Pirates Trade For Erik Gonzalez

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Erik Gonzalez and minor league pitchers Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza from the Indians on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff. With both Jordy Mercer and Josh Harrison likely to depart in free agency this winter, the Bucs need some added middle infield depth and […]

Indians Acquire Jordan Luplow, Max Moroff

The Cleveland Indians acquired outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Erik Gonzalez and minor league pitchers Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza. This trade doesn't move the needle all that much for fantasy or real life, but it gives the Tribe some more options for depth […]

Dolphins Sign Brice Butler

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler on Wednesday. In two games for the Cowboys this year, Butler missed his only target in the passing game. He had 15 catches on 24 targets for 317 yards and three touchdowns with Dallas in 2017 in 13 games. Butler will help with depth while Devante […]

Marvin Jones, Michael Roberts Out Of Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones has seen 15 targets in the two games since Golden Tate was traded, but it's translated to only nine catches for 121 yards and no touchdowns. He's shaping up as a risky WR2 if he's questionable […]

Taywan Taylor Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Taylor missed the Week 11 win over the Patriots and doesn't seem to be on track to return this weekend against the Colts. If he sits out for the second straight game, it'd be good news for Corey Davis and Tajae Sharpe. Taylor […]

Vernon Davis Added To Injury Report

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (ribs) was added to the Week 11 injury report, but he put in a full practice on Wednesday. Davis should play this Sunday against the Texans, but as long as Jordan Reed remains healthy, Davis has no business being anywhere near a fantasy roster. He has 15 catches on […]

Jamison Crowder, Dustin Hopkins Miss Practice

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Crowder hasn't played in well over a month and doesn't look close to returning at this point. Leave him on the waiver wire. Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris will continue to serve as the top two wideouts if […]

Keke Coutee Puts In Limited Practice

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Coutee practiced before sitting out in Week 9, and he had the Week 10 bye to rest up. He has said that he will not return unless he's 100 percent after missing the start of the season with the same hamstring […]

Peyton Barber, Ronald Jones Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) and Ronald Jones II (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barber played in Week 10 and should be fine moving forward as the team's lead back on early downs, but he's a low-end RB2 option. Jones has had a very disappointing rookie season and […]

Chris Godwin Misses Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Godwin's injury doesn't appear serious, so he might just be getting a rest after his best game of the year in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins where he caught all seven of his targets for 103 yards. […]

James Conner A Full Participant Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and said he feels good. Conner declined to say if he even suffered a concussion in last Thursday's game. With Le'Veon Bell now officially out of the picture for the rest of the year, Conner is locked into the workhorse […]

Justin Bour Placed On Waivers

The Philadelphia Phillies placed first baseman Justin Bour on waivers on Wednesday as they trim their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 protection deadline next Tuesday. Bour hit 19 home runs but only .227 in 112 games with the Marlins in 2018, but he lost mostly all of his fantasy value with the trade […]

Bengals Hopeful A.J. Green Can Face Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said he's hopeful to have wide receiver A.J. Green (toe) in Week 11 against the Ravens in an important divisional matchup. Green was expected to miss at least two weeks with his injury, so it might be considered a long shot that he will suit up this Sunday. If […]

Joey Bosa To Practice On Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) will practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. There's a chance he could make his season debut in Week 11 against the Broncos, but he may also need some time to get back into football shape. We'd be pretty surprised if […]

Deonte Thompson Signs With Bills

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent wide receiver Deonte Thompson to a one-year deal on Wednesday. Thompson had 14 catches on 20 targets for 124 scoreless yards for Dallas before he was waived. Thompson played 11 games with the Bills in 2017 and caught 27 passes for 430 yards and a touchdown. Even with Buffalo's receiving […]

Chris Thompson Likely To Sit Out This Week

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that there's a good chance that running back Chris Thompson (ribs) will miss the Week 11 game against the Texans. Left tackle Trent Williams (knee) also will not play this Sunday. Neither player practiced on Wednesday. Thompson has only played in five games this year and not since […]

