Richard Sherman Could Return This Week

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) will return to practice on Thursday and could return from a one-game absence thanks to a "fresh leg program." If Sherman does return, he could be matched up against future Hall of Fame receiver Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals. Sherman's presence in the secondary would be bad news […]

Corey Davis Back To Full Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Davis will play in Week 5 against the Bills. With better health from quarterback Marcus Mariota, it's no wonder Davis had his best game in Week 4 with nine catches on 15 targets for 161 […]

Dalvin Cook Questionable For Week 5

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is calling running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) questionable for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook has yet to practice this week, so as of now he looks to be on the wrong side of questionable. The second-year back just hasn't looked good so far and had only 10 carries […]

Blaine Gabbert Clears Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Now that starter Marcus Mariota appears to be past his right elbow injury, Gabbert has no chance of seeing the field in Week 5 against the Bills. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues unless Mariota is injured […]

J.A. Happ To Start Game 1 Of ALDS

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ has been named the starter for Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Friday. Happ was very solid for the Bronx Bombers after they traded for him, going a perfect 7-0 with a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 8.9 K/9 over 11 […]

Dolphins Not Optimistic About DeVante Parker

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase didn't sound optimistic about wide receiver Devante Parker's (quadriceps) status for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker has put in limited practices each of the last two days, but it still might not be enough to get the green light after he sat out in Week 4. The 25-year-old […]

Julio Jones Returns To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, hand) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Jones will usually sit out on Wednesdays regardless, so this is nothing new. He will play in a great matchup against the Steelers in Week 5, where he will be a high-end WR1. We wouldn't be surprised […]

Dalvin Cook, Trae Waynes Still Out

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) remain out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It doesn't bode well for their chances of suiting up in Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook continues to be bothered by his hamstring and had just 10 carries for 20 yards […]

Larry Fitzgerald Back At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Cardinals are being cautious with their veteran, so he should play in Week 5 against the 49ers. But with Arizona's offense struggling to move the ball consistently and with a rookie under center, Fitz has become […]

Quincy Enunwa Added To Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Enunwa should be fine to play in Week 5 against the Broncos unless he suffers another setback on Friday. He has been rookie quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite target through four games, but it hasn't amounted to a ton of […]

Hector Rondon, Chris Devenski Left Off ALDS Roster

Houston Astros relief pitchers Hector Rondon, Chris Devenski, Brad Peacock and Joe Smith were all left off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Indians. Rondon was the team's primary closer (15 saves) until they traded for Roberto Osuna, and Rondon struggled to close out the year. Devenski battled injuries and wasn't […]

Nathan Eovaldi To Start Game 4 Of ALDS

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will start in Game 4 (if necessary) of the American League Division Series against the Yankees. He will also be available out of the bullpen in Game 1 on Friday. Eovaldi was solid for Boston after being acquired from the Rays at midseason, going 3-3 with a 3.33 ERA, […]

No Restrictions For Yan Gomes

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes (thumb) threw to bases in Houston during a workout on Thursday, and manager Terry Francona said the backstop won't have any restrictions in the American League Division Series against the Astros. He still has two stitches in his thumb, but they shouldn't impact his hitting or throwing. Gomes hit .266/.313/.449 […]

Rajai Davis Earns Final Roster Spot For ALDS

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that outfielder Rajai Davis will get the 25th spot on the roster for the American League Division Series against the Astros over infielder Erik Gonzalez. Davis' speed is what won him the spot, as he had 21 swipes in 101 games despite hitting just .224/.278/.281 with one homer and […]

Julian Edelman Trained With Celtics

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, who will return on Thursday night from his four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, spent time training with the Boston Celtics during his time away from the team, according to sources. While it remains unclear how much Edelman will play on a short week in his season debut, he […]

