Corey Clement Expected To Lead Backfield On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is expected to lead the backfield on Thursday against the Giants with Jay Ajayi (knee) now out for the season. Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams will also have roles, though. Clement is a physical runner and has improved as a pass catcher and also has return skills on special […]

Devonta Freeman Not Dealing With Long-Term Injury

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is not believed to be dealing with a long-term injury with his foot after missing three games due to a knee injury suffered in Week 1, according to a source. It doesn't mean he won't sit out in Week 6 against the Buccaneers, but the team doesn't fear […]

Marcus Peters Says He's 100 Percent

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) suffered a calf injury in Week 3 but didn't miss any games, although he has been beat for big plays in Week 4 and Week 5. Despite that, Peters says he's healthy. "What makes you ask that?" Peters replied to reporters, via the Rams' official website. "No, I […]

T.J. Yeldon The Guy In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said running back T.J. Yeldon will be the main running back in Week 6 against the Cowboys with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing another game. Recently-signed running backs Jamaal Charles and David Williams will strictly be backups. "T.J. will be a guy that will carry the load for us," Marrone […]

Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison In Rehab Group

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) are all working with the rehab group on Thursday. Allison is out of the concussion protocol. The one thing we do know is that Rodgers should be fine to play. He'll remain a high-end QB1 in a […]

Lane Johnson Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) was added to the injury report on Thursday morning with a high ankle sprain and is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants. Johnson will test his ankle before the game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Halapoulivaati Vaitai would be the next man up on […]

Demaryius Thomas A Trade Candidate

If the Denver Broncos season continues to spiral downward, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas could be a trade candidate before the Oct. 30 deadline. Thomas is scheduled to make $14 million in 2019, but a contending team desperate for a pass catcher could be willing to take that on. The Tennessee Titans or Dallas Cowboys could […]

Rangers Interested In Pat Murphy For Managerial Opening

The Texas Rangers have expressed preliminary interest in Milwaukee Brewers bench coach Pat Murphy for their managerial opening, according to sources. However, no interview has been scheduled yet with the Brewers still in the postseason. Murphy has minor league managerial experience and was the interim manager for the Padres a few years ago. He was […]

Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, David Moore Practice In Full

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) and wide receivers Doug Baldwin (knee) and David Moore (rib) all practiced in full on Wednesday. They will all play in Week 6 against the Raiders in a solid matchup. However, Seattle has passed the ball fewer than any team in the NFL in the last three weeks, which […]

Nick Vannett Misses Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett (back) did not practice on Wednesday. This is a new injury for Vannett and one that could cause him to sit out in Week 6 against the Raiders. He had three catches on four targets for 43 yards in Week 5 and should remain as the main pass-catching tight […]

Jhoulys Chacin On Track To Start Game 1 Of NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is on his normal schedule to start in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Friday. Chacin was the team's most effective starter all year, and he held the Rockies scoreless through five innings with three […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Ahead Of Week 6

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It always seems to be something for Lynch, but he should have no issues suiting up in Week 6 against the Seahawks. After opening up the year with touchdowns in the first three games, he has now gone two games in a […]

T.J. Watt Emerging As IDP Beast

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, the younger brother of Texans All-Pro pass rusher J.J. Watt, had three sacks in Week 5 against the Falcons and continues to impress in his second season. The younger Watt is now tied with Bengals defensive tackle Geno Watkins for the NFL lead with six sacks on the year. He […]

Devonta Freeman's Week 6 Status In Doubt

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is dealing with a bone contusion, according to a source. He missed practice on Wednesday and his status for Week 6 against the Buccaneers is in doubt. The good news is that he was able to do some work off to the side, but […]

Sammy Watkins, Chris Conley Practice In Full

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Chris Conley (toe) both practiced in full on Wednesday, alongside linebacker Dee Ford (groin, hand). Watkins has been pretty heavily involved, securing at least seven targets in three of his last four games, with the outlier being the game in which he was injured against Denver. […]

Eric Berry, Justin Houston Sit Out Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) and linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Berry has yet to practice or play in the regular season, and at this point you have to wonder if he'll ever make it back this year. Houston is looking at a multi-week absence. It all adds up […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel, Chris Hogan, Josh Gordon Limited

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Chris Hogan (thigh) and Josh Gordon (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All four should be fine to suit up on Sunday night in a showdown against the Chiefs. Against a KC pass defense that has […]

Anthony Miller Practices In Full

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Miller has been able to rest up the last several weeks and looks ready to return for the first time since dislocating his shoulder on Sept. 23. The talented rookie has a touchdown in three games but only eight […]

Jamison Crowder, Paul Richardson Absent Wednesday

The Washington Redskins only held a walkthrough practice on Wednesday, but head coach Jay Gruden said wide receivers Jamison Crowder (ankle) and Paul Richardson (knee) wouldn't have worked out had it been a full-on practice. It's a concern for an offense that looked pretty bad in a good matchup against the Saints secondary on Monday […]

Courtland Sutton Limited In Practice

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Courtland Sutton (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday but appeared to be moving around well in the period open to the media. Sutton doesn't look to be in any danger of sitting out in Week 6 against the Rams. Game script could favor the passing game, but Sutton isn't […]

Larry Fitzgerald, Jermaine Gresham Miss Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) and tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. Both veterans are likely being rested and should be expected to suit up in Week 6 against the Vikings. Fitzgerald has seen his fantasy value drop drastically after a seven-catch season opener. He doesn't have more […]

Dalvin Cook Puts In Limited Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Cook has been a bust so far this year for fantasy owners with 36 carries for 98 scoreless yards (2.7 yards per carry) in parts of just three games. It's looking like he has a shot to return after missing Week 5, […]

Mohamed Sanu Limited In Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. His injury didn't keep him out last week and shouldn't in Week 6 against the Buccaneers in what is an excellent matchup. Don't look now, but Sanu has now caught 10 passes on 16 targets for 184 yards and a touchdown the […]

Devonta Freeman Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He's no longer listed with his knee injury, but Freeman hasn't been able to stay healthy this year. Freeman fell flat in his return last week, running just eight times for 32 yards (4.0 yards per carry). It's unclear if his new injury […]

Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp Won't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said wide receivers Brandon Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) will not practice on Wednesday but took part in the team's walkthrough. Both players are progressing well in the league's concussion protocol. It's a good sign that both players will be cleared in time to face the Broncos […]

Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Lamar Miller Limited

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest), wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Will Fuller (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring), running back Lamar Miller (chest) and tight end Ryan Griffin (toe) were all limited in practice Wednesday. Watson and Miller say they will both for sure play against the Bills this weekend. While Watson took a […]

Jadeveon Clowney Sits Out Wednesday

Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. Clowney should be fine to suit up in an excellent matchup against a poor Bills offensive line that has allowed the most sacks in the NFL through five weeks. Clowney has recorded 12 tackles and 2.5 sacks through four games this year. Start […]

Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole To Start First Two Games Of ALCS

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said starting pitchers Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole will start the first two games of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox, respectively. This is no surprise. Verlander and Cole have the best one-two punch in baseball this year and will both be strong DFS plays despite facing […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Practice In Full

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) both practiced in full on Wednesday. It's looking like Mack will make his return this week, complicating what has been a mediocre committee this year. Mack has played in just one game so far this year and had 10 carries for 34 […]

T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron Miss Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring), tight ends Jack Doyle (hip) and Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) and rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) all missed practice on Wednesday. The Chiefs are one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Hilton and Doyle are both week-to-week and look to be in danger […]
