Cobi Hamilton Works Out For Patriots

Free-agent wide receiver Cobi Hamilton worked out for the New England Patriots on Friday, according to a source.

Devante Mays Injured Friday

Green Bay Packers running back Devante Mays (leg) walked off the practice field with athletic trainer Kurt Fielding on Friday after pulling up with what appeared to be a leg injury. The severity of the injury is unclear, so check back for more updates. The 24-year-old had just four carries for one yard in eight […]

Kerryon Johnson Looking Good In Pass Protection

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson looked solid in pass protection this week in training camp. Rookie runners often struggle with pass protection early on, so this is a great sign for Johnson in the long term as well as the short term. He might struggle for consistent fantasy value in 2018 with LeGarrette […]

Keke Coutee Out For A Few Weeks

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be out for a few weeks with a strained hamstring. He's expected to miss at least the team's preseason opener next week against the Chiefs.

No Setbacks For Carson Wentz

Despite the fact that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) hasn't taken part in team drills in five straight practices, head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that it's all part of the plan and that Wentz hasn't had any setbacks. "That's not controlled. The situation is controlled, but the actions are not..." the coach said. […]

Jeremy Hill Could Be Last Running Back On Roster

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill has a better chance of securing the final running back spot on the roster over Mike Gillislee, in the opinion of NESN's Doug Kyed. Gillislee has had a tough time staying healthy. Rookie Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead are locks, and Brandon Bolden will likely make […]

Tavon Austin Has Been Spark Plug Of Receiving Unit

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin is being called the "spark plug" of the wide receiver group in training camp and has been used all over the field. He has lined up in the slot, on the outside and taken handoffs on end-arounds. The 28-year-old is also the front-runner to be the punt returner. Austin […]

Leonard Fournette Could Become Bigger Receiving Threat

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette could become more of a receiving threat out of the backfield in his second season. He's been a frequent target of quarterback Blake Bortles in 11-on-11 drills on screens. “I could always catch,″ said Fournette, who had 36 receptions for 302 yards last season. “It’s up to Nathaniel in […]

Jonathan Villar Could See Time At Shortstop

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Villar, who had a couple hits while playing second and leading off in his debut with the team on Thursday, could see some time at shortstop. Villar's injured right thumb appears to be healthy, and he'll be given the green light to run as often as he'd like to close […]

Jarrod Dyson Slowly Progressing

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson (groin) did some work on a treadmill on Thursday but has yet to do on-field running, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Dyson also continues to work through a throwing progression. Dyson remains intriguing in fantasy because of his speed (16 steals), but he was hitting .189 with only two home […]

Jung Ho Kang To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang (wrist) will have season-ending wrist surgery that will keep him out for around three months, according to a source. The Pirates have a $5.5 million option on Kang for next year, so he may be playing for another team in 2019. Kang hasn't played in each of the […]

Chance Adams To Make MLB Debut Against Red Sox

The New York Yankees plan to call up pitching prospect Chance Adams on Saturday to make his major league debut against the Red Sox. Adams is the team's 13th-ranked prospect, but he's struggled at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year to the tune of a 3-5 record, 4.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. He does have 102 punchouts […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Looks Good In First Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) tossed four scoreless innings while striking out four and giving up two singles in his first rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Ryu has been out for three months after tearing his groin off the bone, so he'll need at least a handful more starts before becoming […]

Dee Gordon Leaves With Ankle Injury

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (ankle) left the game early on Thursday in the top of the ninth inning after rolling his right ankle when he stumbled on second base while trying to catch a throw. He was helped off the field and replaced by infielder Andrew Romine. He was 1-for-3 in the game […]

Wil Myers In Walking Boot

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (foot) left the field in a walking boot on Thursday, although X-rays came back negative. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam and a CT scan.

Quincy Enunwa Out 1-2 Weeks

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) is expected to miss one to two weeks with a thumb injury, according to a source. He was spotted with a wrap around his right hand at the start of practice on Thursday and was limited in the spring while recovering from a neck injury that kept […]

Blake Swihart Day-To-Day

Boston Red Sox catcher/outfielder Blake Swihart (hamstring) is being listed as day-to-day with a tight right hamstring. Swihart went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Thursday before being lifted from the game. He has very minimal fantasy value with his .226 average, one home run and six RBI in 125 plate appearances.

