Reds Interview Tom Prince For Managerial Position

The Cincinnati Reds interviewed Pittsburgh Pirates bench coach Tom Prince for their managerial opening. Prince would have to be considered somewhat of a long shot for this job considering some of the other names that have mentioned, such as David Bell, Joe Girardi, John Farrell, Jim Riggleman and Brad Ausmus, among others. The Reds are […]

Ehire Adrianza Out 3-4 Months

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins infielder Ehire Adrianza (shoulder) had surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder on Tuesday and will be out three to four months. It's the reason why he wasn't switch hitting at the end of the year. The good news is that it's to Adrianza's non-throwing shoulder. […]

Dansby Swanson Prescribed Rest

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) was prescribed rest and he's not expected to have any long-term concerns. "Talking to the doctors, he just needs rest and time. He just needs to heal and he should be fine. It's just something that will take a while. He'll continue treatment and rest […]

J.A. Happ Available In Relief In Game 4

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ is available to pitch in relief in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Happ had a disaster of a start in Game 1 on Friday, allowing five earned runs on four hits in just two innings of the loss. Even […]

Titans Release Nick Williams, Austin Davis

The Tennessee Titans released wide receiver Nick Williams and quarterback Austin Davis on Tuesday. Williams dropped a potential game-winning touchdown in Week 5. He played in two games for the Titans this year and has only 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Davis is no longer needed with Blaine Gabbert […]

Kayvon Webster Headed To Injured Reserve

Houston Texans cornerback Kayvon Webster (quadriceps) is being placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Defensive back and special teamer Mike Tyson has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Webster had just made his season debut in Week 5 on Sunday night. It's another big loss for a […]

K.J. Wright Won't Return In Week 6

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) will run hard this week but won't play in Week 6 against the Raiders. Wright has yet to play this year after having surgery late in training camp. They could really use his presence alongside Bobby Wagner now that Mychal Kendricks is suspended indefinitely […]

Steve Pearce Hitting Third Tuesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Steve Pearce is starting at first base and hitting third against Yankees starter CC Sabathia in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday. First baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) remains out of the lineup after injuring himself on Saturday, while infielder Brock Holt will take a seat after posting […]

Aaron Hicks Returns; Andrew McCutchen, Miguel Andujar Out

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) is back in the leadoff spot and in center field for Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello. Andrew McCutchen, who has two hits in three games of the series, is on the bench with Brett Gardner in left […]

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Armani Watts Put On IR

The Kansas City Chiefs placed offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (leg) and safety Armani Watts (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed free-agent linebacker Frank Zombo in a corresponding move. Although Duvernay-Tardif wasn't a very effective starter on the offensive line, it'll be a hit to KC's line moving forward.

Bengals Waive Thomas Rawls

The Cincinnati Bengals waived running back Thomas Rawls on Tuesday. It's a bit surprising with Giovani Bernard (knee) out a few weeks, but the Bengals apparently are comfortable with rookie Mark Walton backing up Joe Mixon in the meantime.

Aldrick Rosas Held Out Of Practice Tuesday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) was held out of practice in the portion open to the media on Tuesday. The Giants are likely resting Rosas on a short week against the Eagles this Thursday, but it's something worth watching. Expect Rosas to play unless New York adds a kicker before Thursday. Although Rosas […]

Adrian Peterson Expected To Play In Week 6

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (shoulder) is dealing with a strained shoulder and will get a second opinion, but he is expected to play in Week 6 against the Panthers, according to a source. It's not a foregone conclusion that Peterson will be able to play this Sunday, although he'll remain in play as […]

Eagles Offensive Line Not Up To Par

The Philadelphia Eagles offensive line has been a weakness so far through five weeks of the season. "Right now we're struggling on the offensive line because we have to block longer. We have a quarterback that's coming off of an injury and he wants to make a play," left tackle Jason Peters said. "We just […]

Raiders Defense Is Struggling

The Oakland Raiders defense is allowing 6.8 yards per play this year, which is the fourth worst mark of any defense after five weeks since the 1970 merger, according to Pro Football Reference. We doubt that'd be the case if Oakland hadn't traded All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack to the Bears before Week 1. In […]

Falcons Offense Struggling Outdoors

The Atlanta Falcons offense has struggled so far in two road games outdoors (at Eagles and at Steelers), averaging 14.5 points in those two losses. Running backs Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith combined to average less than 3.0 yards per carry on 18 attempts against Pittsburgh. That shouldn't be a worry for fantasy […]

