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 […]

Ben Roethlisberger Good To Go Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is good to go in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Roethlisberger was taken off the final injury report. Big Ben is pretty tough. We know that. But his left pectoral injury is something to watch in this divisional matchup. […]

Four Ravens Defenders Placed On COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens placed defensive tackle Brandon Williams, defensive tackle Justin Madubuike and pass-rushers Justin Houston and Jaylon Ferguson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, and they are unlikely to be available to play in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions.

Jordan Mailata Unlikely To Play Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata (knee) isn't expected to play on Monday night in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys after he suffered a sprained MCL in practice on Thursday. The injury isn't considered to be long-term, but Andre Dillard is expected to take over on quarterback Jalen Hurts' blind side on Monday night […]

Frank Clark Doubtful For Chiefs Defense

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers after straining his hamstring in practice on Thursday. Head coach Andy Reid also said that it's the same hamstring that Clark injured in training camp, which is notable. Defensive tackle Chris Jones (wrist) and cornerback […]

Saints Defense Set To Receive A Boost In Week 3

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (thumb), defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee), linebacker Pete Werner (hamstring) and defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon (calf) will all play in Week 3 against the New England Patriots after missing the Week 2 loss to the Carolina Panthers. It's great news for a Saints defense that is firmly in the […]

Chargers Defense May Be Without Joey Bosa

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa (ankle, foot) missed practice all week and is considered questionable for Week 3 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. It would be a huge loss for the Bolts against former MVP Patrick Mahomes and this explosive KC offense. Bosa has played 82 percent of the defensive snaps through […]

T.J. Watt Questionable For Steelers Defense

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. Watt's injury looked potentially serious in the Week 2 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but the fact that he was able to practice all week is a great sign […]

Panthers Work Out Duke Johnson Friday

With Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) expected to miss the next couple of weeks with a hamstring strain, the team worked out running back Duke Johnson on Friday, according to a source. Rookie Chuba Hubbard should see the majority of backfield work in McCaffrey's absence, with former Denver Broncos back Royce Freeman helping […]

Rashaad Penny, Dee Eskridge Ruled Out

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (calf) and rookie Dee Eskridge (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings for the second straight week. The Seahawks are hopeful that Penny will be able to return in Week 4, but given his lengthy injury history, nobody should be holding their breathe for […]

Anthony Firkser Ruled Out Again In Week 3

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) missed practice all week and has been officially ruled out for the Week 3 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. It will be Firkser's second straight absence after he was injured in the season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals. With the 26-year-old out for another game, MyCole Pruitt […]

Marquise Goodwin Questionable For Week 3

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (ankle) practiced in full the last two days, but he's listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. Barring a setback on Saturday, Goodwin should be able to suit up on Sunday. The 30-year-old has operated as Chicago's No. 3 receiver and is third in targets (seven) […]

Jamison Crowder Doubtful To Make Season Debut

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) did not practice at all this week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. Crowder has yet to play this year after being on the COVID-19 list and due to an injury that he suffered late in training camp. The veteran slot man remains […]

Tevin Coleman Won't Play Against Broncos

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (illness) was a full practice participant on Friday, but he was ultimately ruled out for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos with a non-COVID-19 illness. Coleman saw just 9.6 percent of the snaps in the Week 2 loss against the New England Patriots, with Michael Carter and Ty […]

Kenny Golladay, Evan Engram Questionable For Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) and tight end Evan Engram (calf) were both limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. There's definitely a chance that both Golladay and Engram will play. Engram is looking to make his 2021 season debut. Through two […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Will Be A Game-Time Decision

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) will be a game-time decision based on his pain level in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Henderson didn't practice all week, so that's another sign pointing toward him being inactive this weekend. Making him even more risky for […]

Amari Cooper Says He'll Be Good To Go

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs), who said he's actually dealing with cracked ribs, said he'll be good to go on Monday night in Week 3 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Cooper said he's improving every day, and his full practice on Friday is great news for his availability on Monday. It could just […]

D'Andre Swift Questionable For Week 3

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (thigh) is also questionable. Swift was questionable before Week 2 but played 63 percent of the offensive snaps and handled 12 touches for 78 total yards in the […]

Tee Higgins Doubtful To Face Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that could change on Saturday. If Higgins is upgraded to questionable, he'll obviously have more of a chance to play on Sunday. The second-year wideout got in a limited practice session on Friday after missing practice […]

Josh Jacobs Doubtful For Week 3

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Jacobs missed the Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and doesn't look close to returning this Sunday. Fantasy managers should plan to be without him for the second straight game. […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown Questionable For Week 3

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) are listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. Jackson returned to a full practice on Friday and is expected to play after sitting out on Thursday with a stomach bug. He's a must-start high-end QB1 against an 0-2 Lions team […]

Trey Sermon Cleared And In Line To Start In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Trey Sermon (concussion) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol and is in line to start on Sunday night in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers with Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) doubtful and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) already ruled out. Sermon wasn't listed on the final injury report for […]

Elijah Mitchell Doubtful For Sunday Night

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) has been listed as doubtful to play on Sunday night in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. Mitchell returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days of practice, but the Niners don't sound optimistic that he'll be ready this weekend. […]
