Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon Will Play Against Packers

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (ankle) and Josh Gordon (hamstring) are both active on Sunday night against the Patriots. In a likely shootout with tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) inactive, both Edelman and Gordon should be big parts of this passing attack. Edelman is a WR2 in PPR leagues, while Gordon has […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Inactive

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are both inactive for Sunday night against the Packers. Gronk has now missed two of the last three games and continues to battle injuries. He hasn't gone over 100 yards or scored a touchdown since the season opener. With […]

Randall Cobb Active Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) is active for Sunday night against the Patriots. With Geronimo Allison out, Cobb should have a bigger role, but he'll still likely be third on the receiver depth chart behind Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. In a good matchup in a likely shootout, consider Cobb an option […]

Rockies Interested In Re-Signing Adam Ottavino

Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said the team remains in contact with free-agent relief pitcher Adam Ottavino after they did not offer him a $17.9 million qualifying offer. Ottavino had a career year in 2018, posting a 2.43 ERA while ranking eighth among qualified relievers with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate. He's a dominant […]

Matt Paradis Could Be Done For The Season

There is concern that Denver Broncos center Matt Paradis (leg) suffered a fractured right fibula in Week 9 against the Texans. If that's the case, it would knock him out for the rest of the season. Paradis hadn't missed a snap as a starter dating back to 2014. It's a big loss for the Broncos […]

Ravens Want To Use Lamar Jackson More

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he'd like to find ways to use rookie quarterback Lamar Miller more moving forward. The Ravens lost their third straight game in Week 9 against the Steelers, and they'll have the bye week in Week 10 to figure out ways to improve their stagnant offense. Joe Flacco has […]

Chris Carson Doubtful To Return

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) left the game early in Week 9 against the Chargers and is doubtful to return. Carson ran the ball eight times for 40 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game before leaving. He was a game-time decision for this one after missing a game earlier this year […]

Yoan Moncada Open To Position Change

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that second baseman Yoan Moncada is open to a position change, and it has been discussed by the front office and coaching staff "but we're going to wait to see how this offseason plays out before we fully commit to any reconfiguring of the infield," Hahn said. […]

Chris Carson Will Play In Week 9

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) is active for Week 9 against the Chargers. There was some question as to whether Carson would suit up after he missed a game earlier this year with a similar injury. He'll be the team's lead back and has a decent matchup, putting him firmly in play as […]

Melvin Gordon Active Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is active for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Gordon was expected to play after practicing this week following the team's Week 8 bye. He'll return to his workhorse duties against Seattle and will be a high-end RB1. Austin Ekeler will factor in on passing downs and has […]

Royce Freeman, DaeSean Hamilton Inactive

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) and wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee) are both inactive for Week 9 against the Texans. Freeman was always a long shot to play this week after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 7. Look for him to return following the Week 10 bye against the Chargers. […]

Yankees Won't Pursue Bryce Harper

The New York Yankees "will not be in on" free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper this offseason, according to a source. The Yankees have a surplus of outfielders and also re-signed veteran Brett Gardner for 2019, so they'll make Manny Machado and pitching additions more of a priority. Harper disappointed with a .249 batting average but still […]

Denzel Ward Injured Sunday

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward (hip) left the game early in Week 9 against the Chiefs and is questionable to return. With corner E.J. Gaines (concussion) ruled out and defensive back Damarious Randall inactive, the Browns are dangerously thin in the secondary against one of the most explosive offenses in the league. The Chiefs […]

Cardinals Could Make A Play For Bryce Harper

With money to spend in free agency this year, the St. Louis Cardinals could make a push in the Bryce Harper sweepstakes this winter. There is some impatience inside the organization since it's been three years since their last playoff appearance and five years since their last National League pennant. The team and chairman Bill […]

John Harbaugh On The Hot Seat

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is on the hot seat as the team prepares for a divisional showdown against the Steelers in Week 9. Baltimore is currently in third place in the AFC North and have lost two straight games. Pressure is mounting inside the organization on Harbaugh, according to sources. A midseason coaching […]

