Titans Defense May Lose Malcolm Butler For Season
Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that cornerback Malcolm Butler (wrist) may be lost for the season after breaking his wrist in the Week 9 loss to the Panthers. Losing Butler for the rest of the year would be a big blow to Tennessee's passing defense the rest of the way. That will especially […]
Delanie Walker No Longer In Walking Boot
Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) said he's making progress and is no longer in a walking boot. He expects to play at some point in the not-so-distant future. It's good news, but it sounds like Walker will miss another game in Week 10 against the Chiefs. Jonnu Smith was a disappointment in Week […]
Kareem Hunt Will Have A Role Against Bills
Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens is looking forward to getting running back Kareem Hunt back from his suspension and said that "he'll definitely have a role" in Week 10 against the Bills. Perhaps Hunt's addition to the offense is what Cleveland needs to turn things around after starting 2-6. His presence in the backfield […]
O.J. Howard Should Be Ready For Week 10
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) should be "ready to roll" for Week 10 against the Cardinals after missing the last two games. Cameron Brate wasn't targeted at all in Week 9 with Howard sidelined. Howard has been the biggest bust at his position in fantasy with […]
Ronald Jones II Has Earned Bigger Workload
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II has earned the right to start and play more snaps ahead of Peyton Barber. It's about time. Jones has been the more explosive back for most of the year and just carried the ball 18 times for 67 yards and a […]
DeSean Jackson Seeking Second And Third Opinions
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) left the Week 9 game against the Bears early in the game after feeling discomfort on his four snaps. Jackson is undergoing second and third opinions, and Pederson isn't speculating on Jackson's availability coming out of the Week 10 bye against the […]
Kyle Allen To Start In Week 10, Cam Newton Continues Rehabbing
Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Kyle Allen will start again in Week 10 against the Packers, while Cam Newton (foot) will continue with his rehab program. Newton isn't recovering as the team had hoped, and there's a chance he'll need season-ending surgery after he visited with a foot specialist over the […]
Josh Gordon Passes Physical, Will Practice This Week
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) passed his physical with the team on Saturday and will practice this week in hopes of making his debut with the team on Monday night against the unbeaten 49ers. Seattle will have three-wide sets of Tyler Lockett, impressive rookie D.K. Metcalf and Gordon if he's cleared to play […]
Jacoby Brissett Has Sprained MCL
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) suffered a sprained left MCL in the Week 9 loss to the Steelers, but the team hasn't ruled him out yet for Week 10 against the Dolphins. The Colts are waiting for MRI results to determine the severity of the injury. It's likely that Brissett won't be able to […]
Cubs Pick Up Anthony Rizzo's Option
As expected, the Chicago Cubs picked up first baseman Anthony Rizzo's $16.5 million option for the 2020 season on Sunday, according to a league source. 2019 was Rizzo's second straight season with under 30 home runs -- he previously had four straight seasons with 30-plus round-trippers -- but he was otherwise consistent for fantasy owners […]
DeSean Jackson Aggravates Injury In Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) aggravated his injury in Week 9 against the Bears and is questionable to return. Jackson returned for the first time since Week 2, but he had just one catch for five yards on his only target before going back to the sidelines. It's not a good sign for […]
Geremy Davis Inactive In Week 9
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Geremy Davis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Packers. Davis hasn't been fantasy relevant with three catches for 38 yards in two games this year, but his absence will allow Andre Patton to emerge in three-receiver sets. There won't be enough to go around behind Keenan […]
Davante Adams Officially Active Against Chargers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is officially active for Week 9 against the Chargers. Adams will be on the field for the first time since he suffered a turf toe injury on Sept. 26 against the Eagles. There might be some rust to shake off and he'll be shadowed by cornerback Casey […]
Darius Slay Returning For Lions Defense
Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) is active for Week 9 against the Raiders. Defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) is also active, giving the Lions a boost against the Oakland offense on Sunday. However, defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) and defensive tackle Mike Daniels (foot) are out. Slay's return to action is bad news for […]
Cameron Brate Active Against Seahawks
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) is officially active for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate was listed as questionable but wasn't really in any danger of missing this game. Although he didn't capitalize with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out in Week 8, Brate has the opportunity to put up TE1 numbers against Seattle […]
Jacoby Brissett Injured Sunday
