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 […]

Golden Tate Should Be Fine For Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (ankle) put in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. There doesn't seem to be any questions about whether Tate will suit up against the Seahawks. Running back Ameer Abdullah (ankle) was also a full participant on Thursday. Tate has had two straight subpar games after […]

Darren Sproles Ruled Out For London Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) is not traveling with the team to London and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Jaguars. There remains no timetable for Sproles, who hasn't played or practiced since injuring himself in the season opener. With Jay Ajayi also done for the year, the Eagles have […]

Ryan Grant Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Grant looks doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Raiders after missing Week 7. He has 26 catches on 37 targets for 270 yards and one score on the season, but he's not much of a fantasy option […]

Adam Vinatieri Testing Groin In Practice

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) tested his groin at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. However, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be active in Week 8 against the Raiders. The veteran needs just five points to tie the all-time scoring record. Vinatieri aggravated his groin injury in Week 7 against the Bills […]

Redskins Hopeful Paul Richardson Will Play

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said the team is "hopeful" that wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) will play in Week 8 against the Giants after sitting out in Week 7. With Jamison Crowder unlikely to play again this Sunday, Richardson has a chance to be the No. 1 wideout for quarterback Alex Smith. […]

No Doubt About Cam Newton's Status For Week 8

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said "there is no doubt" that quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) will play in Week 8 against the Ravens. Newton didn't throw in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, but he remained limited. Baltimore is one of the better defenses in the NFL and allow the […]

Blue Jays To Name Charlie Montoyo As Manager

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to name Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Charlie Montoyo as their next manager, according to a source. The 53-year-old will take over a Blue Jays team that has some impressive young talent in the farm system, namely baseball's top prospect in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Toronto fired John Gibbons after […]

Chris Ivory, Derek Anderson Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) and quarterback Derek Anderson (back, calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday. With LeSean McCoy looking likely to clear the concussion protocol and play on Monday night against the Patriots, Ivory won't be much of a fantasy option. Anderson was horrible in his first start for the […]

Larry Fitzgerald Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after being rested on Wednesday. The veteran wideout is unlikely to practice much on Wednesdays as the team looks to keep him fresh. Fitzgerald has had back-to-back games with eight targets and scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 7. However, […]

Franklyn Kilome Has Tommy John Surgery

New York Mets pitching prospect Franklyn Kilome (elbow), the team's No. 5 prospect, underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2019 season. Kilome was acquired from the Phillies in the trade involving infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. The 23-year-old right-hander had gone 4-9 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 in 26 starts […]

Bilal Powell Expected To Make Full Recovery

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck) is expected to make a full recovery and play again, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Powell is undergoing season-ending neck surgery after getting hurt in Week 7. Whether he plays again for the Jets is another question, as Powell will be a free agent after this […]

Robby Anderson In Danger Of Missing Week 8

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Anderson must get in a practice on Friday to have any chance of playing in Week 8 against the Bears. With Quincy Enunwa (ankle) also out and Terrelle Pryor no longer on the team, New York's wide […]

Quincy Enunwa Ruled Out For Week 8

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) has yet to practice this week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Enunwa suffered a high ankle sprain on Oct. 14 against the Colts and could miss another game or two. While most fantasy owners have probably dropped him at this point, […]

Royce Freeman Missing From Practice Again

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Freeman is dealing with a high ankle sprain and could be in danger of missing multiple games after getting hurt last Thursday. Plan to be without him this Sunday against the Chiefs. With Freeman unlikely to […]
