Terrelle Pryor Could See Big Role In Debut

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has learned the offense quickly and could have an Andre Holmes-type role in the offense in Week 9 against the Bears in his debut with the team. Holmes has played right around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each game this year, and Pryor adds some good route-running […]

Browns Tailoring Offense To Baker Mayfield's Strengths

New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens is expected to implement more components of rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield's spread offense in college, according to interim head coach Gregg Williams. Allowing Mayfield to run more plays that made him successful in college is a start, but it might still be difficult with too much inexperience and […]

C.J. Cron Likely To Be Traded

It seems likely that the Tampa Bay Rays will trade first baseman C.J. Cron this winter, as they want more of a feared hitter with more defensive versatility. Cron split time between first base and designated hitter and managed 30 home runs in 2018. He's also projected to make $5.2 million next year through salary […]

Trent Williams Expected To Miss A Month

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) is expected to miss "about a month" after having surgery on his thumb, according to a source. Williams dislocated his thumb in Week 8 and will now be sidelined for a while. Ty Nsekhe will take over at left tackle for however long Williams is out. It's certainly […]

David Irving Suffers High Ankle Sprain

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle David Irving (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Titans on Monday, and he could be out four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain. Irving also missed the first four games of the season on suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He has just three […]

Nick Mullens Likely To Start In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will most likely start in Week 10 on Monday night against the Giants, but it's not yet official. “The players have four days off,” head coach Kyle Shanahan explained Friday. “I don’t need to decide right now in front of you guys. I would like to do it in […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Capsule Injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is dealing with a capsule injury in his right shoulder. He has been doing some throwing but remains out in Week 9 and could miss another couple of games. There remains no timetable for Tannehill's return, but the Dolphins believe he will play again this season. Tannehill was a […]

Aaron Colvin, Johnathan Joseph Long Shots To Play

Houston Texans cornerbacks Aaron Colvin (ankle) and Johnathan Joseph (ankle, knee) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Broncos but are considered long shots to play and are more likely to return following the Week 10 bye. That's good news for Broncos wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Courtland Sutton, who received a big boost […]

Keke Coutee Is A Game-Time Decision Against Denver

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Broncos, is regarded as a game-time decision. Coutee missed Week 8 but practiced on a limited basis all week, giving him a chance to make his return. If he can't play for the second straight game, the Texans could […]

LeSean McCoy In Team's 2019 Plans

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that running back LeSean McCoy is very much a part of the team's future heading into the 2019 season. "LeSean is still a very good player in this league. Our offense is not where we want it, but LeSean is still playing well. He's a talented player. We […]

Stefon Diggs A Question Mark For Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs' (ribs) status for Week 9 against the Lions is in more doubt after the team elevated receiver Chad Beebe off the practice squad and onto the active roster on Saturday. Diggs said on Thursday that he expects to play, but he didn't practice this week and is questionable on […]

Rangers Hire Chris Woodward To Be Next Manager

The Texas Rangers hired Los Angeles Dodgers third base coach Chris Woodward to be their next manager on Friday. The 42-year-old Woodward has spent the last three seasons as the third base coach for the Dodgers and played in the big leagues for 12 years in stints with the Blue Jays, Mets, Mariners and Red […]

Geoff Swaim Misses Practice Again Friday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. Swaim seems unlikely to play after being diagnosed with a sprained MCL during the bye week. With him likely out on Monday against the Titans, Blake Jarwin, Rico Gathers and rookie Dalton Schultz will form a committee at the […]

Dodgers Give Hyun-Jin Ryu Qualifying Offer

The Los Angeles Dodgers extended a $17.9 million qualifying offer to free-agent starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, meaning they'll receive draft-pick compensation if he signs with another team this winter. There's a chance the left-hander will accept it after he made just 15 starts in the regular season due to a groin injury. Ryu was great […]

Clayton Kershaw Agrees To Three-Year Extension

The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw agreed to a three-year, $93 million extension on Friday that includes incentives but no opt-outs. Despite showing diminished velocity and dealing with injuries again in 2018, Kershaw remained effective and one of the best pitchers in baseball. The left-handed ace went 9-5 with a 2.73 ERA, […]

