Broncos Defense Loses Some Luster After Von Miller Injury

The Denver Broncos Defense can still be a borderline starting option for fantasy managers in 2020 after they were a late-round option in drafts, but the season-ending injury to All-Pro pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) lowers their overall ceiling. Denver lost Pro Bowl cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and defensive lineman Derek Wolfe in the offseason, but […]

Royce Freeman The Team's No. 3 Back

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman's spot on the 53-man roster was considered shaky before training camp, but he enters Week 1 against the Titans on Monday night as the No. 3 back behind Melvin Gordon III and Phillip Lindsay. Gordon and Lindsay could wind up sharing the workload in more of an even 50/50 […]

Drew Lock Says Offense Has Been Clicking

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock said something clicked for him and the offense over the final week of training camp practices. Denver's offense could benefit from an element of surprise on Monday night against the Titans, as no teams have film of offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's new offense. Lock said he's far more comfortable heading […]

Jerry Jeudy Has A Chance To Be Special

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has a chance to be special and have a phenomenal career in the NFL. Jeudy, a first-round pick in April, was listed as a co-starter with Tim Patrick at the receiver spot earlier this week, opposite Courtland Sutton. The Alabama product worked extensively with the first-team offense for […]

Noah Fant Being Moved Around In Offense

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant said "I'm moving around a lot and he's using me in different places," when asked about offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's approach in training camp. It remains to be seen how much the Broncos use two-tight end sets, but Fant will be the club's primary pass-catching tight end regardless. The […]

Phillip Lindsay's Stock On The Rise?

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was listed as a co-starter at the position with Melvin Gordon III when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. With Gordon dealing with a minor rib injury recently, the Broncos could go with more of a 50/50 split on Monday night against the Titans or use […]

Melvin Gordon III Listed As Co-Starter

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was listed as a co-starter with Phillip Lindsay when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. Gordon has also been bothered by a rib injury in the last week, but he returned to practice last Friday. The Broncos brought in the 27-year-old in free agency to […]

Courtland Sutton Remains Team's Top Offensive Weapon

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton looked great in training camp and is looking to take a step forward from his 2019 Pro Bowl season as the team's top offensive threat. Sutton has already shown his ability on the deep ball, but he impressed with his connection with quarterback Drew Lock on intermediate routes in […]

K.J. Hamler Highly Questionable For Week 1

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) was expected to increase his practice workload on Wednesday, but he is deemed "highly questionable" to play on Monday night against the Titans, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Linebacker Mark Barron (hamstring), who was injured last Friday, is also highly questionable. Hamler is very quick and […]

David Montgomery Has A Chance To Play In Week 1

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin) told NFL Network's Stacey Dales that he's one step closer to feeling healthy after not doing much in practice on Wednesday to "be safe." Montgomery thought that he initially tore something when he suffered the injury on Aug. 26. He was listed as limited on the injury report […]

Chargers Defense In Play In Week 1

The Los Angeles Chargers Defense is in play as a starting fantasy unit in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Chargers D lost a key contributor in safety Derwin James (knee) for the season, they still have a dominant pass rush led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Rookie linebacker Kenneth Murray could […]

Texans Optimistic That Brandin Cooks Will Play

There is a lot of optimism that Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quadriceps) will make his debut with the team on Thursday Night Football in Week 1 against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be if he's active. For a receiver that relies mostly on his speed to be […]

Tyrod Taylor On Week 1 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (calf) is on the team's Week 1 injury report, but he got in a full practice on Wednesday and should be fine for the season opener at the Bengals on Sunday. The Chargers officially named Taylor the starter to open the season last week, while first-round rookie Justin Herbert […]

Von Miller To Have Surgery On Ankle

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) visited with Dr. Robert Anderson on Thursday and will have surgery to fix his dislocated tendon, according to a source. Miller will be out for at least three months and is unlikely to play in 2020. It's a huge blow to Denver's defense, as Miller and Bradley Chubb were […]

