DeVante Parker, Reshad Jones Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps), safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker and Branch were limited in practice, while Jones practiced in full. Parker and Branch legitimately could miss Sunday's game, while Jones should be able to return and […]

Cameron Wake Doubtful For Week 5

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Bengals after missing practice all week. With Andre Branch questionable, Miami's defensive line could be in bad shape this Sunday against Cincinnati. That'd be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton. Wake has 12 tackles and one sack through four […]

Trai Turner Will Return In Week 5

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) has been taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Giants after missing the last two games with a concussion. Turner's return is great news for Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and the running game this Sunday.

Jimmy Smith Expected To Play Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh expects cornerback Jimmy Smith to play in Week 5 against the Browns after returning this week from a four-game suspension. Harbaugh has been impressed with the veteran's physical conditioning. An already strong defense will benefit from the return of their grizzled veteran in the secondary. Baltimore remains a strong […]

Frank Clark Dealing With Food Poisoning

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that defensive end Frank Clark, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, has been dealing with food poisoning. "He’s been sick a little bit this week," Carroll told KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, "and we’re trying to get him back and get him ready to play, which we think he […]

Chris Carson Will Return In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed on Friday that running back Chris Carson (hip) will return in Week 5 against the Rams after being a surprise inactive in Week 4. However, Mike Davis ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in Carson's absence last Sunday, so it's anyone's guess how much work Carson […]

Kolten Wong Doesn't Need Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) will not need surgery after his left knee was examined after the season. A scan of the joint showed that the cartilage that shook loose earlier this year would not need to be fixed. In his five full years with the Red Birds, Wong has started more […]

Paul DeJong Has Surgery On His Hand

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (hand) had surgery on his hand this week after he fractured his hand in late May. The surgery was done to remove the plate from his hand, which will put him in a cast for another few weeks. DeJong said he'll be fine to resume offseason workouts in a […]

Joe Kelly, Brandon Workman Make ALDS Roster

Boston Red Sox relief pitchers Joe Kelly and Brandon Workman made the roster for the American League Division Series against the Yankees. Heath Hembree and Bobby Poyner were left off the roster with the Red Sox carrying three catchers. Kelly and Workman will fill middle relief roles for the Red Sox against their arch-rivals in […]

Gerardo Parra Starting Over David Dahl

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra will get the start over David Dahl in left field and will hit sixth against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday. Parra hit for a decent average (.284) and on-base percentage (.342) on the year, but he doesn't have much power […]

Hernan Perez Starting At Shortstop In Game 2

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Hernan Perez gets the nod at shortstop over Orlando Arcia and will hit sixth against Rockies starter Tyler Anderson in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday. Perez brings more offense than Arcia does, and he hit much better against lefties this year than righties with a .277 average […]

Wade Miley To Start Game 3 Of NLDS

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Rockies in Colorado if he's not needed in relief in Game 2 on Friday. Miley was extremely effective in 16 starts this year for the Brew Crew, going 5-2 with a 2.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 5.6 […]

No Concern Over Alex Collins' Status

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (knee) was a "full go" in practice on Friday, and head coach John Harbaugh said there is no concern about Collins playing in Week 5 against the Browns. Collins had missed practice on Thursday. What is of concern are Collins' fumbling issues and the fact that Javorius Allen continues […]

Giovani Bernard Out 2-4 Weeks With Knee Sprain

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) will miss two to four weeks with an MCL sprain, according to a source. Bernard was effective with Joe Mixon (knee) out two weeks with a knee sprain of his own, with three touchdowns and 4.8 yards per carry the last two weeks. Mixon immediately jumps back to […]

Trumaine Johnson Ruled Out

New York Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) did not practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Denver Broncos. It's a blow to the Jets defense this weekend, but thankfully they'll be facing the inept Case Keenum, who hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 1. Johnson's absence is a […]

