Keith Hernandez 6 years agoFalcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

The Carolina Panthers fired defensive line coach Brady Hoke and assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach Jeff Imamura on Monday after their Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Carolina suffered the upset […]

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said that there's a "good shot" that left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is able to play in Week 14 against the Eagles. Smith was active on Thanksgiving but didn't play at all and was then inactive last Thursday against the Saints. His return would be excellent news for quarterback […]

Denver Broncos slot cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (leg), who fractured his fibula in Week 13, will not go on Injured Reserve, according to sources. The team plans to keep him on the roster in case he can return in the unlikely event that the team qualifies for the playoffs. Harris' injury is more of a […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEli Manning Still The Starter Heading To Week 14
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said "Eli's our starter" heading into Week 14 against the Redskins. There is a "good chance" that rookie Kyle Lauletta will once again serve as the backup to Eli Manning this week. Manning is clearly running on fumes at age 37 and looked bad again in Week 13 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJames Conner's Injury Not Considered Serious
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (leg) right lower leg injury is not considered to be serious, and he's believed to be dealing with a lower leg contusion. It seems like Conner will be OK to play in Week 14 in an excellent matchup against the Raiders, but we'll have to see how much he […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJames Conner Limps Off Sunday Night
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (leg) was injured in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game against the Chargers and limped off with trainers. Conner was injured on a screen play in which the defender rolled up on his leg. It could be the dreaded high ankle sprain, but we'll have to wait […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPhillies May Be Close To Landing Jean Segura
The Seattle Mariners are in serious talks with the Philadelphia Phillies that would send shortstop Jean Segura to the Phillies, according to sources. Segura would first need to waive his full no-trade clause for this trade to go through. The Mariners would likely receive shortstop J.P. Crawford as part of a package for Segura. The […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Justin Hunter (shoulder) suffered an injury Sunday night against the Chargers and will not return. Hunter failed to reel in any of his three targets before his injury. With him out for the rest of the game and rookie James Washington a healthy scratch, Ryan Switzer will operate on three-receiver sets […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChiefs Likely To Sign C.J. Anderson
The Kansas City Chiefs will bring free-agent running back C.J. Anderson in for a workout on Monday and are likely to sign him if he passes a physical, according to a league source.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Carson Suffers Dislocated Finger
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (finger) suffered a dislocated finger in the Week 13 win over the 49ers, but Carroll said Carson "should be OK." The good news is that Carson has an extra day to recover, with the team playing the Vikings in Week 14 on Monday […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJames Washington A Healthy Scratch Sunday Night
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver James Washington is a healthy scratch for Sunday night against the Chargers. Offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (knee) is also out for this game. Washington has plenty of long-term upside, but he hasn't been a big part of the team's offense this year with only eight catches on 25 targets for […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTyrell Williams Active Against Steelers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams (quadriceps) is active for Sunday night against the Steelers. Williams has been gutting out his injury for weeks and has caught just two passes on six targets for 22 yards in the last two weeks. He didn't have a single target in the Week 12 win over the […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPackers Fire Mike McCarthy
The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy after their 20-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 13. Joe Philbin will serve as the interim head coach for the final four games of what has become a lost season for Green Bay. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has struggled mightily in recent weeks with a lack […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGreg Olsen's Season Likely Over
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) has indicated that his season is over after suffering another foot injury in the Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. Olsen was on crutches after the game and the 33-year-old could've played his last snap in the NFL as a result. Foot injuries derailed his last two seasons, […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBlue Jays Interested In Dallas Keuchel
The Toronto Blue Jays have interest in free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel. The left-hander won a Cy Young in 2015 and went 12-11 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 6.7 K/9 across 34 starts for the Astros in 2018. He doesn't throw very hard and isn't a strikeout artist, so a move to hitter-friendly […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoHowie Kendrick On Schedule In Rehab
Washington Nationals second baseman Howie Kendrick (Achilles) said he has started running and is on schedule in his rehab from a ruptured Achilles last season. He expects to be ready for the start of spring training but knows he still has several hurdles to clear before then. The 35-year-old is a nice utility guy to […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoDenzel Ward Injured Against Texans
Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) was ruled out in Week 13 after suffering a concussion early in the game against the Texans. Ward has been one of the team's best defensive weapons this year and has had a nose for the football. His absence was felt as the Texans rolled in this game, […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Harris Jr. Suffers Broken Leg
Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (leg) suffered a broken fibula in the Week 13 win over the Bengals and will miss the rest of the season. The slot corner exited early in the game, but the Broncos secondary didn't really miss a beat against an equally banged up Cincinnati unit. Denver's secondary was already […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGreg Olsen Re-Injures Foot
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) re-injured his foot in the Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers early in the game and was ruled out. Olsen missed most of last season and several weeks earlier this year with a foot injury, so this doesn't look good. We'd expect Olsen to be out at least […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoA.J. Green Carted Off On Sunday
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) re-injured his foot in Week 13 against the Broncos and was carted off to the locker room. Green had just one catch for seven yards before being injured and had his head in his hands as he was being carted off. It was his first game action since […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRex Burkhead Active Against Vikings
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (neck) is active in Week 13 against the Vikings for the first time since Week 3. Burkhead was activated from Injured Reserve this week and will factor into the backfield behind rookie Sony Michel and James White. While Burkhead isn't expected to see many snaps in his first […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoStefon Diggs, Xavier Rhodes Both Active
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) are both active for Week 13 against the Patriots. Diggs had some knee swelling overnight and was a game-time decision, but he will play. He remains a WR2 for fantasy owners but one with considerable risk despite finding the end zone once in […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAlfred Morris A Healthy Scratch Again
San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris is a healthy scratch for Week 13 against the Seahawks for the second straight week. Alf-Mo hasn't played since Nov. 12 and is well off the fantasy radar. Rookie Jeffery Wilson and Matt Dayes should continue to spell lead-back Matt Breida against Seattle.
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoSam Darnold Missing Another Game
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) remains inactive for Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold returned to practice this week and is likely return to the starting role in Week 14. Veteran journeyman Josh McCown will receive another start but has a low ceiling in this mediocre offense and is a low-end QB2 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRobby Anderson To Play Against Titans
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is active for Week 13 against the Titans. Anderson has been battling his ankle injury in recent weeks and has just six catches for 57 yards in his last two games. He displayed good chemistry with quarterback Josh McCown last year, but Anderson is a very shaky […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMartavis Bryant Inactive Against Chiefs
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (knee) is inactive in Week 13 against the Chiefs. Bryant was doubtful for this game, so this is no surprise. He hasn't played since Nov. 11 and has no timetable for a return. Bryant should remain on the waiver wire in most leagues. Oakland's receivers have a good opportunity […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEric Berry Remains Out In Week 13
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains inactive for Week 13 against the Raiders. Berry returned to practice for the first time this year this week and has a shot to return next week against the Ravens. KC's secondary has given up a ton of yardage and points this year and should see a […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Harris Jr. Carted Off Sunday
Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (leg) was carted off the field with a lower leg injury in Week 13 against the Bengals and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. With cornerback Tramaine Brock also not playing on Sunday, the Broncos are now very thin in the secondary, which is good […]
