Ravens Without Starting Tackles Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and right tackle James Hurst (back) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Steelers. Jermaine Eluemunor will likely start at left tackle on Sunday, while rookie Orlando Brown will likely play on the right side. Those are notable losses for the Ravens offensive line in […]

Raheem Mostert Going On Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (forearm) will be placed on Injured Reserve after having surgery on his fractured right forearm on Friday. Mostert suffered a gruesome forearm break in the blowout win over the Raiders on Thursday night. It's a shame, too, as he was seeing more work in the backfield at the […]

Derek Anderson Questionable Against Bears

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) missed practice all week but is questionable for Week 9 against the Bears. It's a surprise he wasn't flat out ruled out, but perhaps he'll clear the concussion protocol on Saturday. Either way, he's unlikely to play, leaving Nathan Peterman in line for the start. Peterman is a turnover […]

Theo Riddick To Return In Week 9

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) returned to a full practice on Friday and is off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Vikings. Riddick hasn't played since Oct. 7, but his return inevitably lowers the ceiling of rookie Kerryon Johnson in the passing game. Still, Riddick is unlikely to be all […]

Melvin Gordon Gets Questionable Tag

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Coming off the bye, we fully expect Gordon to be available this Sunday. He's gone over 100 yards rushing twice this year and has nine total touchdowns as the engine of this Bolts offense. Plug him in […]

Keke Coutee, Jadeveon Clowney Questionable For Week 9

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (groin) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Broncos. Coutee missed Week 8 but was limited in practice all week, giving him a good shot to return. The addition of Demaryius Thomas as the […]

Adrian Peterson, Paul Richardson Questionable

Washington Redskins running backs Adrian Peterson (shoulder) and Kapri Bibbs (shoulder) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) were limited in practice this week and are questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons. All three will play. With Chris Thompson (ribs) out again, it'll be the Peterson show in the backfield in a good matchup. […]

A.J. Pollock, Patrick Corbin Will Receive Qualifying Offers

The Arizona Diamondbacks plan to extend $17.9 million qualifying offers to free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock and starting pitcher Patrick Corbin. With both players expected to depart in free agency, it'll allow the Snakes to receive draft-pick compensation for them. Pollock is an injury risk in fantasy, but he has shown an impressive mix of power […]

Chris Thompson, Trent Williams Ruled Out

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that running back Chris Thompson (ribs) and left tackle Trent Williams (thumb, shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Falcons. Williams had surgery to fix his dislocated thumb. Thompson continues to struggle with injuries, and he's been a low-end RB3/flex in PPR leagues when he […]

Amari Cooper To See Significant Snaps In Debut

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said wide receiver Amari Cooper will see a significant amount of snaps in his debut for the team on Monday night against the Titans. “We’re not really easing him in," Linehan said. Cooper suffered a concussion in Week 6 with the Raiders before being traded, but he hasn't played […]

Indians Will Listen To Trade Offers On Veterans

Due to market restraints, the Cleveland Indians will listen to trade offers for some of their veterans this winter, including starting pitchers Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco, designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion and catcher Yan Gomes. Shortstop Francisco Lindor and infielder Jose Ramirez will definitely be held. Despite being on the wrong side of 30 years […]

Alvin Kamara Back At Practice Friday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday. The Saints were just resting Kamara with him being under the weather on Thursday. We'd expect him to be taken off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Rams. In an expected shootout in the […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Questionable

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Bills. It's the same routine both players went through last week before being inactive. That could be the case again this week, so prepare for that possibility. […]

Eric Berry Remains Out

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Browns. Berry hasn't practiced or played in the regular season and doesn't have a timetable to return. Don't be surprised if he doesn't make it back at all this year. KC's secondary has been vulnerable all year without him, […]

Rockies Having Positive Talks With Nolan Arenado

Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said there have been "positive" talks between the team and third baseman Nolan Arenado about a long-term deal. Arenado will become a free agent after the 2019 season, but it remains to be seen if he'll actually make it there before signing a long-term deal. The 27-year-old remains one […]

