DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension. "He's been on fire right now," Jackson told NFL Network's Scott Hanson and Willie McGinest on Monday. "With the way the team is rallying behind him and […]

Eli Apple Unlikely To Play In Week 3

New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple (groin) suffered a groin injury in Week 2 that will likely keep him out this weekend against the Texans. B.W. Webb replaced Apple in the lineup and will likely move into a starting role if Apple is inactive. Apple sitting out this weekend would be an upgrade for Houston […]

Tom Brady Lowering Expectations For Josh Gordon

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is lowering the expectations of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who the Patriots acquired via a trade on Monday. "You know, I hate to make projections and expectations. That's not fair," Brady told Jim Gray on Westwood One on Monday night. "I've never met Josh personally, just like I hadn't […]

Chris Carson Tires Out In Second Half

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson was "gassed" from playing special teams in Monday night's loss to the Bears, which is why he didn't touch the ball at all on offense in the second half. The team also wanted to see what rookie Rashaad Penny could do, too. It seems […]

Trevor Story Injures Elbow In Loss To Dodgers

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) left the game early with right elbow soreness on Monday and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. The fact that Story left in the middle of his at-bat can't be a good sign, but we'll wait to find out more about his injury on Tuesday. Story has been one of […]

Josh Reddick Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (Achilles) is being listed as day-to-day with pain in his Achilles, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Reddick was forced to leave the game early on Monday as a result. The left-handed hitter is batting just .240/.312/.391 with 15 homers, 44 RBI and seven stolen bases on […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Injures Calf Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left calf on Monday and will be evaluated on Tuesday. Cabrera was hitless in three plate appearances before leaving this game. While a Grade 1 strain is the least severe, this could still end his season with not many games left. Cabrera […]

Josh Reddick Injured Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (ankle) left the game early on Monday with right ankle discomfort. Reddick was hitless in his lone plate appearance before departing the contest. The left-handed hitter actually has reverse splits this year, hitting .280 against lefties and just .223 against right-handers. Overall, he's hitting .240/.312/.391 with 15 homers, 44 RBI […]

Eddie Rosario Aggravates Quad Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) aggravated his quad injury on Monday and was forced from the game. The good news is that Rosario hit a solo home run in three plate appearances before leaving. The bad news is that this is an injury that has kept Rosario from playing recently and could force him […]

Adam Frazier Injures Knee Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier (knee) left the game early with a knee injury on Monday. Frazier fouled a ball off his knee, stayed in the game and doubled before leaving the game. He had two hits, including the double, a run scored, two RBI and a walk in three plate appearances before leaving. The […]

Greg Zuerlein To Miss A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will be out "at least a few weeks." Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the game and kicks for one of the best offenses in the league, so his absence will be felt by the Rams and his fantasy owners. […]

Matt Andriese To Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Andriese will start against the Cubs on Tuesday. Andriese has made four starts this year, but all four came with the Rays, and he has not started a game since July 4. That means that Andriese probably won't stay in this game for more than a few innings. He has a […]

Aaron Judge Won't Return To Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) had no issues after taking part in a simulated game on Monday, but he won't return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Wednesday could be the day that the slugger returns for the first time since fracturing his wrist in late July. Judge is […]

Redskins Signing Michael Floyd

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Monday, according to a source. Washington clearly isn't happy with the production they are getting from Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, so they are bringing in some competition/depth. They also added former first-rounder Breshad Perriman on Monday. Floyd didn't make final cuts […]

Broncos Sticking With Hot Hand In Backfield

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he isn't considering starting rookie running back Phillip Lindsay after he has impressed in the first two weeks. “No, because it doesn’t matter. Our deal with that room is more of gameplan. It’s what they do best. It’s more of who has the hot hand that day," Joseph […]

Zane Gonzalez Dealt With Groin Injury

Former Cleveland Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez (groin) had been kicking with a groin injury that required an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source. The Browns wound up releasing Gonzalez and signing Greg Joseph on Monday. The groin issue might help explain why Gonzalez missed two field goals and two extra points in the […]