Alex Collins Misses Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (knee) did not practice on Thursday. It's a downgrade after he practiced on Thursday, and it now puts his status for Week 5 against the Browns in doubt. Collins was already becoming an unappealing RB2 with Javorius Allen stealing valuable goal-line and red-zone touches. If Collins sits this weekend, […]

Sterling Shepard, Damon Harrison Practicing Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (knee) both appeared to be practicing in some capacity on Thursday. Shepard sat out on Wednesday after he had a cyst removed from his back, but he should be fine to play in Week 5 against the Panthers. Shepard has been a […]

Ryan Madson Makes Roster Over Ross Stripling

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling was left off the roster for the National League Division Series against the Braves in favor of relief pitcher Ryan Madson. Stripling was injured late in the year and was not the same pitcher he was early in the season when he made the All-Star team. Overall, Stripling was […]

Dansby Swanson, Dan Winkler Not On NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) and relief pitcher Dan Winkler were left off the roster for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers. The Braves will go with a 12-man pitching staff that will include Sean Newcomb, Julio Teheran, Touki Toussaint, Max Fried and Chad Sobotka. Shane Carle and Sam Freeman were also […]

Jon Gray Left Off NLDS Roster

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray was left off the roster for the National League Division Series against the Brewers in favor of reliever DJ Johnson. Gray went 12-9 this year but had a disappointing 5.12 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 183 strikeouts in 172 1/3 innings over 31 starts. A career-high 1.4 home runs per […]

Adrian Peterson, Paul Richardson Practicing

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) were both seen practicing on Thursday. Coming off their bye week, both players should be good to go on Monday night against the Saints. Peterson blew up in Week 3 and remains a volume-based RB2 against his former team. Richardson has […]

Josh Doctson Out For Second Straight Day

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday after he had his heel stepped on in practice on Wednesday. The Redskins play on Monday night, so Doctson has a little extra time to heel, but it's not looking good for his status right now. The 25-year-old […]

Corey Clement, Darren Sproles Out Again

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Corey Clement (quadriceps) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's looking like Clement will miss his second straight game and Sproles will miss his fourth straight game this Sunday. That means that Wendell Smallwood and rookie Josh Adams would back up Jay Ajayi […]

Alshon Jeffery Returns To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It looks like Jeffery will be fine to play again this Sunday after making his season debut with eight catches on nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 4. Jeffery will have a tough matchup […]

Aaron Rodgers Returns To Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's the same routine that Rodgers went through last week. He will play in Week 5 against the Lions, but he might be just a low-end QB1 with receivers Davante Adams (calf), Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison […]

Tyler Anderson Expected To Start Game 2 Of NLDS

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said he was "leaning" toward using starting pitcher Tyler Anderson as the starter for Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers on Friday. That would set up Kyle Freeland and German Marquez to pitch Sunday and Monday, respectively, in Denver. The left-handed Anderson went 7-9 with […]

Chase Anderson, Eric Thames Left Off NLDS Roster

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson and first baseman Eric Thames were left off the roster for the National League Division Series against the Rockies. Starter Zach Davies and relievers Xavier Cedeno and Dan Jennings also were left off the roster. Anderson was the team's opening day starter but struggled mightily down the stretch. Thames […]

Brandon Woodruff To Serve As Opener In Game 1 Of NLDS

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff will serve as the opener for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Rockies on Thursday. Woodruff, who has experience as a starter and who had four starts in 19 outings this year, went 3-0 on the season with a 3.61 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 47 K's […]

Eric Berry Still Out

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains out of practice on Thursday. Berry has yet to practice in the regular season, and there remains no timetable for his season debut for KC. Without him, the Chiefs secondary has been very generous to opposing wideouts through four weeks. The latest beneficiaries could be Jaguars quarterback […]

LeGarrette Blount Returns To Practice

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Blount should be fine to play in Week 5 against the Packers, but he's losing fantasy appeal quickly. The bruising back had only seven carries for 12 yards (1.7 yards per carry) in Week 4 and is averaging […]
