Joe Maddon Will Return In 2019

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that manager Joe Maddon will return in 2019 despite uncertainty stemming from the team's disappointing end to the 2018 season. The Cubs were eliminated 2-1 in 13 innings in the wild-card game on Wednesday against the Rockies. Chicago has been a playoff team in all four years Maddon has […]

Chris Sale Throws Another Bullpen Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale threw his second bullpen session in as many days on Wednesday in anticipation of his start in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday. "Yesterday, the bullpen was okay, but it was indoors," manager Alex Cora said. "It was more about mechanics and getting loose. […]

Alfred Morris, Jaquiski Tartt Practice In Full

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris (knee) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. Both are lined up to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals. Morris had a terrible game with just four carries for 14 yards in Week 4 against the Chargers. He's had 3.8 yards […]

Matt Breida Limited In Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback this week, Breida should be good to go in Week 5 against the Cardinals in a great matchup. Arizona allows the second most fantasy points per week to running backs. Breida had a […]

Charles Clay Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. With a terrible offensive line and a rookie quarterback under center, Clay just can't be trusted by fantasy owners in starting lineups. He had his best game of the season in Week 4, catching four passes on six targets for 40 yards. […]

Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbert Practice In Full

Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Marcus Mariota (elbow) and Blaine Gabbert (concussion) and running back David Fluellen (groin) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Mariota appears to be past his elbow issues after going 30-for-43 for 344 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the Week 4 win over the Eagles. He also ran for his first […]

Corey Davis Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Davis should be fine to suit up this weekend against the Bills. He's coming off by far his best game of the season in Week 4 when he had nine catches on 15 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown. Davis' fantasy […]

Von Miller Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (thigh) was limited in practice Wednesday. Miller should be fine to suit up in Week 5 against the Jets. Miller has been surprisingly quiet the last few weeks and has just three tackles and no sacks in that time period. Through four weeks, the 29-year-old has 15 total tackles, four […]

Bucs Work Out Charcandrick West

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers worked out free-agent running back Charcandrick West on Wednesday, according to a source. West had 18 carries for 72 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 27 receptions for 150 yards and two more scores in 2017 with the Chiefs. Tampa's running back situation hasn't looked good through four weeks with […]

Kris Bryant Not Expected To Need Surgery

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is not expected to need offseason surgery. Bryant's 2018 season was a disaster because of his shoulder injury that he suffered during a slide in June. He was gone for an extended time and wasn't the same in the second half when he […]

Damarious Randall Effective While Playing Injured

Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall (heel), who suffered a badly bruised heel on Sept. 16 against the Saints, has been effective while playing hurt. He has only taken part in one practice and was limited since getting hurt. Despite that, he was the highest ranked safety at Pro Football Focus in Week 4 and has […]

Browns Optimistic On Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said he has "a great level of optimism" that both wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and rookie Antonio Callaway (knee) will be able to play in Week 5 against the Ravens after sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Landry is the team's undisputed top wideout and should remain a […]

Cubs Would Like To Bring Cole Hamels Back

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that the team would be interested in bringing starting pitcher Cole Hamels back for next season. “He’s absolutely someone we want to be part of the mix going forward. Cole was such a breath of fresh air for us. He made an unbelievable impression. For a guy who’s been […]

Jhoulys Chacin To Start Game 2 On Short Rest

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Rockies on Friday on short rest. Chacin allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings to help beat the Cubs to capture the division title on Monday. However, we wouldn't expect better results on short rest this Friday […]

Wade Miley Projected To Start Game 1 Of NLDS

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley is projected to start Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Rockies on Thursday. The left-hander was a nice surprise in 2018, going 5-2 with a 2.75 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 80 2/3 innings over 16 starts. However, he struck out just 5.6 […]

Antonio Senzatela Likely To Start Game 1 of NLDS

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela is likely to start Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers on Thursday. The right-hander has been much better as a starter than a reliever this year, posting a 3.95 ERA with 55 strikeouts and 24 walks in 13 starts. […]

Marshawn Lynch, Jalen Richard Miss Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running backs Marshawn Lynch (groin, shoulder) and Jalen Richard did not take part in practice on Wednesday. It's the first missed practice for both players this year. Lynch hardly practices during the week to begin with, so this shouldn't be much of a cause for concern. He's looked like the Beast Mode of […]

T.Y. Hilton, Marlon Mack, Jack Doyle Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring), running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and tight end Jack Doyle (hip) have all been ruled out for Thursday night against the Patriots. Hilton leads the team with 21 catches for 294 yards on 38 targets through four weeks. That leaves the Colts criminally short-handed against New England. […]

Joe Mixon Will Play Against Dolphins

Updating previous reports, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) practiced on Wednesday and will play in Week 5 against the Dolphins, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. Mixon had arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 15 and missed two games. While Mixon could be eased back in, he immediately returns to the RB2 map for fantasy […]

Giovani Bernard Misses Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Bernard's injury coupled with the likely return of Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins means that Bernard's value is dropping after he served as an RB1 the two weeks that Mixon was out. At best, Bernard might be an RB3/flex […]

Dalvin Cook, Trae Waynes Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Cook admitted Monday that his hamstring is still bothering him after he had only 10 carries (none in the second half) for just 20 yards last Thursday. Even when healthy, he's averaged just 2.7 yards per carry and […]

Paxton Lynch Working Out For Bucs

Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, a failed first-round pick for the Broncos, is working out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, according to a source. Jameis Winston will take over the starting quarterback duties from journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick when the team comes out of their Week 5 bye. Lynch has been making the rounds ever […]

Davante Adams Puts In Limited Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Adams should not be in any danger of sitting out in Week 5 against the Lions. He will likely be shadowed by cornerback Darius Slay, but Adams remains a WR1 as long as quarterback Aaron Rodgers is throwing him passes. The […]

Jimmy Graham Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Packers are likely just resting their veteran tight end early in the week. Graham caught three of his six targets for 21 yards and his first touchdown of the season last weekend. If both wideouts Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison […]

Julio Jones Sits Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, hand) did not practice on Wednesday. The veteran Jones hardly ever practices on Wednesdays, so don't be alarmed. Jones has now gone over 100 yards in two of four games and posted 96 yards in Week 3, so it's made up for the fact that he has yet […]

Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Mohamed Sanu Limited

Atlanta Falcons running backs Devonta Freeman (knee) and Tevin Coleman (shin) and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Freeman is set to make his return after injuring himself in the season opener. In a favorable matchup against the Steelers, he should be penciled in as an RB2, even if he's […]

J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans defensive ends J.J. Watt (thigh) and Jadeveon Clowney (foot) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Both pass-rushers should be fine for Sunday night against the Cowboys, where they'll be strong IDP plays. Watt has five sacks in the last two games along with 20 tackles through four weeks. He's also forced fumbles already. […]

Will Fuller, Lamar Miller Limited In Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) and wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, hamstring, thumb), Will Fuller (hamstring), Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Fuller aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 4 and could be questionable this Sunday night against the Cowboys. If he's out, Coutee, who […]

Cole Beasley, DeMarcus Lawrence Limited Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. It puts them both on track to play this Sunday night against the Texans. Beasley is the leading receiver on this team, which tells you something about their lack of depth, and has 16 catches […]

Terrance Williams, Sean Lee Not Practicing

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams (personal) and linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Williams sat out of Week 4 due to personal reasons and might sit out again Sunday night against the Texans. Lee is set to miss his second straight game and is likely to miss Week 6 as well. […]
