Eric Berry Should Make Season Debut Next Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Eric Berry (heel) should make his 2018 season debut next Thursday in a big divisional matchup with the Chargers. Berry practiced for the second straight week but was inactive in Week 14 against the Ravens. His return will be a boost to what has been a weak secondary this year, but […]

Xavien Howard Has Surgery

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee), who is out for Week 14 against the Patriots, recently had arthroscopic surgery to trim his meniscus injury, according to sources. It's a minor procedure, so he hasn't been ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Vikings. His absence against the Patriots is notable, though, and it's good […]

Jaguars Plan To Move On From Blake Bortles

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to move on from quarterback Blake Bortles in the offseason. "I'm told that Blake Bortles's future does not include the Jacksonville Jaguars," Ian Rapoport said on Up to the Minute Live. "Not that this is a surprise at all. But they are expected to move on from him in this offseason." […]

Kareem Hunt Enters Counseling

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt has entered counseling for alcohol and anger management this week, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Hunt was released by the Kansas City Chiefs last week after a video surfaced that showed him attacking a woman in a hotel in February. Hunt is being investigated by the NFL […]

Alex Smith Unlikely To Be Ready For 2019 Season

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg), who remains in the hospital after needing additional surgeries to fight an infection in his surgically repaired broken leg, is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. Mark Sanchez isn't the answer next year to begin the year, so the 'Skins will need to look […]

Darius Slay Expected To Play Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), who is questionable for Week 14 against the Cardinals, is expected to play on Sunday, according to a source. Slay is the team's top cornerback, so that's great news for them as they go up against one of the worst offenses in the league. Slay could shadow Cardinals deep-threat […]

Melvin Gordon Could Return In Week 15

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) could return in Week 15 against the Chiefs on Thursday, as his injury wasn't as serious as the team initially thought. Gordon didn't practice at all last week and could be in danger of seeing limited snaps if he returns in a big game against the division […]

Jaylen Samuels Expected To See Significant Snaps

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back/tight end Jaylen Samuels is expected to see most of the carries in Week 14 against the Raiders with James Conner (ankle) out. Samuels could split touches with Stevan Ridley, but Samuels is the preferred fantasy play if you need another running back in the first round of the fantasy playoffs. […]

Doug Martin Expected To Play

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee), who is questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers, is expected to play on Sunday, according to a source. He will play, but he could be somewhat limited and is in danger of being phased out of the offense if the team falls behind big against a strong […]

Panthers Not Worried About Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers are not worried about quarterback Cam Newton's shoulder, and he can still make all the necessary throws he needs to heading into Week 14 against the Browns. Newton is not expected to need another offseason surgery on his right shoulder either. Against a Browns defense missing stud rookie cornerback Denzel Ward in […]

Matt Bryant Active Against Packers

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is active for Week 14 against the Packers. With the 43-year-old playing on Sunday, backup Giorgio Tavecchio is a healthy scratch. Bryant has been perfect on all 15 of his field goals this year and has missed just one of his 21 extra-point tries. Atlanta's offense hasn't been as […]

Keke Coutee, D'Onta Foreman Not Playing

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) are both inactive for Week 14 against the Colts. Coutee will miss his second straight game and just hasn't been able to get over his hamstring issues all year. He has long-term upside but should be on waivers in redraft leagues […]

T.Y. Hilton Playing Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (shoulder), who was a game-time decision, is active in Week 14 against the Texans. Hilton had the first of his three 100-yard games this year against Houston on Sept. 30 and has hurt them often in his career. Houston's secondary isn't anything to write home about, so Hilton could […]

Eric Berry Inactive Again

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains inactive for Week 14 against the Ravens. Running back Charcandrick West is also a healthy scratch after being signed last week. Berry has yet to play in 2018 but has been practicing in recent weeks and is getting close to making his first start of the year. […]

Dan Arnold, Brandon Marshall Are Healthy Scratches

New Orleans Saints tight end Dan Arnold and wide receiver Brandon Marshall are healthy scratches for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Arnold had been used more of late over Benjamin Watson as the pass-catching tight end and scored his first touchdown of the year on Nov. 22 against the Falcons. Watson should have a bigger […]