Chargers Backfield On Pace To Make History

The Los Angeles Chargers backfield of running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler is on pace for 3,216 yards from scrimmage this year, which would top the record for a backfield duo set by Saints backs Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram in 2017 (3,094 yards). Gordon is an RB1 each and every week, especially now […]

Adrian Gonzalez Plans To Play One More Year

Free-agent first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said he plans to play one more season. Gonzalez hit .237/.299/.373 with six home runs and 26 RBI in 54 games in 2018 before the Mets released him. He has a better shot at resurfacing in the American League where he can serve as a designated hitter, but there's no […]

Steelers Sticking With Chris Boswell

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with kicker Chris Boswell despite his three missed extra points this year and three missed field goals. "This guy has delivered for us a lot the last few years," head coach Mike Tomlin said. Despite Boswell's struggles, he remains in play in fantasy as well with the Steelers offense capable […]

Jaguars Add David Williams, David Grinnage To Active Roster

The Jacksonville Jaguars added running back David Williams and tight end David Grinnage to the active roster on Tuesday. Williams was signed off the Broncos practice squad, while Grinnage was promoted from the practice squad. Williams will likely be third on the depth chart behind T.J. Yeldon and recently-signed Jamaal Charles for Week 6 against […]

Justin Houston Could Miss Multiple Weeks

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) could miss multiple weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5, according to a source. He will be very questionable for Sunday night against the Patriots. Houston has been a big part of KC's pass rush this year, accumulating 11 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles […]

Dee Ford Having Great Year

Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford is having a great year through five games after he had one sack, four quarterback hits and a hurry in the Week 5 win over the Jaguars. With Chris Jones and Justin Houston causing havoc up front, the Chiefs pass rush has quietly impressed even if their secondary […]

Miguel Sano Could Play Winter Ball; Byron Buxton Will Not

The Minnesota Twins are hoping that third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) will play winter ball in the Dominican Republic, but outfielder Byron Buxton will not play winter ball. If Sano's knee checks out fine, he should play winter ball as he looks to improve after hitting a disappointing .199/.281/.398 with 13 home runs and 41 […]

Ehire Adrianza Having Left Shoulder Surgery

Minnesota Twins infielder Ehire Adrianza (shoulder) is having surgery on his left shoulder, according to general manager Thad Levine. The operation will help fix his labrum, but he should be ready for spring training next year. Adrianza hit .251/.301/.379 with six homers, 39 RBI and five steals in 114 games for the Twins this year […]

Jaguars Signing Jamaal Charles

The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing free-agent running back Jamaal Charles on Tuesday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, running back Brandon Wilds was waived. That means that Charles should be the direct backup to T.J. Yeldon in Week 6 against the Cowboys. The veteran back had 69 carries for 296 yards (4.3 yards […]

Bengals Working Out Clive Walford

The Cincinnati Bengals worked out free-agent tight end Clive Walford on Tuesday, according to a source. The Bengals lost Tyler Eifert (ankle) for the year in Week 4 and Tyler Kroft (foot) was banged up in Week 5, so the Bengals want some more depth behind C.J. Uzomah moving forward. It's unclear how much time […]

Bucs Sign Ali Marpet To Extension

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms on a six-year deal with offensive guard Ali Marpet on Tuesday. The deal will begin this year and will add five years to the deal. Marpet has been solid on the team's offensive line since he was drafted in the second round in 2015, although he missed some […]

Browns Promote Dontrell Hilliard To Active Roster

The Cleveland Browns promoted running back Dontrell Hilliard from the practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday and waived defensive back Jerimiah McKinnon in a corresponding move. Hilliard was an undrafted free agent and had 32 carries for 82 yards and two receptions for 28 yards in the preseason. With Carlos Hyde, Duke Johnson […]

Darren Sproles Misses Practice Again

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) is missing his second straight practice on Tuesday. Sproles hasn't appeared in a game since the season opener and looks highly unlikely to suit up on a short week against the Giants on Thursday. There remains no timetable to return. Even with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the […]

Eagles Asking About LeSean McCoy

The Philadelphia Eagles have inquired about trading for Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy, according to a source. McCoy spent the first six years of his career with the Eagles and would likely to be willing to leave a rebuilding project in Buffalo. The Eagles need help at running back with Jay Ajayi (knee) done […]
