Felix Hernandez Plans To Start Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) said the plan is for him to make his final start of the year on Wednesday against the A's. Hernandez continues to decline and battle injuries as he ages. He is 8-13 on the year with a 5.46 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and career-low 7.2 K/9 over 28 outings […]

Phillip Lindsay Ejected In Week 3

Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay was ejected in Week 3 against the Ravens for throwing punches during a scrum. Lindsay had four carries for 20 yards and didn't record a catch before leaving. It becomes a frustrating day for his fantasy owners if they started him, but the long-term future looks bright for […]

Larry Fitzgerald, Jermaine Gresham Active

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) and tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) are both active in Week 3 against the Bears. Fitzgerald was always going to play in this game. He should be downgraded a bit with quarterback Sam Bradford looking awful through two games. Gresham will be making his season debut but will […]

A.J. Green Questionable To Return With Groin Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (groin) suffered a groin injury in Week 3 against the Panthers and is questionable to return. Green had five catches for 58 yards before departing the contest. It remains to be seen how serious the injury is and if it'll keep him from playing next week against the Falcons. […]

Evan Engram Ruled Out After Suffering Knee Injury

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) was ruled out in Week 3 after suffering a knee injury against the Texans. Engram had one catch for 19 yards before departing the contest. Rhett Ellison should step in as the primary tight end to close out the Week 3 game, but he wouldn't be very […]

Steelers Listening To Trade Offers For Le'Veon Bell

The Pittsburgh Steelers are now listening to trade offers for running back Le'Veon Bell as he continues his contract holdout into Week 3, according to league sources. With no clear end to this holdout in sight for Bell, his fantasy owners continue to be punished. A trade and a contract extension with a new club […]

C.J. Prosise Inactive Against Cowboys

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen) is inactive in Week 3 against the Cowboys. Prosise has no carries and only three catches for 22 yards in two games this year, so he wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with. Mike Davis will continue to back up Chris Carson and rookie Rashaad Penny in […]

Joe Mixon Could Return Next Week

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) was actually pushing to return this weekend after having a knee scope last week, according to sources. He remains a possibility to return and play in Week 4 against the Falcons. The dual-threat running back was performing admirably as a high-end RB2 for fantasy owners, so it's great […]

Cole Beasley, Sean Lee Active Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) are both active for Week 3 against the Seahawks. It's good news all around for the Cowboys. Beasley has been the most targeted receiver in Dallas and should remain that way in Week 3. Still, he no more than a WR4/flex option in […]

Richard Sherman Limps Off With Injury

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) limped off the field badly and needed assistance from two people in Week 3 against the Chiefs. He is questionable to return to the game. With safety Jaquiski Tartt already out and safety Adrian Colbert also injured in this game, it's not a good sign for the team's […]

Mark Barron Officially Out Sunday

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) is inactive for Week 3 against the Chargers. Barron was never expected to play this weekend and might have to sit out again in Week 4. He has yet to play this season, but he is an IDP force for his tackling ability when he's active. The Rams […]

Antonio Gates Will Play Against Rams

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates (illness) is active in Week 3 against the Rams. Gates played just 11 snaps in the Week 2 win over the Bills and didn't record a catch. He'll remain a red-zone option for the Chargers, but he's unlikely to see the field enough to warrant a start in […]

Travis Benjamin Inactive Against Rams

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) is inactive in Week 3 against the Rams. Benjamin also sat out last week against the Bills. In his absence, Mike Williams becomes a more attractive WR4/flex option as a red-zone target in this offense. Receivers Keenan Allen and Tyrell Williams should also see more work as […]

Jose Fernandez Has Hand Contusion

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez (hand) was diagnosed with a right hand contusion on Saturday after X-rays showed no fracture. Fernandez left the game early on Saturday after getting hit by a pitch. Consider him day-to-day for now. With the Angels playing out the string, Fernandez is getting a lot of playing time. […]

X-Rays Negative On Aaron Hicks

X-rays turned up negative for New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (foot) after he fouled a ball off his foot on Saturday. Hicks was the hero on Saturday and avoided a serious injury. He's been excellent for his fantasy owners this year despite missing some time with injury, hitting .249/.369/.468 with 26 long balls, 76 […]

