Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis Ruled Out Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (back) and Dante Pettis (knee) have both officially been ruled out for Monday night against the Packers. Pettis was ruled out early last week, while Taylor was doubtful to play all along. Tight end Cole Wick is a healthy scratch. Marquise Goodwin, Pierre Garcon and tight end George […]

Pierre Garcon Active Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) is active on Monday night against the Packers. The veteran Garcon was always expected to play, but he'll likely be at less than 100 percent as the No. 2 behind Marquise Goodwin. Garcon doesn't have a high ceiling these days, but he has some WR4/flex appeal […]

Wade Miley Lined Up For Game 5

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley will pitch on short rest for Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday. In 10 1/3 innings over two starts in the postseason this year, the left-hander hasn't allowed a single run while walking one and striking out five. Miley has been surprisingly […]

Brian McCann, Tony Kemp To Start In Game 3

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann and outfielder Tony Kemp will start in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi on Tuesday. Kemp will play either left field or serve as the designated hitter. McCann has just two hits in 10 at-bats against Eovaldi in his career, while Kemp […]

Jose Altuve Could Serve As DH In Game 3

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch is "considering" using second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) as the designated hitter in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Altuve's knee caused him to go on the disabled list earlier this year and is still bothering him after he aggravated it in […]

Quincy Enunwa Has High Ankle Sprain

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa's (ankle) MRI exam revealed a high ankle sprain, according to a source. Enunwa could miss up to a month with the injury, so he's droppable in standard-sized leagues for now. In his absence, expect Jermaine Kearse -- who had nine catches on 10 targets in Week 6 -- […]

George Kittle Could Be Inactive Monday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) could be in danger of being inactive on Monday night against the Packers after the team promoted Ross Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster. Kittle is listed as questionable after being limited all week, but he could be a game-time decision. The Niners are […]

Raiders Seeking First-Round Pick For Amari Cooper

The Oakland Raiders are seeking a first-round pick in a trade for wide receiver Amari Cooper, according to a source informed of the situation. The Raiders and head coach Jon Gruden won't discuss shopping Cooper, but it appears they want to get rid of him after he has been highly inconsistent this year and in […]

Jaguars Re-Sign Rashad Greene

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed wide receiver/punt returner Jaydon Mickens (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Monday and re-signed wideout Rashad Greene to the active roster in a corresponding move. Mickens fractured his left ankle in the team's Week 6 loss to the Cowboys. Greene will simply provide depth behind wideouts Keelan Cole, Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief […]

Josh Allen Is Week-To-Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said rookie quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. It's not exactly clear what Allen did to his right elbow in the Week 6 loss to the Texans, but he's looking highly questionable to play in Week 7 against the Colts right now. If he's […]

Derek Carr Won't Miss A Start

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (arm) is sore after being sacked six times in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Seahawks in London, but sources say that he will not miss a start. Carr was removed late in the game in favor of A.J. McCarron, but Carr pleaded the coaching staff to go back […]

Chris Taylor Out Of Lineup In Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor is not in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against Brewers right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. Cody Bellinger will start in center field and hit fifth. Taylor has been hot this postseason, going 6-for-12 with a triple, homer, four runs scored and three RBI, but […]

Anthony Iapoce To Become Cubs Hitting Coach

Texas Rangers hitting coach Anthony Iapoce is leaving the team for the same position with the Chicago Cubs, according to a source. Iapoce was the special assistant to the general manager with the Cubs before becoming the Rangers hitting coach in 2016. The Cubs fired Chili Davis as their hitting coach last week after just […]

Tyler Kroft Expected To Return This Year

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) should return this season. Kroft is currently out indefinitely and should remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues. With Tyler Eifert (ankle) out for the year, C.J. Uzomah has become the main pass-catching tight end and is on the low-end TE1 […]

Chris Thompson Day-To-Day

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) is considered day-to-day, but it's unknown what his practice workload will be like early in the week. Thompson missed the Week 6 win over the Panthers, but the 'Skins could surely use him back with wideout Jamison Crowder looking unlikely to play for the second straight game. […]

