Panthers Hope To Have Greg Olsen In Week 6

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) has a chance to play in Week 6 against the Redskins, according to head coach Ron Rivera, who said "hopefully he'll be ready to roll on Wednesday." Olsen broke his right foot in the season opener and was expected to miss four to five weeks. His foot fracture […]

Riley Reiff Suffers Foot Injury

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Riley Reiff (foot) suffered a foot injury in the Week 5 win over the Eagles. He also suffered a foot injury against the Bills a few weeks ago, and he played through it last week against the Rams on a short week. Minnesota's offense line is beat up and can't afford […]

X-Rays Negative For Matt Breida

X-rays turned up negative on San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) after he had to be helped off the field in the Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, according to a source. He is being listed with an ankle sprain. Breida could miss time, but it's not the worst-case scenario. If Breida is […]

Lamar Miller Not Likely To Play

Despite being active for Week 5 Sunday night against the Cowboys, Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) is "not likely to play," according to a source. Instead, Alfred Blue will get the start and serve as the lead back, making him an RB3/flex choice for those that have him handcuffed to Miller. With Miller […]

Alvin Kamara, Cameron Meredith Off Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) and wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice all week but were taken off the final injury report for Week 5 on Monday night against the Redskins. Both will play in the game. Despite Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension, Kamara remains an […]

Will Fuller, Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Active Sunday Night

Houston Texans wide receivers Will Fuller (hamstring) and Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back Lamar Miller (chest) are all active in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night after being questionable to play. Fuller has scored in all three games he's played in this year and is a favorite target of quarterback Deshaun Watson. […]

Corey Grant Likely Done For The Season

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) likely suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the year, according to sources. Leonard Fournette was out this weekend and isn't guaranteed to return in Week 6, so Jacksonville is now incredibly thin in the […]

Kerryon Johnson Says He's Fine

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) said "I'm fine" after the Week 5 win over the Packers when he suffered an ankle injury. "If I can walk, run, if I'm standing, I always want to go back in, so that's what I'm going to do," Johnson said. The rookie finished with 70 yards […]

Cooper Kupp Leaves With Head Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (head) left the game in the third quarter of Week 5 against the Seahawks to be evaluated for a concussion. The good news for Kupp's fantasy owners is that he had six catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The bad news is that […]

Brandin Cooks Being Evaluated For Concussion

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) was removed from the game in Week 5 against the Seahawks and is being evaluated for a concussion. Cooks caught a pass, suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit and fumbled on the play. The play was called back because of a penalty, so Cooks didn't actually record a catch […]

Matt Breida Questionable To Return

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals after suffering an ankle injury. The good news for fantasy owners is that Breida had eight carries for 56 yards and a five-yard touchdown catch before leaving. If he's forced to miss time […]

Miguel Sano Detained By Police In Dominican Republic

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano has been detained by police in the Dominican Republic after a traffic incident Sunday morning in which Sano ran over a police officer. The police officer suffered a broken leg. Sano was driving without license plates and didn't have identification. It's unclear if Sano might face a suspension from […]

CC Sabathia Expected To Start Game 4 Of ALDS

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he is "pretty locked in" to have starting pitcher CC Sabathia start in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Sabathia was solid for the Yankees this year, but he's not longer the high-strikeout ace he's been in the past. The […]

Aaron Hicks Ready To Return

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) said he feels ready to play in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Monday after he was injured in Game 1 on Friday. Brett Gardner started in his place in center field in Game 2 on Saturday. Hicks would be facing […]

Jose Altuve Expected To Be Fine For Game 3

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said he's "not expecting any problems" for second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) after he banged his right knee in the sixth inning on Saturday in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Indians. Altuve is now 2-for-8 with a solo homer in the series and will remain […]

David Freese Hitting Third In Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder David Freese is starting at first base and is hitting third in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Braves left-handed starter Sean Newcomb on Sunday. That moves Cody Bellinger to center field, while he's hitting sixth. Outfielders Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig will start on the bench. Bellinger […]

Rashard Higgins Doubtful To Return In Week 5

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) was injured in Week 5 against the Ravens and is doubtful to return. Higgins was productive before his injury, catching three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown on four targets. With Cleveland looking to limit rookie Antonio Callaway's snaps moving forward, Higgins could be in line for […]

C.J. Prosise, K.J. Wright Inactive

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) are inactive in Week 5 against the Rams. Prosise is a healthy inactive with Chris Carson returning from a one-game absence. Prosise is nowhere near the fantasy radar while being buried on the running back depth chart. The Seahawks could really use Wright back […]

Frank Clark Active In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (illness) is active in Week 5 against the Rams despite missing practice time this week while dealing with food poisoning. Clark will surely be needed against the high-flying Rams offense on Sunday, especially now that safety Earl Thomas (knee) is out for the season with a broken leg.

Tyler Higbee Playing Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is active in Week 5 against the Seahawks. Higbee has just three catches on five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in four games this season. Even with the tight end position being extremely thin, fantasy owners can't realistically count on Higbee for consistent production.

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman, Joe Staley Active

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder), cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) are all active for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Breida has been the much more impressive back than Alfred Morris through four weeks, and Breida is in the RB2/3 mix once again in a game where he […]

Marquise Goodwin, Jimmie Ward Inactive

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) and cornerback Jimmie Ward (hamstring) are both inactive for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Goodwin was a game-time decision but obviously didn't show the team enough to start him. So far he's been a bust after being a preseason breakout candidate. His ceiling and floor are […]

Larry Fitzgerald Active Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring), who was listed as questionable, is active in Week 5 against the 49ers. There wasn't much of a question as to whether Fitzgerald would play after he was questionable last week and played. The future Hall of Famer has been criminally underused in this struggling offense, but […]

Corey Clement Will Play In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps), who was questionable coming into the game, is active in Week 5 against the Vikings. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) out since Week 1, Clement will serve as the primary backup to Jay Ajayi in a tough matchup. Clement doesn't have much standalone value in fantasy leagues behind Ajayi. […]

Dalvin Cook Out Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook was a long shot to play coming into this one, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to his fantasy owners. The second-year back is now developing an injury-prone label and could become an early-round bust if […]

Brandon LaFell, DeAndre Washington Inactive Against Chargers

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Brandon LaFell and running back Deandre Washington are both healthy inactives for Week 5 against the Chargers. Neither player has yet to be active for Oakland this season. You can continue ignoring them in all fantasy leagues.

Mitch Moreland Receiving Aggressive Treatment

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) is receiving "aggressive treatment" after injuring himself in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees on Saturday. There is no word on whether he will start in Game 3 on Monday. If Moreland doesn't start, expect to see Steve Pearce manning first base […]

David Price To Be Available In Relief

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he plans on having starting pitcher David Price available in relief in the coming days. Price didn't have it against the Yankees in Game 2 on Saturday night and only lasted 1 2/3 innings before being pulled. The left-hander hasn't had much postseason success. With him unlikely to […]

Yandy Diaz, Brandon Guyer To Start In Game 3

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that infielder Yandy Diaz and outfielder Brandon Guyer will be in the lineup in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel on Monday. Diaz will serve as the designated hitter, while Edwin Encarnacion will handle first base, pushing Yonder Alonso to the bench. […]

Trevor Bauer Still An Option To Start Game 4

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that starting pitcher Trevor Bauer will be available out of the bullpen for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday against the Astros. If the Indians force a Game 4 on Tuesday, Bauer and Shane Bieber will be options to start. Bauer has been used in […]
