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. It's not a given, though, and manager Alex Cora said there are a lot of factors to consider. One way or another, J.D. Martinez, the regular designated hitter, will play in every […]

Joc Pederson Leading Off In Game 7 Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is starting in left field and hitting leadoff in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against Brewers right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. First baseman Max Muncy will hit second, while Chris Taylor drops to seventh. David Freese and Enrique Hernandez will start on the bench. While Pederson has just […]

Jets Releasing Terrelle Pryor

The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (groin) on Saturday, according to a league source. Pryor is dealing with a tear in his groin and is expected to be out around two weeks. The team is interested in re-signing him when he's healthy, but other teams will likely be interested in him […]

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. Ridley has been practicing the last two days, while Sanu returned to practice on Saturday. It's good news for […]

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. The young right-hander was fantastic during the season, going 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA and 151 strikeouts. He was also exceptional in the National League West tiebreaker against the Rockies, but he's allowed […]

Jose Altuve Undergoes Right Knee Surgery

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) underwent surgery on his right knee, according to a source. The six-time All-Star fought through a knee injury for most of the second half of the season and the playoffs, initially injuring the knee sliding into second base in July in Colorado. 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. Before the knee injury that kept him out for all of 2017 he had a quarterback rating […]

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. Max Muncy is at second base and will hit second. Joc Pederson will start on the bench for this one. Freese is 7-for-20 (.350) with […]

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 […]

Marshawn Lynch Could Land On Injured Reserve

Updating a previous report, Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (groin) is a strong candidate to go on Injured Reserve. Lynch will miss at least a month with his injury and could be done for the year if he's put on IR. Doug Martin should handle the early downs in his absence, with Jalen Richard […]

Justin Houston, Eric Berry Doubtful To Face Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) and safety Eric Berry (heel) missed practice all week and are doubtful to play in Week 7 against the Bengals. Houston is one of the team's best pass rushers, so having him miss another game will be a big blow to KC's already poor defense. Berry hasn't practiced […]

Pierre Garcon, Trent Taylor Questionable

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) are both questionable to play in Week 7 against the Rams. Cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) is also listed as questionable. Even with Rams corner Aqib Talib still out injured, neither Garcon nor Taylor are very attractive to fantasy owners if they suit […]

Dante Pettis Ruled Out For Week 7

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Rams. Pettis has now been out since Sept. 30 and shouldn't be owned in most leagues. He has just three catches on seven targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in four games played. When healthy, he's fourth […]

Four Patriots Playmakers Questionable Against Bears

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Julian Edelman (heel) and Josh Gordon (hamstring) were all limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 7 against the Bears. There has been no indication that any of them are in danger of sitting […]

Josh Rosen Should Be OK For Week 8

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) is dealing with a sprained toe, but he should be OK for Week 8 against the 49ers. With 10 days until their next game, Rosen has extra time to heal up. He was dreadful in the 45-10 blowout loss to the Broncos on […]

Ryan Griffin Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Jaguars. Griffin has only 10 catches on 25 targets for 140 yards in six games, so he wasn't worth stashing on fantasy rosters to begin with. In his absence, rookies Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas will handle the tight […]

Travis Shaw Hitting Cleanup In Game 6 Of NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw is starting at second base and is hitting cleanup against Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Friday. It's a nice lineup placement, but Shaw hit just .209/.303/.296 with two of his 32 homers during the regular season against southpaws. He did take […]

Chris Sale To Start Game 1 Of World Series

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) will start Game 1 of the World Series against either the Brewers or Dodgers. While it's not official yet, it will "probably" be David Price in Game 2 in Boston. Sale will have plenty of rest, with his last start coming in […]
