Connor Sadzeck To Serve As Opener Friday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Connor Sadzeck will serve as the opener on Friday against the Mariners, with Ariel Jurado following him. Sadzeck hasn't allowed a run while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings in eight outings (one start) for the Rangers this year, but he isn't on the fantasy radar in an opening role. […]

Chance Sisco Won't Go On Road Trip

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (concussion) will not travel with the team unless he's cleared from the concussion protocol. With Baltimore having nothing to play for, it doesn't make sense for them to rush their young catcher back. Sisco is hitting just .181/.288/.269 with two home runs and 16 RBI in 160 at-bats for Baltimore […]

Chris Davis Has Stiff Neck

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (neck) is out of the starting lineup with a stiff neck on Wednesday. It doesn't sound lIke Davis' injury will keep him out for long, so consider the power hitter day-to-day. He continues to be a massive disappointment, hitting an embarrassing .171/.246/.302 with only 16 […]

Austin Romine Available Off Bench

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine (neck) was unavailable on Tuesday after he woke up with stiffness in his neck. However, he's feeling better on Wednesday and is expected to be available off the bench. Romine was a decent fill-in for Gary Sanchez when he was injured earlier this year, and he has hit .248/.302/.430 […]

James Paxton, Felix Hernandez To Throw Bullpens On Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitchers James Paxton (illness) and Felix Hernandez (hamstring) will both rejoin the team and throw bullpen sessions on Friday before manager Scott Servais decides whether they'll start in the final week of the season. Paxton would like to get to two more starts to push his innings up to around 160 for […]

Cardinals Work Out Kendall Wright

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said the team worked out free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright, but the team will not sign him. The Cardinals haven't been happy with the production from their receivers behind Larry Fitzgerald, but the whole offense has been dreadful so far and has produced just six points in two weeks. […]

Patriots Add Corey Coleman To Practice Squad

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Corey Coleman to their practice squad on Wednesday after releasing him. Coleman has been tossed around like a rag doll on the NFL transaction list so far this year after proving to be a first-round bust in Cleveland. He is well off the fantasy radar.

Tommylee Lewis Placed On Injured Reserve

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Tommylee Lewis (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he injured his knee in Week 2 against the Browns. Lewis didn't have any catches in the two games this season. He wasn't a fantasy factor to begin with.

Darius Slay Misses Practice, Ezekiel Ansah Limited

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday, while defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) was limited. If Slay, the team's best defensive back, can't play in Week 3, it'd be a big upgrade for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Chris Hogan. Ansah sat out last weekend and is the team's […]

Everson Griffen Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Griffen had a career-high 13 sacks in 2017 and has a full sack through two weeks in 2018. It's unknown if he'll be in danger of missing Week 3 against the Bills, but if he does, it'll be good news for rookie quarterback […]

ArDarius Stewart Waived By Jets

The New York Jets waived wide receiver Ardarius Stewart on Wednesday. Stewart is coming off a two-game suspension. The third-round pick in 2017 had five catches and 41 yards in the preseason and brought down six catches for 82 yards in 15 games last season. He can continue being avoided in fantasy and might struggle […]

Ted Ginn Limited In Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Receiver Tommylee Lewis (knee) did not practice. Ginn should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Falcons. The 33-year-old has nine catches on 13 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown through the first two weeks of the season. […]

Alex Collins, C.J. Mosley Miss Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (illness) and linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Broncos, where he'll be more of an RB3/flex type. He's averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on 16 attempts through two weeks and has lost a lot […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Limited

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, thumb), Will Fuller (hamstring), Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring), tight end Ryan Griffin (hip) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Both Hopkins and Fuller should be fine to play in a strong Week 3 matchup against the Giants and […]

Chad Kuhl Undergoes Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (elbow) underwent elbow surgery on Wednesday. It's unknown what the exact surgery is that Kuhl had, so stay tuned for details of the surgery and how long the right-hander might have to miss. Kuhl hadn't started since late June and had a 4.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 81 strikeouts […]

Addison Reed To Go On Paternity List

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Addison Reed will go on the paternity list to finish this week and will not travel west with the team after Wednesday's game. He'll have until Sept. 25 to return to the team for the final homestand of the season. Reed has struggled this year to a 4.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP […]

Josh Rogers Done For The Year

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Josh Rogers is being shut down for the rest of the season, according to manager Buck Showalter. Rogers struggled in his first three big league starts, posting an 8.49 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with just six strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings. However, the left-hander has promise at this level and should […]

Shane Bieber Moving To Bullpen?

