Brandon Morrow To Throw Sim Game Saturday

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) will throw a simulated game on Saturday. He's hoping to return to games by the end of next week. The Cubs could really use Morrow back now with Pedro Strop (hamstring) out for the rest of the regular season. Morrow could become an option for saves in the final […]

Pedro Strop Out For Rest Of Season

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) will not pitch again in the regular season after an MRI exam showed a moderate left hamstring strain. It's unknown if he'd be able to return if Chicago makes the playoffs. Manager Joe Maddon curiously left Strop in to hit for himself on Thursday with the team up […]

Amara Darboh Going On IR

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (knee) has reverted back to Seattle's roster after being cut by the Patriots. He failed a physical with New England and will be put on Injured Reserve with Seattle, as his contract was "reinstated." Darboh had just eight catches for 71 yards in his rookie season last year with […]

Matt Davidson Available Off Bench

Chicago White Sox third baseman Matt Davidson (calf), who missed the entire series against the Royals with a sore calf, is available off the bench on Friday, according to manager Rick Renteria. Daniel Palka is serving as the designated hitter on Friday, while Nick Delmonico is also starting against Orioles starter Luis Ortiz. Davidson should […]

Steve Wilkerson Likely To Return Next Week

Baltimore Orioles infielder Steve Wilkerson (hamstring) is likely to return to action by Tuesday or Wednesday. Wilkerson has only had 17 at-bats at the major league level this year, but the Orioles might as well get him some playing time down the stretch in a lost season. Wilkerson would only be an AL-only option.

Mark Barron Doubtful For Week 2

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 2 against the Cardinals after missing practice on Friday. He was second on the team with 108 tackles last year and also had four tackles for loss, a sack, three quarterback hits, seven pass breakups and three interceptions. It's one […]

Phillip Lindsay Should Be Fine To Play

Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday, indicating that he should be fine to play for Week 2 against the Raiders. Alongside fellow rookie Royce Freeman, Lindsay was the more impressive back in the season opener, running 15 times for 71 yards and catching […]

Jermaine Gresham Questionable Again

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) was limited in practice all week but is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Rams. Gresham didn't play in Week 1 and probably wouldn't have much of a role if he's active this weekend. The Rams were torched by Raiders tight end Jared Cook in Week […]

DeAndre Washington, Dwayne Harris Questionable

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington (knee) and wide receiver Dwayne Harris (foot) were limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Broncos. Both players are buried on the depth chart and wouldn't even be locks to be active if they were fully healthy.

Marshawn Lynch, Brandon LaFell Not On Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) and wide receiver Brandon LaFell (back) both practiced in full on Friday and were taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Broncos. Lynch will typically show up on the injury report, but he usually plays. He'll be a volume-based RB2/3 against Denver. LaFell was […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Taken Off Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Patriots. ASF will play this weekend but isn't a recommended starting fantasy tight end after catching only three passes in the season opener in an excellent matchup. Running back T.J. […]

Russell Martin Activated From Paternity List

The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Russell Martin from the paternity list on Friday and also activated relief pitcher Joe Biagini (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list. Martin has been terrible this year for Toronto, hitting .194/.338/.325 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI. He will continue to lose playing time down the stretch to […]

Corey Oswalt To Start Saturday

New York Mets pitcher Corey Oswalt will start on Saturday against the Red Sox. Oswalt would be a terrible streaming option for fantasy owners. He sports a 6.62 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and weak 5.8 K/9 over 14 outings (nine starts) for the Mets this season. He'll be facing the best lineup in baseball. Stay away […]

Jeremy Hellickson Expected To Start Saturday

While not yet official, Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (wrist) is lined up to start on Saturday against the Braves instead of Jefry Rodriguez. While Hellickson has been pretty efficient for the Nats this year, he hasn't made a start since Aug. 15 and is unlikely to go very long in this game if […]

Joe Mixon May Need Surgery On Knee

The Cincinnati Bengals are fearful that running back Joe Mixon (knee) will need arthroscopic surgery to clean up the knee that he injured in the Week 2 win over the Ravens on Thursday, according to sources. Mixon will receive a second opinion first. The team's top back would obviously miss some time if he has […]

Marquise Goodwin Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) didn't practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate this year, but he had zero catches before his injury in the season opener and will now sit out in Week 2. In his absence, Pierre […]

Trevor Bauer To throw Bullpen Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) had a successful bullpen session on Wednesday and will throw another one on Saturday. Bauer was a Cy Young candidate before his unfortunate injury, going 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 214 strikeouts over 25 starts. He might be able to make an appearance or two […]

Leonard Fournette's Status Not Looking Good

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette's (hamstring) status for Week 2 against the Patriots isn't looking good. The Jaguars are listing him as questionable for this weekend, but he seems unlikely to play. Fournette was unable to get in a practice all week. This is likely to come down to a game-time decision, but with […]

Devonta Freeman Will Not Play In Week 2

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will not play on Sunday in Week 2 against the Panthers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The Falcons are hoping this isn't a long-term injury, but nothing structurally wrong was found in Freeman's knee. You can officially bench Freeman this week, and there's […]

Aaron Judge Coming Off DL Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will be activated from the disabled list prior to the game on Friday. However, manager Aaron Boone said that Judge will not hit in a game yet but will be available for baserunning and potentially defense. Judge's fantasy owners will be thrilled, but he may not see his […]

Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel Questionable For Week 2

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Jaguars. With both backs putting in multiple days of limited practice, our best guess is that they will both be active, alongside James White. Burkhead remains the preferred […]

Ben Roethlisberger Listed As Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs, but he practiced in full on Friday and his teammates expect him to play. If he can't play, Joshua Dobbs would be under center. We'd be very shocked if Big Ben didn't suit up to play. Not only is […]

LeGarrette Blount, Ezekiel Ansah Questionable

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the 49ers. Blount played very few snaps in a blowout loss in Week 1. He should be able to suit up and should be more involved, but both […]

Vance McDonald, Cameron Heyward Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) and defensive end Cameron Heyward (knee) are both questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs. Both players got in full practices on Friday, which is a good sign for their availability. Cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) is doubtful, while cornerback Artie Burns (toe) is questionable. McDonald sat out the […]

Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams Questionable

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Vikings. More will be known after the team practices on Saturday, but this is the last thing Packers fans want to see. Rodgers could play on Sunday regardless of whether he practices, […]

Corey Davis Good To Go

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 2 injury report against the Texans. Davis was heavily targeted in the Week 1 loss and should be again this weekend. However, he must be downgraded slightly with quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) ailing and expected to cede […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Will Fuller (hamstring), Sammie Coates (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back, elbow) were all limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Titans. Hopkins and Fuller are both fully expected to play this weekend. Hopkins is a […]

Andrew Cashner Receives Cortisone Injection

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner (knee) received a cortisone injection in his left knee on Thursday, but he'll try to throw on Saturday. He's dealing with patella bursitis and has affected him for the last two to three weeks. Cashner believes the injury could be a reason for his lack of fastball command of […]

David Johnson Practices In Full

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) practiced in full on Friday and labeled himself "100 percent" after being limited earlier in the week. All signs are pointing toward him being active against the Rams in Week 2. As long as Johnson is on the field on game days, he'll be a must-start for fantasy […]

Ezekiel Ansah Optimistic He'll Play

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Elliott (shoulder) said he's optimistic he will play in Week 2 against the 49ers. Ansah was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so it looks like there's a good chance he'll play this weekend. He's the team's best chance for a consistent pass rush this year, but he's often […]
