Jake Luton To Start Sunday, Gardner Minshew Out Again

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton will make his third start in Week 11 against the undefeated Steelers while Gardner Minshew II (thumb) resumes throwing. Luton went 18-for-35 for 169 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Week 10 loss to the Packers. Jacksonville isn't putting too much on the 24-year-old's plate and is […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. To Return To Practice This Week

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) will return to practice this week, but the team will "wait and see" if he's ready to play in Week 11 against the undefeated Steelers. Shenault missed the team's Week 10 loss to the Packers. Fantasy managers will want to […]

Chris Thompson Going On Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that running back Chris Thompson (back) will be put on Injured Reserve. It means that Thompson will have to miss at least the next three games after suffering a back injury in the Week 10 loss to the Packers. Rookie James Robinson remains the featured back in this […]

Zach Ertz Designated To Return From IR

The Philadelphia Eagles designated tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Monday. The Eagles are getting completely healthy as an offense for the stretch run. There's no guarantee that Ertz will be able to return as early as Week 11 against the Browns, but he's getting closer to coming back after […]

Eric Fisher, Mitchell Schwartz Placed On COVID-19 List

The Kansas City Chiefs placed both starting offensive tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. It sounds as though Fisher and Schwartz have been deemed as high-risk close contacts of another individual who tested positive for COVID-19. That makes them candidates to clear the league's protocols and play in Week […]

Dolphins Sign Zach Sieler To Contract Extension

The Miami Dolphins signed defensive lineman Zach Sieler to a contract extension on Monday that will keep him with the team through the 2023 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Sieler was a seventh-round pick out of Ferris State in 2018 by the Ravens, but he's stepped up for Miami's defensive line […]

Sam Darnold Won't Return In Week 11

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will miss the Week 11 game against the Chargers, according to head coach Adam Gase. In his place, Joe Flacco will make his fourth start of the season. The veteran signal-caller has gone 59-for-104 for 659 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in four games (three starts) for […]

Andy Janovich Going On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns are placing fullback Andy Janovich on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. The Browns shut down their facility on Monday after a player tested positive for COVID-19, so we're assuming that Janovich was that player. There's still a chance that he could be cleared from the league's protocols in […]

Drew Brees Set To Miss Multiple Starts

The New Orleans Saints aren't planning to put quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) on Injured Reserve, but he's currently set to miss multiple starts. ESPN is reporting that Brees is suffering from broken ribs and a collapsed lung after a hard hit in the Week 10 win over the 49ers. The 41-year-old future Hall of […]

Jets Claim Pat Elflein Off Waivers

The New York Jets claimed former Vikings offensive lineman Pat Elflein off waivers on Monday, according to a source. Elflein was put on Injured Reserve after injuring his thumb in practice after the season-opener against the Packers and he hasn't played since. The Vikings chose to move on and waived him last weekend. It's unclear […]

49ers Put Arik Armstead On COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive lineman Arik Armstead on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. It's unclear if Armstead tested positive for COVID-19 or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who did. Either way, he'll have plenty of time to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols with their bye coming in […]

Drew Lock Could Miss Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) has a muscle strain around his ribs, according to a source. Nothing is broken, but head coach Vic Fangio said that Lock is questionable for practice on Wednesday. Depending on how much Lock can do in practice this week, he could very well be questionable to play in Week […]

Chiefs Sign Andy Reid, Brett Veach To Extensions

The Kansas City Chiefs signed head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach to contract extensions on Monday, less than a year after they helped lead the team to their first Super Bowl win in 50 years.

Braves Sign Drew Smyly To One-Year Deal

The Atlanta Braves signed left-hander Drew Smyly to a one-year, $11 million deal on Monday.

