AJ McCarron Going For Second Opinion

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said quarterback AJ McCarron (shoulder) is going for a second opinion, as tests on his broken collarbone were "not totally conclusive." McCarron was injured in the team's second preseason game last week. While he might not have to miss as much time depending on the tests, his injury gives […]

Richard Rodgers Week-To-Week

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers (knee) is being listed as week-to-week with a knee injury he suffered in the last preseason game. Rodgers is third on the depth chart behind Zach Ertz and rookie Dallas Goedert, so he can be ignored in fantasy.

Nick Foles To Practice Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (shoulder) is fine and will return to practice on Sunday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Foles was injured in the preseason game last week, but it obviously didn't keep him out for long. With Carson Wentz (knee) questionable for Week 1, Foles is a huge security blanket for the […]

Nelson Agholor, Corey Clement Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (leg) and running back Corey Clement (leg) are both listed as day-to-day. Both players should be fine for the regular season opener in a few weeks. Agholor set career highs in targets (95), catches (62), yards (768) and touchdowns (eight) in 2017. It could be hard for Agholor to […]

Sam Darnold Likely To Start This Week

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold received the bulk of the repetitions at practice on Sunday and is the likely starter for the third preseason game this week. Barring a bad performance this week, ESPN New York's Rich Cimini gets the impression that Darnold is the leading candidate to start in Week 1. Darnold […]

Kenny Stills Expected To Practice This Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (ankle) is expected to return to practice this week, according to head coach Adam Gase. Stills is more of a boom-or-bust deep threat, but he could be more consistent in the offense this year with target-hog Jarvis Landry gone. Stills has a chance to rise on draft boards with […]

Demaryius Thomas Sat Out With Wrist Issue

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (wrist) didn't play in the preseason game on Saturday due to a sore wrist. The injury doesn't appear to be very serious at all, and the Broncos were likely just playing it cautious with their No. 1 receiver. Thomas had a bad year in […]

Matt Joyce To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Matt Joyce (back) will start a rehab assignment on Tuesday. The veteran left-handed hitter has played in just 63 games this year due to back woes and has hit a dreadful .203 with seven home runs and 13 RBI. He could become an option off the bench and against right-handed pitchers to […]

Orlando Scandrick Signs With Chiefs

Free-agent cornerback Orlando Scandrick signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to a source informed of the situation. Scandrick was released by the Redskins last week when they decided to go younger at the position. He played in just 11 games due to a back injury in 2017 […]

Seahawks Tried To Trade For Jacoby Brissett

The Seattle Seahawks attempted to trade for Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett and offered a second-round pick, which the Colts declined. Owner Jim Irsay said early this month that the team wouldn't be parting with Brissett. Colts starter Andrew Luck looks to be close to full healthy after missing all of last year with […]

Redskins Meeting With Jamaal Charles

The Washington Redskins are meeting with free-agent running back Jamaal Charles on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 31-year-old had 69 carries for 296 yards (4.3 yards per carry) in his one season with Denver in 2017 and has been a fantasy afterthought. Washington is desperate for some depth with rookie Derrius Guice […]

Bengals Release George Iloka

The Cincinnati Bengals released safety George Iloka on Sunday. He had started every game he played in since 2013, and this was purely a financial decision, as he was due $5.3 million in salary and roster bonuses this year. Iloka's release is a good sign that rookie Jeremy Bates will enter a starting role.

Yu Darvish May Have Suffered Setback

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) left his rehab start after just one inning on Sunday after something happened in warmups in between innings. It's an ominous sign, but we won't know more until he undergoes tests. Darvish was finally making progress from an elbow injury that has kept him out since May 20. […]

Bartolo Colon Could Start Monday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Bartolo Colon (back) is doing some long toss on Sunday and could start on Monday against the A's after being scratched from his start Sunday. The ageless wonder hasn't really helped fantasy owners with his 7-10 record, 5.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and weak 5.0 K/9 over 24 outings (22 starts). He'd […]

Addison Russell Still Bothered By Hand Injury

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon believes shortstop Addison Russell (hand) is still bothered by a hand injury. "I know the hand (knuckle) is bothering him more than he's saying. I know that. But then again even if he's not doing a whole lot (at the plate) look what he's doing out there (defense)," Maddon said. […]

