The latest verified MLB, NBA, and NFL player and team updates, newest first.
St. Brown was listed as questionable in Week 9 after practicing in a limited capacity all week. He managed to suit up on game day, posting an 8/86 receiving line. He was limited in all three practices this week and once again got hit with the questionable tag. We expect him to play. He should be treated as a WR1, as usual, assuming he is active.
Bateman is firmly on track to play in the Ravens’ Monday Night Football game against the Chargers. Bateman will provide new QB Jacoby Brissett with a downfield option, but the veteran wide receiver is almost entirely reliant in ripping off one or two big plays, which has proven to be a difficult proposition for him on a weekly basis.
Mitchell is trending in the right direction for the Chargers’ Week 10 game against the Ravens. The two teams play in this week’s Monday Night Football game. Mitchell is worth stashing in 12-team leagues, but he likely lacks RB2 upside.
Njoku is still within his 21-day practice window and has remained limited for five straight practices. He could end up playing on Monday night, but he does not need to be rostered.
Harris led the team in targets last week, but somehow managed just six yards on three catches. With Ladd McConkey (back) ailing, Harris could lead the team in targets again. He would only be a boom-bust FLEX in this case, though.
This is unfortunate. McConkey is no stranger to playing through injury, but his availability for Week 10’s Monday Night Football game appears to be in jeopardy. If active, McConkey would be a WR2, but backup plans should be made at this time.
This was the expected outcome. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters on Monday that Ferguson will likely be out for “multiple weeks” after suffering a knee injury. He was already dealing with an ankle injury when it happened. Ferguson does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats.
The Cowboys will be without their No. 2 running back, removing what little threat there was to Javonte Williams’ workload. Goodson should remain stashed on 12-team benches if possible, though he could miss next week as well.
Pickens makes his return after sitting out in Week 9. He played through the injury in Week 8, which may have been the wrong decision. The Cowboys’ No. 2 wide receiver encouragingly upgraded from limited to full participation today and can be treated as a WR2 in what should be a high-scoring game against the 49ers.
Cain is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. With Tristan da Silva (calf) also available, Cain’s opportunities may be limited, but he should still play rotation minutes.
After a two-game absence, da Silva is available for Friday’s NBA Cup matchup. Jamal Cain (shoulder) is also available, which could mean that Alex Morales falls out of the rotation.
Suggs is back after missing time to recover from a knee injury sustained in an October 25 win over the Knicks. His return could push Jase Richardson to the bench, but Suggs may have his minutes restricted in his first game back.
Joe’s absence has freed up additional minutes for fellow reserves Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green. That should remain the case on Saturday.
Williams evidently injured his shoulder during the 49ers’ practice on Thursday, as did LB Dre Greenlaw (knee). 49ers OT Vederian Lowe would be Williams’ replacement if he cannot play. 49ers starting perimeter CBs Renardo Green (back) and Deommodore Lenoir (foot), and slot DB Upton Stout (shoulder) are also questionable.
Biberović’s continued absence will not affect fantasy basketball, and he has yet to make his NBA debut.
Christie is back on the injury report, this time due to a sprained left ankle. After beginning the season as a starter, he’s played limited minutes over the last five games. Caleb Martin has started Dallas’ last four games and should retain that role, regardless of what happens with Christie.
Losing Evans for this one is a bummer. The 49ers’ and Cowboys’ offenses should facilitate a high-scoring game environment. Regardless, the 49ers are smartly prioritizing Evans’ long-term health. Whenever he returns, he is likely to be full-go. Keep him stashed on fantasy football benches.
The Cardinals will be without Froholdt, their starting center, against a Rams team that is likely to rely on its ground game and ascending defense while navigating pass-catcher injuries. This makes life a little harder for rookie QB Carson Beck, who will make his first NFL start this week.
Brooks would have a chance to assume passing-down duties if he is activated off injured reserve. That would probably quash Pierre Strong’s value more than Marshawn Lloyd or Kaleb Johnson’s, but Brooks would probably be the favorite to see the most snaps among Green Bay’s runners if active. It would be a rough FLEX play against a good Vikings defense.
Parsons got in limited sessions all week and seems to be in line to play in Week 11 assuming he can upgrade to full work. The Packers have slowplayed his return and have been rewarded as their defense has been able to play quite well without him.
