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 […]

Leonard Fournette To Return To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to practice on Wednesday after sitting out in the Week 2 win over the Patriots. It's good news that he'll be able to return in Week 3 to face the Titans in a good matchup. Fournette will once again be in the RB1 conversation in Week […]

Josh Gordon Trade Not Completed Yet

The New England Patriots are trying to finalize the acquisition of wide receiver Josh Gordon from the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday. The holdup is related to the Pats receiving an extra draft pick as part of the deal, according to a source informed of the situation. The Patriots are finalizing the acquisition of a seventh-round […]

Matthew Festa To Start Wednesday

Seattle Mariners reliever Matthew Festa will make the start against the Astros on Wednesday as the opener for a bullpen game. While Festa does have a nice 1.69 ERA, he's thrown just 5 1/3 innings over four outings in the big league this year and can be avoided in all fantasy leagues, as he will […]

Austin Meadows Coming Up Thursday

The Tampa Bay Rays will call up outfield prospect Austin Meadows and pitchers Hoby Milner, Austin Pruitt and Chih-Wei Hu from Triple-A Durham on Thursday. Meadows was a key piece in the trade that sent starter Chris Archer to the Pirates this summer. The outfielder hit an impressive .344/.396/.771 with 10 homers and 22 RBI […]

Eddie Rosario, Mitch Garver Likely Done For The Year

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) and catcher Mitch Garver (concussion) will head back to Minnesota and are both likely done for the year. Rosario will undergo an MRI exam on his right quadriceps. They can both be dropped in single-year formats. Rosario was one of the few bright spots for the Twins this year, […]

Aroldis Chapman Activated From DL

The New York Yankees activated closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday. Get The flame-throwing lefty back into all starting lineups, as he could immediately be returned to his ninth-inning duties over David Robertson and Dellin Betances. Chapman is 3-0 on the year with a 2.11 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 31 saves […]

Gabriel Moya To Serve As Opener Wednesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Gabriel Moya will serve as the opener again on Wednesday against the Tigers, with Stephen Gonsalves being the primary pitcher to follow him. The left-handed Moya is beginning to find a niche as an opener, but he has just a 4.73 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings […]

X-Rays Negative On Travis Shaw

Updating a previous report, X-rays turned up negative on Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) after he was hit by a pitch and left the game early on Tuesday. Shaw is likely just dealing with a knee contusion and could return very soon. There's a chance he might not even need to miss a game. […]

Lorenzo Cain Dealing With Intercostal Issue

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (intercostal) has been dealing with an intercostal issue and was removed from the game early on Tuesday, according to manager Craig Counsell. Cain tweaked his side on a swing the other day. He was hitless in two plate appearances with a strikeout before leaving on Tuesday. The Brewers are likely […]

Mookie Betts Likely To DH Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder and MVP candidate Mookie Betts (side) was unavailable on Tuesday but is likely to serve as the designated hitter on Wednesday. It's great news for fantasy owners, as they'll get their first-round pick back with a likely championship ring on the line to close out the season. Betts is hitting an […]

Jimmy Yacabonis To Start Wednesday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jimmy Yacabonis will start on Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Jacabonis has an ugly 7.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over nine outings (four starts) in the big leagues this year. You aren't competing for a fantasy championship if you're even considering using him on Wednesday. Stay away.

Jeimer Candelario Leaves Game Early

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (spine) left the game early on Tuesday with a lumbar spine spasm. Candelario had a walk and a strikeout in his four plate appearances on Tuesday before departing the contest. At this point in the season, an injury like that could keep him from playing another game. It'll depend […]

Travis Shaw Injured Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) left the game early on Tuesday with a bruised right knee after he was hit by a pitch. Shaw scored a run in his lone plate appearance before leaving the game. It's unknown how serious this injury is, but hopefully for Shaw owners he won't need to miss much […]

Jameis Winston Being Sued By Uber Driver

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, currently serving a three-game suspension, is being sued by the Arizona Uber driver who accused him of sexual assault by groping her in March of 2016. Kate P. is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. Winston hasn't been criminally charged in the incident and is unlikely to face further […]

Trevor Story's Ligament Is Intact

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that doctors gave shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) good news on Tuesday. Story is dealing with inflammation in his right elbow, and the ligament is intact. However, the team is still waiting for a thorough diagnosis, and it's unclear if Story will be able to return this year. The fact […]

Homer Bailey Likely Done For Season

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey appears to be done for the 2018 season. The open spot in the rotation for Sunday against the Marlins will either go to Michael Lorenzen or someone else in the bullpen, according to manager Jim Riggleman. "As far as starting, yeah," Riggleman said. "Homer has indicated that he can't relieve. […]

Nick Senzel To Play Outfield In Instructional League

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel (finger), the team's top prospect, played second base at Triple-A Louisville this year, shortstop in big league spring training and is in Arizona this week to learn the outfield during the instructional league. The 23-year-old will play in games starting on Oct. 1, and the Reds envision him playing a […]

Trevor Cahill Throws Tuesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) threw from 120 feet on Tuesday and is still trying to work his way back into the rotation. The team will see how he feels on Wednesday, and there remains no guarantee that he'll return this year. Cahill has about a week and a half left, so he'd […]
