D.J. Stewart Has Microfracture Surgery
Baltimore Orioles outfielder D.J. Stewart (ankle) underwent successful microfracture surgery on his right ankle on Thursday. Stewart is expected to return to baseball activities near the end of spring training. Microfracture procedures aren't your typical surgery, so Stewart should be expected to miss the start of the 2020 regular season, and he could be slowed […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoElvis Andrus Won't Opt Out Of Deal
Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus won't opt out of the $43 million and three years left on his current deal. The 31-year-old is making the right decision after hitting .275/.313/.393 with 12 home runs, 72 RBI and 31 stolen bases in 147 games for Texas in 2019. It was Andrus' first time going over 30 […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJohnathan Joseph Expected To Return In Week 7
Houston Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph (hamstring) is questionable for Week 7 against the Colts, but he's expected to return and will likely be tasked with slowing down wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Cornerback Bradley Roby (hamstring) is questionable but is not expected to play. Safety Tashaun Gipson (hip) is questionable but is expected to play. It's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoFalcons Put Vic Beasley On Trade Block
Atlanta Falcons defensive end Vic Beasley has been put on the trade block with the deadline approaching, according to a league source. The former first-round pick is making $12.8 million this year and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season. The 27-year-old had a career-high 15.5 sacks in 2016 but had […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJosh Gordon Misses Practice Friday
New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (ankle, knee) missed a second straight practice on Friday. Tight ends Ryan Izzo (concussion) and Matt LaCosse (knee) also sat out. Gordon looks unlikely to play on Monday night against the Jets, so fantasy owners should make plans to be without him. If that's the case, it's likely […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDeebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 7
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Redskins. Samuel has been a little-used receiver in his rookie season in a run-first offense, so he belongs on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues. His absence is good news for both Marquise Goodwin and […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJake Marisnick Starting Against Lefty In Game 5
Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick is starting in center field and is batting ninth against Yankees left-hander James Paxton in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday. With the southpaw on the mound, Josh Reddick will take a seat for this one. Marisnick is mainly used late in games for his defensive […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAlvin Kamara, Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Ruled Out
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) have all been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bears. Make sure to remove Kamara and Cook from your lineups now. With Kamara sidelined, backup Latavius Murray will be the backfield workhorse and will have […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMalcolm Brown Doubtful To Face Falcons
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is doubtful for Week 7 against the Falcons. Todd Gurley (thigh) is expected to return from a one-game absence anyway, so Brown's fantasy appeal would've taken a hit anyway. With Brown unlikely to play, though, look for rookie Darrell Henderson to see his biggest workload of the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoChristian Kirk A Game-Time Call Against Giants
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 7 against the Giants. Kirk is cutting more often in practice but is not all the way back. He sounds on the wrong side of questionable in what is a great matchup for Arizona's receivers. If Kirk sits, it'll be his […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTodd Gurley, Jalen Ramsey Expected To Play In Week 7
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects running back Todd Gurley (thigh) and cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) to play in Week 7 against the Falcons. Gurley missed last week's game but should be back on the field in an excellent matchup with the free-falling Falcons Defense. Gurley will be more of a low-end RB2 […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavid Johnson To Be Game-Time Decision
Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back David Johnson (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 7 against the Giants. If the Cardinals had to play on Friday, Johnson would've been inactive. We thought there wouldn't be drama around Johnson's status this week with him getting in more practice work, but […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoVernon Davis Won't Play Against Old Team
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 7 against the 49ers. Davis is recovering from his head injury but just couldn't get cleared in time. With Jordan Reed (concussion) on Injured Reserve, Jeremy Sprinkle will continue to start for the 'Skins. He's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyrell Williams Officially Ruled Out
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Packers. Williams is dealing with plantar fasciitis and should be considered week-to-week at this point. In his absence, it'll be Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, Keelan Doss and Trevor Davis battling for targets in a tough matchup on the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyler Kroft Set To Make Season Debut
Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) practiced in full all week and was left off the final injury report for Week 7 against the Dolphins. Kroft is set to make his season debut this Sunday. The matchup is a great one against the winless Dolphins, but fantasy owners can't expect much of Kroft right […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoNick Foles Could Practice Next Week
