Broncos Defense Stout Again Versus Jacksonville

The Denver Broncos defense had the pleasure of facing Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Week 2. The No. 1 overall pick started off strong with a long touchdown connection to wideout Marvin Jones Jr., but the Denver D stiffened after that and allowed only 13 points in the 23-13 win. Star pass-rusher Von […]

KJ Hamler Manages Just One Catch In Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler came into the Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars with added expectation with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) out for the foreseeable future with a high-ankle sprain. Unfortunately, Hamler was only able to reel in one of his three targets for five yards in the 23-13 win. Courtland Sutton saw […]

Courtland Sutton Makes A Statement Against Jaguars

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton started the season off slow with just one catch for 14 yards in Week 1 in his first game since tearing his ACL in Week 2 of last season.

Eric Kendricks Will Play Against Cardinals

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) is active for the Week 2 game against the Arizona Cardinals after being listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Keelan Cole Active Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is active for Week 2 against the New England Patriots after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. Cole was inactive for the season-opening loss to the Carolina Panthers, so he'll make his debut this Sunday with Jamison Crowder (groin) out and Denzel Mims a […]

Devin Bush, Joe Haden Inactive For Steelers Defense

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush (groin) and cornerback Joe Haden (groin) are inactive for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Defensive tackle Carlos Davis (knee) has also been ruled out.

Shi Smith Inactive Again In Week 2

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Shi Smith (shoulder) is inactive again in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints after recovering from his preseason shoulder injury. Smith had been out since Aug. 28, but he practiced in full all week, so this is more of a coach's decision. Robby Anderson, D.J. Moore, fellow rookie Terrace […]

Breshad Perriman A Healthy Scratch Again

Chicago Bears wide receiver Breshad Perriman is a healthy inactive for the second straight week in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Darnell Mooney and Marquise Goodwin were listed as questionable on the final injury report, but they are both active and will play against the Bengals. As such, Perriman remains buried on the depth […]

Darnell Mooney, Marquise Goodwin Active Against Bengals

Chicago Bears wide receivers Darnell Mooney (back) and Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) are both active for Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals after being questionable on the final injury report. It's hard to trust any Chicago receiver outside of Allen Robinson II for consistent weekly production, but the Bears do have a nice matchup this weekend. […]

Saints Defense Without Marshon Lattimore, C.J. Gardner-Johnson

New Orleans Saints cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (hand) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers.

Eric Fisher Expected To Start Sunday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Eric Fisher (Achilles), whose recovery from a torn Achilles happened much faster than imagined, is expected to start in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. The two-time Pro Bowl tackle will be a much-needed addition to help protect quarterback Carson Wentz's blind side against a very […]

Micah Parsons Moving To Defensive End

Dallas Cowboys off-the-ball linebacker Micah Parsons is expected to play defensive end against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2. Parsons actually played defensive end in high school and it's his natural position. The reason for the move is that the Cowboys will be without their best pass-rusher, DeMarcus Lawrence (foot), for the foreseeable future. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Expected To See 20-Plus Touches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had just 11 carries in the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, but he's expected to get back to more of a normal workload in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Ravens Could Roll With The Hot Hand At RB

Don't be surprised if the Baltimore Ravens roll with the hot hand at running back in the Sunday night showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens are expected to use a running-back committee in Week 2, featuring Ty'Son Williams, Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman. It's a nightmare situation for fantasy managers trying to decide […]

Tyrann Mathieu Will Play In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, who missed the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns after coming off the COVID-19 list, will make his season debut in Week 2 on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens.

Eagles Sign Josh Sweat To Three-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end Josh Sweat to an undisclosed three-year contract extension through the 2024 season on Saturday. The extension comes exactly a week after the Eagles signed left tackle Jordan Mailata to a four-year extension through the 2025 season, so Philly is making sure to lock up their rising young talent. Sweat, […]

Carlton Davis Questionable For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (hamstring) was added to the team's injury report on Friday, and he's now questionable for Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons after practicing in a limited fashion.

Josiah Deguara In The Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Monday night game against the Detroit Lions, and he missed practice on Thursday and Friday.
