Alshon Jeffery Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 11 against the Patriots. Remove Jeffery from your starting lineups. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) out the rest of the year, the Eagles will now have to get by with some combination of Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins, rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Jordan Matthews […]

Cody Bellinger Named NL MVP

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger was named the National League MVP for the 2019 season on Thursday night. He beat out Christian Yelich, the NL MVP in 2018. The 24-year-old Bellinger hit .305/.406/.629 with 47 home runs and 15 stolen bases in his breakout season, and he became the first Dodgers position player […]

Ty Johnson Slapped With Questionable Tag

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson (concussion) returned to a full practice on Friday but is listed as questionable for Week 11 against the Cowboys. It's still unclear if Johnson has actually cleared the concussion protocol, but it's a good sign that he practiced in full on Friday. This could come down to a game-time […]

Chase Edmonds Will Not Play In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) will not play in Week 11 against the 49ers, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Edmonds was fantasy relevant weeks ago when David Johnson was hurt and before the team traded for Kenyan Drake. The Cardinals will go on their bye in Week 12, and Edmonds will return […]

Le'Veon Bell, Demaryius Thomas Questionable

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee, illness, ribs) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) were both limited in practice the last two days and are questionable for Week 11 against the Redskins. Barring a late setback, both players are fully expected to suit up. Bell has been a disappointment to fantasy owners […]

Edinson Volquez Wants To Keep Playing

The Texas Rangers and pitcher Edinson Volquez are working on a deal now that Volquez has changed his mind on retiring. Volquez made 11 appearances (four starts) for Texas last year and was not effective, posting a 6.75 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 5.6 K/9 in his 16 innings. It's unlikely that he's making starts in […]

Padres Have Interest In Jon Gray

The San Diego Padres have interest in Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray, who is among a select group of controllable starters who could be traded this offseason. The 28-year-old went 11-8 with a 3.84 ERA and 150 strikeouts in 25 starts for the Rockies last season. A broken foot cost him the final month […]

Braves Still Planning To Use Mark Melancon As Closer

The Atlanta Braves are still planning on using relief pitcher Mark Melancon as the closer to start next season, even after signing Will Smith on Thursday. Melancon, who also pitched for the Giants last year before coming over to Atlanta, had a 3.86 ERA and 11 saves in his 23 appearances for the Braves. He […]

Mike Trout Wins MVP, Foot Back To 100 Percent

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot), who won the American League MVP for the third time in his career on Thursday night, said his foot is back to 100 percent after his September surgery. He will start baseball activities soon and should be ready to go for spring training in plenty of time. You […]

Marshon Lattimore Out For Saints Defense

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 11 against the Buccaneers. Lattimore, the team's best cover corner, held Mike Evans to no catches on three targets in their first meeting this year, so this is really good news for Evans' chances of putting up […]

Josh Doctson Activated Off Injured Reserve

The Minnesota Vikings activated wide receiver Josh Doctson (hamstring) off of Injured Reserve on Friday. He'll be available to play in Week 11 against the Broncos. Doctson has some history with quarterback Kirk Cousins from their time in Washington, but it's a long shot that Doctson will be very involved in the offense this weekend, […]

Paul Richardson, Vernon Davis Out Against Jets

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 11 against the Jets. Davis has no timetable for a return. Jeremy Sprinkle hasn't taken advantage of his starting role with both Davis and Jordan Reed (concussion) out for most of the year, and that probably […]

Eagles Plan To Sign Jay Ajayi

The Philadelphia Eagles intend to sign free-agent running back Jay Ajayi after working him out on Friday, according to a source. Ajayi is healthy after tearing his ACL and will be returning to the team that traded for him in 2017. The Eagles want to add some depth behind Jordan Howard, who is dealing with […]

Kenyan Drake, David Johnson To Form Committee Sunday

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury isn't naming a starting running back for Week 11 against the 49ers, and he said it'll be "by committee" between running backs Kenyan Drake and David Johnson. The vagueness and uncertainty of the situation isn't doing fantasy owners any favors, and the Niners defense presents […]

Amari Cooper Says He's Good To Go

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle, knee) said he's good to go for Week 11 against the Lions. Cooper has been limited this week with his injuries. He's been playing at less than 100 percent for most of the season, but his numbers haven't suffered at all and he's a top-10 fantasy wideout without […]

Adam Thielen Officially Out For Week 11

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 11 against the Broncos. The Vikes were keeping the door open for Thielen to play this weekend, but it didn't really make sense with the team's bye coming in Week 12. Fantasy owners should get Thielen back in Week 13. Stefon […]

Kenyan Drake Ahead Of David Johnson On Depth Chart?

