Falcons Fire Dan Quinn; Raheem Morris The Interim Coach

The Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn on Sunday night. Quinn becomes the second head coach in a week to be fired, with the Texans axing head coach Bill O'Brien last week. Raheem Morris will take over as the interim head coach for the 0-5 team after Quinn's dismissal. Morris was the head coach […]

Broncos Defense Could Be In Streaming Consideration

The Denver Broncos Defense hasn't been much of a fantasy option so far this year, coming into their Week 5 matchup against the Patriots ranked 26th in the league in overall fantasy points. It didn't help that they lost former Super Bowl MVP linebacker Von Miller (ankle) for the year right before the Week 1 […]

Brandon McManus Not An Excellent Play In Week 5

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus is coming off easily his best performance of the year when he made all seven of his kicks (three field goals, four extra points) in the Week 4 win over the lowly Jets. Not only did he make all seven of his kicks, but the 29-year-old was successful on two […]

Jake Butt, Nick Vannett Must Step Up With Noah Fant Out

With Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) out for Monday night's game against the Patriots, Jake Butt and Nick Vannett could see more targets in the passing game. Because both Butt and Vannett could take turns alternating at the position, neither player is worth a look for fantasy managers in starting lineups. Butt has […]

Noah Fant Ruled Out For Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for the Monday night contest against the Patriots in Week 5. Fant scored in each of the first two weeks but has seen his yardage total drop in each consecutive week. However, he's been targeted 27 times in four […]

DaeSean Hamilton To Have Bigger Role In Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton should be alongside Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick in three-receiver sets on Monday night against the Patriots with rookie K.J. Hamler (hamstring) ruled out. But even with tight end Noah Fant (ankle) also sidelined for this one, it might not amount to many looks for Hamilton, especially if quarterback […]

K.J. Hamler Ruled Out Against Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Patriots in Week 5. Hamler was injured in the Week 4 win over the Jets and wasn't targeted in the contest. The speedy rookie has only six receptions on 12 targets for […]

Tim Patrick Hoping To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick has been a surprise early in the season. He's stepped up with Courtland Sutton (knee) out for the season, and he could have another big game on Monday night against the Patriots with both tight end Noah Fant (ankle) and receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) ruled out. Patrick has at […]

Jerry Jeudy Could Do Some Damage Against Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been consistent through four games in his first NFL season. He hasn't gone over 62 yards in a single game yet, but he's had at least 55 yards in all four games and scored his first career touchdown in Week 4 on a nice 48-yard reception. Jeudy […]

Phillip Lindsay Returning After Three-Week Absence

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Patriots on Monday. Lindsay said his toe feels 100 percent. Melvin Gordon III remains the team's lead back, but Lindsay should eventually cut into his workload. The Broncos could ease […]

Melvin Gordon III Has A Lower Floor As RB2 Against Patriots

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had his best game of the season in Week 4 against the Jets, running the ball 23 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught two of his three targets for 11 yards. The performance was a combination of a great matchup and the fact that […]

Brett Rypien Could Get Another Start In Week 5

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien could be under center again in Week 5 on Monday night against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable to play. As expected, Rypien was very up and down in his first career start against the Jets last week, going 19-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in […]

Drew Lock Questionable For Monday Night

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Patriots. Lock may have a better shot at returning with the game moving back a day due to COVID-19 concerns, but he'll still probably be a game-time decision. The second-year quarterback injured […]

Jets Activate Le'Veon Bell From Injured Reserve

The New York Jets activated running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. In corresponding moves, the team signed offensive lineman Jimmy Murray to the active roster and elevated quarterback Mike White and defensive back Lamar Jackson from the practice squad. Linebacker Alec Ogletree and wide receiver Josh Malone were also released. Bell […]

Cam Newton, Stephon Gilmore Not Practicing Saturday

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore won't practice on Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19, but he ignored questions about who would start under center on Monday night against the Broncos if Newton isn't available for the second straight week. New England had no new […]

