Olivier Vernon, Eli Apple Miss Practice

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and cornerback Eli Apple (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. Vernon has yet to play this year as he works his way back from a high ankle sprain. The G-Men need his presence to improve their lackluster pass rush. If both he and Apple are out in […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Parker was limited last week but didn't play for the second straight week. It's already looking like he's primed to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders, which […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Do Not Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Doug Pederson has said that both players are day-to-day, but their availability for Week 3 against the Colts is looking sketchy. Sproles will almost certainly be doubtful, but Ajayi is more questionable. Either way, Corey Clement should […]

Wilmer Flores To Be Evaluated

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) is returning to New York to be checked out by doctors on Wednesday, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Even with the Mets well out of the playoff race, Flores hasn't been playing much and hasn't been very effective when he's been in there. There's a good chance that […]

Curtis Samuel Making Progress

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said "everything looks promising" for wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart), who hasn't been practicing since undergoing a heart procedure in Week 1. He is being evaluated by trainers and has "been allowed to do certain workouts." Still, it doesn't look like Samuel will be available in Week 3 against […]

Paul Richardson Undergoes MRI

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee, but it came back negative. Richardson has been beat up this year already, which is perhaps why the team signed two receivers this week. He has eight catches on 12 targets for 85 yards through two weeks but is more of […]

James Paxton, Felix Hernandez Won't Pitch This Weekend

Seattle Mariners starting pitchers James Paxton (illness) and Felix Hernandez (hamstring) aren't lined up to start this weekend against the Rangers. If either pitcher makes one final start this year, it'll have to come at some point in the final week. Neither would be very attractive options coming off layoffs, but Paxton has been Seattle's […]

Zack Wheeler Shut Down

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said that starting pitcher Zack Wheeler will be shut down for the year. Corey Oswalt will fill his spot on Saturday against the Nationals. It ends a fantastic year for Wheeler, who finishes 12-7 with a 3.31 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 179 strikeouts in 182 1/3 innings across 29 […]

Curtis Samuel, Trai Turner Miss Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) and offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd (knee) was limited. Samuel has yet to play this season because of issues related to an irregular heartbeat, and he can continue to be ignored in fantasy as well as Byrd. Carolina's offensive […]

Josh Reddick Running Sprints

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (ankle) is running sprints in the outfield on Wednesday. The outfielder left the game early on Monday with an ankle issue, but he might not be out for long. Reddick hasn't been all that attractive to those in mixed leagues this year, hitting .240/.312/.391 with 15 home runs, 44 RBI […]

Dalvin Cook Practicing Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday. Cook came out of the game in overtime in Week 2 due to cramps. He should be fine for Week 3 against the lowly Bills and will be a strong RB1 play.

Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley Not Practicing

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) are not practicing on Wednesday. Freeman is expected to be out for multiple weeks, so Tevin Coleman should once again be an RB3/flex play in Week 3 against the Saints. McKinley is up in the air for this weekend, which would hurt […]

Matt Bush, Austin Bibens-Dirkx Undergo Surgery

Texas Rangers relief pitchers Matt Bush (elbow) and Austin Bibens-Dirkx (knee) both underwent surgery on Wednesday. Bush had surgery to fix the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, but it wasn't Tommy John surgery. That means he'll be ready for the second half of next year. Bibens-Dirkx should be ready for spring training. Bush […]

Roberto Osuna's Hearing Moved to Sept. 25

Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna's court hearing has been moved to Sept. 25 in Toronto. The club has a game in Toronto that night. Osuna shouldn't have to miss the game. He's become the unquestioned closer in Houston and has a 2.41 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, nine saves and an 8.2 K/9 over 19 outings with […]

Bobby Wagner Says He'll Be Ready In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner (groin) said he will be ready to start in Week 3 against the Cowboys after missing Week 2. Wagner's return will make Seattle much more stout in the middle of the field. It's bad news for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on the road in a hostile environment.