It looks as though Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake has jumped David Johnson on the depth chart. Drake was running receiving drills with first-team wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella at practice. We'll have no idea if this is actually true until game day on Sunday against the 49ers, but Drake […]

Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen Ruled Out

Chicago Bears tight ends Trey Burton (calf) and Adam Shaheen (foot) both missed practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 11 on Sunday night against the Rams. Burton really has done nothing of note in the passing game this year, so it's not a huge blow for the Bears offense. It means […]

David Montgomery Questionable For Week 11

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 11 against the Rams on Sunday night. The limited practice suggests Montgomery should be able to play, but he could be a true game-time decision on Sunday night. Already facing a tough matchup on the […]

Jacoby Brissett To Start Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) is a full-go for Week 11 against the Jaguars and will be the starter under center. It's good news for the Colts after backup Brian Hoyer was a disaster in the embarrassing Week 10 loss to the Dolphins with Brissett out. Brissett's return is good news for anyone feeling […]

T.Y. Hilton, Parris Campbell Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich has ruled out wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) for Week 11 against the Jaguars. Owners will have to wait until at least Week 12 to get Hilton back in the fold with the fantasy playoffs looming. Zach Pascal has been Indy's top receiving threat with […]

Adrian Phillips Set To Return From Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Chargers safety Adrian Phillips (forearm) has been designated as a player that will return from Injured Reserve, and he could play as soon as Monday night against the Chiefs in Week 11. He was placed on IR on Sept. 17 after breaking his forearm in the loss to the Lions. Second-year safety Derwin […]

Falcons Defense Getting Desmond Trufant Back

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant (toe) will play in Week 11 against the Panthers after missing the last four games with turf toe. It's good news for a Falcons Defense that has pretty much been torched through the air for most of the year outside of last week's surprising win over the Saints. Trufant's return […]

Austin Hooper, Devonta Freeman Officially Ruled Out

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) and running back Devonta Freeman (foot) have both been officially ruled out for Week 11 against the Panthers. Hooper is the team's leading receiver with 56 catches, while Freeman is the leading rusher with 371 yards, so it'll put a big strain on the offense this Sunday. Hooper […]

Week 11 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Count 'em down. There are only three weeks left before the playoffs begin in most fantasy leagues. If you survived the dreaded Week 10 with a season-high six teams on bye, it's a true testament to your squad's depth and your savvy on the waiver wire. Pat yourself on the back. Four more teams have […]

Antonio Callaway Loses Appeal

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway learned on Friday morning that he lost his appeal of a 10-game suspension for another violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Callaway is currently on waivers after the Browns announced they were moving on on Thursday. The talented wideout fell in the 2018 draft because of off-field issues, […]

A.J. Green Will Not Play Against Raiders

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver A.J. Green's (ankle) swelling in his left ankle went down, but it's still not good enough for him to make his season debut in Week 11 against the Raiders. Green could wind up not playing at all this season if he doesn't improve anytime soon. […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play In Week 11

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia has ruled quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) out for Week 11 against the Cowboys. Stafford is dealing with fractures in his back and will miss his second straight game. He won't be a lock to return in Week 12 either. Jeff Driskel will make his second straight start. He didn't […]

Eric Fisher On Track To Return Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (groin) put in a full practice on Thursday, which was his first full practice since undergoing surgery on a sports hernia in mid-September. He's on track to return for Monday night's divisional showdown against the Chargers in Mexico City. The team's starting left tackle has been out since […]

Diontae Johnson Suffers Head Injury Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) suffered a concussion from a helmet-to-helmet hit from Browns safety Damarious Randall on Thursday night and was carted off to the locker room. Randall was ejected from the game as a result. Johnson had blood coming out of his ear and did not look good at all, so […]
