Kenley Jansen Available In Game 5

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that closer Kenley Jansen "is available tonight to back up Kersh" and will get "the best part of their lineup" in Game 5 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Sunday. Jansen has pitched on back-to-back days already and has blown saves each time out, allowing […]

Tyreek Hill Suffers Groin Strain

Kansas City Chiefs running back Tyreek Hill (groin) suffered a groin strain in the Week 8 win over the Broncos, according to head coach Andy Reid. Before leaving the game, Hill caught three of his four targets for 70 yards, leaving his fantasy owners mostly disappointed. The injury could cost him the Week 9 game […]

Sony Michel Ruled Out For Monday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bills on Monday night. Right tackle Marcus Cannon (concussion) was also ruled out. Michel was never expected to play after spraining his MCL in Week 7, but he could return in Week 9 if he continues to […]

Xavier Rhodes Inactive Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) is inactive for Sunday night against the Saints. The good news for the Vikings defense is that defensive tackle Linval Joseph (ankle, knee) is active and defensive end Everson Griffen is returning from his mental-health issues. However, linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) and strong safety Andrew Sendejo (groin) are also […]

Kike Hernandez Hitting Third On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kike Hernandez is starting in center field and is hitting third in Game 5 of the World Series against Red Sox left-hander David Price on Sunday. Cody Bellinger, Joc Pederson, Matt Kemp and Yasmani Grandal will start on the bench in this one. Second baseman Max Muncy will drop down to […]

Rafael Devers Back At Third Base For Game 5

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is starting at third base over Eduardo Nunez in Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Sunday. Devers is hitting seventh against left-handed starter Clayton Kershaw. Outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. will start on the bench for the second straight game against a left-handed pitcher. Devers […]

LeSean McCoy Clears Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol and is expected to play on Monday against the Patriots despite being questionable. McCoy should be the team's lead back on Monday, but the Bills offense has been terrible and will once again have Derek Anderson under center in a lopsided […]

Carl Lawson Suffers Torn ACL

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carl Lawson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 against the Buccaneers and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Lawson came into this Sunday with only six tackles and one sack in seven games, but it's nevertheless a blow to Cincy's defensive line and their […]

Jameis Winston Benched Against Bengals

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was benched in the second half in Week 8 against the Bengals after going 18-for-35 for 275 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions, including a pick-six. Winston has been solid for fantasy owners in this pass-first offense in recent weeks, but this was not one of them. He was […]

Ronald Jones II Injured Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) left the game early in Week 8 against the Bengals and has been ruled out. Jones had just two carries for minus-three yards and caught one pass for four yards before leaving. He's been a non-factor so far in his rookie season behind Peyton Barber […]

Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown Active

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) are both active for Week 8 against the Rams. Geronimo Allison is also active after missing several games, although he was previously taken off the injury report. With the Packers returning to full health at the position, rookie J'mon Moore is a […]

Jermaine Gresham, Phil Dawson Active Sunday

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) are both active for Week 8 against the 49ers. Gresham is the second tight end behind Ricky Seals-Jones and is more of a blocking option. He can continue being ignored in fantasy. Dawson has made just three of five field goals this year […]

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman Active For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) are both active for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Breida will be active but could be third in snaps behind Raheem Mostert and Alfred Morris, making him a much too risky fantasy option despite the excellent matchup. Sherman's presence is good news […]

Marlon Mack, Jack Doyle, Adam Vinatieri Active

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle), tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) are all active for Week 8 against the Raiders. Wide receiver Zach Pascal (head) is also active. Mack had the best game of his season last week and should remain the clear lead back ahead of rookies Nyheim […]

David Price Starting Over Chris Sale In Game 5

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price will start Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Sunday instead of Chris Sale on normal rest. Price tossed 88 pitches in Game 2 on Wednesday in Boston, 13 pitches in Game 3 on Friday and warmed up in Game 4 on Saturday. Manager Alex […]

Pierre Garcon Ruled Out Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Cardinals. The veteran wideout that has been the subject of trade interest, has just 21 catches for 230 yards and no touchdowns in seven games this year and is likely lingering on the waiver wire in most […]

Lane Johnson Suffers Sprained MCL

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in the Week 8 game against the Jaguars in London. It's a best-case scenario after Johnson's knee injury initially looked more serious. With the Eagles on bye in Week 9, there's a chance that he might not have to miss any time.

