Rams Expected To Sign Sam Ficken

The Los Angeles Rams are expected to re-sign kicker Sam Ficken with Greg Zuerlein (groin) injured, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. With Zuerlein out for Week 2, the Rams converted three two-point conversions and had punter Johnny Hekker kick an extra point and a 20-yard field goal. The Rams aren't putting Zuerlein on Injured […]

Panthers Run Defense Has Struggled

The Carolina Panthers run defense stood out as a weakness in their 31-24 Week 2 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Atlanta snapped the team's 21-game streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher when Tevin Coleman ran for 107 yards in place of the injured Devonta Freeman (knee). Rookie Ito Smith even had five yards […]

Browns Working Out Kickers Monday

The Cleveland Browns are working out kickers on Monday, including free agents Blair Walsh and Cairo Santos, according to sources. This comes after Browns current kicker Zane Gonzalez missed two field goals and two extra points in the Week 2 loss to the Saints. His missed 52-yard attempt with less than 10 seconds in the […]

Cardinals Could Make Sweeping Changes

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that the team will evaluate the entire team after getting outscored 58-6 in their first two games. "I'm not going to sit here and say right after the game what we're going to do from a personnel standpoint," Wilks said. "But I will say this, everybody will be […]

Todd Gurley Scores Three TDs Before Leaving With Cramps

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley left the game in Week 2 against the Cardinals with some cramping and didn't return in a 34-0 blowout win. He had just 73 total yards on the day and wasn't very effective on the ground (2.2 yards per carry), but he saved his fantasy owners with three […]

Tyler Mahle Having Start Skipped

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) is dealing with some tenderness in his shoulder and will be replaced in the rotation by Michael Lorenzen on Tuesday against the Brewers. It'll be Lorenzen's first start since 2015, so he's unlikely to last long and should be avoided by fantasy owners in a tough matchup nonetheless. […]

Tyler Skaggs To Come Off DL And Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (groin) is scheduled to come off the disabled list on Tuesday to start against the A's. Skaggs should be picked up in most mixed leagues if he's available on the waiver wire. He is 8-8 with a 3.78 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 123 strikeouts in 116 2/3 innings […]

Shohei Ohtani Tweaks Ankle Sunday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (ankle) tweaked his left ankle sliding into second base on Sunday. Manager Mike Scioscia downplayed the injury, but Ohtani's ankle was heavily wrapped in the clubhouse after the game. The Angels have an off day on Monday, but the Angels could surely play it cautious and hold him […]

David Fletcher Could Miss Rest Of Season

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hamstring) will be evaluated on Monday after leaving the game early on Sunday with a left hamstring strain, but manager Mike Scioscia isn't optimistic about Fletcher's chances of returning this year with limited games left. The rookie had a double in his only plate appearances on Sunday and pulled […]

Kyle Schwarber Won't Travel With Team

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) will not travel with the team for their series against the Diamondbacks. However, Schwarber should be ready to return to the starting lineup on Friday against the White Sox. It'll be well over a week since Schwaber played in a game when he returns to […]

Daniel Palka Injured But Homers Twice

Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka (knee) jammed and "tweaked" the left side of his knee in the game on Sunday and is day-to-day, according to manager Rick Renteria. Renteria also said that Palka "seems fine." Palka had two home runs (both solo shots) and a strikeout in four plate appearances in the game on […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Be Fine

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) is expected to be fine, and manager Alex Cora expects the star outfielder to play on Tuesday against the Yankees. Betts left the game early on Sunday with an injury, but his fantasy owners can let out a huge sigh of relief. One of the most exciting and […]

Rico Gathers Active On Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers is active in Week 2 against the Giants on Sunday night. Gathers was a healthy scratch in Week 1, but this time it'll be rookie Dalton Schultz inactive instead. While Gathers probably has the most upside of this tight end group, he'll be behind Geoff Swaim and Blake Jarwin […]

Darius Slay Suffers Concussion In Week 2

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the 49ers and did not return to the contest. Detroit's lackluster defense would be way worse without their All-Pro cornerback on the field. You can stay far away from the Lions defense/special teams in fantasy leagues.

