Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Hunter Greene (elbow), the team's No. 2 prospect, is not expected to need Tommy John surgery after spraining the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow earlier this year.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will be on the roster for the American League Championship Series against the Astros despite dealing with a sore hamstring that he aggravated in Game 2 of the Division Series. Moreland said he thinks he can contribute despite not being able to run at regular speed. Expect […]

Derrick Willies Placed On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns placed rookie wide receiver Derrick Willies (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he broke his collarbone in practice on Friday. Breshad Perriman was signed to the active roster in a corresponding move. It's a tough break for Willies, as he made an impact in the team's Week 5 overtime win and […]

Browns Sign Breshad Perriman

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman to their active roster on Saturday, according to a source. Perriman was a massive first-round bust for the Ravens, but he'll now provide the Browns with some depth with Derrick Willies (collarbone) on Injured Reserve and Rashard Higgins out two to four weeks. Jarvis Landry is […]

Martavis Bryant Dealing With Flu

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (flu) is dealing with the flu but is cautiously optimistic about playing in London against the Seahawks. Bryant was added to the Week 6 injury report and is questionable to play. Bryant had his best game of the season with three catches on three targets for 91 yards in […]

Trent Taylor Unlikely To Play Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor (back) is unlikely to play on Monday against the Packers, in the opinion of NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. Taylor missed practice both Thursday and Friday. With Dante Pettis already being ruled out early in the week as well and veteran Pierre Garcon questionable, the Niners could […]

Garrett Celek Practices In Full

San Francisco 49ers tight end Garrett Celek (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited in practice on Thursday. Celek should be fine to play but will once again be off the fantasy radar while being behind George Kittle (knee), who has practiced on a limited basis the last two days. […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Miss Practice Friday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) both missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. Breida is highly questionable and could be dealing with a mid ankle sprain. If you own him, you should definitely be planning to be without him. Alfred Morris would […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Be Game-Time Decisions

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is saying that wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will both be game-time decisions against the 49ers on Monday night. It's not a certainty that either receiver will be able to play, though. With the game being on Monday night, it's much too risky to […]

Carlos Correa Feeling Good

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) said his back feels the best it has since he came off the disabled list late in the season. Correa returned from the DL on Aug. 10 but his just .180 (24-for-133) with two home runs and 16 RBI in 37 games to close out the regular season. The […]

Josh Gordon Developing Relationship With Tom Brady

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon described his growing bond with quarterback Tom Brady as a "real natural type of relationship." The Patriots traded for Gordon on Sept. 17 and placed his locker next to Brady's. Gordon has played only 18 snaps apiece in the last two games but caught a 34-yard touchdown on […]

Giants To Stick With Eli Manning

The New York Giants plan to stick with quarterback Eli Manning despite a 1-5 start to their season after losing 34-13 to the Eagles on Thursday night. The aging quarterback has six touchdowns and six turnovers in six games on the year and completed just 24 of 43 passes for 281 yards and an interception […]

Jimmy Graham Back To Full Practice Friday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) was back to a full practice on Friday after being held out on Thursday. Graham will suit up on Monday night against the 49ers in a good matchup. Green Bay could once again be without receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring), so that would […]

Mitch Moreland Confident He'll Be On ALCS Roster

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) felt healthy after his workout on Friday and is confident he'll be included on the roster for the American League Championship Series against the Astros. Moreland injured himself in Game 2 of the Division Series against the Yankees and didn't play in the final two games. He'll […]

Jaguars Signing Ereck Flowers

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent offensive tackle Ereck Flowers on Friday. Backup left tackle Josh Wells (groin) has been placed on Injured Reserve. He had started three games in place of left tackle Cam Robinson (knee), who tore his ACL in Week 2. Flowers was a first-round bust with the Giants and was cut after […]

Caleb Sturgis Questionable For Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Browns. The Bolts signed Mike Badgley earlier this week, so there's a real chance Sturgis won't play in this one. If you own Sturgis, it'd be wise to look for other options […]

Greg Zuerlein Ruled Out

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Broncos. Zuerlein is getting close to a return, though, so he could be back as soon as Week 7. As soon as he's back Zuerlein will be in play as a high-end fantasy kicker for one of the best […]

DeMarcus Lawrence To Play With Harness

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder), who said he has been playing with a torn labrum in his shoulder for the last two years, is listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. He said his shoulder popped out of socket in Week 5 and he was in severe pain on […]

Chase Edmonds Questionable For Week 6

Arizona Cardinals backup running back Chase Edmonds (back) was added to the injury report on Friday as a limited practice participant and is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Vikings. Edmonds hasn't done much this year behind David Johnson, carrying the ball 14 times for 39 yards (2.8 yards per carry) with nine […]

Deshaun Watson Questionable Against Bills

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 6 against the Bills. Watson is fully expected to play and has a great matchup in Buffalo's defense. Watson has been on a roll lately and has looked more like the rookie that broke out in 2017 before […]

Hector Rondon, Joe Smith Added To ALCS Roster

Houston Astros relief pitchers Hector Rondon and Joe Smith are being added to the roster for the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox in favor of reliever Will Harris and outfielder Myles Straw. Rondon was solid for the Astros as their primary closer for much of the year, but he lost the job […]

Travis Shaw Sitting Against Lefty In Game 1

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw is out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw. Hernan Perez will draw the start at the keystone and hit fifth on Friday. Perez is simply a contrarian sleeper in DFS against the always tough Kershaw. Perez is 0-for-5 […]

Four Patriots Playmakers Are Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Chris Hogan (thigh) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 6 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Hogan is really the only player in doubt, but even he should […]

Derrick Willies Out After Fracturing Collarbone

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Derrick Willies (collarbone) fractured his collarbone in practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Chargers. Willies will be re-evaluated next week. Willies was in line to see more snaps after serving as a hero late in the Week 5 overtime win over the Ravens. With […]

Eric Ebron, Darius Leonard Questionable Against Jets

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) and rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) both practiced in full on Friday but are questionable for Week 6 against the Jets. We expect both to play this Sunday, but Ebron could be limited with the various injuries he's dealing with. Even with the threat of […]

Deonte Thompson, Brice Butler Questionable

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Deonte Thompson (hamstring) and Brice Butler (groin) were both added to the injury report on Friday as limited practice participants and are questionable for Week 6 against the Jaguars. Both Thompson and Butler are depth for what has become the league's worst receiving corps. Thompson has caught 11 of his 16 […]

DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant, A.J. Derby Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (quadriceps) and Jakeem Grant (shoulder) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot) are all questionable for Week 6 against the Bears. Parker said earlier this week that he had no idea if he'd play. He's only suited up for one game this year and isn't a realistic starting option even […]

Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp Expected To Play

Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) both practiced in full on Friday, and head coach Sean McVay said he expects both receivers to be cleared to play on Saturday. The Rams should have all three receivers -- Robert Woods, Cooks and Kupp -- healthy for Week 6 against the […]
