The Eagles, Patriots and Steelers are among the teams exploring their options. The Giants and Raiders are both well out of the […]

Jets Unlikely To Land Patrick Peterson

The Arizona Cardinals fielded an inquiry from the New York Jets on cornerback Patrick Peterson, according to a source. However, the Cardinals aren't trading Peterson to the Jets, barring a miracle. The Jets are in desperate need of secondary help with cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Buster Skrine and safety Marcus Maye all currently injury, but […]

Albert Wilson Likely To Land On Injured Reserve

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) won't need surgery, he's still likely to be placed on Injured Reserve to give him time to recover, according to a source. He won't be eligible to return for eight weeks, so fantasy owners that added him last week off waivers will need to dump him already. […]

Everson Griffen Returning To Team

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who has been away from the team since Sept. 20 to deal with his personal health, will resume activities with the team on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Griffen will play in Week 8 against the Saints, but it's a step in the right direction for a […]

Geoff Swaim, Zack Martin Have Sprained Knees

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) and right guard Zack Martin (knee) have both been diagnosed with sprained MCLs. The good news is that the Cowboys are on bye in Week 8, but MCL sprains typically can cost a player anywhere from two to four weeks of missed time. That means that both Swaim […]

Mauricio Dubon On Track For Spring Training

Milwaukee Brewers middle infield prospect Mauricio Dubon (knee), the team's No. 7 prospect, is on track to be ready for the start of spring training, according to general manager David Stearns. Dubon's season ended prematurely in May when he tore his ACL. The 24-year-old was hitting .343/.348/.574 with four home runs, 18 RBI and six […]

Josh Hader To Stay In Bullpen In 2019

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader will remain in the bullpen next season, according to general manager David Stearns. Hader initially came up as a top starting pitching prospect for Milwaukee, but he has hit his stride in a relief role and is especially devastating against lefties. He went 6-1 with a 2.43 ERA, 0.81 […]

Rafael Devers Starting In Game 1 Tuesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is starting at the hot corner and is batting sixth in Game 1 of the World Series against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday. Devers hit just .229 with three of his 21 home runs this year against left-handers, but he has also been hot this postseason and […]

Brian Dozier Leading Off In Game 1 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier is starting at second base and is hitting leadoff in Game 1 of the World Series against Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale on Tuesday. David Freese is also starting at first base and hitting third, while Joc Pederson, Max Muncy, Cody Bellinger and Yasmani Grandal will start on […]

Geoff Swaim Undergoing MRI

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) was injured in the Week 7 loss to the Redskins and is undergoing an MRI exam on Tuesday. Swaim will not practice this week during the bye, but Garrett is hopeful that Swaim's injury is a short-term one. Swaim has been the team's […]

Eli Manning Remains Giants Starter

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning will remain the team's starter going forward. Manning had a season-high 399 yards in the Monday night loss to the Falcons, but he had just one touchdown and remains inefficient in the red zone. New York's brutal offensive line isn't helping his cause, […]

Raiders Signing Daniel Carlson

The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent kicker Daniel Carlson on Tuesday, according to a source. They are moving on from Matthew McCrane. Carlson was drafted in the fifth round by the Vikings this year before being cut after going 1-for-4 on field-goal tries in the first two games of his career. With Oakland's offense sputtering and […]

Derek Barnett Done For The Season

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett (shoulder) is having season-ending shoulder surgery on Tuesday, according to a source. The former first-round pick had 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks on the season, so his loss is a blow to the Eagles defensive line moving forward. However, their defense/special teams will remain a strong play in Week […]

John Ross To Miss A Few Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) is expected to miss a few weeks after aggravating his groin injury in Week 7, according to a source. Ross continues to frustrate fantasy owners with injuries and inconsistency. He can be dropped in most mixed leagues at this point. Alex Erickson should see an expanded role in […]

Rays Working To Sign Sandy Gaston

The Tampa Bay Rays are working to sign Cuban free-agent 16-year-old pitcher Sandy Gaston, and some reports have an agreement pending on a $2.6 million deal. Nothing has been finalized yet. Gaston was the third most coveted international prospect behind Victor Victor Mesa and Victor Mesa Jr., who both agreed with the Marlins on Monday. […]