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) was forced to leave the Week 9 game against the Steelers early after one of his teammates fell into his left knee. Brissett was in a lot of pain on the ground but was able to limp off the field. He's questionable to return. Brian Hoyer has taken over […]
Nationals Want To Re-Sign Stephen Strasburg
The Washington Nationals want to re-sign starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg after he opted out of the final four years and $100 million of his contract. The word is that Washington is willing to give the right-hander a nice annual raise from $25 million per season. The sticking point could be the years, but the two […]
Dodgers Decline Option On Jedd Gyorko
The Los Angeles Dodgers declined infielder Jedd Gyorko's option for the 2020 season, making him a free agent. The 31-year-old had a miserable year in 2019, splitting time with the Dodgers and Cardinals. Gyorko dealt with injuries and hit .174/.248/.250 in a part-time role for both Los Angeles and St. Louis. He had only two […]
Aroldis Chapman Reaches Extension With Yankees
The New York Yankees and closer Aroldis Chapman agreed to a restructured deal on Saturday that will keep the left-hander with the team through the 2022 season, according to sources. The 31-year-old could have opted out of the final two years of his deal, but instead the Yanks will add another year for $18 million […]
Ryan Zimmerman, Yan Gomes Become Free Agents
The Washington Nationals declined their 2020 options on first baseman Ryan Zimmerman ($18 million) and catcher Yan Gomes ($9 million), making them both free agents. The Nats expect to work something out to re-sign Zimmerman, who was the team's first-round pick in 2005, but the same can't be said for Gomes. Zimmerman has dealt with […]
Nats Pick Up Options On Sean Doolittle, Adam Eaton
The Washington Nationals picked up their 2020 options on closer Sean Doolittle ($6.5 million) and outfielder Adam Eaton ($9.5 million). Doolittle had a down year in 2019 and struggled with injuries, posting a 4.05 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 29 saves and 66 K's in 60 innings. The left-hander shared closing duties with Daniel Hudson late in […]
Stephen Strasburg Opts Out Of Deal
Washington Nationals starting pitcher and World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg opted out of the final four years and $100 million of his deal on Saturday night. The 31-year-old right-hander dominated in the postseason and won five of his six starts, including two in the World Series. He also dominated in the regular season, going 18-6 […]
Sterling Shepard Won't Play On Monday Night
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) will not play on Monday night against the Cowboys. Shepard was limited in practices this week, but he told the training staff that he didn't feel well on Saturday and has been put back into the concussion protocol. He's suffered two concussions already this season and has […]
Steelers Asked About Le'Veon Bell
The Pittsburgh Steelers inquired about the availability of New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell before the trade deadline when they feared that running back James Conner's (shoulder) injury was serious, according to sources. The Texans, Chiefs and Packers also discussed trading for Bell. When the Steelers learned that Conner's injury was just a week-to-week […]
Seahawks Had Interest In Antonio Brown
The Seattle Seahawks were doing their due diligence on free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown this week before they claimed wide receiver Josh Gordon on waivers on Friday, according to league sources. Quarterback Russell Wilson was even pushing the team to sign Brown before they claimed Gordon. Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said there are "a few […]
Duke Williams A Healthy Scratch For Bills
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams is a healthy inactive for Week 9 against the Redskins. Running back T.J. Yeldon also remains a healthy scratch with rookie Devin Singletary backing up Frank Gore in the backfield. Williams caught a touchdown on Oct. 6 in the win over the Titans, but he has just six catches […]
Curtis Samuel Active In Week 9
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) is active for Week 9 against the Titans. Samuel hasn't been as trustworthy for fantasy owners with Kyle Allen at quarterback instead of Cam Newton (foot), but he still has some fantasy appeal as a boom-or-bust WR3. The 23-year-old had a healthy 11 targets in the loss in […]
DeSean Jackson Officially Active Against Bears
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is officially active in Week 9 against the Bears. It'll be Jackson's first action since his injury in Week 2. He went off in the season opener for eight catches, 154 yards and two touchdowns, and he'll return to his role as the team's field-stretcher as a deep […]
Patrick Mahomes, Frank Clark Out Against Vikes
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) are both inactive for Week 9 against the Vikings. Mahomes was a game-time decision, but the Chiefs are playing it safe with their star quarterback. There's a good chance he returns in Week 10 to face the Titans. When he's back, Mahomes […]
Demaryius Thomas Active For Week 9
New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (ankle, hamstring), who was listed as questionable, is active for Week 9 against the Dolphins. Thomas has had a solid 14 targets the last two weeks with Sam Darnold back at quarterback as the No. 3 receiver behind Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder. DT remains more of a […]
