Jose Iglesias Remains Out on Monday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Iglesias (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Iglesias missed both Saturday and Sunday's game due to lower back stiffness. Jose Peraza will bat seventh and play shortstop versus lefty Cole Hamels. Peraza doesn't have much upside with the bat, so he can be […]

Mike Trout to Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot later this week. The surgery will remove the neuroma from his right foot. It is something that has been bothering Trout for over a week, so it got to the point where he needed to have surgery. The […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: The injury bug should have seriously detracted from the Yankees season, but they managed to find excellent talent in their farm system and off waivers throughout the year, allowing them to cruise into playoff position despite major losses.

Devin Smith To Take On Bigger Role

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that wide receiver Devin Smith "will play more" with Michael Gallup (knee) being out two to four weeks. Smith will be in on three-receiver sets alongside Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb, beginning with a great matchup in Week 3 at home against the hapless Dolphins. The 27-year-old caught […]

Marwin Gonzalez is Back in the Lineup Monday

Minnesota Twins infielder Marwin Gonzalez (abdominal) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Gonzalez has been out since August 27 due to an abdominal strain. He'll play first base and bat eighth versus righty Reynaldo Lopez. Gonzalez isn't in a favorable part of the order, so he won't […]

Alshon Jeffery's Week 3 Status In Question

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) is dealing with a calf strain after being injured on Sunday night in Week 2 against the Falcons, according to a source. His injury isn't serious, but the timing is bad and Jeffery's status for Week 3 against the Lions is in question. DeSean Jackson and Dallas Goedert […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Kyle Lewis has taken the league by storm since his call up earlier this month, although the fantasy baseball world has been slow to take notice - in part because the Mariners are awful and fantasy football has […]

Garrett Richards Will Make Season Debut Monday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Garrett Richards (elbow) will be activated off the 60-day injured list and will make his season debut versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. He spent basically all of the 2019 season rehabbing after having Tommy John surgery. He didn't pitch deep during any of his rehab outings. It's unlikely that […]

James Conner Confident He'll Play In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) said on Monday that he's confident that he will play in Week 3 against the 49ers after tests showed no significant damage to his knee. If he plays at less than 100 percent this Sunday without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow), Conner will be more of an RB2 and […]

Brandon Woodruff Will Draw the Start on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list and draw the start against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Woodruff has been sidelined since late July due to a left strained oblique. The team plans to use him as an opener on Tuesday. Lefty Gio Gonzalez will follow […]

D.J. Chark, Chris Conley, Marqise Lee Limited Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers D.J. Chark (ankle), Chris Conley (hip) and Marqise Lee (knee) were all limited in practice on Monday ahead of the Week 3 game Thursday night against the Titans. All three should be able to suit up, although Lee missed the Week 2 game. Chark has been Jacksonville's most productive wideout through […]

Marcus Mariota, A.J. Brown On Week 3 Injury Report

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) and rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) are both listed on the Week 3 injury report on Monday. Both players should be able to play on a short week on Thursday against the Jags, but neither are enticing fantasy options. Mariota has gone under 30 pass attempts each of […]

Darius Leonard In Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Frank Reich. Leonard developed symptoms after the team's 19-17 win over the Titans in Week 2. He had a game-high tying 10 tackles and a sack in the game and remains one of the top IDP linebackers for fantasy […]

Colts Sticking With Adam Vinatieri

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that kicker Adam Vinatieri will remain the team's kicker. "Just want to make this clear. Adam is our kicker. Make to make sure that's clear," Reich said. There was previous speculation that the veteran would retire after Sunday's win over the Titans, but it looks like the Colts […]

Devin Singletary Day-To-Day

The Buffalo Bills are "still gathering information" on rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring), and he's listed as day-to-day for now. He might miss some practice time this week, but as of now his injury doesn't seem very serious. Singletary has been more impressive than veteran Frank Gore through two games, but Gore carried the […]

Anthony Rizzo To Wear Walking Boot

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (ankle) will be in a walking boot for five to seven days. Rizzo underwent an MRI on Monday and was diagnosed with a lateral right ankle sprain. Rizzo will be re-evaluated when he sheds the walking boot and more should be known about his return after that process. Catcher […]

Tyrell Williams, Josh Jacobs Dinged Up

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (hip) is dealing with a hip pointer and rookie running back Josh Jacobs (groin) has a groin issue. It remains to be seen if either player is in danger of missing Week 3 at the Vikings, but their practices statuses this week will […]

David Johnson Will Play In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back David Johnson (wrist) is fine to play in Week 3 against the Panthers. Because Johnson was forced to leave the Week 2 game against the Ravens with his injury, he only carried the ball seven times for 14 yards and caught his only target in […]

Devante Parker Adds Nothing in Loss to Patriots

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker tied for the team lead with his seven targets in a 43-0 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, but the perennial breakout candidate was unable to haul in even a single catch. Some concessions can be made given that Parker drew primary coverage from shutdown corner Stephon Gilmore, but […]

Luis Urias Capitalizes At Coors Field

San Diego Padres shortstop Luis Urias enjoyed a fantastic series in Coors Field, finishing 5-for-14 with a homer, three doubles and seven runs-plus-RBI against the Colorado Rockies. The setting was certainly favorable, but Urias is scorching at the dish amidst a nine-game hitting streak, batting .400 and raising his OPS from .576 to .662. The […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do you know the first time Frank Gore ran for a touchdown in the NFL? Back in 2005. You do know the last time he did so? Just this weekend against the Giants. New Yorkers would be happier if that was all Gore […]

Michael Gallup Having Surgery, Out 2-4 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee and will miss two to four weeks, according to sources. Gallup should be able to return relatively soon since no structural damage was found besides the meniscus tear. This is a tough one for his fantasy owners, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Remains Dolphins Starter

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the team's starter heading into Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Brian Flores. There has been zero Fitzmagic in Miami in two games to begin the 2019 season, and the 36-year-old veteran was 11-for-21 for 89 yards and three interceptions, including two pick-sixes, in the 43-0 […]

Willie Snead Catches Only Target Sunday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's win against the Cardinals.

James Conner's Injury Isn't Serious

Multiple teammates believe that Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (knee) injury is not serious, but Jaylen Samuels is prepared to start in Week 3 against the 49ers on the road if necessary.