Joshua Kelley Could Have Big Role In First Season

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley flashed his potential in training camp this year and could have a big role behind Austin Ekeler in his first year in the NFL. Head coach Anthony Lynn has been impressed with Kelley, especially his versatility as a pass-catcher. Even Ekeler thinks the UCLA product will be […]

Zach Ertz Frustrated By Contract Talks

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who recently broke off contract extension talks with the team, said that "it's been frustrating at times." Ertz said he wants to remain in Philadelphia, but "I don't know for sure if that feeling is mutual." The 29-year-old tight end wants a contract sooner than later, but the Eagles […]

Clay Matthews Open To Playing In 2020

Despite not being able to come to an agreement with the Denver Broncos after visiting them, free-agent linebacker Clay Matthews remains open to play in 2020, "provided it's the right opportunity for him and his family," agent Ryan Williams said in a statement. The Broncos are looking for some linebacking help after releasing Todd Davis […]

Justin Jackson Not On Week 1 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (toe) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report ahead of their game against the Bengals. Jackson fought a toe injury at the end of training camp, but he looks to be just fine ahead of the season opener. The 24-year-old might have to share repetitions […]

Hunter Henry A TE1 Entering Season Opener

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry should be considered a strong midrange TE1 for Sunday's season opener on the road against the Bengals. Playing on the franchise tag this year, Henry isn't worried too much about it and wants his play to do the talking. The 25-year-old from Arkansas has yet to play a […]

Will Keenan Allen Stay Steady In 2020?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has at least 97 catches for at least 1,196 yards in each of the past three seasons, and he's scored exactly six touchdowns in each of those years. But that would've been hard to replicate in 2020, even if it were still Philip Rivers, not Tyrod Taylor under center. […]

Raiders Defense Has Tall Task In Week 1

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has the unenviable task of trying to shut down All-Pro do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey in Week 1 on the road. McCaffrey had an MVP-caliber season last year, going over 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving with 19 total touchdowns. Pro Bowl linebacker Cory Littleton will be leaned on heavily […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Practices In Full

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Henderson had been heading in a positive direction prior to Wednesday, and his full participation puts him on track to be active for the Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Rookie Cam Akers is still […]

Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, D'Andre Swift Limited

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Danny Amendola (hamstring) and rookie running back D'Andre Swift (hip) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be good to go, barring any setbacks, for Week 1 against the Bears. Golladay is the clear No. 1 in Detroit and finished as a top-10 […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) did not practice on Wednesday. Hill saw just 55 carries in his rookie season and is behind Mark Ingram II and Gus Edwards on the depth chart, so he's firmly off the radar for starting lineups in Week 1 against the Browns. […]

Chargers Slowly Working Mike Williams Back In

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is slowly being worked back into practice this week. Williams was listed as a limited participant in practice, giving him a chance to play in Week 1 against the Bengals. However, even if Williams is active for the season opener, he […]

Mike Pouncey To Be Game-Time Decision Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that center Mike Pouncey (neck) will be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Bengals for an injury related to his neck injury from last year. Pouncey played in just five games last year because of his neck injury, so this is a concern for the […]

Jaguars Signing Dare Ogunbowale

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the process of signing former Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale on Wednesday after the special teams ace met with the Raiders earlier this week. Even in a Jacksonville backfield that no longer features Leonard Fournette, Ogunbowale, who is more of a pass-catching back, could struggle to carve out a role. […]

Devine Ozigbo Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Colts. Ozigbo performed well in training camp and was in line for some early down carries to begin the year after the team released Leonard Fournette, but he's not a lock to suit up in the season opener. […]

La'Mical Perine Misses Practice Wednesday

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Bills. Perine recently suffered a low-ankle sprain, but he's not expected to be out for long. That doesn't mean he'll necessarily be active for the season opener this Sunday, though, and he's third on the […]

Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims Practice In Full

New York Jets wide receivers Breshad Perriman (knee), Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) all practiced in full on Wednesday. All three players should be able to suit up in the Week 1 season opener on the road against the Bills. Perriman will be the team's de facto No. 1 receiver with Robby […]
