Nationals Re-Sign Edwin Jackson

The Washington Nationals re-signed starting pitcher Edwin Jackson to a minor league deal Thursday, but he can make $1.5 million if he's on the big league roster, plus another $1.4 million in potential incentives. Between the Orioles and Nats in 2017, Jackson went 5-6 with a 5.21 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 7.1 K/9 in 76 […]

Aaron Donald Doesn't Plan To Hold Out Again

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who could win Defensive Player of the Year in 2017, said he doesn't plan to hold out for the second season in a row as he seeks a contract extension. Donald sat out all last summer before missing Week 1 of the regular season. He played in just […]

Rex Burkhead, James White, Mike Gillislee Listed As Questionable

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee), James White (ankle) and Mike Gillislee (knee) are all listed as questionable for the Divisional Round against the Titans after practicing on a limited basis Thursday. All three are expected to be healthy enough to play, but Gillislee will likely be the odd-man out as an inactive, […]

Chris Hogan Taken Off Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) has been taken off the injury for the Divisional Round against the Titans. This confirms that he will return to play this weekend. He'll give quarterback Tom Brady another weapon through the air, but even in a great matchup, Hogan is a risky DFS play given the […]

Michael Fulmer On Track For Spring Training

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (elbow) is doing fine and is on track for spring training four months after he had ulnar transposition surgery to reposition the ulnar nerve in his right elbow. "Everything is going fantastic," Fulmer told Tigers play-by-play broadcaster Dan Dickerson and Pat Caputo on Tuesday night on the TigerTalk Hot […]

Twins Waiting For Ruling On Miguel Sano

The Minnesota Twins are hoping that Major League Baseball comes to a resolution before spring training starts of their investigation against third baseman Miguel Sano. MLB is currently conducting their investigation into sexual-assault allegations against Sano, according to Twins general manager Thad Levine. Sanu issued a statement denying the allegations. MLB has made it clear […]

Aaron Donald Extension A Priority For Rams

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who tied a career high with 11.0 sacks and led the league with 91 quarterback pressures, is in line for a contract extension this offseason, but the Rams have not come to an agreement yet. Donald played in just 14 games and was voted to his fourth straight […]

Falcons Don't Have Any Injury Concerns

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team is at full strength from an injury standpoint heading into the Divisional Round against the Eagles this weekend. Wide receivers Julio Jones (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (knee) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) are on the injury report this week, but all three are fine and […]

Marcedes Lewis Limited In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. There's been no indication that Lewis is in danger of missing the Divisional matchup against the Steelers. He's a weak fantasy option, though, as he scored three of his five touchdowns this year in a fluke game on Sept. 24 against the Ravens. […]

Braves Release Adonis Garcia

The Atlanta Braves released third baseman Adonis Garcia so that he can purse an opportunity in the Korean League in 2018. In his three seasons in Atlanta, Garcia had a slash line of .267/.300/.414 with 29 home runs and 110 RBI over 244 games. In his absence next season, expect some combination of Rio Ruiz […]

Seahawks Fire Tom Cable

The Seattle Seahawks fired offensive line coach Tom Cable on Wednesday. The Seahawks are revamping their entire offense and defense this offseason, as they also parted ways with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Kris Richard and quarterbacks coach Carl Davis. It's not a surprise, as Seattle's offensive line was among the worst in the […]

Panthers Finalizing Deal With Norv Turner

The Carolina Panthers are finalizing a deal to make Norv Turner their next offensive coordinator, according to a league source. Turner's son, Scott, will also join the team as the new quarterbacks coach, according to another source. Turner and his son will be tasked with improving quarterback Cam Newton's accuracy and efficiency issues through the […]

Brandon Coleman Sitting Out Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandon Coleman (neck) did not practice Wednesday. It remains to be seen how serious Coleman's injury is or whether it will keep him out this weekend in the Divisional Round against the Vikings. If he's playing, Coleman isn't much of a fantasy option against a strong Minnesota secondary. He had […]

Kyle Rudolph Practices In Full

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday. Rudolph had the bye week to heal up from an ankle injury that bothered him over the last month of the season. He had just four catches in the last three games to close out the year, but he he did eight total touchdowns […]

Chris Hogan, James White Limited

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) and running back James White (ankle) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Both players are expected to play after sitting out in Week 17, although both are extremely risky options for fantasy owners. Hogan has played just once since Week 8 and had one catch. He'll have […]

