Patriots O-Line In Shambles Entering Week 5

The New England Patriots have ruled out right guard Shaq Mason (abdomen) and right tackle Trent Brown (calf) for Week 5 against the Houston Texans, while left tackle Isaiah Wynn and left guard Mike Onwenu remain on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Center David Andrews is the only healthy starter on the offensive line heading into this […]

David Njoku Questionable For Week 5

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers after getting in a limited practice on Friday. Njoku missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so his return to practice Friday will give him a chance to suit up on Sunday. Through four games, Njoku has seven catches […]

George Kittle Listed As Doubtful

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) has been listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle had a full workload while playing through the calf injury in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he caught only four of his 11 targets for 40 yards. Make […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially Out In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Rookie quarterback Trey Lance will make his first NFL start against the division rivals. Garoppolo missed practice all week and could be in danger of missing Week 6 as well. Lance tossed two touchdowns in relief […]

Justin Jackson Doubtful To Face The Browns

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (groin) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns after missing practice on Thursday and Friday. Jackson has operated as the No. 3 running back behind Austin Ekeler and rookie Larry Rountree III this year, so he hasn't been on the fantasy radar. […]

Andy Dalton Removed From Final Injury Report

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final Week 5 injury report against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bears had been saying all along that Dalton would remain the starter once he was healthy, but that tune changed earlier this week when they announced that rookie […]

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Questionable

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings after practicing in a limited fashion all week. Swift has been questionable all year but hasn't missed a game, and both running backs seem likely to suit up on Sunday. Although Williams […]

Courtland Sutton Now Questionable To Play In Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (ankle) rolled his ankle in practice on Friday and will now be questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after practicing on a limited basis. Outside of a big performance in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sutton has done very little for fantasy managers, and now he […]

Julio Jones To Miss Second Straight Game

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones didn't practice all week. The good news for Tennessee is that A.J. Brown (hamstring) is expected to return after also missing the Week 4 loss to the New York Jets. […]

A.J. Brown Expected To Return Sunday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) to play in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he was out in the Week 4 overtime loss to the New York Jets. It's been trending this way all week with Brown returning to a full practice on Thursday. Veteran […]

Chase Edmonds Will Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) will be a game-time decision in Week 5 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Edmonds did return to practice on Friday, though, so he has a shot at suiting up on Sunday. But if he's active and less than 100 percent, James […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is doing better, but he could still be a game-time decision in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. Cook is officially listed as questionable for the second straight week. The 26-year-old played through his ankle sprain in the Week 4 loss to […]

Christian McCaffrey Listed As Doubtful

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for the Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a bummer for fantasy managers after McCaffrey was trending toward a possible return after feeling good in practice all week. CMS is now on track to miss his second straight game with the Panthers […]

Gerald Everett Back With The Team

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Gerald Everett has been cleared from the league's COVID-19 list and is back with the team. Everett wasn't able to get cleared in time to play in the Thursday night loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. With Everett out in Week 5, Will Dissly […]

Dyami Brown Out For Week 5

Washington Football Team wide receivers Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) and right guard Brandon Scherff (knee) have all been ruled out for Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. Brown, a third-round rookie, has just five catches on 14 targets for 51 yards in his first four NFL games, and his opportunities are […]

Antonio Gibson, Curtis Samuel Questionable For Week 5

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) are both questionable for Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. After getting in some practice time this week, Gibson should be able to suit up this Sunday. But he'll face a tough matchup against New Orleans' strong defensive line, making […]

Teddy Bridgewater Expected To Play Against Steelers

The expectation is that Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will clear the league's concussion protocol and practice in full on Friday, according to a source. Barring a setback in practice on Friday, Bridgewater is expected to be fully cleared to play in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's great news for the Broncos […]

Bengals Will Decide On Joe Mixon On Saturday

The Cincinnati Bengals will take a look at running back Joe Mixon (ankle) on Saturday and decide on his status for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Mixon missed his third straight day of practice on Friday, which is usually never a good sign, but he's only dealing with a low ankle sprain and […]

Tee Higgins Will Play In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) has looked great in practice all week and will play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins has been limited in practice all week and will return after a two-game absence. Despite the addition of first-round rookie pass-catcher Ja'Marr Chase, […]

Rob Gronkowski Won't Play Against Dolphins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that tight end Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) will not play in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. However, outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (hand, shoulder) and cornerback Jamel Dean (knee) will be active. Gronk will miss his second straight game after suffering some cracked ribs and a punctured […]

Nico Collins Won't Return Next Week

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins (shoulder) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve after the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots, but head coach David Culley said on Wednesday that Collins won't be ready to return next week. Collins played 55.1 percent of the offensive snaps in the season opener and […]

Mike Boone Close To A Return

Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone (quadriceps) is "real close" to returning, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Boone has looked good while practicing for the last two weeks, and there's still a chance that he could be activated from Injured Reserve before the Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, when he does […]

Max Muncy Won't Need Surgery

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (elbow) recently visited Dr. ElAttrache and an MRI exam confirmed the original diagnosis of a dislocated elbow and some other damage. Muncy will keep his elbow immobilized for a couple of weeks and will not need surgery as "everything is where it should be." The 31-year-old dislocated his left […]

Javonte Williams Ready For A Bigger Role?

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams had a season-low seven carries for 48 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens when the Broncos only ran the ball four times in the second half. Williams has been in a near-even timeshare with Melvin Gordon III (leg), who is expected to play in […]

Broncos Defense A Strong Option Against Steelers

The Denver Broncos defense has been a top-15 fantasy unit through the first four weeks of the season with star pass-rusher Von Miller (4.5 sacks) healthy once again. However, three of their four games were against bottom-feeders in the NFL -- Giants, Jaguars, Jets. It's a big reason why they've allowed the second-fewest points (49) […]

Brandon McManus Hard To Trust With Uncertain QB Situation

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has one of the strongest legs in the league and enters a Week 5 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers as the No. 7 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. However, he's an extremely shaky streaming option for this weekend with Denver's quarterback situation up in the air. The Broncos […]

Noah Fant Has A Tough Task In Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant will be facing a Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 5 that has allowed just over five fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. The good news, though, is that Fant should remain one of Denver's top targets with both wide receivers Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee) […]

Tim Patrick Has Shaky Flex Appeal Entering Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick remains undervalued after he led the Broncos in receiving in 2020. He started off strong with seven catches on eight targets for 76 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games of this season, but he had only three catches on six targets for 39 yards in the […]

Courtland Sutton Could Have Another Big Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton hasn't done much outside of his nine-catch, 159-yard performance in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he has yet to find the end zone in 2021. He should continue to be the team's top target with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) still out, even if quarterback Drew Lock […]

Jets, John Franklin-Myers Reach Contract Extension

The New York Jets and defensive end John Franklin-Myers agreed to an undisclosed four-year contract extension on Thursday, according to sources. He will now be under contract with the team through the 2025 season. Franklin-Myers has 15 tackles (seven solo), five quarterback hits, a forced fumble and three sacks in four starts this season in […]
