Tyler Kroft Injured At Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) left practice on Thursday after suffering an ankle injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, but this is obviously bad news for a player who was on the verge of making his season debut against his old team, the Bengals. Even had Kroft played in Week 3, […]

Dallas Goedert Not Practicing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goedert should be considered doubtful at this point to play in Week 3 against the Lions. He's not much of a tight end streamer unless Zach Ertz misses time with injury. The Eagles are expected to be without […]

Albert Wilson Doubtful Against Cowboys

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) will likely miss his second straight game in Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to a source. He's "doubtful" at this point as he rehabs the calf injury that kept him off the field in Week 2. Wilson hasn't practiced this week and didn't practice all of […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh Rosen Sharing First-Team Reps

A Miami Dolphins player said that quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen are sharing first-team repetitions at practice on Thursday. However, head coach Brian Flores said that Fitzpatrick remains the starter "right now." Fitzpatrick has been benched late in the game each of the first two weeks, but Rosen hasn't looked much better in his […]

Jimmy Graham Still Out Thursday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Graham's status should not taken for granted, as he's definitely trending toward sitting out in Week 3 against the Broncos. If he does play, he'll be a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2. Marcedes Lewis would see more work […]

Sterling Shepard Practices In Full Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday for the first time since he suffered a concussion in Week 1. He sat out of the Week 2 game. However, Bennie Fowler (hamstring) and Cody Latimer (concussion) missed practice. With Fowler and Latimer trending toward sitting out in Week 3 against […]

Tyrell Williams Practicing Again Thursday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (hip) is at practice again on Thursday. Williams is dealing with a hip pointer but should be able to suit up in Week 3 on the road against the Vikings. Despite the tough opponent, the Vikes have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game (27.4) to wide receivers […]

Mark Andrews Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It means that Andrews is on track to play in Week 3 against the Chiefs in what could be a shootout. The 24-year-old has 16 catches, has gone over the century mark twice and has scored in both […]

Marlon Mack, Darius Leonard Missing Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) and All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) both missed practice again on Thursday. Earlier this week Mack was seen with a protective boot. He leads the NFL with 45 carries through two games, so losing him in Week 3 against the Falcons would be rough for the Colts and […]

Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Expected To Miss Week 4

If the Philadelphia Eagles get wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) back by Week 5 against the Jets, it would be considered a good result. It's time to remove Jeffery and Jackson from your lineups for Week 3 against the Lions if you haven't already done so. Nelson Agholor should see heavy […]

Franmil Reyes Back in Lineup

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes is back in the lineup Thursday after missing two games due to what the team only called a family issue. Reyes is only hitting .200/.293/.340 with one home run in 14 games in September but does have 11 RBI thanks to Cleveland's lineup ahead of him. He's nonetheless a […]

Jack Flaherty Draws Tough Cubs Matchup

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty is drawing his toughest matchup in some time on Thursday as St. Louis faces the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley. It may be Flaherty's hardest start since an August 7 bout against the Dodgers, but he handled that one with ease: seven innings, no runs, and 10 strikeouts. He […]

Harrison Bader Returns to Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader is back in the lineup batting eighth Thursday after an off day on Wednesday. Matt Carpenter, in turn, returns to the bench as his lost season continues. Eighth is obviously not the best lineup spot for DFS purposes against the Chicago Cubs and starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks. You may […]

Jean Segura Leaves with Apparent Hamstring Injury

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura left Thursday's day game with an apparent left hamstring injury. Segura has disappointed this season with a .283 average and 10 steals, his worst marks since 2015 and 2012, respectively, and at this point in the season any injury of even intermediate seriousness means an end to the season but […]

Jeimer Candelario Batting Fifth Thursday

Detroit Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario, who has been dealing with triceps soreness, is back in the team's lineup and playing first base on Thursday. However, the Tigers are facing the Cleveland Indians and starting pitcher Mike Clevinger, so the entire Detroit lineup is a DFS fade even with a small slate. As for Candelario's value […]

Domingo German On Leave in Domestic-Violence Case

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German has been placed by MLB on administrative leave under its domestic-violence policy. There are no details about the case itself. For what it's worth, there are obvious fantasy implications. German will miss at least one start, as the administrative leave requires at least seven days off. German's 4.03 […]

Brandon Woodruff Experiencing Arm Soreness

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff, who just returned from an oblique injury on September 17, told reporters Thursday that he experienced some arm soreness after his two-inning appearance. Even though his oblique seemed okay, this is obviously not something the Brewers or fantasy managers want to hear. Woodruff would be a worthwhile fantasy option […]

Jordan Reed Not On The Field Thursday

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) is still dealing with a concussion and was not on the practice field on Thursday. Reed is likely to miss his third straight game to begin the season. He just can't stay healthy. With Washington playing on Monday night, nobody should have Reed in their lineup hoping that […]

Manny Machado Sitting Thursday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado takes a seat for Thursday's matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite 30 home runs, this season has been a major disappointment for Machado, who is hitting just .253/.332/.456 with 79 runs scored, 82 driven in, and a 5-for-8 record stealing bases. This is his second day off in […]

Handling the Saints Offense After Drew Brees' Injury

As if we hadn't had enough of quarterback injuries after the news of Ben Roethlisberger's season-ending elbow surgery, Drew Brees joined the injury-party of Week 2 with an injury to his right thumb after hitting Aaron Donald while in throwing motion during the first quarter of New Orleans' game against the Rams. A simple visit […]

Is Lamar Jackson This Year's Pat Mahomes?

Can Tony Pollard replace Zeke? Is T.J. Hockenson the next George Kittle? Is Lamar Jackson the next Patrick Mahomes? We’re driven to hyperbolic statements; it’s the nature of fantasy sports. Yet, while the rest of the owners in your league are losing their minds over every good or bad game, you should take a second […]

Blake Treinen Out for Rest of 2019

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Blake Treinen will miss the rest of the 2019 season with back and shoulder issues. After posting a 0.78 ERA in 2018, Treinen lost his closing job after a June injury and did not come close to reclaiming it, and now his lost season is over. He is still owned in […]

Damien Williams, LeSean McCoy Headed In Opposite Direction

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) isn't scheduled to practice again on Thursday, while the Chiefs are saying that LeSean McCoy (ankle) will practice. Williams hasn't practiced yet this week, making him doubtful to play on Sunday against the Ravens. McCoy might be questionable but has a much better chance of suiting up. […]
