Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and running backs Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Also, defenders Dee Ford (back) and Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) missed another practice. The 49ers are one of the most beat up teams through two weeks, as they also […]

Royce Freeman Can't Be Trusted In Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman is likely to operate as the backup to Melvin Gordon in Week 3 against the Buccaneers with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf with turf toe. However, Freeman saw just three carries for 20 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers and just isn't seeing enough touches, […]

Phillip Lindsay Not On Track To Return In Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) missed practice on Wednesday and doesn't appear likely to return to action in Week 3 against the Buccaneers after sitting out in Week 2 with turf toe. Lindsay initially suffered the injury in the season-opener, and his timetable was set for two to four weeks. His injury makes […]

Melvin Gordon III Will Be Usage-Based RB2

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon should continue to see a heavy workload with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf. Gordon ran the ball 19 times for 70 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers. The Buccaneers Defense has allowed 26.4 fantasy points […]

Jeff Driskel Facing Tough Challenge In Week 3 Start

Denver Broncos quarterback Jeff Driskel will be the starter heading into Week 3 against the Buccaneers with Drew Lock (shoulder) out for a while. Driskel held his own in a comeback attempt against a very tough Steelers Defense last week in relief, throwing for 256 yards and two touchdowns. The 27-year-old can run a bit […]

George Kittle Has A Chance To Play In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) has a chance to play in Week 3 against the Giants after sitting out in Week 2 with a knee sprain and a bone bruise in the same knee. It's a good sign that Kittle is on the team's trip to the East Coast, and he was […]

Alshon Jeffery May Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) is on the practice field on Thursday with a helmet and looks to be ready to get some practice work in. Everything is pointing to Jeffery being ready to make his 2020 season debut within the next few weeks after he underwent surgery for a foot sprain last […]

Breshad Perriman, Chris Hogan On Week 3 Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) will not practice on Thursday, while wide receiver Chris Hogan (rib) is limited while dealing with a rib injury. On top of it, Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is expected to miss his second straight game against the Colts. Braxton Berrios and Josh Malone are the only other wideouts […]

Jamison Crowder Doubtful For Week 3

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Colts. Crowder didn't practice on Wednesday and is expected to sit out on Thursday, too, making him likely to miss his second straight game. As quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite weapon, Crowder is […]

Vikings Defense Signing Todd Davis

The Minnesota Vikings are signing former Denver Broncos linebacker Todd Davis to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. It'll give the Vikings some depth at the position following the season-ending injury to Anthony Barr (pectoral). Davis had two straight seasons of 100-plus tackles in Denver, so he could really help the Vikings […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Trending In The Right Direction

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest), who is questionable for the Thursday night game against the Dolphins, is trending upward, but no final decision on his status will be made until closer to kickoff, according to a source. Chark has been limited in practice the last two days, so he has a […]

Drew Brees Says He Feels Great

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said he feels "borderline great" despite a disappointing performance in the Monday night loss to the Raiders in Week 2. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer completed 26 of 38 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown and a passer rating of 91.1, but he also threw an ugly interception […]

Michael Thomas Absent At Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday while he tries to recover from a high ankle sprain. Thomas missed the Monday night loss to the Raiders and could miss several more weeks. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to get the All-Pro receiver back in Week 3 against the Packers. […]

Davante Adams Misses Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not a great start to the week, but Adams still has two more days to get back on the field heading into Week 3 against the Saints in what could be a high-scoring affair. The 27-year-old went off for 14 catches, […]

Julio Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), who aggravated his injury in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, did not practice on Wednesday. While the veteran Jones often misses practice and plays through nagging injuries, this is one to keep a close eye on the rest of the week leading up to Week 3 […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Unlikely To Play In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he'd be surprised if quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is ready to play in Week 3 against the Giants. Shanahan expects Nick Mullens to get the start. Garoppolo is dealing with a minor high ankle sprain and is week-to-week for now. The Niners have a favorable matchup […]

