Eric Berry Out For Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Jaguars. Berry has yet to practice in the regular season and doesn't look close to making his season debut. The veteran's presence would go a long way in helping the KC secondary stop the bleeding in what has […]

Sammy Watkins, Dee Ford Playing Versus Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and linebacker Dee Ford (groin) are both active in Week 5 against the Jaguars. Watkins had no catches on just one target last Monday night before leaving the game, but he's good to go for this one. In a tough matchup against an elite secondary, Watkins is […]

Darrius Heyward-Bey Inactive For Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) is inactive in Week 5 against the Falcons after missing practice all week. Heyward-Bey has yet to record a catch this season, so he hasn't been anywhere near the fantasy radar. His absence will mostly be felt on special teams on Sunday.

Charles Clay Active Against Titans

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) is active for Week 5 against the Titans after being listed as questionable. There wasn't much concern over his status after he practiced in full on Friday. In a tough matchup in a poor offense, Clay isn't on the fantasy radar for a starting spot. He has only […]

49ers Activate Victor Bolden

The San Francisco 49ers activated wide receiver Victor Bolden from the suspended list to the active roster and promoted defensive lineman Ryan Delaire from the practice squad while waiving safety Tyvis Powell and offensive guard Najee Toran in corresponding moves on Saturday. While this might not be good news for Marquise Goodwin, who is questionable […]

Ender Inciarte To Bat Second In Game 3

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said outfielder Ender Inciarte will bat second in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler on Sunday. Third baseman Johan Camargo, who has hit second in the first two games of the series, is hitless in eight at-bats against two lefty starters. With a […]

Braves Leaning Toward Sean Newcomb In Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is listed as the Game 3 starter for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Sunday, but the team is now leaning toward using Sean Newcomb in that game. It could be because the Dodgers are much more beatable when they have to face lefties on the […]

Jeremy Maclin Getting Healthy

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is close to being healthy and should have some workouts/visits with receiver-needy teams soon, according to a source. The Eagles came close to signing him before they settled on Jordan Matthews. The veteran wideout should be able to find a team once he proves he's fully healthy, but […]

Ted Ginn Ruled Out For Monday Night

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Redskins. Ginn has two touchdowns through four weeks but hasn't done a whole lot else besides that for fantasy owners. With him out, it will open up opportunities for rookie Tre'Quan Smith and Cameron Meredith against Washington. […]

Cowboys Not Interested In Reunion With Dez Bryant

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the organization isn't interested in re-signing wide receiver Dez Bryant. “Trust me, if it were in our best interest, his and ours and the teams, then he would be on the field for the Cowboys,” Jones said. “I agree where we are and his status right now. I agree […]

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Heath Hembree will replace Steven Wright (knee) on the roster for the American League Division Series against the Yankees, according to a source.

Rick Porcello Unlikely To Be Available For Game 3 Of ALDS

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello threw a bullpen session before Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees on Friday and entered the game in relief in the eighth inning, so he likely will be unavailable to pitch in Game 3 of the series. That means the Red Sox might […]

Terrance Williams Put On Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Terrance Williams (foot) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Williams has battled his injury and off-field injuries this year and hasn't made an impact on the field, catching both of his targets for only 18 yards in three games played. With Williams out of the picture, it should help rookie […]

Travis Frederick Being Placed On IR

The Dallas Cowboys will place center Travis Frederick (illness) on Injured Reserve to make room for defensive tackle David Irving on the active roster, according to a source. It's another blow to an offensive line that has been in decline. Joe Looney is expected to continue manning the center spot for Dallas moving forward.

Cameron Wake Ruled Out Against Bengals

The Miami Dolphins have ruled defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) out for Week 5 against the Bengals. With Andre Branch questionable to play, Miami's defensive line could be a weakness for them this Sunday. That is great news for Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and the team's running game. Wake has recorded 12 tackles and one […]

Lions Waiving Hakeem Valles

The Detroit Lions waived tight end Hakeem Valles on Saturday. With the Lions having a plethora of injuries to their defense, they will likely use the spot to add another defender ahead of Week 5 against the Packers. Valles had only two catches on three targets for 11 yards in three games this year. Even […]

Rishard Matthews To Work Out For Browns, Cardinals

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews has workouts planned with the Cleveland Browns on Monday and the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Matthews was curiously not being used by Tennessee's new coaching staff, so he asked for and was granted his release. He is just two years removed from a 945-yard, nine-touchdown season, so Matthews can still […]

Evan Engram Getting Closer To A Return

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is out in Week 5 against the Panthers, but he did some running and light cutting on a side field during practice this week, marking the first time he was able to do these activities since he sprained his right MCL two weeks ago. He'll miss his […]

Joe Mixon Not Expected To Be Fully Unleashed

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't expect to fully unleash running back Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins after he missed some time with his knee injury. Lewis said there will be some limits for Mixon due to his conditioning taking a hit during the rehab process. That means that fourth-round […]

Alex Erickson's Role To Increase

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson's role is expected to increase in Week 5 against the Dolphins with John Ross (groin) ruled out. Erickson earned the most snaps at receiver of any game this year by a wide margin in Week 4 and was also the third running back behind Giovani Bernard and rookie Mark […]

Steven Wright Undergoes MRI On Knee

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee on Friday since it was bothering him before Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees.

Barring any setbacks, Garoppolo should […]

49ers Offensive Line Banged Up Entering Week 5

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) are both questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals, while right guard Mike Person (knee) was limited in two practices this week. Left tackle Joe Staley (knee) is the most in question and probably the most important, as he'd be […]

Tyler Higbee, Mark Barron Questionable

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) and linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are both questionable for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Higbee is fully expected to play, while head coach Sean McVay said he's "feeling good" about Barron making his season debut. However, Barron could be […]

Kevin Gausman Lined Up For Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers as long as he's not used in relief in Game 2 on Friday.

Clint Frazier Resting At Home

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (concussion) is at home and is resting, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Aaron Hicks Injured In Game 1

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) left the game early on Friday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox with right hamstring tightness.
