Rico Gathers Inactive Sunday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers is a healthy inactive in Week 1 against the Panthers. Gathers might be the best playmaker in the tight end group for the Cowboys, but he's currently buried on the depth chart. Geoff Swaim is listed as the No. 1 tight end, but he's mainly a blocker. Blake Jarwin […]

Nathan Peterman Benched Against Bills

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman has been benched in Week 1 against the Ravens. Peterman was downright atrocious. He went 5-for-18 for 24 yards and two interceptions with the team trailing 40-0. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen has entered the game and should start in Week 2. The Bills are a mess, not just at the […]

Jermaine Gresham Out In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) is inactive in Week 1 against the Redskins. Recently being activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, Gresham wasn't a realistic start for the season opener. The Cardinals will likely ease him in to open the season if he's active next week. Ricky Seals-Jones is the team's […]

Samaje Perine Inactive Against Cardinals

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine is a healthy inactive in Week 1 against the Cardinals. This isn't a huge surprise with Adrian Peterson starting and Rob Kelley backing him up on early downs for the Redskins in the season opener. Perine can be ignored in all fantasy leagues for now. Wide receiver Maurice Harris […]

Seantrel Henderson Suffers Broken Ankle

Houston Texans right tackle Seantrel Henderson (ankle) suffered a broken ankle in Week 1 against the Patriots, according to a league source. It's obviously terrible news and means Henderson will miss the entire season. It's bad news for Houston's running game and second-year quarterback Deshaun Watson moving forward.

Trae Waynes Injures Knee Sunday

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes (knee) left the game early in Week 1 against the 49ers and is questionable to return. Trainers put a sleeve on Waynes' right knee in the first half, but he didn't return in the second half. With Mackensie Alexander inactive for this game, the Vikings are now down two starting […]

Wayne Gallman Questionable To Return

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (knee) left the game early in Week 1 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Gallman had just one carry for negative-one yard and two catches for nine yards before leaving the game. Veteran Jonathan Stewart remains the primary backup to rookie Saquon Barkley.

Mike Evans Leaves With Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans left the game early in Week 1 against the Saints with an unknown injury. It looked like Evans was pointing to his right arm, but the extent and nature of the injury are unknown. Stay tuned for more updates. Evans had five receptions for 90 yards before departing. […]

Eric Berry Officially Out In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 1 against the Chargers. Running back Darrel Williams is also a healthy scratch. Berry was never expected to play in this one after missing practice all week. He might be up against it to return in Week 2 as well. Without the veteran playmaker […]

Randal Grichuk Injured Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (face) left the game early on Sunday after taking a stool to the face during a slide in foul territory. Grichuk struck out twice in two plate appearances before departing. It's unknown how serious his injury is at this time, so check back later for updates. Grichuk has been […]

Clayton Kershaw Pushed Back To Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will not start in the series against the Reds next week and will instead make the start on Thursday against the Cardinals, giving him an extra day off. Wednesday's starter against Cincinnati is to be determined, but it could wind up being Ross Stripling, who recently came off […]

David Peralta Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Braves

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (ankle), who tweaked his ankle at first base on Saturday, is out of the starting lineup on Sunday. Peralta's injury isn't believed to be serious, so expect him to return on Monday. The left-handed hitter is batting .296/.354/.518 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI and 69 runs scored in 504 […]

Jacob deGrom Scratched Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has been scratched from his start on Sunday due to inclement weather. Pitcher Corey Oswalt got the start instead against the Phillies. The Mets didn't want to risk their ace in a wet contest and will instead let him go on Monday in a much better matchup against […]

Nick Williams Banged Up

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Williams (finger, shoulder) has been bothered by a finger and shoulder injury of late, and he's not in the starting lineup on Sunday. Williams' injuries shouldn't keep him out for long, and he could be back in there on Monday. The 25-year-old outfielder is batting .257/.327/.430 on the year with 17 […]

Sonny Gray To Start Tuesday

New York Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray is slated to start on Tuesday against the Twins. Gray has been great for New York since moving to the bullpen, but overall he has a 4.96 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 over 27 outings (22 starts). Despite his ugly overall numbers, Gray could be a sleeper streamer […]

Jose Abreu Could Return Monday

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria is hoping first baseman Jose Abreu (groin) can return from the disabled list on Monday. If Abreu returns on Monday, he should be re-inserted into all fantasy lineups. The 31-year-old is hitting a nice .272/.331/.491 with 22 home runs and 78 RBI for a rebuilding White Sox club.

