Yasmani Grandal Sees A Start In Game 3 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal is in the starting lineup and batting seventh over Austin Barnes in Game 3 of the World Series against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello on Friday. Grandal has been a liability on offense and defense in the postseason. He's batting just .120 (3-for-25) with a homer, RBI, four walks […]

Nathan Eovaldi To Start In Game 4

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has been announced as the team's Game 4 starter for the World Series in Los Angeles on Saturday. He was unavailable to start in Game 3 on Friday after pitching two innings of relief in the first two games in Boston. Eovaldi has been lights-out for the Red […]

J.D. Martinez In Lineup In Game 3, Andrew Benintendi Out

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (ankle), who aggravated his ankle in Game 2 of the World Series, is starting in left field and batting third against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday. As a result, Andrew Benintendi will start on the bench. Infielder Brock Holt is also […]

Theo Riddick Ruled Out For Week 8

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Riddick also missed the game before the team's Week 7 bye, so he doesn't look close to returning and is likely floating on most league's waiver wire by now. Rookie Kerryon Johnson should […]

Jermaine Gresham, Phil Dawson Listed As Questionable

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. Gresham was a new addition to the practice report on Friday but should play as Ricky Seals-Jones' backup. Gresham should be avoided in all leagues. Dawson injured […]

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman Questionable For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Breida continues to fight injuries and played just five offensive snaps last week, so the Niners could elect to rest him even if he's active. Expect […]

Pierre Garcon Doubtful To Face Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The veteran still hasn't scored a touchdown all year and has a low ceiling for fantasy owners. He's a candidate to be left to the waiver wire. In his absence, Marquise […]

Everson Griffen Expected To Return In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who has been away from the team to tend to his mental-health issues in recent weeks, is expected to return and play against the Saints in Week 8. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes (ankle) is questionable to play. Griffen could be on a snap count, but his presence is a huge […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Saints. Cook has played in only three games this year due to recurring hamstring issues, and he's been a big-time early-round fantasy bust so far. Expect him to be out through the team's Week 10 bye as they […]

Sony Michel Misses Practice Again Thursday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Michel is not expected to play on Monday night against the Bills after spraining his MCL last weekend. He could be in danger of missing Week 9, too. In his absence, James White has RB1 in a […]

Jets Will Consider Re-Signing Terrelle Pryor

The New York Jets will consider re-signing Terrelle Pryor (groin) after their Week 8 game against the Bears, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Pryor scored in back-to-back games before being injured on Oct. 14 and then released shortly after that. But now the Jets are without Quincy Enunwa and Robby Anderson and are running […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Questionable Against Jets

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Jets, but both players returned to practice on Friday. It's a good sign that both players will be able to play, but it remains to be seen how effective they will be […]

Justin Houston, Eric Berry Doubtful Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) and safety Eric Berry (heel) are doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Broncos. Houston has been out since getting injured in Week 5, while Berry has yet to practice or play in the regular season. It's fair to wonder if Berry will even play at all […]

Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown Questionable

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Rams. Cobb practiced in full on Friday and is expected to play in his first game since Sept. 23. He does have double-digit targets in two of his three games played this […]

Von Miller Expected To Play Despite Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos defensive end Von Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Chiefs, but head coach Vance Joseph said Miller will play. Miller will need to be on his game in order to slow down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and this high-flying offense. The 29-year-old has 29 tackles, four forced fumbles […]

Cardinals Add Insurance With Phil Dawson Injured

With Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) injured, the team signed free-agent Matt McCrane to their practice squad on Friday. McCrane was cut by the Cardinals in the preseason and then joined the Raiders, where he went 5-for-9 on his field-goal tries before being released. Offensive lineman Kyle Friend was cut in a corresponding move. […]

Royce Freeman Ruled Out For Broncos

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Chiefs, according to head coach Vance Joseph. Punt returner/wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee). The Broncos were holding out hope that Freeman would be able to play despite suffering a high ankle sprain last Thursday. With an injury that […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Questionable

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Giants. Thompson practiced this week but also did last week and was inactive, so he's not a lock to return. If he does, he'll merely be an RB3/flex play in […]

Marlon Mack Back At Practice Friday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) appears to be back at practice on Friday after missing the session on Thursday. Mack will likely be questionable on the injury report for Week 8 against the Raiders, but his return to practice gives us confidence that he'll play in a great matchup. Coming off his best […]

Jack Doyle, Adam Vinatieri Likely To Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) will both likely play in Week 8 against the Raiders. Doyle will return for the first time since Week 3, but Eric Ebron really produced with him out, so he'll remain in play as a strong TE1, although […]

Robby Anderson, Trumaine Johnson Doubtful

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) are both listed as doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Bears. With Quincy Enunwa (ankle) also out, Jermaine Kearse will be the team's top receiver. It's a big downgrade for rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Recently-signed wideout Rishard Matthews could also […]

Jamison Crowder Ruled Out Against Giants

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants. Crowder will be missing his third straight game and hadn't done much of anything for his fantasy owners before that, so he's become a drop candidate if you haven't done so already. Paul Richardson could return after missing […]

Torrey Smith Won't Play Against Ravens

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Ravens. Smith is a deep threat but mostly posts mediocre results for fantasy owners. In PPR leagues, he doesn't serve much of a purpose aside from being a bench stash. In his absence, rookie D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel […]

Ryan Grant, Erik Swoope Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) and tight end Erik Swoope (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Raiders. It'll be Grant's second straight missed game. With T.Y. Hilton back in the fold, Grant is the team's third receiver, at best, when he's healthy, so he's not much of a […]

Vontaze Burfict, Nick Vigil Ruled Out Against Bucs

Cincinnati Bengals linebackers Vontaze Burfict (hip) and Nick Vigil (knee) have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. Slot cornerback Darqueze Dennard (shoulder) will also be out. It's a serious blow to Cincy's defense, as Burfict and Vigil are the life and soul of this unit in the middle of the field. It's […]

Rashard Higgins Ruled Out Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Steelers. Higgins will need at least another week to recover from an MCL sprain. When he is ready to return, though, he could serve as the No. 2 receiver behind Jarvis Landry, so he's worth stashing in deeper leagues […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) have been ruled out for Week 8 in London against the Eagles. Fournette will sit out through the team's Week 9 bye. Playing in parts of only two games so far this year, Fournette has been a massive fantasy bust. Hopefully for […]

Martavis Bryant In Line For More Work

With the Oakland Raiders trading wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cowboys this week, Martavis Bryant should benefit in the passing game as the No. 2 behind Jordy Nelson. He's been a disappointment so far with 14 catches for 220 yards in five games, including a dropped touchdown and a fumble. "I think it helps […]

Peyton Barber Good To Go For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber has been very mediocre this year, rushing for 3.5 yards a carry without a single rushing touchdown. He'll simply be an RB3/flex against Cincinnati this Sunday, and rookie Ronald Jones II […]

Donte Moncrief Misses Flight With Team

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief was not on the team plane to London because of a passport mishap. However, he caught a commercial flight and is now in London and on his way to the practice field. Moncrief has been hit or miss so far this year. He has a 100-yard game and two […]
