Rasheen Ali Opens His Practice Window

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Rasheen Ali (neck) was set to return to practice on Thursday, which opened his 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve. The fifth-round selection made the 53-man roster out of training camp but was moved to IR due to a neck injury in Week 1. Ali wasn't exactly wowing […]

Is Evan Engram Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram's 2023 season and the start to his 2024 season are opposites. He was the TE2 in full-PPR scoring formats last season, playing in all 17 regular-season games and leading the league in targets for a tight end. He was stellar. This season, he's played in only one game and […]

Tyler Badie Could Land On Injured Reserve

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, and head coach Sean Payton said on Wednesday that could "possibly" be a candidate to go on Injured Reserve, which would cost him at least four games. Badie injured his back in the Week 4 win over […]

49ers Say Ricky Pearsall "Is Really Close"

The San Francisco 49ers are not opening the practice window for rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (chest) this week, but it won't be long until they do. "I know he is really close," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters. "When he's good to go, we'll be pumped to have him back. Ricky is a hell […]

Kendrick Bourne Limited In Practice, "Feels Good"

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder) missed his second straight day of practice. Bourne, who is still on the Physically Unable to Perform list, said he "feels good" and that his knee has responded well to […]

Is T.J. Hockenson Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson's presence is sorely missed by fantasy managers and SKOL country alike. He has top-5 finishes in PPR fantasy points despite picking up a season-ending injury in Week 16 of 2023 and also missing the last two games. Hockenson is a beast. He's one of the best receiving tight ends […]

Is Trey McBride Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is a good player. He's a good tight end. That's a huge statement considering the state of tight ends today. He's good, though, and he can score a lot of fantasy points. That shouldn't be possible since the NFL hates them now, but it is. This means fantasy managers […]

Jaylen Warren, Cordarrelle Patterson Miss Thursday's Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) were both unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. Warren is on the verge of missing his second straight week due to a lingering knee issue. There's still a chance he practices on Friday, but Warren is trending in the wrong direction. Patterson has […]

Russell Wilson Limited During Thursday's Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. This is back-to-back limited practices for Wilson as he ramps up his football activities. The organization is hopeful that Wilson will be cleared to return to game action soon. Justin Fields has already been named the starter for […]

Is Taysom Hill Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill is coming off his biggest game of the season in Week 4. He didn't get production in the usual tight-end fashion, though. He had six carries for 24 yards and two touchdowns, but zero receptions. Hill is an all-around weapon for the Saints but has been almost exclusively […]

Raheem Mostert Limited On Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (chest) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back limited practice sessions for Mostert who looks to get back on the field for the first time since Week 1. It seems like the veteran back is trending in the right direction ahead of the Week […]

Drake London Returns On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (head) is back on the field following a brief absence during Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The young wideout was forced to exit early in the second quarter due to a head injury. London went to the locker room, but it appears he was cleared of a […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle Land On Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys running backs Ezekiel Elliott (dehydration) and Rico Dowdle (wrist) both popped up on the injury report on Thursday. Elliott was limited due to dehydration, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect that to be an issue heading into Week 5 on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dowdle is dealing with a wrist issue but […]

Zach Charbonnet - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks running back situation is pretty simple -- if lead RB Kenneth Walker III plays, you start him and you sit backup Zach Charbonnet (outside of deeper leagues). Charb's value when Walker plays is mostly through his passing work, which to his […]

Freddie Freeman Doesn't Play Defense In Simulated Game

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) hit during the team's simulated game on Thursday, but he didn't play first base. Freeman was injured last week against the San Diego Padres and was held out of the final series against the Colorado Rockies as a precaution. It has helped that the Dodgers had a […]

Tank Dell - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had a fantastic 2023 before breaking his leg. That and an unfortunate incident where he was shot in the offseason didn't help his start to 2024, and those significant injuries are likely still affecting him. The whole Texans offense has been mildly […]

Will Levis Should Return After Bye Week

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) is expected to get back on the field and suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Levis suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during the Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Luckily, the injury is not considered long term and Levis should […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will be the presumptive lead WR for the Raiders in Week 5 when they face the Denver Broncos. That's the problem (the Denver part, not the lead WR part). The Broncos are a brutal defense for opposing wide receivers in fantasy […]

Dodgers Swapping Jack Flaherty, Yoshinobu Yamamoto For First Two Games Of NLDS

The Los Angeles Dodgers originally announced right-hander Jack Flaherty for Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday at Dodger Stadium against the division-rival San Diego Padres, with right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto going in Game 2 on Sunday. However, they have swapped the order, with Yamamoto now going in the series opener on Saturday […]

Najee Harris - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is the least exciting player to start in fantasy football who can still get you some points. He averages just 3.35 yards per carry on the season, but Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith doesn't care. He will use […]

Drake London Uncertain To Return

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (head) is currently considered questionable to return for Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The young wideout is being evaluated for a head injury that he suffered during the second quarter of Thursday's game. The Falcons will likely test to see if London has a concussion. Fantasy managers […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are not a team against whom you want to start a running back who's averaging 3.9 yards per carry and has less than 40 PPR fantasy points on the season. Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle didn't earn starter reps until his team decided it […]

Is Kareem Hunt Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt hasn't been on the team for very long but has already seemingly earned a big role in the offense. After rookie back Carson Steele fumbled the ball for the second time in the last two games, Hunt took over as the lead back, and Steele only had one […]

Braelon Allen - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It's too easy to get swept up in the "He's gonna take over the backfield, he's better than the starter" narratives, but don't let it happen. Especially not before an international game against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The New York Jets will take on […]

Is Nick Chubb Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome and devastating injury in Week 2 of 2023. The second-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler was off to what seemed like another great season before it all went wrong. Many have seen Chubb's injury video, and we won't post it again here. The stud RB hasn't […]

Nick Chubb Feeling Good After Return To Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) said that his surgically repaired left knee is feeling good after his first practice in more than a year on Wednesday in which he was limited. Chubb was limited again on Thursday, but he's unsure when he'll come off the Physically Unable to Perform list to make his […]

David Njoku Gets The Day Off Thursday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) did not take part in practice on Thursday, but it was part of a planned day off. Njoku suffered an ankle injury in the Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and hasn't played since, but he was limited in Wednesday's session and figures to return to the […]

Noah Brown Misses Thursday's Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (groin) was unable to practice on Thursday, which was a downgrade after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Mid-week downgrades are never usually a good thing, so Brown's status for the Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday is now up […]
