Lamar Miller To Return In Week 6

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back Lamar Miller (chest) will return in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active on Sunday night against the Cowboys, but he didn't play a single snap. He hasn't been really effective in four games this year and will merely be a low-end RB2 option […]

Miguel Sano Won't Face Charges

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano will not face criminal charges for his involvement in an accident in the Dominican Republic on Sunday after he hit a police officer and broke his leg. Sano was speaking to an officer after leaving a club and backed his pickup truck up without realizing that the officer hadn't […]

Mike Foltynewicz To Start Game 4 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz will start Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on short rest on Monday. Folty allowed four earned runs (two homers) in just two innings in the Game 1 loss in Los Angeles last Thursday. Atlanta is hoping he can give them more length in […]

Brian McCann, Tony Kemp In Lineup For Game 3

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is doing the catching and hitting eighth in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against Indians starter Mike Clevinger. Outfielder Tony Kemp is serving as the designated hitter and batting ninth. Catcher Martin Maldonado and first baseman Tyler White will start on the bench. McCann is hitless in […]

Patriots In Contact With Mike Gillislee

The New England Patriots have been in contact with free-agent running back Mike Gillislee, who was released by the Saints on Saturday. Gillislee spent last year with New England, and the Patriots could use more running back depth with Rex Burkhead and Jeremy Hill done for the season. Rookie Sony Michel and James White are […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Practicing Monday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continue to practice on Monday. It's a good sign for both, but we'll have to see what the rest of their practice participation is this week, starting on Wednesday. Castonzo made his season debut last Thursday against the Patriots, so he should […]

O.J. Howard Won't Practice Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is wearing a heavy brace on his left knee and will not practice on Monday. He's walking on it with no noticeable limp, however. Howard is expected to miss two to four weeks with his sprained MCL. In the meantime, Cameron Brate will be the main pass-catching […]

Matt Breida Has Mid To High Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) suffered a mid to high ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Cardinals and will undergo an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source. He might not play next week with the team wanting to give him some time to rest so that it won't bother […]

Ryan Kalil Injured, Thomas Davis Returns

Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 5 win over the Giants, but there has been no further update from head coach Ron Rivera. Also, linebacker Thomas Davis is returning from his suspension in time for Week 6 against the Redskins. The Panthers have dealt with enough injuries to […]

Panthers Hope To Have Greg Olsen In Week 6

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) has a chance to play in Week 6 against the Redskins, according to head coach Ron Rivera, who said "hopefully he'll be ready to roll on Wednesday." Olsen broke his right foot in the season opener and was expected to miss four to five weeks. His foot fracture […]

Riley Reiff Suffers Foot Injury

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Riley Reiff (foot) suffered a foot injury in the Week 5 win over the Eagles. He also suffered a foot injury against the Bills a few weeks ago, and he played through it last week against the Rams on a short week. Minnesota's offense line is beat up and can't afford […]

X-Rays Negative For Matt Breida

X-rays turned up negative on San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) after he had to be helped off the field in the Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, according to a source. He is being listed with an ankle sprain. Breida could miss time, but it's not the worst-case scenario. If Breida is […]

Lamar Miller Not Likely To Play

Despite being active for Week 5 Sunday night against the Cowboys, Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) is "not likely to play," according to a source. Instead, Alfred Blue will get the start and serve as the lead back, making him an RB3/flex choice for those that have him handcuffed to Miller. With Miller […]

Alvin Kamara, Cameron Meredith Off Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) and wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice all week but were taken off the final injury report for Week 5 on Monday night against the Redskins. Both will play in the game. Despite Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension, Kamara remains an […]

Will Fuller, Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Active Sunday Night

Houston Texans wide receivers Will Fuller (hamstring) and Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back Lamar Miller (chest) are all active in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night after being questionable to play. Fuller has scored in all three games he's played in this year and is a favorite target of quarterback Deshaun Watson. […]

Corey Grant Likely Done For The Season

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) likely suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the year, according to sources. Leonard Fournette was out this weekend and isn't guaranteed to return in Week 6, so Jacksonville is now incredibly thin in the […]

Kerryon Johnson Says He's Fine

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) said "I'm fine" after the Week 5 win over the Packers when he suffered an ankle injury. "If I can walk, run, if I'm standing, I always want to go back in, so that's what I'm going to do," Johnson said. The rookie finished with 70 yards […]

Cooper Kupp Leaves With Head Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (head) left the game in the third quarter of Week 5 against the Seahawks to be evaluated for a concussion. The good news for Kupp's fantasy owners is that he had six catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The bad news is that […]

Brandin Cooks Being Evaluated For Concussion

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) was removed from the game in Week 5 against the Seahawks and is being evaluated for a concussion. Cooks caught a pass, suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit and fumbled on the play. The play was called back because of a penalty, so Cooks didn't actually record a catch […]

Matt Breida Questionable To Return

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals after suffering an ankle injury. The good news for fantasy owners is that Breida had eight carries for 56 yards and a five-yard touchdown catch before leaving. If he's forced to miss time […]

Miguel Sano Detained By Police In Dominican Republic

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano has been detained by police in the Dominican Republic after a traffic incident Sunday morning in which Sano ran over a police officer. The police officer suffered a broken leg. Sano was driving without license plates and didn't have identification. It's unclear if Sano might face a suspension from […]

CC Sabathia Expected To Start Game 4 Of ALDS

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he is "pretty locked in" to have starting pitcher CC Sabathia start in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Sabathia was solid for the Yankees this year, but he's not longer the high-strikeout ace he's been in the past. The […]

Aaron Hicks Ready To Return

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) said he feels ready to play in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Monday after he was injured in Game 1 on Friday. Brett Gardner started in his place in center field in Game 2 on Saturday. Hicks would be facing […]

Jose Altuve Expected To Be Fine For Game 3

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said he's "not expecting any problems" for second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) after he banged his right knee in the sixth inning on Saturday in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Indians. Altuve is now 2-for-8 with a solo homer in the series and will remain […]

David Freese Hitting Third In Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder David Freese is starting at first base and is hitting third in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Braves left-handed starter Sean Newcomb on Sunday. That moves Cody Bellinger to center field, while he's hitting sixth. Outfielders Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig will start on the bench. Bellinger […]

Rashard Higgins Doubtful To Return In Week 5

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) was injured in Week 5 against the Ravens and is doubtful to return. Higgins was productive before his injury, catching three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown on four targets. With Cleveland looking to limit rookie Antonio Callaway's snaps moving forward, Higgins could be in line for […]

C.J. Prosise, K.J. Wright Inactive

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) are inactive in Week 5 against the Rams. Prosise is a healthy inactive with Chris Carson returning from a one-game absence. Prosise is nowhere near the fantasy radar while being buried on the running back depth chart. The Seahawks could really use Wright back […]

Frank Clark Active In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (illness) is active in Week 5 against the Rams despite missing practice time this week while dealing with food poisoning. Clark will surely be needed against the high-flying Rams offense on Sunday, especially now that safety Earl Thomas (knee) is out for the season with a broken leg.

Tyler Higbee Playing Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is active in Week 5 against the Seahawks. Higbee has just three catches on five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in four games this season. Even with the tight end position being extremely thin, fantasy owners can't realistically count on Higbee for consistent production.

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman, Joe Staley Active

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder), cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) are all active for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Breida has been the much more impressive back than Alfred Morris through four weeks, and Breida is in the RB2/3 mix once again in a game where he […]