Broncos Defense Beat Up Heading Into Week 9

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall (knee), cornerback Bradley Roby (ankle) and safety Darian Stewart (neck) have all been ruled out for Week 9 against the Texans. That's bad news for their secondary. With Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and receiver DeAndre Hopkins coming to town, they could both have huge games in the Mile High city. […]

Royce Freeman Listed As Questionable

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Texans. We'd be surprised if Freeman suited up after suffering a high ankle sprain two weeks ago. If he remains out, rookie Phillip Lindsay will remain a high-end RB2, while Devontae Booker would once again be in play […]

Roc Thomas, Anthony Barr Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Roc Thomas (hamstring) and linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Lions. Thomas' role will take a hit with Dalvin Cook (hamstring) likely returning for a full-time role after the team's Week 10 bye. With cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) and safety Andrew Sendejo […]

Stefon Diggs, Dalvin Cook Questionable Against Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) and running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) are both listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Lions. Diggs could be a game-time decision, so he'll be one to watch in pre-game workouts Sunday morning. If he plays he'll likely be at less than 100 percent, so temper expectations […]

Matt Bryant Out Against Redskins

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Redskins. It will be Bryant's second straight missed game. Giorgio Tavecchio will continue to fill in for Bryant. The 28-year-old made all three of his field goals on Oct. 22 against the Giants and both of his extra points. However, […]

Kenny Stills, A.J. Derby Questionable Against Jets

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Jets. Neither Stills nor Derby look particularly close to returning to action this weekend. That means that Devante Parker and Danny Amendola will continue to be the team's top wideouts with Albert Wilson done […]

Antonio Callaway, Rashard Higgins Questionable

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Antonio Callaway (ankle) and Rashard Higgins (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Chiefs. Callaway missed practice on Friday after injuring his ankle on Thursday, so he seems to be on the wrong side of questionable. Higgins is looking to return after a three-game absence due to […]

Dodgers Optimistic For New Deal With Clayton Kershaw

The Los Angeles Dodgers remain optimistic of reaching a new deal with starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw, according to a source. Both sides want this to work out and an agreement doesn't necessarily have to come by 4 pm ET on Friday, which is the new deadline for Kershaw to decide if he will opt out […]

Elijah McGuire Has Good Chance To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire (foot) is likely to be activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and has a good shot of playing in Week 9 against the Dolphins. Head coach Todd Bowles said McGuire is "trending toward playing." It's unclear how much we might see McGuire play in his first game of […]

Is Mitch Trubisky a Legitimate Fantasy Starter?

Raise your hand if you were looking forward to owning Chicago Bears' second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky in fantasy in 2018. If you dropped your mouse to raise your hand, first of all, I can't see you and second of all, you're probably lying. Some owners probably still wouldn't care to own Trubisky at the season's […]

Torrey Smith Ruled Out

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Buccaneers. It'll be Smith's second straight missed game. Rookie D.J. Moore stepped up in a nice way in Week 8 and should do the same again this Sunday in a juicy matchup against Tampa's extra soft secondary. Moore has […]

Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (ankle) and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Dolphins. They missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday, leaving them both unlikely to suit up. If they don't play, the Jets receiving unit will be in dire straights […]

Chris Thompson, Trent Williams Doubtful To Play

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) and left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) both missed practice again on Friday and are unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Falcons. Neither player has practiced all week, all but ruling them out. Thompson continues to battle injuries and is quickly falling off the fantasy radar, even […]

Dalvin Cook To Be On Limited Snap Count In Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings plan to use running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) on a limited snap count in Week 9 against the Lions, according to sources. Cook has practiced all week, so the hope is that he'll play this weekend. The Vikings have a bye in Week 10, so don't expect Cook to be used all […]

Dodgers Extending Qualifying Offer To Yasmani Grandal

The Los Angeles Dodgers will extend a $17.9 million qualifying offer to free-agent catcher Yasmani Grandal, according to a source. It means that the Dodgers will receive draft-pick compensation if Grandal signs with another team in free agency. Grandal has a lot of swing and miss to his game, but he's also one of the […]
