Derek Carr Needs To Lead Offense To More Scores
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was in charge of an offense that scored 26 points per game back in 2016 when the team went 12-4, but other than that season, he has had trouble getting the ball into the end zone. Carr had a 70.4 percent completion rate and career-highs in yardage (4,054) and […]

Hunter Renfrow's Stock On The Decline?
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow was one of the most productive rookie receivers last year despite missing three games with an injury. The former Clemson star was one of just four rookie pass-catchers since 2014 to be drafted outside of the top 100 and reach 600 or more receiving yards. But with added […]

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Bryan Edwards is listed as a starter on the team's depth chart heading into Week 1 against the Panthers.

Henry Ruggs III To Face Donte Jackson In NFL Debut
Las Vegas Raiders rookie first-round wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is set to be matched up against Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson in Week 1 on Sunday.

Darren Waller Hoping For Encore After 2019 Breakout
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is looking to become more of a household name at the position after breaking out in 2019 as he continues to stay sober after addiction issues earlier in his career.

Mike Evans Dealing With Hamstring Issue
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is officially listed as having a hamstring injury ahead of Week 1 against the Saints, and he could be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Vikings Put Danielle Hunter On Injured Reserve
The Minnesota Vikings placed defensive end Danielle Hunter (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, meaning he'll miss at least the first three games of the season. Hunter hasn't practiced since last month with an undisclosed injury. The former LSU Tiger has 14.5 sacks in each of the last two years, but the Vikings will be […]

Danielle Hunter Not Practicing Wednesday
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (undisclosed) isn't practicing on Wednesday. The Vikings remain optimistic about his timetable for a return, but it doesn't look like that will come in Week 1 against the Packers. Minnesota continues to be cautious with their star pass-rusher, who hasn't practiced since Aug. 14. If […]

Danielle Hunter's Week 1 Status In Doubt
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter's (undisclosed) status for the season opener in Week 1 is very much in doubt. If Hunter practices on Wednesday, he'll likely be limited. His chances of playing against the Packers this weekend could depend on whether he can get in a full practice by Friday. The 25-year-old pass-rusher is […]

Mike Evans Could Be Game-Time Decision Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, and he could be a game-time decision on Sunday in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints.

Josh Jacobs Motivated To Produce In Passing Game
Las Vegas Raiders second-year running back Josh Jacobs is motivated to improve his pass-catching numbers in Year 2. "I think he's got to stay wire-to-wire healthy and we have to get more out of him in the passing game, more on the field on third down. He had a great year last year and we […]

Von Miller Out 5-6 Months With Dislocated Tendon
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) was diagnosed with a dislocated peroneal tendon in his ankle after suffering the injury in practice on Tuesday.

Ryan Shazier Announces Retirement
Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier (neck) officially announced his retirement from football on Wednesday. Shazier had been out of football since the 2017 season when he suffered a debilitating spine injury.

Chiefs Defense In Play As Week 1 Streamer
When thinking of dominant defenses, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense just doesn't come to mind. However, they actually averaged the 11th-most fantasy points per game last year after really struggling early in the year. Houston put up numbers in the first half of their playoff matchup with the Chiefs last year, but Kansas City gave […]

Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said the team is expecting a lot of good things from second-year wide receiver/return man Mecole Hardman this year.

Sammy Watkins Healthy Heading Into Thursday Night
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (groin) was not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Texans on Thursday after he dealt with a groin strain during training camp. Watkins plays in a potent offense, but he was as boom-or-bust as they come in 2019. That led to him […]

Tyreek Hill Good To Go For Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report after suffering a minor hamstring strain at the end of August. Hill has been a full-go at practice this week leading up to the Thursday night opener against the Texans. Unless he has a setback, Hill, who […]

Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire Worth The Hype?
Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was practicing against an LSU defense loaded with future NFL players in his freshman season in 2017, and the star running back ran for 1,916 yards and 24 total touchdowns in his final two seasons before being a first-round pick in 2020. Expectations are high for CEH […]

Von Miller's MRI Shows Season-Ending Tendon Injury
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller's (ankle) MRI exam showed a season-ending tendon injury to his ankle.

The Chicago Bears placed kicker Eddy Pineiro (groin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, and Cairo Santos is now expected to be the starting kicker in Week 1 against the Lions.

J.D. McKissic Listed As Starter For Washington
The Washington Football Team's first depth chart of the season lists running back J.D. McKissic as the starting running back.

Packers Working On New Deal With Aaron Jones
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones said the team is currently working on a new deal with him. "Yes they definitely are. My agent and them are taking care of that.

Buccaneers Officially Sign Josh Rosen
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed former Dolphins and Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad on Tuesday. Rosen, a first-round pick out of UCLA, hasn't lived up to that billing with two different teams so far in his time in the NFL. It's highly unlikely that he'll see the field in 2019 behind […]

The New Orleans Saints and Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara are "extremely close" to a lucrative new contract extension that the two sides are hoping to finalize in the next few days, according to sources.