Steelers Could Use Transition Tag On Le'Veon Bell In 2019

If Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell were to skip the entire 2018 season, the team would strongly consider using the franchise or transition tag on him in 2019, according to a source. Some sources think Bell could be transitioned at as low as the 2019 running back transition number of around $9 million. Bell […]

Concern Surrounding Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel

The New England Patriots will test tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) in pre-game workouts Sunday night, but there is concern about whether they will be able to play against the Packers, according to sources. Both players are listed as questionable on the injury report. Gronk missed Week 7 […]

Paul Richardson, Kapri Bibbs Active

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) and running back Kapri Bibbs (shoulder) are both active for Week 9 against the Falcons. With Richardson active, Brian Quick is a healthy scratch. Richardson will effectively be the team's No. 1 wideout with Jamison Crowder still out, but he is still more of a low-ceiling WR4/flex […]

Dalvin Cook Making His Return Against Detroit

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is officially active for Week 9 against the Lions. It will be Cook's first action since Sept. 27 against the Rams. As such, the Vikings are expected to ease him back into action behind Latavius Murray, who has been great the last few weeks in Cook's absence. Because […]

Stefon Diggs Officially Out In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) has officially been ruled out for Week 9 against the Lions. With the team going on bye in Week 10, it makes sense for them to rest Diggs. In his absence, Adam Thielen will be an even bigger target hog and Laquon Treadwell and tight end Kyle Rudolph […]

Ezekiel Ansah, Darius Slay Active Against Vikes

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and top cornerback Darius Slay (knee) are both active for Week 9 against the Vikings. It will be Ansah's first game since being injured in the season opener and it's a big boost for their pass rush, although Ansah is a risky IDP play in his first game […]

Alex Collins Active For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) is active for Week 9 against the Steelers. As a result, newly-acquired running back Ty Montgomery is a healthy scratch, as well as tight end Maxx Williams. The Ravens will roll with Collins and Javorius Allen once again. Collins is the clear workhorse but is a touchdown-dependent RB2 […]

Kenny Stills Active, A.J. Derby Out

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) is active against the Jets in Week 9, while tight end A.J. Derby (foot) will miss another game. Stills was a game-time decision but will give it a go on Sunday. His return after a one-game absence is bad news for Devante Parker and Danny Amendola, but Stills […]

Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson Playing Against Dolphins

New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Robby Anderson (ankle) are both active for Week 9 against the Dolphins. It's a huge boost to New York's passing game and quarterback Sam Darnold, although Darnold remains more of a QB2 for fantasy owners. Both Enunwa and Anderson will be risky fantasy plays this weekend […]

Antonio Callaway, Rashard Higgins Active Against Chiefs

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Antonio Callaway (ankle) and Rashard Higgins (knee) are both active for Week 9 against the Chiefs. It's good news for rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield as they go for the big upset. Callaway has plenty of upside but has been way too inefficient for fantasy owners to trust as anything more than […]

Justin Houston Remains Out In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) is once again inactive in Week 9 against the Browns. Houston is getting close to a return, but he won't make it back this Sunday. They probably won't need him against the Browns with the way Dee Ford has been playing of late. KC's defense might be worth […]

Gerald McCoy, Vinny Curry Active Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (calf) and defensive end Vinny Curry (ankle) are both active for Week 9 against the Panthers. Tampa's defense is still unplayable for fantasy purposes, but the presence of McCoy and Curry on the defensive line at least boosts their presence up front. It's a slight downgrade for Panthers […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Out Against Bills

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both out for Week 9 against the Bills. It'll be their second straight missed game. Wide receiver Kevin White is also a healthy scratch. With A-Rob out again, it'll mean more targets for Taylor Gabriel and rookie Anthony Miller, as well […]

A.J. Green Expected To Miss Some Games

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (toe), who is currently in a walking boot, is expected to miss "some games," according to a source. He is scheduled to meet with Dr. Robert Anderson this week to diagnose his foot injury and they will figure out if surgery is needed. The Bengals are on their bye […]

Demaryius Thomas To Start In Debut

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is expected to start alongside DeAndre Hopkins in his team debut in Week 9 against his former team, the Denver Broncos. Hopkins has helped Thomas get up to speed quickly on the team's playbook. It doesn't sound like Thomas will have his snaps limited at all as he attempts […]