He was released by the Rangers after going 4-7 […]

Washington Pleased With Alex Smith

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera thinks quarterback Alex Smith has successfully completed his journey from a gruesome leg injury to become the team's starter. Smith was 38-for-55 for 390 yards in the narrow Week 10 loss to the Lions. The 36-year-old has two years left on his contract after this season, although releasing […]

Broncos Defense Blown Out In Week 10

The Denver Broncos Defense continued their recent slide in the Week 10 blowout loss to the Raiders by a score of 37-12 on Sunday. The Broncos defense had been performing above expectations, considering all of their injuries to key defenders, but they've been exploited in the last four weeks against the Chiefs, Chargers, Falcons and […]

Joe Flacco To Start Again In Week 11

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Joe Flacco will make another start in Week 11 against the Chargers with Sam Darnold (shoulder) injured. The Jets had their bye in Week 10, but it appears that Darnold still isn't ready to return to the starting job. The 35-year-old Flacco came close to […]

Brandon McManus Attempts Just Two Field Goals

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus hasn't missed a kick since Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he only attempted two field goals in the 37-12 blowout loss to the Raiders in Week 10. He was able to help his fantasy managers with a 50-yard make in one of his two tries on Sunday, but the […]

Noah Fant Disappoints Against Raiders

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant was targeted seven times in the Week 10 loss to the Raiders, but he brought in just three of those targets for a season-low 18 yards in the 37-12 defeat. The good news is that Fant has moved past an ankle injury that caused him to miss a game […]

DaeSean Hamilton Scores Second TD Of The Season

Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton scored the team's lone touchdown of the game in their 37-12 blowout loss to the division-rival Raiders in Week 10. Hamilton caught four of his six targets for 33 yards and his second touchdown in the last three games. Despite finding paydirt again, he just isn't a realistic fantasy […]

K.J. Hamler Leads Broncos With 10 Targets

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler may not have stood out on the stat sheet in the 37-12 loss to the division-rival Raiders in Week 10, but he continues to see his role increase in this offense. Hamler led the team with 10 targets and has now seen exactly 10 targets in back-to-back weeks. […]

Dolphins Waive Jordan Howard

The Miami Dolphins waived running back Jordan Howard on Monday, according to a source. Howard was a healthy scratch in Week 10 against the Chargers after serving as the lead back in Week 9 with Myles Gaskin on Injured Reserve. After being a key offseason acquisition, Howard totaled just 28 carries for 33 yards and […]

Tim Patrick Posts 61 Yards Before Ejection

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick caught four of his six targets for 61 yards before being ejected late in the Week 10 blowout loss to the division-rival Raiders.

Jerry Jeudy Leads Team In Receiving Sunday

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy led the team in receiving in the blowout loss to the Raiders in Week 10 by catching four of his eight targets for 68 yards. Jeudy was tied for the team lead with four receptions on the day and was second with his eight targets. The rookie from […]

Phillip Lindsay Non-Existent In Loss To Las Vegas

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay barely found his way onto the stat sheet in the 37-12 blowout loss to the division-rival Raiders in Week 10. Lindsay ran the ball only four times for two yards and failed to catch his only target in the passing game. He remains second fiddle to Melvin Gordon in […]

Melvin Gordon III Held In Check By Raiders

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III got back into the double-digit carry mark in Week 10 against the Raiders, but he was unable to get going and also failed to catch either of his two targets in the passing game in the 37-12 loss. Gordon ran the ball 11 times for just 46 yards […]

Drew Lock Regresses In Week 10

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had the best game of the season in Week 9 against the Falcons, but he followed that up with perhaps his worst game of the season in the blowout loss to the division-rival Raiders in Week 10. Lock was 23-for-47 for 257 yards, one touchdown and a season-high four interceptions. […]

Packers Sign David Bakhtiari To Record Extension

The Green Bay Packers signed All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari to a four-year contract extension worth up to $105.5 million on Sunday, according to a source. It makes Bakhtiari the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. The base value of the deal is $103.5 million with another $2 million in incentives and a $30 million […]

Christian McCaffrey Unlikely To Play In Week 11

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Week 11 against the Lions due to his shoulder injury, and the team is still preparing for a multi-week absence, according to a source. Fantasy managers were hoping that McCaffrey would only be out for one week, but that doesn't look like the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Dealing With MCL Sprain

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in the Week 10 loss to the division-rival Buccaneers, according to a source. Bridgewater is considered day-to-day and has a chance to play in Week 11 against the Lions. The 28-year-old threw for under 200 yards but tossed two touchdown passes […]
