Drake Maye Limited As Week 18 Prep Begins

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (right hand) was limited during Wednesday's practice. The rookie reportedly injured one of his fingers during last Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Maye is expected to recover in time for Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, and he's in line to start after head coach Jerod Mayo […]

Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk Absent From Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receivers Kayshon Boutte (illness) and Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Boutte has been heavily involved lately, commanding 23 targets over his last four games. His absence from practice is concerning, but the good news is that players are typically able to recover from illnesses within a […]

Colts Hopeful Anthony Richardson Can Play Despite Missing Practice

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (back) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. The second-year quarterback noted that his back injury limited him physically last week, and there were times when he couldn't even walk or stand up. He feels better now, though, and said that he'll do everything in his power to […]

Patrick Mahomes Limited As Week 18 Prep Begins

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was limited during practice on Wednesday. The Chiefs are expected to rest key starters, including Mahomes, in Week 18, so his appearance on the injury report isn't something worth worrying about. In his age-29 season, Mahomes threw for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while leading his […]

Tony Pollard Limited As Week 18 Prep Begins

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed last week's game with a combination of his ankle injury and an illness. His absence allowed Tyjae Spears to take over as Tennessee's starter, but Spears picked up a concussion mid-game, forcing the Titans to rely on […]

Nick Folk Estimated As Non-Participant Wednesday

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. The veteran kicker has missed two consecutive games due to injury and now faces an uphill battle to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Houston Texans. It's an unfortunate ending to what had been an otherwise solid season for […]

Titans Estimate Tyler Boyd As Non-Participant Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. Boyd has made frequent appearances on the injury report this season, but he hasn't missed a game yet. The 30-year-old has consistently operated as the Titans' No. 3 receiver, totaling 39 catches for 390 yards through 16 games. He's […]

Tyjae Spears Estimated As DNP On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Head coach Brian Callahan previously said that Spears would not play in Week 18, and Wednesday's injury report reflects that sentiment. The 23-year-old has flourished over his last three games, totaling 127 rushing yards, 134 receiving yards, and four […]

Noah Clowney Suffers A Back Injury Versus Toronto

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (back) exited Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Raptors after taking a fall. He did not return. The 20-year-old has played well this season, averaging 8.9 points and 39.1% shooting from deep in 23 games, although he's been more productive in his five starts. Hopefully, the injury isn't anything serious. But […]

Anthony Davis Uncertain For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised considering Davis is a regular on the injury report. To be fair, Davis hasn't missed a game since early November, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. It's worth noting […]

Hunter Henry Starts The Week Limited

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) logged a limited session in the team's first practice of the week. Henry hurt his foot in Week 17's blowout loss -- a 40-7 rout against his former team, the Los Angeles Chargers. He commanded just two targets and participated in only 30 snaps in the loss. […]

Jae Crowder Is Active On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Jae Crowder (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Crowder hasn't seen the court much lately, but he has also been dealing with a back injury. He has been cleared to play on Wednesday, but that doesn't guarantee that Crowder is actually going to see time on the […]

Kyle Lowry Starting On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran guard is returning after missing their last contest due to hip soreness. The expectation is that Lowry is going to see a bigger role with Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) unavailable. That also means, Eric […]

Eric Gordon Available On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Eric Gordon (face) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Gordon is back in the mix after missing each of the last four games after having surgery on his mouth. Normally, Gordon's status isn't noteworthy, but he should see an expanded role with Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) unavailable on […]

P.J. Washington Exits Early On Wednesday Night, Won't Return

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) exited Wednesday night's game early and will not return. The team is stating that Washington exited with a right knee sprain. The 26-year-old missed time earlier this season with a knee issue so experiencing another knee injury should be a cause for concern for fantasy managers. With Dallas already […]

Ameer Abdullah Picks Up DNP On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (foot) was listed as a non-participant to kick off this week of practice. The 31-year-old produced the best rushing total of his career in Sunday's 25-10 win against the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, Abdullah sustained a foot injury early in the fourth quarter, or he'd have had an […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Ruled Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Oubre was listed as questionable coming into the game, but has now been downgraded to out. The expectation is that the Sixers will use a committee approach to fill the void. Both Reggie Jackson and Caleb […]

Andre Drummond Active Wednesday Against Kings

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is active for Wednesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. Drummond is dealing with a left toe sprain but will be able to fight it out. With Joel Embiid inactive, expect Drummond to make an impact on the boards. It will be off the bench, though, as Philadelphia is […]

Jaden Ivey Leaves Game Early On Wednesday Night, Stretchered To Locker Room

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey suffered a gruesome looking leg injury in Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Ivey injured his left leg when Magic guard Cole Anthony dove for a loose ball. Ivey went down immediately and was in obvious pain as the game came to a pause. The 22-year-old was stretchered to […]

Tee Higgins Logs Another Limited Session

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day ahead of his team's road meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Clemson product has been dealing with knee and ankle injuries for a few weeks now, though it hasn't stopped him from being effective on the […]

Joe Burrow Limited Again Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist, knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's team practice. This has been the veteran's routine for a few weeks now -- logging a limited session or two since picking up a knee injury in Cincinnati's win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14. Fortunately, it hasn't forced […]

Khris Middleton Probable Heading Into Thursday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is listed as probable heading into Thursday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Middleton's been recovering from ankle surgery and has been able to play in each of Milwaukee's last 11 games, including the NBA Cup championship. He's averaged 13.8 PPG on the season, though that's picked up over […]

AJ Green Listed As Questionable For Thursday Night

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Green is dealing with a lower back contusion that may cause him to miss just his second game of the season. The 25-year-old has been a sporadic fantasy option this season, averaging just 7.7 PPG this season […]

Mets, Pete Alonso Remain Apart On Length Of Potential Contract

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the New York Mets and free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso remain apart on the potential length of his new contract. Heyman noted that, "I do think the years are the hang-up right now," when discussing the current state of their negotiations. While they may be on […]
