Mychal Kendricks Fighting Suspension

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks, who is suspended indefinitely for insider trading, is fighting his suspension. Kendricks, the NFLPA and lawyers are fighting to prove that the league doesn't have the right to suspend him "indefinitely," according to league sources. Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges on Sept. 6. He's trying to have a specific […]

Earl Thomas To Have Surgery This Week

Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas (leg) will have surgery to have a rod inserted into his broken leg this week, according to a source. The rod will increase the chances of healing and lower the refracture rate. Thomas should be 100 percent before free agency kicks off. With Thomas and Seattle at odds over a […]

Everson Griffen Not Expected To Return Anytime Soon

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is not expected to return to the team "anytime soon," according to a league source. The Pro Bowl defensive end continues to tend to his mental health. Another source said Griffen "could be back next week or could never play again, you just don't know when it comes to […]

Landry Jones Likely To Land A Job Soon

Free-agent quarterback Landry Jones, who has been busy working out for teams such as the Bills, Cowboys, Lions and Jaguars, is likely to land a job soon, according to a source. Jones was the former backup to Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. He won't have any fantasy value unless the starter ahead of him is injured. […]

Derek Anderson Expected To Sign With Bills

Free-agent quarterback Derek Anderson, who spent seven years as a mentor and backup to Cam Newton in Carolina, is expected to sign with the Buffalo Bills, according to sources. He is expected to be a mentor to rookie Josh Allen. Anderson would likely be an upgrade over current backup Nathan Peterman, but Anderson won't have […]

Saints Release Mike Gillislee

The New Orleans Saints released running back Mike Gillislee on Saturday. Gillislee had 16 carries for 43 yards in four games for the Saints, but he was expendable with Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension. Gillislee could land with another team in a short-yardage/goal-line role, but he doesn't carry much fantasy value.

Packers Not Worried About Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy

Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy is downplaying a potential rift between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy. "We've seen this before," Murphy told NFL Network this week. "I think they've had a great relationship. It's just, two highly competitive people. The most important thing, they both want the same thing -- they […]

Leonard Fournette Could Miss Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who is out for Week 5, could also miss next week's game. Fournette's balky hamstring is now where it was a few weeks ago, so the Jags won't push their star running back. Injuries have plagued Fournette in his young career, and he's becoming an early-round bust for […]

Dalvin Cook A Long Shot To Play Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a long shot to play in Week 5 against the Eagles. Backup Latavius Murray will start and see an increased workload unless Cook makes a miraculous recovery before game time. Cook had just 10 carries for 20 yards and didn't touch the ball in the second half […]

Adrian Peterson, Paul Richardson Off The Injury Report

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (shoulder) have been taken off the final injury report for Monday night against the Saints. Peterson and Richardson both practiced in full on Saturday. Peterson was fully expected to play coming off the bye week, and he is a volume-based RB2 in a […]

Josh Doctson, Trent Williams Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee) are both questionable for Monday night against the Saints. Doctson didn't practice all week and was seen in a walking boot on Friday, making it seem doubtful that he'll suit up. He hasn't been a big part of the offense with quarterback […]

Keke Coutee Is A Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be a legitimate game-time decision on Sunday night against the Cowboys. If he plays, he'll be playing through pain. Coutee was a popular waiver addition this week after he blew up in Week 4 when Will Fuller was injured. However, Fuller is expected to play and […]

Will Fuller Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring), who is questionable for Sunday night, is expected to play against the Cowboys. Fuller constantly is battling injuries, but it looks like he'll play through his latest ailment. He has scored in all three games this year and has become a trusted weapon for quarterback Deshaun Watson when […]

Texans Pessimistic About Lamar Miller Playing Sunday Night

The Houston Texans are pessimistic that running back Lamar Miller (chest) will be able to play on Sunday night against the Cowboys, according to a source. Miller is listed as questionable and did very little in practice this week. If he is inactive, Alfred Blue would start and see most of the touches in the […]

