Javonte Williams Still Slightly Behind Melvin Gordon

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams scored the first touchdown of his NFL career last week, but he also lost a fumble in the red zone. Through three games, Williams has a 43.6 snap percentage compared to 54.5 percent for Melvin Gordon III. And a lot of Williams' snaps have come in garbage time […]

Teddy Bridgewater Going Deep More Than You Think

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater isn't a sexy fantasy quarterback, but he's starting to get some attention after a 3-0 start. He ranks fifth in deep passes (20 yards or more) attempted through three games, and he's completed 41.2 percent of his deep throws. The Broncos passing attack has been much more efficient in 2021, […]

Anthony Firkser On Track To Return In Week 4

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) practiced in full this week and is on track to return in Week 4 against the New York Jets after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has completed 79 percent (66 of 83) of his passes to Firkser since he took over […]

Ryan Tannehill Confident In Receiving Depth

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is confident in the team's receiving depth behind A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring), who will both miss the Week 4 game against the New York Jets. Chester Rogers was already the starting slot receiver, but he should see more targets with both Brown and Jones out. Rogers is […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Officially Out For Week 4

The New York Giants have officially ruled out wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) for a Week 4 date with the New Orleans Saints on the road. It's a tough blow for a Giants team, as Shepard currently leads the Giants receiving corps with 18 receptions on 22 targets for 223 yards […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Will Play Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) will play in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Game-Time Decision On Andy Dalton, Justin Fields

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that his decision on who will start at quarterback in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions will be a game-time decision on Sunday. Quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) was limited in practice this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report. Rookie Justin Fields (thumb) practiced […]

Dalvin Cook Listed As Questionable Against Browns

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is listed as questionable to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 4 after he sat out last week. Cook practiced on a limited basis all week and looked much better, so there's a real chance that he returns to take over the lead-back duties this Sunday. In his […]

Christian McCaffrey Officially Ruled Out For Week 4

The Carolina Panthers have officially ruled running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) out for the Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys. We knew that McCaffrey wouldn't be available this weekend after he injured his hamstring in the Thursday night win over the Houston Texans in Week 3, but the good news is that he's not […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Ruled Out In Week 4

The Tennessee Titans have ruled out both wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) for the Week 4 game against the New York Jets after they both missed practice all week. With their top two receivers sidelined, the Titans will ask Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers, Cameron Batson and Josh Reynolds to step up. […]

Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger Hitting The Panic Button?

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have looked a lot like the mess that was the second half of last season, but offensive coordinator Matt Canada isn't ready to panic after three games and a 1-2 start. "We're gonna stick with what we're doing," Canada said. The offense has only four touchdowns in […]

Curtis Samuel Will Be Active Against Atlanta

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said that wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) will be active in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons after practicing for the third time this week on Friday. It will be Samuel's season debut with Washington after he was designated to return from Injured Reserve earlier this week. The […]

Giovani Bernard Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Giovani Bernard (knee) will be out for the Sunday night game against the New England Patriots in Week 4. Bernard suffered a minor MCL sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he might only need to miss this one […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Not Expected To Play

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) weren't spotted at practice on Friday, and it's safe to assume that they'll be out for Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. Neither player was able to practice all week, so fantasy managers should have them […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Likely To Need Season-Ending Surgery

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle), who suffered a fractured ankle in the Thursday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, is likely to require season-ending surgery. It was obvious that Chark would be out for an extended period of time when he was carted off the field in significant pain on Thursday night […]

Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims Expected To Play

New York Jets wide receivers Jamison Crowder (groin) and Denzel Mims are both expected to play in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Crowder will be making his season debut after dealing with COVID-19 and a groin injury that has plagued him since training camp. Mims has been a […]

Elijah Moore Ruled Out For Week 4

The New York Jets have ruled out wide receivers Elijah Moore and Jeff Smith due to concussions for the Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans. The Jets are hoping that Moore will be able to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play next week. With both Moore and Smith sidelined, the Jets […]

Rob Gronkowski Won't Miss Sunday Night Game

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, there is no way that Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) will miss the Sunday night game against his former team, the New England Patriots, in Week 4. Although Gronk didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, his ribs aren't considered a major concern after X-rays came back […]

Lamar Jackson On Track To Play Against Broncos

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) was back at practice on Friday after missing the last two days with a sore back, which puts him on track to play in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Jackson might end up with a questionable tag on the final Week 4 injury report, but it looks like […]

George Kittle, Elijah Mitchell In Limbo For Week 4

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (calf) and rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) are in limbo for the Week 4 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Shanahan also said it's "not guaranteed" that Kittle will play on Sunday after not practicing the last couple of days. Kittle and […]

Giants Sign Former First-Rounder Isaiah Wilson

The New York Giants signed offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson, a former first-round pick last year by the Tennessee Titans, to their practice squad on Thursday. Wilson, who is 6-foot-7 and 330 pounds, played just three offensive snaps in his rookie season and was traded to the Miami Dolphins in March. Off-the-field issues caused him to […]

Rashad Weaver Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery

Tennessee Titans rookie linebacker Rashad Weaver (leg) underwent successful season-ending surgery on Thursday to fix a broken fibula, according to a source. The fourth-round pick suffered the serious injury in the Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Weaver played on only 18 percent of the team's defensive snaps last Sunday and totaled two assisted […]

LeSean McCoy Hangs Up His Cleats

The Philadelphia Eagles all-time leading rusher, running back LeSean McCoy, announced his retirement on Thursday. He will sign a one-day contract with Philadelphia to officially retire with them on Friday. The 33-year-old spent 12 seasons in the NFL with the Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McCoy made the Pro Bowl […]

Texans Waive Joey Slye With Ka'imi Fairbairn Returning

The Houston Texans waived kicker Joey Slye on Thursday. Slye wasn't terrible for Houston through the first three games of the season. The 25-year-old made four of his five field-goal attempts and had missed one of eight extra-point tries to begin the season. The move was made with regular kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) set to […]

Dee Eskridge Nearing A Return?

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) got in a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with his head injury. The 24-year-old caught his only target for six yards and carried the ball twice for 22 yards in his NFL debut in the season opener, but he's missed the last two […]

D.K. Metcalf Limited With Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) was on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday after getting in a limited practice session. It might not be an injury that will put him in danger of missing Sunday's game against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, but it's worth mentioning with Tyler Lockett (hip) being downgraded […]

Carson Wentz Continues To Be Limited

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It was a bit of a surprise that Wentz even played in Week 3 after spraining both of his ankles the week prior, but he was out there and didn't aggravate either ankle. However, the 28-year-old didn't attempt […]

Jack Doyle In Danger Of Missing Week 4

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (back) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Doyle will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance at playing in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. If he cannot go, Mo Alie-Cox and rookie Ben Bredeson would likely split […]

Tyler Conklin Back At Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (glute, elbow) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that Conklin will be able to play in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns after he went off for seven catches, 70 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win […]

T.J. Watt Practices In Full Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Watt was close to playing last week, but the team took the cautious route and held him out. We fully expect him to return to action in Week 4 in his return to his home […]
