Keke Coutee, Sammie Coates Questionable
Houston Texans wide receivers Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 1 against the Patriots. Will Fuller is also questionable and could be a game-time decision. With three of their receivers ailing, expect Houston to rely a lot on stud wideout DeAndre Hopkins […]

Sony Michel Listed As Questionable
New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Texans. Our best guess is that the Pats play it safe and keep Michel out and lean on Rex Burkhead, James White and Jeremy Hill in the season opener. Even if Michel were to be active, he's […]

Steve Wilkerson Rehabbing From Injury
Baltimore Orioles infielder Steve Wilkerson (hamstring) is rehabbing from a hamstring injury but hopes to get into a game before the season ends. Wilkerson only has 17 at-bats at the big league level this year but was hitting .263 with four home runs and 15 RBI in three minor league levels for the O's this […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Again Friday
Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (groin) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Friday. Lynch might wind up being questionable on the final injury report on Saturday, but we'd expect Beast Mode to be able to suit up on Monday night against the Rams. Lynch is a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 choice […]

Will Fuller Could Be Game-Time Decision
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) could be a game-time decision in Week 1 against the Patriots. He has been limited all week in practices with a hamstring injury that he suffered in the preseason. Fuller could break out in a full season with quarterback Deshaun Watson under center, but you should be ready […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Questionable
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) are both questionable for Week 1 against the Bengals. Mack was limited in practice again on Friday, but he and Castonzo could both be game-time decisions. If Mack winds up playing, rookie Jordan Wilkins probably won't be worth a flier as a […]

Nationals Activate Sean Doolittle
The Washington Nationals activated closer Sean Doolittle (foot) from the disabled list on Friday. Doolittle has been out for the last two months, so the Nats may ease him back into the ninth-inning role. The left-hander should still be owned everywhere, though, as he had posted a clean 1.45 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, 22 saves and […]

Jermaine Gresham Is Questionable
Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Redskins, according to head coach Steve Wilks. Even if Gresham plays this weekend, he's unlikely to have much of a role behind starter Ricky Seals-Jones. Gresham can continue to be ignored in fantasy circles.

Joey Bosa Officially Ruled Out
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot), who was wearing a walking boot on Friday, has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Chiefs. This is definitely a downgrade to the Chargers defense/special teams in Week 1, but they're still worthy of using in fantasy this Sunday. Bosa is an elite IDP […]

Donovan Smith Questionable, Vita Vea Ruled Out
Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith (knee) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 1 against the Saints. Rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out. Smith is expected to be able to play in the season opener, and he will try to keep […]

Jeremy Hellickson Throwing Sim Game Friday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (wrist) is throwing a simulated game on Friday. Hellickson has been surprisingly good for the Nats this year, going 5-3 with a 3.57 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 18 starts, but he doesn't usually go deep into games and is only striking out 6.5 hitters per nine innings. The […]

Rashaan Evans Won't Play Sunday
Tennessee Titans first-round linebacker Rashaan Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Dolphins. With linebacker Harold Landry (ankle) also out, the Titans are looking a little weak in the interior for the season opener.

Roc Thomas Ruled Out
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Roc Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday but has been ruled out for Week 1 against the 49ers. Wide receiver Stacy Coley (groin) practiced in full and was taken off the final injury report. With Thomas inactive, rookie Michael Boone should be the third back behind Dalvin Cook […]

Mackensie Alexander Doubtful, Xavier Rhodes Questionable
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Mackensie Alexander (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday but is doubtful for Week 1 against the 49ers. Fellow cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) was a full participant but is questionable. With Alexander looking unlikely to play in the season opener, rookie corner Mike Hughes may be tasked with covering the slot. Regardless, […]

Josh Gordon Removed From Injury Report
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 1 injury report. Gordon won't start on Sunday against the Steelers, but he'll surely be involved. He has boom/bust potential for fantasy owners as a WR3/flex play.

