David Montgomery Has A Chance To Play In Week 1

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin) told NFL Network's Stacey Dales that he's one step closer to feeling healthy after not doing much in practice on Wednesday to "be safe." Montgomery thought that he initially tore something when he suffered the injury on Aug. 26. He was listed as limited on the injury report […]

Chargers Defense In Play In Week 1

The Los Angeles Chargers Defense is in play as a starting fantasy unit in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Chargers D lost a key contributor in safety Derwin James (knee) for the season, they still have a dominant pass rush led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Rookie linebacker Kenneth Murray could […]

Texans Optimistic That Brandin Cooks Will Play

There is a lot of optimism that Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quadriceps) will make his debut with the team on Thursday Night Football in Week 1 against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be if he's active. For a receiver that relies mostly on his speed to be […]

Tyrod Taylor On Week 1 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (calf) is on the team's Week 1 injury report, but he got in a full practice on Wednesday and should be fine for the season opener at the Bengals on Sunday. The Chargers officially named Taylor the starter to open the season last week, while first-round rookie Justin Herbert […]

Von Miller To Have Surgery On Ankle

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) visited with Dr. Robert Anderson on Thursday and will have surgery to fix his dislocated tendon, according to a source. Miller will be out for at least three months and is unlikely to play in 2020. It's a huge blow to Denver's defense, as Miller and Bradley Chubb were […]

Joshua Kelley Could Have Big Role In First Season

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley flashed his potential in training camp this year and could have a big role behind Austin Ekeler in his first year in the NFL. Head coach Anthony Lynn has been impressed with Kelley, especially his versatility as a pass-catcher. Even Ekeler thinks the UCLA product will be […]

Zach Ertz Frustrated By Contract Talks

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who recently broke off contract extension talks with the team, said that "it's been frustrating at times." Ertz said he wants to remain in Philadelphia, but "I don't know for sure if that feeling is mutual." The 29-year-old tight end wants a contract sooner than later, but the Eagles […]

Clay Matthews Open To Playing In 2020

Despite not being able to come to an agreement with the Denver Broncos after visiting them, free-agent linebacker Clay Matthews remains open to play in 2020, "provided it's the right opportunity for him and his family," agent Ryan Williams said in a statement. The Broncos are looking for some linebacking help after releasing Todd Davis […]

Justin Jackson Not On Week 1 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (toe) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report ahead of their game against the Bengals. Jackson fought a toe injury at the end of training camp, but he looks to be just fine ahead of the season opener. The 24-year-old might have to share repetitions […]

Hunter Henry A TE1 Entering Season Opener

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry should be considered a strong midrange TE1 for Sunday's season opener on the road against the Bengals. Playing on the franchise tag this year, Henry isn't worried too much about it and wants his play to do the talking. The 25-year-old from Arkansas has yet to play a […]

Will Keenan Allen Stay Steady In 2020?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has at least 97 catches for at least 1,196 yards in each of the past three seasons, and he's scored exactly six touchdowns in each of those years. But that would've been hard to replicate in 2020, even if it were still Philip Rivers, not Tyrod Taylor under center. […]

Raiders Defense Has Tall Task In Week 1

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has the unenviable task of trying to shut down All-Pro do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey in Week 1 on the road. McCaffrey had an MVP-caliber season last year, going over 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving with 19 total touchdowns. Pro Bowl linebacker Cory Littleton will be leaned on heavily […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Practices In Full

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Henderson had been heading in a positive direction prior to Wednesday, and his full participation puts him on track to be active for the Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Rookie Cam Akers is still […]

Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, D'Andre Swift Limited

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Danny Amendola (hamstring) and rookie running back D'Andre Swift (hip) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be good to go, barring any setbacks, for Week 1 against the Bears. Golladay is the clear No. 1 in Detroit and finished as a top-10 […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) did not practice on Wednesday. Hill saw just 55 carries in his rookie season and is behind Mark Ingram II and Gus Edwards on the depth chart, so he's firmly off the radar for starting lineups in Week 1 against the Browns. […]

Chargers Slowly Working Mike Williams Back In

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is slowly being worked back into practice this week. Williams was listed as a limited participant in practice, giving him a chance to play in Week 1 against the Bengals. However, even if Williams is active for the season opener, he […]

Mike Pouncey To Be Game-Time Decision Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that center Mike Pouncey (neck) will be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Bengals for an injury related to his neck injury from last year. Pouncey played in just five games last year because of his neck injury, so this is a concern for the […]

Jaguars Signing Dare Ogunbowale

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the process of signing former Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale on Wednesday after the special teams ace met with the Raiders earlier this week. Even in a Jacksonville backfield that no longer features Leonard Fournette, Ogunbowale, who is more of a pass-catching back, could struggle to carve out a role. […]

Devine Ozigbo Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Colts. Ozigbo performed well in training camp and was in line for some early down carries to begin the year after the team released Leonard Fournette, but he's not a lock to suit up in the season opener. […]

La'Mical Perine Misses Practice Wednesday

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Bills. Perine recently suffered a low-ankle sprain, but he's not expected to be out for long. That doesn't mean he'll necessarily be active for the season opener this Sunday, though, and he's third on the […]

Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims Practice In Full

New York Jets wide receivers Breshad Perriman (knee), Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) all practiced in full on Wednesday. All three players should be able to suit up in the Week 1 season opener on the road against the Bills. Perriman will be the team's de facto No. 1 receiver with Robby […]

Miles Sanders, Jalen Reagor Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) and rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders is considered day-to-day for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team, but it's a positive that he returned to practice at all. There's a chance that Philly could manage Sanders' workload early in […]

Julian Edelman On Week 1 Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Dolphins. Edelman somehow usually finds his way onto the injury report but usually plays, so we'd expect him to be active for the season opener this Sunday. Miami upgraded their secondary in […]

Amari Cooper On Track To Play In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) was a full practice participant on Wednesday after being limited recently with a hamstring issue. Fantasy managers never want a player to enter the season injured, but it looks like Cooper will suit up on Sunday for Week 1. The team's No. 1 wideout is more of a […]

Brandin Cooks Questionable For Thursday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quadriceps) is officially questionable for the Week 1 Thursday night game against the Chiefs. Cooks returned to a limited practice for the walkthrough on Wednesday. It's nothing new for Cooks, as he's had a history with injuries, particularly concussions. A speedy wideout with a lower-body injury is a big […]

Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk Miss Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) and cornerback Jason Verrett (hamstring) all missed practice on Wednesday. Samuel was activated from the Non-Football Injury list over the weekend, but he's no lock to play in Week 1 against Arizona. The same rings true for the rookie Aiyuk. With both receivers […]

Fred Warner Activated From COVID-19 List

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner was activated from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday. It looks as though the Niners defense will have Warner on hand for their Week 1 matchup on Sunday against the Cardinals. San Fran could look to ease the 23-year-old into action against Arizona's up-tempo offense, but those in IDP leagues […]

Vic Beasley Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans linebacker Vic Beasley returned to practice on Wednesday after he was activated to the 53-man roster on Saturday from the Non-Football Injury list. Beasley missed 10 unexcused days of training camp and also failed his initial physical with the team. The Titans Defense was already on the radar as a potential fantasy streamer, […]

Jalen Richard Enters Season As No. 2 Back

Las Vegas Raiders running back Jalen Richard will open the 2020 regular season as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, and he's also in line to return punts on special teams. Richard's third-down pass-catching role came into clearer focus when the team traded rookie Lynn Bowden Jr. to the Dolphins. Jacobs is expected to have […]

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 […]
