Christian Kirk Limited In Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Kirk did not play in the Week 3 loss to the Lions, so this is a good start for him as he looks to return to action this Sunday against the Panthers. If Kirk can get the go-ahead for Week […]

DeAndre Hopkins On Week 4 Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, along with safeties Budda Baker (thumb) and Chris Banjo (hamstring). There hasn't been anything on Hopkins' injury, so the Cardinals may just be playing it safe and giving the veteran some rest early in the week. Nuk should be just fine to face […]

Dee Ford Headed To Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (neck) will be placed on Injured Reserve with a neck issue. Ford suffered the injury in Week 1 and hasn't played since. It's unclear how long he'll be out, but he'll be forced to miss at least the next three weeks while on IR. San Francisco's defense has […]

George Kittle A Full-Go In Practice

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (knee) is a full-go at practice on Wednesday. It means that Kittle should return in Week 4 against the Eagles after missing the last two games. It's perfect timing, too, with Jordan Reed going on Injured Reserve. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) looks […]

Jimmy Garoppolo The Starter When Healthy

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is the team's starter over Nick Mullens when he's healthy. Garoppolo missed last week and Mullens threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown against the winless Giants, but the Niners are making it clear that Jimmy G is the starter when […]

Michael Thomas Returns To Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with an ankle sprain. Thomas was moving well during the portion of practice open to the media, but he'll have to prove he's not at risk of aggravating his ankle if he plays in Week 4 […]

Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert Not Practicing Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), running back Raheem Mostert (knee) and defensive end Dee Ford (back) will not practice on Wednesday. Garoppolo is week-to-week with an ankle sprain and doesn't look to be on track to return in Week 4 against the Eagles, which would allow Nick Mullens to make his second straight […]

Broncos Defense Enters Streaming Conversation In Week 4

The Denver Broncos Defense has been decimated by injuries through three weeks. It started with Von Miller (ankle) suffering a season-ending injury just before Week 1, and it continued with cornerback A.J. Bouye in Week 1 and defensive tackle Jurrell Casey last week. Despite all the injuries, Denver's D will be a fantasy streaming option […]

Brandon McManus Should Remain On Waiver Wires

Through three games, Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has attempted four field goals (three made) and four extra points. The strong-legged 29-year-old just isn't seeing enough opportunities in a banged-up and ineffective offense to warrant any fantasy attention. That could change once quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) returns, possibly in Week 5, but fantasy managers can […]

Noah Fant A Low-Upside TE1 Against Jets

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant will see his fantasy ceiling lowered with quarterback Brett Rypien making the start on Thursday night against the Jets, but he should continue to see a healthy amount of targets in the passing game, making him at least a low-end TE1 option for fantasy managers. Fant was targeted 10 […]

Don't Expect Another Touchdown From Tim Patrick

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick had four catches for 43 yards and the team's lone touchdown in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers, but fantasy managers can't expect that kind of production again, even if it's against the 0-3 Jets on Thursday night. Outside of very deep PPR leagues, you can continue ignoring […]

K.J. Hamler Not Fantasy Viable Just Yet

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler has a healthy 12 targets in his first two NFL games, but he's caught just six passes for 78 yards, including only three catches for 30 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers. There's a lot to like long term about this speedy big-play 21-year-old, but […]

Jerry Jeudy A Low-Upside Flex On Thursday Night

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is the team's No. 1 wideout moving forward with Courtland Sutton (knee) out for the season, but he still doesn't present his fantasy managers with a ton of upside as the Broncos scramble under center with Drew Lock (shoulder) injured. Brett Rypien will make his first career start […]

Phillip Lindsay Questionable For Thursday Night

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Jets. Lindsay suffered a turf-toe injury in Week 1 and sat out the last two weeks, but he's on track to make his return in a good matchup against the reeling Jets. […]

Melvin Gordon III Has Good Matchup On Tap In Week 4

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was held in check against a tough Buccaneers Defense in Week 3, but he's in a prime position to bounce back on Thursday night against the Jets and their struggling defense. Gang Green has allowed 344 rushing yards and three scores on the ground through three games while […]