Chris Carson, K.J. Wright Questionable Against Chargers

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Chargers. Both players are expected to play. Carson missed a game with a hip injury earlier this year, but he remains the team's lead back and should be locked in as an RB2 in this […]

Sony Michel, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman Questionable

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee), tight end Rob Gronkowski (back, ankle) and wide receivers Julian Edelman (ankle), Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Cordarrelle Patterson (neck) are all questionable for Sunday night against the Packers. Michel is the only one that is truly questionable, as all the others should be fine to play. […]

Randall Cobb Questionable To Face Patriots

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable to play in Week 9 against the Patriots on Sunday night. Cobb should be able to play after practicing all week, but he's likely to only be used in three-receiver sets behind Davante Adams and rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling with […]

Geronimo Allison Doubtful For Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison (groin, hamstring) is now doubtful for Sunday night against the Patriots after suffering a groin injury in practice on Thursday. Allison returned in Week 8 but caught his only target for 14 yards. With him likely missing another game, it means that rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling should once again […]

Rangers Decline Options On Four Friday

The Texas Rangers declined the 2019 options on catcher Robinson Chirinos ($4.5 million) and starting pitchers Martin Perez ($7.5 million), Matt Moore ($10 million) and Doug Fister ($4.5 million), making them all free agents. Chirinos hit just .222/.338/.419 but had 18 home runs and 65 RBI in 360 at-bats, making him one of the more […]

Ravens Without Starting Tackles Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and right tackle James Hurst (back) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Steelers. Jermaine Eluemunor will likely start at left tackle on Sunday, while rookie Orlando Brown will likely play on the right side. Those are notable losses for the Ravens offensive line in […]

Raheem Mostert Going On Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (forearm) will be placed on Injured Reserve after having surgery on his fractured right forearm on Friday. Mostert suffered a gruesome forearm break in the blowout win over the Raiders on Thursday night. It's a shame, too, as he was seeing more work in the backfield at the […]

Derek Anderson Questionable Against Bears

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) missed practice all week but is questionable for Week 9 against the Bears. It's a surprise he wasn't flat out ruled out, but perhaps he'll clear the concussion protocol on Saturday. Either way, he's unlikely to play, leaving Nathan Peterman in line for the start. Peterman is a turnover […]

Theo Riddick To Return In Week 9

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) returned to a full practice on Friday and is off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Vikings. Riddick hasn't played since Oct. 7, but his return inevitably lowers the ceiling of rookie Kerryon Johnson in the passing game. Still, Riddick is unlikely to be all […]

Melvin Gordon Gets Questionable Tag

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Coming off the bye, we fully expect Gordon to be available this Sunday. He's gone over 100 yards rushing twice this year and has nine total touchdowns as the engine of this Bolts offense. Plug him in […]

Keke Coutee, Jadeveon Clowney Questionable For Week 9

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (groin) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Broncos. Coutee missed Week 8 but was limited in practice all week, giving him a good shot to return. The addition of Demaryius Thomas as the […]

Adrian Peterson, Paul Richardson Questionable

Washington Redskins running backs Adrian Peterson (shoulder) and Kapri Bibbs (shoulder) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) were limited in practice this week and are questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons. All three will play. With Chris Thompson (ribs) out again, it'll be the Peterson show in the backfield in a good matchup. […]

A.J. Pollock, Patrick Corbin Will Receive Qualifying Offers

The Arizona Diamondbacks plan to extend $17.9 million qualifying offers to free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock and starting pitcher Patrick Corbin. With both players expected to depart in free agency, it'll allow the Snakes to receive draft-pick compensation for them. Pollock is an injury risk in fantasy, but he has shown an impressive mix of power […]

Chris Thompson, Trent Williams Ruled Out

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that running back Chris Thompson (ribs) and left tackle Trent Williams (thumb, shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Falcons. Williams had surgery to fix his dislocated thumb. Thompson continues to struggle with injuries, and he's been a low-end RB3/flex in PPR leagues when he […]

Amari Cooper To See Significant Snaps In Debut

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said wide receiver Amari Cooper will see a significant amount of snaps in his debut for the team on Monday night against the Titans. “We’re not really easing him in," Linehan said. Cooper suffered a concussion in Week 6 with the Raiders before being traded, but he hasn't played […]
