Trevor Cahill Attracting Interest From Handful Of Teams
Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Cahill is drawing interest from "four or five" teams after going 7-4 with a 3.76 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over 21 outings (20 starts) for the A's last season. The right-hander has been injury-prone, which keeps his value somewhat limited in mixed leagues, but Cahill can be quite underrated […...

White Sox Interested In Marwin Gonzalez
The Chicago White Sox are believed to be interested in free-agent infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez. While Gonzalez wasn't as good in 2018 as he was in 2017, he still managed 16 home runs and 68 RBI in 489 at-bats and offers fantasy owners with a variety of positions to play him at. The switch-hitter will be […...

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Broncos after missing practice the last two days.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Chiefs. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and was declining before that.

Stephen Gilmore Questionable For Week 14
New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (ankle) was added to the injury report on Friday and got in a limited practice. He's listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Dolphins.

Doug Martin, Seth Roberts Listed As Questionable
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday after he was limited on Wednesday.

Matt Bryant Questionable For Week 14
Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers.

If he sits out of this one, […...
