Jeremy Hill's 2018 Season Is Over

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill (knee) tore his ACL in Week 1 against the Texans and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Hill was expected to fill the short-yardage/goal-line role for the team this season, but that obviously won't happen now. Hill wasn't much of a fantasy option […]

Hayden Hurst, Kenneth Dixon Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) and running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) were both absent during the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. Neither player is expected to play this Thursday against the Bengals. Nick Boyle had three catches for 40 yards and rookie Mark Andrews had three grabs for 31 yards in the […]

Brandon Morrow To Play Catch Monday

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) said he feels good on Monday after a light bullpen session on Sunday. The right-hander will play catch on Monday. Morrow has been out since before the All-Star break. While he's getting close to a return, manager Joe Maddon is unlikely to immediately re-insert him in the ninth-inning role […]

Kevin Kiermaier Seeing Doctor Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (illness) has shown multiple symptoms and will visit with a doctor on Monday. Manager Kevin Cash is hoping it's no worse than a severe head cold. Depending on the diagnosis, Kiermaier is now in danger of missing more than just one game. He has been red-hot in the month […]

K.J. Wright Unlikely To Return In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) will run hard for the first time in practice on Monday, but Carroll said it would be a "miraculous return" if Wright played in Week 2 against the Bears next Monday. Rookie linebacker Shaquem Griffin would likely receiver another start with Wright not expected […]

Deion Jones Misses Practice Monday

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones (foot) did not practice on Monday. Jones had four tackles and an interception in Week 1 against the Eagles last Thursday. It's unclear if he'll be able to play in Week 2 against the Panthers, but if he does, he's a strong IDP choice for fantasy owners.

Kevin Johnson To Be Out A While

Houston Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson (concussion) is expected to be out four weeks, and potentially up to six weeks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Johnson has a history of concussions, suffering one on Aug. 18 and in 2017. Aaron Colvin, Kayvon Webster and Johnson Bademosi are potential replacements for Johnson. His absence will weaken […]

Kenley Jansen Will Need Offseason Surgery

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (heart) met with a cardiologist that performed his heart surgery last Thursday, and it was determined that he is 100 percent certain that Jansen will have another surgery around two weeks after the season ends. Jansen didn't join the team in Colorado for their weekend series against the Rockies, […]

Bills Haven't Named Starting QB Going Into Week 2

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he is "still going through it" at quarterback and will "continue to evaluate where we are, dotting the i's, crossing the t's and taking it one step at a time." Quarterback Nathan Peterman was downright horrific in the team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens, so if […]

Patriots Working Out Corey Coleman

The New England Patriots are working out free-agent wide receiver Corey Coleman on Monday, according to a source. Coleman also has a visit scheduled with the Eagles on Tuesday. The former first-round pick fell out of favor in Cleveland, was traded to Buffalo this summer and has since been released. The Pats are looking for […]

Jose Iglesias To See Specialist Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) will visit with core muscle/groin specialist Dr. William Meyers on Tuesday. Iglesias' progress has been slow from a lower abdominal strain, and the team wants to make sure the injury isn't worse than expected. The shortstop hasn't played since Aug. 29, and it's increasingly unlikely that he'll make it […]

Kevin Kiermaier, Matt Duffy Out Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (illness) and infielder Matt Duffy (back) are both out of the starting lineup on Monday. Kiermaier has been hot this month, going 13-for-25 (.520) with three homers and seven RBI in seven games. Duffy has been hitting, too, going 8-for-26 (.308) with no homers and seven RBI in the […]

Aaron Judge Taking BP Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) is taking on-field batting practice for the first time on Monday. Judge said on Monday that he still has pain in his fractured wrist, but he may be looking to return to the lineup soon if he can withstand the pain. Either way, time is running out for […]

Dodgers Call Up Julio Urias

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled starting pitcher Julio Urias from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. Urias worked his way back from left shoulder surgery in 2018 and had a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and outstanding 14.7 K/9 over eight outings (six starts) over three minor league levels in just 11 2/3 innings. The Dodgers will […]

Bengals Comfortable With Joe Mixon's Week 1 Workload

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said he liked running back Joe Mixon's number of catches (four) in Week 1 against the Colts and thinks the runner can carry the ball 22 times a game. Week 1 established that Mixon is the clear workhorse back for this team, with Giovani Bernard just picking up scraps […]

