Addison Russell Plays Catch on Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell (concussion) was able to play catch before Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Russell who is still in concussion protocol was able to take batting practice and now throw. The Cubs don't have a timetable for his return, but he appears to be making progress. Ben Zobrist will bat leadoff […]

Deebo Samuel Can't Be Ignored

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is emerging as the go-to wideout in a crowded receiving corps. The second-round rookie led the team in targets, receptions and yards in Week 2, outpacing even All-Pro tight end George Kittle. Drafted for his playmaking abilities, Samuel has delivered and can’t be ignored in fantasy for Week […]

Craig Kimbrel Should Be Activated Soon

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel (elbow) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list soon. Manager Joe Maddon says Kimbrel is on target to return to the bullpen in the next few days. Kimbrel was able to throw a 16-pitch simulated game on Tuesday. He's been sidelined since September 2 due to […]

Trent Taylor, Jalen Hurd Likely Out Until Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Jalen Hurd (back) and Trent Taylor (foot) were absent from Wednesday’s practice. This is no surprise, as head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested a few days prior the team anticipates Hurd and Taylor returning after the Week 4 bye. Both wideouts suffered preseason injuries and are off the fantasy radar until deemed […]

Luis Rengifo Lands on 60-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (hand) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. Rengifo had X-rays taken on his hand and suffering an injury during Tuesday's contest. The tests revealed a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. His season is over after hitting .238/.321/.364 with seven homers and 33 RBI […]

Delanie Walker Looks To Rebound Against Jags

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker will look to bounce back in Week 3 against Jacksonville. After pulling in two touchdowns against the Browns in Week 1, the veteran fizzled out against the Colts on Sunday, finishing that contest with just four receptions for 39 yards. Despite this, he is still one of the most […]

Marquise Goodwin Back In The Mix

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin rewarded risk-seeking fantasy players in Week 2 by racking up 77 yards and a touchdown. Along with rookie wideout Deebo Samuel, Goodwin leads team receivers in snaps by a wide margin (62 percent). The seven-year speed demon is a proven deep threat that can always take the top […]

Mallex Smith Gets the Night Off

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Smith will get a routine day off here, but he should be back in the lineup next game. He won't be able to add to his league leading 44 steals, assuming he doesn't come off the […]

Alex Dickerson is Back in the Lineup on Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (oblique) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Dickerson has been out of the lineup since September 3 due to an oblique injury. He was able to come off the bench and bat earlier in the week. He'll bat cleanup and play […]

Derrick Henry Set For Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will continue to be heavily involved on Thursday night against the Jaguars. Henry has been productive throughout the first two games of the season, racking up 165 yards and two rushing touchdowns on 34 attempts. With the Titans' passing game not doing much to impress, expect the 25-year-old to […]

Buster Posey Sits Out Again on Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Posey continues to deal with lower back tightness. The Giants have no reason to push their veteran catcher back onto the field. Aramis Garcia will bat ninth and draw the start behind the plate […]

Ryan Braun Gets the Night Off on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the lineup as well, so the Brewers are loading up their lineup with left-handed hitters. Ben Gamel will bat sixth and play right field versus righty Dinelson Lamet. Gamel […]

Lorenzo Cain is Out of the Lineup Against Padres

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This is a routine day off for Cain, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Trent Grisham will bat leadoff and draw the start in center field versus righty Dinelson Lamet. Grisham […]

David Price Shut Down for 2019 Season

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) has been shut down for the rest of the 2019 season. This was an expected move, but it became official on Wednesday. Price is going to meet with a hand specialist to determine the next move. Price is owed over $30 for each of the next three […]

Wil Myers is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (arm) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Myers was a late scratch from Tuesday's contest due to arm soreness. However, he was able to come off the bench and take an at-bat. Myers will bat fifth and play left field versus righty […]

Casey Sadler Will Start on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Casey Sadler will draw the start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Tony Gonsolin was expected to draw the start, but he might come out of the bullpen now. Sadler looks like he's going to be the "opener" and Gonsolin will pitch the bulk of the innings. This is a […]

Carlos Correa is Out of the Lineup on Wednesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Correa returned to the lineup on Tuesday after being sidelined for about a month. It appears the Astros are going to be careful with Correa throughout the rest of the regular season. Alex Bregman will draw […]

Justin Turner is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Turner has not played in a game since September 7 due to a sprained ankle. Chris Taylor will bat third and play third base versus lefty Brendan McKay. Taylor has three hits in […]

Sam Darnold Confident He'll Return In Week 5

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) said he has "full confidence" that he'll be ready to play in Week 5 against the Eagles after the team's Week 4 bye. Darnold missed Monday night's game with mononucleosis and will also sit out in Week 3 against the Patriots. Wide receivers Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder […]

J.J. Nelson Still Limited At Practice

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson got in a limited session at Wednesday's practice as he still recovers from an ankle injury. His ailment dates back to Week 2 of the preseason, which limited him to eight snaps in Week 1 and him not even dressing up for last week's game. Nelson has a shot […]

Dante Pettis Fading Into Oblivion

After playing just two snaps in the opener, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis participated in 40 percent of offensive snaps in Week 2 but did not record a target. Through two games, the former breakout candidate has one catch for seven yards and shouldn’t be in any fantasy lineups. Pettis has ceded looks […]

Josh Jacobs Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs got in a limited practice Wednesday after dealing with a groin issue following Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The fact that the rookie participated early in the week is a good sign, and owners should be confident that he suits up for Week 3 barring any setbacks. Jacobs has […]

Matt Breida's Usage Suggests Bankable Floor

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is a safe RB2 in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year back raced for 121 yards in Week 2 on just 12 carries and should again operate in a near-even split with Raheem Mostert. Behind one of the best offensive lines through two weeks, both Breida […]

Tom Brady On Week 3 Injury Report

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (calf) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Brady is often listed on the team's injury report but always winds up playing. He'll be fine for another great spot in Week 3 at home against the reeling Jets. The ageless wonder will keep a high ceiling as a […]

David Moore Has Good Chance To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) has a "really good chance" to play in Week 3 against the Saints. If Moore makes his debut in Week 3, he'll likely be limited in three-wide sets with Tyler Lockett and rookie D.K. Metcalf, although Moore will likely be the third […]

Jameis Winston Will Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (foot) practiced in full on Wednesday and will start in Week 3 against the Giants. Winston looked a little better last Thursday than he did in Week 1, but fantasy owners were still expecting more from him in Bruce Arians' offense. Against New York's porous defense this weekend, Winston […]

Raheem Mostert Shining As Dual-Threat Runner

Given an opportunity in Week 2, San Francisco running back Raheem Mostert broke out with 151 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The fourth-year special teams veteran played well in limited opportunities last season (34 carries, 7.7 YPC) and should continue co-chairing the backfield with Matt Breida in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the […]

Darius Leonard Misses Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) did not practice on Monday after being placed in the concussion protocol following the Week 2 game. Leonard had a team-high 10 tackles and a sack against the Titans, but he'll have to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he's allowed to play in Week 3 against the […]

Marlon Mack Not Seen At Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday. It doesn't mean that Mack won't play in Week 3 at home against the Falcons, but it's certainly something to monitor as the week progresses. Indy is tied for second in the NFL in rushing with 185 yards per game after two […]

Greg Zuerlein Remains A Top Kicking Option Ahead Of Week 2

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect during the team’s 29-7 Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints with two field goals and three extra points. Zuerlein was able to show his range in Week 1 with a 56-yard kick against the Carolina Panthers, quieting any health concerns after the veteran had suffered […]
