Broncos Defense Stands Firm Against Titans

The Denver Broncos Defense allowed Titans running back Derrick Henry to run for over 100 yards on the ground in the Monday night loss, but they held the league's rushing leader in 2019 to 3.7 yards per carry on his 31 rushing attempts. Missing defensive captain Von Miller (ankle), Denver's D held their own but […]

Jerry Jeudy Hurt By Drops In NFL Debut

Denver Broncos first-round rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy finished his NFL debut on Monday night in the 16-14 loss to the Titans with four catches on eight targets for 56 yards. The rookie was hurt by a couple big drops on third down in this one, but his precision route-running was on full display, creating […]

Noah Fant Leads Broncos In Receiving Against Titans

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had a team-high five catches for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown in the 16-14 Monday night loss to the Titans. Fant looked good in this one and is a favorite of quarterback Drew Lock, so he has clear TE1 upside in his second season in the league. […]

Phillip Lindsay Injures Foot In Season Opener

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) injured his foot in the first half of the 16-14 Monday night loss to the Titans and didn't return after halftime. Lindsay finished with seven carries for just 24 yards and one catch for 11 yards. We'll have to wait and see how serious Lindsay's injury is. If […]

Drew Lock Misses Some Opportunities In Week 1

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock went 22-for-33 for just 216 yards and one touchdown in the 16-14 loss to the Titans in Week 1 on Monday night. Lock look composed and made some nice throws, but he was also hurt by a few drops from rookie Jerry Jeudy and a big overthrow to DaeSean Hamilton […]

Phillip Lindsay Questionable To Return

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the Titans with a foot injury. Lindsay didn't return to the field after halftime. In the first half, he had seven carries for 24 yards and also caught his only passing target for 11 yards. Both Lindsay and […]

James Conner Suffers Ankle Sprain

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Monday night win over the Giants and will be examined on Tuesday. According to a source, the Steelers are "optimistic for a timely return." It's still a disappointing start for a player that missed six games due to […]

Nick Kwiatkoski Could Miss Some Time

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski's (pectoral) MRI exam confirmed that he didn't suffer a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 1 win over the Panthers, according to a source. He could still miss time, but the injury isn't as severe as it initially looked, and the Raiders are in the process of determining his […]

Broncos May Play It Safe With Courtland Sutton

The Denver Broncos haven't ruled out wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) against the Titans on Monday night, but he appears to be a long shot to play, according to a source. Sutton suffered an AC joint sprain a few days ago in practice. He'd likely play if it was a postseason game, but the Broncos […]

David Njoku Expected To Miss Three Weeks

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has a sprained medial collateral ligament and is expected to miss three weeks, according to a source. The Browns put Njoku on Injured Reserve on Monday, but it looks like he'll miss the minimum time with his knee injury. The 24-year-old caught all three […]

Browns Place David Njoku On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns placed tight end David Njoku (knee) on Injured Reserve with a knee injury on Monday. It's unclear exactly what the specifics of Njoku's knee injury are, but it sounds like he won't be out too long. He'll be forced to miss at least three weeks while on IR. He caught all three […]

Michael Thomas Dealing With High Ankle Injury

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) suffered a high ankle injury in the Week 1 win over the Buccaneers, but it's an injury he thinks he can play through, according to sources. Nobody is ruling Thomas out just yet for Week 2, with an extra day before the game against the Raiders on […]

Browns Signing Cody Parkey

The Cleveland Browns are signing kicker Cody Parkey to their 53-man roster on Monday, according to a source. It's a sign that Parkey will kick on Thursday night against the Bengals after Austin Seibert missed both of his attempts -- a 41-yard field-goal attempt and an extra point -- in the Week 1 blowout loss […]

Patriots Offense Tailored To Cam Newton's Strengths

The New England Patriots completely overhauled their offense to best suit quarterback Cam Newton, and it was on display in the Week 1 win over the Dolphins with a run-heavy offense with plenty of zone reads and quarterback keepers. Newton led the team in rushing on Sunday, taking 15 carries for 75 yards and two […]

Marlon Mack Out For Season With Torn Achilles

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (Achilles) will officially miss the rest of the 2020 season after suffering a torn Achilles in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. Mack had four carries for 26 yards and three catches for 30 yards before leaving with the injury in the second quarter. It comes after he […]

Leighton Vander Esch Out 6-8 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) cleanly broke his collarbone on Sunday night against the Rams, according to a source. He'll need surgery and will return in six to eight weeks. Vander Esch is a starting linebacker in IDP leagues on a weekly basis, but he continues to have trouble staying on the field. […]

Duke Johnson A Long Shot To Play In Week 2

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the game last Thursday against the Chiefs, is considered week-to-week and is a long shot to play in Week 2 against the Ravens, according to a source. However, he has a chance to play in Week 3, as it's not believed to be […]

Alshon Jeffery Officially Out For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. The good news is that Jeffery avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the year, but he's expected to miss multiple weeks. The 30-year-old has battled injuries and inconsistency for his fantasy managers […]

Denzel Mims, La'Mical Perine Ruled Out For Season Opener

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) and rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Bills. Mims is dealing with injuries to both of his hamstrings, so he might not even be ready for Week 2. Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan should […]

N'Keal Harry Questionable Against Miami

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) and rookie tight end Dalton Keene (neck) are both questionable for Week 1 against the Dolphins. Harry was reportedly a full practice participant on Friday, so he should be fine to play this weekend. The second-round wideout should see a healthy amount of targets from quarterback Cam […]

Mike Williams Officially Questionable Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Week 1 against the Bengals. Williams put in limited practices all week, giving him a chance to suit up in the regular season opener. However, he likely won't be 100 percent, and Philip Rivers was a much better fit for him than Tyrod Taylor […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Won't Play In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Browns. After a quiet rookie season in 2019, Hill doesn't have much of a path for a sophomore improvement in a backfield that also includes Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards and promising […]

Browns Defense To Be Without Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver) and linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens. Cleveland's secondary is short-handed with Williams and Johnson sidelined and rookie safety Grant Delpit on Injured Reserve. That's not a good combination with Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense […]

Danny Amendola, Jeff Okudah Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (hamstring) are questionable for Week 1 against the Bears. Amendola was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good chance of suiting up. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) doubtful to play, Amendola could see his fair share of targets from quarterback Matthew […]

Duke Johnson Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Thursday night loss to the Chiefs, is now questionable for the team's Week 2 contest against the Ravens, according to a source.

David Montgomery, Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin), wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee), wide receiver Javon Wims (Achilles) and linebacker Khalil Mack (knee) are all questionable for Week 1 against the Lions. Montgomery has practiced in full the last two days, however, so it sounds as though he'll be active in the season opener. If he's […]

Broncos Extend Brandon McManus For Four Years

The Denver Broncos are giving kicker Brandon McManus a four-year, $17.2 million contract extension on Friday, including $9.5 million fully guaranteed. McManus has one of the strongest legs in the NFL and kicks half his games in altitude in Denver. The 29-year-old has hit 81.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his six years in […]

Brandon Aiyuk Listed As Questionable

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Cardinals on Sunday. Aiyuk got in some practice time on Friday, so he definitely has a chance to make his NFL debut in the season opener. However, it remains to be seen how much he'd see the […]

Deebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Cardinals. Samuel didn't practice this week, but he's ahead of schedule and could make his season debut next week against the Jets. When he's ready to return, Samuel should be quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's No. 1 receiver, making him […]
