Pirates Not Expected To Trade Starling Marte

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte is expected to begin the 2020 season with the team, according to industry sources. Things should become clearer after executives meet at the general manager meetings and winter meetings, and the Pirates haven't exactly made their stance completely clear. The Bucs will exercise Marte's $11.5 million option for 2020, and […]

Drew Lock Not Ready To Return

Denver Broncos president John Elway said that rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) is not ready to return yet, and the team is still deciding whether they'll make him eligible to return from the Injured Reserve. It's more of a question with incumbent quarterback Joe Flacco seemingly getting worse and worse each week. Elway and the […]

George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Raheem Mostert Limited

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin), rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Kittle has been battling through injury and is being rested during the week. He will play in Week 8 against the Panthers and could be the overall TE1 […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Back To Full Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) put in a full practice on Wednesday after being questionable for Week 7 against the Raiders. MVS ultimately played, albeit limited snaps, and finished with over 100 yards and a touchdown with No. 1 wideout Davante Adams (toe) sidelined again. Adams missed practice on Wednesday and […]

Foster Moreau A Sneaky DFS Play

Oakland Raiders tight end Foster Moreau could wind up paying dividends in this week's matchup versus the Houston Texans. This game currently has the highest over/under total of all Week 8 matchups at 51.5 points, and at a cheap $2,700 price on DraftKings, Moreau makes an intriguing dart-throw play in GPP contests. The 22-year-old has […]

Giants Defense Is Still One To Avoid

The New York Giants Defense is still one to avoid in fantasy despite the Lions being without starting running back Kerryon Johnson. Last week the Cardinals back-up, Chase Edmonds, tore through the Giants run defense, so Lions rookie Ty Johnson might do the exact same thing. If the Lions decide to go the air more, […]

Darius Slayton Gets Plus Matchup On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton gets a reprieve on Sunday after facing the elite coverage of Patrick Peterson last week. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out one more week, Slayton will remain the main deep threat on the outside for Daniel Jones. He'll also be going up against a secondary without its top corner […]

Golden Tate Likely To See Positive Game Script On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will look to take advantage of another solid matchup on Sunday against the Lions. Tate has seen at least six targets in every game this season since coming back from suspension, so he seems to have Daniel Jones' trust. With Sterling Shepard expected to miss one more game […]

Evan Engram Looks To Get Back On Track

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram will look to rebound from a disappointing performance last week against the Cardinals. The third-year pro's name has come up in trade discussions, but the Giants are just hoping he produces on the field. For all the talk of Engram's explosiveness, he's only topped 54 yards receiving in […]

Darren Waller A Firm TE1 In Tasty Matchup

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has a salivating matchup this week when the team travels to Houston to take on the Texans. He'll face a shaky defense who has given up 10 touchdowns through the air in their last three games, and a league-high 1,929 passing yards this season. Waller finally found the end […]

Derek Carr On The Week 8 Streaming Radar

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will face the Houston Texans in Week 8, giving him some streaming appeal for managers looking to replace bye-week QBs Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott. Carr is coming off his best fantasy game of 2019, despite two turnovers, where he threw for 293 yards and two scores against the Packers. […]

Anibal Sanchez To Start Game 3 Of World Series

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez will start Game 3 of the World Series on Friday against the Astros. Patrick Corbin pitched in relief in Game 1, so he won't be available at least until Game 4 on Saturday. Sanchez was quietly decent or the Nats this year in 30 starts (3.85 ERA, 1.27 WHIP), […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable For Week 8

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 8 against the Texans, according to head coach Jon Gruden. The good news for the Raiders is that receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday and could play this Sunday. Jacobs is averaging 5.1 yards per carry this year and […]

Kyler Murray Taking Care Of The Football

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray has the 12th lowest interception percentage in the NFL and yes yet to lose a fumble in his rookie season. Murray has gone three straight games without a turnover, and the Cardinals offense only has four giveaways on the year. He has 121 rushing/passing attempts in the last three […]

Christian Kirk Limited On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday after missing the last three games with a high ankle sprain. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Kirk has made steady progress. Kirk will slide back into No. 2 duties behind Larry Fitzgerald if he returns, but that's entirely up in the […]

Ryan Succop Designated To Return

The Tennessee Titans designated kicker Ryan Succop (knee), who was put on Injured Reserve before the season opener, to return from IR later this year. He'll be allowed to resume practicing with the team, but he won't be eligible to play until Week 9 against the Panthers. Cody Parkey has been with the team the […]

Sammy Watkins On Track To Return

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Watkins hasn't played since Sept. 29 against the Lions, but it's looking like he has a good chance to return this weekend in a Sunday night showdown with the Packers. However, the 26-year-old's fantasy ceiling will be lower than usual […]

Jimmy Butler To Miss Wednesday’s Season Opener

The Jimmy Butler Era in Miami will have to wait to begin following the news that Butler will sit for Wednesday’s contest against the Memphis Grizzlies due to personal reasons. There has been little by the way of heads up that Butler could potentially miss the contest, but his absence -- along with that of […]

Josh Gordon Thinks He's Close To Returning

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, thinks that he's close to returning to play, according to a source. The Patriots will likely release him at this point, but he could be available to other teams as a free agent soon. It's a peculiar decision, but […]

Davante Adams Could Be Game-Time Decision

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Davante Adams' (toe) Week 8 status against the Chiefs could go right up until game time on Sunday night. Adams was stretching with the team on Wednesday for the first time since his injury in Week 4, but it won't guarantee that he's active […]

Malcolm Brown Missing Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Brown sat out in Week 7 and doesn't appear to be any closer to returning for this week's contest against the Bengals. Todd Gurley returned from his one-game absence last weekend but was spelled often by rookie Darrell Henderson in a blowout […]

Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Sidelined

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) all missed practice on Wednesday. All three players sat out in Week 7 against the Bears and are off to a bad start this week. The Saints have a bye in Week 9, so they could […]

Philip Rivers Will Have Russell Okung In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung (heart) will play in Week 8 against the Bears, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Okung has been out all year while recovering from a pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots. He returned to practice last week. Okung will be available this Sunday, but Lynn cautioned that he […]

O.J. Howard On Week 8 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It's a little odd with the Buccaneers coming off their bye. Howard has been one of the biggest fantasy busts at his position this year in the first year with Bruce Arians as head coach. They've vowed to […]

Chris Herndon IV Limited Wednesday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Herndon has yet to make his season debut due to a suspension and most recently his hamstring injury. But it looks like he's getting closer to seeing the field, and Week 8 against the Jaguars could be it. Quarterback Sam […]

Sam Darnold To Be Limited Wednesday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) will be limited in practice on Wednesday because of a toe injury he suffered in Monday's blowout loss to the Patriots. Darnold was awful against New England (four interceptions) and admitted to "seeing ghosts" while being mic'ed up for the game. He […]

DeSean Jackson Not Practicing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday. Jackson hasn't played since Week 2 and although he's been making progress in recent weeks, he doesn't appear any closer to getting back on the field. He'll need to practice either Thursday or Friday to have a shot at playing this Sunday against […]