Grady Jarrett Could Return On Monday

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team is hopeful that defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (ankle) will return in Week 7 on Monday against the Giants. The Falcons are missing most of their best playmakers on defense already, so getting Jarrett back would be a positive development for a thin defense all around. Jarrett […]

Falcons Hopeful On Calvin Ridley, Mohamed Sanu

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said he is "hopeful" about rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) for Week 7 on Monday against the Giants. The extra day this week should help them both in terms of their availability. It looks like both players should be able to play, but we'll […]

Devonta Freeman, Matt Bryant Expected To Miss Week 7

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman (foot, groin) and kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) are both likely to be out for Week 7 against the Giants on Monday night. Bryant suffered a strained hamstring on his final kick in the Week 6 win over the Buccaneers. Freeman is set to miss […]

Jamison Crowder In Danger Of Missing Week 7

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) is not expected to practice at all this week until at least Friday "for sure," according to head coach Jay Gruden. That means that Crowder is probably already on the wrong side of questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys after missing Week 6. Many folks pegged Crowder […]

Braves Open To Moving Ronald Acuna To Right Field

The Atlanta Braves are open to moving outfielder Ronald Acuna to right field if they were to acquire a player in the offseason that is a better fit for left field. Nick Markakis is a pending free agent and while they have interest in re-signing him, it's not a foregone conclusion. Acuna's fantasy value won't […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Likely To Be Inactive Monday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) are "likely to be inactive" on Monday night against the 49ers, according to a source. It will be the second straight week missed for Allison and third for Cobb. In their absence, expect rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown to once again […]

Joe Schobert Is Week-To-Week

Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Schobert (hamstring) is week-to-week and "will be down for a little while," according to head coach Hue Jackson. It's a blow to a Cleveland defense that will be facing a strong offense in the Buccaneers in Week 7. Schobert has been a starter in 2018 and has posted 49 tackles, 1.5 […]

Browns Want To Get Nick Chubb More Involved

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson once again said "we do need to get Nick Chubb more carries" after the Week 6 loss to the Chargers in which Chubb had just three carries for 25 yards (8.3 yards per carry). The rookie has had exactly three carries in each of the last three weeks, but […]

Baker Mayfield Is Fine

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said that rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) is "fine." Mayfield rolled his ankle a bit in the Week 6 loss to the Chargers, but he remained in the game for the entirety and will play this Sunday against the Buccaneers in a great matchup. Tampa […]

Rangers To Interview Dusty Wathan For Manager Job

The Texas Rangers will interview Philadelphia Phillies third base coach Dusty Wathan for their managerial opening later this week, according to a baseball source. The 45-year-old Wathan was a finalist for the Phillies job last year before they chose Gabe Kapler. Wathan played professionally for 14 seasons and managed 10 seasons in the Phillies minor […]

Quincy Enunwa Dealing With Ankle Sprain

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain, although the severity is unknown. Enunwa wound up being a disaster for his fantasy owners in the Week 6 win over the Colts, catching his only pass for nine yards but losing a fumble before […]

Mike Smith Out As Tampa's Defensive Coordinator

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are removing defensive coordinator Mike Smith from his duties, according to sources. This move comes as no surprise, as the Bucs defense is among the worst in the league through six weeks of the season. Tampa's D has allowed a brutal 439.8 yards per game, which is second worst behind the […]

Rod Streater Fractures Bone In Neck

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rod Streater (neck) suffered a fractured bone in his neck in the Week 6 loss to the Chargers and will miss the rest of the season. However, the team said he will not need surgery and that doctors expect him to make a full recovery. With rookie wideout Derrick Willies (collarbone) […]

Calvin Ridley Receives Good News

The MRI exam on Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) came back pretty clean, according to a source. Ridley will go through with rehab and be monitored, but his injury could've been much worse. That doesn't really tell us if Ridley has a chance to play on Monday night against the Giants, so […]

Twins Interviewing Brandon Hyde Monday

The Minnesota Twins are interviewing Chicago Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde for their managerial opening on Monday, according to a source. The Twins are looking to replace Paul Molitor after the team disappointed with a 78-84 record after earning a wild-card spot in 2017. Hyde has also received interest in the Rangers and Angels jobs.
