Corey Grant To Be Used More?

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks the team should have gotten running back Corey Grant more involved in the Week 1 win over the Giants. “I think if we knew that early in the week [we'd be without Fournette], during the course of the game I think that’s a little bit different scenario for […]

Leonard Fournette Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Thursday.

Odrisamer Despaigne Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne will start on Thursday against the Mariners. Despaigne isn't worth your time in fantasy as a streamer.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Matt Davidson (calf) is nursing a sore left calf but should be able to return to the starting lineup on Friday after the off day on Thursday, according to manager Rick Renteria.

Leonard Fournette Expected To Play In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 2 against the Patriots. The only way he would miss this game is if he has a setback this week.

Austin Hays May Need Surgery

It's been recommended that Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle), the team's No. 4 prospect, undergo surgery to fix a stress fracture in his ankle after seeing a specialist on Wednesday.

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) and wide receivers Brandon LaFell (back) and Dwayne Harris (foot) were all limited in practice on Wednesday.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) may need to be skipped from his next start on Saturday against the Rays due to a back problem.

Mike Wallace To Be More Involved?

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles said that the team needs to get wide receiver Mike Wallace more involved moving forward.

He has a great chance to bounce back […]

Tyrell Williams Practices In Full

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams (groin) practiced in full on Wednesday. Williams will be fine to play in Week 2 against the Bills in a fluffy matchup. The Bills let Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco throw all over them in the season opener, so Williams will be a strong fantasy play. He caught just […]

Travis Benjamin, Joey Bosa Not Practicing

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) and defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Benjamin may be in danger of missing Week 2 against the Bills unless he returns to practice later this week. He had only one catch on five targets for one yard in the season opener. Benjamin […]

Jon Gruden Thinks Martavis Bryant Can Be Difference-Maker

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said he thinks wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who the team re-signed on Tuesday, can be a difference-maker for the team.

Rams Place Pharoh Cooper On IR

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver and kick returner Pharoh Cooper (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Cooper will be eligible to return after eight weeks.
