Shi Smith Inactive Again In Week 2

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Shi Smith (shoulder) is inactive again in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints after recovering from his preseason shoulder injury. Smith had been out since Aug. 28, but he practiced in full all week, so this is more of a coach's decision. Robby Anderson, D.J. Moore, fellow rookie Terrace […]

Breshad Perriman A Healthy Scratch Again

Chicago Bears wide receiver Breshad Perriman is a healthy inactive for the second straight week in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Darnell Mooney and Marquise Goodwin were listed as questionable on the final injury report, but they are both active and will play against the Bengals. As such, Perriman remains buried on the depth […]

Darnell Mooney, Marquise Goodwin Active Against Bengals

Chicago Bears wide receivers Darnell Mooney (back) and Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) are both active for Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals after being questionable on the final injury report. It's hard to trust any Chicago receiver outside of Allen Robinson II for consistent weekly production, but the Bears do have a nice matchup this weekend. […]

Saints Defense Without Marshon Lattimore, C.J. Gardner-Johnson

New Orleans Saints cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (hand) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. The Saints will also be missing defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon (calf), linebacker Peter Werner (hamstring), linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder). Rookie cornerback Paulson Adebo stepped up in […]

Josh Norman Expected To Start Against Eagles

San Francisco 49ers veteran cornerback Josh Norman, who signed with the team less than two weeks ago, is expected to start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, according to a source. The 33-year-old former shutdown corner played in nine games with the Buffalo Bills last season, but eventually he became more of a depth […]

Jason Peters Expected To Play Against Bengals

Chicago Bears left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable with a quadriceps injury that limited him in practice this week, is expected to play in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source. Peters suffered the injury in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it looks […]

Eric Fisher Expected To Start Sunday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Eric Fisher (Achilles), whose recovery from a torn Achilles happened much faster than imagined, is expected to start in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. The two-time Pro Bowl tackle will be a much-needed addition to help protect quarterback Carson Wentz's blind side against a very […]

Micah Parsons Moving To Defensive End

Dallas Cowboys off-the-ball linebacker Micah Parsons is expected to play defensive end against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2. Parsons actually played defensive end in high school and it's his natural position. The reason for the move is that the Cowboys will be without their best pass-rusher, DeMarcus Lawrence (foot), for the foreseeable future. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Expected To See 20-Plus Touches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had just 11 carries in the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, but he's expected to get back to more of a normal workload in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Twenty touches is the hope for Elliott in this one, which will make […]

Ravens Could Roll With The Hot Hand At RB

Don't be surprised if the Baltimore Ravens roll with the hot hand at running back in the Sunday night showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens are expected to use a running-back committee in Week 2, featuring Ty'Son Williams, Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman. It's a nightmare situation for fantasy managers trying to decide […]

Tyrann Mathieu Will Play In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, who missed the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns after coming off the COVID-19 list, will make his season debut in Week 2 on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Mathieu has no injury designation and practiced in full all week. While the Chiefs defense/special teams isn't a […]

Saints Restructure Marcus Davenport's Contract

The New Orleans Saints converted $1,354,235 of defensive end Marcus Davenport's salary into a bonus with three voidable years on Saturday, creating $1,083,388 in salary cap space. It comes after the team also converted $847,376 of recently acquired cornerback Bradley Roby's salary into a bonus, which created $677,901 in salary cap space. Davenport was recently […]

Tyrell Williams Ruled Out For Monday Night

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) has been ruled out for the Monday night meeting with the Green Bay Packers. Williams, the Lions top receiver, had just two catches for 14 yards before he had to leave the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a […]

Eagles Sign Josh Sweat To Three-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end Josh Sweat to an undisclosed three-year contract extension through the 2024 season on Saturday. The extension comes exactly a week after the Eagles signed left tackle Jordan Mailata to a four-year extension through the 2025 season, so Philly is making sure to lock up their rising young talent. Sweat, […]

Carlton Davis Questionable For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (hamstring) was added to the team's injury report on Friday, and he's now questionable for Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons after practicing in a limited fashion. Outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (hand) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday after being limited on Wednesday, but head coach […]

Ryan Santoso Joins Titans Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans have signed kicker Ryan Santoso to their practice squad. They also brought in kicker Riley Patterson for a visit this week after cutting kicker Michael Badgley after the Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Randy Bullock, who was previously on the practice squad, was promoted to the active roster and is […]

Josiah Deguara In The Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Monday night game against the Detroit Lions, and he missed practice on Thursday and Friday. Deguara suffered a head injury in the season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers and seems unlikely to play this Monday night. The […]

Brian Hoyer Promoted From Practice Squad

The New England Patriots signed quarterback Brian Hoyer to a one-year deal on Saturday that promotes him from the practice squad to the active roster, according to a source. Jarrett Stidham (back) is out through at least Week 6 with an injury, so the veteran Hoyer should serve as rookie Mac Jones' backup under center […]

Broncos A Top-Five Fantasy Defense Against Jaguars

The Denver Broncos defense picked up two sacks and a fumble recovery while limiting the New York Giants to 314 total yards of offense and only 13 points in their Week 1 season-opening victory. They did lose cornerback Ronald Darby to the Injured Reserve, but star linebacker Von Miller looks fully healthy after missing all […]

Brandon McManus Rising Up The Kicking Ranks

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made all three of his extra points and both of his field-goal tries (long of 36) in the 27-13 Week 1 win over the New York Giants. He was a shaky starting kicker in fantasy last year because of how inconsistent Denver's offense was, but they were able to move […]

Noah Fant In A Great Spot Heading Into Week 2

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant got off to a great start in the Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. The third-year tight end led the team with eight targets, catching six of them for 62 yards. The only thing Fant was missing was a touchdown. He probably would've finished at least second […]

KJ Hamler To See More Playing Time

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler is set to see more playing time with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) out for the next four to six weeks with a high-ankle sprain. Hamler saw four targets and played just 36.4 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. That translated to […]

Tim Patrick Enters The Starting Lineup

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick could be the primary beneficiary of the Jerry Jeudy high-ankle sprain. Patrick was second among Denver's wideouts with a 70 percent snap percentage in the season-opening win over the New York Giants, and he hauled in all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old […]

Courtland Sutton Should Have Bigger Role In Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton played 80.3 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants, which was tops among the team's wideouts. That was good news in his first game back after tearing his ACL in Week 2 of last season. However, he finished with just one […]

Javonte Williams Remains In Timeshare With Melvin Gordon

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams combined with Melvin Gordon III for 159 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Unfortunately for Williams, Gordon had the better day with 101 rushing yards, including a 70-yard touchdown. Williams carried the ball 14 times (three more times than […]

Anthony Firkser Slapped With Questionable Tag

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Firkser was limited both Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday, so he's in danger of sitting out this weekend. The 26-year-old had a higher snap percentage (48.4) than Geoff Swaim in the Week […]

Vikings Being Cautious With Eric Kendricks

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals after being added to the injury report on Thursday. Kendricks was limited on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so he should be good to go for this Sunday. "He's good. He's all right. We're […]

Eric Ebron Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (hamstring) got in a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. There was some concern over Ebron after he was a non practice participant on Thursday, but he'll be out there this Sunday. The Steelers offense […]

Zach Ertz Off The Final Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) took part in a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Ertz didn't practice on Wednesday and was then limited on Thursday. The 30-year-old will be available to work in tandem once again with […]

Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole Questionable Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receivers Jamison Crowder (groin) and Keelan Cole (knee) were limited in practice this week and are questionable to play in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. Crowder and Cole were both absent in the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are optimistic about Crowder and Cole making […]
