Von Miller Expected To Play Despite Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos defensive end Von Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Chiefs, but head coach Vance Joseph said Miller will play. Miller will need to be on his game in order to slow down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and this high-flying offense. The 29-year-old has 29 tackles, four forced fumbles […]

Cardinals Add Insurance With Phil Dawson Injured

With Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) injured, the team signed free-agent Matt McCrane to their practice squad on Friday. McCrane was cut by the Cardinals in the preseason and then joined the Raiders, where he went 5-for-9 on his field-goal tries before being released. Offensive lineman Kyle Friend was cut in a corresponding move. […]

Royce Freeman Ruled Out For Broncos

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Chiefs, according to head coach Vance Joseph. Punt returner/wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee). The Broncos were holding out hope that Freeman would be able to play despite suffering a high ankle sprain last Thursday. With an injury that […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Questionable

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Giants. Thompson practiced this week but also did last week and was inactive, so he's not a lock to return. If he does, he'll merely be an RB3/flex play in […]

Marlon Mack Back At Practice Friday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) appears to be back at practice on Friday after missing the session on Thursday. Mack will likely be questionable on the injury report for Week 8 against the Raiders, but his return to practice gives us confidence that he'll play in a great matchup. Coming off his best […]

Jack Doyle, Adam Vinatieri Likely To Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) will both likely play in Week 8 against the Raiders. Doyle will return for the first time since Week 3, but Eric Ebron really produced with him out, so he'll remain in play as a strong TE1, although […]

Robby Anderson, Trumaine Johnson Doubtful

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) are both listed as doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Bears. With Quincy Enunwa (ankle) also out, Jermaine Kearse will be the team's top receiver. It's a big downgrade for rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Recently-signed wideout Rishard Matthews could also […]

Jamison Crowder Ruled Out Against Giants

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants. Crowder will be missing his third straight game and hadn't done much of anything for his fantasy owners before that, so he's become a drop candidate if you haven't done so already. Paul Richardson could return after missing […]

Torrey Smith Won't Play Against Ravens

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Ravens. Smith is a deep threat but mostly posts mediocre results for fantasy owners. In PPR leagues, he doesn't serve much of a purpose aside from being a bench stash. In his absence, rookie D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel […]

Ryan Grant, Erik Swoope Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) and tight end Erik Swoope (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Raiders. It'll be Grant's second straight missed game. With T.Y. Hilton back in the fold, Grant is the team's third receiver, at best, when he's healthy, so he's not much of a […]

Vontaze Burfict, Nick Vigil Ruled Out Against Bucs

Cincinnati Bengals linebackers Vontaze Burfict (hip) and Nick Vigil (knee) have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. Slot cornerback Darqueze Dennard (shoulder) will also be out. It's a serious blow to Cincy's defense, as Burfict and Vigil are the life and soul of this unit in the middle of the field. It's […]

Rashard Higgins Ruled Out Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Steelers. Higgins will need at least another week to recover from an MCL sprain. When he is ready to return, though, he could serve as the No. 2 receiver behind Jarvis Landry, so he's worth stashing in deeper leagues […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) have been ruled out for Week 8 in London against the Eagles. Fournette will sit out through the team's Week 9 bye. Playing in parts of only two games so far this year, Fournette has been a massive fantasy bust. Hopefully for […]

Martavis Bryant In Line For More Work

With the Oakland Raiders trading wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cowboys this week, Martavis Bryant should benefit in the passing game as the No. 2 behind Jordy Nelson. He's been a disappointment so far with 14 catches for 220 yards in five games, including a dropped touchdown and a fumble. "I think it helps […]

Peyton Barber Good To Go For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber has been very mediocre this year, rushing for 3.5 yards a carry without a single rushing touchdown. He'll simply be an RB3/flex against Cincinnati this Sunday, and rookie Ronald Jones II […]

Donte Moncrief Misses Flight With Team

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief was not on the team plane to London because of a passport mishap. However, he caught a commercial flight and is now in London and on his way to the practice field. Moncrief has been hit or miss so far this year. He has a 100-yard game and two […]

Will Fuller Tears ACL, Out For Season

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien confirmed that wide receiver Will Fuller (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Thursday night win over the Dolphins and will miss the rest of the season. It's a big blow to the Texans offense and for Fuller's fantasy owners. He had five catches on six targets for 124 […]

Joc Pederson To Lead Off On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said outfielder Joc Pederson will hit leadoff in Game 3 of the World Series against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello on Friday. Pederson typically leads off against righties, as he hit .260/.338/.556 with 24 of his 25 homers against them in the regular season. He has hit .233 (7-for-30) […]

Walker Buehler Excelled At Home In 2018

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler pitched pretty well all season long, but he had a tidy 1.93 ERA and struck out 84 hitters in 74 2/3 innings at home this year. He'll be pitching at home in Game 3 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Friday. The right-hander allowed four […]

Rich Hill To Start Game 4 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill will start in Game 4 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Saturday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The left-hander has allowed three runs and eight hits in 10 1/3 innings in the playoffs while striking out 10, but he has also walked nine. Hill was […]

J.D. Martinez Not A Lock To Play In Game 3

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said "we'll see" when asked if outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez's (ankle) injury is healthy enough for him to play in the outfield for Game 3 of the World Series with it shifting to Los Angeles. Martinez apparently aggravated his nagging ankle injury running the bases in Game 2 on […]

Mookie Betts Won't Start At Second Base In Game 3

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts will not start at second base in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday when the series shifts to Los Angeles. The likely American League MVP has had a quiet postseason by his standards but is 4-for-8 with a double and three runs scored in the first two […]

Rashaad Penny, Ed Dickson, Nick Vannett Practice In Full

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (finger) and tight ends Ed Dickson (quadriceps) and Nick Vannett (back) were all full participants in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. All three players should play in Week 8 against the Lions. Penny is third behind Chris Carson and Mike Davis in the running back […]

Mike Gesicki Active, A.J. Derby Out Thursday

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) is active for Thursday night against the Texans, while A.J. Derby (foot) will miss another game. With receivers Albert Wilson and Kenny Stills also out injured, the Dolphins may need to rely on Gesicki more often in the passing game. However, despite his pass-catching upside, Gesicki has […]

Cardinals Looking To Get Larry Fitzgerald More Involved

Arizona Cardinals new offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said the team is looking to get wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald the ball more. "The plays are still there in him. I don’t think he’s dead yet," Leftwich said. Fitzgerald has been a forgotten man in Arizona's terrible offense this year, and it doesn't help it's being run […]

Broncos Not Ruling Out Royce Freeman

While Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, he is improving and was moving around inside the team's complex without a walking boot. The team is still hopeful that he can play on Sunday against the Chiefs. He'll need to at least be limited in […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Missing From Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) both sat out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) also missed practice Thursday. All three players are looking dicey to play on Sunday against the Cardinals. Breida has been dinged up for most of […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Remain Out Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Robinson is looking very questionable to play against the Jets on Sunday after disappointing owners with one catch for four yards last week. Even if he plays, he could be a decoy […]

Ndamukong Suh Expected To Play Against Packers

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (knee) is expected to play in Week 8 against the Packers despite not practicing on Wednesday. The Rams are likely just limiting Suh's practice repetitions as we approach the halfway point of the season. Suh remains a beast on the interior and […]

Giovani Bernard Ruled Out Against Buccaneers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. It will be his fourth straight missed game after spraining his MCL. Bernard has a good chance to return in Week 10 after the team's bye, however, and he'll return to a change-of-pace role behind Joe Mixon. Bernard […]
