Christian McCaffrey Won't Practice Tuesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who has been designated to return from Injured Reserve, is wearing a red jersey again on Tuesday, which means he won't take part in practice. With the Panthers playing on Thursday night against the Falcons, it increases the likelihood that McCaffrey won't be available. The 24-year-old All-Pro will […]

Ravens Signing Dez Bryant

The Baltimore Ravens are signing wide receiver Dez Bryant to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. It's a notable signing for the three-time Pro Bowler, but this doesn't mean that the former Cowboys star receiver will make Baltimore's active roster at any point during the rest of the season. Bryant hasn't played […]

Antonio Brown Officially Signs With Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed wide receiver Antonio Brown on Tuesday, according to a source. Brown will receive a $750,000 base salary and $250,000 per game as a roster bonus.

Broncos Defense Gets Embarrassed In Week 7 Loss

The Denver Broncos Defense had a daunting matchup in Week 7 against the Super Bowl champions, and they proved they weren't up to the task in the 43-16 blowout loss on Sunday. It came a week after the defense stepped up to slow down Cam Newton and the Patriots in an upset win. But the […]

Brandon McManus Attempts One Field Goal In Week 7

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made his lone field-goal try from 43 yards out in the 43-16 blowout loss to the Chiefs on Sunday in the snow. The 29-year-old strong-legged booter disappointed any fantasy managers that picked up him up off the waiver wire and started him after he made all six of his field […]

Jerry Jeudy's Arrow Continues To Point Downward

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had another disappointing day for his fantasy managers in the Week 7 blowout loss to the division-rival Chiefs in a game played in the snow in Denver.

K.J. Hamler Returns For 34-Yard Performance

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler returned to action in Week 7 against the Chiefs after missing a month with a hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Jets. Hamler caught two of his three targets for 24 yards and also had a 10-yard run in the 43-16 blowout […]

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant missed the team's Week 5 game against the Patriots due to an ankle injury, but he returned for the 43-16 loss in Week 7 against the Chiefs. Fant drew seven targets from quarterback Drew Lock in the snowy conditions in Denver, but he was only able to haul in […]

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III ran the ball a team-high 17 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in the blowout loss to the Chiefs in Week 7, but he also lost two fumbles. Gordon caught two of his four targets for 12 yards. If it weren't for Phillip Lindsay -- who was […]

Drew Lock Runs For A TD In Blowout Loss

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock attempted a season-high 40 throws in the 43-16 blowout loss to the Chiefs in Week 7, completing 24 of them for 254 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. However, he somewhat salvaged his fantasy stat line by running the ball three times for eight yards and a touchdown. Lock […]

Leonard Fournette Good To Go Against Raiders

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 7 against the Raiders, according to head coach Bruce Arians. Fournette sat out in Weeks 4 and 6 and played only one snap in Week 5. It complicates things in Tampa's backfield, but Fournette will likely provide a change of pace […]

Lane Johnson Suffers Grade 1 Knee Sprain

An MRI exam confirmed that Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (knee) suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in the Thursday night win over the Giants, but he shouldn't have to miss much time, according to a source.

DeSean Jackson Going On Injured Reserve

An MRI exam on Friday confirmed that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) suffered a high-ankle injury in the Thursday night win over the Giants, and the Eagles will place him on Injured Reserve.

Joey Slye Activated From COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers activated kicker Joey Slye and offensive lineman Trent Scott from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and also placed cornerback Rasul Douglas on the COVID-19 list.

Austin Hooper Ruled Out Due To Appendicitis

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper is having surgery on Friday for appendicitis and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bengals, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Saquon Barkley To Have Surgery Next Week

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) is scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery next week now that his MCL injury has had time to heal.

Raiders Defense Won't Have Johnathan Abram Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders safety Johnathan Abram, who is currently isolating on the COVID-19 test after he was deemed a high-risk contact, will not be cleared in time to play in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.

Joe Mixon Ruled Out For Week 7

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Browns.

Joe Mixon Not Practicing Friday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) is not practicing on Friday. Although the Bengals are calling Mixon day-to-day, this will be his third straight missed practice of the week, which will make him extremely questionable to play in Week 7 against the Browns. The 24-year-old lead back has had at least 16 carries in […]

Zack Martin Ruled Out For Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Zack Martin (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Washington Football Team. A once-promising offensive line in Dallas has been gutted by injuries in 2020. After losing both starting tackles, Martin will now miss this Sunday's game. It will hurt the Cowboys rushing attack and running back Ezekiel […]

Sam Darnold Expected To Start Against Bills

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will start in Week 7 against the Bills, barring a setback in practice on Friday, according to a source. Darnold has been limited in practice this week, but it looks like he'll make his return after a two-game absence for the winless Jets. Buffalo's defense hasn't been nearly […]

George Iloka Suffers Torn ACL In Practice

Minnesota Vikings veteran safety and special teams contributor George Iloka (knee) suffered a torn ACL in practice on Wednesday and will undergo season-ending surgery, according to a league source.

Vikings Haven't Lost Faith In Kirk Cousins

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said that quarterback Kirk Cousins' shaky start to 2020 hasn't caused the franchise to lose faith in the signal-caller after they gave him a two-year, $66 million contract extension this spring. "You just kind of have to go back and look at the big picture," Spielman said. "But I […]

Raiders Have No New COVID-19 Positives

The Las Vegas Raiders had no more positive COVID-19 tests from their latest round of testing, a positive sign that their Week 7 game against the Buccaneers will be played as scheduled.

DeSean Jackson Believed To Have High-Ankle Sprain

The Philadelphia Eagles believe that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Thursday night win over the Giants, but he is undergoing an MRI exam on Friday to see if he'll need surgery, according to a source. Jackson had just returned from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury and […]

Broncos Defense Should Be Avoided Against Chiefs

The Denver Broncos Defense had one of their best performances of the season in the 18-12 upset win over the Patriots in Week 6. But even after turning the ball over three times last weekend and holding New England to only 12 points, Denver's D still ranks only 20th in the league with 4.8 fantasy […]

Broncos Can't Rely On Brandon McManus' Leg Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was the hero for both the Broncos and for fantasy managers that started him in the Week 6 win over the Patriots. He accounted for all of the team's 18 points on his six made kicks, including two from 50-plus yards out and two from 40-plus yards. McManus has one […]

Albert Okwuegbunam May Fall Back Into Anonymity

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam was second on the team with six targets in his NFL debut in the Week 6 win over the Patriots, catching two passes for 45 yards. It was a nice showing for the large-bodied and speedy tight end in his first-ever NFL game. But with Noah Fant (ankle) […]
