DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Will Fuller (hamstring), Sammie Coates (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back, elbow) were all limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Titans. Hopkins and Fuller are both fully expected to play this weekend. Hopkins is a […]

Andrew Cashner Receives Cortisone Injection

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner (knee) received a cortisone injection in his left knee on Thursday, but he'll try to throw on Saturday. He's dealing with patella bursitis and has affected him for the last two to three weeks. Cashner believes the injury could be a reason for his lack of fastball command of […]

David Johnson Practices In Full

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) practiced in full on Friday and labeled himself "100 percent" after being limited earlier in the week. All signs are pointing toward him being active against the Rams in Week 2. As long as Johnson is on the field on game days, he'll be a must-start for fantasy […]

Ezekiel Ansah Optimistic He'll Play

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Elliott (shoulder) said he's optimistic he will play in Week 2 against the 49ers. Ansah was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so it looks like there's a good chance he'll play this weekend. He's the team's best chance for a consistent pass rush this year, but he's often […]

Jermaine Kearse Will Play In Week 2

New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (thumb), Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) and Terrelle Pryor (ankle) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the final injury report for Week 2 against the Dolphins. It'll be Kearse's season debut, but he'll return to a crowded receiver picture where Robby Anderson and Enunwa will […]

Andre Smith Won't Play In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals right tackle Andre Smith (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Rams. This is bad news for the Cardinals offense all around against a strong pass rush of the LA Rams. While running back David Johnson remains a top-five play at his position, the Cardinals could have to abandon the […]

Marquise Goodwin Not Practicing Friday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) is not practicing on Friday, which is not a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Lions, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Goodwin hasn't practiced all week at this point, making it seem likely that he'll sit out. If that […]

Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Will Play

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (illness) and Ted Ginn (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and will play in Week 2 against the Browns. Thomas' status was never in doubt, but Ginn worried his owners by missing practice on Wednesday. They'll be the top two options for quarterback Drew Brees against Cleveland. […]

Brent Grimes, Vita Vea Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) and rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf) didn't practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Eagles. With both Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves out, life will be much easier for Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and his receivers. Wideout Nelson Agholor is pretty much […]

DeSean Jackson, Jason Pierre-Paul Questionable

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (shoulder, concussion) and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Eagles. Jackson got in a full practice on Friday, which bodes well for his availability against his old team. JPP was limited again Friday. D-Jax went over 100 yards in […]

Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin Both Out

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) and right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's never good news when both your left and right tackles are out, especially when they are as good as both Lewan and Conklin. It's […]

Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbert Could Both Play

Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Marcus Mariota (elbow) and Blaine Gabbert are both expected to see playing time in Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's a curious strategy with Mariota fighting an elbow injury, but it doesn't seem like a winning one. Mariota was a bottom-of-the-barrel QB2 in two-QB leagues to […]

Roenis Elias To Start Friday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Roenis Elias will get the start on Friday against the Angels in place of ace James Paxton (illness), who is battling pneumonia. Elias, a fellow lefty, has a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and weak 5.8 K/9 in 18 outings (two starts) this year for Seattle. He didn't go past 3 2/3 innings […]

Jose Iglesias Moved To 60-Day DL

The Detroit Tigers moved shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day DL on Friday, meaning he will miss the rest of the season. Infielder Pete Kozma was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. Iglesias finishes with a .269/.310/.389 line with five home runs, 48 RBI, 43 runs […]

Gregory Polanco Could Miss Start Of 2019 Season

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (shoulder, knee) had surgery on his labrum in addition to the stabilization of his dislocated left shoulder. The typical recovery time for this type of surgery is around seven to ninth months, which could affect Polanco's readiness for the start of the regular season. There's a good chance it does, […]

Hector Velazquez Scratched From Start

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hector Velazquez (illness) has been scratched from his start on Friday due to illness. William Cuevas will instead make the start against the Mets in what is likely to be a bullpen game now. Cuevas has made just four appearances in the big leagues this year (7 1/3 innings) and all […]

Trai Turner, Curtis Samuel Ruled Out

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Falcons. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd (knee) was also ruled out. With Turner out, the Panthers are also missing left tackle Matt Kalil and right tackle Daryl Williams. […]

C.J. Anderson, Luke Kuechly Off Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson (illness) and linebacker Luke Kuechly (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Falcons. Both players were never in any danger of missing action this weekend. Anderson is the clear No. 2 to Christian McCaffrey and is a […]

Anthony Castonzo Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) had a setback in practice on Thursday, didn't practice again on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Redskins. Castonzo is getting closer to a return, but it'll have to wait until Week 3. It's bad news for an already weak offensive line, and […]

Marlon Mack Questionable For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 2 against the Redskins. Everything points to Mack making his season debut this weekend, but he could still be a game-time decision. It's unclear how Indy's backfield will shake out if he returns, but Mack should see decent […]

Eric Berry Doubtful To Play

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) didn't practice on Friday and will be listed as doubtful for Week 2 against the Steelers. Berry wasn't expected to suit up after not practicing all week, and there remains no timetable for his return. KC's defense was shredded by Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in Week 1, and […]

Olivier Vernon Ruled Out

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Cowboys. Vernon is dealing with a high ankle sprain, so he was never expected to play this weekend. He should have a better chance to return next week, but it's no guarantee. New […]

Sterling Shepard, Wayne Gallman Off Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) and running back Wayne Gallman (knee) were taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Cowboys. Shepard is a WR4/flex play in a much better matchup against a beat up Dallas secondary. Gallman will split backup repetitions with Jonathan Stewart behind rookie Saquon Barkley. […]

Cameron Meredith Still Getting Up To Speed

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith has been a full practice participant, but head coach Sean Payton said the receiver is still getting up to speed in learning the offense. Meredith was a healthy scratch in Week 1 after missing most of training camp and the preseason while rehabbing from a knee injury that […]

Hunter Henry Running Sprints

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is running diagonal sprints while wearing a knee brace on Friday just four months removed from surgery on his right ACL. Henry must still sit out the first eight weeks of the season, and even then he's not guaranteed to return right after that. It's a good […]

Travis Benjamin Unlikely To Play

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) did not practice on Friday and is unlikely to play in Week 2 against the Bills. Benjamin missed the entire week of practice and is doubtful to play at this point. He dropped several passes that would have been big plays in Week 1 and remains an […]

Calvin Ridley Expected To Be More Involved

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said he expects rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley to be more involved in the offense moving forward after he had zero catches in the season-opening loss to the Eagles. Despite Quinn's words, fantasy owners shouldn't buy it until they see it. Ridley isn't a realistic starting option this week […]

Paul Richardson, Maurice Harris Are Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receivers Paul Richardson (shoulder) and Maurice Harris (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Colts. Richardson didn't practice on Friday, which is not a good sign. Richardson did have seven targets in the season opener, but he caught just four of those for only 22 yards. Even if […]

DeVante Parker Listed As Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is officially listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Jets despite being a full practice participant over the last two days. Miami is being cautious with their top wideout after he missed most of training camp and Week 1 with his injury. The expectation is that he'll […]

Ben Roethlisberger Expected To Play

Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and wide receiver Antonio Brown both said they expect quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) to play in Week 2 against the Chiefs. Roethlisberger was also able to practice on Friday after sitting out the two previous days. Big Ben's injury was never believed to be serious, but the fact that he […]
