Chase Edmonds Active Against Vikings
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Chase Edmonds (back) is active in Week 6 against the Vikings. He'll continue to fight for scraps behind starter David Johnson. Edmonds doesn't have any standalone fantasy value. Quarterback Sam Bradford, running back T.J. Logan and wide receivers Trent Sherfield and Kendall Wright are all healthy scratches.
Eric Ebron, Darius Leonard Active Against Jets
Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) and rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) are both active in Week 6 against the Jets. Ebron is dealing with an assortment of injuries, but he should remain heavily involved with receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end Jack Doyle still out. Ebron is a high-end TE1. […]
Martavis Bryant Will Play Against Seahawks
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (illness) is active for Week 6 in London against the Seahawks. Bryant will play in a game in which he could break out as the deep threat for the Oakland offense. However, Bryant remains more of a boom/bust WR4/flex option in standard-scoring leagues. His presence limits the upside of […]
Nick Vannett, C.J. Prosise Inactive In London
Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett (back) and running back C.J. Prosise are inactive for Week 6 against the Raiders in London. With Vannett out, the Seahawks will be forced to roll with Darrell Daniels and Tyrone Swoopes at the position. Neither player is worth considering as a desperation flier in fantasy leagues. Prosise remains […]
Adrian Peterson, Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson Active
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, knee, shoulder) and wide receivers Josh Doctson (heel) and Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are all active in Week 6 against the Panthers. The only healthy pass-catcher, ironically, is tight end Jordan Reed, so he could be in line for a heavy target share. At less than 100 percent, […]
John Ross Officially Ruled Out
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Steelers for the second straight week. Ross was able to practice all week, but the Bengals remain cautious with the speedster. As a result, A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd should see more targets, with Alex Erickson filling in as […]
Chris Thompson, Jamison Crowder Ruled Out
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Panthers. The Redskins are extremely banged up on offense this week. With Thompson out, Adrian Peterson, who is also hobbled, will be the main back, but Kapri Bibbs should serve in a […]
Isaiah Crowell Active On Sunday
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle) is active for Week 6 against the Colts. Crowell ran for over 200 yards against the Broncos last week, so perhaps he was a little banged up from that. Regardless, he will play this Sunday and has a good matchup against the Colts defense. While he'll split […]
Greg Olsen Playing Against Redskins
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is active for Week 6 against the Redskins. It'll be his first game since re-fracturing his foot in the season opener. Olsen is at risk of re-injury and having his snaps limited, but given the weakness of the position, he'll be on the low-end TE1 radar. When he's […]
O.J. Howard Active Against Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is active for Week 6 against the Falcons. It's a very favorable matchup against a beat up Atlanta defense, but Howard could be limited in his first game back. Given the weak landscape of tight ends, Howard is still in play as a low-end TE1. His return […]
Ryan Tannehill Ruled Out Against Bears
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bears. Backup Brock Osweiler will start in his place against a fierce Chicago defense that is well-rested coming off their bye week. Osweiler is at best a low-end QB2, and all of Miami's offensive weapons around him should be downgraded […]
Dalvin Cook Out In Week 6
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is out in Week 6 against the Cardinals. It's a bit of a surprise, as Cook was expected to play but have his snaps limited. But the Vikings chose to rest him for another weak in a very winnable game against the lowly Cardinals. With Cook out, Latavius […]
O.J. Howard Expected To Play
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is expected to play despite being listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Falcons, according to a source. Howard could be limited, but he should play and steal snaps from Cameron Brate, who is more of a red-zone weapon. Howard will be a little more risky […]
Browns Likely To Use Tight Ends More In Week 6
With Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Derrick Willies (collarbone) on Injured Reserve and Rashard Higgins (knee) out two to four weeks, the team will likely have increased repetitions for tight ends David Njoku, Seth DeValve and Darren Fells in Week 6 against the Chargers. Running back Duke Johnson should also be more involved in the […]
John Ross May Sit Out Second Straight Game
ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell thinks that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) will sit out for a second straight week in Week 6 against the Steelers after practicing all week. Ross looked to be on track all week to return on Sunday, so he might be a game-time decision. As Cincy's third receiver that has […]
George Kittle, Pierre Garcon Questionable Against Packers
