Brandon Belt Swinging The Bat

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) has been swinging in the indoor cages and will take ground balls this weekend. Belt has been on the disabled list since hyperextending his knee on July 25. He's having a solid year with the Giants, hitting .278 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI. It might […]

Kevin Zeitler Out A Few Weeks

Cleveland Browns guard Kevin Zeitler (calf) is dealing with a calf injury that will keep him out for "awhile" in training camp, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson is hoping Zeitler can be back in "a few weeks." Zeitler was solid for the Browns last year and should be fine for the regular season.

Cole Wick Carted Off Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end Cole Wick (knee) was carted off the field with a right knee injury on Thursday and was taken to a local hospital. The second-year tight end landed awkwardly on his leg trying to haul in a high pass. Wick was already behind George Kittle and Garrett Celek on the depth […]

Brandon Marshall Takes Part In Team Drills

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle, toe), who had toe and ankle surgeries in the offseason, took part in team drills for the first time in training camp on Thursday. He was limited but caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Russell Wilson in red-zone drills. “It was a unique situation for me this whole […]

Quincy Enunwa Misses Another Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hand) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, though, so Enunwa should return to the field soon. He missed all of last year with a neck injury but is likely to be the No. 2 receiver behind Robby Anderson in 2018. […]

Chad Hansen Has Disappeared In Camp

New York Jets wide receiver Chad Hansen, who was a standout this spring, has disappeared so far in training camp. He's competing for the No. 4 job this year behind Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse. Terrelle Pryor is also in the fold, so Hansen doesn't have a good shot at fantasy relevance.

Isaiah Crowell To Be Big Factor In Offense

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell is showing his speed in training camp and is a better receiver than head coach Todd Bowles expected. Crowell will be a big factor in the offense. With Elijah McGuire injured, Crowell's stock is slowly rising, especially in PPR leagues. He could be a decent RB3/flex type.

Roberto Osuna Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Roberto Osuna, who was acquired from the Blue Jays, will start his rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday. He will join the Astros on Sunday in Los Angeles. He's been serving an 75-game suspension for a domestic-assault case, but he's eligible to return on Sunday and could take over […]

Justin Turner Activated, Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) has been activated from the disabled list and is starting at third base and batting third against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin on Thursday. Turner has been a disappointment this year and has rarely be healthy, but he still has a lot of potential and should be put […]

Antonio Brown Will Be Fine

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected "to be fine in a few days," according to a source. The exact nature of Brown's injury is unknown, but he's just day-to-day. Brown is the best all-around receiver in the game still and should be the first wideout taken in the first […]

Marqise Lee, Donte Moncrief Both Practicing

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee practiced in full on Thursday, while wideout Donte Moncrief (ankle) worked on the side. Both players were injured in practice last weekend. They should both be fine moving forward. Lee has become the team's No. 1 wideout in 2018, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll put up big numbers […]

Dede Westbrook Flashing In Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has flashed early on in training camp and had multiple catches on Thursday, including a 45-yarder from quarterback Cody Kessler. Westbrook's rookie season got off to a late start due to injury, but he showed flashes of his potential late in the year. However, Keelan Cole is probably ahead […]

Leonard Fournette Feeling Better

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette said he feels better playing 15 pounds lighter this year. “I have been more consistent on my bursts and stuff, just a lot of conditioning I have been doing in the offseason…," Fournette said. Fournette was solid in his rookie year but faded down the stretch with nagging injuries. […]

Antonio Brown Being Evaluated For Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury but is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The injury probably isn't serious, but stay tuned. Brown is a top receiver in fantasy and has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of the last five seasons and in six of […]

David Wright Running Out Of Time

New York Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said third baseman David Wright (back, shoulder) is running out of time if he wants to play this year. Wright has been working out, but there is no timetable for him to go on a minor league rehab assignment. The oft-injured third baseman hasn't played in a […]

Kris Bryant Still Feeling Pain

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is still feeling pain in his shoulder during range-of-motion exercises. He hasn't resumed any baseball activities yet, either, suggesting he isn't close to returning from the disabled list. Fantasy owners must continue to hold him, but he's becoming somewhat of a letdown with 11 […]

