Corey Clement Will Play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) practiced in full all week and is off the final injury report for Thursday night against the Giants. Clement will return after missing the last two weeks, and he should be in line for a sizeable role alongside Wendell Smallwood with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the season. […]

Darren Sproles Out Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Giants. The veteran back hasn't played since being injured in Week 1, although he could return after more rest in Week 7. Those that lost out on waiver claims for Wendell Smallwood and Corey […]

Olivier Vernon, Aldrick Rosas Not On Injury Report

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) were both limited in practice on Wednesday but have been taken off the final injury report for Thursday's game against the Eagles. Vernon will make his season debut after battling a high ankle sprain, and he'll be a huge boost to a […]

Rhett Ellison Questionable Against Eagles

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (foot) was limited in practice the last two days and is questionable for Thursday night against the Eagles. Ellison should be able to play. He's been the main tight end with Evan Engram (knee) out, but he hasn't been relevant in fantasy with 11 catches on 14 targets […]

Evan Engram, Russell Shepard Out For Week 6

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) and wide receiver Russell Shepard (neck) both missed practice on Wednesday and have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Eagles. Engram was limited the two previous days, so he has a great shot at returning next week, where he'll be back on the TE1 radar. […]

Leonard Fournette Could Sit Out Through Bye Week

The Jacksonville Jaguars are considering sitting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out through their Week 9 bye. Fournette was already ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys on Wednesday, and there is concern for him re-injuring his right hamstring. He hurt his leg initially in Week 1 and aggravated it in the second half […]

Nationals Acquire Kyle Barraclough

The Washington Nationals acquired relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for international bonus pool money. Barraclough struggled in 2018 and was removed from the closer's role eventually. He finished with a 4.20 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 10 saves and a career-low 9.7 K/9 over 61 outings (55 2/3 innings). The […]

Lamar Miller Says He'll Play

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) said he will definitely play in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active last Sunday night but didn't play at all, and he's been a disappointment to fantasy owners with no rushing touchdowns in four games. If he continues to struggle, D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) could be in […]

Greg Olsen Practicing Wednesday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is practicing on Wednesday as he attempts to return from his injury in Week 6 against the Redskins. Olsen is expected to return this Sunday, although he could be eased back into action. Regardless, at an extremely thin position, fantasy owners should be starting Olsen if he's active […]

Brad Ziegler Announces Retirement

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Brad Ziegler announced his retirement from baseball on Wednesday. The veteran sidearmer turned 39 on Wednesday and finished 2018 with a 3.91 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10 saves and a 6.1 K/9 over a career-high 82 appearances (73 2/3 innings). He'll finish his 11-year career with a 2.75 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 105 […]

Denzel Ward Continues To Impress

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the fourth overall pick, continues to impress with his overall play through five games in his rookie season. “He was everywhere,” defensive end Myles Garrett said. “He had a game just like he did in the first game of the season, where he was ball hawking and on top […]

Rashaad Penny The Third Option In Seattle Backfield

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the team's first-round pick, played zero offensive snaps and just one snap on special teams in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. Seattle has rediscovered their ground game with an NFL-leading 473 yards in the last three games, but Penny has not been very involved. He has […]

Dak Prescott Struggling With Accuracy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has struggled with his accuracy, and he has just 961 yards passing through five games with a 61.8 completion percentage and an 81.4 passer rating. He has just five touchdown passes on the year with four interceptions and a fumble, but he does have 121 rushing yards and a score […]

Deshaun Watson Has Chance To Play Against Bills

When asked if Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) had a chance to play in Week 6 against the Bills, head coach Bill O'Brien said, "Oh yeah." Houston is being rather coy about how seriously Watson was injured after taking multiple heavy hits on scrambles against the Cowboys on Sunday night. He might miss some […]

T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle Remain Week-To-Week

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and tight end Jack Doyle (hip) remain week-to-week. It doesn't sound like either player is close to returning for Week 6 against the Jets, but we'll have to wait and see how much they can do in practice this week. If neither play […]

49ers Work Out Running Backs

The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at […]

Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown Haven't Been On Same Page

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown leads the league with 21 incompletions on inaccurate passes from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. It's somewhat concerning that Brown and Big Ben haven't hooked up more often this year, but the two connected for two second-half touchdowns in the Week 5 win over the Falcons, and Brown had his first […]

Ben Roethlisberger Goes To Bat For James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks running back James Conner absolutely needs to remain in the game plan when Le'Veon Bell returns from his holdout in Week 8. Conner had 110 rushing yards, 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 and has been great in Bell's absence. “And I will push for James […]

Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood Could Mix and Match

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use running backs Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood in a tandem approach on Thursday night against the Giants. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Zach Berman believes the Eagles trust Smallwood much more than they did last year and have been happy with the way he's played in 2018. Clement is the […]

Leonard Fournette Officially Ruled Out For Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Fournette's disappointing season continues, and he's not necessarily a lock to return in Week 7 either. Until he's back, T.J. Yeldon will continue to be the man in the backfield and […]

T.J. Yeldon Will Continue Being Workhorse

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon will continue to be the main man in the backfield as long as Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is out. Yeldon played 77 snaps on offense in Week 5 against the Chiefs. With Fournette expected to sit out again this weekend against Dallas, Yeldon will be backed up by Jamaal Charles […]

Health Didn't Limit Doug Baldwin To One Catch In Week 5

Even though Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is unlikely to be 100 percent healthy all year, both he and head coach Pete Carroll said that's not what limited the receiver to just one catch in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. It was just the way the game played out and the […]

Cody Latimer Off The Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday and has been taken off the final injury report for this Thursday's game against the Eagles. Latimer didn't play any snaps last week against the Panthers and has only three catches on five targets for 56 yards in three […]

Reds Interview Tom Prince For Managerial Position

The Cincinnati Reds interviewed Pittsburgh Pirates bench coach Tom Prince for their managerial opening. Prince would have to be considered somewhat of a long shot for this job considering some of the other names that have mentioned, such as David Bell, Joe Girardi, John Farrell, Jim Riggleman and Brad Ausmus, among others. The Reds are […]

Ehire Adrianza Out 3-4 Months

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins infielder Ehire Adrianza (shoulder) had surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder on Tuesday and will be out three to four months. It's the reason why he wasn't switch hitting at the end of the year. The good news is that it's to Adrianza's non-throwing shoulder. […]

Dansby Swanson Prescribed Rest

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) was prescribed rest and he's not expected to have any long-term concerns. "Talking to the doctors, he just needs rest and time. He just needs to heal and he should be fine. It's just something that will take a while. He'll continue treatment and rest […]

J.A. Happ Available In Relief In Game 4

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ is available to pitch in relief in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Happ had a disaster of a start in Game 1 on Friday, allowing five earned runs on four hits in just two innings of the loss. Even […]

Titans Release Nick Williams, Austin Davis

The Tennessee Titans released wide receiver Nick Williams and quarterback Austin Davis on Tuesday. Williams dropped a potential game-winning touchdown in Week 5. He played in two games for the Titans this year and has only 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Davis is no longer needed with Blaine Gabbert […]

Kayvon Webster Headed To Injured Reserve

Houston Texans cornerback Kayvon Webster (quadriceps) is being placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Defensive back and special teamer Mike Tyson has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Webster had just made his season debut in Week 5 on Sunday night. It's another big loss for a […]

K.J. Wright Won't Return In Week 6

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) will run hard this week but won't play in Week 6 against the Raiders. Wright has yet to play this year after having surgery late in training camp. They could really use his presence alongside Bobby Wagner now that Mychal Kendricks is suspended indefinitely […]
