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 […]

Tre'Davious White Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills top cornerback Tre'Davious White (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday and walked off the field with a trainer with his shoes off. That could be potentially bad news for a Bills secondary that leans on White to shut down an opponent's No. 1 receiver. If White is forced to miss this weekend's […]

John Ross Returns To Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 5. Ross has a chance to return in Week 6 to face the Steelers in a nice matchup. However, he's third on the depth chart behind A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd and hasn't caught more than three […]

No Practice For Giovani Bernard, Tyler Kroft

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) are both sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Bernard is expected to miss at least another week or two. Joe Mixon will continue to be a low-end RB1 as the lead horse in the backfield. Kroft could be looking at a multi-week […]

Terrelle Pryor, Neal Sterling Limited Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor and tight end Neal Sterling were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both are on track to play in Week 6 against the Colts, but neither have significant roles in the offense. Pryor has just nine catches on 16 targets for 178 yards in five contests. He caught […]

Isaiah Crowell Missing Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle), cornerback Trumaine Johnson and wide receivers Andre Roberts and Charone Peake did not practice on Wednesday. It's unclear how serious Crowell's injury is, but he managed over 200 yards on the ground against Denver in Week 5 and could just be getting some much-needed rest. If active, […]

Is Case Keenum Holding The Broncos Back?

After a 2-0 start, the Denver Broncos have lost three straight games and are at a crossroads after five games with a daunting home matchup against the 5-0 Los Angeles Rams on deck in Week 6. The downfall started with a road loss at Baltimore and a heartbreaking home defeat to the Chiefs and star […]

Danny Salazar Could Resume Throwing In November

Cleveland Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said starting pitcher Danny Salazar (shoulder) could resume throwing in November after having right shoulder surgery in July. He'll initially be built up as a starter, but he could be asked to pitch in relief depending on the team's needs. Salazar did not pitch at all this year after […]

Chris Sale, David Price To Start First Two Games Of ALCS

Boston Red Sox starting pitchers Chris Sale and David Price will start the first two games of the American League Championship Series against the Astros. Price was very shaky in his start in the Division Series against the Yankees, allowing three runs (two homers) in just 1 2/3 innings in Game 2. The left-hander is […]

DeVante Parker Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Parker, the subject of trade rumors of late, was limited in practice last week but did not play. He has a better chance of returning in Week 6 in a tough matchup against the Bears. Parker has played in just one game […]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Doesn't Expect To Return In 2019

Green Bay Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix doesn't expect to be back with the team in 2019. “Right now, I’m playing each and every game like it’s my last. I don’t think I’m going to be here next year,” Clinton-Dix said Monday, one day after the Packers fell to 2-2-1 with a loss at Detroit. […]

O.J. Howard Practicing With Knee Brace

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is practicing with a knee brace on Wednesday despite his MCL sprain. It's a good sign, but Howard is still expected to miss several weeks. Cameron Brate will see more targets as a result and should be considered a low-end TE1 in a great matchup against the […]

Corey Clement Will Play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) practiced in full all week and is off the final injury report for Thursday night against the Giants. Clement will return after missing the last two weeks, and he should be in line for a sizeable role alongside Wendell Smallwood with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the season. […]

Darren Sproles Out Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Giants. The veteran back hasn't played since being injured in Week 1, although he could return after more rest in Week 7. Those that lost out on waiver claims for Wendell Smallwood and Corey […]

Olivier Vernon, Aldrick Rosas Not On Injury Report

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) were both limited in practice on Wednesday but have been taken off the final injury report for Thursday's game against the Eagles. Vernon will make his season debut after battling a high ankle sprain, and he'll be a huge boost to a […]

Rhett Ellison Questionable Against Eagles

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (foot) was limited in practice the last two days and is questionable for Thursday night against the Eagles. Ellison should be able to play. He's been the main tight end with Evan Engram (knee) out, but he hasn't been relevant in fantasy with 11 catches on 14 targets […]

Evan Engram, Russell Shepard Out For Week 6

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) and wide receiver Russell Shepard (neck) both missed practice on Wednesday and have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Eagles. Engram was limited the two previous days, so he has a great shot at returning next week, where he'll be back on the TE1 radar. […]

Leonard Fournette Could Sit Out Through Bye Week

The Jacksonville Jaguars are considering sitting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out through their Week 9 bye. Fournette was already ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys on Wednesday, and there is concern for him re-injuring his right hamstring. He hurt his leg initially in Week 1 and aggravated it in the second half […]

Nationals Acquire Kyle Barraclough

The Washington Nationals acquired relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for international bonus pool money. Barraclough struggled in 2018 and was removed from the closer's role eventually. He finished with a 4.20 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 10 saves and a career-low 9.7 K/9 over 61 outings (55 2/3 innings). The […]

Lamar Miller Says He'll Play

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) said he will definitely play in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active last Sunday night but didn't play at all, and he's been a disappointment to fantasy owners with no rushing touchdowns in four games. If he continues to struggle, D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) could be in […]

Greg Olsen Practicing Wednesday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is practicing on Wednesday as he attempts to return from his injury in Week 6 against the Redskins. Olsen is expected to return this Sunday, although he could be eased back into action. Regardless, at an extremely thin position, fantasy owners should be starting Olsen if he's active […]

Brad Ziegler Announces Retirement

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Brad Ziegler announced his retirement from baseball on Wednesday. The veteran sidearmer turned 39 on Wednesday and finished 2018 with a 3.91 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10 saves and a 6.1 K/9 over a career-high 82 appearances (73 2/3 innings). He'll finish his 11-year career with a 2.75 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 105 […]

Denzel Ward Continues To Impress

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the fourth overall pick, continues to impress with his overall play through five games in his rookie season. “He was everywhere,” defensive end Myles Garrett said. “He had a game just like he did in the first game of the season, where he was ball hawking and on top […]

Rashaad Penny The Third Option In Seattle Backfield

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the team's first-round pick, played zero offensive snaps and just one snap on special teams in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. Seattle has rediscovered their ground game with an NFL-leading 473 yards in the last three games, but Penny has not been very involved. He has […]

Dak Prescott Struggling With Accuracy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has struggled with his accuracy, and he has just 961 yards passing through five games with a 61.8 completion percentage and an 81.4 passer rating. He has just five touchdown passes on the year with four interceptions and a fumble, but he does have 121 rushing yards and a score […]

Deshaun Watson Has Chance To Play Against Bills

When asked if Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) had a chance to play in Week 6 against the Bills, head coach Bill O'Brien said, "Oh yeah." Houston is being rather coy about how seriously Watson was injured after taking multiple heavy hits on scrambles against the Cowboys on Sunday night. He might miss some […]

T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle Remain Week-To-Week

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and tight end Jack Doyle (hip) remain week-to-week. It doesn't sound like either player is close to returning for Week 6 against the Jets, but we'll have to wait and see how much they can do in practice this week. If neither play […]

49ers Work Out Running Backs

The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at […]
