Drew Brees Still In Play For Week 8
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has declined to name a starting quarterback for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Drew Brees (thumb) was limited in practice on Thursday and isn't being ruled out over Teddy Bridgewater just yet. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Saints hold Brees out another week with their bye […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoChiefs Defense Won't Have Chris Jones, Frank Clark
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) have both been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers. It's a big loss for the Chiefs defensive front and great news for Packers running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Jones should be considered a must-start in this […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoSammy Watkins Will Play Against Packers
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Packers in Week 8. Watkins will make his first start since Sept. 29 against the Lions. Aside from his 198-yard, three-touchdown outlier in Week 1, Watkins didn't top 64 yards in his other three […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKeenan Allen, Michael Badgley Questionable
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and kicker Michael Badgley (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Bears. Allen suffered a mid-week injury and missed practice both Thursday and Friday, so he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's game or being limited. Allen will be a bust candidate against […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoChris Herndon IV Unlikely To Play In Week 8
New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) will be limited in practice again on Friday, but the New York Post's Brian Costello thinks it's doubtful that Herndon will play in Week 8 against the Jaguars. Herndon has yet to make his season debut after a suspension and after tweaking his hamstring while practicing […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavante Adams Not Fully Recovered
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) said his toe isn't fully recovered yet, but he's feeling a lot better. "I’m a little limited right now," Adams said, "but for the most part I can do a lot of different footwork stuff. It’s just the full-speed routes right now that are a little tougher […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavid Johnson A Game-Time Decision
Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that running back David Johnson (ankle, back) will likely be a game-time decision in Week 8 against the Saints. Johnson was active last week but played just two snaps and saw Chase Edmonds rack up yardage and three touchdowns against the Giants. Johnson is shaping up to be […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAdam Thielen Expected Back In Week 9
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer expects wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Thielen was held out as a precaution in Thursday night's win over the Redskins. Expect Thielen to return to a great matchup that could be a shootout with the Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes (knee) is […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyrell Williams Expected To Return In Week 8
Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) "looked good yesterday and followed it up with another good day today. So, we're excited to get him back." It sounds like the Raiders expect Williams to return this Sunday against the Texans for the first time since Week 4. The first-year […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoParris Campbell Has Good Chance To Play
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said he thinks there's a good chance that rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) will play in Week 8 against the Broncos. Campbell has been out since Week 4 and has only 10 catches (13 targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown in his four games this season. He […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDuke Williams Questionable For Week 8
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles. As the team's No. 3 wideout, Williams has just five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown in two games this year. He can't be trusted in fantasy starting lineups just yet, even […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoNoah Fant Should Play Against Colts
Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) isn't practicing on Friday but should be ready to play in Week 8 against the Colts, according to a source. Fant could be questionable on the final injury report, but he should be out there on Sunday. The first-round pick doesn't have more than four catches or […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoZay Jones Expected To Play In Week 8
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Texans. Tyrell Williams (foot) has a chance to return this week as well from his two-game absence. It's unclear how much Jones will actually play if he's active, but if both he and Williams are active, it's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDede Westbrook Questionable Against Jets
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Jets. Westbrook was questionable last week also, but he suited up and went for over 100 yards receiving against the winless Bengals. We expect Westbrook to play again this Sunday, but make sure to check Sunday morning's inactives. If […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMatt Ryan Questionable For Week 8
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is questionable for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Ryan is nursing an ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 7 and could be a game-time decision Sunday morning. The Falcons are 1-6 and in danger of getting head coach Dan Quinn fired, so they may roll Ryan out there […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoShin-Soo Choo Undergoes Shoulder Surgery
Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (shoulder) underwent a minor surgery -- an AC joint debridement -- on his shoulder that is expected to keep him out for six to eight weeks. "It’s a relatively minor procedure with a timeline our medical staff believes will allow him to have a normal offseason. We expect he’ll be […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMarcell Dareus Placed On Injured Reserve
The Jacksonville Jaguars placed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (abdomen) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and signed free-agent defensive tackle Akeem Spence to the active roster in a corresponding move. Dareus could be designated to return later this season, but the Jaguars will basically be without him for the rest of the regular season. It's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoBroncos Won't Give Chris Harris Jr. Away
It would take a strong offer to pry Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. away before the Oct. 29 trade deadline next week. Harris remains one of the best shutdown corners in the NFL, and Denver's secondary would be much less fearsome if he were playing for another organization. He'll be tasked with slowing down […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoVon Miller Slumping In Ninth Season
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has just 2.5 sacks through seven games in 2019, leaving him on pace for just six all season. He posted fewer than six sacks in a season just once, back in 2013 when he played in nine games due to suspension and injury. It won't make matters easier the rest […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJamison Crowder Should Be Fine For Sunday
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (knee) had an awkward collision in practice on Thursday, and he was removed as a precaution. Crowder could be listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 8 against the Jaguars, but he should be fine to play on Sunday. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCase Keenum The Starter When Healthy
Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) will be the starter in Week 9 against the Bills if he's healthy. If he can't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Thursday night, rookie Dwayne Haskins would get the start. The good news is that […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoPatrick Corbin Gets Game 4 Of World Series
The Washington Nationals announced starting pitcher Patrick Corbin as their Game 4 starter of the World Series against the Astros on Saturday. Houston might be opposing Corbin with a bit of a bullpen game, depending on what happens in Game 3 on Friday with Houston down by two games. Corbin has given up 11 earned […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCase Keenum Knocked Out Thursday With Concussion
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) suffered a concussion on Thursday night against the Vikings and has been ruled out for the second half. The journeyman quarterback was 12-for-16 for 130 yards without a touchdown or interception, but he did lose a fumble before leaving. He wasn't terrible, but he predictably wasn't great either against […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDeebo Samuel Expected To Return Against Panthers
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) has been limited in practice this week and is expected to return to face the Panthers in Week 8 on Sunday. Samuel missed last week but should return after just a one-week absence to face Carolina. He shouldn't be trusted in the majority of leagues, though, […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDante Pettis Added To Injury Report
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Panthers and was limited in practice on Thursday. Mid-week setbacks aren't good, so Pettis could wind up being questionable this weekend. He was already trending down as more of a WR4/5 in PPR leagues after the Niners […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJosh Jacobs Could Play Without Practicing
Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he feels like he could play in Week 8 against the Texans even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Players don't usually get to make these decisions, but Jacobs should be questionable and has a chance to suit up as the team's lead back. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKeenan Allen Misses Practice Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Bears and did not practice on Thursday. It puts Allen's status in doubt for this weekend in a tough matchup on the road. The 27-year-old has been held under 100 yards receiving and hasn't scored since his […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Miss Another Practice
New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Neither player looks particularly close to playing in Week 8 against the Cardinals, so you shouldn't plan on having either of them in your lineups. Cook caught touchdowns in his last two […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAlvin Kamara, Drew Brees Limited Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Kamara didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a notable improvement, although he's still very questionable to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The Saints are likely factoring in their Week 9 bye […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJalen Richard Added To Injury Report
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard (ankle) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Texans and was limited in practice on Thursday. This is worth watching with rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) questionable for this weekend. If Jacobs were to sit out, Richard and Deandre Washington would form a split in […]
