Reds Not Close To Extension For Scooter Gennett

The Cincinnati Reds and second baseman Scooter Gennett haven't made any progress in contract-extension talks after starting discussions in July. "I wouldn't expect it before the calendar turns [to 2019]," president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. "There's too much up in the air in terms of roster construction going forward. I don't think you'll […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson, who had missed two practices this week due to the death of his grandmother, returned to the team on Friday and should play in Week 14 against the Panthers. Johnson had a measly two touches last week against the Texans and three total touches the week prior, so the […]

Nationals Owner Essentially Rules Out Re-Signing Bryce Harper

Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner virtually ruled out the team re-signing outfielder Bryce Harper on Friday. The Nats offered Harper a 10-year, $300 million deal on the last day of the regular season and are unlikely to make another offer after he rejected it for a shot at the free-agent market. "Well, when we met […]

Mitch Trubisky Taken Off Final Injury Report

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full all week and has been taken off the final injury report for Week 14 against the Rams. Trubisky will return on Sunday night after missing the last two games. This was the expectation all along, and Trubisky will have QB1 upside in a game that could […]

Matt Bryant Questionable For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Bryant should be able to play against the Packers this week in a favorable matchup after being limited in practice this week. He'll be an acceptable low-end fantasy kicker if he's active. If he sits out of this one, […]

Melvin Gordon A Long Shot To Play This Week

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) missed practice all week as he rehabs from his sprained right knee. We expect he'll be ruled out later in the day for Week 14 against the Bengals. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson should again split touches in the Bolts backfield against a Bengals team that […]

A's Willing To Bring Jonathan Lucroy Back

The Oakland Athletics are focused on re-signing catcher Jonathan Lucroy to a one-year deal, according to sources, but it's unclear if he's interested in just a one-year contract. The A's don't want to give a multi-year deal to a catcher with prospect Sean Murphy waiting in the wings. They have checked in on free-agents Wilson […]

Kelvin Benjamin Not Expected To Debut In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid doesn't expect wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to play in Week 14 against the Ravens after the team signed him Thursday night. There is a possibility that Benjamin will make his debut with the team on Thursday next week against the Chargers. Benjamin will effectively be replacing Sammy Watkins […]

Danny Amendola Questionable For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against his old team, the Patriots. Amendola missed last week but should be able to return this Sunday after practicing on a limited basis all week. Amendola had seven catches for 72 yards on Nov. 11 against the Packers, but he's […]

Cordy Glenn, Vontaze Burfict Ruled Out

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (back), linebacker Vontaze Burfict (concussion) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (ankle) have all been ruled out for Week 14 against the Chargers. Glenn also missed last week against the Broncos, and quarterback Jeff Driskel had very little time to throw in the pocket. That should also be the case this […]

Josh Doctson Listed As Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (hip) is questionable for Week 14 against the Giants. Doctson did have a season-high 10 targets two games ago, but otherwise he hasn't done much with more opportunity in 2018 with Jamison Crowder missing a big chunk of the year. Doctson doesn't have more than six catches or 66 […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Added To Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Friday and was limited in practice, but he is expected to play against the Redskins. OBJ suffered the injury two weeks ago on the final play against the Eagles. Beckham has 18 targets in the last two […]

Evan Engram Will Play In Week 14

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) will return to action in Week 14 against the Redskins after missing the last two games. He was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and was taken off the final injury report. "Yeah, I'm ready to ride," Engram said. "Had a good week." Engram […]

Devonta Freeman Has Chance To Return This Year

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (groin) has been rehabbing in Philadelphia and head coach Dan Quinn isn't ruling him out for the remainder of the season. While Freeman has a shot to play before Week 17, it doesn't make much sense for the Falcons to risk re-injury after Freeman had surgery earlier this year. […]

Jonnu Smith To Miss Rest Of Season

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) will miss the rest of the season with an MCL injury, according to a source. Smith was rolled up on during Derrick Henry's 99-yard touchdown run on Thursday night. He had come on strong lately as the team's main pass-catching tight end, and he'll finish the 2018 season […]