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona hinted that starting pitcher Shane Bieber could be moving to the bullpen to close out the season. "We think that he's not being 'relegated' to the bullpen. He'd be going there to help us win," Francona said. Bieber will come out of the bullpen after Trevor Bauer pitches an inning […]

Jose Abreu Released From Hospital

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (thigh) was released from the hospital on Wednesday but will be out for the team's current series that finishes up on Thursday. Abreu was dealing with an infection on his thigh, but he could be available to play as soon as Friday. If he's back in the starting […]

Welington Castillo Scratched With Elbow Soreness

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo (elbow) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday due to left elbow soreness. Kevan Smith will replace him behind the dish and hit seventh against Indians starter Carlos Carrasco. Smith isn't much of a hitter and should be avoided in DFS formats in a bad matchup. It's […]

Ryan Braun Dealing With Back Issues

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (back) is dealing with back issues and is not in the lineup again on Wednesday. With Lorenzo Cain also out, Curtis Granderson will play left field and lead off against Reds starter Matt Harvey. Domingo Santana is in right field and is hitting fifth. Both Granderson and Santana are worth […]

Derrick Henry, Taylor Lewan Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (back), offensive tackles Taylor Lewan (concussion) and Jack Conklin (knee) and tight end Luke Stocker (calf) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Henry has disappointed with just 2.9 yards per carry on 28 attempts through two weeks, and he has just one reception. With the offensive line still banged […]

Josh Gordon Limited In First Patriots Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday in his first practice with his new team. Gordon should be able to play in Week 3 on Sunday night against the Lions, but how much can fantasy owners really expect from him? It's hard to say, and it all depends on how […]

Dalvin Cook Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday and said he's taking it "day by day." Cook dealt with hamstring cramps in overtime in Week 2, but it's not believed to be something that will keep him out in Week 3 in a cushy matchup against the Bills. […]

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) did not get in a practice on Wednesday. The Packers will probably take it easy on Rodgers as he fights through a knee injury early in the season. Don't be surprised if he doesn't practice again until Saturday. We fully expect him to suit up again, though, and […]

Browns Ready For Antonio Callaway To Step Up

The Cleveland Browns are counting on rookie Antonio Callaway to step up as the X receiver after the team traded Josh Gordon to the Patriots this week. He showcased his ability in Week 2 with a 47-yard touchdown catch against the Saints. “He is making strides,” head coach Hue Jackson said Tuesday as the Browns […]

Anthony Castonzo Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Castonzo was looking set to return in Week 2 but had a setback in the middle of the week. He's off to a bad start again this week as he looks to make his season debut. If he sits out again, Le'Raven Clark, […]

Julio Jones Does Not Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Jones had 10 catches on 19 targets for 169 yards in Week 1, but he fell to five catches on nine targets for 64 yards in Week 2 and still hasn't scored yet. We're guessing his calf injury isn't all that […]

Trevor Bauer To Start Friday

The Cleveland Indians will activate starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) from the disabled list in order to start on Friday against the Red Sox, according to manager Terry Francona. However, Bauer is only expected to go a couple innings and will be followed by starter Shane Bieber out of the bullpen. Bauer's next start could […]

Reshad Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday, but head coach Adam Gase said Jones is day-to-day. Jones has six tackles and two interceptions on the season and is a top IDP safety when he's healthy. His absence would be an upgrade to Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and the deep passing game, including […]