Josh Doctson Active In Week 14

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (hip) is active for Week 14 against the Giants. Running backs Kapri Bibbs and Samaje Perine are healthy scratches. Doctson hasn't reached the 100-yard mark in a single game this year and has only two touchdowns in an offense that is now being held hostage by Mark Sanchez at […]

Isaiah Crowell, Robby Anderson Active Against Bills

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) are both active for Week 14 against the Bills. Crowell has had a couple big games this year but needs to score a touchdown to really reward his fantasy owners. Consider him a low-end, volume-dependent RB2 this weekend. Anderson hasn't been […]

Mike Napoli Retires Saturday

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli announced on Twitter on Saturday that he is retiring from baseball. His best season in the big leagues came with the Red Sox in 2011 when he hit .320 with a .631 slugging percentage, 30 home runs and 75 RBI. He'll finish his 12-year career with a .246/.346/.475 slash […]

Rashaad Penny Listed As Questionable

Despite practicing all week, Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Vikings. Penny must have injured himself in practice on Saturday. Penny has been impressive here and there in his rookie season, but mostly when Chris Carson has been on the shelf. Carson will be […]

Doug Baldwin To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) will be a game-time decision on Monday night against the Vikings. Offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) have been ruled out. Baldwin didn't practice all week, so his fantasy owners should be very concerned. He's pretty much not […]

Michael Gallup Expected To Play Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Eagles despite sitting out of practice with an illness on Friday. Gallup should be fine but may not be feeling 100 percent in a very important divisional matchup against Philadelphia. He's hard to trust regardless as a WR4/5 […]

Chad Williams Questionable For Week 14

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is now questionable for Week 14 against the Lions. Williams has missed the last four games with an ankle injury and should obviously not be trusted at all in fantasy lineups. With rookie Christian Kirk on Injured Reserve, Larry […]

D'Onta Foreman Could Be Inactive Sunday

The Houston Chronicle's John McClain thinks that Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles), who was just activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list this week, will be inactive in Week 14 against the Colts. Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue have been averaging 172 rushing yards over the last six games. Foreman will basically […]

Trae Waynes Ruled Out For Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday night against the Seahawks. Waynes' absence will make Minnesota's secondary a little weaker, which is good news for Seattle receivers Tyler Lockett and David Moore. Marcus Sherels should fill in with Wayne out on Monday.

Yadier Molina To Have Knee Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (knee) will have surgery on his knee next week, but his agent, Melvin Roman, described the procedure as "a simple thing" to help clean out the knee. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said it will be a "very small procedure" and that Molina should only be out a […]

Trevor Cahill Attracting Interest From Handful Of Teams

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Cahill is drawing interest from "four or five" teams after going 7-4 with a 3.76 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over 21 outings (20 starts) for the A's last season. The right-hander has been injury-prone, which keeps his value somewhat limited in mixed leagues, but Cahill can be quite underrated […]

White Sox Interested In Marwin Gonzalez

The Chicago White Sox are believed to be interested in free-agent infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez. While Gonzalez wasn't as good in 2018 as he was in 2017, he still managed 16 home runs and 68 RBI in 489 at-bats and offers fantasy owners with a variety of positions to play him at. The switch-hitter will be […]

Terron Armstead Ruled Out This Weekend

New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead (pectoral) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Armstead will look to return in Week 15 as the team's starting left tackle. Jermon Bushrod will continue to fill in on quarterback Drew Brees' blind side this Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Eric Berry Questionable For Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 14 against the Ravens. Berry hasn't played all season but looks to be on track to make his season debut this Sunday. While the veteran will likely have his snaps limited if he sees the field, his […]

Chris Carson On Track To Play Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (finger) returned to a full practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Carson was expected to play Monday night against the Vikings despite dislocating his index finger in Week 13. He'll remain the lead back in a touch matchup against Minnesota's stout run defense, where he'll be more […]