Trey Quinn, Cam Sims Have High Ankle Sprains

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that both rookie wide receivers Trey Quinn and Cam Sims suffered high ankle sprains in Week 1 against the Cardinals. The team is still waiting to learn whether either player will need surgery. High ankle sprains usually require multiple weeks to recover from, so neither rookie will be […]

Titans Still Evaluating Marcus Mariota

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is still being evaluated, and the team is hoping for good news. Mariota had to leave the Week 1 contest against the Dolphins and was experiencing numbness in his hand and fingers. That doesn't seem to be a good sign, but we'll wait […]

Panthers Won't Rush D.J. Moore

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said the team won't rush rookie D.J. Moore because of the team's "plethora" of receivers. Plethora of receivers would be a very generous term to describe the team's receiver stable. Moore didn't receive a single target in Week 1 against Dallas and played very few snaps overall. However, tight […]

Kenneth Dixon Expected To Miss Time

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) doesn't have a definitive diagnosis on his injury yet, but he's expected to miss some time after limping off the field in the final two minutes of the Week 1 blowout win over the Bills. Dixon actually carried the ball more than starter Alex Collins, but it was […]

Aaron Rodgers Not A Lock For Week 2

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said "no decision has been made" about whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will play in Week 2 against the Vikings. Rodgers injured his knee in the first half in Week 1 against the Bears and had to be carted off, but he returned in the second half and […]

Delanie Walker Not Expected Back This Year

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) suffered a broken ankle and ligament damage in Week 1 against the Dolphins, according to a source. As a result, he's not expected to play again this year. Walker was drafted as a TE1 by most fantasy owners once the elite names at the position came off the […]

Adam Wainwright Back From DL, Starting Monday

The St. Louis Cardinals activated starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (elbow) from the 60-day disabled list on Monday and moved starter Michael Wacha (oblique) to the 60-day DL in a corresponding move. Wainwright was solid on his rehab assignment, but he hasn't pitched since May 13 and wasn't effective in his four big league starts to […]

Jose Abreu Activated From DL

The Chicago White Sox activated first baseman Jose Abreu (groin) from the 10-day disabled list on Monday. He's been out since mid-August after being taken to the hospital and undergoing emergency testicular torsion surgery. The 33-year-old missed around three weeks because of the surgery. Abreu had a disappointing first half but has hit .330/.394/.652 through […]

Eagles Working Out Breshad Perriman

The Philadelphia Eagles are working out free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was a first-round bust for the Ravens after catching only 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons. With the Eagles missing Alshon Jeffery and Mack Hollins in Week 1, they are looking for […]

Seantrel Henderson's Season Is Over

Houston Texans right tackle Seantrel Henderson (ankle) is out for the season after breaking his ankle in Week 1, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Henderson will have surgery on Tuesday. While Henderson wasn't an elite right tackle, his loss hurts an already shaky offensive line. It's bad news for Houston's ground game and quarterback […]

Will Fuller Could Return In Week 2

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said he is hopeful that wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) will return in Week 2 against the Titans. Fuller was inactive for the Week 1 loss to the Patriots, but he could return and be quarterback Deshaun Watson's No. 2 target behind DeAndre Hopkins. Fuller has boom-or-bust fantasy potential […]

Ian Thomas Could Replace Greg Olsen

With Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) likely out for an extended time, rookie Ian Thomas will have the first crack at replacing him moving forward. Chris Manhertz is another option. Jason Vander Laan could also be brought up from the practice squad to provide depth. Thomas, a fourth-round pick, has made the transition […]

Cam Newton Will Be Allowed To Run

Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner doesn't plan on limiting quarterback Cam Newton's identity and have him run less. Newton led both teams in rushing by halftime in Week 1 against the Cowboys and finished with a team-high 58 rushing yards and a touchdown in the win. Through the air, Newton was 17-for-26 for 161 […]

No Concussion For Randal Grichuk

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (head) had his concussion tests come back negative on Monday after he collided with an on-field security guard and his stool while diving for a foul ball on Sunday. He has been diagnosed with multiple facial contusions and abrasions and is listed as day-to-day, pending the results of another […]

Aaron Judge Still Has Pain In Wrist

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) could soon take batting practice on the field, but he continues to experience pain in his fractured right wrist. "The pain is not gone. It's still broken," Judge said, before adding, "I knew I was going to be back in some meaningful games here down the stretch. I'm […]
