Zach Wilson Holding Onto The Ball Too Long

Justin Fields Not Guaranteed To Start In Week 4

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said he "can't definitively say" who will start at quarterback in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions after rookie Justin Fields laid an egg in his first career NFL start in the Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, veteran Andy Dalton (knee) remains week-to-week after getting injured […]

Rashaan Melvin Joining Panthers Active Roster

Broncos Defense Pitches A Shutout In Week 3

The Denver Broncos defense came into Week 3 against the New York Jets as the highest-projected defense for the week. Although they didn't finish the week in the top spot, they finished third (through Sunday's games) in the 26-0 blowout win. Denver's D sacked rookie quarterback Zach Wilson five times -- A.J. Johnson had two […]

Brandon McManus Doesn't Disappoint Against Jets

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus, whose ownership is on the rise early in the season, didn't disappoint his fantasy managers in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets. McManus remained perfect on the year, making all four of his field-goal attempts (long of 47 yards) and both of his extra-point tries. The […]

Noah Fant Does Very Little In Week 3

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant caught just two of his three targets for a measly 15 yards in the Week 3 blowout win over the New York Jets. It didn't help Fant's cause that the Broncos offense took the air out of the ball on Sunday, with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater attempting only 25 pass […]

KJ Hamler Injures Knee In Win Over Jets

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee) injured his left knee in the first half of the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets on Sunday and didn't return in the second half. Hamler wasn't putting much weight on his leg when he left for the locker room, so he could be looking […]

Courtland Sutton Has A Disappointing Stat Line

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton caught all five of his targets in the 26-0 blowout win over the New York Jets in Week 3, but he managed just 37 yards on a day in which the Broncos offense relied heavily on the run. It was a disappointing line for his fantasy managers after he […]

Tim Patrick Leads Broncos In Receiving In Week 3

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick led the team with five catches on five targets for 98 receiving yards in the Week 3 win over the New York Jets. Patrick's five targets were tied with Courtland Sutton for the most on Sunday in a game in which the Broncos did not need to air the […]

Javonte Williams Scores His First Touchdown

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in the 26-0 Week 3 victory over the New York Jets. Other than the touchdown, though, Williams didn't have a very great day, carrying the ball 12 times for 29 yards (2.4 yards per carry). He added three receptions on […]

Melvin Gordon III Finds The End Zone In Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III led the team's backfield in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets, carrying the ball 18 times for 61 yards and his second touchdown of the season while also catching one of his two targets for 21 yards. Gordon had six more carries than rookie […]

Teddy Bridgewater Not Asked To Do Much Against Jets

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater didn't have to do much in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets. He finished with 19 completions on 25 pass attempts for 235 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Bridgewater added 24 rushing yards on four carries. With New York's offense doing nothing, Denver leaned more […]

Jets Still Believe In Denzel Mims

New York Jets second-year wide receiver Denzel Mims has just one catch for 40 yards through two games, and he was a healthy scratch in the Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. Because he doesn't play special teams, Mims must learn all the wideout positions if he wants to start on game day […]

Keanu Neal Out For Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that linebacker Keanu Neal tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Neal is unvaccinated and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The former safety has nine tackles (six solo) through the first two games (one start) […]

Eagles Activate Zach Ertz From COVID-19 List

The Philadelphia Eagles activated tight end Zach Ertz from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. It means that Ertz should be available to play on Monday night in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Taylor Lewan Expected To Play Against Colts

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) practiced in full all week and wasn't wearing a brace on his injured knee at all. Head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects Lewan to play in Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts after he injured his knee during warmups and was ruled out before the Week 2 […]

T.J. Watt Downgraded To Out In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watt was close to getting the green light, so there's a good chance that he'll be able to return in Week 4, barring any setbacks. With Watt sitting out, Melvin Ingram will see more playing […]

Miles Sanders Should Be Good To Go

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (chest) was a full practice participant on Friday after being limited in practice on Thursday. Unless he suffers a setback, Sanders should be fine to serve as the team's lead back for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. The 24-year-old has carried the ball […]

T.J. Hockenson On His Way To Becoming Elite

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson looks to be on his way to becoming an elite tight end in the NFL. Hockenson is the only player in the NFL through two games with eight-plus receptions in both games of 2021. He is also the third tight end in league history to have eight catches and […]

D'Andre Swift To Be More Involved In Passing Game?

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift already has 12 catches through two games, but he could get more involved through the air earlier in games. While Detroit isn't giving up on their wide receivers just yet, head coach Dan Campbell said another solution is to get the ball in the hands of Swift and tight […]

Broncos Defense A Top Option In Week 3

The Denver Broncos defense received some bad news this week when they learned that they had lost Josey Jewell for the rest of the season and Bradley Chubb for at least the next three weeks. But at least for another week, they will remain one of the highest-upside defensive units in fantasy against a Jets […]

Brandon McManus Is Suddenly Fantasy Relevant Again

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has always had one of the strongest legs in the league. But that doesn't always translate to fantasy success for kickers. Now that the Denver offense is on a roll to begin the year is and facing another excellent matchup in the New York Jets in Week 3, McManus and […]

Noah Fant Will Play Against Jets

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) got in a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the New York Jets. Fant continues to be bothered by nagging injuries, but it hasn't kept him from playing in the first two games, and he's been great for […]

KJ Hamler Needs More Volume

Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver KJ Hamler was fifth on the team in targets in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville, and he managed to catch only one of his three targets for five yards. Hamler didn't exactly take advantage of his first game without Jerry Jeudy (ankle) in the starting lineup, and he's […]

Tim Patrick Good To Go For Week 3

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hip) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the New York Jets. Patrick stepped up in a big way for the Broncos last year with Courtland Sutton out most of the year with a torn ACL, and he's doing […]

Courtland Sutton Clearly The Top Target In Denver

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (hip) was listed on the injury report this week with a hip injury, but he practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and is off the final injury report for Week 3 against the New York Jets. Sutton came alive in Week 2 with nine catches on 12 targets […]

Javonte Williams Earning A Bigger Role?

Fantasy managers are patiently waiting for Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams to earn a bigger role in this backfield. Melvin Gordon III has seen 54.8 percent of the offensive snaps over two games, compared to 45.2 percent for Williams. However, the rookie has three more carries than Gordon and 109 rushing yards in […]

Melvin Gordon III Must Be More Efficient

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III played 59.4 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, compared to 40.6 percent for rookie Javonte Williams. But Gordon and Williams both had 13 carries, with Williams running for 64 yards and Gordon totaling only 31 rushing yards. Gordon has the […]

Teddy Bridgewater A QB1 Streamer Against Jets

Despite what people may say about Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and his reluctance to go deep down the field, he has thrown 18.6 percent of his passes 20-plus yards down the field through two games this season. He ranks second in completion percentage above expectation. It could be because of the poor talent that […]
