Calvin Ridley Misses Thursday's Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) was absent during Thursday's practice session. This could put the Titans in a bad spot heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They traded veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins and fellow receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve. The absence of Ridley […]

Jake Moody Still Not Practicing With Niners

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday due to a right-ankle sprain. The 49ers have already ruled Moody out for the Week 8 contest on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The team has a bye upcoming in Week 9, so hopefully Moody will […]

Ja'Kobe Walter To Sit Out On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately, Raptors fans will have to wait a little longer before their first-round pick can take the court. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, but the Raptors aren't going to take any chances with their young […]

James Wiseman Suffers Achilles Injury

Indiana Pacers center James Wiseman (Achilles) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's season opener against the Detroit Pistons. Wiseman exited the contest after only four minutes of action due to what was being considered a calf injury. Now, it's being revealed that Wiseman suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon in the win. The team […]

RJ Barrett Doubtful For Friday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is doubtful heading into Friday's matchup with Philly. The 24-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain during the preseason and has been working his way back since. He wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers. However, Barrett practiced on Thursday, so it appears there's a shot he'll be on […]

Bucky Irving Missing From Practice Again On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (toe) was absent from a second straight practice this week on Thursday for a toe injury that could definitely impact Sunday's Week 8 contest against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Irving's status will likely come down to whether he can practice on Friday. If he cannot, he'll likely […]

IDP Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 8 - Streamers, Fades, Matchups for Defensive Players

Week 8 marks an odd time in the NFL schedule. It is a period after several teams have had their bye weeks, yet it’s a time before many others do. Despite that, Week 8 is the eye of the storm. It’s a rare moment where no NFL team is on bye … for some reason. […]

Immanuel Quickley Won't Return On Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvic) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Quickley suffered what is being called a right pelvis contusion during the second quarter of this contest. The Raptors will hold him out for the second half of this game and will likely give more […]

Noah Fant Limited With Knee Injury

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a knee injury. It's something to monitor, but as long as Fant doesn't suffer a setback later this week, we feel good about his chances of being active this Sunday […]

Jordan Whittington Ruled Out For Thursday Night

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday and was officially ruled out for the team's Thursday night showdown against the Minnesota Vikings. Whittington, a sixth-round pick out of Texas back in April, didn't exactly take advantage of both Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) being in four […]

Dean Wade Starting Against Toronto

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Raptors. Max Strus (ankle) will be sidelined for at least four weeks, so Wade will do his best to fill the void in the lineup. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old averaged only 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 32 starts last season. With that in […]

Kevin Huerter May Play Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) has a chance to play in Thursday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's been working his way back from shoulder surgery. However, head coach Mike Brown said after Tuesday's practice that Huerter "looks good," adding, "he doesn't look like he's missed a beat." Brown also indicated the 26-year-old would […]
