Rodney McGruder Won't Suit Up on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He'll miss the first two games of the season due to an ankle issue. Fantasy owners can consider him questionable for Saturday, but he doesn't have much practice time between then, so we'll see. Maurice Harkless and […]

Fred VanVleet Will Remain Starter

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet will remain the starting shooting guard for the moment, according to head coach Nick Nurse. VanVleet scored 34 points in the season opener, so it's not surprising that the Raptors are sticking with him. Normal Powell could draw some starts in the future, but VanVleet is the better fantasy option. […]

Cody Zeller Doesn't Attend Thursday's Practice

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (personal) did not attend Thursday's practice and it's unclear if he'll be ready for Friday's game against the Timberwolves. The exact reason why Zeller was not at practice is unknown, so it's difficult to know if he'll be ready for Friday. Willy Hernangomez is likely to start on Friday, assuming […]

Rex Burkhead Continues Limited Status

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) remained limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Burkhead hasn't played since Week 4 and is third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White whenever he is active. Unless an injury occurs ahead of him, Burkhead is a low-upside, […]

Markieff Morris Could Sit Out on Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was dealing with back pain on Wednesday, but played through the issue. Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) is sidelined, so Morris is expected to start once again. He could be a risky option, while a little banged up […]

Sam Darnold Gets In Full Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Darnold injured his toe (and his feelings) in the pathetic loss to the Patriots on Monday night in which he admitted to "seeing ghosts" on the sidelines. He will play against the Jaguars this weekend […]

Reggie Jackson Should Play on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Jackson was playing at less than 100 percent during Wednesday's season opener. He wasn't able to do much during his 20 minutes, but was fighting through back pain. He's a risky DFS option on Thursday, even if he […]

Jamison Crowder Added To Week 8 Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (knee) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Jaguars and was limited in practice on Thursday. Crowder should be able to play this weekend unless he misses practice on Friday. The Jets offense was a disaster on Monday night in the blowout loss to the […]

Mitchell Robinson is Active in Thursday's Practice

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle, finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Head coach David Fizdale said along with his ankle injury that forced Robinson out of Wednesday's game, he's dealing with a finger injury too. He's listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nets. It depends on how much progress […]

Denzel Ward, Greedy Williams On Track To Return

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) were both practicing in full on Thursday, signaling that they'll return in Week 8 against the Patriots after sitting out since Week 2. It's good news for Cleveland's secondary as they try to spring the upset on the undefeated Patriots on the road. New England's […]

Patriots Defense Will Be Top Play Against Browns

The New England Patriots Defense has emerged as the dominant unit in the NFL and now will have a juicy matchup against the turnover-prone Browns in Week 8. The Patriots already have 15 interceptions on the season and now will go up against a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who has thrown 11 interceptions in only […]

T.J. Warren is Able to Practice Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (hip) was able to practice on Thursday and said he'll be ready to play against the Cavaliers on Saturday. He suffered a bruised right hip during Wednesday's opener, but the injury doesn't appear to be serious. More information should be available on Saturday, but it sounds like Warren will be […]

Victor Oladipo Goes Through Full Contact on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (quadriceps) was able to through some full-contact, five-on-five work on Thursday. He's making solid progress but won't be re-evaluated for another month. The Pacers are going to be cautious with their star guard. He's worth stashing in leagues with an IR spot available.

Phillip Dorsett Limited At Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday and could be listed as questionable heading into Week 8. Dorsett has been battling the injury for a few weeks but still managed to rack up 46 yards with one touchdown in Week 7. The Patriots will face a Browns Defense […]

Nicolas Batum Expected to Miss A Month

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (finger) suffered an injury during Wednesday's season opener and will be sidelined for a few weeks. He suffered a fractured finger and is expected to miss three to four weeks of action. PJ Washington played well in the opener and should get a boost from this. Batum was already a […]

