Joe Mixon Injures Knee Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) injured his knee on Thursday against the Ravens and is questionable to return. Mixon also left the game in the first half for a series to be checked on. Before leaving he had 14 carries for 48 yards and added one catch for three yards. Mixon didn't look […]

C.J. Mosley Doubtful To Return

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his knee and is doubtful to return on Thursday against the Bengals. While Mosley is unlikely to finish off the game, it's good news in the long run for Baltimore's defense and Mosley's IDP owners. He won't be a lock to play […]

Seung Hwan Oh Dealing With Tight Hamstring

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh (hamstring) has been fighting left hamstring tightness for the last couple of days and wasn't used in the series against the Diamondbacks as a result. Manager Bud Black said Oh is day-to-day. “I’m feeling good,” Oh said. “I’ve done all the testing with the trainers, and there’s no […]

Eduardo Nunez Leaves Game Early Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game early on Thursday with right knee soreness, but he's being listed as day-to-day. Nunez had a double in two plate appearances before departing this contest. He's hitting .262/.287/.387 with 10 home runs, 55 runs scored, 44 RBI and seven steals on the season and should […]

C.J. Mosley Injures Knee Thursday

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) left the game early on Thursday with a knee injury. Mosley came into this week as a top-10 IDP linebacker, so a serious injury would be a huge loss for both the Ravens defense and Mosley's IDP owners. Check back for updates on the severity of Mosley's knee injury […]

Seahawks Sign Mychal Kendricks

The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent linebacker Mychal Kendricks to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to sources. Kendricks was released by the Browns after he was charged with insider trading. With K.J. Wright still out with an injury, Kendricks is expected to play in Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. Kendricks spent the […]

Tyler Skaggs Throws Simulated Game

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (groin) threw a 48-pitch simulated game on Thursday, but no decision has been made on his next step. There's no guarantee that the left-hander will make any more starts this season for the Halos or for fantasy owners. He hasn't pitched since Aug. 11 against the A's, but […]

James Paxton Dealing With Form Of Pneumonia

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is dealing with a "form of pneumonia" and is not with the team on their road trip against the Angels this weekend. Manager Scott Servais is hoping that Paxton is back during the 10-game road trip. The left-hander has been the team's best pitcher, so this is also […]

Kyle Freeland Pitches Through Calf Cramp

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (calf) dealt with a cramp that got progressively worse in his start against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, according to manager Bud Black. However, there is no cause for concern. The left-hander was solid on Thursday, allowing four hits and three earned runs while striking out six over 6 1/3 […]

Marshawn Lynch Upgraded To Full Practice

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) and wide receiver Brandon LaFell (back) were both upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Receiver Dwayne Harris (foot) was limited for the second straight day. Lynch was never expected to be in danger of missing Week 2 against the Broncos. Consider him […]

Robert Griffin III Inactive In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Bengals on Thursday. RG3 was also a healthy scratch in the season opener. Athletic rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson remains the direct backup to Joe Flacco, and he'll likely have some packages to work with again on […]

Mark Walton, Cody Core Inactive On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Mark Walton and wide receivers Cody Core and Auden Tate are all inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens on Thursday. All three were also inactive in the season opener against the Colts and are nowhere near the fantasy radar, for obvious reasons.

Marquise Goodwin Does Not Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goodwin will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have any chance of suiting up for Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin was a popular breakout player in fantasy drafts, but he […]

Travis Benjamin Out Again

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Benjamin is trending in the wrong direction heading into Week 2 against the Bills. The deep threat had just one catch on five targets for one yard in the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs. He's a boom/bust […]

Colts Waive Erik Swoope

The Indianapolis Colts waived tight end Erik Swoope on Thursday and promoted defensive tackle Jihad Ward from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Swoope had just one catch for 13 yards in the season opener and was behind Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron on the depth chart.

