Randall Cobb Ruled Out For Week 5

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Lions. Cobb will have missed the team's last two games now, and he won't be a lock to return in Week 6. With Cobb out and Davante Adams (calf) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) questionable, the Packers may have […]

Greg Olsen Could Return This Week

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) practiced in limited fashion on Thursday and could return as early as this weekend against the Giants. He is recovering from a fractured right foot that he suffered in the season opener. "The fact that Olsen practiced yesterday, probably going to practice today, barring any setbacks could in […]

Chris Carson, Doug Baldwin Limited Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) and wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) were limited in practice Thursday. It's a good sign for Carson after he missed practice Wednesday, although he was limited all of last week and was still inactive. If Carson returns, he'll now have to split carries with Mike Davis and Rashaad […]

Marquise Goodwin Returns To Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. It puts Goodwin on track to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals, where he could be covered by cornerback Patrick Peterson. Not only is it a bad matchup, but Goodwin has become a […]

Darius Leonard Will Not Play Thursday

Despite being active, Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) and cornerback Nate Hairston (ankle) will not play on Thursday night against the Patriots. Leonard has four sacks through his first four games and has been a starting-caliber linebacker in IDP leagues. You'll have to find another option this week, though, With Hairston out, the […]

CC Sabathia Makes ALDS Roster

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia and reliever Stephen Tarpley have been added to the roster for the American League Division Series against the Red Sox in favor of infielder Tyler Wade and catcher Kyle Higashioka. It's unknown if Sabathia will actually get a start in this series or if he'll just be an […]

Masahiro Tanaka To Start Game 2 Of ALDS

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will start Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Saturday. Tanaka went 12-6 for the Yanks this year with a 3.75 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 9.2 K/9 across 27 starts. His problems come with the long ball, as he allowed 1.4 per […]

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Playing Thursday Night

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) are both active on Thursday night against the Colts. Gronk's ankle injury was never deemed serious, but he'll likely be at less than 100 percent against Indy. As long as he's on the field, he's a must-start for fantasy owners. Gordon […]

Adam Vinatieri, Darius Leonard, Anthony Castonzo Active

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin), rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) are all active on Thursday night against the Patriots. Vinatieri might struggle for kicking opportunities if a banged-up Colts team is playing from behind all night, which makes him a weak fantasy play. Leonard and safety Clayton Geathers […]

Kevin Gausman, Sean Newcomb Could Start Games 3 And 4

Atlanta Braves starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Sean Newcomb are the front-runners to pitch in Games 3 and 4, respectively, against the Dodgers in the National League Division Series. However, manager Brian Snitker wouldn't rule out using either pitcher or Julio Teheran in relief before then. Gausman was much better for the Braves than with […]

Travis Benjamin To Be Out 2-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) has a cast on his foot on Thursday and is expected to be out two to three weeks, according to a source. The Chargers are hoping he can return against the Titans in Week 7 or after the Week 8 bye. Benjamin aggravated his foot injury last […]

Charles Clay Misses Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Clay had the same routine last week and had a season-high four catches on six targets for 40 yards in the 22-0 loss to the Packers last week. We'd expect Clay to play on Sunday against the Titans […]

Patriots Release Kenjon Barner Thursday

The New England Patriots released running back Kenjon Barner on Thursday in order to make room on the 53-man roster for wide receiver Julian Edelman, who is returning from a four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. Barner has already been released twice by the Pats this year. With Rex Burkhead on Injured Reserve, rookie Sony Michel […]

Alvin Kamara, Cameron Meredith Limited

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) and wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Both players should be good to go for Monday night against the Redskins. Even though Mark Ingram's return from a four-game suspension will eat into Kamara's touches a bit, he remains a must-start as […]

Ted Ginn Does Not Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) did not practice on Thursday. Ginn will need to return to practice either Friday or Saturday to have a chance to play on Monday night against the Redskins. He has two scores this year but only 12 catches on 22 targets for 135 yards in four weeks. […]

Alex Collins' Missed Practice Was Precautionary

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins' (knee) missed practice on Thursday was precautionary, according to a source. Collins should be able to play this Sunday against the Browns. However, his 3.5 yards per carry and two lost fumbles make him more of a low-end RB2 for fantasy owners. The fact that Javorius Allen continues to […]

J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney Return To Full Practice

Houston Texans defensive ends J.J. Watt (thigh) and Jadeveon Clowney (foot) both took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Against an offensive line that hasn't been as good as they were in recent seasons, both Watt and Clowney could be in line for big games against a subpar Dallas […]

Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Mohamed Sanu Practice In Full

Atlanta Falcons running backs Devonta Freeman (knee) and Tevin Coleman (shin) and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) all practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. All three will play in Week 5 in what could be a shootout against the Steelers. Freeman will return from a three-game absence and should be a […]

Marshawn Lynch Back At Practice Thursday

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday for the first time this year. Beast Mode ranks fourth in rushing yardage with 300 after four games, and he'll remain a volume-based RB2 for fantasy owners in Week 5 against the division-rival Chargers.

Tyrod Taylor Not Looking For Trade

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor won't rule out the idea of asking for a trade to a quarterback-needy team, but he's not actively seeking a trade. Taylor is in the final year of his contract and can be a free agent in 2019. “Right now, I’m focusing on getting healthy and continue to keep […]

Richard Sherman Could Return This Week

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) will return to practice on Thursday and could return from a one-game absence thanks to a "fresh leg program." If Sherman does return, he could be matched up against future Hall of Fame receiver Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals. Sherman's presence in the secondary would be bad news […]

Corey Davis Back To Full Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Davis will play in Week 5 against the Bills. With better health from quarterback Marcus Mariota, it's no wonder Davis had his best game in Week 4 with nine catches on 15 targets for 161 […]

Dalvin Cook Questionable For Week 5

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is calling running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) questionable for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook has yet to practice this week, so as of now he looks to be on the wrong side of questionable. The second-year back just hasn't looked good so far and had only 10 carries […]

Blaine Gabbert Clears Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Now that starter Marcus Mariota appears to be past his right elbow injury, Gabbert has no chance of seeing the field in Week 5 against the Bills. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues unless Mariota is injured […]

J.A. Happ To Start Game 1 Of ALDS

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ has been named the starter for Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Friday. Happ was very solid for the Bronx Bombers after they traded for him, going a perfect 7-0 with a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 8.9 K/9 over 11 […]

Dolphins Not Optimistic About DeVante Parker

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase didn't sound optimistic about wide receiver Devante Parker's (quadriceps) status for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker has put in limited practices each of the last two days, but it still might not be enough to get the green light after he sat out in Week 4. The 25-year-old […]

Julio Jones Returns To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, hand) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Jones will usually sit out on Wednesdays regardless, so this is nothing new. He will play in a great matchup against the Steelers in Week 5, where he will be a high-end WR1. We wouldn't be surprised […]

Dalvin Cook, Trae Waynes Still Out

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) remain out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It doesn't bode well for their chances of suiting up in Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook continues to be bothered by his hamstring and had just 10 carries for 20 yards […]

Larry Fitzgerald Back At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Cardinals are being cautious with their veteran, so he should play in Week 5 against the 49ers. But with Arizona's offense struggling to move the ball consistently and with a rookie under center, Fitz has become […]

Quincy Enunwa Added To Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Enunwa should be fine to play in Week 5 against the Broncos unless he suffers another setback on Friday. He has been rookie quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite target through four games, but it hasn't amounted to a ton of […]