Case Keenum Being Held Out As Precaution

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) will be held out of practice on Wednesday as a precaution due to knee soreness from Week 2, according to a league source. Keenum is expected to return to practice on Thursday and play in Week 3 against the Ravens. The veteran signal-caller led a nice fourth-quarterback comeback over […]

Seth DeValve Ruled Out For Week 3

Cleveland Browns tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Jets on Thursday. DeValve hasn't played yet this year and is buried on the depth chart, so you can ignore him in fantasy. David Njoku is the tight end to own in Cleveland as a low-end TE1.

Jarvis Landry Questionable For Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) is listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Jets on Thursday night. Landry got in limited practices on the short week, so we'd expect him to be fine to play, but make sure you check the inactives just to be sure. The […]

Patriots Release Kenjon Barner

The New England Patriots released running back Kenjon Barner on Wednesday in order to make room on the roster for cornerback Cyrus Jones off the Ravens practice squad. There's nothing to see here for fantasy purposes.

Billy Price To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals rookie center Billy Price (foot) is dealing with a foot injury that isn't a Lisfranc injury. However, he's in a walking boot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Price hadn't been very effective in his first two career games, so this might not wind up hurting Cincinnati too much. Expect Trey Hopkins […]

Bengals Waive Tra Carson, Sign Thomas Rawls

The Cincinnati Bengals waived/injured running back Tra Carson (hamstring) on Wednesday and signed free-agent running back Thomas Rawls in a corresponding move. With Joe Mixon (knee) set to miss multiple weeks, Giovani Bernard will be the main back with rookie Mark Walton and Rawls backing him up. Rawls had just 58 carries for 157 yards […]

Kevin King Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said cornerback Kevin King (groin) will be "hard-pressed to play this week" against the Redskins. The team is hoping King can be back soon if he misses Week 3. King is a starting cornerback for Green Bay, so his absence would be good news for Washington quarterback Alex […]

Aaron Jones Third In Pecking Order

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that running backs Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery are ahead of Aaron Jones, who is returning from his two-game suspension in Week 3. "Jamaal and Ty have played good football. I know what Aaron gives us, but his role will be secondary. Jamaal and Ty will be […]

Kelvin Benjamin Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (hip) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Benjamin should be fine to play in a very tough matchup against Minnesota in Week 3. He's the only fantasy relevant receiver in Buffalo, but he has just three catches on 10 targets for 29 yards and a […]

Eric Berry Won't Practice

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said safety Eric Berry (heel) will not practice on Wednesday. It's not a good start to the week for Berry as the team gets set to face the 49ers at home. KC's secondary is beat up and bad, so they need Berry to return as soon as possible. […]

LeSean McCoy To Be Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (rib) will be limited in practice on Wednesday as he fights through a fractured rib cartilage that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the Chargers. He was spotted wearing a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday. Not only might McCoy miss this weekend against the Vikings, but the […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are day-to-day, but also said that Sproles' recovery is "a little longer." With Josh Adams being promoted from the practice squad on Tuesday, it looks like Sproles will be doubtful for Week 3 against the Colts. Ajayi could be […]

Mike Wallace Placed On IR

The Philadelphia Eagles placed wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a fractured fibula. In a corresponding move, the Eagles signed receiver Jordan Matthews. Matthews has dealt with a hamstring injury and was cut by the Patriots, but he has 117 targets (led the team) from quarterback Carson Wentz in 2016. […]

Takkarist McKinley Day-To-Day

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) is listed as day-to-day and his status is up in the air for Week 3 against the Saints, but the team is taking a wait-and-see approach with him. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added that McKinley's injury isn't considered a long-term ailment. McKinley is a solid young pass rusher, […]

T.J. Yeldon, Austin Seferian-Jenkins Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) are not expected to practice on Wednesday. Yeldon had 10 carries for 58 yards on the ground in the Week 2 win over the Patriots, but he won't be a flex option again if Leonard Fournette (hamstring) returns to the backfield. ASF […]