Checkout our most recent prospects rankings articles and analysis: Top 50 Redraft Prospects for 2020 and Top 250 Dynasty Prospects Looking ahead, the 2020 wave of MLB rookies should be much more pitching heavy than it was last year as numerous key hitters made their debuts in 2019, such as Peter Alonso, Yordan Alvarez, Fernando Tatis Jr., […]

Julian Edelman Carries WR2 Value Against Browns

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman should be front and center in the passing game in Week 8 against the Browns. The Browns Defense has allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to receivers this season, but Edelman has been as steady as they come. The veteran receiver has been excellent the past three games, […]

Parris Campbell Has Chance To Return This Week

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Campbell has been out since Week 4, but he has a realistic shot to suit up in Week 8 against the Broncos. With T.Y. Hilton firmly entrenched as the No. 1 receiver and with Zach Pascal stepping […]

Enes Kanter Ruled Out Against Raptors

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kanter is dealing with a left knee contusion that he suffered during Wednesday's season opener. He's considered day-to-day, so this shouldn't be something that bothers him long-term. Daniel Theis and Robert Williams will see increased playing time without […]

Jets Open To Trading Robby Anderson

The New York Jets have made it clear to other teams that wide receiver Robby Anderson is available before the Oct. 29 trade deadline for the right price, according to sources. The Jets are looking to add 2020 draft capital in the midst of another lost season. The Eagles had interest in Anderson last year, […]

James White Should Be Useful In Passing Game

New England Patriots running back James White has racked up 30 receptions over his last four games heading into Week 8. The Patriots wide receiving group has been hit by the injury-bug and quarterback Tom Brady could continue to lean on the veteran White to move the chains. White will go up against a Browns […]

Sony Michel's Arrow Is Pointing Up

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will have a juicy matchup against the Browns in Week 8. Michel is coming off of a three-touchdown performance against the Jets and now has six scores on the season. The second-year back will go up against a Browns Defense that is allowing the seventh most fantasy points […]

Tom Brady Has Favorable Week 8 Matchup

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a positive matchup against a Browns Defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing passers in Week 8. Brady has only four touchdown passes (plus two rushing scores) over his last four games but will face a Browns secondary that has allowed multiple touchdowns […]

Yankees Unsure Of Jacoby Ellsbury's Status

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (hip) is "not in a position health-wise" for the team to know if he's a realistic option for the 2020 season. Ellsbury has battled a wide range of injuries and hasn't played for the Yankees in the last two seasons. There will obviously […]

Latavius Murray Could Have Huge Workload In Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was magnificent last week filling in for injured starter Alvin Kamara (ankle) against the Chicago Bears. The 29-year-old ran for 119 yards on a career-high 27 rushing attempts, added 31 receiving yards and had two touchdowns. Murray could be looking at another large workload against the Arizona Cardinals, […]

Bears Defense Searching For Answers

The Chicago Bears Defense will try and snap out of their slump against the Chargers in Week 8. The vaunted unit has been struggling, recording only one sack over their last two games. They also have now allowed 100-yard rushing games to back-to-back running backs and the unit is being heavily taxed as the Bears […]

C.J. Mosley Not Over His Injury

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin), who returned last Monday night for the first time since the season opener, didn't look right in his return. Head coach Adam Gase said the team will do a "deep dive" to see what exactly is wrong with Mosley's groin. It doesn't sound promising that he'll be on […]

Trey Burton Lacks Fantasy Appeal In Week 8

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton will go up against a Chargers Defense that is allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. Burton has been non-existent this season on offense and has only 13 receptions all season. He has failed to find the end zone and will face a Chargers defense […]

Patrick Mahomes Works With Second Team Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) worked with the second-team offense on Thursday and looked to be moving around better. Mahomes has been pretty limited the last two days of practice. While he's making great progress from a dislocated kneecap a week ago, the odds are still slim that he plays on Sunday night […]

Taylor Gabriel Hopes To Bounce Back In Week 8

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel will try and bounce back against the Chargers in Week 8. Gabriel enjoyed a fantastic first half of football in Week 3 with three touchdowns but has missed time with a concussion. He returned to action last week but caught only one pass for six yards on two targets. […]
