Cam Newton Unhappy With Week 3 Performance

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton said he was unhappy with how he played in the Week 3 win over the Raiders when he went 17-for-28 for 162 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Newton also ran nine times for only 27 yards. "Me, personally? With lackluster ball security, just a slow start offensively, this […]

Aldon Smith Leads NFL In Sacks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Aldon Smith is the NFL's leader in sacks through three weeks with four, ahead of T.J. Watt and Akiem Hicks, who both have 3.5. It's surprising, since Smith hadn't played a down of football since 2015 entering the 2020 season. Despite his three sacks of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in Week 3, […]

Younghoe Koo Expected To Miss Time

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (groin) is expected to miss time with a groin strain and could be placed on the short-term Injured Reserve, which would cause him to miss at least three weeks. It's a blow for fantasy managers that have been enjoying Koo's contributions in the early part of the season. The 26-year-old […]

Tarik Cohen's Season Is Officially Over

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed that running back Tarik Cohen (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 3 win over the Falcons, and he'll be placed on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. It's a tough loss for the Bears, as Cohen was a nice pass-catching option out of the backfield […]

Phillip Lindsay Trending In The Right Direction

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is "trending in the right direction" to play on Thursday night against the Jets. However, if Lindsay does play after missing the last two weeks, he'll be on a limited snap count. Even against a weak Jets Defense in Week 4, Lindsay […]

Jamal Adams, Jordyn Brooks Injured Sunday

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (groin) and rookie linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) were both injured in the team's Week 3 win over the Cowboys. Adams left the game with a groin strain and is day-to-day, while Brooks is dealing with an MCL sprain and will likely miss a couple of weeks. Adams, who is the […]

Earl Thomas Visiting With Texans Defense

The Houston Texans are conducting a visit with free-agent safety Earl Thomas on Monday after he was released by the Ravens on Aug. 23. Thomas would need to pass COVID-19 testing in order to play with Houston, but he'd be a big-name addition to the Texans secondary as they look to get in the win […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Has Surgery On Leg

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) underwent surgery to fix compartment leg syndrome in his calf on Sunday night, according to a source. The surgery was a success, but Pittman won't return until after the team's Week 7 bye. This could've been a lot worse for the rookie from USC, but he'll […]

Mekhi Becton Has A Chance To Play Thursday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that the team received good news on rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder), who was forced to miss the team's Week 3 loss to the Colts. "The MRI turned out better than really we were thinking last night. We’ll see how he gets through the week and […]

Broncos Defense Loses Jurrell Casey For The Season

Denver Broncos starting defensive tackle Jurrell Casey (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers and will miss the rest of the season. The Broncos traded for Casey this offseason, hoping that he'd be a key cog in the middle of the defensive line. Coupled with the season-ending injury to […]

Broncos Defense Unable To Stop Tom Terrific

The Denver Broncos Defense predictably had a tough time slowing Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady down in the 28-10 Week 3 loss. With a pair of rookie cornerbacks in Michael Ojemudia and Essang Bassey, Brady threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Denver's D was unable to force any turnovers and […]

Jaguars Signing Stephen Hauschka

The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing former Seahawks kicker Stephen Hauschka on Monday, according to a source. Hauschka was released by the Bills at the end of training camp when he was beat out by sixth-round rookie Tyler Bass. The 35-year-old latches on with the Jaguars after the team placed Josh Lambo on Injured Reserve last […]

Matt Ioannidis Done For The Season

Washington Football Team defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Week 3 loss to the Browns and will miss the rest of the 2020 season, according to a source. It's a blow to a defense that could also be missing first-round pass-rusher Chase Young (groin) in a tough Week 4 matchup […]

Chris Carson Could Miss Some Time

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson's (knee) first-degree sprained knee is considered a one- to two-week injury, according to a source, but the team wants to see how he recovers this week before making a determination. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Carson could be back soon, but they "just have to see how that […]

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 […]