Trey Flowers, Patrick Chung Suffer Concussions Sunday

New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) and safety Patrick Chung (concussion) both left the game in Week 2 with concussions and didn't return. Chung was replaced by Duron Harmon. Flowers is a top IDP defensive end and could be in danger of missing a game or two. The same goes for Chung. If […]

Dan Bailey Waiting For Right Team

Free-agent place kicker Dan Bailey said he is waiting for the "right team" to sign, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source also said he has turned down four "very good offers." Vikings rookie Daniel Carlson missed three field goals in a tie in Week 2 against the Packers and could […]

Greg Zuerlein Doesn't Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams place kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) was injured before the Week 2 game against the Cardinals and did not play. The Rams used running back Todd Gurley on two two-point conversions in the first half. Punter Johnny Hekker handled kickoffs and had a 20-yard field goal in the second quarter. It remains unclear […]

Cowboys Not Interested In Josh Gordon

The Dallas Cowboys are not interested in signing Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon if he is released on Monday, according to a source. Instead, the Cowboys plan on signing free-agent Brice Butler on Monday. It's saying something with Cole Beasley being the most targeted receiver in Week 1. Gordon has heaps of potential, but […]

Jets Interested In Josh Gordon

The New York Jets are interested in Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, but they are just doing their due diligence. A trade of Brown to the Jets still appears unlikely. If a team doesn't trade for Gordon by Monday, the Browns are expected to release him. Gordon is a high-end wide receiver talent, but […]

Larry Fitzgerald's Injury Is Minor

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald's (hamstring) injury is "minor." The team will re-evaluate him on Monday. Fitz had only three catches for 28 yards in the 34-0 drubbing at the hands of the Rams. The veteran wideout should be fine for next week, but with Arizona's offense looking […]

Dalvin Cook Dealt With Cramp In Overtime

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) said his hamstring issue late in the Week 2 game against the Packers was just a cramp. He should be fine for Week 3 against the Bills in an excellent matchup. Cook had 10 rushes for 38 yards and also caught three passes for 52 yards in the […]

Jose Urena Leaves Start With Hand Injury

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena (hand) left his start early on Sunday with a right hand cramp. The Marlins pulled Urena for precautionary reasons, so this doesn't look like an injury that would keep Urena from making his next start. The right-hander has been much better of late and allowed three hits and one […]

Seung Hwan Oh Close To Returning

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh (hamstring) is close to returning to the team. Oh has a 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 9.7 K/9 in 17 2/3 innings for the Rockies this year, but he isn't much of a fantasy factor with no chance for saves in Colorado. He can continue being ignored in […]

Chance Sisco Leaves Early Sunday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (head) left the game early on Sunday after taking a foul tip to his mask. He is being evaluated for a concussion. Sisco had gone 0-for-2 and was making just his third start since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 3. Austin Wynns took over behind the plate. […]

Tyler Skaggs Lined Up To Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (groin) is scheduled to start on Wednesday against the A's. Skaggs has a 3.78 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 123 K's in 116 2/3 innings over 21 starts this year, so he's certainly attractive to fantasy owners when he's on the mound. However, he could be limited a bit […]

Mookie Betts Injured Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) left the game early on Sunday with left side soreness. Betts was on the disabled list from May 29 to June 11 with an abdominal strain on his left side, so this is very concerning for one of the best overall players in baseball. He was hitless in […]

Calais Campbell Will Play Against New England

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Patriots. Campbell was listed as questionable on Sunday morning but will be able to suit up in a big matchup against New England. Campbell is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and will create headaches for Pats quarterback […]

Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel Active For Patriots

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) are both active in Week 2 against the Jaguars. Both running backs were expected to play. It makes this backfield even more complicated alongside James White, who could see a surprising amount of touches. Burkhead and White are RB3/flex options in PPR leagues, […]

Jay Ajayi Returns To Action

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (back) returned in the second half of the Week 2 game against the Buccaneers after suffering a back injury on his first carry of the game. This is good news for an Eagles squad that also lost receiver Mike Wallace to a potentially serious injury […]

Leonard Fournette Is Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 2 against the Patriots, according to a source. Make sure you pull him out of your lineups for Week 2 if you haven't already. In his absence, T.J. Yeldon should see the lion's share of the work in the backfield, with Corey Grant […]
