Ben Roethlisberger Expected To Play

Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and wide receiver Antonio Brown both said they expect quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) to play in Week 2 against the Chiefs. Roethlisberger was also able to practice on Friday after sitting out the two previous days. Big Ben's injury was never believed to be serious, but the fact that he […]

Joe Mixon Describes Injury As Tweak

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) described his knee injury as "some weird tweak" after being injured in Week 2 on Thursday against Baltimore. He played only 51 percent of the offensive snaps after leaving the game two separate times, but he was still able to carry the ball 21 times for 84 yards […]

Darren Sproles, Alshon Jeffery Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Jeffery was never expected to play this weekend and might be questionable for Week 3. In his absence, Nelson Agholor is a fine WR3 play against a leaky Tampa secondary. Sproles is […]

Jerick McKinnon Has Successful Surgery

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) underwent ACL surgery on Tuesday and the tear was "pretty clean," according to a source. McKinnon is still out for the year, but this is a great sign that his recovery should go smoothly. He should be ready for the 2019 in plenty of time. McKinnon was […]

Devonta Freeman Not Expected To Play

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) is not expected to play in Week 2 against the Panthers. Rookie Ito Smith is expected to back up Tevin Coleman as the main running back this Sunday. It's a tough blow for those that own Freeman so early in the season. Hopefully you were able to handcuff […]

Michael Johnson Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson (knee) is expected to miss a few weeks after getting injured in the Week 2 win over the Ravens on Thursday, according to a source. While Cincy's defensive line takes a hit, Johnson was more of a run stopper than a pass rusher and wasn't on the radar of […]

Sam Darnold Praises Quincy Enunwa

New York Jets rookie Sam Darnold has liked what he's seen from wide receiver Quincy Enunwa so far. "He's smooth but he is also physical. He is very sudden, a very quick dude. It's awesome to be able to throw to him. The routes he runs are very crisp, but very violent. It's cool to […]

Aaron Rodgers Remains Day-To-Day

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is getting better but nothing has changed and Rodgers remains day-to-day. The Packers are not practicing on Friday, so Saturday's practice will be a big indicator for Rodgers' status in Week 2 against the Vikings. The feeling is still that it'd be a […]

Angels Expected To Approach Mike Trout With Extension

The Los Angeles Angels are expected to try again to make outfielder Mike Trout a lifetime Angel when they discuss a contract with him this winter, and a rival agent suggested that Trout's agent would be wise to wait until impending free agents Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are signed to provide a floor. The […]

Eduardo Nunez Won't Play Friday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee), who left the game early with a sore right knee on Thursday, will not play on Friday but could return to play Saturday. It doesn't appear Nunez's injury is too serious, but they'll give him a game to rest. Nunez doesn't have the […]

Joe Mixon Returns To Game

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) left the game in the second half with a right knee injury but was able to return to the contest. Despite missing some time in this game, Mixon has rushed the ball 18 times for 77 yards, and he added a catch for another […]

Joe Mixon Injures Knee Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) injured his knee on Thursday against the Ravens and is questionable to return. Mixon also left the game in the first half for a series to be checked on. Before leaving he had 14 carries for 48 yards and added one catch for three yards. Mixon didn't look […]

C.J. Mosley Doubtful To Return

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his knee and is doubtful to return on Thursday against the Bengals. While Mosley is unlikely to finish off the game, it's good news in the long run for Baltimore's defense and Mosley's IDP owners. He won't be a lock to play […]

Seung Hwan Oh Dealing With Tight Hamstring

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh (hamstring) has been fighting left hamstring tightness for the last couple of days and wasn't used in the series against the Diamondbacks as a result. Manager Bud Black said Oh is day-to-day. “I’m feeling good,” Oh said. “I’ve done all the testing with the trainers, and there’s no […]

Eduardo Nunez Leaves Game Early Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game early on Thursday with right knee soreness, but he's being listed as day-to-day. Nunez had a double in two plate appearances before departing this contest. He's hitting .262/.287/.387 with 10 home runs, 55 runs scored, 44 RBI and seven steals on the season and should […]

