Bradley Roby Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Houston Texans cornerback Bradley Roby will not travel with the team and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Jaguars.

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder), who aggravated the AC joint injury in his right shoulder last week, is not expected to start on Monday night against the division-rival Patriots.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said that […]

Steelers Defense To Be Without Mike Hilton

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Mike Hilton (shoulder) was limited in practice all week, but he's listed as doubtful for Week 9 against the Cowboys.

Vance McDonald Questionable Against Cowboys

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (illness) is questionable for Week 9 against the Cowboys with a non-COVID-19-related illness. McDonald first showed up on the injury report on Friday and didn't practice. McDonald just hasn't been relevant in fantasy this year with Eric Ebron the team's primary pass-catching tight end. The 30-year-old has only eight […]

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will not make the trip to Washington for Sunday's game, according to sources.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Panthers after being listed as questionable on Friday.

Tennessee Titans pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney (knee), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Bears after not practicing all week, is dealing with a meniscus issue, according to sources.

Christian McCaffrey Activated From Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers officially activated running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) and defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) from Injured Reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday.

Kenyan Drake Won't Play In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Dolphins. Drake was injured in Week 7 and had the bye week to heal up, but he'll miss at least one game. Chase Edmonds will step in as the replacement against Miami, and he should see the lion's share […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is listed as questionable for the divisional matchup in Week 9 against the Chargers. Jacobs got in a full practice on Wednesday and was limited on Friday, so he should be good to go for this one and should remain in the RB1 ranks this weekend. […]

Sammy Watkins Questionable Against Panthers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and defensive end Frank Clark (knee) are questionable for Week 9 against the Panthers. Watkins was limited in practice all week, so he has a shot at returning for the first time since Week 5. Like both Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson, Watkins will be a risky […]

Marcus Johnson, Mo Alie-Cox Questionable For Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marcus Johnson (knee) and tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Ravens. T.Y. Hilton (groin) is doubtful and Ashton Dulin (knee) is out, so the Colts could be very short-handed at receiver against Baltimore. Zach Pascal and rookies Michael Pittman Jr. and Dezmon Patmon would […]

Dawson Knox Questionable Against Seahawks

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (calf) is listed as questionable for the Week 9 game against the Seahawks. Knox returned to practice on Thursday after coming off the COVID-19 list and was limited the last two days.

Falcons Defense Will Be Missing Key Defenders

Atlanta Falcons defensive ends Dante Fowler (hamstring) and Takkarist McKinley (groin, illness) and cornerback Jordan Miller have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Broncos. It's more good news for a Denver offense that overcame a 21-point second-half deficit to beat the Chargers as time expired in Week 8. The Falcons Defense ranks 24th […]

Chargers Defense Likely To Be Without Joey Bosa

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (concussion) is doubtful to play against the division-rival Raiders in Week 9.

Bo Scarbrough Trying Out For Seahawks

Free-agent running back Bo Scarbrough will try out for the Seattle Seahawks. Scarbrough was buried on Detroit's crowded backfield depth chart and was let go this year before playing at all.

Tim Patrick Receives Questionable Tag For Week 9

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons.

The 26-year-old has been one of Denver's most reliable aerial targets this year without Courtland Sutton (knee) in […]

Phillip Lindsay Questionable To Face Falcons

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) is questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons. Despite being questionable, Lindsay is expected to play after getting in a full practice on Friday. Injuries continue to get in the way, but the 26-year-old has been the better ball-carrier than Melvin Gordon III each of the last two […]

Cole Kmet Questionable For Week 9

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Cole Kmet (groin) is questionable to play in Week 9 against the Titans. Kmet got in a limited practice on Friday, at least giving him a chance to play this Sunday. The 21-year-old from Notre Dame is a well-rounded tight end prospect, but he isn't rosterable in single-year formats while […]

Mark Ingram II, Chris Moore Doubtful Against Colts

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) and wide receiver Chris Moore (thigh) are listed as doubtful for Week 9 against the Colts. Ingram had the Week 7 bye to heal up, but he's still likely to miss his second straight game. Rookie J.K. Dobbins will likely see his role expand in the second […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Aldon Smith Questionable Against Steelers

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) and defensive end Aldon Smith (knee) are questionable to face the Steelers in Week 9. Elliott was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good shot of playing. Smith was also limited all week. There are a handful of things going against Elliott this weekend, […]

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) and quarterback Drew Brees (shoulder) were taken off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Buccaneers and will be active for the important divisional showdown on Sunday night.

Shohei Ohtani Begins Throwing Program

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (forearm) is currently throwing from 120 feet at 75-80 percent intensity, and the Angels plan to have the right-hander back as a two-way player in 2021.
