Doug Baldwin Has MCL Sprain

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain after leaving the game in Week 1 against the Broncos. Baldwin didn't even record a catch in the season opener and was a bust for his fantasy owners. The silver lining here is the injury was to […]

Greg Olsen On Crutches

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was on crutches and in a boot on his right foot after being ruled out in Week 1 against the Cowboys. It's the same foot that he had surgery on in 2017. It's a terrible sign and likely means that Olsen is facing an […]

Brandon Morrow Throws Light Bullpen

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) threw a light bullpen session on Sunday as he attempts to return before the end of the season. Morrow is now a long shot to make it back before the playoffs, and he hasn't pitched since before the All-Star break with the Cubs. In his absence, Pedro Strop has […]

Ryder Jones Out For The Season

San Francisco Giants infielder Ryder Jones (knee) will miss the rest of the season after dislocating his knee on Sunday. “It’s a shame. The kid’s getting a chance to play up here and fix his swing, and that happens," manager Bruce Bochy said. Jones' 2015 season ended prematurely with a dislocated knee as well. Jones […]

Greg Olsen Injured, Won't Return

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was injured in Week 1 against the Cowboys and will not return. At least the veteran tight end caught two passes for 33 yards before returning. He was questionable for this game with a minor back injury, but he suffered another foot injury in the season opener. This […]

Wayne Gallman Expects To Play Next Week

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (knee), who injured his knee in Week 1 against the Jaguars, said he will be ready to go in Week 2. Gallman had been working as rookie Saquon Barkley's backup before exiting. He had one carry for negative-one yard and two catches for nine yards before returning. Gallman […]

Leonard Fournette Thinks He'll Play Next Week

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) said he thinks he'll play in Week 2 against the Patriots. Fournette was a bust for fantasy owners in Week 1 because of yet another soft-tissue injury. He ran nine times for 41 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards before leaving. T.J. Yeldon needs to be […]

DeSean Jackson Leaves With Concussion

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (head) left the game early in Week 1 against the Saints with a concussion, and he has been ruled out. The game was well out of hand when D-Jax went down, so perhaps they removed him as a precaution. Head injuries are no joke, though, so Jackson might […]

Mike Evans Returns From Injury

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans returned from an undisclosed injury in Week 1 against the Saints. Evans left briefly in the second half but later returned to score a long touchdown. He has blown up in the season opener for seven catches, 147 yards and a touchdown. For those […]

Earl Thomas Active Against Broncos

Seattle Seahawks strong safety Earl Thomas is active in Week 1 against the Broncos. Thomas was expected to play in the season opener despite reporting last week after a contract holdout. His presence is good news for Seattle's secondary, but the Legion of Boom is no more and the Seahawks defense/special teams is now more […]

Greg Olsen Playing Against Cowboys

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is active in Week 1 against the Cowboys. Olsen dealt with some minor back issues this week and was listed as questionable, but he will play. While his snaps might be limited a bit in the season opener, Olsen should still be considered a strong TE1 option for […]

Rico Gathers Inactive Sunday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers is a healthy inactive in Week 1 against the Panthers. Gathers might be the best playmaker in the tight end group for the Cowboys, but he's currently buried on the depth chart. Geoff Swaim is listed as the No. 1 tight end, but he's mainly a blocker. Blake Jarwin […]

Nathan Peterman Benched Against Bills

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman has been benched in Week 1 against the Ravens. Peterman was downright atrocious. He went 5-for-18 for 24 yards and two interceptions with the team trailing 40-0. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen has entered the game and should start in Week 2. The Bills are a mess, not just at the […]

Jermaine Gresham Out In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) is inactive in Week 1 against the Redskins. Recently being activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, Gresham wasn't a realistic start for the season opener. The Cardinals will likely ease him in to open the season if he's active next week. Ricky Seals-Jones is the team's […]

Samaje Perine Inactive Against Cardinals

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine is a healthy inactive in Week 1 against the Cardinals. This isn't a huge surprise with Adrian Peterson starting and Rob Kelley backing him up on early downs for the Redskins in the season opener. Perine can be ignored in all fantasy leagues for now. Wide receiver Maurice Harris […]

Seantrel Henderson Suffers Broken Ankle

Houston Texans right tackle Seantrel Henderson (ankle) suffered a broken ankle in Week 1 against the Patriots, according to a league source. It's obviously terrible news and means Henderson will miss the entire season. It's bad news for Houston's running game and second-year quarterback Deshaun Watson moving forward.