Eagles Expected To Use A Lot Of Two-Tight End Sets

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use a ton of two-tight end sets in 2018 involving tight ends Zach Ertz and rookie Dallas Goedert. Twenty three percent of the team's offensive snaps last year involved 12 personnel -- one running back, two tight ends and two receivers -- which was sixth most in the league. […]

Baker Mayfield, Rashard Higgins Connecting Often

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Rashard Higgins have been hooking up often in training camp, and Thursday was no different. Mayfield threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Higgins down the left side on Thursday. It's encouraging for the third-year wideout, but Higgins is just too far down the depth chart currently […]

Jarvis Landry Has Become Tyrod Taylor's Go-To Receiver

With Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon still absent at training camp, Jarvis Landry has become quarterback Tyrod Taylor's go-to guy. The wideout had a vintage one-handed catch in the back corner of the end zone over cornerback E.J. Gaines on Thursday. Landry has caught everything within reach. While it'll be extremely difficult for Landry […]

Chase Utley Placed On DL

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed second baseman Chase Utley (wrist) on the 10-day disabled list on Thursday with left wrist inflammation. LA's infield is now jam packed with Justin Turner off the DL, Manny Machado at shortstop and new acquisition Brian Dozier at the keystone. Utley wasn't much of a fantasy factor to begin with, […]

Zach Davies Likely To Make Two More Rehab Starts

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (shoulder) got through his rehab start on Wednesday without any physical setbacks, but he's likely to make at least two more rehab starts in the minors before returning from the disabled list. Davies hasn't pitched in a big league game since May 29, so the Brewers are making sure […]

Pablo Sandoval To Have Season-Ending Surgery

San Francisco Giants third baseman/first baseman Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) will have season-ending surgery to fix a hamstring tear. The Panda hadn't really done much for the fantasy owners this year but was a useful utility guy for the Gigantes, hitting .248 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in 230 at-bats. With Brandon Belt still […]

Jeff Samardzija Making Progress

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) is "making progress" and threw a 20-pitch side session on Thursday. Samardzija has been out since July 14 and wasn't doing anything for fantasy owners anyway before his injury. He's 1-5 on the year with a 6.25 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and only 30 strikeouts over 44 2/3 […]

Hunter Strickland Throws To Hitters

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Hunter Strickland (hand) threw 20 pitches to hitters at the team's spring training complex on Thursday and should be ready to come off the 60-day disabled list when he's eligible in 16 days. Strickland had been serving as the team's closer but has been out since June 18. Will Smith […]

Brandon Belt Swinging The Bat

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) has been swinging in the indoor cages and will take ground balls this weekend. Belt has been on the disabled list since hyperextending his knee on July 25. He's having a solid year with the Giants, hitting .278 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI. It might […]

Kevin Zeitler Out A Few Weeks

Cleveland Browns guard Kevin Zeitler (calf) is dealing with a calf injury that will keep him out for "awhile" in training camp, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson is hoping Zeitler can be back in "a few weeks." Zeitler was solid for the Browns last year and should be fine for the regular season.

Cole Wick Carted Off Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end Cole Wick (knee) was carted off the field with a right knee injury on Thursday and was taken to a local hospital. The second-year tight end landed awkwardly on his leg trying to haul in a high pass. Wick was already behind George Kittle and Garrett Celek on the depth […]

Brandon Marshall Takes Part In Team Drills

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle, toe), who had toe and ankle surgeries in the offseason, took part in team drills for the first time in training camp on Thursday. He was limited but caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Russell Wilson in red-zone drills. “It was a unique situation for me this whole […]

Quincy Enunwa Misses Another Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hand) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, though, so Enunwa should return to the field soon. He missed all of last year with a neck injury but is likely to be the No. 2 receiver behind Robby Anderson in 2018. […]