Quincy Enunwa Will Play Against Broncos

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hip), who was a late addition to the injury report this week, has been taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Broncos. He will play, but he's more of a WR3/flex option in a stagnant offense while going up against strong slot cornerback Chris […]

Evan Engram, Olivier Vernon Ruled Out

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) and defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 5 against the Panthers. Engram isn't expected to return for another week or two, so his absence won't be a surprise. Rhett Ellison should continue to be the team's main tight end, but he […]

Sterling Shepard, Eli Apple Will Play

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back), cornerback Eli Apple (groin), defensive tackle Damon Harrison (knee) and wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee) are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Panthers and will play on Sunday. With quarterback Eli Manning checking down often, Shepard has become somewhat of a safety […]

Josh Doctson In Walking Boot

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) was seen in a walking boot at practice on Friday, according to a source. Doctson was injured in practice this week and looks unlikely to play on Monday night in a good matchup against the Saints leaky secondary. It's possible Doctson could miss multiple games, too, depending on […]

Adrian Peterson Moving Well In Practice

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) was moving around well in practice on Friday and looks good to go for Monday night against the Saints. Peterson has looked spry so far through three games and is coming back fresh off the team's bye week. In what could be a high-scoring game, Peterson has volume-based […]

Dalvin Cook Likely To Be Questionable

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) missed practice again on Friday, but head coach Mike Zimmer said on Thursday that Cook would probably be listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook looks more doubtful than questionable after not practicing all week. You should have no plans to use him this weekend. […]

C.J. Uzomah Could Be Main Tight End

ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell thinks that Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah has moved ahead of Tyler Kroft as the team's main pass-catching tight end with Tyler Eifert (ankle) likely done for the season. Uzomah has just seven catches on eight targets for 74 yards and a touchdown through four games, but expect his usage to […]

Giovani Bernard, John Ross Out Against Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and wide receiver John Ross (groin) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Dolphins. The good news for Cincy is that Joe Mixon (knee) is back from his knee injury, and he will immediately enter the RB1 conversation as the workhorse back against Miami. Ross has […]

Damarious Randall, Christian Kirksey Should Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns cornerback Damarious Randall (heel) and linebacker Christian Kirksey (flu) will be questionable for Week 5 against the Ravens, but both players should be fine, according to head coach Hue Jackson. It's good news for a Browns defense that is looking to slow down a determined Joe Flacco in Week 5. Randall has been […]

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway Off Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and Antonio Callaway (knee) have both been taken off the Week 5 injury report and will play against the Ravens. It's a tough matchup, but Landry is the team's unquestioned top wideout and is a must-play in fantasy, especially PPR leagues. Callaway has intriguing upside but hasn't been […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Frustrated With Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has yet to score a touchdown through four games, is frustrated with the direction of the offense so far. "How come we can’t throw the ball for more than 20 yards? How come we don’t attempt or try to throw the ball for more than 20 […]

Steelers Want To Get James Conner More Involved

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has underwhelmed since his big season opener, and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner thinks it's his fault. “I probably just need to do a better job heating him up,” Fichtner said, referring to giving Conner more carries. “It’s just like quarterbacks, too. You get into a rhythm. And all good […]

Dolphins Not Looking To Get Kenyan Drake Involved More

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said the team will continue "splitting" snaps between running backs Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore. In the blowout loss to the Patriots in Week 4, Drake carried the ball just three times for three yards while Gore had 11 attempts. For the season, Gore has 35 carries to Drake's […]

D'Onta Foreman On Track To Return In A Couple Of Weeks

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) is doing well in his rehab and is "on track" to return in a couple of weeks. With Lamar Miller not standing out through four weeks and now injured, Foreman has a chance to return and make his case for lead-back duties […]

Lamar Miller To Be Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said running back Lamar Miller (chest) will be a game-time decision for Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night. With Houston playing on Sunday night, that basically makes Miller one to avoid this weekend unless you also have Alfred Blue handcuffed. Miller has been on the RB2/3 borderline […]