Scott Alexander Added To World Series Roster

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander has been added to the World Series roster in favor of Caleb Ferguson. Alexander was curiously left off the NLCS roster against the Brewers in favor of young lefty Julio Urias, but he's back now for the World Series against the Red Sox. Alexander, another lefty, had a […]

Drew Pomeranz Gets Nod Over Steven Wright

Boston Red Sox pitcher Drew Pomeranz has been added to the World Series roster over Steven Wright (knee). Reliever Brandon Workman has been removed from the roster as a result. Wright needs offseason knee surgery, but he proved that he could pitch in a simulated game over the weekend. Ultimately, it looks like the Red […]

Donnel Pumphrey Added To Active Roster

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Donnel Pumphrey to their active roster on Tuesday. A fourth-round pick out of San Diego State last year, Pumphrey has yet to play in a regular season game. This move speaks to the fact that Darren Sproles (hamstring) doesn't appear close to returning after injuring himself in the season opener. […]

Saints Acquire Eli Apple

The New Orleans Saints acquired cornerback Eli Apple from the New York Giants on Tuesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2019 and a seventh-round pick in 2020, according to a source. Apple hasn't played that well in 2018, but it's a small upgrade for a Saints secondary that could use some help. New […]

Frank Clark Willing To Wait For Deal

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark and his agent, Erik Burkhardt, are willing to wait as he tries to secure a long-term deal as one of the league's highest paid pass rushers, even if it means playing on the franchise tag next year. "Just to do an early deal for the sake of doing an […]

Chad Kelly Charged With Criminal Trespassing

Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly was charged with first-degree criminal trespassing. This doesn't look good for the backup who the Broncos wanted to see some playing time in the second half of this season. Kelly was the final pick of the 2017 draft and also had some off-field issues while in college. It's unclear […]

Jets Sign Rishard Matthews

The New York Jets are signing free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews on Tuesday, according to a source. Matthews fell out of favor with the new coaching staff in Tennessee despite going for 65 catches, 945 yards and nine touchdowns just two seasons ago. There is opportunity in New York with Quincy Enunwa (ankle) out a […]

Elijah McGuire Designated To Return From IR

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire (foot) returned to practice last week and has been designated as one of the team's players to return from Injured Reserve. McGuire missed the entire preseason and hasn't played yet this year. As a rookie in 2017, he rushed 88 times for 315 yards and a touchdown while […]

Tyler Ervin To See More Time In Slot

Houston Texans running back Tyler Ervin, who has primarily been a return specialist for the team, is expected to see more looks out of the slot with rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) expected to sit out on Thursday night against the Dolphins. "He's a very smart player, so we'll see how that goes for […]

Derek Carr Losing The Locker Room?

There have been rumblings that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a "fractured relationship" with his teammates and has lost the locker room following his poor play to begin the year. "The belief in him has deteriorated, perhaps to irreparable levels," Thompson writes. "It’s hard to see how Carr can lead this team again." There […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Practice Tuesday

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will be incorporated into practice on Tuesday. While they might not be full participants, it's a good sign after they were both close to playing before the Week 7 bye. We'd expect them both to play in […]

Ketel Marte Is An Option To Play Center Field

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is an option to move to center field next year if A.J. Pollock departs in free agency, which is expected. In that scenario, Marte moving to the outfield would open up second base duties on a daily basis for Eduardo Escobar, who signed a three-year deal on Monday. Marte […]

Seung Hwan Oh Expected To Pitch For Rockies In 2019

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh is expected to pitch for the team in 2019, according to general manager Jeff Bridich. Oh told reporters in South Korea last week that he was considering returning to pitch in his home country in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). “From what we have been told, it was […]

Rangers Not Expected To Give Qualifying Offer To Adrian Beltre

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre has yet to make a decision on retirement, but general manager Jon Daniels said he doesn't expect to offer the veteran a qualifying offer after the World Series. However, if Beltre decides to come back for another year, the Rangers will work out the right contract. Beltre spent multiple […]

Diamondbacks Re-Sign Eduardo Escobar To Three-Year Deal

The Arizona Diamondbacks re-signed infielder Eduardo Escobar to a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday. The 29-year-old was acquired by Arizona in July and helped fill in at third base for the injured Jake Lamb, hitting .268/.327/.444 in 54 games. Lamb is expected to be healthy for spring training, but Escobar also gives the team […]