Didi Gregorius Activated From DL
The New York Yankees activated shortstop Didi Gregorius (heel) from the disabled list on Friday. He has been on the DL since Aug. 20 with a bruised left heel and was hitting .270 with 22 home runs and 74 RBI at the time of his injury. His fantasy owners will want to get him back […]

Jack Conklin Ruled Out
Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Dolphins. Conklin was recently activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list and may not make it back until around Week 4. He's one of the best right tackles in the NFL, so the longer he's out, the worse […]

DeAndre Carter Plays In Slot
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Deandre Carter played a significant amount in the slot in Thursday's season opener against the Falcons, with Shelton Gibson playing more outside. As of now, it doesn't appear that the Eagles trust Gibson more than Carter. Neither wideout is worth a starting spot in fantasy leagues going into Week 2 against the […]

Corey Clement May Not Be A Big Backfield Weapon
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson cautioned that the team is wary of using running back Corey Clement that much in the backfield because he is a special teams player as well. "Start with Corey (Clement): We gotta be careful giving him a lot of extra touches from the standpoint that he’s also a special […]

Jay Ajayi To Be Used More
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said the team will use running back Jay Ajayi more going forward after he saw just three carries in the first half on Thursday. "Jay was nursing a little bit of a lower body (foot) injury for a couple weeks and I just wanted to make sure he as […]

Joey Bosa In Walking Boot Friday
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) was seen in a walking boot on Friday, which is not a good sign for his availability in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Bosa practiced on Wednesday but was downgraded to out on Thursday, which is typically an ominous sign. He could be a game-time decision on […]

Eric Reid Doubtful To Play In Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) "probably won't" play in Week 1 against the Chargers, according to head coach Andy Reid. Reed will be listed as doubtful on the final injury report. The Chiefs had been listing Berry as day-to-day this week, but it never looked realistic that he'd suit up. His expected absence […]

Jermaine Kearse Limited On Friday
New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) was limited at practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday. Still, Kearse isn't expected to be available in Week 1 against the Lions on Monday. With Kearse likely out, Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Terrelle Pryor should be the team's top three wideouts.

Devonta Freeman Is Fine After Injury Scare
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) is fine, according to a source. Freeman injured himself in the fourth quarter against the Eagles on Thursday, but he should be good to go for Week 2 against the Panthers. The 26-year-old had six carries for 36 yards (6.0 yards per carry) and three catches for 14 […]

Keanu Neal Out For The Year
Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 game against the Eagles on Thursday and is out for the year, according to a source. As ESPN's Adam Schefter notes, this is a huge blow for the Falcons secondary and defense overall, as Neal was one of their best overall […]

Tyler Mahle Bumping Homer Bailey From Rotation
Cincinnati Reds manager Jim Riggleman announced on Friday that starting pitcher Tyler Mahle will take Homer Bailey's spot in the rotation to close out the year. Neither pitcher has been very good this year, but Mahle definitely has more upside. He's gone 7-9 with a 4.95 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 8.7 K/9 in 22 starts, […]

Vance McDonald Ruled Out For Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Browns. Jesse James will start at tight end. McDonald has never played a full season in his five years in the NFL, and he won't do it in 2018. He had just 14 catches for 188 yards and one […]

Eddie Goldman Signs Extension
The Chicago Bears signed defensive tackle Eddie Goldman to a four-year, $42 million contract extension on Friday, according to a source. The deal includes $25 million in guarantees and makes him one of the highest paid players at his position. Goldman is more of a run stuffer than he is a pass rusher, as he […]

Ray-Ray McCloud Ruled Out
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens after missing the entire week of practice. McCloud is way down the depth chart, even in Buffalo, so he wouldn't have been on the fantasy radar even if he were active.
Keith Hernandez
Daryl Williams Questionable
Carolina Panthers right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Cowboys. Williams has made a fast recovery from a gruesome knee injury, but don't be surprised if the team holds him out as a precaution. With left tackle Matt Kalil already out, Carolina's offensive line will be very shaky […]
