Tevin Coleman Unlikely To Return Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (knee) is not expected to return to the field in time for Sunday’s game against the Patriots, with a likely return set for Week 8 versus Seattle. Coleman’s role in the offense took an increased interest Monday with the announcement that Raheem Mostert (ankle) would be headed toward […]

Sterling Shepard Could Return As Soon As Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (toe) could get back on the field as soon as Thursday’s contest versus Philadelphia, as head coach Joe Judge indicated that Shepard’s status could be determined during a pre-game workout. Shepard has missed the team’s previous four contests with turf toe, with a small window of activation from […]

Raheem Mostert Likely Heading To Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) is “most likely” headed toward a stint on the Injured Reserve due to a high ankle sprain, per 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. Mostert had just worked his way back from a knee injury but will now miss considerable time with another lower-body injury, paving the way […]

Chiefs Defense Loses Alex Okafor For Second Half Monday

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Alex Okafor (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday’s contest versus Buffalo after exiting in the first half with a hamstring injury. Additionally, offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz (back) has also been ruled out, further hampering the Kansas City o-line. Okafor made his sixth tackle of the season […]

Ty Montgomery Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery (hamstring) is nearing a return to action, potentially as soon as Sunday versus Carolina after he was designated to return off of Injured Reserve Monday. Montgomery has appeared in just two games for the Saints this season, carrying the ball once and netting two receptions in a […]

Carolina Places Michael Schofield On Reserve/COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Michael Schofield (illness) was placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after participating in Sunday’s game versus Chicago. The reserve lineman logged five special teams snaps, and missed practice as recently as last week for what the team designated as a non-injury circumstance. With two Panthers offensive linemen now on the […]

Jerry Jeudy In Line For Increase In Targets Sunday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as an appealing DFS selection and medium-sized or larger WR3/Flex play for Sunday. Jeudy will have the difficulty of facing off against a stout New England secondary, but with Courtland Sutton (knee), Noah Fant (ankle), and KJ Hamler (hamstring) all out of the equation, the returning Drew […]

Jon Brown Not A Fantasy Asset In NFL Debut Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be making his NFL debut Sunday, marking the fifth different kicker than the team has utilized already in 2020. Having previously served as a kickoff specialist with Cincinnati, Brown has not attempted an in-game field goal during the regular season, thereby making him the riskiest of options from a […]

Carolina Expects Curtis Samuel To Suit Up Sunday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is on the right side of his questionable tag for Sunday’s matchup against Chicago. Despite having carved out a modest role in the Panthers’ passing game, Samuel has not yet found the end zone in 2020, making him difficult to roster Sunday against a stout Bears Defense. In […]

DeSean Jackson On Track To Return For Thursday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) may be out for Sunday’s contest versus Baltimore, but he is apparently close enough to action that he is expected to return for Thursday’s game against the Giants. Jackson’s return will be a welcome addition for a wide-receiving corps that will rely on Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham […]

Bears Defense Puts Sacking Prowess To Test Sunday

The Chicago Bears Defense entered the year as one of the premier units in the league, but a few lackluster performances early on in the season diminished their stock. They have combined for 11 sacks in their first five games, 3.5 of which have come at the hands of Khalil Mack. That sacking prowess gets […]

Sam Darnold Out Sunday; Joe Flacco Will Start Again

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s contest versus Miami, allowing veteran signal caller Joe Flacco to step in for the second consecutive week. Darnold had been optimistic about returning to the field earlier in the week, but his sprained right AC joint has not healed in time. […]

Melvin Gordon III Not Facing In-House Suspension From DUI

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III is sitting out Sunday’s contest versus New England due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was also arrested earlier in the week on DUI charges. In the wake of the incident, the Broncos do not plan to levy a fine or to suspend Gordon beyond what the U.S. […]

NFL Announces No New COVID-19 Positives; All Sunday Games On

After a rollercoaster week of positive COVID-19 announcements from players and coaches alike, the NFL announced Sunday morning: play football. The league came back with no new positive tests ahead of kickoff around the league, with all games given the green light to take place. Fantasy managers can deploy any and all healthy players with […]

Eagles Defense Likely To Get Darius Slay For Sunday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has cleared the league’s concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sunday’s game versus Baltimore. With Avonte Maddox (ankle) already out, the Eagles Defense will benefit immensely from having Slay, particularly when facing the high-octane Ravens offense. Slay made a season-high eight tackles last week prior to his […]

