It was believed that Bell would report last week with the team off, but that didn't happen and he may not return until Week 9. As long as he continues his […]

Tyler Naquin May Be Starting Right Fielder

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin might be the best bet to open the 2019 season as the team's starting right fielder. He has recovered nicely from his hip surgery on July 26 and was playing games against prospects when the minor league playoffs ended. He hit .264 (.651 OPS) with three home runs and 23 […]

Brandon Guyer Unlikely To Re-Sign

The Cleveland Indians are unlikely to re-sign pending free-agent outfielder Brandon Guyer after he hit .206 (.671 OPS) with seven home runs and 27 RBI in 2018. Outfielders Michael Brantley, Lonnie Chisenhall, Rajai Davis and Melky Cabrera will also be free agents this winter. Guyer is a mostly a bench bat, leaving him little fantasy […]

Adrian Peterson Will Play Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) is active for Week 7 against the Cowboys. Peterson has been battling nagging injuries for weeks but hasn't missed any time.

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Inactive In Week 7

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Cowboys.

[…]

Pierre Garcon, Trent Taylor Active Against Rams

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) are both active in Week 7 against the Rams. Both were questionable coming into this one.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck) left the game early in Week 7 against the Vikings and will not return. Powell ran the ball five times for 20 yards and caught one pass for five yards before exiting. With Powell out the rest of the way, Isaiah Crowell should see most of the […]

Blake Bortles Benched In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has been benched in Week 7 against the Texans in favor of Cody Kessler. Bortles was just 6-for-12 for 61 yards and two lost fumbles before being benched. He's had two terrible games in a row and will now give way to Kessler. Even if Bortles gets the start in […]

Erik Swoope Injured Against Bills

Indianapolis Colts tight end Erik Swoope (knee) left the game early in Week 7 against the Bills and is questionable to return. Swoope caught his only target for a 17-yard touchdown before leaving this game, so he rewarded fantasy owners that were desperate enough to start him. Eric Ebron will remain the main pass-catching tight […]

Keke Coutee Injures Hamstring Sunday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return.

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (ankle, leg) was carted to the locker room in Week 7 against the Bears.

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (head) has been ruled out of Week 7 against the Colts after suffering a head injury on the team's first drive of the game.

Eagles Considering DeVante Parker

The Philadelphia Eagles are one team considering trading for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker, according to a source.

A change of […]

Breshad Perriman Active In Week 7

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Breshad Perriman is active and will make his team debut in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.

You can do much better in fantasy […]

Duke Johnson Listed As Week 7 Starter

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson is listed as the starter for Week 7 against the Buccaneers, but a team spokesperson said rookie Nick Chubb could start over Johnson depending on the formation the offense uses to begin the game. It's merely a formality and doesn't mean much. Both Chubb and Johnson see their fantasy […]

DeVante Parker, A.J. Derby Inactive For Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Lions. Parker and Derby both practiced this week, so they are more of healthy scratches. Parker has played in just two games this year and has just two catches for 40 yards. He's quickly […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Active Against Patriots

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both active in Week 7 against the Patriots. There was never much doubt whether each would suit up.
