Rick Porcello To Start Game 3 Of World Series

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that starting pitcher Rick Porcello will start Game 3 of the World Series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers on Friday. Nathan Eovaldi won't be available to start until at least Game 4 after tossing two innings in relief in each of the first two games. Porcello won […]

Dodgers Still Plan To Use Julio Urias As Starter In 2019

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to build pitcher Julio Urias up as a starter again for the 2019 season, according to manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers were careful with Urias this year after he was recovering from left shoulder surgery, which is part of the reason why he's been pitching in relief for them in […]

Yoenis Cespedes' Heel Surgery Delayed

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes' (heel) left heel surgery has been delayed a few days due to a scheduling conflict, but it should still be done by the end of this month, which would keep him on track to begin baseball activities around late February/early March. Cespedes had surgery on his right heel earlier […]

Ndamukong Suh Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Rams could just be resting their stud defensive tackle in the middle of the season. The 31-year-old remains one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL and has 20 tackles and three sacks through the first seven weeks of the […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Out Through Bye Week

Multiple league sources have indicated a belief that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will miss the team's next two games against the Saints and Lions and remain out through the Week 10 bye. Cook just hasn't been able to stay healthy so far in his career after missing most of last year after […]

Keke Coutee, Ryan Griffin Ruled Out For Thursday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) missed practice on Wednesday and have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. Coutee said after the game Sunday that he wouldn't be able to play on the short week after aggravating his hamstring that cost him games earlier […]

Bilal Powell's Career In Jeopardy

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, will have season-ending surgery on his neck. The injury could also be career-threatening, according to head coach Todd Bowles. The 29-year-old Powell will be a free agent after this season, so he may struggle to find work. He'll finish […]

Cooper Kupp Doubtful For Week 8

Although Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) is making good progress, he's doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Packers, according to head coach Sean McVay. With Kupp likely to miss his second straight game, Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks will once again have higher fantasy ceilings. Josh Reynolds, who will be […]

Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa Miss Practice

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (ankle) and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. With Enunwa expected to miss another week or two with his high ankle sprain, the Jets can ill-afford to have Anderson sit out in Week 8 against the tough Bears defense. Anderson disappointed with only three receptions on […]

Ronald Jones II Sees First-Team Reps Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said rookie running back Ronald Jones II "got the majority of everything today" in Wednesday's practice with Peyton Barber (ankle) sitting out. The Bucs aren't giving out much information on Barber's injury, so he might be in danger of sitting out in Week 8 against the Bengals. If […]

No Practice For Larry Fitzgerald Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fitzgerald is likely just being rested, so he should be fine to play in a good matchup in Week 8 against the Niners. The 35-year-old veteran caught his first touchdown last Thursday but has been very unproductive otherwise with rookie quarterback Josh Rosen […]

Isaiah Crowell Practicing In Full

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) is practicing in full on Wednesday for the first time in three weeks. It's good news, especially since Bilal Powell (neck) is having season-ending surgery. Crowell's workload might increase slightly, but rookie Trenton Cannon should help on passing downs until Elijah McGuire (foot) returns from the Physically […]

Seth Roberts On Week 8 Injury Report

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) is listed on the Week 8 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. He'll need to be cleared from the concussion protocol in order to play this Sunday against the Colts. With Amari Cooper traded to the Cowboys, Roberts' role in the offense will grow as […]

Rashaad Penny, Ed Dickson, Nick Vannett Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (finger) and tight ends Ed Dickson (quadriceps) and Nick Vannett (back) were all limited in practice on Wednesday coming off their bye week. Penny may have suffered a setback from his finger injury he suffered in training camp, but there's no indication it'll keep him out this weekend […]

Ricky Seals-Jones A Full Participant

Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (forearm) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He suffered what looked to be a serious injury in last Thursday's loss, but he said he would be alright, and that looks to be the case. With Arizona's offense struggling, Seals-Jones hasn't seen much production. He has only one […]

Mike Gesicki, A.J. Derby Questionable Against Texans

Miami Dolphins tight ends Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and A.J. Derby (foot) are both listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Texans. Derby was limited on Wednesday after missing Monday and Tuesday, while Gesicki practiced in full on Wednesday after two limited sessions earlier in the week. Derby also missed last week and seems unlikely […]

Demaryius Thomas On Injury Report

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (wrist) finds himself on the Week 8 injury report, although he practiced in full on Wednesday. Thomas has been very mediocre for fantasy owners this year with just one 100-yard game. He had just four catches on seven targets for 24 yards against KC in their first meeting, but […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Miss Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. Both players missed practice last Wednesday before suiting up in Week 7. Robinson was a non-factor against New England, though, catching just one of five targets for only four yards. If active, Robinson should be able to […]

Christian Vazquez Behind The Plate In Game 2

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez is doing the catching in Game 2 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday over Sandy Leon. Vazquez will bat ninth against Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu. Vazquez hit .207/.257/.283 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 251 at-bats this year, including .231/.296/.308 with zero homers against […]

Marlon Mack Limited With Ankle Injury

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Mack seems to always be dealing with some sort of injury this year, but he should be good to go in Week 8 against the Raiders after a season-best performance in Week 7. With Mack the clear lead back over […]

Aaron Rodgers Practicing In Full

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday. It appears the bye week did Rodgers' left knee a lot of good. He's improving as the year progresses, so hopefully he won't suffer a setback during game action. Rodgers remains an elite QB1 and will likely have to pass often on […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming off the team's bye week. St. Brown will likely be able to play in Week 8 against the Rams, but there's no guarantee he'll be active with Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) expected to return after missing […]

Golden Tate, Ameer Abdullah Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (ankle) and running back Ameer Abdullah (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday, as was defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder). Tate's injury is worth monitoring, but we suspect he'll be fine for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Tate has had two mediocre games in a row and hasn't […]

Theo Riddick Still Missing From Practice

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) did not practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 7. The fact that Riddick was inactive coming off the bye week is not a good sign, and he doesn't look likely to play again in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Riddick will likely be found on most […]

Albert Wilson Put On IR, Leonte Carroo Promoted

The Miami Dolphins placed wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted Leonte Carroo from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. While Wilson isn't expected to need surgery, his season is likely over. He can be dropped in all leagues. With Kenny Stills also out for […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Not Practicing

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) are sitting out of practice on Wednesday, as are left tackle Joe Staley (knee) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf). It's looking unlikely that Breida and Garcon will play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. With Raheem Mostert playing well in Week […]

David Njoku Lands On Injury Report

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is on the injury report for Week 8 against the Steelers and was limited in practice on Wednesday. Njoku should be fine to play and has come on strong of late, posting back-to-back games with touchdowns and having 29 targets in the last three weeks. He had seven […]

Josh Rosen Returns To Practice Wednesday

As Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expected, rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. Rosen suffered a toe injury late in last Thursday's blowout loss to the Broncos, but he should be fine to suit up in Week 8 against the 49ers. Rosen was a disaster last week and hasn't looked […]

Cam Newton Dealing With Sore Shoulder

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Newton was a little bit sore and tired coming out of Week 7. Newton has gone over 300 yards passing just once this season, but he's completing 65.6 percent of his passes and has 11 passing touchdowns, […]

Doug Martin The Team's Feature Back

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden called running back Doug Martin a "feature back" with Marshawn Lynch (groin) on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old Martin hasn't done much of anything this year, rushing 27 times for 99 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. There's nothing to suggest he'll be more effective with a larger […]
