Eric Ebron Seeing Snap Count Plummet
Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron is having an excellent season in his first year with the Colts, ranking first on the team in catches (39), yards (463) and touchdowns (10). His 10 touchdowns ties him for sixth among all players in the NFL. He caught two touchdowns and ran one in during the Week […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAdrian Peterson Feels Refreshed
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, who has been bothered by ankle and shoulder injuries for the last few weeks, said he is feeling better than he has in quite some time this week. The Redskins have been limiting the veteran back in practices early in the week as a result. “I’m feeling good. Last […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoA.J. Green Not Practicing Thursday
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (toe) is not practicing on Thursday. Although head coach Marvin Lewis is holding out hope that Green can play in Week 11 against the Ravens, it seems like a long shot that Green will suit up. He could miss more time as well following this week. Until Green is […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTorrey Smith Works On Side Wednesday
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee), who officially did not practice on Wednesday, worked on the side for the first time in a month. It's progress for Smith, but he's still not expected to play in Week 11 against the Lions. In his absence, rookie D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel have seen more action, […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJacob deGrom Awarded Cy Young In NL
New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was named the 2018 National League Cy Young on Wednesday, beating out Nationals ace Max Scherzer and Phillies starter Aaron Nola for the award. Due to poor run support and a bad bullpen, deGrom was only able to go 10-9 on the year, but he was so overwhelmingly […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBlake Snell Named AL Cy Young Winner
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell was named the 2018 American League Cy Young winner on Wednesday. Snell beat out Astros starter Justin Verlander and Indians ace Corey Kluber for the award. The left-hander only threw 180 2/3 innings this year, with only Clayton Kershaw (198 1/3 innings) the only other starter to win […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAlex Cora Receives One-Year Extension
The Boston Red Sox signed manager Alex Cora to a one-year contract extension through the 2021 season. The deal includes a team option for the 2022 season. Cora more than deserved it after leading the team to 108 wins in the regular season and a World Series title in his first year at the helm. […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPanthers Claim Kenjon Barner Off Waivers
The Carolina Panthers claimed running back Kenjon Barner off waivers from the Patriots on Wednesday. Barner was drafted by Carolina in the sixth round of the 2013 draft, but he played just one season with them. He had 19 carries for 71 yards in five games for the Patriots this season. Barner will provide depth […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTrey Quinn Activated From Injured Reserve
The Washington Redskins activated rookie wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed cornerback Joshua Holsey to the practice squad. Quinn was the last pick of this year's draft. He will provide depth to a receiving corps that is without Paul Richardson and Jamison Crowder. However, Quinn will be highly unlikely […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAdam Thielen Limited Wednesday
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (back, calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a little strange coming off the bye week, but Thielen is in no danger of sitting out in Week 11 against the Bears in a big divisional matchup. He has been one of the best all-around players in fantasy this […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoStefon Diggs Puts In Full Practice
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (rib) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback at practice this week, Diggs should return to face the Bears on Sunday night. He missed the Week 9 game but had the Week 10 bye to rest up. Even coming off a two-week hiatus, Diggs will be […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPirates 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoIndians 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoDolphins 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMarvin 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTaywan 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoVernon 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJamison 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoKeke 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoPeyton 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris 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. […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJames 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJustin 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBengals 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJoey 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoDeonte 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRoyce 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRobert 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJoe 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 […]
