Chris Herndon IV Won't Practice Wednesday
New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who is eligible to return in Week 6 from his suspension, will not practice on Wednesday after injuring himself running routes last week. Head coach Adam Gase said "it's not ideal," and it's not looking good for Herndon's chances of making his season debut in Week […]
Norv Turner Praises Reggie Bonnafon
Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon has impressed offensive coordinator Norv Turner. "He’s probably improved more than anyone on offense over the last year and a half," Turner said. Bonnafon was a waiver pickup this week for those in deeper leagues after he rushed five times for 80 yards and a touchdown in relief of […]
Case Keenum Expected To Start In Week 6
The Washington Redskins are expected to start quarterback Case Keenum in Week 6 against the Dolphins, assuming he's healthy, according to sources. Colt McCoy started in Week 5 and was predictably bad against the Patriots. Keenum wasn't terrible to begin the year other than turning the ball over left and right. It's hard to trust […]
T.J. Hockenson Back At Practice
Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) was doing limited work at practice on Wednesday, but he remains in the concussion protocol. Hockenson isn't a lock to return on Monday night against the Packers after suffering a scary concussion in Week 4, but he's making good progress. If he plays this week, he'll be […]
Sammy Watkins Not Practicing Wednesday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Watkins was active on Sunday night in Week 5 but was hurt early on and never returned. He's looking unlikely to suit up in Week 6 against the Texans, so make sure you have other options. His window to take advantage of […]
Twins To Pick Up Nelson Cruz's Option
The Minnesota Twins will pick up veteran designated hitter Nelson Cruz's $12 million option for the 2020 season. Despite being 39 years old in 2019, Cruz managed to hit .311/.392/.639 with 41 home runs, 81 runs and 108 RBI in just 120 games. He's had at least 40 dingers in four of the last six […]
Tyler Glasnow To Start Game 5 Of ALDS
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow will start Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Astros on Thursday, according to manager Kevin Cash. Glasnow has electric stuff that is downright unhittable at times, it's just a matter of whether he can throw strikes. In Game 1 of the series he limited […]
Josh Rosen The Starter The Rest Of The Way
Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that the team's quarterback situation is "settled" and that Josh Rosen will be the guy the rest of the season. Rosen hasn't been great in his two starts the last two games, but he's been slightly better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Against the similarly terrible Redskins in Week 6, […]
DeSean Jackson Rehabbing Wednesday
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday and will rehab off to the side. As of now it's looking like D-Jax will miss another game. If he does, it'll be Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins again in three-wide sets in a tough […]
Baker Mayfield Dealing With Minor Injuries
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (leg, shoulder) had his leg and shoulder wrapped following the Monday night loss to the 49ers, but head coach Freddie Kitchens doesn't expect the injuries to linger. “I am sure he was bumped and bruised,” Kitchens said of Mayfield, who was sacked four times. “He got hit more than I […]
Browns Sticking With Antonio Callaway As No. 3 Receiver
Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said he'll "definitely" stick with wide receiver Antonio Callaway as the team's third wideout despite his terrible season debut on Monday night in the blowout loss to the 49ers. The fourth-rounder was suspended the first four weeks for violating the league's drug policy. He was penalized for a false […]
James Washington Expected To Miss A Few Weeks
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (shoulder) is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 5 against the Ravens, according to a source. Washington had just nine catches on 21 targets for 140 scoreless yards through five weeks, so he wasn't a viable commodity in most standard-sized fantasy leagues. […]
Week 5 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding
A quarter of the season is in the books. So what have we learned? The Dolphins are by far the worst team in the NFL and could lose all 16 games, but the Redskins aren't far behind and are turning to Colt McCoy at quarterback. The undefeated Chiefs, as expected, have the best offense in […]
Brandin Cooks In Concussion Protocol
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) has been placed in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Sean McVay. McVay did say that Cooks has been asymptomatic since suffering the head injury in the Thursday night loss. The 26-year-old suffered the injury on his only catch (a 29-yarder) late in the game. […]
Gavin Lux Gets Nod At Keystone In Game 2
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux will start at second base and bat eighth in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday against Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg. The 21-year-old rookie hit a pinch-hit home run in his first career playoff at-bat in Game 1 on Thursday. Lux tore it up in the […]
