Josh Gordon Thinks He's Close To Returning

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, thinks that he's close to returning to play, according to a source. The Patriots will likely release him at this point, but he could be available to other teams as a free agent soon. It's a peculiar decision, but […]

Davante Adams Could Be Game-Time Decision

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Davante Adams' (toe) Week 8 status against the Chiefs could go right up until game time on Sunday night. Adams was stretching with the team on Wednesday for the first time since his injury in Week 4, but it won't guarantee that he's active […]

Malcolm Brown Missing Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Brown sat out in Week 7 and doesn't appear to be any closer to returning for this week's contest against the Bengals. Todd Gurley returned from his one-game absence last weekend but was spelled often by rookie Darrell Henderson in a blowout […]

Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Sidelined

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) all missed practice on Wednesday. All three players sat out in Week 7 against the Bears and are off to a bad start this week. The Saints have a bye in Week 9, so they could […]

Philip Rivers Will Have Russell Okung In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung (heart) will play in Week 8 against the Bears, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Okung has been out all year while recovering from a pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots. He returned to practice last week. Okung will be available this Sunday, but Lynn cautioned that he […]

O.J. Howard On Week 8 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It's a little odd with the Buccaneers coming off their bye. Howard has been one of the biggest fantasy busts at his position this year in the first year with Bruce Arians as head coach. They've vowed to […]

Chris Herndon IV Limited Wednesday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Herndon has yet to make his season debut due to a suspension and most recently his hamstring injury. But it looks like he's getting closer to seeing the field, and Week 8 against the Jaguars could be it. Quarterback Sam […]

Sam Darnold To Be Limited Wednesday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) will be limited in practice on Wednesday because of a toe injury he suffered in Monday's blowout loss to the Patriots. Darnold was awful against New England (four interceptions) and admitted to "seeing ghosts" while being mic'ed up for the game. He […]

DeSean Jackson Not Practicing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday. Jackson hasn't played since Week 2 and although he's been making progress in recent weeks, he doesn't appear any closer to getting back on the field. He'll need to practice either Thursday or Friday to have a shot at playing this Sunday against […]

Davante Adams Making Progress

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) stretched with the team on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a turf toe injury in Week 4 against the Eagles. It's great news, but it doesn't mean that Adams will return in Week 8 against the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. The fact that the […]

Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard Limited In Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barkley was dinged up in his return to action in Week 7, but he should be fine moving forward and is easily a top-three fantasy running back each and every week he's playing. Shepard […]

Delanie Walker, Corey Davis Miss Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) and wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. Walker left the game early in Week 7 and didn't return, making him questionable for this Sunday against the Buccaneers. Whether it be due to injury, age or the team's run-first offense, Walker has fallen into TE2 […]

Matt Ryan Expected To Play This Week?

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn expects quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) to play in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Ryan got in some practice on Wednesday, putting him on track to play this weekend after limping off in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 7 blowout loss to the Rams. Atlanta's offense went off […]

Emmanuel Sanders Expected To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Panthers. The 49ers acquired Sanders from the Broncos on Monday, and he'll immediately become their No. 1 wideout ahead of Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis. The change of scenery will be […]

Josh Gordon Placed On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Gordon was injured on Thursday night two weeks ago and sat out of Monday's blowout win over the Jets. There's a chance he'll return to the team later this year, but Gordon effectively won't be of much use to […]

Tyrell Williams Returns To Practice

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) got in a limited practice on Wednesday after missing the team's last two games. Williams has scored a touchdown in all four games he's played in this year, but he'll be a pretty shaky WR3 if he plays this Sunday against the Texans. The Houston secondary is beat […]

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Wednesday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is not practicing on Wednesday after injuring his shoulder in Week 7. Jacobs played through the injury in the loss to the Packers and was productive, so he should be able to suit up in Week 8 against the Texans. But fantasy owners will want to keep […]

A.J. Green Not Expected To Play In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 8 against the Rams. Green said on Sunday that his recovery hasn't been longer than he or the team expected, even though he didn't start the season on Injured Reserve. Green is a trade candidate and is unlikely to make his […]

Drew Brees Could Be Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that he might wait until Sunday morning to decide whether quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) will play against the Cardinals in Week 8. Brees has made a quick recovery and could return this weekend to a fantastic matchup against the Cardinals, although they did just get shutdown cornerback […]

Patrick Mahomes Not Being Ruled Out For Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will practice on Wednesday, but backup Matt Moore will take the "majority" of the team repetitions. Reid isn't ruling out Mahomes for Week 8 against the Packers just yet. Mahomes is expected to miss three to five weeks after dislocating his kneecap […]

Adrian Peterson, Steven Sims Questionable Against Vikings

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. (toe) were both limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Vikings. Peterson is dealing with a high ankle sprain, so it seems unlikely he'll be able to play on Thursday despite the fact that he insists […]

Chris Thompson, Vernon Davis Ruled Out For Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) have both been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. Davis was limited in practice all week, but Thompson didn't practice at all and isn't a lock to return in Week 9. Davis appears to be making progress, but fantasy […]

Matt Ryan Injured Against Rams

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) limped off the field in the fourth quarter in Week 7 against the Rams and has been ruled out. This one adds injury to insult for a Falcons offense that has been atrocious on Sunday against the Rams. Backup running back Ito Smith was carted off the field with […]

Ezekiel Ansah, Duane Brown Inactive For Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (ankle) and left tackle Duane Brown (biceps) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Ravens. Ansah just hasn't been able to stay healthy for an entire season in his career. His absence is good news for Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Mark Ingram. Brown remains out […]

Marquise Brown Inactive Against Seattle

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Seahawks. It's Brown's second straight missed game, and he should be considered questionable for Week 8 as well. In his absence last week, none of Willie Snead, rookie Miles Boykin and Seth Roberts really stood out in the passing […]

Devonta Freeman Ejected Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was ejected from the Week 7 game against the Rams in the third quarter for throwing a punch during a scuffle. With Ito Smith also out with a head injury, it'll be Brian Hill and Kenjon Barner for the Falcons in the backfield the rest of the way. Hill […]

Matt Breida Injured Against Redskins

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (head) suffered a head injury in Week 7 against the Redskins and is being evaluated for a concussion. The whole 49ers offense is underperforming on Sunday against a bad Washington defense. Breida had eight carries for 35 yards before his injury, and he caught his only target in […]

Michael Badgley Remains Out

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Titans. Badgley has returned to practice but isn't yet ready to make his season debut. The Chargers will continue to roll with rookie Chase McLaughlin as their kicker, but he's been predictably inconsistent and should be avoided for fantasy […]

Kerryon Johnson, Darius Slay Questionable To Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (undisclosed) were all injured in Week 7 against the Vikings and are questionable to return. Johnson left in the second quarter and was later seen on the sidelines with a brace on his right knee, so his day is […]

Ito Smith Carted Off The Field

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith was carted off the field in Week 7 against the Rams after being run over and slammed to the turf while trying to block a pass-rusher. It's unclear exactly what Smith's injury is, but he did hit his head hard on the turf when he landed. Consider him questionable […]