Joe Musgrove Shut Down For Season

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (abdomen) is being shut down for the remainder of the season due to right side abdominal discomfort. In his place on Sunday, Nick Kingham will draw the start against the Brewers. Musgrove was pretty effective for owners this year, going 6-9 with a 4.06 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 7.8 […]

Logan Forsythe Making Progress

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe's left knee is making progress, and manager Paul Molitor said Forsythe took a step forward on Saturday. Forsythe remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday, but he should be able to return before the end of the season. He's been much better with the Twins than he was […]

White Sox Not Ruling Out Jose Abreu

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria isn't ruling out first baseman Jose Abreu (thigh) from playing again this year. "He's got a pretty significant healing process he's got going on with that thigh right now," Renteria said. With just nine games left in the season, even if Abreu does return, he's unlikely to make much […]

Hunter Harvey To Visit With Team Doctors

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Hunter Harvey (elbow) will visit with team doctors on Monday to examine the root of his lingering elbow soreness. He was shut down last week while preparing for the instructional league in Florida. Harvey hasn't pitched since June, and he's been dealing with injuries throughout his young career. Harvey was the […]

Matt Koch To Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Koch will get the start on Tuesday against the Dodgers. Koch has a 4.83 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and weak 4.6 K/9 as a starter in 13 starts for the Snakes this year. He's coming off a good outing against the Cubs, but he's an extremely risky streamer in this matchup with […]

Miguel Sano's MRI Exam Shows Nothing New

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano's (knee) MRI exam didn't show anything new in his left knee. “Little bit of a puzzle we haven’t been able to solve yet,” manager Paul Molitor said. With a week left in the season, the Twins are likely to play it safe and hold Sano out with nothing on […]

Martin Perez Starting Sunday, Adrian Sampson On Monday

Texas Rangers pitcher Martin Perez will make the start on Sunday against the Mariners in the team's home finale. Adrian Sampson will make the start on Monday against the Angels. Perez was relegated to the bullpen after being highly ineffective as a starter, but he'll get the spot start on Sunday. Perez has been better […]

Leury Garcia Activated From DL

The Chicago White Sox activated outfielder Leury Garcia (hamstring) from the 10-day disabled list on Saturday. Garcia had been out since Aug. 21 with a strained left hamstring. He was hitting .280 with seven doubles, four triples, four home runs and 31 RBI in 77 games this season. He should see some playing time down […]

Blaine Gabbert Suffers Head Injury Against Jaguars

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert (head) left the game early in Week 3 against the Jaguars and is being evaluated for a concussion. Gabbert was injured on the second drive of the game. Marcus Mariota (elbow) was forced into the game and was wearing a glove on his right hand. Gabbert went 13-for-20 for 117 […]

Andrew Cashner Still Has Pain In Knee

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner (knee) is still dealing with pain in his knee and is unlikely to start again this year. With the last-place Orioles having nothing to play for, it's likely they shut Cashner down for the final week of the season. He wasn't of much use to fantasy owners this year […]

Jack Flaherty To Start Monday

The St. Louis Cardinals are moving starting pitcher Jack Flaherty up to Monday against the Brewers and Austin Gomber back to Tuesday. The move will give Gomber an extra day of rest while also lining Flaherty up to throw either of the team's final two games next weekend or a wild-card game on a full […]

Addison Russell May Request Emergency Hearing

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell may request an emergency hearing that must take place within 24 hours of him asking to be removed from administrative leave, according to sources. Russell was put on administrative leave after a case involving a domestic-violence claim by his ex-wife was re-opened. Don't expect Russell, who had already been losing […]

Bruce Ellington Suffers Hamstring Injury Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in Week 3 against the Giants and is questionable to return. Ellington had one catch for 10 yards before leaving the game. With DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller the team's top two wideouts, Ellington is unlikely to see enough targets to make an impact […]

Todd Bowles On The Hot Seat?

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles signed a two-year contract extension just nine months ago, but he could be on the hot seat moving forward if the Jets don't improve on their 1-2 start to the season. The feeling around the Jets is that Bowles isn't safe right now and is being watched, evaluated […]

Anthony Castonzo Week-To-Week

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) remains week-to-week, and head coach Frank Reich doesn't believe Castonzo is a candidate to go on Injured Reserve. Castonzo had a setback last week and still has yet to make his season debut for a shaky Colts offensive line. Getting Castonzo back and healthy is huge, as he's […]