Joe Mixon Might Not Be Every-Down Player Against Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee), who is returning from a two-week absence, isn't expected to be an every-down player in Week 5 against the Dolphins. With Giovani Bernard (knee) out, expect rookie Mark Walton to get more carries to keep Mixon fresh. The Bengals will play it cautiously with Mixon, so he profiles […]

DeVante Parker, Andre Branch Inactive In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are both inactive for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker made his season debut two weeks ago against the Raiders but has been out each of the last two weeks now. Even if he returns in Week 6, he'll be more of […]

Greg Olsen Could Return In Week 6

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is inactive in Week 5 against the Giants, but there is confidence that he'll play against the Redskins in Week 6 if he has a good week of practice, according to a source. Olsen re-fractured his foot in the season opener, but he's made quick progress and could […]

Damarious Randall Active For Browns

Cleveland Browns cornerback Damarious Randall (heel) is active for Week 5 against the Ravens. Randall has been a turnover machine for the Browns so far this year, and he'll help try to slow down Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who has been playing like a man on a mission through four weeks so far in 2018.

Hayden Hurst Making NFL Debut In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) will be active for the first time this season in Week 5 against the Browns. While Hurst has the most pass-catching upside of Baltimore's tight end committee that also includes Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams and rookie Mark Andrews, expect the Ravens to ease Hurst into the rotation. […]

Marvin Jones, Quandre Diggs Active Against Green Bay

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle) and defensive back Quandre Diggs (hand) are both active in Week 5 against the Packers. Jones picked up an injury in practice late in the week, so his status was in question. He'll be fine and has a nice matchup against a banged-up secondary that is missing cornerback […]

Jaire Alexander Won't Play Sunday

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) is inactive for Week 5 against the Lions. As one of Green Bay's better corners this year, this will put a strain on their secondary as they try to slow down Detroit's passing attack. It's good news for Lions receivers Golden Tate, Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay.

Davante Adams Active Against Lions

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (calf) is active for Week 5 against the Lions. Adams was always expected to play despite missing a few practices earlier this week. He is likely to be covered by Lions cornerback Darius Slay at less than 100 percent, but Adams remains quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite target and […]

Eric Berry Out For Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Jaguars. Berry has yet to practice in the regular season and doesn't look close to making his season debut. The veteran's presence would go a long way in helping the KC secondary stop the bleeding in what has […]

Sammy Watkins, Dee Ford Playing Versus Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and linebacker Dee Ford (groin) are both active in Week 5 against the Jaguars. Watkins had no catches on just one target last Monday night before leaving the game, but he's good to go for this one. In a tough matchup against an elite secondary, Watkins is […]

Darrius Heyward-Bey Inactive For Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) is inactive in Week 5 against the Falcons after missing practice all week. Heyward-Bey has yet to record a catch this season, so he hasn't been anywhere near the fantasy radar. His absence will mostly be felt on special teams on Sunday.

Charles Clay Active Against Titans

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) is active for Week 5 against the Titans after being listed as questionable. There wasn't much concern over his status after he practiced in full on Friday. In a tough matchup in a poor offense, Clay isn't on the fantasy radar for a starting spot. He has only […]

49ers Activate Victor Bolden

The San Francisco 49ers activated wide receiver Victor Bolden from the suspended list to the active roster and promoted defensive lineman Ryan Delaire from the practice squad while waiving safety Tyvis Powell and offensive guard Najee Toran in corresponding moves on Saturday. While this might not be good news for Marquise Goodwin, who is questionable […]

Ender Inciarte To Bat Second In Game 3

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said outfielder Ender Inciarte will bat second in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler on Sunday. Third baseman Johan Camargo, who has hit second in the first two games of the series, is hitless in eight at-bats against two lefty starters. With a […]

Braves Leaning Toward Sean Newcomb In Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is listed as the Game 3 starter for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Sunday, but the team is now leaning toward using Sean Newcomb in that game. It could be because the Dodgers are much more beatable when they have to face lefties on the […]

Jeremy Maclin Getting Healthy

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is close to being healthy and should have some workouts/visits with receiver-needy teams soon, according to a source. The Eagles came close to signing him before they settled on Jordan Matthews. The veteran wideout should be able to find a team once he proves he's fully healthy, but […]
