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.

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 […]

Alex Leatherwood Working At Right Guard

Las Vegas Raiders rookie offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood was working at right guard in practice on Thursday, with Brandon Parker at right tackle. Leatherwood, a surprise first-round pick, struggled in his first four games at right tackle by allowing four sacks and 18 pressures. The Raiders will be hoping for better results with the move […]

Carlton Davis Placed On Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed cornerback Carlton Davis (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will keep him out for at least three games. He's expected to be out four to six weeks with his quadriceps injury, so Davis is not expected to return until November. Davis now joins defensive back Sean Murphy-Bunting (elbow) on […]

Russell Gage Won't Play Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) will not travel to London for the Week 5 game against the New York Jets. It will be Gage's third straight absence. No. 1 receiver Calvin Ridley also won't travel due to a personal issue, which means Olamide Zaccheaus and Tajae Sharpe will be the team's top receivers […]

David Njoku Misses Another Practice Thursday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Njoku will be in danger of missing his first game of the season in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers if he cannot return to practice on Friday. If he cannot get cleared, Austin Hooper and Harrison […]

Tyler Kroft Ruled Out For London Game

New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft (back), wide receiver Jeff Smith (concussion) and safety Adrian Colbert (concussion) have been ruled out for the Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons in London this Sunday. None of the trio will make the trip across the pond. Kroft, who has just six catches on 10 targets […]

Carson Wentz's Ankles Improving

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday to start the week. A full practice to begin the week is a good sign that Wentz's ankles are improving after he sprained both ankles in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The former Philadelphia Eagle […]

Nyheim Hines On The Week 5 Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines (shoulder) is on the Week 5 injury report after missing practice on Thursday. Hines suffered the shoulder injury in the Week 4 win over the Miami Dolphins, but his injury doesn't sound all that serious. If he can return to practice Friday or Saturday, Hines should be able to […]

Josh Jacobs Upgraded To Full Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday. On the flip side, Peyton Barber (toe) missed practice for the second straight day and looks likely to miss the Week 5 game against the Chicago Bears after suffering a mild turf-toe injury on Monday night. Jacobs was […]

Chase Edmonds Absent From Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) was absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Edmonds might need to get in a limited practice on Friday to have any shot at suiting up in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. Backup James Conner returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday […]

Chris Carson Ruled Out Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) has been officially ruled out for the Thursday night game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. Carson popped up on the injury report on Tuesday and didn't practice the last two days. Heading into a short week, it's not a huge surprise that Carson is […]

Dalvin Cook Misses Another Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Cook said on Wednesday that he isn't likely to be 100 percent, but he plans to play through his sprained right ankle again in Week 5 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. After missing Week 3, Cook had just nine carries for […]

Gerald Everett Won't Play Thursday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett, who is currently on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, has not been activated and is out for Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams. With Everett out on Thursday, Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson will split the tight end duties. Dissly should be the target as a DFS sleeper, as […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Remain Out

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) remained out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Both players missed the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints last week. Shepard appears to be further along in his recovery than Slayton, and both players will need […]
