Dolphins Not Actively Shopping DeVante Parker

The Miami Dolphins are not actively shopping wide receiver Devante Parker, but they have spoken to several teams about him. He is available for the right price, but the Dolphins are comfortable with hanging onto him, too. Parker continues to deal with injuries and ineffectiveness and has been a first-round bust for the team, so […]

Carlos Hyde Could Play Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde, who was acquired from the Browns on Friday, has a chance to make his debut against the Texans in Week 7, according to sources. He received a crash course on the playbook on Friday and Saturday and could be used to spell T.J. Yeldon. Even if Hyde plays, he […]

Detrez Newsome Added To Active Roster

Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome was signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday in order to give the team insurance in case Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is unable to play in Week 7 in London against the Titans. This move isn't a good sign for Gordon's status, but fantasy owners […]

Broncos Place Ronald Leary On IR

The Denver Broncos placed left guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed center Nico Falah off the Jets practice squad in a corresponding move, according to a source. Leary has a torn Achilles and will miss the rest of the season. Max Garcia is expected to replace him on a very […]

Ezekiel Ansah Ruled Out

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Dolphins. Ansah's injury-plagued career continues on. He hasn't played since the season-opening loss to the Jets and has four tackles and a sack on the year. When healthy, Ansah is the team's best pass rusher, so they've been short-handed […]

The Miami Marlins are expected to announce the signing of Cuban prospects Victor Victor Mesa and Victor Mesa Jr. during a press conference on Monday, according to sources. Victor Victor is expected to sign for more than $5 million, while Victor Jr. is expected to sign for a bonus around $1 million. The two players […]

Mookie Betts Could Play Second Base In World Series

The Boston Red Sox are considering playing outfielder Mookie Betts at second base when the World Series shifts to the National League park.

Melvin Gordon Questionable For London Game

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is now listed as questionable for the Week 7 game in London against the Titans. Gordon was added to the injury report on Friday but got in a limited practice. Luckily for fantasy owners, the London game will kick off early Sunday morning, so owners will know […]

Rob Gronkowski Unlikely To Play Against Bears

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) is "highly unlikely" to play in Week 7 against the Bears after not traveling with the team to Chicago, according to a source. Players that don't travel with the team pretty much never play, so this is big news. Gronk owners need to find a replacement […]

Calvin Ridley, Mohamed Sanu Expected To Play Monday

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn expects wide receivers Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) to play on Monday night against the Giants, as well as defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Derrick Shelby.

Jhoulys Chacin On The Mound For Game 7 Of NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will start Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday against the Dodgers. Chacin doesn't have electric stuff, but he has the experience and often keeps opposing lineups off balance. He was the team's most consistent starter throughout the year, going 15-8 with a 3.50 ERA and […]

Walker Buehler Starting Game 7 For Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler will start Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday against the Brewers.

Jose Altuve Undergoes Right Knee Surgery

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) underwent surgery on his right knee, according to a source.

He's expected to make a full […]

Russell Shepard Questionable For Monday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Russell Shepard (neck) is questionable for Monday night against the Falcons. Shepard has just four catches on eight targets for 61 yards in five games this year, so he wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with, but his role was set to increase with Cody Latimer on Injured Reserve. […]

Mohamed Sanu Returns To Practice Saturday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) is back at practice on Saturday and is running routes after sitting out both Thursday and Friday. It remains to be seen what his status will be for the Monday night game against the Giants, but Sanu will probably be listed as questionable. Returning to practice Saturday gives […]

Marcus Cannon To Miss Week 7

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bears. Quarterback Tom Brady's protection won't be as good as usual against a strong Chicago pass rush, although All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) is questionable and was slowed by his injury […]

Brice Butler Will Return In Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brice Butler (groin) practiced in full all week and is no longer on the Week 7 injury report against the Redskins after sitting out in Week 6. While Butler could see a role against Washington, he has yet to catch a pass in 2018 and would be behind Allen Hurns, Cole […]

Ryan Tannehill's Future With Dolphins In Question

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will play again this season, but his long-term future is in doubt. Tannehill continues to battle injuries and has not lived up to expectations in the first seven weeks of the season.

Darren Sproles Ruled Out Against Panthers

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Panthers. Sproles hasn't played since injuring himself in the season opener against the Falcons. There remains no timetable for his return, so he can continue to be left to the waiver wire. Corey Clement […]

Joe Musgrove Undergoes Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (abdomen, pelvis) underwent surgery to fix the abdominal wall and to help his pelvic stress reaction heal. The Pirates expect the right-hander to be on a schedule close to a normal spring training. Musgrove was shut down late in the year due to the injury. He had his moments […]

Carlos Hyde Won't Play In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars newly-acquired running back Carlos Hyde will not play in Week 7 against the Texans after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns on Friday. With such a short turnaround to learn the offense, Hyde will be inactive this weekend. That means that T.J. Yeldon will maintain his status as an RB2 against Houston with […]

David Freese Hitting Leadoff Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman David Freese is starting at first base and is hitting leadoff in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against Brewers left-hander Wade Miley.

Leonard Fournette Expected To Return After Bye

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who is out for Week 7 against the Texans, is still on track to return after the team's Week 9 bye. The Jaguars traded for running back Carlos Hyde on Friday in order to give them insurance in case Fournette suffers another setback with his hamstring injury. Fournette […]

Mohamed Sanu Misses Another Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. If Sanu can't return to practice on Saturday, it won't be looking good for his chances of playing on Monday night against the Giants. If he's listed as questionable, he'll be too risky to use on Monday night. Sanu […]

Calvin Ridley Limited In Practice Friday

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. Ridley is just dealing with a bone bruise, so he should be able to suit up on Monday night against the Giants. He'll be more intriguing as a WR3 if Mohamed Sanu (hip) is forced to […]
