, which means he won't have value in redraft leagues. Sheffield should […]

Joey Bosa Expected To Be Out Until October

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) is expected to be out until sometime in October, according to sources. He has been rehabbing his foot with the hope that the swelling goes down and the foot stabilizes. However, if it doesn't, surgery hasn't been ruled out. It's a huge loss for the Chargers for […]

Kenny Britt To Work Out For Patriots

Free-agent wide receiver Kenny Britt will work out for the New England Patriots on Monday, according to a source. If Britt proves that his hamstring is healthy, the team could re-sign him. The Patriots just can't seem to find someone they like for depth purposes with Julian Edelman suspended until Week 5. Britt is a […]

LeGarrette Blount, Ezekiel Ansah Expected To Play

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) are expected to play in Week 2 against the 49ers. Blount was rarely used in the opener, but the Lions were also down big for most of the game. Expect him to be more actively used in this one, but his between-the-tackles […]

Martavis Bryant Appealing Year-Long Suspension

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant will be allowed to play while his year-long suspension is under appeal, according to sources. His camp is confident that he has a chance to win the appeal, too, which is expected to be heard in the next couple of weeks. Oakland re-signed Bryant this week after releasing him […]

Jameis Winston May Not Start When He Returns

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may hold off on using quarterback Jameis Winston as their starter when he returns from a three-week suspension, according to sources. On a short week after playing on Monday in Week 3, the Bucs may stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick for at least another week. Winston has the team's best interests in […]

Greg Olsen Hopes To Return In 4-5 Weeks

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is hoping to return in four to five weeks after he broke the same bone in his foot as last year in Week 1. Olsen is doing everything he can for a quick return. The good news is that he wasn't put on Injured Reserve, so the Panthers […]

Cameron Meredith Inactive Again

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is a healthy inactive once again in Week 2 against the Browns. Meredith was behind in training camp and the preseason after missing all of last year with a knee injury, and he clearly needs to get a better grasp of the playbook before the Saints are comfortable […]

J'Mon Moore, Equanimeous St. Brown Not Playing

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receivers J'mon Moore and Equanimeous St. Brown are inactive as healthy scratches in Week 2 against the Vikings. Moore and St. Brown clearly have work to do to gain quarterback Aaron Rodgers' trust in their rookie seasons. Geronimo Allison and Marquez Scantling-Valdes are both ahead of them on the depth […]

Roc Thomas, Mike Boone Inactive

Minnesota Vikings rookie running backs Roc Thomas (ankle) and Mike Boone are inactive in Week 2 against the Packers. That means that only Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray will be active in the backfield against Green Bay. Thomas has yet to be active in his rookie season.

Ray-Ray McCloud Inactive

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) and tight end Khari Lee are inactive in Week 2 against the Chargers. No receiver is really worth a look in fantasy on the Bills besides Kelvin Benjamin, and even he is a shaky option with rookie Josh Allen taking over this weekend.

Travis Benjamin Not Playing Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) is inactive in Week 2 against the Bills. Benjamin was a game-time decision for this one, but he won't suit up. His absence is good news for Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams in a great matchup against a Buffalo defense that got smoked by the Ravens in […]

Jordan Leggett Inactive

New York Jets tight end Jordan Leggett is inactive in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Leggett is a healthy scratch and is behind tight ends Eric Tomlinson, Neal Sterling and rookie Christopher Herndon IV. Leggett is obviously not worth owning in fantasy leagues.

Kalen Ballage A Healthy Scratch

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Kalen Ballage remains inactive in Week 2 against the Jets. Quarterback David Fales is also a healthy scratch. Ballage has nice upside in this backfield, but he's well behind starters Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore, making him not worth owning in single-year leagues.

Antonio Callaway Set To Start

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway is set to start in Week 2 against the Saints with the team looking to trade or release Josh Gordon (hamstring), who is inactive. Callaway's fantasy stock is obviously on the rise now that Gordon is out of the picture. He had no catches in the season opener, […]

Blaine Gabbert Warming Up With Starters

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert is taking snaps with the starters in warmups before the Week 2 game against the Texans. Marcus Mariota (elbow) is active but is dealing with a pinched nerve in his elbow and may not play much, if at all, in this game. Mariota should obviously be avoided by fantasy owners, […]