Jarvis Landry, Seth DeValve On Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) and tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) were on the injury report for Week 3 on Monday. DeValve didn't practice, while Landry was limited. The Browns didn't actually conduct a practice, so the report was an estimation. Landry's knee issue isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't keep him […]

Shaquill Griffin Active On Monday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin (thigh) is active for Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. However, cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebackers Bobby Wagner (groin) and K.J. Wright (knee) are out. Seattle's defense was already weak coming into this game, and they are very vulnerable all over, which is great news for Bears […]

Bud Norris Unavailable On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris (finger) is unavailable out of the bullpen on Monday so that he can let the skin on his right middle finger heal. Norris was the closer for most of the season, but he recently lost his job while going through a rough patch while dealing with a hip […]

Sean Reid-Foley To Make At Least One More Start

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Sean Reid-Foley will make at least one more start before the end of the season. The team is monitoring his innings, and he's currently at 155 2/3 for the season. Reid-Foley has a 5.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and nice 11.1 K/9 over five starts in the majors this season. The […]

Tomas Nido Has Earned More Starts

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said catcher Tomas Nido has earned more starts down the stretch. Nido is more of a defense-first backstop and is slashing only .178/.208/.260 with a home run and eight RBI in 73 at-bats for the Mets in 2018. He can continue being ignored in fantasy leagues.

Anthony Alford Called Up Monday

The Toronto Blue Jays called up outfield prospect Anthony Alford from the minors on Monday. The team's No. 5 prospect hit just .238/.314/.339 with five home runs, 36 RBI and 17 steals between Single-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo in the minors this year. It's unlikely he'll see enough playing time down the stretch to be […]

Brandon Drury Doubtful To Return This Year

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Brandon Drury (hand) is "doubtful" to return before the end of the season despite ditching his removable brace. He will begin hitting and fielding in the near future, and the Blue Jays are hoping to make his offseason a normal one. It's been a lost season for Drury, who has played […]

Larry Fitzgerald Will Be Monitored In Practice

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will be monitored in practice this week, but Wilks knows that Fitzgerald wants to play in Week 3 against the Bears. Despite being 35 years old, Fitz was a WR2 coming into the season. However, Arizona's poor offense and weak quarterback play […]

Maikel Franco Expected To Return In 3-4 Days

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder) is still sore from falling into the camera well last week while attempting to make a catch in foul territory, but he is making progress and has been hitting in the cages. Franco is expected to be ready to play again in three to four days. He's been […]

Gerrit Cole Pushed Back, Josh James Starting Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole, who was initially scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, is being pushed back to Friday against the Angels. The Astros are trying to get their rotation set up for the postseason. Not only does this give Cole some extra rest, but it's also a better matchup for his fantasy owners. […]

No Practice For Neal Sterling On Monday

New York Mets tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) did not practice on Monday. Sterling didn't have a catch in the Week 2 loss to the Dolphins and has three catches for 27 yards on the season. On a short week, Sterling may be unlikely to play against the Browns this Thursday. New York's tight end […]

Browns Sign Rod Streater

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver Rod Streater on Monday. The sixth-year pro didn't play at all last season but had 18 catches for 191 yards and two touchdowns in 2016 with the 49ers. He'll provide depth behind Jarvis Landry, rookie Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins after the team traded Josh Gordon to the […]

Redskins Signing Breshad Perriman

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman proved to be a first-round bust after catching 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns after being taken in the 2015 draft for the Ravens. He's unlikely to become fantasy relevant and will be buried on Washington's […]

Francisco Cervelli Out With Flu-Like Symptoms

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Monday with flu-like symptoms. Jacob Stallings is replacing him behind the plate and is batting eighth against Royals starter Brad Keller. Stallings is a desperation catching option in DFS on Monday.
