Eric Hosmer Still Hopes To Return This Year

Boston Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer (back) hasn't given up hope of playing again this season. Skipper Alex Cora said Hosmer might resume baseball activities on Tuesday.

Trevor Story Could Play Tuesday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) took a big step forward on Sunday by taking at-bats against right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) in a simulated game at Fenway Park.

Nathan Eovaldi Nearing Rehab Assignment

Broncos Defense Holds Texans To Nine Points

The Denver Broncos defense has been good at limiting their opponents on the scoreboard through two weeks, but they haven't given fantasy managers much outside of that. The Denver D didn't allow a single touchdown in the 16-9 Week 2 win on Sunday, but they failed to record a takeaway despite two forced fumbles on […]

Brandon McManus Stays Busy In Week 2

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus had another productive game in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. McManus has been even more useful for fantasy managers through the first two weeks of the season given Denver's lackluster performance in the red zone so far. In the 16-9 win over Houston, he made […]

Eric Saubert Scores TD, Albert Okwuegbunam Puts Up A Donut

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert scored the team's only touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Tyrie Cleveland Sees More Playing Time Sunday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland was forced into a bigger role in Sunday's 16-9 Week 2 win over the Houston Texans when Jerry Jeudy (shoulder) was injured in the first half.

Courtland Sutton Has 100-Plus Yards In Week 2 Win

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton carried the team's offense on Sunday in the 16-9 win over the Houston Texans.

Javonte Williams Sees 16 Touches In Week 2

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams out-carried backfield mate Melvin Gordon III 15 to 10 in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans.

Russell Wilson Looks Cooked In Win Over Texans

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson hasn't looked great at all through his first two games with the Broncos. In a 16-9 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2, Wilson went just 14-for-31 for 219 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked three times. Wilson lost receiver Jerry Jeudy (shoulder) early in […]

Gabe Davis Very Questionable For Monday Night

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis (ankle) suffered an ankle sprain on a non-contact play in practice on Saturday. The Bills aren't ruling him out and are holding out hope that he can play, but he's very much in question for the game against the Tennessee Titans. It sounds like Davis is more doubtful than […]

James Proche II, Ronnie Stanley Out Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver James Proche II (groin) and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) have both been ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) is active. Both Proche and Stanley were doubtful to play this Sunday. With Proche out, expect Tylan Wallace to be the team's […]

Myles Gaskin Inactive, Terron Armstead Active

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is inactive for the Week 2 contest against the Baltimore Ravens, while left tackle Terron Armstead (toe) is active after being listed as questionable on Friday.

Pierre Strong Jr. Making His NFL Debut

New England Patriots rookie running back Pierre Strong Jr. (shoulder) is active and will make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Strong was listed as questionable for this contest, but he will suit up after being a healthy scratch in the season opener. Strong is active with Ty Montgomery (knee) now […]

D'Ernest Johnson, Jack Conklin Inactive For Browns

Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson and offensive tackle Jack Conklin (knee) are inactive for the Week 2 game against the New York Jets. Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week to open up the 2022 season. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are fully healthy and will continue to share touches […]

Broncos Defense Has A Chance To Redeem Itself

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams had a prime opportunity in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks and the Geno Smith-led offense, and although they allowed only 17 points and 253 yards of total offense, they didn't perform up to fantasy expectations with just two sacks and a fumble recovery. They got off to a bad […]

Brandon McManus Should Be Busy In Week 2

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has one of the strongest legs in the NFL, but he couldn't make the potential game-winning kick from 64 yards out in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks when head coach Nathaniel Hackett curiously elected to kick the long field goal instead of going for it on fourth […]

Albert Okwuegbunam A Viable Streamer In Week 2

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam is a viable tight end streamer for fantasy managers heading into a Week 2 home matchup with the Houston Texans.

Courtland Sutton Has Plenty Of Upside In Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a so-so season opener in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching four of his seven targets for 72 yards. Quarterback Russell Wilson didn't look to his receivers until deep into the second quarter, but he managed to find Sutton for several chunk gains in the […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Ruled Out In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) has been downgraded from questionable to out in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pittman was injured in Wednesday's practice and now won't play this weekend. With rookie Alec Pierce (concussion) also out, the Colts will be thin on pass-catchers for quarterback Matt Ryan as they look […]

Jerry Jeudy Trending Up Heading Into Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is trending up entering the Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans after catching four of his seven targets for a team-high 102 yards and his first touchdown of the season in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Russell Wilson Tipped Plays In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett said Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson tipped some of the plays in the Week 1 loss by using the same old hand signals that he used while playing for Seattle.

Brevin Jordan Officially Questionable For Week 2

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos on the road.
