Deebo Samuel On The Week 8 Injury Report

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. It's a new injury for Samuel, but Shanahan wasn't too worried about the team's top receiver ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears. As long as the […]

DeAndre Hopkins Questionable Against Packers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) didn't practice all week and is questionable to play on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. Despite the questionable tag, Hopkins is expected to play against Green Bay and will remain a must-start WR1 for fantasy managers. The Packers remain without top cornerback Jaire Alexander, too, so […]

J.J. Watt Ruled Out For Thursday Night

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers with a shoulder injury. Corey Peters (illness), Jack Crawford (undisclosed) and Rashard Lawrence (calf) are also questionable for the Cardinals. It's bad news for the Cardinals defensive line, but the good news is that […]

George Kittle Expected Back Next Week

The San Francisco 49ers expect tight end George Kittle (calf) to return in Week 9 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Kittle is currently on Injured Reserve and will miss one more game this weekend. Ross Dwelley hasn't exactly taken advantage of Kittle's absence, catching just three of his four […]

Mark Ingram II Heading Back To The Saints

The New Orleans Saints acquired running back Mark Ingram II from the Houston Texans on Wednesday, according to sources. Ingram started his career with the Saints and will now rejoin them as a complement to star running back Alvin Kamara. The 31-year-old had been in an ugly committee alongside David Johnson and Phillip Lindsay on […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Unlikely To Have Shoulder Surgery

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) is unlikely to opt for offseason surgery on his troublesome left shoulder, according to sources. The decision isn't necessarily final, but it's tied to Tatis' belief that his shoulder is stable and will hold up moving forward. The superstar shortstop has partially dislocated his shoulder on at […]

Charlie Morton Fractures His Leg In Game 1 Win

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton (leg) suffered a fractured right fibula in the team's Game 1 win over the Houston Astros in the World Series on Tuesday night. Morton will obviously miss the rest of the World Series, but he's expected to be ready for spring training next season. The veteran right-hander suffered the […]

Mike White Will Start In Week 8

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced on Wednesday that Mike White will start in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets traded for veteran Joe Flacco this week with rookie first-rounder Zach Wilson (knee) expected to miss two to four weeks with his knee injury, but it'll be White, not Flacco, getting […]

Dolphins Haven't Met Texans Asking Price For Deshaun Watson

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has only waived his full no-trade clause for the Miami Dolphins, but sources are saying that Miami's offer still does not meet the threshold to get a deal done. The Texans will not bend on their asking price for the Dolphins or any other team. The Dolphins apparently also want […]

David Onyemata Returns From Suspension

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle David Onyemata is in great shape, according to head coach Sean Payton, and will return to the team in Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Onyemata was suspended six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, but he'll make an already strong New Orleans defense even better […]

Devin Smith Signs With Panthers

Free-agent wide receiver Devin Smith is signing with the Carolina Panthers practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. The former New York Jets second-rounder recently spent time with the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars, whom he played seven offensive snaps with in Week 1. Rookie first-rounder Terrace Marshall Jr. (concussion) is in danger […]

Baker Mayfield Says He Could Play Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) said that playing in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers is a possibility. It's not a ringing endorsement for his return, but the good news is that he has been practicing this week after missing last Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos with a fully torn labrum in his […]

Broncos Open Albert Okwuegbunam's Practice Window

The Denver Broncos opened tight end Albert Okwuegbunam's (hamstring) and linebacker Jonas Griffith's (hamstring) practice windows on Tuesday to return from Injured Reserve. The Broncos have 21 days to activated both players from IR.