Trae Waynes Injures Knee Sunday

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes (knee) left the game early in Week 1 against the 49ers and is questionable to return. Trainers put a sleeve on Waynes' right knee in the first half, but he didn't return in the second half. With Mackensie Alexander inactive for this game, the Vikings are now down two starting […]

Wayne Gallman Questionable To Return

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (knee) left the game early in Week 1 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Gallman had just one carry for negative-one yard and two catches for nine yards before leaving the game. Veteran Jonathan Stewart remains the primary backup to rookie Saquon Barkley.

Mike Evans Leaves With Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans left the game early in Week 1 against the Saints with an unknown injury. It looked like Evans was pointing to his right arm, but the extent and nature of the injury are unknown. Stay tuned for more updates. Evans had five receptions for 90 yards before departing. […]

Eric Berry Officially Out In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 1 against the Chargers. Running back Darrel Williams is also a healthy scratch. Berry was never expected to play in this one after missing practice all week. He might be up against it to return in Week 2 as well. Without the veteran playmaker […]

Randal Grichuk Injured Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (face) left the game early on Sunday after taking a stool to the face during a slide in foul territory. Grichuk struck out twice in two plate appearances before departing. It's unknown how serious his injury is at this time, so check back later for updates. Grichuk has been […]

Clayton Kershaw Pushed Back To Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will not start in the series against the Reds next week and will instead make the start on Thursday against the Cardinals, giving him an extra day off. Wednesday's starter against Cincinnati is to be determined, but it could wind up being Ross Stripling, who recently came off […]

David Peralta Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Braves

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (ankle), who tweaked his ankle at first base on Saturday, is out of the starting lineup on Sunday. Peralta's injury isn't believed to be serious, so expect him to return on Monday. The left-handed hitter is batting .296/.354/.518 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI and 69 runs scored in 504 […]

Jacob deGrom Scratched Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has been scratched from his start on Sunday due to inclement weather. Pitcher Corey Oswalt got the start instead against the Phillies. The Mets didn't want to risk their ace in a wet contest and will instead let him go on Monday in a much better matchup against […]

Nick Williams Banged Up

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Williams (finger, shoulder) has been bothered by a finger and shoulder injury of late, and he's not in the starting lineup on Sunday. Williams' injuries shouldn't keep him out for long, and he could be back in there on Monday. The 25-year-old outfielder is batting .257/.327/.430 on the year with 17 […]

Sonny Gray To Start Tuesday

New York Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray is slated to start on Tuesday against the Twins. Gray has been great for New York since moving to the bullpen, but overall he has a 4.96 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 over 27 outings (22 starts). Despite his ugly overall numbers, Gray could be a sleeper streamer […]

Jose Abreu Could Return Monday

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria is hoping first baseman Jose Abreu (groin) can return from the disabled list on Monday. If Abreu returns on Monday, he should be re-inserted into all fantasy lineups. The 31-year-old is hitting a nice .272/.331/.491 with 22 home runs and 78 RBI for a rebuilding White Sox club.

Aaron Judge Takes BP Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) took batting practice indoors on Saturday and is scheduled to hit on the field this week. With Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starting a five-game playoff series on Tuesday, Judge could see live at-bats on a rehab assignment if the series lasts long enough. It's great news for Judge and means […]

Tigers Add Christin Stewart

The Detroit Tigers called up outfield prospect Christin Stewart from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. Stewart was the team's first-round pick in 2015 and will be the everyday left fielder for the final three weeks, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. However, Stewart isn't starting on Sunday. Detroit also called up catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Zac […]

Tyler Austin To Take BP Monday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Tyler Austin (back) will try to take batting practice on Monday after being "backed off from swings" for a few days. He is feeling better and is "heading in the right direction," according to manager Paul Molitor. It's unclear how much Austin will be able to play down the stretch. He […]
