Darius Slay Suffers Concussion In Week 2

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the 49ers and did not return to the contest. Detroit's lackluster defense would be way worse without their All-Pro cornerback on the field. You can stay far away from the Lions defense/special teams in fantasy leagues.

Trey Flowers, Patrick Chung Suffer Concussions Sunday

New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) and safety Patrick Chung (concussion) both left the game in Week 2 with concussions and didn't return. Chung was replaced by Duron Harmon. Flowers is a top IDP defensive end and could be in danger of missing a game or two. The same goes for Chung. If […]

Dan Bailey Waiting For Right Team

Free-agent place kicker Dan Bailey said he is waiting for the "right team" to sign, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source also said he has turned down four "very good offers." Vikings rookie Daniel Carlson missed three field goals in a tie in Week 2 against the Packers and could […]

Greg Zuerlein Doesn't Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams place kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) was injured before the Week 2 game against the Cardinals and did not play. The Rams used running back Todd Gurley on two two-point conversions in the first half. Punter Johnny Hekker handled kickoffs and had a 20-yard field goal in the second quarter. It remains unclear […]

Cowboys Not Interested In Josh Gordon

The Dallas Cowboys are not interested in signing Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon if he is released on Monday, according to a source. Instead, the Cowboys plan on signing free-agent Brice Butler on Monday. It's saying something with Cole Beasley being the most targeted receiver in Week 1. Gordon has heaps of potential, but […]

Jets Interested In Josh Gordon

The New York Jets are interested in Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, but they are just doing their due diligence. A trade of Brown to the Jets still appears unlikely. If a team doesn't trade for Gordon by Monday, the Browns are expected to release him. Gordon is a high-end wide receiver talent, but […]

Larry Fitzgerald's Injury Is Minor

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald's (hamstring) injury is "minor." The team will re-evaluate him on Monday. Fitz had only three catches for 28 yards in the 34-0 drubbing at the hands of the Rams. The veteran wideout should be fine for next week, but with Arizona's offense looking […]

Dalvin Cook Dealt With Cramp In Overtime

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) said his hamstring issue late in the Week 2 game against the Packers was just a cramp. He should be fine for Week 3 against the Bills in an excellent matchup. Cook had 10 rushes for 38 yards and also caught three passes for 52 yards in the […]

Jose Urena Leaves Start With Hand Injury

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena (hand) left his start early on Sunday with a right hand cramp. The Marlins pulled Urena for precautionary reasons, so this doesn't look like an injury that would keep Urena from making his next start. The right-hander has been much better of late and allowed three hits and one […]

Seung Hwan Oh Close To Returning

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh (hamstring) is close to returning to the team. Oh has a 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 9.7 K/9 in 17 2/3 innings for the Rockies this year, but he isn't much of a fantasy factor with no chance for saves in Colorado. He can continue being ignored in […]

Chance Sisco Leaves Early Sunday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (head) left the game early on Sunday after taking a foul tip to his mask. He is being evaluated for a concussion. Sisco had gone 0-for-2 and was making just his third start since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 3. Austin Wynns took over behind the plate. […]

Tyler Skaggs Lined Up To Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (groin) is scheduled to start on Wednesday against the A's. Skaggs has a 3.78 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 123 K's in 116 2/3 innings over 21 starts this year, so he's certainly attractive to fantasy owners when he's on the mound. However, he could be limited a bit […]

Mookie Betts Injured Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) left the game early on Sunday with left side soreness. Betts was on the disabled list from May 29 to June 11 with an abdominal strain on his left side, so this is very concerning for one of the best overall players in baseball. He was hitless in […]

Calais Campbell Will Play Against New England

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Patriots. Campbell was listed as questionable on Sunday morning but will be able to suit up in a big matchup against New England. Campbell is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and will create headaches for Pats quarterback […]

Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel Active For Patriots

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) are both active in Week 2 against the Jaguars. Both running backs were expected to play. It makes this backfield even more complicated alongside James White, who could see a surprising amount of touches. Burkhead and White are RB3/flex options in PPR leagues, […]

