Michael Fulmer Expected To Be Ready For Spring Training

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (knee) underwent successful surgery to fix a meniscus tear in his right knee on Thursday, and he's expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2019. Fulmer was a big disappointment for fantasy owners this year, going 3-12 with a 4.69 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7.5 […]

Rangers, Jeff Banister May Part Ways After Season

The Texas Rangers are considering parting ways with manager Jeff Banister at the end of the season even though he is under contract for 2019, according to multiple sources. However, no final decision has been made as the Rangers look to rebuild. Texas will finish with a losing record for the second straight season, but […]

Chad Kuhl Has Tommy John Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery. That means Kuhl will miss the entire 2019 season. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old. He was 5-5 on the year with a 4.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and career-high 8.6 K/9 over 16 starts. Kuhl was shut down in June.

Liam Hendriks To Serve As Opener Friday

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Liam Hendriks will serve as the opener on Friday against the Twins. Hendriks has taken to the role of late, but he won't be fantasy relevant in just an inning or two of work at the most. The right-hander has a 5.30 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 18 K's in 18 2/3 […]

Trevor Cahill To Start Sunday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) is scheduled to return from his injury and start on Sunday against the Twins. Cahill has been good for the A's this year, posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over 19 starts. He hasn't made a start since Sept. 9, though, so he may not […]

A's Hope Sean Manaea Can Pitch In 2019

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said the team is holding out hope that starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) can return at some point in 2019. Manaea had surgery on Wednesday to fix an impingement and a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He was having a very solid year before his injury, going 12-9 with […]

Taylor Lewan Practices In Full

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Barring any late-week setbacks, Lewan should return after missing just one game. It'll be a big boost to whoever is under center in a very tough matchup against the Jaguars in Week 3.

Sean Lee Expects To Play In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) said he was able to do more in practice on Thursday and expects to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee has just four tackles through two weeks, but he's typically a tackling machine and is the heart and soul of Dallas' linebacking corps. He'll be a strong […]

Andy Dalton Praises Tyler Boyd

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said that wide receiver Tyler Boyd is "so good." "He understands running routes. He’s versatile. You can move him around. He’s had a lot of production in the slot and we’ve been able to move him around too.” Boyd has nine catches on 14 targets for 117 yards and a […]

Kelvin Benjamin Returns To Full Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (hip) practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Benjamin never seemed to be in danger of missing Week 3 against the Vikings. The team's No. 1 wideout has just three catches on 10 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown through two weeks. Buffalo's offense has […]

Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley All Out Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf), running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. The surprising and unsettling one here is Jones, but he said on Thursday that he's good and is missing practice as a precaution. The veteran wideout has […]

Giovani Bernard Returns To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Bernard will be fine for Week 3 against the Panthers, where he'll be the lead back with Joe Mixon (knee) out two to four weeks. Rookie Mark Walton will help Bernard shoulder the load, but Bernard […]

Seahawks Offense Remains Unbalanced

The Seattle Seahawks are winless after two weeks and have thrown the ball 69 times compared to just 38 rushing attempts, a total that ranks 29th in the league. Running backs Chris Carson and rookie Rashaad Penny have combined for just 33 carries. Head coach Pete Carroll blamed himself and his impatience. Seattle is averaging […]

Larry Fitzgerald Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was working in practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Fitzgerald will play in Week 3 against the Bears. However, he'll need to be downgraded to more of a WR3 with the offense struggling under quarterback Sam Bradford through two weeks. Chicago's defense is clearly on […]

Anthony Castonzo Still Out

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Castonzo suffered a setback last week and looks unlikely to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Eagles. Indy's offense is pretty beat up right now, and it's not good news that quarterback Andrew Luck probably won't […]

Case Keenum Back On The Field

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) is back on the practice field on Thursday after being held out as a precaution on Wednesday with knee soreness. Keenum should be fine to play in Week 3, but he'll be facing a tough Baltimore defense on the road. The veteran led a nice fourth-quarter comeback to beat […]

LeSean McCoy's Ex-Girlfriend Still Pursuing Case

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy's ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon is certain that McCoy was involved in a July 10 home invasion in which an unknown assailant injured her. She will offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the intruder at a home that was owned by McCoy outside of Atlanta. Sources […]

Julio Jones Says He's Good

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he's good and that he was out for precautionary reasons. That's what we were expecting. Jones said he felt some tightness in the Week 2 loss to the Panthers, but he will be out there in Week 3 against the Saints in […]

Vita Vea Back On The Practice Field

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf), the team's first-round pick, is back in pads at practice on Thursday for the first time since his injury. Vea is unlikely to return in Week 3 on Monday against the Steelers, but it's a good sign that he's progressing toward making his NFL debut. His […]

No Practice For Olivier Vernon, Eli Apple

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and cornerback Eli Apple (groin) were not seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. It's looking like New York will be without both players in Week 3 against the Texans. Vernon has yet to play this year and might be questionable in Week 4 […]

Dolphins Non-Committal On DeVante Parker

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase remains non-committal on whether wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will make his season debut against the Raiders in Week 3. Parker has been practicing in full this week and looks more comfortable catching passes, but Miami may play it cautious and hold him out another week. Even if he […]

C.J. Mosley Practices On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) practiced on Thursday despite suffering a bone bruise on his knee last week. He was favoring his leg but took part in individual drills. It remains to be seen if Mosley will actually play in Week 3 against the Broncos, but this is a good sign that he's progressing […]

Alex Collins Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (illness) was seen running routes and catching passes before individual drills on Thursday, suggesting he'll be fine for Week 3 against the Broncos. Collins missed practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine for this weekend and will be a low-end RB2/high-end RB3. It's a bit concerning that he's losing […]

Antonio Brown Apologizes For Outburst

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown apologized on Thursday for his social media outburst this week and denied that he wanted to be traded. "Obviously I don’t want to be traded. I’m still grateful to put on my uniform, grateful to be part of this organization. I don’t take it for granted. Obviously it was […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Miss Another Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. That usually means a player won't play if they miss the first two days of practice. Sproles is more unlikely to play than Ajayi, but Ajayi is now looking to be on the wrong […]

Eric Berry Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is out of practice again on Thursday. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and is highly unlikely to make his season debut in Week 3 against the 49ers. An already weak secondary should continue to struggle this weekend. That's great news for San Fran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and […]

Sean Lee Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) is doing individual drills on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. It's a good sign that the oft-injured linebacker will have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. When he's playing, Lee is usually a strong IPD option for owners.

Darius Slay Out Of Practice Again Thursday

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Slay must get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance of playing on Sunday night against the Patriots, but it's not looking good right now. Slay is the team's best defensive back, so […]

Jadeveon Clowney Says He'll Play This Weekend

Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back) said he will play in Week 3 against the Giants. We wouldn't hold the oft-injured pass rusher at his word just yet, but he does have an excellent matchup against an ineffective New York offensive line on Sunday if he plays. Clowney should be in IDP lineups if […]

Trai Turner Not Practicing Thursday

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign that Turner will be able to play in Week 3 against the Bengals. Carolina is also missing both of their starting left tackles, which will continue to make things difficult for quarterback Cam […]