Max Scherzer Starting Game 3 Sunday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer will get the ball in Game 3 of the National League Division Series at home against the Dodgers on Sunday. Scherzer struggled in the wild-card win over the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two home runs) in five innings. A bounce-back performance could easily be in the cards, […]
Howie Kendrick At Second, Ryan Zimmerman At 1B Friday
Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick is starting at second base and is batting fifth on Friday against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. Ryan Zimmerman will get the start at first base and is batting sixth. Asdrubal Cabrera will start on the bench against the southpaw. Kendrick hit […]
Breshad Perriman Ruled Out Against Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Saints. Perriman has done very little behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin this year, so he wouldn't have been a fantasy option even if he was active. As a result, rookie Scott Miller […]
Tre'Quan Smith Returning In Week 5
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 5 against the Buccaneers. Smith will return after a two-week absence, but he had just five catches for 75 yards and a touchdown in his two games. You can't take Smith […]
Sammy Watkins, Damien Williams Listed As Questionable
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring, shoulder) and running back Damien Williams (knee) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Colts in Week 5. Head coach Andy Reid said that Williams will play after putting in a full week of full practice. Watkins was limited on Friday after two full days […]
Mike Williams Says He'll Play Against Broncos
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back), who is questionable for Week 5 against the Broncos, said that he will play on Sunday. He didn't travel with the team in Week 4 because he wanted his back spasms to calm down, but he had a good week of practice. "I’m playing," Williams said. "I’m […]
Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler To Split Carries Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler are expected to split the workload in Week 5 against the Broncos. "I think it will be a lot of me and Austin flipping -- me going in, and then him going in -- flip-flopping. We'll be splitting the ball a lot," Gordon said. Gordon […]
T.Y. Hilton, Marlon Mack Questionable Against Chiefs
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) and running back Marlon Mack (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Chiefs in Week 5. Hilton was limited the last two days of practice, while Mack returned to a full practice after two missed practices earlier in the week. Both Hilton and Mack should […]
Demaryius Thomas, Quinnen Williams Questionable
New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) and rookie defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (ankle) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Eagles. Head coach Adam Gase said that Thomas has looked good in practice. "It's looking very positive for us," Gase said. It looks like Thomas will be active, but he's not […]
Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin, Virgil Green Questionable
Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Mike Williams (back) and Travis Benjamin (hip) and tight end Virgil Green (groin) all practiced in full on Friday but are questionable for Week 5 against the Broncos. We'd expect all three players to be active after sitting out in Week 4. It's good news for quarterback Philip Rivers, who […]
Michael Gallup Good To Go For Sunday
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee), who is questionable for Week 5 against the Packers, said he's good to go for Sunday. Gallup will be returning from a two-week absence and could have his snaps limited. It's also a tough matchup against a much improved Packers secondary, so Gallup is shaping up as a […]
Chargers Hesitant To Use Melvin Gordon
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn is hesitant to put too much on running back Melvin Gordon's shoulders in his first game of the season in Week 5 against the Broncos. "I don’t want to put him in there and play him too much, and I really don’t have to. I like what Austin […]
Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Out Against Cowboys
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Cowboys. The good news is that Adams' turf toe injury isn't serious, and he could return in Week 6. His absence means that Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo […]
Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable Against Redskins
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 5 against the Redskins. Wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) was taken off the final injury report. Both Edelman and Burkhead should play in this excellent matchup. Edelman hasn't been great […]
Mitch Trubisky Officially Out For Week 5
Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Raiders in London. Trubisky was never expected to play in this game, especially with the Bears on bye in Week 6. There's a good chance that he winds up missing just this one game. Backup […]
