Bucky Irving Missing Another Practice

FOX Sports' Greg Auman reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was tagged with a DNP for Thursday's team practice. Irving was spotted in a walking boot and crutches on Wednesday, so seeing him sit again the following day wasn't all that surprising. He's considered day-to-day, and head coach Todd Bowles […]

Mike Evans Still Sidelined Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was not spotted at Thursday's team practice, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. The 32-year-old missed his fifth consecutive practice while working back from a hamstring injury, an issue he's all too familiar with at this point in his career. Tampa Bay was fortunate to have teammate […]

J.J. McCarthy Throwing Off to the Side Thursday

Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) was throwing off to the side during warm-ups, but was unable to practice on Thursday. Minnesota will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 5, and all signs are pointing to the 22-year-old missing his third consecutive contest. It's […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to Week 5's edition of our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups. Can you believe that we're nearly (essentially) a quarter of the way through the season? Time flies! Week 4 has graced us with another Monday Night Football doubleheader (NYJ/MIA, CIN/DEN), so we haven't quite mined all of this weekend's […]

Isaiah Davis Carving Out Niche in Return Game

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis drew a slightly larger workload in Monday night's 27-21 loss to the hosting Miami Dolphins after backfield mate Braelon Allen (knee) exited with injury. Davis wasn't a factor on the ground - churning out just nine yards on his three carries - but he took over Allen's work […]

Mason Taylor Emerging in Jets' Narrow Target Tree

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor again saw increased volume in his team's 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. The rookie set all new career-highs in Monday night's defeat, corralling 5-of-7 targets for 65 yards. In addition to those marks being new personal bests, they were good enough for second on […]

Brenton Strange Leads Jags in Catches for Second Straight Outing

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange pulled in 6-of-7 passes for 45 yards in his team's 26-21 win over the hosting San Francisco 49ers. Strange has been a reliable target as quarterback Trevor Lawrence has at the moment, recording exactly six receptions and seven targets in each of the previous two weeks. The 24-year-old's receiving […]

Brashard Smith Steals Snaps from Backfield Mates in Week 4 Win

Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith rushed for nine yards on four carries, adding another 27 through the air on 3-of-4 receiving in Week 4's 37-20 win against the Baltimore Ravens. He also returned two kicks for 55 additional yards. The rookie was finally utilized more in the passing game on Sunday, and played […]

Cam Robinson Heading to Cleveland

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that the Cleveland Browns are acquiring offensive tackle Cam Robinson from the Houston Texans for a late-round pick swap in 2027. Robinson was out there for 93.7% of snaps during Week 1's loss to the Rams, but only appeared on special teams snaps for the ensuing three contests. The […]

Malik Nabers to Miss Remainder of 2025 With Torn ACL

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports on Monday that tests confirmed New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) has torn his ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season. It's massively disappointing news for fantasy managers and the Giants, as Nabers will now attempt to work his way back before the start of […]

Kendre Miller Ascending in Big Easy

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller rushed for 65 yards on 11 carries and scored a touchdown in Sunday's 31- 19 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He failed to command a target in the passing game. Alvin Kamara predictably led this backfield in touches. Still, for the second straight game, Miller garnered a larger […]

Jalen Milroe Remains a Non-Factor on Offense

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe did not factor into his team's 23-20 win over the hosting Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. Milroe snuck into Seattle's thrashing of the Saints in Week 3, picking up three yards on his second tote of the season. It doesn't appear that the Seahawks will force him into the […]

Trevor Etienne to See More Snaps?

Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne could potentially see a few more snaps this weekend when his team takes on the hosting New England Patriots. Etienne has logged exactly two snaps in each of his first three appearances and two total touches thus far as he's comfortably behind teammates Chuba Hubbard (calf) and Rico Dowdle […]

Jarquez Hunter Not a Week 4 Fantasy Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter doesn't figure to make an impact in this Sunday's matchup with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The rookie has yet to make an appearance for LA on offense, although he's been out there on special teams over the last two weeks, and sported a modest increase in snaps from […]

Pat Bryant Could Be in Line for More Snaps

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant could see a modest uptick in snaps this week when his team squares off against the Cincinnati Bengals at home on Monday Night Football. Bryant is currently a distant option in Denver's WR corps, ranking fifth in snaps and amassing just two receptions for 18 yards (three targets) through […]