James Paxton Playing Catch Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) is playing catch on Sunday. Paxton is on the disabled list but may only have to miss one start after taking a line drive off his arm in his last start. The Mariners ace is 10-5 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and career-high 11.4 K/9 in 24 […]

Dominic Smith Rejoins Mets

New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith has rejoined the team as the 26th man against the Phillies on Sunday. Smith has been seeing regular repetitions in the outfield in the minors and was hitting .255/.330/.387 with six home runs in 78 games for Triple-A Las Vegas. He's been a straight bust at the major […]

Steven Wright Could Start Rehab Assignment This Week

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this week. However, he's scheduled to pitch strictly in relief when he returns to the Red Sox, which saps any of his potential fantasy value.

Austin Romine Passes Concussion Protocol

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine (head) has passed all of his tests in the concussion protocol. Romine remains out on Sunday but should return to the lineup soon as the main catcher with Gary Sanchez (groin) still sidelined. Romine is worth a spot in two-catcher leagues in a potent offense while he's playing regularly. […]

Scott Schebler To Begin Rehab Assignment Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (shoulder) will start his rehab assignment with Double-A Pensacola on Monday, and his goal is to return from the disabled list on Thursday. Schebler should return to everyday playing time with Adam Duvall now with the Braves. The left-handed slugger had 12 home runs and 37 RBI in 266 at-bats, […]

Daniel Murphy Coming On Strong

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy got off to a slow start after a late start while recovering from microfracture knee surgery, but he is hitting over .360 with an OPS near 1.000 since July 8. Murphy looks to be fully healthy, and his fantasy owners are starting to reap the benefits. With the Nationals […]

Stephen Gonsalves To Start Monday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Stephen Gonsalves has been called up and will make his major league debut on Monday against the White Sox. The left-hander is the team's No. 5 prospect. He was 12-3 with a 2.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and impressive 9.0 K/9 in 23 outings (22 starts) between Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Rochester […]

Logan Forsythe Clears Waivers

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe has cleared revocable waivers and could be attractive to other teams, namely the Indians, according to sources. Forsythe wasn't doing much with the Dodgers before they traded him, but he has hit .415 in his first 15 games in Minnesota. Forsythe was mainly a fantasy afterthought with LA, but […]

Ervin Santana Placed On DL, Robbie Grossman Activated

The Minnesota Twins placed starting pitcher Ervin Santana (finger) on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday with recurring symptoms related to his finger injury. In a corresponding move, the team activated outfielder Robbie Grossman (hamstring) from the disabled list. Santana will see a local hand specialist on Tuesday. The veteran right-hander got a late start […]

John Gibbons Won't Be Let Go Before End Of Season

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said manager John Gibbons won't be dismissed before the end of the regular season. The team will revisit Gibbons' situation at the end of the year, as he's signed through the 2019 season with an option for the 2020 season. Toronto is currently 55-68 and 32.5 games back […]

Marcus Stroman Going On DL

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) is headed to the 10-day disabled list with a lingering blister issue on his right middle finger. He left his start early on Friday after four innings because of the blister, and it was his third straight start cut short because of the injury. Thomas Pannone will […]

Luke Weaver To Bullpen, Daniel Poncedeleon To Start Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver is being moved to the bullpen in favor of starter Daniel Poncedeleon, who will start on Tuesday against the Dodgers, according to manager Mike Shildt. Weaver has been too inconsistent, going 6-11 with a 4.67 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 112 K's in 125 1/3 innings. You can drop […]

Ryan Madson Doing Electric Therapy

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Ryan Madson (back) is in Phoenix, Arizona, doing electric therapy for his back. It doesn't sound like the veteran reliever will be back anytime soon. He was an option in the ninth inning for a short period of time with both Sean Doolittle and Kelvin Herrera injured, but that didn't last […]

Sean Doolittle Feels OK After Bullpen

Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) said he just "felt OK" and not great during his last bullpen session. There remains no timetable for Doolittle's return, although he should be able to make it back sometime next month. The left-hander was one of the best closers in baseball before his injury, so he should return […]

Stephen Strasburg To Rejoin Rotation Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) will come off the disabled list and rejoin the starting rotation against the Phillies on Wednesday. The Nats are desperate and are throwing Strasburg back into the fire without a rehab assignment. He hasn't pitched in a big league game since July 20, so expect there to be […]