Davante Adams Feels Great

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) said he feels "great" after being limited in practice on Thursday, but he also said he's still "day-to-day." “It’s still day to day. I felt good today at practice, so we just have to keep making progress til Sunday and hopefully I’ll be ready to run," Adams […]

Anthony Castonzo Out Thursday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. That is not good news as Castonzo attempts to make his season debut in Week 2 against the Redskins. It'd also be bad news for quarterback Andrew Luck if his blind-side protector is out for the second straight […]

Jack Conklin, Taylor Lewan Miss Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans offensive tackles Jack Conklin (knee) and Taylor Lewan (concussion) both missed practice on Thursday. Conklin was limited on Wednesday, so this isn't a good sign for his status heading into Week 2 against the Texans. The Titans offensive line is in bad shape if they miss their left and right tackles this weekend. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Sore After Opener

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said he felt "pretty sore" after his first start in Week 1 since breaking his ankle last October. However, OBJ impressed his owners with his 11-catch, 111-yard performance against the Jaguars. All things considered, Beckham's Week 1 performance was very solid with Jags shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey […]

Clay Buchholz Scratched With Elbow Stiffness

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (elbow) was scratched from his start against the Rockies on Thursday due to right elbow stiffness. It's a tough break for a team that is running out of time to make up ground in the National League West race. Buchholz has been lights-out for the Snakes and fantasy owners […]

Austin Dean Scratched From First Game

Miami Marlins outfielder Austin Dean (illness) was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Mets due to nausea. Dean has hit just .194/.237/.361 with three home runs and nine RBI in his first 21 games at the big league level. He was replaced in left field by Rafael Ortega for […]

Trai Turner Remains Out

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) didn't practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's looking doubtful that Turner will be able to play in Week 2 against the Falcons. Carolina's offensive line is already without left tackle Matt Kalil and right tackle Daryl Williams, so losing Turner for a game will be […]

C.J. Anderson Returns To Full Practice

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Anderson should be fine for Week 2 against the Falcons. He had only seven carries for 35 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and didn't have a single target in the passing game. While his efficiency was […]

Ben Roethlisberger Misses Another Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) missed his second straight practice on Thursday and is unsure if he will practice on Friday. Offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner is hopeful that backup Joshua Dobbs would be ready to go if needed for Week 2 against the Chiefs. Big Ben said he'd be fine to play this weekend […]

Martavis Bryant Says He'll Be Ready

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who was re-signed on Tuesday, says he'll be ready for Week 2 against the Broncos. Bryant was a disaster in training camp and was outplayed by practice squad players. He should help Oakland's offense stretch the field, but quarterback Derek Carr has proved inept at connecting with his receivers […]

DeVante Parker, Danny Amendola Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (finger) and Danny Amendola both practiced in full on Thursday. Parker was limited on Wednesday, while Amendola was rested. Parker sat out Week 1 and missed a lot of training camp and the preseason, so it's fair to have hesitation about starting him this weekend against the Jets. Amendola […]

No Timetable For Curtis Samuel's Return

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said it has been "so far, so good" for wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart), but there remains no timetable for his return. Samuel has yet to practice since being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat before Week 1 and doesn't appear close to returning. He's one to leave on the […]

Christian McCaffrey To Maintain Heavy Workload

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said the goal is for running back Christian McCaffrey to run between 15 to 20 times per game and to catch between six and 10 passes per game. With tight end Greg Olsen (foot) out for an extended time, McCaffrey could be even more utilized in the offense as […]

Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Return To Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (illness) and Ted Ginn (knee) were back at practice on Thursday after both sat out on Wednesday. It's a positive development and signals that both receivers should be good to go for Week 2 against the Browns. Thomas is a must-start WR1 that had an insane 16 catches […]

Leonard Fournette Could Be Game-Time Decision

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) said he could be a game-time decision for Week 2 against the Patriots. “I started running on it today (he didn’t practice). It feels good. So that’s progress. We’ll see. It’s a gametime decision... I like my chances more and more as the day has gone on," Fournette […]
