Nick Foles Named Starter Heading Into Week 4

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced on Monday that quarterback Nick Foles is now their starting quarterback after relieving Mitchell Trubisky in Week 3 and leading an improbable comeback over the Falcons. Foles pulled another rabbit out of his hat by going 16-for-29 for 188 yards, three touchdowns and an interception against Atlanta, and […]

Brandon McManus Sees Little Work In Week 3 Loss

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus only attempted two kicks in the 28-10 Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers -- a successful 56-yard kick and an extra point. The 56-yarder was nice and might've awarded fantasy managers with bonus points, but the bottom line is that Denver's weakened offense just isn't providing the strong-legged kicker with […]

Noah Fant Doesn't Do Much With 10 Targets

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant was targeted a team-high 10 times in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers, but he was only able to reel in five catches for 46 yards. It was evident that backup quarterback Jeff Driskel is a clear step down from Drew Lock (shoulder) under center, which will negatively […]

K.J. Hamler Quiet In Week 3 Loss

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler caught three of his five targets for only 30 yards in the 28-10 Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers. Hamler ran the ball once but lost two yards in the process. The speedy youngster has big-play ability, but it'll probably be few and far between that he can […]

Tim Patrick Scores Team's Lone Week 3 Touchdown

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick caught all four of his passes for 43 yards and the team's only touchdown in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday by a score of 28-10. The efficiency was nice, but both the ceiling and floor are incredibly low for Patrick in an offense currently led […]

Jerry Jeudy Leads Denver In Receiving In Loss To Bucs

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy finished the 28-10 Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers with five catches on nine targets for a team-leading 55 yards. Jeudy has yet to find the end zone in his rookie season, but he was second on the team in targets and will continue to serve as the […]

Royce Freeman Has Just Four Touches In Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman tallied only four touches -- two carries for four yards and two catches for 31 yards -- in the 28-10 Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers. Even with Phillip Lindsay (toe) sidelined by turf toe, Freeman continues to be an afterthought in this offense behind Melvin Gordon III, and […]

Melvin Gordon III Held Out Of End Zone

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III carried the ball just eight times for 26 yards and caught four of his six targets for an additional 12 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers. The Broncos weren't able to get anything going on offense under backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and were playing from […]

Jeff Driskel Has A Rough Game Against Buccaneers

Denver Broncos quarterback Jeff Driskel looked like a backup in the 28-10 Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers, completing just 17 of his 30 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked five times and has been sacked a whopping 11 times in the last two weeks after being forced into […]

Chris Carson's Knee Ligaments Are Intact

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson's (knee) MRI exam on Monday confirmed that his ligaments are intact and he's dealing with just a minor knee sprain, according to a source. Carson has a chance to be ready for the Week 4 contest against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old will remain a strong […]

DeSean Jackson's Injury Expected To Be Minor

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is undergoing tests on his hamstring on Monday, but the belief is that he's dealing with a minor strain, according to sources. The Eagles were extra cautious with the oft-injured speedster in the Week 3 tie against the Bengals. However, his availability for Week 4 against the 49ers […]

Jabrill Peppers Dealing With Low Ankle Sprain

New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers (ankle), who limped off the field in pain in the Week 3 loss to the 49ers, is believed to have suffered a low ankle sprain, according to a source. The injury looked bad on Sunday, but it appeared worse than it is. Julian Love replaced Peppers in the secondary […]

Chase Young's Injury Not Believed To Be Serious

Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young's (groin) injury is not believed to be serious, but he'll undergo tests on Monday to make sure. It looks like Washington has dodged a bullet with the second overall pick in the draft. They'll definitely need the young pass-rusher if they hope to slow down Lamar Jackson […]

Andrus Peat Has High Ankle Sprain

The initial diagnosis on New Orleans Saints offensive guard Andrus Peat (ankle) showed a high ankle injury, according to a source. Peat will undergo more tests on Monday after getting injured in the Sunday night loss to the Packers, but high ankle injuries can sideline players up to six weeks, so don't be surprised if […]

