Russell Martin Activated From Paternity List

The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Russell Martin from the paternity list on Friday and also activated relief pitcher Joe Biagini (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list. Martin has been terrible this year for Toronto, hitting .194/.338/.325 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI. He will continue to lose playing time down the stretch to […]

Corey Oswalt To Start Saturday

New York Mets pitcher Corey Oswalt will start on Saturday against the Red Sox. Oswalt would be a terrible streaming option for fantasy owners. He sports a 6.62 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and weak 5.8 K/9 over 14 outings (nine starts) for the Mets this season. He'll be facing the best lineup in baseball. Stay away […]

Jeremy Hellickson Expected To Start Saturday

While not yet official, Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (wrist) is lined up to start on Saturday against the Braves instead of Jefry Rodriguez. While Hellickson has been pretty efficient for the Nats this year, he hasn't made a start since Aug. 15 and is unlikely to go very long in this game if […]

Joe Mixon May Need Surgery On Knee

The Cincinnati Bengals are fearful that running back Joe Mixon (knee) will need arthroscopic surgery to clean up the knee that he injured in the Week 2 win over the Ravens on Thursday, according to sources. Mixon will receive a second opinion first. The team's top back would obviously miss some time if he has […]

Marquise Goodwin Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) didn't practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate this year, but he had zero catches before his injury in the season opener and will now sit out in Week 2. In his absence, Pierre […]

Trevor Bauer To throw Bullpen Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) had a successful bullpen session on Wednesday and will throw another one on Saturday. Bauer was a Cy Young candidate before his unfortunate injury, going 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 214 strikeouts over 25 starts. He might be able to make an appearance or two […]

Leonard Fournette's Status Not Looking Good

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette's (hamstring) status for Week 2 against the Patriots isn't looking good. The Jaguars are listing him as questionable for this weekend, but he seems unlikely to play. Fournette was unable to get in a practice all week. This is likely to come down to a game-time decision, but with […]

Devonta Freeman Will Not Play In Week 2

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will not play on Sunday in Week 2 against the Panthers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The Falcons are hoping this isn't a long-term injury, but nothing structurally wrong was found in Freeman's knee. You can officially bench Freeman this week, and there's […]

Aaron Judge Coming Off DL Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will be activated from the disabled list prior to the game on Friday. However, manager Aaron Boone said that Judge will not hit in a game yet but will be available for baserunning and potentially defense. Judge's fantasy owners will be thrilled, but he may not see his […]

Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel Questionable For Week 2

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Jaguars. With both backs putting in multiple days of limited practice, our best guess is that they will both be active, alongside James White. Burkhead remains the preferred […]

Ben Roethlisberger Listed As Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs, but he practiced in full on Friday and his teammates expect him to play. If he can't play, Joshua Dobbs would be under center. We'd be very shocked if Big Ben didn't suit up to play. Not only is […]

LeGarrette Blount, Ezekiel Ansah Questionable

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the 49ers. Blount played very few snaps in a blowout loss in Week 1. He should be able to suit up and should be more involved, but both […]

Vance McDonald, Cameron Heyward Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) and defensive end Cameron Heyward (knee) are both questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs. Both players got in full practices on Friday, which is a good sign for their availability. Cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) is doubtful, while cornerback Artie Burns (toe) is questionable. McDonald sat out the […]

Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams Questionable

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Vikings. More will be known after the team practices on Saturday, but this is the last thing Packers fans want to see. Rodgers could play on Sunday regardless of whether he practices, […]

Corey Davis Good To Go

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 2 injury report against the Texans. Davis was heavily targeted in the Week 1 loss and should be again this weekend. However, he must be downgraded slightly with quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) ailing and expected to cede […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Will Fuller (hamstring), Sammie Coates (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back, elbow) were all limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Titans. Hopkins and Fuller are both fully expected to play this weekend. Hopkins is a […]

Andrew Cashner Receives Cortisone Injection

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner (knee) received a cortisone injection in his left knee on Thursday, but he'll try to throw on Saturday. He's dealing with patella bursitis and has affected him for the last two to three weeks. Cashner believes the injury could be a reason for his lack of fastball command of […]

David Johnson Practices In Full

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) practiced in full on Friday and labeled himself "100 percent" after being limited earlier in the week. All signs are pointing toward him being active against the Rams in Week 2. As long as Johnson is on the field on game days, he'll be a must-start for fantasy […]

Ezekiel Ansah Optimistic He'll Play

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Elliott (shoulder) said he's optimistic he will play in Week 2 against the 49ers. Ansah was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so it looks like there's a good chance he'll play this weekend. He's the team's best chance for a consistent pass rush this year, but he's often […]

Jermaine Kearse Will Play In Week 2

New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (thumb), Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) and Terrelle Pryor (ankle) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the final injury report for Week 2 against the Dolphins. It'll be Kearse's season debut, but he'll return to a crowded receiver picture where Robby Anderson and Enunwa will […]

Andre Smith Won't Play In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals right tackle Andre Smith (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Rams. This is bad news for the Cardinals offense all around against a strong pass rush of the LA Rams. While running back David Johnson remains a top-five play at his position, the Cardinals could have to abandon the […]

Marquise Goodwin Not Practicing Friday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) is not practicing on Friday, which is not a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Lions, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Goodwin hasn't practiced all week at this point, making it seem likely that he'll sit out. If that […]

Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Will Play

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (illness) and Ted Ginn (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and will play in Week 2 against the Browns. Thomas' status was never in doubt, but Ginn worried his owners by missing practice on Wednesday. They'll be the top two options for quarterback Drew Brees against Cleveland. […]

Brent Grimes, Vita Vea Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) and rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf) didn't practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Eagles. With both Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves out, life will be much easier for Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and his receivers. Wideout Nelson Agholor is pretty much […]

DeSean Jackson, Jason Pierre-Paul Questionable

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (shoulder, concussion) and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Eagles. Jackson got in a full practice on Friday, which bodes well for his availability against his old team. JPP was limited again Friday. D-Jax went over 100 yards in […]

Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin Both Out

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) and right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's never good news when both your left and right tackles are out, especially when they are as good as both Lewan and Conklin. It's […]

Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbert Could Both Play

Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Marcus Mariota (elbow) and Blaine Gabbert are both expected to see playing time in Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's a curious strategy with Mariota fighting an elbow injury, but it doesn't seem like a winning one. Mariota was a bottom-of-the-barrel QB2 in two-QB leagues to […]

Roenis Elias To Start Friday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Roenis Elias will get the start on Friday against the Angels in place of ace James Paxton (illness), who is battling pneumonia. Elias, a fellow lefty, has a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and weak 5.8 K/9 in 18 outings (two starts) this year for Seattle. He didn't go past 3 2/3 innings […]

Jose Iglesias Moved To 60-Day DL

The Detroit Tigers moved shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day DL on Friday, meaning he will miss the rest of the season. Infielder Pete Kozma was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. Iglesias finishes with a .269/.310/.389 line with five home runs, 48 RBI, 43 runs […]

Gregory Polanco Could Miss Start Of 2019 Season

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (shoulder, knee) had surgery on his labrum in addition to the stabilization of his dislocated left shoulder. The typical recovery time for this type of surgery is around seven to ninth months, which could affect Polanco's readiness for the start of the regular season. There's a good chance it does, […]
