Kohl Stewart Shut Down For The Year

Minnesota Twins pitcher Kohl Stewart will be shut down for the year after throwing a combined 145 1/3 innings this year. Stewart had just 82 innings thrown in 2017. The 23-year-old performed well in his first big league action, going 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 5.9 K/9 over eight outings (four starts). […]

Jack Conklin Hopes To Return This Sunday

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) got in a full practice on Wednesday and is hoping to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Eagles. The All-Pro tore his ACL in the playoff loss to the Patriots in January and hasn't played in a game since. Unless Conklin suffers a setback in […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Wednesday Ahead Of Week 4

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited on Wednesday in practice. This is pretty much standard procedure for Lynch at this point, so you should fully expect him to play this Sunday against the Browns. Cleveland's defense is on the rise in 2018, but Lynch has also scored in three straight weeks to […]

Travis Benjamin Gets In Limited Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Benjamin has been close to playing each of the last two weeks, but he wound up being inactive both times. With second-year wideout Mike Williams scoring two times last week and essentially becoming the No. 2 behind Keenan Allen, Benjamin won't […]

Keenan Allen Does Not Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. There's nothing to convince us that this is a serious injury, but we'll have to keep an eye on Allen's practice status the rest of the week. If Allen does play as we would expect, he'll be a strong WR1 choice against […]

Marcus Peters Questionable, Mark Barron Doubtful

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. Linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) was limited on Wednesday but his doubtful to make his season debut. We'd be pretty surprised if Peters plays on a short week after his injury was initially […]

Dalvin Cook Questionable For Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Rams. Cook will likely come down to a game-time decision, but as of now things don't look good. On a short week, the Vikings will likely play it cautiously with their second-year back. Even if Cook is active, […]

Trevor Rosenthal To Hold Showcase Next Month

Free-agent relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (elbow) announced on Twitter that he will hold a workout for interested teams on Wednesday, Oct. 3, in Irvine, Calif. Rosenthal had a 3.40 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, career-high 14.3 K/9 and 11 saves for the Cardinals last year before he needed Tommy John surgery in August. If he's fully healthy, […]

Kris Bryant Receives Good News

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) is sore after being hit by a pitch on Tuesday, but his wrist isn't as swollen as the team thought. Bryant is out on Wednesday and could miss another game or two, but he should be able to return this weekend and into […]

Dansby Swanson Has Partially Torn Ligament

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) has been diagnosed with a partially torn ligament in his left hand. He will undergo treatment in Atlanta for the rest of the week and then be re-evaluated next week before the start of the playoffs. Swanson injured himself on a swing in the game Tuesday. There's a chance […]

Sal Romano Could Start Sunday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Sal Romano could start on Sunday against the Pirates in the regular season finale if he's not used in relief on Friday. Romano had a few decent starts here and there in 2018, but he was too erratic mostly for those to rely on him in mixed leagues. The right-hander is 8-11 […]

Wilmer Flores' Injury Not Serious

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) has "some arthritis buildup" in his knees. The injury isn't believed to be serious and wouldn't have kept Flores out for more than 10 days if it weren't the end of the regular season. Even on a bad team, Flores didn't see regular playing […]

Jerad Eickhoff Lined Up To Start Friday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff is lined up to start against the Braves on Friday in place of Zach Eflin (oblique), who is done for the year with a strained oblique, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Eickhoff has pitched two innings this month but missed the rest of the season due to an injury. […]

Ji-Man Choi Should Be Available Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said first baseman Ji-Man Choi (head) doesn't have a concussion on Wednesday, although he's sore from a collision at home plate on Tuesday. The Rays will try to stay away from him on Wednesday, but he should be available on Thursday. Choi also needed stitches on his ear. The […]

Tyler Anderson Playing Catch Wednesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (shoulder), who was scratched from his start on Monday, said he felt good and was seen playing catch on Wednesday. Anderson's injury doesn't appear to be too serious, which could set him up to make one final start of the regular season this weekend against the Nationals. The left-hander […]