C.J. Mosley Injures Knee Thursday

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) left the game early on Thursday with a knee injury. Mosley came into this week as a top-10 IDP linebacker, so a serious injury would be a huge loss for both the Ravens defense and Mosley's IDP owners. Check back for updates on the severity of Mosley's knee injury […]

Seahawks Sign Mychal Kendricks

The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent linebacker Mychal Kendricks to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to sources. Kendricks was released by the Browns after he was charged with insider trading. With K.J. Wright still out with an injury, Kendricks is expected to play in Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. Kendricks spent the […]

Tyler Skaggs Throws Simulated Game

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (groin) threw a 48-pitch simulated game on Thursday, but no decision has been made on his next step. There's no guarantee that the left-hander will make any more starts this season for the Halos or for fantasy owners. He hasn't pitched since Aug. 11 against the A's, but […]

James Paxton Dealing With Form Of Pneumonia

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is dealing with a "form of pneumonia" and is not with the team on their road trip against the Angels this weekend. Manager Scott Servais is hoping that Paxton is back during the 10-game road trip. The left-hander has been the team's best pitcher, so this is also […]

Kyle Freeland Pitches Through Calf Cramp

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (calf) dealt with a cramp that got progressively worse in his start against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, according to manager Bud Black. However, there is no cause for concern. The left-hander was solid on Thursday, allowing four hits and three earned runs while striking out six over 6 1/3 […]

Marshawn Lynch Upgraded To Full Practice

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) and wide receiver Brandon LaFell (back) were both upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Receiver Dwayne Harris (foot) was limited for the second straight day. Lynch was never expected to be in danger of missing Week 2 against the Broncos. Consider him […]

Robert Griffin III Inactive In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Bengals on Thursday. RG3 was also a healthy scratch in the season opener. Athletic rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson remains the direct backup to Joe Flacco, and he'll likely have some packages to work with again on […]

Mark Walton, Cody Core Inactive On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Mark Walton and wide receivers Cody Core and Auden Tate are all inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens on Thursday. All three were also inactive in the season opener against the Colts and are nowhere near the fantasy radar, for obvious reasons.

Marquise Goodwin Does Not Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goodwin will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have any chance of suiting up for Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin was a popular breakout player in fantasy drafts, but he […]

Travis Benjamin Out Again

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Benjamin is trending in the wrong direction heading into Week 2 against the Bills. The deep threat had just one catch on five targets for one yard in the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs. He's a boom/bust […]

Colts Waive Erik Swoope

The Indianapolis Colts waived tight end Erik Swoope on Thursday and promoted defensive tackle Jihad Ward from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Swoope had just one catch for 13 yards in the season opener and was behind Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron on the depth chart.

Davante Adams Feels Great

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) said he feels "great" after being limited in practice on Thursday, but he also said he's still "day-to-day." “It’s still day to day. I felt good today at practice, so we just have to keep making progress til Sunday and hopefully I’ll be ready to run," Adams […]

Anthony Castonzo Out Thursday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. That is not good news as Castonzo attempts to make his season debut in Week 2 against the Redskins. It'd also be bad news for quarterback Andrew Luck if his blind-side protector is out for the second straight […]

Jack Conklin, Taylor Lewan Miss Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans offensive tackles Jack Conklin (knee) and Taylor Lewan (concussion) both missed practice on Thursday. Conklin was limited on Wednesday, so this isn't a good sign for his status heading into Week 2 against the Texans. The Titans offensive line is in bad shape if they miss their left and right tackles this weekend. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Sore After Opener

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said he felt "pretty sore" after his first start in Week 1 since breaking his ankle last October. However, OBJ impressed his owners with his 11-catch, 111-yard performance against the Jaguars. All things considered, Beckham's Week 1 performance was very solid with Jags shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey […]
