Adam Thielen Will Be Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Chiefs, will test his right hamstring before the game to determine if he'll be active. Thielen missed last Thursday's game and was limited in practice this week while wearing a sleeve on his leg. Even at less than 100 percent […]

Amari Cooper Putting Off Contract Talks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper said he'd prefer to wait until after the season to revisit contract-extension talks. There hasn't been much going on between Cooper and the Cowboys of late. There's no rush to get anything done in the middle of the season, and the Cowboys still need to consider an extension for […]

Ed Dickson To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee), who is still on the Injured Reserve, will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Dickson has yet to make his season debut, but he could immediately become the team's top pass-catching tight end with Will Dissly out for […]

Lions Defense Won't Have Tracy Walker Sunday

Detroit Lions defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Raiders. Walker has been one of the most productive safeties in IDP leagues, so you'll have to look elsewhere if you've been rolling with him this year. His absence boosts the outlooks of Raiders […]

Tra Carson, Damon Harrison Questionable

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Raiders. Carson led the backfield in carries in the first week without Kerryon Johnson, but the Lions still operated as more of a three-headed monster with rookie […]

Cameron Brate Questionable Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) got in a full practice on Friday but is questionable for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate should be able to suit up and has another opportunity to produce as a tight end streamer with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out for the second straight game. Brate didn't capitalize […]

James White, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable

New England Patriots running back James White (toe), wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest, shoulder) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are questionable for Sunday night against the Ravens. Tight ends Ryan Izzo (concussion) and Matt LaCosse (knee) are also questionable. White is the one to watch here, as he was added to the injury report […]

David Johnson Expected To Return In Week 10

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back David Johnson (ankle) is expected to return in Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Johnson has been inactive the last two games and was a non-factor on several touches the week before. He should be back on the RB1 map next week against Tampa, although recently […]

Darren Sproles Will Return In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) got in a full practice on Friday and has been taken off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Bears. The 36-year-old hasn't played since Oct. 6 and isn't guaranteed to play a ton of snaps behind Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders. Sproles has 15 […]

Jeff Heuerman Ruled Out

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Browns. Heuerman hasn't been fantasy relevant all year, but his absence is notable for rookie Noah Fant after posting season highs in catches (five) and targets (nine) in Week 8 against the Colts. It remains to be seen if […]

Sterling Shepard Set To Return Monday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is set to return to action in Week 9 against the Cowboys on Monday night. It would be the first time that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones has all of Shepard, Saquon Barkley, Golden Tate and Evan Engram on the field […]

Delanie Walker Ruled Out Against Panthers

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Panthers. It'll be Walker's second straight absence, and he's no lock to return in Week 10. The aging veteran has been dropped in most shallow leagues. Jonnu Smith should continue to benefit by Walker's […]

Patriots Activate N'Keal Harry

The New England Patriots are activating rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a source. The 32nd overall pick of the draft can make his NFL debut in Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night, but it's unclear how much playing time he'd receive if he's active. The […]

James Conner Doubtful To Face Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) hasn't practiced all week and is doubtful for Week 9 against the Colts. It's a shame after Conner had his best game of the season last Monday night, but you'll need to remove him from your starting lineups with Sunday approaching. He'll be questionable to return in Week […]

Davante Adams Listed As Questionable Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) will be listed as questionable, and a decision on his status for Week 9 against the Chargers will be announced 90 minutes before the game. So he's a game-time decision. Adams was limited all week and seems to be on the […]

T.Y. Hilton Ruled Out Against Steelers

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Steelers. It will be only his sixth missed game in his eight-year career. The Colts have been 0-5 when he sits out. As such, this could be an injury that lingers for the team's No. 1 wideout, so he […]

Adam Thielen Listed As Questionable

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is officially questionable for Week 9 against the Chiefs. Thielen is optimistic about playing after sitting out last Thursday, but it's not a lock that he'll play. He could be a true game-time decision, so you'll need to check the inactives list Sunday morning. Thielen should be fired […]

Jets Not Optimistic On Chris Herndon IV, Kelvin Beachum

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase isn't optimistic that tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) and left tackle Kelvin Beachum (ankle) will be able to play in Week 9 against the Dolphins. Despite getting in limited practices, it appears that Herndon just isn't quite ready. It's a shame, too, as he would've had TE1 […]

Patrick Mahomes Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Patrick Mahomes (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Vikings. Mahomes continues to practice on a limited basis, but Week 10 is the better target date for his return. Expect Matt Moore to get his second straight start this Sunday. While he was pretty solid in Week […]

DeSean Jackson Plans To Play Against Bears

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) said the plan is for him to play in Week 9 against the Bears for the first time since his injury in Week 2. Jackson's return would push Mack Hollins to the bench, while his presence in the offense should open things up more for Alshon Jeffery and […]

N'Keal Harry Could Return This Weekend

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been non-committal on whether rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) will be activated from the Injured Reserve and play in Week 9 on Sunday night against the Ravens. Working in Harry's favor is his role on special teams. The rookie has yet to play this year, but […]

O.J. Howard Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has ruled out tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) for Week 9 against the Seahawks. It'll be Howard's second straight absence, and it's just more disappointment for the biggest bust at the position in football this year. Howard has been dropped in most leagues. Cameron Brate didn't exactly capitalize […]

Joe Flacco Placed On IR, Season Over

The Denver Broncos placed quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Friday, according to a source. Backup Brandon Allen will start in Week 9 against the Browns, with the team promoting Brett Rypien from the practice squad. The 34-year-old Flacco was a failed experiment for Denver, as he looked done in 2019. He […]

Alex Gordon Becomes Free Agent

The Kansas City Royals will decline outfielder Alex Gordon's $23 million option and buy him out for $4 million. He'll become a free agent, but the Royals are hoping to bring him back at a rate that makes sense. The 35-year-old just isn't worth the $23 million these days. He wasn't as bad as expected […]

Case Keenum, Chris Thompson, Vernon Davis Ruled Out

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion), running back Chris Thompson (toe) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) have all been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bills. Rookie Dwayne Haskins will make his first career start under center, but he's a last-gasp QB2 for those desperate owners against a strong Bills Defense on the […]

49ers Defense Loses Kwon Alexander For Season

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral on Thursday night and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. In eight games in 2019, Alexander had 34 tackles, half a sack, one forced fumble and an interception as one of the better all-around linebackers in the league. His […]

Cardinals Release Alfred Morris

The Arizona Cardinals released running back Alfred Morris on Friday, according to a source. The veteran back had just one carry for four yards in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. The Cards recently acquired Kenyan Drake from the Dolphins, and he looked surprisingly good against a strong defense. Arizona also has David Johnson, Chase […]

Leonard Williams To Play Big Role For Giants Defense

New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who was just acquired from the Jets, will "definitely" play a big role on Monday night against the Cowboys in his first game, according to defensive coordinator James Bettcher. Bettcher thinks the team's system should work in Williams' favor and should allow him to get upfield more often. […]

Dwayne Haskins Will Make First Start Sunday

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins will make his first career start in Week 9 against the Bills with Case Keenum (concussion) sidelined. It's the worst possible matchup for Haskins to get in his starting debut in the NFL. It's on the road against a very strong defense that has been limiting opposing signal-callers for […]

Marquise Brown, Jimmy Smith Expected To Play

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he expects rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) and cornerback Jimmy Smith (knee) to play in Week 9 on Sunday night against the Patriots. Brown will be returning after a two-game absence only to be shadowed by stud cornerback Stephon Gilmore. The talented rookie will have more bust […]
