Vance McDonald On Track To Play

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (hip) practiced in full on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. McDonald should be able to play on Sunday night against the Chargers.

Kenny Stills Voices Frustration

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills voiced his frustration with the offense on Thursday. "I couldn't tell you exactly why I'm not getting more targets. I can tell you I'm getting open. There are other guys open on plays, too, that aren't getting hit. I can't throw the ball to myself," Stills said. Stills is […]

Emmanuel Sanders Added To Injury Report

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (heel) was added to the Week 13 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. The injury doesn't seem to be serious, but it's worth watching. He caught seven passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 and has an even better matchup against a Bengals […]

J.T. Realmuto Continues To Attract Interest

The Astros, Dodgers and Yankees are among the teams that have shown interest in trading for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. Houston is believed to be willing to include outfield prospect Kyle Tucker but probably not top pitching prospect Forrest Whitley. The Yankees still hold catcher Gary Sanchez in high enough regard that they have […]

Eric Ebron Practicing In Full

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (back), who missed practice on Wednesday, is practicing in full on Thursday. Ebron has a whopping 11 touchdowns on the year and found the end zone thrice back on Nov. 11 against the Jaguars, who he will face again in Week 13. With Jack Doyle on Injured Reserve, Ebron […]

Dodgers Discussing Trade For Corey Kluber

The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to discuss a trade for Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber, according to sources. One possibility involves the Dodgers sending outfielder Yasiel Puig to Cleveland in addition to at least one other significant player. LA would likely be willing to move left-hander Alex Wood and right-handed prospect Yadier Alvarez. The […]

Charles Clay, Derek Anderson Limited Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) and quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Clay hasn't played since Nov. 4 but appears to be on track for a return against the Dolphins in Week 13. Clay has been a non-factor in real life and in fantasy all year, though, so […]

Chris Thompson Expected To Return In Week 13

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden expects running back Chris Thompson (ribs) to return in Week 13 on Monday night against the Eagles. “When you watch him run there is no issue. I think he’ll be fine," Gruden said. Thompson has missed the last four games and six total games this year, making him a […]

Reds In On Dallas Keuchel

The Cincinnati Reds are said to be "all over" free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, and they think the ground-ball pitcher is a fit for hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark. Keuchel's agent, Scott Boras, is touting the lefty as "another (Tom) Glavine." The 2015 American League Cy Young winner was 12-11 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.31 WHIP […]

Stefon Diggs Says He'll Play Against Patriots

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee), who has missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday of this week, said he will play in Week 13 against the Patriots. Diggs has said this before and then not played, so he's certainly one to watch heading into Sunday. With the Vikes playing an afternoon game, Diggs becomes […]

Todd Gurley Is Fine

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (ankle) had a great practice on Wednesday. The team expects him to be his normal self in Week 13 against the Lions. Gurley tweaked his ankle in the Week 11 shootout win over the Chiefs, but he had the bye week to […]

Aqib Talib Expected To Return Against Detroit

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team expects cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) to return in Week 13 against the Lions. He looked good in practice on Wednesday, but it's still to be determined how much he will actually play on Sunday. Even if Talib plays limited snaps, this is a big boost […]

T.Y. Hilton, Marlon Mack Return To Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (groin) and running back Marlon Mack (concussion) both returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Both players should be able to play in Week 13 against the Jaguars, barring setbacks. Hilton has recorded 125 yards in each of the last two weeks, but his outlook will […]

Jose Leclerc Receiving Trade Interest

Multiple teams have contacted the Texas Rangers about the availability of closer Jose Leclerc this offseason. Leclerc was electric in 2018, posting a 1.56 ERA, finishing with a 21-inning scoreless streak and posting the lowest opponent's batting average (.126) by any reliever. He also finished the year as the closer and had 12 saves and […]

Jonathan Schoop Could Hit Open Market

There is a strong possibility that the Milwaukee Brewers non-tender second baseman Jonathan Schoop on Friday, which would make him a free agent, according to sources. Schoop was an All-Star in 2017 with the Orioles, but he struggled mightily after being traded to the Brewers in the second half of the 2018 season. He is […]

