Jimmy Graham Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (finger) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The 32-year-old should be just fine for a divisional showdown at home in Week 2 against the Vikings. Graham caught three of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the opener last Thursday. He's no longer the […]

Tyler Lockett Does Not Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (back) was among those that didn't practice on Wednesday. Lockett is Seattle's No. 1 wideout, but he caught just one pass on only two targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. That's not the kind of volume his fantasy owners were hoping for as their WR2, […]

Game Script Could Impact Josh Jacobs This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had an outstanding NFL debut Monday, and he will look to keep the momentum going in Week 2 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The first-round rookie was used as the bell cow in Week 1, and Head Coach Jon Gruden already emphasized his workload is going to continue on […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Limited Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and running back James Conner (illness) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine, barring a setback, to play in Week 2 at home against the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster is a must-start WR1 every time he's active, while Conner is a low-end RB1 if he's […]

Derek Carr A Viable Week 2 Streamer

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a juicy matchup versus the susceptible Chiefs Defense in Week 2, making him a viable streamer and DFS option this week. Carr is coming off a stellar game where he connected on 22-of-26 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown versus a stout Denver defense. Kansas City gave up […]

J.J. Nelson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. He's still recovering from a sprained ankle from Week 2 in the preseason that resulted in him seeing only eight snaps in the regular season opener on Monday. Nelson is WR2 on the team's depth chart, but he won't be […]

Matthew Stafford Among Intriguing Week 2 QB Options

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, coming off a 385-yard, three-touchdown performance against Arizona on Sunday, could find himself in another favorable matchup this coming week with the Los Angeles Chargers coming to town. It's highly unlikely Stafford consistently attempts 45-plus passes per game going forward, as he has surpassed the 43-pass mark just five times […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Sitting Out Wednesday Night

Washington Nationals second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera is out of the lineup on Wednesday night against the Twins. Cabrera will get the night off, but he has been heating up at the plate lately with a .359/.419/.590 slash line with two home runs and 13 RBI over his last 10 games. Brian Dozier will get the […]

Justin Smoak Gets the Day Off Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The Jays are having Smoak and Rowdy Tellez basically split time at this point in the season. Tellez will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus lefty Bobby Poyner. Tellez has […]

Michael Conforto Sits Out Against Lefty

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Conforto will get a rest day here against the left-handed starter. Juan Lagares will draw the start in center field and bat eighth versus lefty Robbie Ray. Lagares has three hits in nine at-bats this […]

Kevin Kiermaier, Avisail Garcia Out Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Kevin Kiermaier (neck) and Avisail Garcia (glute) are out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Kiermaier hasn't played since Sunday due to neck spasms. Garcia is sidelined due to a glute strain that he suffered on Tuesday. Kean Wong will bat seventh and play right field […]

Mike Moustakas Returns to the Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. This is the first time that Moustakas has been in the lineup in over a week. He'll bat third and play third base versus righty Pablo Lopez. DFS players may want to wait and see […]

Hunter Dozier Will Rest on Wednesday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a rare off day for Dozier, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Cheslor Cuthbert will bat seventh and play third base versus righty Reynaldo Lopez. […]

Starling Marte Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Marte sprained his wrist on Sunday and hasn't been in the starting lineup since then. He's come off the bench a few times, but hasn't been able to draw any starts in the outfield. Kevin […]

Ramon Laureano Returns to the Lineup on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. Laureano suffered some cramping on Saturday and sat out the last few games. However, it appears to be a minor issue and he'll suit up for this one. Laureano will bat seventh and play right field […]

Eric Sogard is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Eric Sogard (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Sogard hasn't been in the lineup since he took a foul ball to the leg on Friday. It sounds like a minor issue, so hopefully he can get back in the lineup within the […]

Mike Trout is Out Once Again

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Trout continues to recover from a cryoablation procedure he had done because of his minor foot injury. The Angels are hopeful that they can get Trout back by this weekend. Brian Goodwin will bat leadoff […]

Logan Forsythe is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Texas Rangers infielder Logan Forsythe (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Forsythe was a late scratch from Tuesday's game due to intercostal muscle tightness. It's unclear how long Forsythe is going to be sidelined at the moment. Nick Solak will draw the start at third base […]

Stephen Strasburg In a Tough Spot Wednesday

Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will be tested on Wednesday in a road start against the Minnesota Twins. The Twins remain one of the most powerful lineups in all of baseball, and Strasburg will have to face a designated hitter instead of the opposing pitcher in the lineup. Still, he remains a must-start due to […]

Yuli Gurriel Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Gurriel is dealing with hamstring soreness and hasn't played in a game since being removed during Friday's contest. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start at first base and bat sixth versus lefty Brett Anderson. Diaz […]

Robbie Ray Has Favorable Matchup

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray has a very good chance to post a quality start on Wednesday in a start against the New York Mets. Ray left his last start with a blister on his finger, but has been deemed healthy enough to start. The southpaw will see a ballpark upgrade pitching at Citi Field […]

Nick Senzel Remains Sidelined Against Mariners

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Senzel has not been in the starting lineup since September 7 due to a shoulder issue. Phillip Ervin will bat sixth and play center field versus lefty Marco Gonzales. Ervin has been in a bit of […]

Zack Wheeler Earns Win Tuesday

New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler was excellent on Tuesday in a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wheeler threw seven innings, allowing just one run on seven hits to go along with seven strikeouts. It was Wheeler's 11th win of the season and he lowered his ERA to 4.21 in the process. The righty is […]

Justin Upton is Absent on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. Taylor Ward will draw the start in left field and bat sixth versus righty Adam Plutko. Ward has two hits in the last […]

Eduardo Escobar Leaves the Yard Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday in a loss to the New York Mets. Escobar's homer was his 34th of the season to go along with an eye-popping 112 RBI. This is clearly the veteran's best season of his career, and as long as […]

Zac Gallen Posts Another Quality Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen was brilliant again on Tuesday in a tough-luck loss to the New York Mets. Gallen threw six innings, allowing three runs on five hits to go along with nine strikeouts. The rookie's stuff was so good that he struck out the Mets' Jeff McNeil in all three of his first […]

Justin Dunn Will Debut on Thursday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn will make his major league debut against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Dunn was acquired by Seattle in the deal that sent Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to the Mets. He's not expected to work a full starters workload, so he'll likely only pitch a few innings. Dunn won't […]

Cowboys Still Easing Ezekiel Elliott In?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott said he thinks he's "ready now for a normal workload" heading into Week 2 against the Redskins, but head coach Jason Garrett pumped the breaks on that a bit. Garrett said the team will be mindful of how little practice time Elliott had this summer because of his holdout. […]

Eric Weddle On Track For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects safety Eric Weddle (head) to be ready for Week 2 against the Saints. Weddle took a knee to the helmet from Christian McCaffrey in the season opener and missed the rest of the game. The Rams certainly need Weddle's help in the secondary with Drew Brees and […]

Jets Defense Dealing With Multiple Injuries

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) are both making good progress despite not practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Adam Gase. “It’s giving us hope with both those guys,” Gase said. “There’s a still a chance for those guys to play on Monday.” Safety Jamal Adams […]