Carlos Hyde Questionable For Sunday Night

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Week 5 Sunday night game against the Vikings. Hyde was injured in Week 3 and sat out of last weekend's win over the Dolphins. If he misses another game, Travis Homer and rookie DeeJay Dallas will fight for scraps behind backfield leader […]

Deebo Samuel, Raheem Mostert Questionable For Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (illness) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee) are both questionable for Week 5 against the Dolphins. Samuel missed practice each of the last two days, while Mostert was a limited participant all week. Samuel doesn't have COVID-19, so he has a chance to play, but it's concerning that […]

John Ross III Not Expected To Play Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III (illness) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Ravens. Ross was unable to practice each of the last two days. The 25-year-old speedster hasn't been active since Week 2 and has only two catches on seven targets for 17 yards in two games this […]

Jordan Akins Questionable For Week 5

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle, concussion) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Jaguars. Akins was limited in practice the last two days, so it looks like he has a good chance to suit up this weekend. He's caught 14 of his 15 targets for 168 yards and a touchdown through […]

Josh Allen Questionable For Jaguars Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Josh Allen (knee), linebacker Myles Jack (ankle), rookie cornerback C.J. Henderson (shoulder) and defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale (ankle) are questionable for Week 5 against the Texans. Allen didn't practice all week, so the Jags could be without their top pass-rusher this Sunday. You'll need to go in another direction if you've […]

Henry Ruggs III Questionable Against Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (hamstring, knee) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Chiefs. Ruggs practiced in full on both Thursday and Friday, so he's expected to make his return against KC. However, the first-round rookie hasn't played since Week 2, so he might not play a full […]

Chris Hogan Questionable For Week 5

New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee, ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Hogan was limited in practice all week, so we'd expect him to suit up this Sunday. The former Patriots receiver surely has a path to more targets with Breshad Perriman (ankle) likely to miss another game, […]

Steven Sims Jr. Ruled Out Against Rams

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. (toe) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Rams. Washington actually placed Sims on Injured Reserve on Friday, which means he'll miss at least the next three weeks. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Week 3 and has only six catches on eight targets for 103 […]

Jamal Adams To Return After Bye Week

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that safety Jamal Adams (groin) should be ready to return after the team's Week 6 bye. Adams is being held out of action in Week 5 against the Vikings. The All-Pro safety had made a big impact for Seattle through two and a half games before his injury, […]

Cardinals-Jets On Track To Play Sunday

The presumptive positive COVID-19 test from a New York Jets player on Friday turned out to be a false positive. The Jets sent all their players and coaches home from the facilities on Friday out of an abundance of caution, but the team has since released a statement, saying, "We look forward to our game […]

DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery Ruled Out For Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Steelers. Cornerback Avonte Maddox (ankle) is also out. With rookie Jalen Reagor (thumb) and Dallas Goedert (ankle) on Injured Reserve, the Eagles are really hurting for pass-catchers. Greg Ward Jr. and rookie John Hightower figure […]

Julio Jones Questionable Against Panthers

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Panthers. Jones hasn't practiced all week, however, making him more unlikely to play after aggravating his hamstring injury last Monday. Jones' fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to suit up this weekend, and if he does, there's a good […]

Chase Young Questionable For Week 5

Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young (groin) is questionable for Week 5 against the Rams after sitting out last week. Young was limited in practice on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so it's looking like he'll be able to return this weekend. It's great news for a Washington defensive […]

Trenton Cannon To Serve As Mike Davis' Backup

With Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon (ankle) going on Injured Reserve this week, head coach Matt Rhule said that running back Trenton Cannon will serve as Mike Davis' backup. All-Pro Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is also on IR, so Carolina's running back depth is being tested. It's worth noting, but Cannon is unlikely to receive […]

Russell Okung To Return In Week 5

Carolina Panthers left tackle Russell Okung (groin) will play in Week 5 against the Falcons after missing the last two games. Cornerback Eli Apple has been ruled out. The return of Okung is good news for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who had his best game of the season in Week 4, throwing for 276 yards and […]