Brashard Smith Shouldn't Be Depended on in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith doesn't project to be a factor for fantasy when his team takes the field against the visiting Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. With teammates Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt essentially splitting all of Kansas City's backfield work, the rookie is left scraping for scraps, as he's yet to […]

Nick Folk Perfect Through Three Weeks

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk enters his Week 4 contest with the hosting Miami Dolphins perfect across all of his attempts on the season. The veteran has continued to demonstrate his reliability, drilling all five of his field goal attempts - including two from 50-plus - and is 6-for-6 on extra-point tries. New York […]

Jets D/ST Not a Recommended Week 4 Play

The New York Jets' defense/special teams shouldn't be considered for fantasy in the team's meeting with the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. New York's defensive unit has been one of the worst through three games, affording opponents an average of 31 points per contest (fourth-worst). Furthermore, they have yet to force an interception or recover […]

Tyler Johnson Drops Back to Third in Jets WR Room

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson will see his role diminish when he takes the field for Monday night's road matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The University of Minnesota product operated as the Jets' WR2 across the previous two weeks with fellow wideout Josh Reynolds nursing a hamstring injury. However, Reynolds will return in […]

Josh Reynolds to Resume WR2 Duties Vs. Dolphins

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds will head into Week 4's contest with the Miami Dolphins sans an injury designation after back-to-back full practices. Reynolds missed the previous two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury leading up to the team's Week 2 loss to Buffalo, but he's ready to rock for an excellent […]

Mason Taylor on Fantasy Watch Ahead of Week 4

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor will get another opportunity in Week 4 to seize a larger role in his team's offense when they square off with the hosting Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The rookie is far and away the team's leader in snaps at tight end, and he finally saw a […]

Braelon Allen Unreliable Despite Juicy Matchup

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen remains a steady on-field contributor, but won't be a viable fantasy option for Week 4's Monday night road meeting with the Miami Dolphins. The 21-year-old out-produced backfield mate Breece Hall on the ground in their loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend (30-21) despite garnering three fewer […]

Garrett Wilson Poised to Feast on Burnable Dolphins Defense

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson gets a smash matchup in Week 4 when he lines up with the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old has been New York's most productive player thus far, and it hasn't mattered whether it's been quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor peppering him with targets. Wilson's […]

Breece Hall Breakout on Tap?

New York Jets running back Breece Hall enters Monday's outing with the Miami Dolphins as an interesting breakout candidate in a vulnerable matchup. Hall had a strong performance in Week 1, totaling 145 scoreless yards across 23 total opportunities (2-of-4 receiving). However, his efficiency on the ground has waned since then (3.1 YPC). That may […]

Justin Fields Looks to Rebound on Monday Night Against Suspect Dolphins D

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will make his return after a one-week absence for Monday's road matchup with the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Fields was knocked out of New York's 30-10 loss to the Bills with a concussion and missed the ensuing week while he cleared protocol. The last time we saw the 26-year-old, he […]

Chuba Hubbard Dons Leg Sleeve to Close Out the Week

The Charlotte Observer's Alex Zietlow reports that Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) is warming up for Friday's practice, fitted with a compression sleeve on his leg. Hubbard was a surprise addition on Thursday's practice report after picking up a calf injury, but it's a positive sign to see him back out there the […]

Chris Godwin Returns to Practice, Expected to Play in Week 4?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) is practicing Friday and "looks fine," according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. It wasn't specifically stated in what capacity the Penn State product practiced, but it's excellent news after he was tagged with a DNP the day prior. Godwin is trending toward making his return to the […]

Jayden Daniels Not Spotted at Practice on Friday

According to The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) was not seen at Friday's practice. It's unfortunate news after the second-year signal-caller was able to log limited sessions the previous two days. Daniels was trending in the right direction for a bit, but a DNP on Friday makes this situation more murky […]

Terry McLaurin Misses Another Practice, Unlikely to Play on Sunday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) was not spotted at Friday's practice, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Three straight DNPs spell trouble for the veteran, as it seems highly unlikely that he'll be available for Sunday's outing with the hosting Atlanta Falcons. It's unfortunate news for McLaurin, who has started the season off […]

Nick Bosa to Undergo ACL Surgery on Friday

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch noted on Friday that edge rusher Nick Bosa (knee) will undergo a procedure to repair his torn ACL. Reportedly, the 27-year-old will again have his surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who handled the procedure on his left knee in 2020, as well as some of his teammates'. […]