Jay Ajayi Returns To Action

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (back) returned in the second half of the Week 2 game against the Buccaneers after suffering a back injury on his first carry of the game. This is good news for an Eagles squad that also lost receiver Mike Wallace to a potentially serious injury […]

Leonard Fournette Is Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 2 against the Patriots, according to a source. Make sure you pull him out of your lineups for Week 2 if you haven't already. In his absence, T.J. Yeldon should see the lion's share of the work in the backfield, with Corey Grant […]

Jordan Wilkins Questionable To Return

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins (ankle) suffered an injury in Week 2 against the Redskins and is questionable to return. Wilkins had five carries for 31 yards and also caught a pass for no gain before leaving. The rookie wasn't much of a fantasy option this week with Marlon Mack returning from an […]

Mark Barron Out For Rams

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) is inactive in Week 2 against the Cardinals. Quarterback Brandon Allen and running back John Kelly are healthy scratches for this one. Barron's absence is notable after Raiders tight end Jared Cook torched them in Week 1. That sets Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones up as a sleeper […]

Jermaine Gresham Won't Play In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) is inactive in Week 2 against the Rams. Quarterback Mike Glennon and wide receiver Trent Sherfield are also healthy scratches. Gresham is working his way back from injury and might not even be able to return in Week 3. Ricky Seals-Jones is the team's main pass-catching tight end […]

Calais Campbell Will Play

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Patriots. Campbell was listed as questionable on Sunday morning but will be able to suit up in a big matchup against New England. Campbell is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and will create headaches for Pats quarterback […]

LeGarrette Blount Active Against San Fran

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) is active for Week 2 against the 49ers. Running back Ameer Abdullah, wide receiver Brandon Powell and tight end Hakeem Valles are all healthy scratches. Blount did very little in a blowout loss to the Jets in Week 1 when the team was forced to abandon the ground […]

Nelson Cruz Not Playing Sunday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz (illness) is feeling under the weather and is not playing on Sunday. Daniel Vogelbach will step in as the DH and will hit sixth against Angels starter Jaime Barria. Cruz should be fine in a day or two. Make sure to remove him from your daily lineups. Vogelbach is […]

Luis Ortiz Unlikely To Return Soon

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that starting pitcher Luis Ortiz (hamstring) is unlikely to be available anytime soon. Ortiz will have an MRI exam on Monday or Tuesday. The right-hander was injured covering a base in his first ever major league start over the weekend. He doesn't need to be owned in any fantasy […]

Trevor Cahill To Throw Tuesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) played catch on Sunday after receiving a trigger-point injection last week. He has been feeling better, according to manager Bob Melvin. Cahill will throw off a mound on Tuesday and then the team will have a better idea of when he can start. A return during the series […]

Tommy La Stella Scratched Sunday

Chicago Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday after dealing with lower back pain after taking pre-game ground balls. David Bote replaced La Stella at the hot corner. La Stella has been an effective utility man for the Cubbies this year, hitting .270 with only one homer and […]

Jason Heyward Activated From DL

The Chicago Cubs activated outfielder Jason Heyward (hamstring) from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday. Heyward isn't in the lineup on Sunday and may play sparingly to end the season as the team looks to get him back to full health for a potential playoff run. Heyward has hit .275/.342/.399 with seven home runs and […]

Kyle Schwarber May Not Travel With Team

The Chicago Cubs and their doctors are checking outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) to see if he will be available to fly with the team on their road trip to Arizona. Schwarber is hitting just .239/.356/.471 on the season, but he does have 25 home runs and 58 RBI. The left-handed slugger hasn't played since Sept. […]

Avisail Garcia Still Bothered By Knee Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (knee) was out of the lineup on Sunday with more knee issues. His entire right leg was wrapped after receiving treatment. "He’s hanging on," manager Rick Renteria said. "He’s been a little sore but he’s working through it. You’ll see him at a time of need giving you everything […]

Kyle Tucker Called Up Sunday

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker was called up from Triple-A Fresno on Sunday. Tucker is a top prospect in baseball and hit .332/.400/.590 with 27 doubles and 24 home runs in 100 games with Fresno this year. He's the team's No. 2 prospect but probably won't see enough playing time to close out the […]
