Roger Lewis Released By Giants

The New York Giants released wide receiver Roger Lewis on Saturday, according to a source. He was third on the team last year with 416 receiving yards and at times was the team's top wideout with Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard injured.

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (concussion) has made progress and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks. Engram should be good to go for the season opener, and fantasy owners will want to throw him into their lineups despite the tough matchup. There won't be as many […]

David Johnson Unlikely To Get New Deal Before Season

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson and the team are far apart in talks for a new deal and an extension isn't expected to happen before the season opener, according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora. Johnson is scheduled to make $1.88 million in base salary in the final year of his rookie deal. He […]

Jets Release Charcandrick West, Taylor Bertolet

The New York Jets released running back Charcandrick West and place kicker Taylor Bertolet this weekend as they trimmed their final roster down to 53 players. West was just signed at the end of August. Bilal Powell, rookie Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire will fill in behind Isaiah Crowell in the backfield. Bertolet's release signals […]

Steelers Release Landry Jones

The Pittsburgh Steelers released quarterback Landry Jones this weekend. The Steelers decided to go with rookie Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs as the backups to Ben Roethlisberger. Jones played in parts of three games last year and had one touchdown and one interception in 28 pass attempts.

Matt Barkley Placed On IR

The Cincinnati Bengals placed quarterback Matt Barkley (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Sunday. He won't be eligible to return until after Week 8. Jeff Driskel will be the primary backup to Andy Dalton heading into Week 1.

Markus Wheaton, Kamar Aiken Among Roster Casualties

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receivers Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken, quarterback Joe Callahan and running back Matt Jones as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players this weekend. It's a bit surprising that both Wheaton and Aiken were let go with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) set to miss the first couple weeks of the […]

Tom Savage Doesn't Survive Final Cuts

The New Orleans Saints released quarterback Tom Savage this weekend after they traded for Teddy Bridgewater this week. The writing was on the wall for Savage once the team acquired Bridgewater. Taysom Hill will be the No. 3 behind Bridgewater and Drew Brees.

Browns Release Devon Cajuste

The Cleveland Browns released tight end Devon Cajuste on Sunday. Cajuste had been impressing in training camp and the preseason, so it's a minor surprise that he didn't make the final roster. The Browns will go with David Njoku, Darren Fells, Orson Charles and Seth DeValve.

Cardale Jones Waived

The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.

Matt Kalil Put On IR, Daryl Williams Returns To Practice

The Carolina Panthers placed left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Sunday. Kalil underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee after consulting with Dr. James Andrews. Kalil is eligible to return after Week 8. Meanwhile, right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) returned to practice on Sunday after dislocating his right patella and tearing […]

Joe Webb Re-Signs With Texans

The Houston Texans re-signed quarterback Joe Webb on Sunday, according to his agent, David Canter. Webb will join Brandon Weeden as the backups to Deshaun Watson. Webb is completely off the fantasy radar.

Mike Gillislee To Sign With Saints

Free-agent running back Mike Gillislee will sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after being cut by the Patriots on Saturday, according to a source. This move makes sense after the team also cut Jonathan Williams on Saturday. Mark Ingram will also serve a four-game suspension to open the year, so […]

Nelson Cruz Dealing With Bone Bruise

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz (foot) is dealing with a bone bruise on his foot after fouling a ball off his foot on Saturday night, according to manager Scott Servais. However, Cruz plans to play through the injury with the team trying to make the playoffs in the final month. The big bopper had […]

Braves Acquire Preston Tucker On Sunday

The Atlanta Braves acquired outfielder Preston Tucker from the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations. Tucker started the year with the Braves but was traded to the Reds. He's hit a combined .240/.302/.429 with six home runs and 27 RBI in 79 total games. Tucker will just be a bench bat for […]

Ryan LaMarre Injured Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Ryan LaMarre (hip) left the game early on Sunday with right hip soreness after six innings. He is listed as day-to-day. LaMarre had a single, run scored and strikeout in four plate appearances before departing. He's batting .281 with just two home runs and 15 RBI in 61 games this year. […]