Chiefs Defense Loses Rookie L'Jarius Sneed

Kansas City Chiefs rookie cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (collarbone) broke his collarbone in the Monday night win over the Ravens, according to head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs didn't give a timetable for Sneed's return. The fourth-round pick started the first three games of the season and was tied for the league lead in interceptions with […]

La'el Collins Working Through Hip Injury

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins (hip) is dealing with a hip injury that has become a real challenge on a day-to-day basis. Sources say that Collins is trying to work through the issue and is committed to playing this year. The Cowboys said that he would likely have surgery "if it was Week 10 […]

Eagles Put Jalen Reagor On Injured Reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles placed rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, and the first-round pick is expected to be out for more than three weeks. The Eagles are hoping that Reagor can return after their Week 9 bye, so the speed demon can likely be dropped in shallow leagues if you […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Expected To Be Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that he expects wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest) to be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday after he missed the team's Week 3 game last Thursday. Barring any setbacks this week, it looks like he'll return to action this Sunday against the Bengals. The Jags […]

Titans-Steelers Game Being Postponed

Sunday's Week 4 game between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers is being postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, according to multiple sources. The NFL is considering all options to reschedule, with Monday night as one of the possibilities. This will be based on COVID-19 test results in the coming days. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported […]

Henry Ruggs III A Long Shot To Play Against Bills

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (hamstring) is considered a long shot to play in Week 4 against the Bills due to a lingering hamstring injury, according to a source. The first-rounder shouldn't be out for an extended amount of time, but it's a concern for a player that relies heavily on […]

Chase Young Expected To Be Out Against Ravens

Washington Football Team rookie pass-rusher Chase Young (groin) suffered a moderate groin strain in the Week 3 loss to the Browns and is expected to be out in Week 4 against the Ravens, according to sources. The No. 2 overall pick already has 2.5 sacks in his first three games, but he's considered week-to-week at […]

Bryan Edwards Won't Play In Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Bryan Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Bills as he battles an ankle sprain, according to a source. Edwards is considered week-to-week moving forward. There's a chance that the No. 81 overall pick in this year's draft misses additional games. Fellow rookie Henry Ruggs […]

Chris Godwin Out For Week 4 With Hamstring Pull

An MRI exam on Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) on Tuesday confirmed a mild hamstring pull, according to a source. Godwin will be out for Week 4 against the Chargers and could also miss next Thursday's game against the Bears, but he shouldn't be out much more after that. You'll obviously need […]

Texans Don't Plan On Signing Earl Thomas

After meeting with free-agent safety Earl Thomas and conducting a physical, the Houston Texans do not plan to sign him, according to a source. The team had scheduled a workout with the All-Pro defensive back, but it did not take place. The Texans will continue to search for help at safety after placing A.J. Moore […]

Adrian Peterson Likely To Be Lions Lead Back Moving Forward

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson had more snaps, carries and yards than the rest of the team's backfield in the Week 3 win over the Cardinals. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell made it sound as though Peterson could wind up being the lead back for the team in the immediate future. Detroit went with a […]

Titans-Steelers, Texans-Vikings On Track For Sunday

As of now, the Tennessee Titans-Pittsburgh Steelers game and Houston Texans-Minnesota Vikings contest for Week 4 are both on for this Sunday despite eight positive COVID-19 tests (three players, five personnel people) from the Titans testing positive on Tuesday. However, the NFL is evaluating the situation and will adjust if needed as more information is […]

Chargers Place Chris Harris Jr. On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and promoted defensive back Jahleel Addae to the active roster in a corresponding move. Harris suffered a foot injury in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers that is expected to keep him out for at least a month and […]

Taylor Lewan Avoids Major Injury

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (undisclosed), who suffered an undisclosed injury in the Week 3 win over the Vikings, avoided a major injury. It's too early to tell whether Lewan will be able to play in Week 4 against the Steelers, but there's optimism that if he misses time, he won't be out for […]

Eagles Put Dallas Goedert On Injured Reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles placed tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he'll be out at least three weeks. In a corresponding move, the team signed tight end Hakeem Butler to the active roster off the Panthers practice squad. Goedert has a small fracture in his left ankle and also an ankle […]
