Sammy Watkins, Dee Ford Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and linebacker Dee Ford (groin) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable to play in Week 5 against the Jaguars. It seems as though both will have no trouble playing on Sunday. Watkins missed his only target last Monday night before being injured, and […]

Eric Berry Doubtful Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful to face the Jaguars in Week 5. Berry hasn't practiced during the regular season and will not play this weekend. There remains no timetable for his return to help a beleaguered KC secondary. Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles and his […]

Marshawn Lynch Not On Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) wasn't listed on the final injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Chargers. Head coach Jon Gruden didn't sound like he's ready to limit Lynch's heavy workload. “He’s been durable his career. We’ll just keep feeding him Skittles and keep sending him out there as […]

Kenny Vaccaro, Wesley Woodyard Won't Play Sunday

Tennessee Titans strong safety Kenny Vaccaro (elbow) and linebacker Wesley Woodyard (shoulder) both missed practice all week and will not play in Week 5 against the Bills. It's a downgrade for Tennessee's defense overall, but they should still be a strong fantasy play against a Buffalo offense that was shut out last week by a […]

Corey Davis, Marcus Mariota Not On Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) and quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) both practiced in full on Friday and are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Bills. Both players were never in danger of missing this game. With Mariota's elbow getting back to full health, it has put Davis back […]

Trae Waynes Ruled Out Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Eagles. The Vikes will be a little short-handed in the secondary on Sunday, meaning Kamar Aiken or Jordan Matthews will likely draw rookie cornerback Mike Hughes on the outside in three-receiver sets. Alshon Jeffery and […]

Alshon Jeffery, Jason Peters Off Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) and left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Vikings. Jeffery had over 100 yards and a score in his season debut last week, but it won't be as easy for him in […]

James Kaprielian Throwing In Instructional League

Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said that pitching prospect James Kaprielian (elbow, shoulder) is throwing in an instructional league game on Friday. The right-hander had Tommy John surgery last April and then developed shoulder problems. He hasn't pitched since 2016 with High-A Tampa. Kaprielian is the team's No. 9 prospect, but he has quite […]

Jesus Luzardo Will Have Chance To Earn Rotation Spot

Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said pitching prospect Jesus Luzardo will be in the mix for a starting job in spring training next year. Luzardo is the team's top prospect and ranks as baseball's No. 12 prospect overall. The left-hander had a 2.88 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and excellent 10.6 K/9 over 23 starts (109 […]

German Marquez To Start Game 3 Of NLDS

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that starting pitcher German Marquez will pitch in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers on Sunday. Marquez started the team's one-game playoff with the Dodgers on Monday to decide the division and was the team's best starter down the stretch. He went 14-11 with […]

Charles Clay Questionable Against Titans

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 5 against the Titans. After getting in a full practice on Friday, we'd fully expect Clay to suit up. Even with Buffalo searching for reliable receiving options, Clay hasn't made much noise through four weeks. In a tough […]

Corey Clement Questionable Against Vikings

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Vikings. Clement is in danger of missing his second straight game. Even if he were to be active, he'd see limited touches behind starter Jay Ajayi in the backfield in a tough matchup. Clement should only be stashed in […]

Darren Sproles Out In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Vikings. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener on Thursday night, and there remains no timetable for his return. With Corey Clement (quadriceps) potentially missing his second straight game, Wendell Smallwood could be Jay Ajayi's main backup this weekend. […]

Devonta Freeman, Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Fine

Atlanta Falcons running backs Devonta Freeman (knee) and Tevin Coleman (shin) and wide receivers Julio Jones (ankle, hand) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) have all been taken off the injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Steelers. Coleman, Freeman and Sanu all practiced in full on Friday, while Jones was limited. Linebacker Vic […]

Bengals Put Tyler Eifert On IR

The Cincinnati Bengals placed oft-injured tight end Tyler Eifert (ankle) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and activated linebacker Vontaze Burfict to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Eifert just cannot escape the injury bug, as he has played in just 14 games the last three years and has never played a full season […]