Royce Freeman Practicing Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is practicing on Wednesday. Freeman missed two games with a high ankle sprain and was off last week during the bye, so he looks ready to return in Week 11 to face the Chargers. He should go back to splitting touches with fellow rookie Phillip Lindsay, but […]

Robert Griffin III An Option To Start Against Bengals

With Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) up in the air for Week 11 against the Bengals, the team has continually mentioned Robert Griffin III as an option to start even if it seems unlikely. RG3 has mainly been inactive this year because the Ravens have used rookie Lamar Jackson in special packages in each […]

Joe Flacco Not Practicing Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is not practicing on Wednesday. Head coach John Harbaugh said Flacco won't need to practice in order to start in Week 11 against the Bengals, but it's looking right now like Flacco will be on the wrong side of questionable this Sunday. Both rookie Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin […]

Rashaad Penny May Struggle For Touches On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, who had his first 100-yard game and first touchdown of his career in Week 10 against the Rams, may see his role shrink significantly this Thursday against the Packers with Chris Carson (hip) expected to return from a one-game absence and start. “Yeah, yeah, but when everybody’s healthy, […]

Jordy Nelson Questionable For Week 11

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) is questionable for Week 11 against the Cardinals with a knee bruise. The Raiders activated receiver Saeed Blacknall from the practice squad, according to head coach Jon Gruden. Most people thought Nelson would actually be useful to fantasy owners once they traded away Amari Cooper, but that hasn't […]

Stefon Diggs Back At Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) is back at practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 9 game. Diggs had the Week 10 bye to heal up, so he should be good to go for Sunday night against the Bears, where he'll be a WR2. He had 10 catches on 11 targets for 119 […]

D'Onta Foreman Resumes Practicing Wednesday

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) will practice on Wednesday, which will open his 21-day window for a return from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Foreman last played in an NFL game on Nov. 19 of last season, so it'll be over a year by the time […]

A.J. Bouye Could Return This Week

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye (calf) is expected to be limited in practice on Wednesday, which would put him on track to return in Week 11 to face the Steelers. Bouye has been sidelined since Week 8. His return would be a boost to an already strong Jacksonville secondary and would make life even tougher […]

Terron Armstead Expected To Be Out 3-4 Weeks

New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead (pectoral) is expected to be out for around three to four weeks, according to a source. New Orleans' offensive line has been a real strength this year, so this is something to watch moving forward. Jermon Bushrod replaced Armstead in Week 10 against the Bengals and will be […]

Doug Baldwin Is Pain-Free

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knees) has been battling knee problems all year long and hasn't been the same player he's been in years past, but he said he's finally pain-free. “Thursday last week was the first day I woke up in the morning and I didn’t feel pain,” Baldwin said. “I’ve been dealing […]

Chris Carson Will Start On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said that running back Chris Carson (hip) will continue to start on Thursday against the Packers after he sat out in Week 10. While rookie Rashaad Penny broke out for over 100 yards and his first NFL touchdown in Carson's absence last week, the Seahawks know that he is […]

Randall Cobb Won't Travel To Seattle

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) will not travel to Seattle for the game on Thursday. Cobb will miss his second straight game. He had a big game in the season opener but hasn't really done anything since and continues to miss games because of his hamstring injury. Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling […]

Chris Carson Back To Full Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) practiced in full on Tuesday after being limited on Monday. Carson was inactive in the Week 10 loss to the Rams, but he's expected to return on Thursday. With rookie Rashaad Penny going off in Carson's absence on Sunday, the Seahawks are expected to give him more work […]

Brian Snitker Awarded NL Manager Of The Year

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker was named the 2018 National League Manager Of the Year on Tuesday. Snitker led the Braves to the NL East title and received 17 first-place votes to finish ahead of Brewers manager Craig Counsell and Rockies skipper Bud Black. The Braves spent 115 days in first place in 2018 and […]
