Shohei Ohtani Won't Pitch In World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow) will not pitch in the World Series against the New York Yankees, which starts on Friday at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani was never expected to pitch in 2024 after having right-elbow surgery, even after starting a throwing program before the regular season ended. The 30-year-old Japanese All-Star will […]

Jayden Reed, Christian Watson Limited On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) were both limited during Thursday's practice. Both players head into Week 8 with injuries, but luckily they aren't considered to be major issues. Reed has been reliable throughout most of the season, but is coming off his worst performance of the season. He […]

Will Dissly Misses Another Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was sidelined for the second straight day during practice. This is not good to see after Dissly's eight-catch performance in Week 7. Now, Dissly is in danger of missing Week 8 after back-to-back absences. If active, Dissly sneaks onto the TE2 radar against the New Orleans Saints. […]

Jakobi Meyers Absent During Thursday's Practice

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice session. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, but didn't practice at all on Thursday. It's possible that it was a rest day for Meyers, but that was not confirmed. This doesn't look good considering Meyers hasn't played in two weeks due to […]

Will Levis Limited Once Again

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice session. Levis continues to deal with an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 4. It's worth noting that the issue is on his throwing shoulder, which could explain his poor play in Week 6. Mason Rudolph started last week and was able […]

Tyjae Spears Remains Limited On Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The organization is hopeful that Spears can get back on the field this week after sitting out in Week 7. If healthy, Spears figures to continue being the primary backup to Tony Pollard. Spears has struggled with only one game […]

Calvin Ridley Misses Thursday's Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) was absent during Thursday's practice session. This could put the Titans in a bad spot heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They traded veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins and fellow receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve. The absence of Ridley […]

Jaylen Waddle Limited Again On Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Waddle could pick up a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report, but he seems to be on the right side of questionable for Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Tyreek Hill […]

Tua Tagovailoa Upgrades To Full Practice On Thursday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. As a full practice participant, Tagovailoa can now meet with an independent neurological consultant for full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol before Sunday's Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, Tyler Huntley (shoulder) […]

Noah Fant Limited Again On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) stayed limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Fant should be fine to play this Sunday against the visiting Buffalo Bills and could once again see increased targets if top wideout DK Metcalf (knee) is unable to suit up. The 26-year-old tight end […]

Kenneth Walker III Back At Practice On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness) returned to practice on Thursday in a limited showing after being listed as a DNP on Wednesday with an illness that cropped up last weekend. Walker was listed as questionable in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons but played and saw 14 carries for 69 yards and […]

Jake Moody Still Not Practicing With Niners

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday due to a right-ankle sprain. The 49ers have already ruled Moody out for the Week 8 contest on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The team has a bye upcoming in Week 9, so hopefully Moody will […]

Jordan Mason Stays Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) put in a second straight limited practice this week on Thursday. Mason suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder in Week 6 but was active for the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, handling 14 carries for 58 yards while catching both his […]

Jauan Jennings Doesn't Return To Practice Field

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jennings missed his first game of the year in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is now trending toward missing a second straight game this Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys unless […]

George Kittle Returns To Limited Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice session after he was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a foot sprain. Kittle's status bears watching on Friday, but the fact that he returned to practice on Thursday means he's trending in […]

Deebo Samuel Sr. Puts In A Limited Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness, wrist) returned to the practice field on Thursday and was listed as limited after being listed as a DNP on Wednesday. Receiver Chris Conley (ankle) was also limited for the second straight day. Samuel put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 7 […]

Bucky Irving Trending Well

The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud reports that although Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (toe) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, he's trending well. The next two days will be crucial for Irving when it comes to his status for the Week 8 divisional game against the […]

Josh Downs - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is a great pass-catcher. We could rave about his route-running prowess, short-area quickness and dominance from the slot, but we're recommending you sit him, so we won't. This is because his current starting quarterback, Anthony Richardson, has played terribly in 2024. I […]

Ja'Kobe Walter To Sit Out On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately, Raptors fans will have to wait a little longer before their first-round pick can take the court. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, but the Raptors aren't going to take any chances with their young […]

Puka Nacua Officially Active Against Vikings

The Los Angeles Rams activated wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) from Injured Reserve earlier on Thursday, and now he is officially active for the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings. Nacua suffered a right PCL sprain in the season opener and was listed as questionable for Week 8. The Vikings defense has allowed the […]

Sam Hauser Won't Play Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day and now he'll sit out due to a lower back issue. The injury isn't considered to be serious, so Hauser should be back in the mix within a […]

Taysom Hill Upgrades To Full Practice Session

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (rib) has a realistic chance to play in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday after upgrading to a full practice session on Thursday. Hill was listed as limited on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Juwan Johnson (shoulder) was limited for the second straight day on Thursday. Hill fractured […]

Tank Dell - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been one of the worst players to own in fantasy football this year. Players who were drafted highly in fantasy drafts but put up dud after dud can sink teams -- their past production keeps making you think you should start […]

Alvin Kamara Stays Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand, rib) put in a second straight day with a limited practice this week on Thursday. Kamara is battling through both a broken hand and broken ribs, but he remarkably hasn't missed any time in 2024. He's the RB2 in half-PPR scoring heading into Week 8, although he […]

Tyler Lockett - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will face a very tough assignment in Week 8 when he takes on the Buffalo Bills. They're one of the best defenses in the league against outside receivers, and if fellow WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba primarily plays out […]

Chris Olave Logs Full Practice

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Olave suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then missed last Thursday night's loss to the Denver Broncos. The 24-year-old is […]

Kelly Olynyk Unavailable On Friday

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row due to back stiffness.