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks that quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) will return to practice next week. Foles broke his collarbone in the season opener and has given way to rookie Gardner Minshew. It's good news that Foles is progressing, but even if he returns to practice next week, he'll likely need at least […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoChris Thompson Ruled Out For Sunday
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the 49ers. Thompson is dealing with turf toe, so he could also wind up missing Week 8 and potentially beyond. It means that Adrian Peterson will handle the early downs, with Wendell Smallwood chipping in on passing downs. However, […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTaylor Gabriel Not On Final Injury Report
Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 7 against the Saints. The last time Gabriel played, he caught three first-half touchdowns before suffering a head injury. He'll be back in the fold this weekend but shouldn't be in many team's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMitch Trubisky Questionable To Face Saints
Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full all week but is listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Saints. Trubisky should return after coming out of the bye week, but he's a mediocre QB2 option in an offense that hasn't done much through the air all season long. On top of it, […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJoe Flacco To Remain The Starter
Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said he's considering major changes on offense after the blowout loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night, but moving away from quarterback Joe Flacco is not one of them. The main reason is that current backup Brandon Allen wouldn't be a realistic solution. However, rookie Drew Lock is nearing […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoPatrick Mahomes Could Miss Three Weeks
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) suffered a right patellar dislocation in the second quarter during a QB sneak on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos, according to a source. He is undergoing an MRI exam on Friday to determine if there is any ligament damage, but the best-case timeline for Mahomes "would be […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMarqise Lee, Geoff Swaim Ruled Out
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ankle) and tight end Geoff Swaim (ankle, concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bengals. Neither Lee nor Swaim have moved the fantasy needle this year for the Jaguars offense. If Dede Westbrook can't give it a go, it'll be either C.J. Board or Keelan […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavante Adams Ruled Out For Week 7
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has ruled out wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) for Week 7 against the Raiders. It'll be Adams' third straight missed game while dealing with turf toe, and he'll be questionable for Week 8, at best. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers' fantasy luster hasn't been as strong without Adams in the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDede Westbrook Listed As Questionable
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Bengals. We still expect Westbrook to play, but you'll need to check the Sunday morning inactives just to be sure. Against a Cincinnati team missing their starting cornerbacks, Westbrook will be a high-end WR3 if he's active. If he's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAmari Cooper, Randall Cobb Expected To Play Sunday
Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Amari Cooper (ankle, quadriceps) and Randall Cobb (back) are both expected to return to practice on Friday and play against the Eagles in Week 7 on Sunday night, according to sources. The same can be said for offensive tackles Tyron Smith (ankle) and La'el Collins (knee). Cooper and Cobb were trending […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoChris Herndon IV Misses Practice Again
New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. Herndon remains week-to-week and is doubtful to suit up on Monday night against the Patriots. He has yet to make his season debut after a four-game suspension, but Herndon could provide low-end TE1 value eventually when he's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoSterling Shepard Won't Play In Week 7
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) will not be cleared to play in Week 7 against the Cardinals, according to sources. Week 8 is also an uncertainty for Shepard as the Giants take caution with his head injury, the second concussion he's suffered in a four-week span. You can remove Shepard from your […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDeSean Jackson Not Expected To Play Against Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) isn't expected to play on Sunday night against the Cowboys. Jackson is improving, but it looks like the Eagles aren't ready to throw him out there just yet despite the important divisional battle against Dallas. D-Jax hasn't played since Week 2, and his absence as the team's deep […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCC Sabathia Removed From ALCS Roster
The New York Yankees replaced starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) on the American League Championship Series roster on Friday with reliever Ben Heller. Sabathia suffered a subluxation of his left shoulder joint in his relief appearance in the Game 4 loss to the Astros on Thursday night. The left-hander announced before this season that 2019 […]

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) underwent arthroscopic right elbow surgery on Wednesday in New York. Dr. David Altchek removed three fragmented loose bodies and cleaned up multiple bone spur formations in Freeman's elbow.