Byron Jones Ruled Out For Dolphins Defense

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (Achilles, groin) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Jaguars. Also, safety Clayton Fejedelem (pectoral) is considered doubtful for Week 3. The Dolphins secondary might be even more vulnerable in this one, which is good news for Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II and receivers D.J. Chark […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Questionable For Thursday Night

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (back, chest) is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Dolphins. Chark was limited in practice this week, so he should have a good shot at playing in Week 3. The 24-year-old has 109 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven catches through two weeks, so […]

Jaguars Put Josh Lambo On Injured Reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars are placing kicker Josh Lambo (hip) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Brandon Wright will be the team's kicker in the Week 3 game on Thursday night against the Dolphins. It sounds as if Lambo has a chance to return in around a month, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old is perfect on […]

Jalen Reagor Has UCL Tear In His Thumb

The Philadelphia Eagles are saying that rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) is dealing with a UCL tear in his thumb. The first-round pick left the game in the Week 2 loss to the Rams but returned and played through the injury. With Reagor expected to miss a few weeks, the Eagles are expected to […]

Justin Herbert To Start Against Panthers

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to make his second straight start in Week 3 against the Panthers with Tyrod Taylor (lung) dealing with a punctured lung. Herbert had a costly interception late in Week 2, but he held his own and looked impressive on short notice against the Super Bowl champion […]

Panthers Place Christian McCaffrey On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with his high ankle sprain. The move will keep McCaffrey out for at least three weeks. The team placed a four- to six-week timeline on his return on Tuesday. Carolina wants to make sure that their star running back doesn't try […]

Julio Jones' Hamstring Injury Worsened In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) further strained his hamstring in Week 2 against the Cowboys, and the team will take his injury "through the week," leading up to the game on Sunday against the Bears. So there's a real chance that the All-Pro receiver won't play this […]

49ers Defense Signs Ziggy Ansah

The San Francisco 49ers signed pass-rusher Ziggy Ansah on Wednesday and promoted defensive lineman Dion Jordan to the active roster after they placed defensive ends Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) on Injured Reserve. San Francisco is bringing in some replacements with Dee Ford (back) also out for Week 3 against the Giants. Ansah […]

Tyrod Taylor Advised Not To Play Indefinitely

It's unlikely that Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (lung) will be 100 percent healthy for the Week 3 game against the Panthers. Taylor experienced chest pain from a pregame injection for his ribs before the Week 2 game against the Chiefs and was taken to the hospital, paving the way for rookie Justin Herbert […]

Giants Place Sterling Shepard On Injured Reserve

The New York Giants placed wide receiver Sterling Shepard (toe) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Shepard will miss at least the next three weeks with his turf-toe injury. It was a rough Week 2 for the G-Men, as they lost Shepard for at least three weeks and star running back Saquon Barkley (knee) for the […]

Darren Waller Can Line Up Anywhere

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller, who had 12 catches on a whopping 16 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Monday night win over the Saints, had at least one reception from all four skill-position alignments. The breakdown was as follows: Fourteen routes at tight end (six catches, 44 yards and […]

Bruce Arians Not Surprised By Rob Gronkowski's Slow Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said he's "not really" surprised that tight end Rob Gronkowski has just four targets in the first two games of the season. His lone target in the Week 2 win over the Panthers was intercepted. "We're not throwing the ball 50 times to the tight ends. That's what […]

Devonta Freeman Could Play In Week 3

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman, who signed a one-year deal worth up to $3 million on Tuesday, will officially sign his contract Wednesday morning and then practice with the team, and he could play as soon as this Sunday against the 49ers. Freeman reportedly turned down more money elsewhere because he like the […]

Seahawks Putting Phillip Dorsett II On Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks are placing wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Dorsett will be eligible to return in three weeks, and it'll give him some time to let his injured foot heal. The earliest he'll be able to return will be in Week 6. He hasn't […]