Dodgers Could Trade Yasiel Puig

The Los Angeles Dodgers could finally trade outfielder Yasiel Puig this winter, as he's set to be a free agent after the 2019 season. Puig remains inconsistent with his production and the Dodgers have a surplus of outfielders. Los Angeles has made several attempts to trade Puig in recent seasons but couldn't find a taker. […]

T.Y. Hilton To Be Game-Time Decision

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (shoulder) will be a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Texans. However, head coach Frank Reich is "feeling somewhat optimistic" that Hilton will play in an important divisional game. We think that Hilton will suit up against a team that he usually plays really well against. The game […]

Dontrelle Inman, Mo Alie-Cox Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (shoulder) and tight end Mo Alie-Cox (calf) have both been ruled out for Week 14 against the Texans. With Inman out, Chester Rogers should see more opportunities as the No. 3 wideout, but he's a low-ceiling WR5 and should be avoided in most leagues. Alie-Cox will miss his third […]

Denzel Ward Ruled Out Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Panthers. Ward has been the team's best cornerback in his rookie season and has shown a nose for the football, so it'll certainly be a downgrade for a defense going up against a strong offense in Carolina. Ward's absence […]

Graham Gano Won't Kick In Week 14

Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Browns, according to a source. However, his injury doesn't seem to be a long-term one, so he could be back in Week 15. The Panthers signed Chandler Catanzaro on Friday, so he'll handle the kicking duties this Sunday. He wasn't […]

Xavien Howard Ruled Out Against Patriots

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Patriots. Howard is week-to-week and could also sit out next week. His absence this weekend severely limits Miami's secondary and is good news for the outlook of Patriots receiver Josh Gordon.

Isaiah Crowell, Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 14 against the Bills. ESPN's Rich Cimini says that both players should be good to go. Crowell and Anderson have battled through injuries for much of the year. Crowell […]

Sammy Watkins Out 4-6 Weeks

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) suffered a setback and is now out four to six weeks, according to a source. It means that Watkins won't be available now at least until the playoffs, meaning he won't help fantasy owners the rest of the way. It makes sense after the team signed Kelvin […]

Luis Valbuena Dies In Car Crash

Free-agent infielder Luis Valbuena and former major leaguer Jose Castillo were both killed in a car accident in Venezuela on Thursday. Both players were leaving the stadium after playing in a game in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. Authorities said their car went to the opposite side of the road while trying to avoid a […]

Angels Interested In Marwin Gonzalez

The Los Angeles Angels are believed to be interested in free-agent infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez. Gonzalez had a career-high 23 home runs in 2017 and hit .303, but he fell back to Earth last season by hitting .247/.324/.409 with 16 home runs and 68 RBI in 145 games with the Astros. He still has some notable […]

Astros Considering Josh Harrison

The Houston Astros have considered free-agent infielder Josh Harrison, who would serve as a replacement for Marwin Gonzalez at a much lower cost if they can't re-sign Gonzalez. Harrison would fill the utility role that Gonzalez handled in Houston. The 31-year-old Harrison had a bad year in 2018, hitting .250/.293/.363 with eight home runs and […]

Panthers Sign Chandler Catanzaro

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Friday with Graham Gano (knee) limited in practice on Thursday. Guard Amini Silatolu (knee) was put on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Those that own Gano need to make alternate plans this week with him being questionable after missing practice on Friday. Catanzaro made 11 […]

Keke Coutee A Game-Time Decision Again

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Colts. Coutee was also a game-time decision last week before sitting out. He seems closer to playing this week, but his status can't be taken for granted. Even if the promising […]

DeSean Jackson Not Expected To Face Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is not expected to play in Week 14 against the Saints. D-Jax has been running in practice but still can't catch passes and looks likely to miss his second straight game. There have been rumblings that the team could decide to shut him down for the rest […]

Dontrelle Inman Still Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (shoulder) remained out of practice on Friday and is highly unlikely to play in Week 14 against the Texans. Inman hasn't practiced all week. If he's out, it'll mean slightly bigger roles for Ryan Grant and Chester Rogers, although they're still not worth using in most fantasy lineups.
