Ezekiel Ansah, Quandre Diggs Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and defensive back Quandre Diggs (hand) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Ansah continues to be a disappointment due to injuries, and he's only played in the season opener this year. He's been effective when on the field, though, tallying four tackles and one sack against the […]

LeGarrette Blount, Michael Roberts Miss Practice

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (illness) and tight end Michael Roberts (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Blount should be fine to suit up in Week 5 against the Packers, but he's not a recommended fantasy play. The burly running back continues to lose touches to rookie Kerryon Johnson and Theo Riddick, and he's […]

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Colts. Gronkowski's injury is believed to be minor, but New England could hold him out as a precaution. He could come down to a game-time decision. […]

Tyrod Taylor Practices In Full

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) practiced in full on Wednesday. Taylor should be fine to serve as rookie QB Baker Mayfield's backup in Week 5 against the Ravens. Taylor has lost what little fantasy value he had at the beginning of the season now that he's holding clipboards on game day.

Alex Collins, Hayden Hurst Limited Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (knee) and rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine for Week 5 against the Browns, and his fumbling issues may be a much bigger problem than his injury. While he is still technically the team's lead back, Javorius Allen […]

Adam Vinatieri, Anthony Castonzo, Darius Leonard Questionable

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin), left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) and rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) were all limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Patriots. The Colts haven't signed another kicker, so we'd expect Vinatieri to give it a go. However, with the Colts likely to be […]

No Practice For Alshon Jeffery

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) did not practice on Wednesday. Jeffery must return to practice on Thursday or Friday to have a chance of playing against the Vikings in Week 5. In his first game back last week, Jeffery had a healthy eight catches on nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Good For Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (ankle, knee) said "this is the freshest I felt after any Wednesday practice I've had." He has no doubts that he will play in Week 5 against the Texans on Sunday night and said "I'm good." Keep Elliott, the NFL's leading rusher after four weeks, locked in as your […]

John Ross Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Ross is on track to play in Week 5 against the Dolphins. He had his best game of the year in Week 4 against the Falcons, catching both of his targets, including a 39-yard touchdown pass. Still, Ross isn't very attractive to […]

Marquise Goodwin, Joe Staley Miss Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Goodwin has been a major bust so far this year due to injuries, and he's caught just five passes on nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in three […]

Latavius Murray Is Not A Viable Fantasy Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray should see plenty of carries with Dalvin Cook (hamstring) still questionable for Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. That is not necessarily a good thing, as the Eagles have only allowed 63.8 rushing yards per game so far this season. Murray, along with the Vikings entire run game, has […]

Aldrick Robinson Should Cool Down In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Aldrick Robinson burst onto the scene in Week 4, snagging two TD catches in his first game with the team. The issue is that those were Robinson's only two targets of the entire contest, and he will have to battle for every opportunity on a deep Vikings offense. While it seems […]

Kyle Rudolph Poised To Continue Mediocre Production

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has offered moderate value to fantasy owners to start the season. He's caught two touchdowns while averaging 47 yards per game through four weeks. This middling level of production looks like it will continue in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to […]

Dalvin Cook Should Be Avoided In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) remains questionable for Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Even if Cook does play, it seems likely that he will end up splitting carries with Latavius Murray to help ease the workload. At this point in the season, the Vikings' running game should be avoided until they find […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option For Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has attempted over 48 throws in each of the past three games. This trend should continue against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5, as the Vikings have yet to establish any sort of a run game. The Eagles still have a stout defense, but they have been surprisingly susceptible through […]

Curtis Samuel, Trai Turner Practice In Full

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) and offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) both practiced in full on Wednesday. Samuel hasn't played at all this year after having a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat. He's no lock to return in Week 5 against the Giants and even if he does, he won't be on […]

Greg Olsen Running Routes

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) resumed running routes and catching passes off to the side at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Olsen re-fractured his right foot in the season opener and there remains no timetable for his return, although he should be back at some point this season. Rookie […]

A.J. Derby Missing Practice

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is out of practice on Wednesday. Derby sat out last week's loss against the Patriots and doesn't appear to be close to a return yet. He has only two catches on three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in three games and isn't a viable fantasy commodity. […]

DeVante Parker, Reshad Jones Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (thigh) was at practice and went through drills on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 4. However, he did have a wrap on his right thigh. Safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who missed back-to-back games the last two weeks despite practicing, was at practice on Wednesday. Parker has played in […]

Adam Thielen A Top-10 WR Option For Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has been a model of consistency through the first four weeks of the season. Thielen has seen over 12 targets and recorded over 100 yards in every game. This should continue heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points […]

Stefon Diggs Poised For Big Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is in line for a heavy workload heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Diggs has seen double-digit targets over the past three weeks and is taking on an Eagles team that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wideouts so far this season. Likewise, the […]

Donald Penn Placed On IR Wednesday

The Oakland Raiders placed right tackle Donald Penn (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a groin injury in Week 4, according to sources. He should be able to return this year, but he'll have to miss at least eight weeks. Penn hasn't been very good for Oakland so far this year, so […]

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and Antonio Callaway (knee) were not practicing on Wednesday. Landry should be fine for Week 5 against the Ravens, but Callaway's status could be in jeopardy for this Sunday. Landry played through his knee ailment last week and caught four passes on 10 targets for 34 yards and […]

Muhammad Wilkerson Expected To Make Full Recovery

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) is expected to make a full recovery after having season-ending ankle surgery on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wilkerson was injured in Week 3 against the Redskins and was placed on Injured Reserve last week. He had signed a one-year, $4.7 million deal with Green […]

Adrian Peterson, Trent Williams Not Practicing Wednesday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee) were both out of practice on Wednesday. Cornerback Josh Norman was working with trainers on the side. All three players should be just fine in Week 5 against the Saints on Monday. Peterson has a minor sprained ankle, while Williams had a […]

Joe Mixon Practicing Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) is practicing in full pads on Wednesday. Mixon said earlier that he hasn't yet been cleared to play in Week 5 against the Dolphins, but it looks like he will be eventually unless he suffers a setback. It's good news for Mixon owners, as he should be back […]

Darren Sproles, Corey Clement Not Practicing

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Corey Clement (quadriceps) are not practicing on Wednesday. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener and remains day-to-day. It's not a good start to the week for either running back. If both players are inactive in Week 5 against the Vikings, Wendell Smallwood and rookie Josh Adams […]

Eric Berry Still Not Practicing

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that safety Eric Berry (heel) is still not practicing on Wednesday. The veteran Berry has yet to practice in the regular season and has no timetable for his return. KC's secondary is ripe for the picking for opposing offenses without Berry in the fold. Jaguars quarterback Blake […]

Sammy Watkins, Dee Ford Will Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and linebacker Dee Ford (groin) will practice on Wednesday after they both left Monday night's win over Denver with injuries. It's good news for their status in Week 5 in a tough matchup with the Jaguars. Watkins was held catchless on one target before he was injured […]

Ezekiel Elliott Likely To Be Limited Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (ankle, knee) will likely be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Jason Garrett. Elliott isn't in any real danger of missing Week 5 against the Texans on Sunday night, but his nagging injuries are definitely worth keeping an eye on as Dallas' only real offense so […]