Aaron Hicks Expects To Play Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) hit in the cages and ran on a treadmill on Wednesday and said he feels "great." Hicks expects to return to the starting lineup on Friday. The star outfielder has been beat up since last weekend but should return this weekend and be available for the wild-card game […]

Jose Abreu Won't Play Again This Year

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said first baseman Jose Abreu (thigh) is done for the rest of the season. Abreu had a rough second half after needing surgery for testicular torsion and then going to the hospital with a severe infection in his thigh. Overall, the slugging Cuban hit .265/.325/.473 with 22 home […]

Joey Bosa To Be Out Until At Least Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) said that he will likely be out at least until the team's bye week, which is in Week 8. He had his cast removed this week and is now in a protective boot, but there remains instability in the tendon of his bruised left foot. Bosa's absence […]

Patriots Working Out Jeremy Kerley

The New England Patriots are working out free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Kerley on Wednesday, according to a source. Even with Julian Edelman due back next week and after trading for Josh Gordon last week, the Patriots are in need of more receiver depth. Kerley was released by the Bills a few weeks ago and is […]

Ryan Succop Dealing With Knee Tendinitis

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that kicker Ryan Succop (knee) is dealing with knee tendinitis. Succop may be forced to sit out of Week 4 against the Eagles as a result. If you own Succop in fantasy, you should start looking for other options this weekend.

Rishard Matthews Out For Personal Reasons

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews missed practice on Wednesday due to a personal reason, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Matthews has just three catches on six targets for 11 yards in three weeks and has been an afterthought in this offense to begin the year. That could change over time, but Matthews is […]

Ito Smith A Limited Practice Participant

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (ribs) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Smith should be able to suit up this Sunday against the Bengals, and he should once again have a role behind Tevin Coleman with Devonta Freeman (knee) expected to miss another game. Smith didn't do anything on the ground last week but […]

Anthony Miller, Prince Amukamara Not Practicing

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) and cornerback Prince Amukamara (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Miller appeared to dislocate his shoulder late in the Week 3 win over the Cardinals, so his status is certainly in question for this weekend against the Buccaneers. Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel would see their roles increase […]

Ted Ginn, Cameron Meredith Limited Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Ted Ginn (knee) and Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Ginn and Meredith should both have good chances of suiting up in Week 4 against the Giants. Anyone in New Orleans' high-flying attack is on the fantasy radar. Ginn has been the team's No. 2 wideout […]

Four Texans Receivers Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, hamstring, thumb), Will Fuller (hamstring), rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Hopkins and Fuller should be locks to play against the Colts in Week 4 in what is an excellent matchup. Both of Houston's top two wideouts have big […]

Lamar Jackson, Terrell Suggs Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Jackson should be fine to be active for Week 4 against the Steelers, but we'll have to monitor the practice status of Suggs the rest of the week. Quarterback Joe Flacco has been solid to start the year, […]

David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert Practice In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) both practiced in full on Wednesday after missing Week 3. It's looking like both players have a good chance to return in Week 4 against the Ravens. That would be music to the ears of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the ground game […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Not Practicing Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster (abdomen) did not practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if Smith-Schuster was just being rested or not, but this is something to keep a close eye on as the week progresses. The second-year wideout has been a must-start after three weeks in the season and has built on his impressive […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Takes Most Of Starter's Reps Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took the majority of first-team snaps in practice on Wednesday after Jameis Winston has returned from his three-game suspension, according to a source. All signs point to the Bucs sticking with FitzMagic under center for Week 4 against the Bears after he has eclipsed 400 yards passing each of […]

LeSean McCoy Says He's Playing This Week

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs), who was limited in practice Wednesday, said he will play in Week 4 against the Packers. McCoy sat out the surprising Week 3 upset over the Vikings, and he's averaging 3.8 yards per carry on 16 totes in two games in 2018. It's been an uphill battle for […]