Aaron Judge Takes BP Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) took batting practice indoors on Saturday and is scheduled to hit on the field this week. With Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starting a five-game playoff series on Tuesday, Judge could see live at-bats on a rehab assignment if the series lasts long enough. It's great news for Judge and means […]

Tigers Add Christin Stewart

The Detroit Tigers called up outfield prospect Christin Stewart from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. Stewart was the team's first-round pick in 2015 and will be the everyday left fielder for the final three weeks, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. However, Stewart isn't starting on Sunday. Detroit also called up catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Zac […]

Tyler Austin To Take BP Monday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Tyler Austin (back) will try to take batting practice on Monday after being "backed off from swings" for a few days. He is feeling better and is "heading in the right direction," according to manager Paul Molitor. It's unclear how much Austin will be able to play down the stretch. He […]

A's Recall Nick Martini

The Oakland Athletics recalled outfielder Nick Martini and relief pitcher Ryan Dull from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Martini hit .257 with no homers and 12 RBI in 101 at-bats with the A's earlier this year. He's worth considering in AL-only leagues, as he could see decent playing time down the stretch against left-handed pitchers.

Felix Hernandez Day-To-Day

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) is being listed as day-to-day after leaving his start in the fifth inning with a tight right hamstring on Saturday. King Felix allowed six hits and one earned run over four innings in a no-decision against the Yankees before departing. The veteran right-hander hasn't been much of a […]

Andrew Miller To Be Activated Monday

The Cleveland Indians plan to activate relief pitcher Andrew Miller (shoulder) from the disabled list on Monday. It's been a tough year for Miller due to multiple trips to the disabled list this season. However, he looks to be finally healthy after a cortisone shot and could help owners down the stretch with his fine […]

Miguel Andujar Injured Saturday

New York Yankees rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar (forearm) was removed from the game early on Saturday after he was hit by a pitch on the right forearm. Andujar was 2-for-3 with a strikeout before leaving the game. The injury didn't look to be too serious, but don't be surprised if he's rested on Sunday. […]

X-Rays Negative On Noah Syndergaard

X-rays came back negative on New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (ribs) after he was hit by a line drive in the ribs on Saturday. Syndergaard allowed a season-high 12 hits and four earned runs while also walking four in 6 2/3 innings against the Phillies, but he still got the win to go […]

Yangervis Solarte Activated From DL

The Toronto Blue Jays activated infielder Yangervis Solarte (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday, and he will play second base and hit seventh against Indians starter Mike Clevinger. Solarte may not be a great play initially in a tough matchup against Clevinger, but he'll return to being valuable in deep mixed and AL-only […]

Shohei Ohtani Playing Sunday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (thigh) is in the starting lineup on Sunday after suffering a right thigh contusion during a home plate collision on Saturday. Ohtani is hitting cleanup against White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez. Since Tommy John surgery was recommended for the two-way Japanese start, Ohtani is 7-for-12 with a triple, […]

Robert Griffin III A Healthy Scratch

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III is inactive for Week 1 against the Bills. The Ravens have some packages in place for rookie Lamar Jackson as the backup to Joe Flacco. While Jackson's athletic abilities are intriguing, he won't be on the field enough to warrant fantasy consideration. Jackson is mainly a dynasty stash for […]

Mark Walton, Cody Core Inactive

Cincinnati Bengals running back Mark Walton and wide receiver Cody Core (back) are inactive for Week 1 against the Colts. Wide receiver Auden Tate is also a healthy scratch for this one. With the rookie Walton inactive, Tra Carson should serve as the No. 3 back behind Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard. Core and the […]

Josh Gordon Expected To Play 20 Snaps

The plan is for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon to play roughly 20 snaps, give or take, in Week 1 against the Steelers. Gordon was behind in training camp and the preseason after reporting late, and then he suffered a minor hamstring injury. He will not start in this contest but will play. With […]

Kyle Lauletta Inactive In Week 1

New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta is inactive in Week 1 against the Jaguars. The Giants chose to go with Alex Tanney over the rookie in the season opener as Eli Manning's backup. That could change as the season develops, though, as the Giants coaching staff has been high on Lauletta.