Hayden Hurst Questionable For Week 5

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Browns. Hurst has been practicing the last few weeks but has yet to make his NFL debut. This could be the week. Hurst has the most upside of this committee tight end group, but he's likely to be […]

Maurice Harris Could Start On Monday Night

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said wide receiver Maurice Harris would probably start if Josh Doctson (heel) cannot play on Monday night against the Saints. Doctson was in a walking boot on Friday, so it seems unlikely that he'll play in Week 5. Harris has yet to play in 2018, and even though the […]

Dalvin Cook Will Be Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring), who said he "got some reps" in practice on Friday, said he will be a game-time decision for Week 5 against the Eagles. He is optimistic that he will be able to play Sunday. We aren't quite as optimistic. Even if Cook plays, he'll likely cede a lot […]

A.J. Derby Ruled Out Against Bengals

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Bengals. That means that rookie Mike Gesicki will be the main pass-catching tight end this Sunday. Gesicki has yet to make an impact, though, catching only five passes on seven targets for 51 yards. […]

DeVante Parker, Reshad Jones Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps), safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker and Branch were limited in practice, while Jones practiced in full. Parker and Branch legitimately could miss Sunday's game, while Jones should be able to return and […]

Cameron Wake Doubtful For Week 5

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Bengals after missing practice all week. With Andre Branch questionable, Miami's defensive line could be in bad shape this Sunday against Cincinnati. That'd be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton. Wake has 12 tackles and one sack through four […]

Trai Turner Will Return In Week 5

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) has been taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Giants after missing the last two games with a concussion. Turner's return is great news for Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and the running game this Sunday.

Jimmy Smith Expected To Play Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh expects cornerback Jimmy Smith to play in Week 5 against the Browns after returning this week from a four-game suspension. Harbaugh has been impressed with the veteran's physical conditioning. An already strong defense will benefit from the return of their grizzled veteran in the secondary. Baltimore remains a strong […]

Frank Clark Dealing With Food Poisoning

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that defensive end Frank Clark, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, has been dealing with food poisoning. "He’s been sick a little bit this week," Carroll told KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, "and we’re trying to get him back and get him ready to play, which we think he […]

Chris Carson Will Return In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed on Friday that running back Chris Carson (hip) will return in Week 5 against the Rams after being a surprise inactive in Week 4. However, Mike Davis ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in Carson's absence last Sunday, so it's anyone's guess how much work Carson […]

Kolten Wong Doesn't Need Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) will not need surgery after his left knee was examined after the season. A scan of the joint showed that the cartilage that shook loose earlier this year would not need to be fixed. In his five full years with the Red Birds, Wong has started more […]

Paul DeJong Has Surgery On His Hand

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (hand) had surgery on his hand this week after he fractured his hand in late May. The surgery was done to remove the plate from his hand, which will put him in a cast for another few weeks. DeJong said he'll be fine to resume offseason workouts in a […]

Joe Kelly, Brandon Workman Make ALDS Roster

Boston Red Sox relief pitchers Joe Kelly and Brandon Workman made the roster for the American League Division Series against the Yankees. Heath Hembree and Bobby Poyner were left off the roster with the Red Sox carrying three catchers. Kelly and Workman will fill middle relief roles for the Red Sox against their arch-rivals in […]

Gerardo Parra Starting Over David Dahl

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra will get the start over David Dahl in left field and will hit sixth against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday. Parra hit for a decent average (.284) and on-base percentage (.342) on the year, but he doesn't have much power […]

Hernan Perez Starting At Shortstop In Game 2

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Hernan Perez gets the nod at shortstop over Orlando Arcia and will hit sixth against Rockies starter Tyler Anderson in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday. Perez brings more offense than Arcia does, and he hit much better against lefties this year than righties with a .277 average […]
