Patriots Offense Tailored To Cam Newton's Strengths

The New England Patriots completely overhauled their offense to best suit quarterback Cam Newton, and it was on display in the Week 1 win over the Dolphins with a run-heavy offense with plenty of zone reads and quarterback keepers. Newton led the team in rushing on Sunday, taking 15 carries for 75 yards and two […]

Marlon Mack Out For Season With Torn Achilles

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (Achilles) will officially miss the rest of the 2020 season after suffering a torn Achilles in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars.

Leighton Vander Esch Out 6-8 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) cleanly broke his collarbone on Sunday night against the Rams, according to a source. He'll need surgery and will return in six to eight weeks. Vander Esch is a starting linebacker in IDP leagues on a weekly basis, but he continues to have trouble staying on the field. […]

Duke Johnson A Long Shot To Play In Week 2

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the game last Thursday against the Chiefs, is considered week-to-week and is a long shot to play in Week 2 against the Ravens, according to a source. However, he has a chance to play in Week 3, as it's not believed to be […]

Alshon Jeffery Officially Out For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. The good news is that Jeffery avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the year, but he's expected to miss multiple weeks. The 30-year-old has battled injuries and inconsistency for his fantasy managers […]

Denzel Mims, La'Mical Perine Ruled Out For Season Opener

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) and rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Bills. Mims is dealing with injuries to both of his hamstrings, so he might not even be ready for Week 2. Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan should […]

N'Keal Harry Questionable Against Miami

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) and rookie tight end Dalton Keene (neck) are both questionable for Week 1 against the Dolphins. Harry was reportedly a full practice participant on Friday, so he should be fine to play this weekend. The second-round wideout should see a healthy amount of targets from quarterback Cam […]

Mike Williams Officially Questionable Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Week 1 against the Bengals. Williams put in limited practices all week, giving him a chance to suit up in the regular season opener. However, he likely won't be 100 percent, and Philip Rivers was a much better fit for him than Tyrod Taylor […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Won't Play In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Browns. After a quiet rookie season in 2019, Hill doesn't have much of a path for a sophomore improvement in a backfield that also includes Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards and promising […]

Browns Defense To Be Without Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver) and linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens. Cleveland's secondary is short-handed with Williams and Johnson sidelined and rookie safety Grant Delpit on Injured Reserve. That's not a good combination with Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense […]

Danny Amendola, Jeff Okudah Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (hamstring) are questionable for Week 1 against the Bears. Amendola was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good chance of suiting up. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) doubtful to play, Amendola could see his fair share of targets from quarterback Matthew […]

Duke Johnson Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Thursday night loss to the Chiefs, is now questionable for the team's Week 2 contest against the Ravens, according to a source. Johnson injured himself in the second half of the game and never returned, finishing with five carries for just 14 […]

David Montgomery, Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin), wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee), wide receiver Javon Wims (Achilles) and linebacker Khalil Mack (knee) are all questionable for Week 1 against the Lions. Montgomery has practiced in full the last two days, however, so it sounds as though he'll be active in the season opener. If he's […]

Broncos Extend Brandon McManus For Four Years

The Denver Broncos are giving kicker Brandon McManus a four-year, $17.2 million contract extension on Friday, including $9.5 million fully guaranteed. McManus has one of the strongest legs in the NFL and kicks half his games in altitude in Denver. The 29-year-old has hit 81.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his six years in […]

Brandon Aiyuk Listed As Questionable

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Cardinals on Sunday. Aiyuk got in some practice time on Friday, so he definitely has a chance to make his NFL debut in the season opener. However, it remains to be seen how much he'd see the […]

Deebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Cardinals. Samuel didn't practice this week, but he's ahead of schedule and could make his season debut next week against the Jets. When he's ready to return, Samuel should be quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's No. 1 receiver, making him […]

Josh Norman Ruled Out For Bills Defense

Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) was ruled out for the Week 1 season opener against the Jets. Defensive tackle Vernon Butler (hamstring) has been listed as questionable. Norman is hoping to be a veteran presence for Buffalo's strong defense in 2020, but he'll be on the sidelines for the first game. Expect Levi Wallace […]

Eagles Expect Good Things From Jalen Reagor

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (shoulder) is on track to make his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. Head coach Doug Pederson said they increased Reagor's workload this week. The team will watch him over the next 48 hours, but they "expect some good things." Reagor was also taken […]

Denzel Mims Not Looking Good For Sunday

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstrings) will not practice on Friday. Head coach Adam Gase said Mims had an issue with his other hamstring, and "it's not looking good" for the rookie making his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Bills. The 22-year-old out of Baylor wasn't trending as much of […]

Mike Evans Doubtful To Face Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is listed as doubtful to face the Saints in Week 1 on Sunday. There was some optimism building around Evans after he did some individual drills in practice on Friday, but his soft-tissue injury will likely keep him out and somewhat spoil quarterback Tom Brady's debut with […]

Kenny Golladay Doubtful For Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Bears after injuring his hamstring in practice this week. Golladay injured himself on Wednesday, sat out on Thursday and was "very limited" Friday, so fantasy managers need to start making other plans for the season opener. It's a rough […]

Courtland Sutton A Long Shot To Play On Monday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder), who sprained his AC joint in practice on Thursday, appears to be a long shot to play on Monday night against the Titans in Week 1. He did not practice on Friday. Sutton hasn't officially been ruled out, but he seems doubtful at this point and should probably […]

Tua Tagovailoa Will Be Available In Week 1

Miami Dolphins first-round quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip), who fractured and dislocated his hip in college last November, was a full practice participant this week and will be ready and available for the season opener on Sunday against the Patriots. The rookie from Alabama will open the season as veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick's primary backup, but Tagovailoa […]

Mike Evans Likely To Be Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is likely to be a game-time decision for Week 1 on Sunday against the Saints. "He did some individual stuff today. We'll see if he's sore tomorrow. It'll probably be a game-time decision," Arians said. There remains optimism that Evans will […]

Kevin Stefanski To Call Plays In 2020

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Friday that he will call the offensive plays in his first season as head coach, but he'll also work collaboratively with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. The Browns were a huge disappointment in 2019 under Freddie Kitchens, but Stefanski's vision for Cleveland's 2020 offense is expected […]

Mike Pouncey Not Expected To Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey (hip), who missed practice this week with a hip injury, is not expected to play in the Week 1 season opener against the Bengals, according to sources. It's a blow to the Chargers offensive line right out of the gate, as the 31-year-old eight-year veteran started all 16 games […]

Cowboys Sign DeMarcus Lawrence To Voidable Extension

The Dallas Cowboys signed defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to a one-year voidable extension on Friday for salary cap purposes, converting $15 million of his 2020 base salary into a signing bonus and clearing $12 million in cap space this year, according to a source. Lawrence is already under contract through the 2023 season. Dallas plans […]

Patriots Give Stephon Gilmore A Raise

The New England Patriots gave reigning Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore a significant raise on Friday, bumping his salary from $10.5 million to $15.5 million this year with a chance to earn up to $17.5 million in incentives. This comes despite the fact that Gilmore has two years left on his contract, according […]

Kenny Golladay To Be Limited Friday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) will be "very limited" in practice on Friday, according to head coach Matt Patricia. Golladay injured his hamstring in practice on Wednesday and wasn't on the field Thursday, so this is an injury situation that bears watching all the way up until game time on Sunday. There's a […]

Mike Evans At Practice Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is at practice on Friday, and there is optimism that he'll be fine for Week 1 against the Saints after dealing with a soft-tissue injury this week. Evans could still get a questionable tag for the season opener, but unless he suffers some sort of setback, he's […]