Mike Gillislee, Malcolm Mitchell Absent Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee (knee) and wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) remained out of practice Wednesday. Gillislee hasn't practiced since suffering his knee injury in Week 16, and he's highly unlikely to be active this weekend against the Titans with Rex Burkhead (knee) expected to return. Mitchell remains on Injured Reserve, and […]

Rex Burkhead Still Favoring His Knee

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee), who was limited in practice Wednesday, is still favoring his injured left knee. He missed the final two games of the regular season and is likely to be limited if he's active in the Divisional Round against the Titans on Saturday. He was sporting a brace on […]

Devonta Freeman, Mohamed Sanu Limited In Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (knee) were both limited in practice Wednesday. There's no reason to think that either player is in danger of missing the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Freeman scored a touchdown in the Wild-Card game and remains Atlanta's lead back, but he'll […]

Julio Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. The Falcons are almost certainly letting Jones rest ahead of the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Jones is used to playing through nagging injuries by now, and he put up nine catches for 94 yards and a touchdown last week in the […]

DeMarco Murray Ruled Out Against Patriots

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee), who missed practice again Wednesday, has been ruled out in the Divisional Round this weekend against the Patriots, according to head coach Mike Mularkey. Murray suffered a Grade 3 tear of his MCL in his right knee two weeks ago and hasn't practiced since. Derrick Henry, who had […]

Mets Touching Base With Jay Bruce

The New York Mets have spoken recently with the agent for free-agent outfielder Jay Bruce, and they remain a possibility to reunite with him. Twenty nine of Bruce's career-high 36 home runs in 2017 came with the Mets in the first half of the season. Familiarity may be a big selling point if the two […]

Matt Ryan Back At Practice

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who missed practice Tuesday to attend to a personal matter, is back at practice Wednesday. There's nothing to see here. Ryan will be fine for the Divisional matchup against the Eagles this weekend, where he'll be a sleeper DFS play. Although Ryan disappointed overall in 2017 after earning MVP honors […]

Kris Richard Not Expected Back In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard is being given the chance to seek other opportunities and isn't expected to return in 2018. Head coach Pete Carroll thinks Richard would benefit from a fresh start with another team, and Richard recently interviewed for the Colts head coaching position. Seattle's defense took a step back in 2017, […]

"Zero Chance" Steve Sarkisian Leaves

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said there is "zero chance" that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian leaves the team to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks next season, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. Sarkisian worked for Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll with USC. Seattle recently fired offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who had been […]

Matt Belisle, Twins Interested In Reunion

The Minnesota Twins and free-agent relief pitcher Matt Belisle are interested in a reunion in 2018, but no deal is close, according to sources. Belisle was a nice surprise for the Twinkies in 2017, going 9-for-11 in save chances, although he did sport a 4.03 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings. Belisle worked […]

Phillies Avoid Arbitration With Cameron Rupp

The Philadelphia Phillies avoided salary arbitration with catcher Cameron Rupp by agreeing to a one-year, $2.05 million deal, according to a source. The right-handed hitting Rupp batted only .236 in 2017 but managed 14 home runs and 34 RBI in 88 games as a part-timer in Philly. He'll likely split time behind the plate in […]

Vic Fangio Likely To Remain In Chicago

It looks as though new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy will keep defensive coordinator Vic Fangio in place for the 2018 season. Fangio was a favorite to jump ship and become the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator, but they are apparently going in another direction. The Bears were an underrated defensive unit in 2017, […]

Chargers Expected To Keep Gus Bradley

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to retain defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, according to sources. This will give continuity to a unit that really excelled in 2017, especially down the stretch. The Chargers have perhaps two of the best pass-rushing linebackers in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, and they should be a top-five fantasy defensive […]

Brad Brach Doing More Cardio Heading Into 2018 Season

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Brad Brach is changing his offseason workout routine to include more long-distance running in order to remain more effective deep into the season. With closer Zach Britton (Achilles) not expected to be ready until around midseason, Brach is expected to begin the year as Baltimore's primary closer. In the last two […]

Panthers Expected To Interview Norv Turner

The Carolina Panthers are expected to interview Norv Turner for their offensive coordinator position, and he is believed to be a top candidate for the position, according to sources. Turner is a good friend of head coach Ron Rivera's from their time coaching together for the San Diego Chargers. Turner has his fair share of […]
