Cole Hamels Will Start on Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels (shoulder) will make one more start for the team on Saturday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Hamels did not make his last start due to shoulder fatigue. Hamels is 7-7 with a 3.92 ERA in 26 starts for the Cubs this season. He's set to become a free agent […]

Albert Wilson Expects To Return In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) is expecting to return in Week 4 against the Chargers. Wilson has returned to limited practices this week and said he feels "really good, ready to go." He should return to become the slot man inside next to Devante Parker and rookie Preston Williams. Wilson averaged 56 yards […]

Josh Doctson Targeting Nov. 10 Return

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Josh Doctson (hamstring), who is currently on Injured Reserve, is targeting a Nov. 10 return at the Cowboys, which is the first game he's eligible to return for. Doctson could take Laquon Treadwell's spot as the No. 3 wideout on the roster, but there are no guarantees. He does have familiarity […]

Kyle Rudolph Expects Vikes To Remain Run-First Team

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph thinks what we've seen from them in the first three games is what they will continue to be throughout the 2019 season. "That’s the kind of offense that coach Mike Zimmer wants to have, that’s the kind of mentality that we’ve had success with in the past. We run […]

Ito Smith In Non-Contact Jersey

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (concussion) is practicing and returning kicks in a non-contact jersey on Thursday. While Smith might not be completely cleared from the league's concussion protocol, he's at least making some good progress and has a real shot to back up Devonta Freeman in the backfield in Week 4 against the […]

Damiere Byrd Not Practicing Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd (hamstring) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Byrd has been surprisingly effective as the team's third wideout behind Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk, but he has yet to find the end zone. He's merely a dart throw flex play in deeper leagues when he's active, […]

Tyler Higbee On Track To Play Against Bucs

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) is on track to play in Week 4 against the Buccaneers. It means that Gerald Everett will likely go back to backup duties. In an offense with a ton of playmakers already, the Rams very rarely use the tight end position […]

Danny Amendola Out Again Thursday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (chest) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Amendola's status for this Sunday against the Chiefs is seriously in doubt unless he returns to practice on Friday. If he were to play, Amendola would have deep sleeper appeal as a WR4/flex in a game that will certainly […]

Vance McDonald Sits Out Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. Also sitting out was cornerback Joe Haden (shoulder). McDonald is suffering from an AC sprain, but the Steelers are optimistic his injury isn't a long-term concern. It doesn't mean he won't miss this Monday's tilt with the Bengals, however. He'll likely be questionable […]

Mark Andrews Misses Practice Again

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot), who leads the team with 19 catches through three weeks, missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's played through the foot injury and has been productive the last two weeks, but his absences this week leave his status for Week 4 against the Browns in question. It's […]

Delanie Walker Misses Practice Again Thursday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. If Walker doesn't practice again on Friday, he'd be in serious danger of missing Week 4 against the Falcons. Tennessee's passing offense is among the worst in the NFL, but Walker has always been quarterback Marcus Mariota's favorite target, […]

Terry McLaurin Pops Up On Injury Report

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) was limited with a hamstring injury in practice on Thursday, and it's unclear if it will have a lingering impact moving forward. It's not ideal, but as long as the rookie practices again on Friday, he should suit up in Week 4 in an ideal matchup against […]

T.Y. Hilton, Darius Leonard Out For Second Straight Day

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) and All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) were out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hilton could still play in Week 4 against the Raiders, but we'd feel a lot better about keeping him in our lineups if he got in some work at practice on […]

Amari Cooper Limited Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday. Cooper had a precautionary MRI on his ankle this week that came back negative. The Cowboys are rightfully playing it safe with their No. 1 receiver, but he should be fine for Sunday night against the Saints in the Superdome. Cooper's injury […]

Jonathan Schoop Hits Historic 23rd Homer in Win

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in a 10-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon. Schoop's homer goes down as a big milestone as it was Minnesota's 300th dinger of the year, marking the first time an MLB team has ever hit that many in […]

Aristides Aquino Homers, Steals a Base in Loss

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino had a big afternoon in a 5-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. Aquino went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and a steal in the loss to their division rivals. The three-hit day raises Aquino's average to .264 with 18 homers, 30 runs, 46 RBI, and seven steals in […]

Five Ways to Replace Saquon Barkley

After being drafted as the number one pick in so many fantasy football leagues, there really isn't anything more depressing than seeing Saquon Barkley on the sideline in a walking boot and crutches. After being held by the Tampa Bay defense to just 10 yards on eight carries, it was tough to see Barkley come […]

Melvin Gordon Returns: Fantasy Scenarios to Consider

Controversy reigned throughout the preseason during the Melvin Gordon holdout. No one knew if and when it was going to end, and when was exactly the right time to take a shot on him during a fantasy football draft. Ultimately, it did not turn out to be a Le’Veon Bell season-long holdout, but it was […]

Daniel Jones Erupts (That's Nice, Now Do It Again)

It has been a whirlwind six-month run for Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones. He went from being the draft choice that no one wanted in April to a highly praised savior and successor to Eli Manning on Sunday. His impressive performance against Tampa Bay also has stirred a lot of Fantasy interest, but not to […]

Don't Hate Cameron Brate

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was a no-show once again versus the leaky Giants Defense, finishing with seven yards and two receptions. Both Tampa Bay tight ends have been silent to start the season. Head coach Bruce Arians while still with the Cardinals mentioned that he likes to get the ball to his […]

Melvin Gordon Expected To Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has ended his contract holdout and is expected to practice on Thursday, according to a source. If own Gordon, you're stoked. But he won't play in Week 4 against the Dolphins and will likely be eased into a workhorse role starting in Week 5 against the Broncos. Austin […]

Taylor Gabriel Still In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol on Thursday. Head coach Matt Nagy also said that he doesn't think defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (knee) will practice on Thursday. Hicks will likely be a true game-time decision for Week 4 against the Vikings. Gabriel blew up for six catches, 75 yards […]

Case Keenum Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) is not wearing a walking boot and is back at practice on Thursday. Keenum sat out on Wednesday, fueling speculation that either Colt McCoy (leg) or rookie Dwayne Haskins would start in Week 4 against the Giants. Washington's coaching staff wants to keep giving Keenum a shot as the […]

Damien Williams To Miss Practice Again

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) will miss practice again on Thursday. Williams missed the Week 3 game and has yet to practice this week. We'd say he's doubtful to face the Lions in Week 4, but a return to practice on Friday might give him a sliver of hope. Plan on keeping […]

Devin Singletary Doing Some Work Thursday

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is doing warmups at practice on Thursday. It's progress after the rookie sat out in Week 3, but he's still not a lock to return to action in Week 4 in a tough matchup against the Patriots. If Singletary returns to the field this Sunday, he won't […]
