Marlins Acquire Jake Mangum From The Mets

The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Jake Mangum as the player to be named later in the trade with the New York Mets that involved Jeff Brigham and Elieser Hernandez. Mangum wasn't one of the Mets' top 30 prospects, and he was left unprotected in this week's Rule 5 draft. Mangum is strong defensively and has […]

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) had right shoulder surgery on Wednesday that was described as a "general cleanup of the rotator cuff and labrum." The goal is for Feyereisen to resume throwing in four months, so he will miss at least the start of the 2023 season. Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin believes […]

Zay Jones Limited Again Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (chest) put in a limited practice on Thursday for the second day in a row this week. There's no indication that Jones' injury will keep him from playing this weekend against the Tennessee Titans. However, quarterback Trevor Lawrence (toe) might not play, so Jacksonville's receivers would need to be […]

Trevor Lawrence Misses Another Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (toe) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Head coach Doug Pederson said on Wednesday that he thought Lawrence might be able to practice at some point this week. Friday's session will be a shorter workout, so it's possible Lawrence can get back on the field then. […]

Kalif Raymond Still Sidelined At Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (illness) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday due to an illness. He'll need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have a shot at playing this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. But even if Raymond is able to play in Week 14, he […]

D'Andre Swift Practicing In Full

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Barring some sort of setback on Friday, Swift should be all systems go for a Week 14 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old has been a frustrating RB in fantasy all year, […]

Tee Higgins Pops Up On Week 14 Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Higgins put in a full practice on Wednesday, so he may have tweaked something in Thursday's practice. His status will be worth keeping an eye on before Friday's official injury […]

Greg Dortch Returns To Full Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) was back to a full practice on Thursday. Dortch had nine catches for a career-high 109 yards in Week 11, but he then missed the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The team's bye last week seems to have done wonders for Dortch, and he's tracking […]

DeAndre Hopkins Out Sick Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) was held out of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Hopkins still has a few days left to return to practice with the Cardinals facing the New England Patriots on Monday night in Week 14.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (calf) is expected to miss a second straight game in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. Cooks has missed practice each of the last two days. Nico Collins (foot) also missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and he's trending in the wrong direction this weekend as well. If Houston […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Has Earned Bigger Role

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing said that rookie tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has earned more opportunities and they've looked at drawing up more ways to get him the football. No tight end in football has more 40-plus-yard plays this year than Okonkwo, and he had four catches on five targets for a season-high 68 […]

Joe Mixon Has Cleared Concussion Protocols

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocols last week, but the Bengals held him out in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs as a precaution.

Lamar Jackson Misses Another Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jackson sprained his left PCL in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos and is "less likely" to play this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Fantasy managers should fully expect the […]

Rondale Moore Not Spotted On Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday.

Carolina Panthers running back D'Onta Foreman (foot) returned to practice on Thursday and is in full pads.

Chris Boswell Designated To Return From IR

The Pittsburgh Steelers designated kicker Chris Boswell (groin) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday, opening his 21-day window to officially be activated from Injured Reserve. Boswell has been out since Week 7, but there's a chance he could return to starting kicking duties for Pittsburgh in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens. Matthew Wright […]

Jakobi Meyers, Damien Harris Miss Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (head) and running back Damien Harris (thigh) both missed practice on Thursday. It's bad news for a struggling Patriots offense. Meyers is about to be the team's leading receiver for the third straight season, but he left last week's game early with a head injury. Meyers said he […]

Giants Acquire Blake Sabol From The Reds

The San Francisco Giants acquired catcher/outfielder Blake Sabol from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations and a player to be named later.

Diamondbacks Sign Austin Brice To Minor-League Deal

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed free-agent right-hander Austin Brice to a minor-league deal. Brice will head to the desert after spending the 2022 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent outfielder Jason Heyward to a minor-league deal on Thursday.

Mets Could Reunite With Trevor Williams

The New York Mets are talking to free-agent right-hander Trevor Williams about a reunion. The 30-year-old is a pitcher to keep an eye on, and the Mets aren't the only team in on him this offseason. Williams went 3-5 with a 3.21 ERA (3.88 FIP), a 1.23 WHIP, 84 strikeouts and 23 walks in 89 […]

Corey Davis Returns To Practice Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday due to an illness. With Davis returning to the practice field on Thursday, he should be good to go to play in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old and the rest of the Jets […]

Deshaun Watson Remains The Browns Starter

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated that quarterback Deshaun Watson will remain the starter under center despite looking extremely rusty in his season debut in the Week 13 win over his former team, the Houston Texans. In his regular season game in 700 days, Watson went 12-for-22 for 131 yards, no touchdowns and one […]

Caleb Farley Will Miss Rest Of The Season

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed earlier this week that the team will officially be moving forward with rookie seventh-round quarterback Brock Purdy under center after the injury to Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), beginning in Week 14 against a tough Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. There's a small chance that Garoppolo could return if the […]

Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins Both Miss Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot) both missed practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. If one or both of Cooks and/or Collins are unable to play this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys, Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett would benefit from larger roles in the passing game […]

Baker Mayfield Expected To Be Active, Could Start

New Los Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield is expected to be active on Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, and there's a real chance he plays if John Wolford (neck) isn't deemed healthy enough after pre-game warmups, according to sources. Mayfield arrived on Tuesday night after he was claimed off waivers […]

John Wolford A Game-Time Decision

The Los Angeles Rams want to go through pre-game warmups on Thursday night to see how quarterback John Wolford (neck) is doing before they decide on who will start under center. Wolford got in some limited practices this week, but he's questionable to play against the Las Vegas Raiders. If Wolford isn't healthy enough to […]