Marcell Ozuna Plans To Be Ready Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (foot) said he had a corn shaved off his foot and plans to be ready to play on Friday. Ozuna left the game early on Thursday, but it appears it's nothing serious. Be ready to get him back into your lineups on Friday. The left fielder is batting .270/.313/.395 […]

Rafael Devers Hitting Thursday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) is hitting on the field on Thursday and should be ready to return from the disabled list when he's eligible. Devers has hit just .245 this year but also has 15 home runs, 52 RBI, five steals and 45 runs scored. He'll return to his everyday role […]

Lance Lynn Entering Rotation

New York Yankees starting pitcher Lance Lynn, who was acquired from the Twins this week, will slide into the rotation following the demotion of Sonny Gray to the bullpen. Lynn threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of Gray on Wednesday and struck out five in 71 pitches. The right-hander might not be much better […]

Stephen Strasburg Throws Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) threw from 90 feet on Wednesday and felt fine. Manager Dave Martinez said Strasburg will likely throw again before getting back on a mound. Strasburg is expected to make a rehab start before coming off the disabled list. Barring a setback, Strasburg should be able to return to […]

Blocking A Concern For Mike Gesicki

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki missed a blitz in practice on Thursday, and his blocking continues to be a concern, as he wasn't asked to do much blitz pickup in college. However, he made up for it by catching a nice touchdown from quarterback Brock Osweiler in one-on-one drills. Gesicki has been one […]

Brandon Morrow Playing Catch Thursday

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) is playing catch in the outfield on Thursday. Morrow has been slow to recover from his injury, but he should remain stashed in all formats, as he'll likely jump right back into the closer's role when he's ready. He has a pristine 1.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 31 K's […]

Trevor Williams Avoids High Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams (ankle) avoided a high ankle sprain and will play in the preseason at some point. The Chargers won't rush him back, but this is great news for their secondary after they lost Jason Verrett (Achilles) for the season last week. Williams had a fine season for the Bolts last […]

Rob Kelley Has Slimmed Down

Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley, commonly known as Fat Rob, has slimmed down in the offseason and is playing lighter and faster at 221 pounds. He played in just seven games last year and struggled when on the field with 62 carries for 194 yards and three touchdowns. He took the lion's share of […]

Eduardo Rodriguez To Throw Bullpen Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) will throw a bullpen session next Tuesday. Manager Alex Cora said Rodriguez "looks great." It's great news for the left-hander, who should remain stashed in most leagues if you have the room. The 25-year-old was 11-3 with a nice 3.44 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 110 strikeouts in […]

Red Sox Not Rushing Xander Bogaerts Back

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said they "aren't rushing" to get shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) back into the lineup. It doesn't seem as though this injury will land the star shortstop on the disabled list, but he's out of the lineup again on Thursday and could miss another game or […]

Blake Snell To Return Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash confirmed that starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) will return from the disabled list to face the White Sox on Saturday. Snell was on the All-Star team for the first time in his young career and has been the team's ace all season. He'll return to a 12-5 record, 2.27 […]

Drew Smyly Throwing Simulated Game Thursday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Drew Smyly (elbow) is on the mound for a simulated game on Thursday. Smyly is slowly making progress from Tommy John surgery. He could pitch for the Cubs to close out the season, but it'd be a stretch to think that he can contribute meaningful numbers to fantasy rosters in 2018.

Steven Matz Likely To Miss Next Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (arm) is dealing with a mild flexor pronator strain in his left arm and is likely to miss his next start. The Mets could place him on the disabled list. "There's a good chance we take the conservative route," assistant general manager John Ricco said. Matz had been […]

Terrance Williams' Legal Issues Settled

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams' case has been settled and he has paid $2,680.11 to the city of Frisco for damages. His charge of public intoxication is being dismissed after he completed an alcohol awareness and education course. With his legal issues cleared up, Williams should avoid a suspension from the NFL. Still, he's […]