Teams Expressing Interest In Evan Engram

Multiple teams are expressing interest in New York Giants tight end Evan Engram with the trade deadline looming next Tuesday. The Houston Texans are among the potential sellers, and not just with quarterback Deshaun Watson. If Engram were to be traded, Kyle Rudolph would become much more attractive as a touchdown-dependent fantasy option for the […]

Dak Prescott To Do Individual Drills

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) will work during individual drills in practice on Wednesday and will then be evaluated as they move into the team portions of practice. The Cowboys aren't really worried about the calf strain that Prescott suffered at the end of the Week 6 game […]

David Bakhtiari Won't Play Thursday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in time to play on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals. Bakhtiari tore his ACL on New Year's Eve last year. It's more likely that he will make his […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Expected To Play Thursday

The current expectation is that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) will be activated from Injured Reserve and play on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals, according to a source. It's good news with both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, the team's top two receivers, unlikely to play this week after they were […]

DeAndre Hopkins Doesn't Practice Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Tuesday. Hopkins hasn't gotten any practice work in on the short week, so there's a good chance he'll be listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. However, he managed to play 83% of the offensive snaps in the […]

Khalil Mack Not Expected To Play In Week 8

Chicago Bears Pro Bowl pass-rusher Khalil Mack (foot) is not expected to play in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers, and a stint on Injured Reserve is not out of the question in order to allow his foot another three games to heal. Mack first injured his foot in a Week 3 loss to […]

Panthers Not Expected To Pursue Deshaun Watson

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper and the team are not expected to pursue a trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson at this time, according to sources.

Dolphins, Texans Agree On Trade Terms For Deshaun Watson

The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson is reporting that the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans have agreed on trade terms for quarterback Deshaun Watson, but the Dolphins want Watson's legal issues resolved before consummating the deal, according to the Houston Chronicle. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross wants clarity from commissioner Roger Goodell on the length of a […]

Malik Taylor Back From COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Malik Taylor from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. It's good news for the Packers after their top two receivers, Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, have gone on the COVID-19 list this week and are unlikely to play on Thursday night against the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals. Taylor should provide […]

Washington Works Out Kerryon Johnson, D'Onta Foreman

The Washington Football Team worked out free-agent running backs Kerryon Johnson and D'Onta Foreman on Tuesday. It remains to be seen if Washington will sign one of them, but this could mean that primary running back Antonio Gibson's (shin) injury is more serious than we think. Gibson has been playing through a hairline fracture in […]

Adrian Colbert Released By Jets Tuesday

The New York Jets released veteran safety Adrian Colbert on Tuesday, according to a source. Colbert played 97% of the defensive snaps in Week 2 against the New England Patriots, but that number dropped to 26% against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4, and he hasn't played since due to a concussion. The 28-year-old former […]

Raiders Release Willie Snead IV

The Las Vegas Raiders released wide receiver Willie Snead IV on Tuesday. Snead "wasn't playing much and asked for the release," according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The 29-year-old pass-catcher caught just three of five targets for 32 yards in his seven games with the Raiders this year, with his 15% of the offensive snaps […]

Packers Not Ruling Out Marquez Valdes-Scantling For Thursday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur isn't ruling out wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) returning from Injured Reserve and playing on Thursday night in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Green Bay has a bigger need for MVS to return now that both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, the team's top two receivers this […]

Allen Lazard Joins Davante Adams On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Allen Lazard on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, a day after they placed receiver Davante Adams on the same list. On a short week against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night, Lazard and Adams, the team's top two receivers, are unlikely to be available for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. […]

Jordan Howard Could Become Involved

The Philadelphia Eagles could elevate running back Jordan Howard from the practice squad to the active roster and use him in between the tackles alongside rookie Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott if Miles Sanders (ankle) can't play in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. The Eagles haven't been running the ball much this year, but […]

Jerry Jeudy Will Return In Week 8

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is good to go and will make his return from Injured Reserve in Week 8 against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Jeudy was close to returning for last Thursday's game against the Cleveland Browns, but the Broncos wanted to give the talented second-year wideout a little more […]

Derek Wolfe Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Baltimore Ravens opened up the 21-day practice window for defensive end Derek Wolfe (back) to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Wolfe will be back at practice on Tuesday and has been on IR the first seven weeks of the season. The Ravens are on their bye in Week 8, but it's possible that […]