Chris Carson Believed To Have Sprained Knee

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (knee) is believed to have suffered a sprained knee in the Week 3 win over the Cowboys, according to a source. The injury should allow him to return to the field shortly, pending the results of his MRI exam on Monday. Before going down in the fourth quarter, Carson […]

Texans Not Interested In Antonio Brown

The Houston Texans have no interest in signing free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown. Houston traded All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals in the offseason and have gotten off to an 0-2 start against tough competition. They have a full receiver room, though, with Brandin Cooks, Will Fuller V, Randall Cobb, Kenny Stills, DeAndre Carter […]

Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman Ruled Out Against Colts

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receivers Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts. It'll be Crowder's second straight missed game. The Jets offense is an absolute disaster right now, as running back Le'Veon Bell is also out for multiple weeks. […]

Alshon Jeffery Ruled Out This Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bengals. Jeffery has yet to play this season but is trending upwards and has a chance to make his 2020 debut within the next few weeks, barring some sort of setback. The Eagles […]

Kenny Golladay Limited For Second Straight Day

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday but is in line to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Cardinals. Golladay suffered a strained hamstring in practice on Sept. 9 and has missed the first two games of the season. Normally a […]

A.J. Brown Misses Another Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It's not a good sign for the 23-year-old after he missed the Week 2 game. Brown will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a shot at suiting up this Sunday against the Vikings. Have […]

Broncos Defense No Longer In Streaming Consideration

The Denver Broncos Defense must disrupt Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady in Week 3 to have a chance at avoiding an 0-3 start on the season. Linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu has stepped up in Von Miller's (ankle) absence, starting across from former fifth overall pick Bradley Chubb. The young secondary of Essang Bassey and Michael Ojemudia will […]

Brandon McManus Remains Off The Fantasy Radar

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has a big leg and kicks half of his games in altitude, but he just hasn't been worth putting in starting lineups just yet in 2020. McManus didn't attempt a field goal in the season-opening loss to the Titans, but he connected on two of his three tries in the […]

Noah Fant Becoming Trustworthy Tight End Option

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has caught nine of his 11 targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns through two games this season and has even more fantasy upside now that receiver Courtland Sutton (knee) is out for the rest of the year. Even with quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) out and backup Jeff Driskel […]

Tim Patrick Can Be Avoided Against Buccaneers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick will be in three-receiver sets moving forward now that Courtland Sutton (knee) is done for the rest of the 2020 season. Patrick will be behind rookie wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler and tight end Noah Fant in the passing-game pecking order, though, which will leave him very […]

K.J. Hamler's Role To Increase Without Courtland Sutton

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler, who caught three of his seven targets in his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Steelers for 48 yards, will have an expanded role moving forward with Courtland Sutton (knee) done for the year. Hamler played the second-most snaps of any Broncos receiver last week and had […]

Julio Jones Not On The Field Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jones aggravated his hamstring in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, but he's attempting to play through the injury, as he's so often done before while remaining productive for fantasy managers. The All-Pro wideout had just two catches […]

Michael Thomas Misses Practice Again

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) missed another practice on Thursday. Thomas has missed the last two days of practice this week and is likely to miss his second straight game as he tries to return from the dreaded high ankle sprain. With the Week 3 game on Sunday night against the Packers, […]

Jerry Jeudy Suddenly Denver's No. 1 Receiver

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has become the team's top wideout now that Courtland Sutton (knee) is out for the rest of the year. Jeudy was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he's expected to be ready for the Week 3 matchup against the Buccaneers. The Alabama product has eight catches (15 targets) […]

Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and running backs Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Also, defenders Dee Ford (back) and Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) missed another practice. The 49ers are one of the most beat up teams through two weeks, as they also […]

Royce Freeman Can't Be Trusted In Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman is likely to operate as the backup to Melvin Gordon in Week 3 against the Buccaneers with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf with turf toe. However, Freeman saw just three carries for 20 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers and just isn't seeing enough touches, […]
