A.J. Brown Misses Practice Thursday With Knee Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) popped up on the injury report Thursday after missing practice due to a knee ailment.

Darrell Henderson Jr., Tyler Higbee Sit Out Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (thigh) and tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) were both absent from Thursday's practice, throwing their status for Monday's game against Chicago into flux. This is the first of an injury concern for either, which could mean that the move was a precautionary one by the Rams with […]

Robert Tonyan Logs Second Straight Missed Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (ankle) did not practice Thursday, marking yet another day that he was unable to return in any capacity ahead of Sunday's game versus Houston. Tonyan returned to play last Sunday against the Buccaneers and hauled in three receptions for 25 yards, but he has backtracked that progress by […]

Jordan Akins Trending Toward Another Absence Sunday

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle, concussion) was held out of practice Thursday, a trend that indicates that he could miss his third consecutive game Sunday when his squad faces Green Bay. An absence by Akins would keep Darren Fells in season-long consideration as a low-end TE1 and as a high-upside selection in DFS […]

Sammy Watkins Continues To Be Sidelined Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) once again did not practice Thursday, putting his status for Sunday's contest against Denver up in the air. Watkins was considered questionable to play Monday due to a hamstring injury, with Kansas City at least leaving the door open that he could have played; his extended practice […]

Noah Fant Logs Full Practice Ahead Of Potential Return Sunday

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) was able to practice in full Thursday, a significant step in the right direction concerning his availability for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

Bills Defense Has Prime Matchup Sunday Even As Injuries Mount

The Buffalo Bills Defense gets the fortune of playing what is on track to be a decimated Jets offense Sunday.

But on their side of the ball, Josh Norman (hamstring) and Tre'Davious […]

DJ Chark Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr. Limited In Practice Thursday

For the second consecutive day Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) and Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) were both limited practice participants. Neither appears in any immediate danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Chargers, but their status is something to keep an eye on, even as Chark compiled a season-high 14 targets […]

Kyle Rudolph Available As Trade Deadline Nears?

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is a name that multiple NFL teams have reportedly asked about ahead of the trade deadline on Nov. 3, according to Albert Breer of the MMQB. Minnesota has already moved defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore, an indication that the organization could be open for making other shrewd moves […]

Jamison Crowder Held Out Of Practice Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) did not take part in Thursday's practice as he continues to work his way through a groin ailment. The only steady offensive producer that the Jets have deployed this season, Crowder has seen double-digit targets in each of the four games that he has suited up for. […]

Dallas Activates Sean Lee, Chidobe Awuzie From Injured Reserve

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hernia) and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) have both been designated to come off of Injured Reserve as soon as this Sunday versus Washington. Lee has yet to suit up for the Cowboys Defense in 2020, having been sidelined due to a sports hernia. Awuzie played in two games, collecting an […]

Jared Cook Sees Fantasy Value Take A Hit In Week 7

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook was quarterback Drew Brees’ primary red-zone threat while wide receiver Michael Thomas remained sidelined, but with the All-Pro wideout expected back Sunday versus Carolina, Cook’s time as a TE1 in season-long formats may have passed. While Cook managed to receive seven targets in Week 1 when Thomas was alongside him, […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was given a vote of confidence from head coach Mike McCarthy on Tuesday, confirming that the star running back would be the starter for Sunday’s contest against Washington.

Washington Defense In Play Sunday As Cowboys Injuries Mount

The Washington Football Team will be facing a Cowboys offensive line Sunday that has been decimated by injuries. With Tyron Smith (neck) already out, Dallas announced Tuesday that left tackle Brandon Knight (knee) already underwent surgery for a significant injury that he sustained Monday, necessitating a need for another new LT. In addition, Zack Martin […]

Russell Wilson Faces Historically Stingy Matchup Sunday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has made each of the five defenses that he has faced in 2020 look rather pedestrian on his way to becoming the favorite to claim the NFL’s MVP trophy this season. On paper, his matchup Sunday versus Arizona should be another such instance, which is backed up by his gaudy […]