Browns Could Make Changes To Coaching Staff

The Cleveland Browns could be facing coaching changes if their offense doesn't improve, according to sources. Head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley haven't been on the same page in recent weeks, and their relationship has not improved. Haley could lose his job if this doesn't change soon. Jackson recently said he wouldn't […]

Jaguars Players Involved In London Club Incident

Four Jacksonville Jaguars players were involved in an incident at a London nightclub Saturday morning resulting in them being detained by police before being released, according to several sources.

Joey Bosa Not Close To Returning

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) is making progress from his foot sprain, but he is not "anywhere near ready to play right now," according to a source. His injury is considered an eight- to 12-week injury for most players. Bosa hasn't progressed to the point where he can practice next week and […]

Ryan Tannehill Unlikely To Return In Week 9

It seems overly optimistic that Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will be able to return in Week 9 against the Jets, meaning Brock Osweiler could be in line to make another start. There is no real timetable for Tannehill's return, and he can remain on the waiver in most leagues. Osweiler blew up in […]

Bruce Irvin, Karl Joseph Could Be Traded

Oakland Raiders linebacker Bruce Irvin and safety Karl Joseph are both candidates to be traded ahead of the Oct. 30 deadline, according to sources. Irvin is a coveted pass rusher, but his $8 million base salary this year and $9 million salary for 2019 has turned teams off so far. Joseph is expendable for Oakland […]

Raiders Sticking With Derek Carr

The Oakland Raiders are saying that quarterback Derek Carr is their quarterback now and for the foreseeable future, according to sources. With Carr's poor play this year and his questionable leadership within his own locker room, there has been speculation that the Raiders might be looking to trade him. Head coach Jon Gruden continues to […]

Pierre Garcon Drawing Trade Interest

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon has drawn trade interest from multiple teams with the deadline approaching on Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to sources. San Francisco has fielded calls from at least three teams in the last week and are expected to continue doing so after their Week 8 game against the Cardinals. The […]

DeSean Jackson Asks For Trade

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson recently requested a trade from the Bucs, according to sources, and he's hoping to find a team that can make better use of his talents. D-Jax went over the 100-yard mark in three of his first four games with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick under center to start the year, […]

Will Fuller To Have Surgery Next Week

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (knee) will have surgery on his torn ACL this week and is expected to be out six to nine months, according to a source. Barring setbacks, he's expected to be ready at some point during training camp next summer. Fuller just hasn't been able to stay healthy early in […]

Bills Unlikely To Trade LeSean McCoy Before Deadline

The Buffalo Bills are unlikely to trade running back LeSean McCoy before the trade deadline on Tuesday, Oct. 30, unless another team proposes an offer they can't refuse, according to league sources. Buffalo still thinks McCoy is one of their best players and are unwilling to give him away unless they receive something in their […]

Leonard Fournette Expected To Return Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who missed his fourth straight game in Week 8 in London against the Eagles, is expected to return in Week 10 against the Colts after the team's bye week, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The team sees both Fournette and Carlos Hyde getting work […]

Maxx Williams Inactive Against Panthers

Baltimore Ravens tight end Maxx Williams is a healthy inactive for Week 8 against the Panthers. Quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are also healthy scratches. With rookie Hayden Hurst likely to see a bigger role in the passing game moving forward, the Ravens just don't have room for four tight ends […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Not Playing Against Jets

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both inactive for Week 8 against the Jets. These are big losses on both sides of the ball for the Bears, as Robinson is the team's No. 1 wideout and Mack is the best pass rusher on the squad. Robinson's absence […]