Jacksonville Delivers No New Positive COVID-19 Tests Sunday

The game scheduled for Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars will go on as planned after the Jaguars announced Sunday morning that they had no new positive COVID-19 tests. Despite having 12 practice squad players (and defensive end Josh Mauro) placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jacksonville has gotten multiple negative tests from […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Will Be Inactive Again Sunday

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) will not be on the team’s active roster for Sunday’s contest versus the Giants as he continues to battle a non-COVID-19 illness. Kyle Allen will hold down starting QB duties, with Alex Smith serving as his back-up. It’s unclear how the Washington QB situation will shake out […]

Breshad Perriman Expects To Suit Up Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) is on track to return to the lineup for Sunday’s contest versus Miami. Perriman has missed each of New York’s three previous contests, with his return giving former teammate Joe Flacco a deep threat against the Dolphins’ secondary. Optimism does not abound surrounding the Jets’ offense, which […]

Drew Lock Should Make Expected Return As Starter Sunday

Signs had been pointing toward Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) returning to the field as the starter for Sunday’s game versus New England, and that appears to be the case, barring a last-minute setback. Lock last appeared in Week 2 before a shoulder injury forced him to cede way to a combination of Jeff […]

Baker Mayfield Gets Thumbs Up To Start Versus Steelers

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) will suit up for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, a confirmation of his own status that he provided earlier in the week. Mayfield is battling sore ribs, which could be a target against a defense as aggressive as the Steelers’. Working in Mayfield’s favor is that he has both Odell […]

Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry Both On Track To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) are both set to play in Sunday’s contest against the Steelers despite having had questionable designations throughout the week. Beckham’s absence was tied to receiving negative COVID-19 tests, which put him on track to play so long as he felt up to it, […]

Leonard Fournette Expects To Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will warm-up prior to Sunday’s game, but so long as he has no setbacks, is expected to play versus Green Bay. Fournette last received carries Week 3 against Denver, having battled an ankle injury that has limited him in practice. In the case that he does play, […]

Falcons Defense Loses John Cominsky To Reserve/COVID-19 List

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle/end John Cominsky (undisclosed) was placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him the second Falcon to hit the list this week. Despite his designation, Cominsky does not necessarily have to have tested positive for the virus, and there is currently no reason to believe that the Falcons/Vikings contest scheduled for […]

Michael Thomas Claims He’ll Return To Field Week 7

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been vocal about his desire to return to the field ever since departing from a Week 1 outing due to a high ankle sprain. During teammate Cameron Jordan’s interview with ESPN on Friday, Thomas was heard saying that he would return to action next Sunday when […]

Cowboys All-In On Andy Dalton As Starting QB At This Stage

The signing of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton was hailed as a savvy maneuver during the off-season as a means of getting Dak Prescott a veteran backup. Fast-forward to Week 6, and Dalton is the only QB on the active roster to start an NFL game. With the announcement Saturday that the Lions had signed […]

Jamaal Williams Dips In Fantasy Intrigue During Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has been utilized as Aaron Jones’ primary backup this season, which already caps his fantasy intrigue, but facing off against a stout Buccaneers Defense Sunday that is yielding just 58.4 yards per game on the ground puts him in an untenable spot. Williams saw a season-high 57 percent […]

Royce Freeman Should Benefit From Melvin Gordon III’s Absence

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman has reprised a minor role in the team’s offense this season despite having combined for over 1,000 yards rushing over the past two years. Melvin Gordon III (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against New England, and while Phillip Lindsay is expected to the Broncos’ bell cow […]

Mecole Hardman Could Be In Line For Increased Role Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman could become the No. 3 target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes during what is projected to be an offensive eruption Monday versus Buffalo. With Sammy Watkins (hamstring) having been ruled out, Hardman is likely first in line to see an increase in targets. When Hardman has been targeted this […]

N'Keal Harry Holds WR3/FLEX Relevance Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry will have quarterback Cam Newton back under center Sunday versus Denver, boosting him up toward WR3/Flex appeal in medium-sized or larger season-long formats. Harry has been a favorite target of Newton, having averaged seven targets per contest this year, while compiling 18 receptions for 166 yards and one […]

Jack Doyle Returns To Fantasy Relevance For Week 6

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle was a Pro Bowl selection last season, but has thus far struggled to carve out a role in the Philip Rivers-led offense in 2020. With Mo Alie-Cox (knee) out of the mix versus the Bengals on Sunday, Doyle should see considerable intrigue for DFS upside, while also presenting potential […]
