Jeff Banister Fired Friday

Updating a previous report, the Texas Rangers fired manager Jeff Banister on Friday. Bench coach Don Wakamatsu has been named the interim manager for the rest of the 2018 season. Banister led the team to division titles in 2015 and 2016 and was named American League Manager of the Year in 2015. However, the team […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Won't Play

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts. Neither back was expected to play this weekend after missing practice all week. Corey Clement (quadriceps), who is questionable, is expected to shoulder the load against Indy. If he actually plays, he has […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) will not play in Week 3 against the Bills. It's a shame for Cook's fantasy owners, as he was facing a great matchup in the lowly Bills. His injury didn't appear too serious, so the Vikes are likely playing it safe with […]

Jack Conklin Questionable Against Jags

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jaguars. The Titans are already getting left tackle Taylor Lewan back this weekend, so Conklin returning would be another big plus for the team's offense. It's unclear who will start under center for the Titans on Sunday, but whoever […]

Browns To Make Decision On QB On Monday

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said he will meet with the team on Monday to give his decision on the starting quarterback. There isn't much suspense here. Everyone knows it'll be rookie Baker Mayfield after he replaced the injured Tyrod Taylor (concussion) right before halftime and led the team to its first win in […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Not On Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) returned to a full practice on Friday and is not on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Titans. Seferian-Jenkins has six catches on nine targets for 48 yards and a score through two weeks. He's more of a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy owners.

Marcus Mariota Gets Questionable Tag

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Jaguars. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the team will decide in the next 24 hours. Mariota was active last week but sat and watched Blaine Gabbert direct the team to a win. Mariota has made progress in practice this week […]

Reshad Jones Questionable For Week 3

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Raiders. Jones is one of the better IDP safeties to employ on a weekly basis, but you might need to look for other options. If he sits out, it'll be an upgrade for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and deep-threat receiver […]

Eric Berry Doubtful Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the 49ers. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and has no timetable for a return. His absence is bad news for a secondary that has been torched in the first two weeks of the season. Expect that to continue this […]

Corey Clement Should Be Fine

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps), who was limited in practice Friday and who is questionable for Week 3 against the Colts, should be fine to play. The Eagles limited him on Friday as a precaution with both Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) being ruled out. Clement should now be owned in […]

Corey Clement, Alshon Jeffery, Jason Peters Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps), wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) and left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) are all questionable to play in Week 3 against the Colts. Clement is a new entry on the injury report. It's not a good sign, but we'd still expect him to suit up and fill in as […]

Addison Russell Placed On Administrative Leave

Major League Baseball placed Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell on administrative leave on Friday with an investigation of domestic violence re-opened. Russell may not play for the rest of the regular season or even into the playoffs if the team qualifies. He's been a big disappointment this year while hitting only five home runs and […]

Rangers To Replace Jeff Banister As Manager

The Texas Rangers plan to replace Jeff Banister as their manager before the end of the season, according to sources. The 54-year-old will not return for a fifth season in 2019 despite helping the team to division titles in 2015 and 2016. The Rangers will complete their second straight losing season in 2018. He was […]

Julio Jones Ready For Week 3

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said wide receiver Julio Jones (calf) is ready for Week 3 against the Saints after running full-speed routes in practice. Jones said on Thursday that he was fine despite missing practice this week. The veteran wideout is used to gutting it out through minor injuries. Keep him locked in […]

Cardinals Won't Rush Josh Rosen

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim made it clear that the team won't rush rookie quarterback Josh Rosen onto the field in 2018. Head coach Steve Wilks said that Sam Bradford remains the starter "right now" heading into Week 3 against the Bears. "It's a tough question," Keim said. "When the time is right, Josh […]

Addison Russell Not Expected To Be Available Friday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell is not expected to report to the ballpark on Friday after domestic-abuse allegations made by his ex-wife have resurfaced. It's unclear if Major League Baseball will re-open the investigation or if Russell will be potentially suspended when all is said and done, but it's not a good look for a […]

Greg Olsen, Curtis Samuel, Trai Turner Ruled Out

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot), wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) and right guard Trai Turner (concussion) have all been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bengals. Olsen has no timetable to return but is hoping to be back at some point this year. Rookie Ian Thomas will be the team's main pass-catching […]

Marlon Mack, Jack Doyle, Anthony Castonzo Won't Play

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (foot, hamstring), tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) will not play in Week 3 against the Eagles. It's a big blow to quarterback Andrew Luck and the offense in a tough matchup this weekend. With Mack out, rookies Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines should […]

Olivier Vernon, Eli Apple Ruled Out

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and cornerback Eli Apple (groin) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Texans. Vernon is dealing with a high ankle sprain and hasn't played yet this year. It might be a struggle for him to play in Week 4 as well. Apple's loss is a […]

T.J. Yeldon Questionable Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Titans. Yeldon looks to be in danger of sitting out this weekend while Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to return after missing Week 2. Even if Yeldon is inactive, he'll be fighting for scraps behind Fournette if he's playing […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Sitting Out Friday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) were both not practicing on Friday in the period open to reporters. It's not a good sign after both players have missed practice all week. Cook's hamstring cramps seemed to be minor earlier in the week, but perhaps Minnesota holds him out […]

Browns Not Naming Baker Mayfield The Starter Yet

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson refused to name rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield the starter moving forward after he led the team to a comeback win -- and their first win since December of 2016 -- on Thursday night against the Jets. "I'd like to watch the tape," Jackson said. It's likely just lip service, […]

Leonard Fournette, Jalen Ramsey Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and cornerback Jalen Ramsey (ankle) are both questionable for Week 3 against the Titans. Fournette has been feeling much better this week after sitting out in Week 2 and got in limited practices, so we'd expect him to return this weekend as an RB1. Ramsey is one of […]

Takkarist McKinley Returns To Practice

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) is back at practice on Friday after missing the last two days. McKinley is one of the better young pass rushers in the game and already has two sacks through the first two weeks. He's not a lock to play in Week 3 against the Saints, and if […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Not Practicing Friday

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) remained out of practice on Friday, indicating that they are both unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Colts. It's shaping up for Corey Clement to be the lead back this Sunday, with Wendell Smallwood and rookie Josh Adams backing him up. Clement […]

Taylor Lewan Clears Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol and should be active in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Against a strong pass rush of the Jaguars, this is excellent news for whoever is under center for the Titans this Sunday.

Olivier Vernon, Eli Apple Not Practicing Friday

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and cornerback Eli Apple (groin) are not practicing on Friday. Neither player has practiced all week, making it doubtful that they'll suit up for Week 3 against the Texans. If neither play, it's good news for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and the rest of the offense on […]

Sean Lee Expected To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee has had a quiet start to the season but is a tackling machine and is a strong IDP play when he's on the field.

Jadeveon Clowney Expected To Play

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said it looks like defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back) will be able to play in Week 3 against the Giants. The oft-injured Clowney missed last week but should be able to return on Sunday. He's a must-start in IDP leagues if he's active against a weak Giants offensive line.

Richard Sherman Expected To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he expects cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) to practice on Friday and play in Week 3 against the Chiefs. "I expect him to be out there (Sunday). He didn't practice yesterday; he's had some wear and tear on his heel ... We're taking it smart with him," […]
