Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III led the team's backfield in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets, carrying the ball 18 times for 61 yards and his second touchdown of the season while also catching one of his two targets for 21 yards. Gordon had six more carries than rookie […]

Teddy Bridgewater Not Asked To Do Much Against Jets

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater didn't have to do much in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets. He finished with 19 completions on 25 pass attempts for 235 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Bridgewater added 24 rushing yards on four carries. With New York's offense doing nothing, Denver leaned more […]

Jets Still Believe In Denzel Mims

New York Jets second-year wide receiver Denzel Mims has just one catch for 40 yards through two games, and he was a healthy scratch in the Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. Because he doesn't play special teams, Mims must learn all the wideout positions if he wants to start on game day […]

Keanu Neal Out For Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that linebacker Keanu Neal tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Neal is unvaccinated and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The former safety has nine tackles (six solo) through the first two games (one start) […]

Eagles Activate Zach Ertz From COVID-19 List

The Philadelphia Eagles activated tight end Zach Ertz from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. It means that Ertz should be available to play on Monday night in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Taylor Lewan Expected To Play Against Colts

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) practiced in full all week and wasn't wearing a brace on his injured knee at all.

T.J. Watt Downgraded To Out In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watt was close to getting the green light, so there's a good chance that he'll be able to return in Week 4, barring any setbacks. With Watt sitting out, Melvin Ingram will see more playing […]

Miles Sanders Should Be Good To Go

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (chest) was a full practice participant on Friday after being limited in practice on Thursday. Unless he suffers a setback, Sanders should be fine to serve as the team's lead back for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. The 24-year-old has carried the ball […]

T.J. Hockenson On His Way To Becoming Elite

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson looks to be on his way to becoming an elite tight end in the NFL. Hockenson is the only player in the NFL through two games with eight-plus receptions in both games of 2021. He is also the third tight end in league history to have eight catches and […]

D'Andre Swift To Be More Involved In Passing Game?

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift already has 12 catches through two games, but he could get more involved through the air earlier in games. While Detroit isn't giving up on their wide receivers just yet, head coach Dan Campbell said another solution is to get the ball in the hands of Swift and tight […]

Broncos Defense A Top Option In Week 3

The Denver Broncos defense received some bad news this week when they learned that they had lost Josey Jewell for the rest of the season and Bradley Chubb for at least the next three weeks. But at least for another week, they will remain one of the highest-upside defensive units in fantasy against a Jets […]

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. Ferguson tested positive for the virus, and the others have gone on the list […]

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) […]
