Joe Mixon Will Play Against Dolphins

Updating previous reports, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) practiced on Wednesday and will play in Week 5 against the Dolphins, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. Mixon had arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 15 and missed two games. While Mixon could be eased back in, he immediately returns to the RB2 map for fantasy […]

Giovani Bernard Misses Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Bernard's injury coupled with the likely return of Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins means that Bernard's value is dropping after he served as an RB1 the two weeks that Mixon was out. At best, Bernard might be an RB3/flex […]

Dalvin Cook, Trae Waynes Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Cook admitted Monday that his hamstring is still bothering him after he had only 10 carries (none in the second half) for just 20 yards last Thursday. Even when healthy, he's averaged just 2.7 yards per carry and […]

Paxton Lynch Working Out For Bucs

Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, a failed first-round pick for the Broncos, is working out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, according to a source. Jameis Winston will take over the starting quarterback duties from journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick when the team comes out of their Week 5 bye. Lynch has been making the rounds ever […]

Davante Adams Puts In Limited Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Adams should not be in any danger of sitting out in Week 5 against the Lions. He will likely be shadowed by cornerback Darius Slay, but Adams remains a WR1 as long as quarterback Aaron Rodgers is throwing him passes. The […]

Jimmy Graham Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Packers are likely just resting their veteran tight end early in the week. Graham caught three of his six targets for 21 yards and his first touchdown of the season last weekend. If both wideouts Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison […]

Julio Jones Sits Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, hand) did not practice on Wednesday. The veteran Jones hardly ever practices on Wednesdays, so don't be alarmed. Jones has now gone over 100 yards in two of four games and posted 96 yards in Week 3, so it's made up for the fact that he has yet […]

Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Mohamed Sanu Limited

Atlanta Falcons running backs Devonta Freeman (knee) and Tevin Coleman (shin) and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Freeman is set to make his return after injuring himself in the season opener. In a favorable matchup against the Steelers, he should be penciled in as an RB2, even if he's […]

J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans defensive ends J.J. Watt (thigh) and Jadeveon Clowney (foot) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Both pass-rushers should be fine for Sunday night against the Cowboys, where they'll be strong IDP plays. Watt has five sacks in the last two games along with 20 tackles through four weeks. He's also forced fumbles already. […]

Will Fuller, Lamar Miller Limited In Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) and wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, hamstring, thumb), Will Fuller (hamstring), Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Fuller aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 4 and could be questionable this Sunday night against the Cowboys. If he's out, Coutee, who […]

Cole Beasley, DeMarcus Lawrence Limited Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. It puts them both on track to play this Sunday night against the Texans. Beasley is the leading receiver on this team, which tells you something about their lack of depth, and has 16 catches […]

Terrance Williams, Sean Lee Not Practicing

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams (personal) and linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Williams sat out of Week 4 due to personal reasons and might sit out again Sunday night against the Texans. Lee is set to miss his second straight game and is likely to miss Week 6 as well. […]

Tavon Austin Lands On Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday after injuring his shoulder while diving for a pass in the end zone in Week 4. Despite being talked up all offseason with his new team, Austin remains more of a gadget player in a non-existent passing game. He has […]

Ezekiel Ansah, Quandre Diggs Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and defensive back Quandre Diggs (hand) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Ansah continues to be a disappointment due to injuries, and he's only played in the season opener this year. He's been effective when on the field, though, tallying four tackles and one sack against the […]

LeGarrette Blount, Michael Roberts Miss Practice

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (illness) and tight end Michael Roberts (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Blount should be fine to suit up in Week 5 against the Packers, but he's not a recommended fantasy play. The burly running back continues to lose touches to rookie Kerryon Johnson and Theo Riddick, and he's […]

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Colts. Gronkowski's injury is believed to be minor, but New England could hold him out as a precaution. He could come down to a game-time decision. […]

Tyrod Taylor Practices In Full

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) practiced in full on Wednesday. Taylor should be fine to serve as rookie QB Baker Mayfield's backup in Week 5 against the Ravens. Taylor has lost what little fantasy value he had at the beginning of the season now that he's holding clipboards on game day.

Alex Collins, Hayden Hurst Limited Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (knee) and rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine for Week 5 against the Browns, and his fumbling issues may be a much bigger problem than his injury. While he is still technically the team's lead back, Javorius Allen […]

Adam Vinatieri, Anthony Castonzo, Darius Leonard Questionable

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin), left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) and rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) were all limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Patriots. The Colts haven't signed another kicker, so we'd expect Vinatieri to give it a go. However, with the Colts likely to be […]

No Practice For Alshon Jeffery

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) did not practice on Wednesday. Jeffery must return to practice on Thursday or Friday to have a chance of playing against the Vikings in Week 5. In his first game back last week, Jeffery had a healthy eight catches on nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Good For Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (ankle, knee) said "this is the freshest I felt after any Wednesday practice I've had." He has no doubts that he will play in Week 5 against the Texans on Sunday night and said "I'm good." Keep Elliott, the NFL's leading rusher after four weeks, locked in as your […]

John Ross Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Ross is on track to play in Week 5 against the Dolphins. He had his best game of the year in Week 4 against the Falcons, catching both of his targets, including a 39-yard touchdown pass. Still, Ross isn't very attractive to […]

Marquise Goodwin, Joe Staley Miss Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Goodwin has been a major bust so far this year due to injuries, and he's caught just five passes on nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in three […]

Miguel Cabrera Says He Could Play Now

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) said he could play right now if the Tigers were in the playoffs. “If we were going to play in the playoffs, I think I’d be able to be ready right now,” Cabrera said during his charity foundation's "Miggy Ball 24" event at The Corner Ballpark. “But they […]

Nick Martini Leading Off In Wild-Card Game

Oakland Athletics outfielder Nick Martini is starting in left field and hitting leadoff in the wild-card game on Wednesday against Yankees starter Luis Severino. Martini has been good for the A's this year in just 152 at-bats, hitting .296/.397/.414. However, he had just one homer and 19 RBI, limiting his fantasy impact in counting stats. […]

Curtis Samuel, Trai Turner Practice In Full

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) and offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) both practiced in full on Wednesday. Samuel hasn't played at all this year after having a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat. He's no lock to return in Week 5 against the Giants and even if he does, he won't be on […]

Greg Olsen Running Routes

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) resumed running routes and catching passes off to the side at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Olsen re-fractured his right foot in the season opener and there remains no timetable for his return, although he should be back at some point this season. Rookie […]

A.J. Derby Missing Practice

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is out of practice on Wednesday. Derby sat out last week's loss against the Patriots and doesn't appear to be close to a return yet. He has only two catches on three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in three games and isn't a viable fantasy commodity. […]

DeVante Parker, Reshad Jones Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (thigh) was at practice and went through drills on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 4. However, he did have a wrap on his right thigh. Safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who missed back-to-back games the last two weeks despite practicing, was at practice on Wednesday. Parker has played in […]

Donald Penn Placed On IR Wednesday

The Oakland Raiders placed right tackle Donald Penn (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a groin injury in Week 4, according to sources. He should be able to return this year, but he'll have to miss at least eight weeks. Penn hasn't been very good for Oakland so far this year, so […]
