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 […]

Seahawks Could Give Earl Thomas Significant Fine

The Seattle Seahawks could give safety Earl Thomas a significant fine for conduct detrimental to the team after he missed practice twice last week, according to organizational sources. Thomas took part in practice on Saturday and plans to play on Sunday against the Cowboys, and head coach Pete Carroll said he plans to start Thomas. […]

Joey Bosa Not Expected Back Until October

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) will get the cast off his foot on Sunday and will then use a walking boot when he's not rehabbing or exercising, according to a source. However, he is not expected to be back until sometime in October. IDP owners spent a high draft pick on Bosa, […]

Cardinals Not Expected To Bench Sam Bradford Yet

The Arizona Cardinals are not expected to bench quarterback Sam Bradford for rookie Josh Rosen just yet. The Cardinals have scored just six points through the first two weeks, but the coaching staff continues to stand by Bradford for now. However, if the Cardinals bench Bradford after this week or decide to release him and […]

Tyrod Taylor Expected To Clear Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (head) is expected to clear the concussion protocol this week, according to sources. Unfortunately, Taylor has already lost the starting gig to rookie Baker Mayfield three weeks into the season. It doesn't mean that Taylor won't see more playing time this year, but it'll likely only come if Mayfield is […]

Baker Mayfield To Be Announced As Starter On Monday

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield will be announced as the starting quarterback on Monday when head coach Hue Jackson meets with the team. Tyrod Taylor was knocked out of Thursday's game with a concussion but was just 4-for-14 for 19 yards before leaving. Mayfield entered and sparked the team to a comeback win over […]

Dalvin Cook Says He'll Be Ready For Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring), who is out in Week 3 against the Bills, said he "definitely" will be ready for the Week 4 game against the Rams on Thursday night. He has no doubts that he'll play. Cook's injury never seemed too serious, but it's looking like the Vikings wanted to play […]

Cameron Meredith Active For First Time This Year

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is active in Week 3 against the Falcons for the first time this season. Meredith was behind in training camp and the preseason after missing all of 2017 with a knee injury, so he was behind in learning the offense. It appears he's taken a step forward, but […]

Eric Berry Out For Third Straight Week

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 3 against the 49ers. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and doesn't appear to be anywhere close to rejoining the team. His absence continues to be felt in a poor KC secondary, and they are in line to be roasted for the third straight […]

Spencer Ware Is Active Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee) is active for Week 3 against the 49ers. Ware was a late addition to the injury report, but he will suit up and will continue to back up Kareem Hunt. Ware has no standalone value in fantasy leagues.

Jaquiski Tartt Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) is inactive for Week 3 against the Chiefs. The good news is that cornerback Richard Sherman will be playing, so hopefully he can help slow down an extremely talented and high-powered Chiefs passing game. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has 10 touchdowns through two weeks, so it'll be no easy […]