Keenan Allen Carries Injury Questions Into Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (back) was last seen dealing with back spasms when he took the field versus the Saints last Monday. Despite that, head coach Anthony Lynn has reiterated that Allen will not be hampered come Sunday versus Jacksonville, a matchup that is set to work in Allen’s favor due to […]

Chris Carson Remains In Smash Spot Sunday Versus Arizona

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson should continue to see an unimpeded path to RB1 duties this Sunday against the Cardinals with both Carlos Hyde (shoulder) and Rashaad Penny (knee) unlikely to suit up. Carson was limited to just eight carries in his most recent outing, but that was primarily due to the nature of […]

Josh Jacobs Has Unenviable Matchup Coming Off Bye Week

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is likely fresh after having his week off, but that won’t change the fact that he’ll be squaring off with the NFL’s premier run-stuffing unit Sunday in the form of the Buccaneers Defense. Tampa Bay has yielded an average of just 64.3 rushing yards per contest to begin […]

Alvin Kamara Boasts Tremendous Matchup In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara costs a pretty penny in DFS for those fantasy managers who are attempting to slot him into lineups, and with good reason. Kamara is facing off against a Panthers Defense that ranks dead last in the NFL in DraftKings points per game allowed, making him arguably the top […]

Cowboys Defense Adds Randy Gregory For Week 7

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory is set to make his NFL return Sunday against Washington after he was removed from the commissioner’s exempt list Tuesday. Dallas immediately added the pass-rusher to its active roster, hoping to reclaim some of the six-sack production that he delivered for the team back in 2018. Gregory had been […]

Panthers Defense Loses Juston Burris To Injured Reserve

Carolina Panthers safety Juston Burris (ribs) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday but is expected to return at some point during the 2020 year. Burris has become an integral part of the Carolina secondary in his first season with the team, playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps in four of his first five […]

Frankie Luvu Heads To Injured Reserve With Groin Ailment

New York Jets linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin) will be out for at least the next three games after being placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to the groin injury that he sustained Sunday versus Miami.

Tae Crowder Lands On Injured Reserve

New York Giants linebacker Tae Crowder (hamstring) has been ruled out for at least the next three contests after he was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to a hamstring injury.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/20/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It was a circuitous route to get here, yet after a season chock full of potential landmines, the 2020 World Series kicks off Tuesday night. After a pair of thrilling Game 7’s left it feeling like it could have easily been the Astros and Braves taking to the diamond to crown the sport’s best in […]

Noah Fant, K.J. Hamler Have Shot At Playing Sunday

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) and wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) could both potentially return to play in Sunday’s contest versus Kansas City after missing last Sunday’s outing due to respective injuries, per head coach Vic Fangio. Fant is the more fantasy relevant of the two, having established a considerable rapport with Drew […]

David Njoku Eyes Trade Ahead Of Deadline

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is hoping to have a new home prior to the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 3 after once again reportedly asking to be traded. Njoku has been lightly used in the passing game this season by the Browns, hauling in five receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown. Back […]

Adam Gase Not Optimistic About Sam Darnold Playing Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday when his team takes on the Bills, as head coach Adam Gase was not optimistic Monday that his signal-caller would clear the necessary stages to get back on the field. It seems likely that New York will stick with veteran […]

Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Both Listed As Limited Monday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) were both listed as limited practice participants Monday ahead of Thursday’s contest versus the Giants. Both receivers were out of the equation Sunday against Baltimore, with Jackson already expected to suit up come Thursday. As for Jeffery, he would be making his season debut […]

Darius Slayton Listed As Limited Practice Participant Monday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) would have been a limited participant in Monday’s practice after having sustained a foot injury during Sunday’s contest versus Washington. Slayton hauled in his first touchdown since Week 1 in the game, but came down awkwardly on his foot after the grab. With little time to recover […]

Phillip Dorsett II Returns To Practice Monday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) could make his season debut as soon as Sunday versus Arizona after he returned to practice Monday.