Andrew Triggs Likely To Begin Rehab Assignment This Week

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Andrew Triggs (arm) is likely to go on a rehab assignment with High-A Stockton this week. Triggs has been out since May 17 and had an ERA above 5.00 in his nine starts before his injury. The right-hander really won't be much of a fantasy option if he becomes an option […]

Brett Anderson To Throw Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) might throw three innings off a mound on Monday. The left-hander might not miss a ton of time after being put on the disabled list last week. Anderson is 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 65 innings over 13 starts for the A's […]

Julio Urias Struggling In Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias has had mixed results in the minors while recovering from left shoulder surgery last year. His most recent outing last Friday was cut short after just three hitters due to his pitch count. The optimism of Urias helping out the Dodgers bullpen to close out the year is […]

Ross Stripling Eyeing Friday Return

The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Ross Stripling (back) are planning a return from the disabled list this Friday. He had an "up-and-down" two-inning bullpen session on Sunday and will throw a simulated game on Tuesday before coming off the DL on Friday. Stripling has been great for the Dodgers this year, going 8-3 […]

Marco Gonzales Could Rejoin Rotation Next Weekend

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (neck) is progressing and could throw off a mound for a bullpen session on Monday. If he avoids setbacks, Gonzales could rejoin the rotation next weekend. The southpaw hurler has been decent overall but was terrible in August before his injury. Fantasy owners will probably […]

J.D. Martinez To Miss A Day Or Two

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez will receive either a day or two off in the series in Atlanta against the Braves this week. With no designated hitter in a National League park, this is the perfect time to get Martinez some rest. Martinez has been a fantasy beast, hitting .335/.405/.647 with 39 long balls, […]

Ryan Rua Receives Injection

Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua (back) received an anti-inflammatory injection on Friday to help relieve back stiffness. He was taken off his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Thursday when he suffered a setback. Rua may not be able to make it back at all again this year after his latest setback. He has hit […]

Jeffrey Springs To Start Monday

Texas Rangers pitcher Jeffrey Springs will make the start on Monday against the Angels. Pitcher Ariel Jurado will follow Springs on Monday. Springs has a 2.55 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 18 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings over 10 appearances for the Rangers bullpen this year. He had a 4.13 ERA with Double-A Frisco and […]

T.J. Rivera Done For The Year

New York Mets infielder T.J. Rivera (elbow) is out for the rest of the season, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Rivera was trying to make it back from Tommy John surgery a year ago, but he wasn't able to play at all in 2018. He hit .290 with five home runs and 27 RBI in […]

Ian Kennedy Close To Returning

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Ian Kennedy (oblique) will make one more rehab start, likely with Double-A Northwest Arkansas, in the next few days. Manager Ned Yost said he is thinking of going to a six-man rotation when Kennedy is back from the disabled list. Kennedy is just 1-8 on the year with a 5.13 […]

Jorge Soler Unlikely To Return This Year

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler (toe) suffered a setback on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha, and manager Ned Yost said Soler could be shut down for the rest of the year. "He's got edema in the bone marrow now," Yost said. "He didn't fracture it again. But he's just got to slow down. […]

Touki Toussaint To Start Monday

Atlanta Braves rookie starting pitcher Touki Toussaint will make the start on Monday against the Red Sox. Toussaint, the team's No. 7 prospect, allowed one earned run while striking out four in six innings in his first big league start back on Aug. 13 against the Marlins. He'll get a much tougher matchup in this […]

Kelvin Herrera Undergoes Surgery

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (foot) had surgery last Thursday to fix the torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot. Herrera will miss the rest of the season. He posted a 2.44 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 in 48 outings (44 1/3 innings) between the Royals and Nats this year. He also had […]

Erick Fedde To Start Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde (shoulder) will come off the 60-day disabled list to make the start against the Cardinals on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Fedde was 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 28 innings over his six starts this year for the Nats. He's definitely not a recommended streamer […]
