Tyreek Hill Still On Miami's Injury Report

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) remains on the team's Week 13 injury report and was listed as limited on the estimated practice report on Monday.

Romeo Doubs Picks Up DNP On Monday

The Green Bay Packers listed wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) as a non-participant on their estimated practice report on Monday. The Packers didn't officially hold a practice.

Brock Purdy Does "Light Throwing" On Monday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) did some "light throwing" on Monday and that everything was good. Purdy sat out of the Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday due to a right-shoulder injury that remains somewhat of a mystery. It's good news that the […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Listed As Non-Participant At Practice

Detroit Lions wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) and Kalif Raymond (foot) were both listed as non-participants for the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. St. Brown played 94% of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, so it's likely that the Lions are just giving the 25-year-old star pass-catcher a […]

David Montgomery Listed As DNP On Monday

In the Detroit Lions' estimated practice report on Monday, they listed running back David Montgomery (shoulder) as a non-participant. Montgomery injured his shoulder in the second half and never returned in the Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, but he said post-game that he would be ready to go for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against […]

Blue Jays Could Make Aggressive Play For Anthony Santander

USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale reports that the Toronto Blue Jays badly covet free-agent outfielder Anthony Santander and could overpay to get him.

The Philadelphia Phillies have spoken about third baseman Alec Bohm and outfield prospect Justin Crawford in extensive trade talks with the Chicago White Sox for left-handed starter Garrett Crochet, but the White Sox are worried about Bohm's second-half struggles in 2024 (.681 OPS with only four homers).

Despite being a cash cow in one of the largest markets in baseball, the Chicago Cubs are focusing on mid-market players this offseason and are probably out on outfielder Juan Soto and starting pitchers Corbin Burnes, Max Fried and Blake Snell.

USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale writes that the Boston Red Sox are talking a big game this offseason and plan to be involved in the bidding for all of the top free agents.

Mets The Clear-Cut Favorites To Land Juan Soto

MLB executives believe that the New York Mets are the clear-cut favorites to sign free-agent outfielder Juan Soto, simply because nobody thinks anyone will outbid owner Steve Cohen, possibly before the winter meetings end in early December. The Mets, Yankees, Blue Jays and Red Sox are the only serious suitors for Soto. The Phillies haven't […]

Yusei Kikuchi Signs Three-Year Deal With Angels

Free-agent left-hander Yusei Kikuchi signed a three-year, $63 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. The Angels continue to be the most aggressive team early in free agency this offseason. Kikuchi gives the Halos a much-needed addition to their starting rotation for 2025 and beyond.

Roquan Smith Unlikely To Play On Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), who is questionable to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, is unlikely to suit up, according to sources.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (neck) is "good" after he suffered a stinger late in the 30-7 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet continued in his low-volume backup role in the Week 12 victory over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, carrying the ball six times for 22 yards (3.7 yards per carry) while not being targeted in the passing game for the first time all year.

The Las Vegas Raiders are hoping that quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) will be available to take over as the starter in Week 13 on Friday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs now that Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) is out for the rest of the year. O'Connell has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken […]

Trevor Lawrence Will Practice On Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will practice on Monday to give the team an idea where he's at coming off the bye week. An AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder has kept Lawrence out for the team's last two games, but the 25-year-old could be making […]

Josh Downs Week-To-Week With Shoulder Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder), who injured his right shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, is considered week-to-week and is a long shot to play in Week 13 against the New England Patriots, according to a source.

We recommended starting Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz in all fantasy formats in a good Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, and he did not disappoint.

Javonte Williams Gains Four Yards On 10 Touches In Week 12

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had a disaster of a performance in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday a week after taking over lead-back duties in Denver's backfield. Williams had a team-high eight carries but produced minus-two yards while catching two of four targets for just […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Surprisingly Leads Broncos In Rushing In Win Over Raiders

The Denver Broncos may have the workings of a frustrating three-man committee backfield after running back Jaleel McLaughlin had seven carries for a team-high 44 rushing yards in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday. McLaughlin wasn't able to reel in his only target. Javonte Williams actually led […]

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught six of his nine targets for a season-high 80 yards in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Week 12 action.