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) were both limited in practice on Saturday and are questionable against the Packers on Monday night. Both players are expected to play, but Garcon will be at less than 100 percent and could be limited. With receivers Trent Taylor doubtful […]
Matt Breida Will Be Game-Time Decision
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said running back Matt Breida (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Monday against the Packers. Breida was limited in practice on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable. It's a good sign that Breida was able to practice after sitting out on Thursday and Friday, but he […]
Brock Holt, Steve Pearce Starting In Game 1
Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt and first baseman Steve Pearce are both in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against Astros ace Justin Verlander on Saturday. Holt is at second base and is hitting sixth, while Pearce is at first base and is batting fifth. Holt hit for […]
Greg Olsen To Play Sunday
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is set to start in Week 6 against the Redskins, according to a team source. Olsen hasn't had any setbacks so far. It'll be Olsen's first action since he re-fractured his foot in the season opener. Despite the fact that he could be limited, Olsen is a low-end […]
Josh Hader Won't Pitch In Game 2
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader will not pitch in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Saturday after pitching three clean innings in the Game 1 win on Friday. Hader led all of baseball and set a franchise relief record with 143 regular season strikeouts. Manager Craig Counsell only […]
Pierre Garcon Expected To Play Against Packers
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder), who hasn't practiced this week, is likely to play in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night. “Guys have to step up and play in that position, also. Pierre has missed the week of practice, so I know he’s not going into it 100 percent. […]
Trent Taylor Won't Play On Monday
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor (back) will not play on Monday night against the Packers due to a back condition, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Taylor had offseason back surgery to remove bone spurs from his back and has only 16 catches for 125 yards and a touchdown in five games this […]
Jaguars Hosting Thomas Rawls Saturday
The Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting free-agent running back Thomas Rawls for a tryout on Saturday. The team is looking for some depth behind T.J. Yeldon with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) possibly out until Week 10. The Jags already signed Jamaal Charles, David Williams and Bo Scarbrough though, so Rawls would be just a short-term fix.
Blue Jays Have Long List Of Managerial Candidates
The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing their long list of managerial candidates to interview. The process could begin as soon as next week with face-to-face meetings. External candidates that are receiving consideration include Astros bench coach Joe Espada, Giants farm director David Bell, Dodgers third base coach Chris Woodward, Indians first base coach Sandy Alomar […]
Luis Robert Injured In AFL
Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Luis Robert (leg) hurt his leg while playing for the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League on Friday. The good news is that he walked off the field under his own power. Robert is the team's fourth-ranked prospect and No. 44 overall in baseball and was 1-for-3 before […]
Hunter Greene Not Expected To Need Tommy John Surgery
Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Hunter Greene (elbow), the team's No. 2 prospect, is not expected to need Tommy John surgery after spraining the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow earlier this year. Greene was the second overall pick in the 2017 draft. His arm has been feeling good and he hopes to begin throwing in […]
Travis Shaw, Erik Kratz Starting Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw and catcher Erik Kratz are both in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu. Shaw is playing second base and hitting sixth, while Kratz is behind the plate and is hitting seventh. Neither player has ever faced Ryu. Shaw hit […]
Yasiel Puig, Austin Barnes Starting In Game 2
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and catcher Austin Barnes are starting in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against Brewers left-hander Wade Miley on Saturday. Cody Bellinger and Yasmani Grandal will start on the bench. Puig is in right field and is hitting seventh, while Barnes is behind the plate and batting […]
Mitch Moreland Makes ALCS Roster
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will be on the roster for the American League Championship Series against the Astros despite dealing with a sore hamstring that he aggravated in Game 2 of the Division Series. Moreland said he thinks he can contribute despite not being able to run at regular speed. Expect […]
Derrick Willies Placed On Injured Reserve
The Cleveland Browns placed rookie wide receiver Derrick Willies (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he broke his collarbone in practice on Friday. Breshad Perriman was signed to the active roster in a corresponding move. It's a tough break for Willies, as he made an impact in the team's Week 5 overtime win and […]