Falcons Hoping Deion Jones Plays Against Ravens

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team is hoping that linebacker Deion Jones (foot) will be able to play in Week 13 against the Ravens. Jones has been out since injuring himself in the season opener. His return would be a big boost to a struggling Falcons defense and bad news for Ravens […]

Mitch Trubisky Still Not Throwing

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) is still not throwing despite being limited in practice on Wednesday. It was announced on Thursday that the Bears will hold Trubisky out for the second straight game. Barring setbacks, he should be ready to return in Week 14. Chase Daniel will get […]

Sammy Watkins Not Practicing Again

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Coming off the bye week, it's not a good sign for his status in Week 13 against the Raiders. The Chiefs probably don't need him to win anyway, so don't be surprised if they rest him for another […]

Kerryon Johnson Absent Again

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Johnson sat out on Thanksgiving and seems likely to miss another game this weekend against the Rams. Don't plan to use him in fantasy. With Johnson inactive last Thursday, LeGarrette Blount saw a bigger workload and had a […]

Alex Collins Returns To Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Collins is being described as day-to-day after he sat out in Week 12 against the Raiders. With Gus Edwards emerging and recording 100-yard games in the last two contests, Collins' stock is on the decline. Even if he's […]

Joe Flacco Seen Practicing Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) returned to practice on Thursday after missing the session on Wednesday. Flacco has been out since Nov. 4 and could be held out another week with rookie Lamar Jackson giving the team more upside at the position, especially with his running and scrambling ability. Even if Flacco returns this […]

Gus Edwards Back At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (ankle) was back at practice on Thursday and wasn't hampered by his ankle. He should be fine to start on Sunday in a great matchup against the Falcons and has RB2 upside, even if Alex Collins returns to action. Edwards was able to run a cone drill and worked […]

Jeff McNeil Being Discussed In Mets-Mariners Potential Swap

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil is being discussed in the potential trade between the Mets and Seattle Mariners that would involve second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz, according to a source. Several first-round picks, including 2018's Jarred Kelenic, are also being discussed. McNeil came out of nowhere this year to hit […]

Dodgers, Padres Make Offers To Garrett Richards

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres have made offers to free-agent starting pitcher Garrett Richards (elbow), according to sources. Richards had Tommy John surgery this year and will miss all of the 2019 season, so fantasy owners in redraft leagues can ignore him heading into spring drafts. The right-hander's career has been marred […]

Stefon Diggs, Xavier Rhodes Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) both remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Diggs is wearing a wrap on his left knee and appears to be in danger of missing the Week 13 showdown against the Patriots. Both players will need to practice on […]

Mets Making Progress In Deal For Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz

There is significant momentum toward a deal that would send Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to the New York Mets, according to league sources. A deal is not done yet, but the expectation is that the trade will get finished. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic is reporting that two […]

Danny Amendola Still Absent Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's looking unlikely that Amendola will suit up and play in Week 13 against the Bills. If he doesn't play, it'll mean more work for Devante Parker, Kenny Stills and Leonte Carroo, although none of them are […]

Tyron Smith Looking Unlikely For Thursday

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (elbow, neck) is looking unlikely to play on Thursday night against the Saints, as a source says "it's not looking good." Smith is listed as questionable and is a game-time decision. Cameron Fleming will start on quarterback Dak Prescott's blind side if Smith is unable to play. Not having […]

Byron Jones Not Expected To Shadow Michael Thomas

Dallas Cowboys top cornerback Byron Jones isn't expected to follow Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas around on Thursday night. That's good news for both Thomas and quarterback Drew Brees, as opposing quarterbacks' passer rating while throwing at Jones this year is just 67.4.

Curtis Samuel Practicing Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) is practicing on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Samuel should be fine to play in Week 13 against the Buccaneers. He has scored in three of the last four games and will be a sneaky DFS pick in a great matchup if Devin Funchess misses his second […]
