Sam Darnold Improving

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) can start doing cardio but has yet to be medically cleared from his bout with mononucleosis. He will undergo further testing, and the quarterback said the next step is for his spleen enlargement to go down. Darnold will visit with doctors next […]

Taylor Gabriel Suffers Concussion Monday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) suffered a concussion in the third quarter on Monday night and was ruled out against the Redskins. Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (knee) also was hurt in the fourth quarter. Gabriel was still able to make fantasy owners plenty happy before his injury, though, catching six of seven targets […]

Ronald Darby Expected To Miss Time For Eagles Defense

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby (hamstring) is expected to miss some time after an MRI exam, according to a source. Darby is likely to sit out a few games after injuring himself in the Week 3 loss to the Lions. If he can't suit up Thursday against the Packers, Philly will be down to three […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Added To Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (heel) was added to the injury report and did not practice on Monday. The 22-year-old was a popular waiver wire pickup last week when both Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) went down with injuries, but he had only one catch on three targets for 10 yards […]

Eagles Hoping To Have Alshon Jeffery This Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) will be ready for Week 4 on Thursday against the Packers. Jeffery hurt his left calf in the first quarter in Week 2 and sat out the loss on Sunday to the Lions, but he was limited in practice on Monday. […]

Darius Slay Could Miss Week 4 For Lions Defense

Detroit Lions Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) could be forced to sit out of Week 4 against the Chiefs after injuring his hamstring on the second series of the third quarter in the Week 3 win over the Eagles. Slay, the team's No. 1 cornerback often tasked with covering the opponent's No. 1 receiver, […]

Falcons Defense Loses Keanu Neal For The Season

Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal's (Achilles) tests showed that he tore his Achilles in the Week 3 loss to the Colts, according to a source. He will miss the rest of the 2019 season. It's a tough blow for the 24-year-old, as he played in just one game in 2018 before suffering a season-ending injury. […]

Patriots Confident In Stephen Gostkowski

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said he's confident in kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who has missed four kicks in two games. "Honestly, I think Steve has hit the ball well," Belichick said. "I understand we’ve had a couple of missed kicks in games, I see that, but on a day-to-day basis, you don’t see […]

Julian Edelman Day-To-Day With Rib Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (rib) is being listed as day-to-day after suffering a rib injury in the Week 3 win over the Jets, according to a league source. He "hasn't been ruled out" for Week 4 against the Bills. Edelman's X-rays came back negative, and quarterback Tom Brady said his favorite target […]

Freddie Kitchens Won't Give Up Play-Calling Duties

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said he's not considering giving up offensive play-calling duties after the team's Sunday night loss to the Rams in Week 3. The Browns are 1-2 and are averaging 16.3 points per game after three weeks. "It's me. It's my fault. Todd does a great job. Todd does a great […]

Jalen Ramsey Out Will Illness

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey told the team on Sunday that he was sick and wouldn't practice on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Despite requesting a trade last week and many teams being interested in the former first-rounder, there's "no momentum" on a deal at this moment. Jacksonville is reluctant to ship Ramsey […]

Cam Newton Will Miss Week 4

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is already ruling out quarterback Cam Newton (foot) for Week 4 against the Texans. Backup Kyle Allen will make a second straight start versus Houston. "What Cam needs right now is time and rest for his foot," Rivera said in a statement. "We want him at 100 percent when […]

Cardinals Release Michael Crabtree

The Arizona Cardinals released wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Monday after he was with the club for just over a month. He was inactive for the season opener before playing 30 combined snaps in the last two games, totaling four catches on five targets for just 22 yards. The Cardinals are using four-receiver sets on […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Tre'Quan Smith Won't Play Against Seahawks

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Seahawks after missing practice all week. Even had Smith been able to play, he wouldn't have been a realistic option as a flex play with Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill expected to split work under center with Drew […]

Tavon Austin Ruled Out Against Dolphins

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Dolphins. Austin holds very little fantasy value to begin with as mostly a kick returner and gadget player for the Cowboys. With Michael Gallup (knee) out two to four weeks, Devin Smith will see the biggest boost in playing […]

Sterling Shepard Played Through Concussion In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) said he played through a concussion in Week 1 against the Cowboys because he wanted to try and help the team win. Shepard didn't start feeling normal until this week and is off the final injury report for Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Shepard will be the […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Saints

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Saints after suffering an injury in practice on Friday. Late-week additions to the injury report are never good, putting Penny in real danger of sitting out this Sunday. He was a risky RB3/flex in PPR leagues to begin with […]

David Njoku Lands On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns placed tight end David Njoku (wrist) on Injured Reserve on Friday and claimed safety Juston Burris off waivers from the Raiders in a corresponding move. Njoku had four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in two games before getting injured in the Monday night win over the Jets. We'd recommend keeping […]

Nick Bosa, Dee Ford Questionable For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) and defensive end Dee Ford (knee, quadriceps) are both questionable for Week 3 against the Steelers. Also questionable are safety Jaquiski Tartt (toe) and free safety Jimmie Ward (hand, finger). Bosa and Ford both should suit up in this one, but they could both have their […]

Jalen Hurd Ruled Out For Week 3

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Steelers. Hurd has a chance to return after the team's Week 4 bye, but it's not a guarantee. He has a greater chance of being involved in the offense when he returns with Trent Taylor (foot) now […]

Aaron Donald Questionable For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (back) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday night. Donald has practiced this week, so we'd expect him to suit up. However, he could be limited in an excellent opportunity against the Browns patchwork offensive line. In IDP leagues you'll want to have […]

Tyler Higbee Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) has been ruled out for Week 3 on Sunday night against the Browns. With Higbee out, Gerald Everett will take over the main pass-catching duties against Cleveland. The Browns have been somewhat vulnerable to tight ends so far in 2019, making Everett a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer this […]

Demaryius Thomas, C.J. Mosley Doubtful Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee), linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) are all doubtful for Week 3 against the Patriots. Thomas caught one pass on Monday night for negative yardage before his injury. He's week-to-week and is off the fantasy radar, especially with third-string quarterback Luke […]

Patriots Releasing Antonio Brown

The New England Patriots are releasing wide receiver Antonio Brown on Friday. The team said in a statement: "The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown. We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time." […]

Laremy Tunsil Expected To Play Against Chargers

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) is questionable for Week 3 against the Chargers, but he has practiced all week and is expected to play on Sunday. It's good news for Houston's offensive line and quarterback Deshaun Watson against a strong LA pass rush featuring Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Even with Tunsil in […]

Michael Badgley Questionable Against Texans

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Texans. Badgley practiced this week and looks to be on the verge of making his season debut. The Bolts need him, too, as Ty Long hasn't been good filling in the last two weeks. Badgley has the skills to […]

Chiefs Likely To Be Cautious With LeSean McCoy

The Kansas City Chiefs are likely to be cautious about overloading running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) in Week 3 against the Ravens with Damien Williams (knee) ruled out. Rookie Darwin Thompson could see significant playing time, along with an increased role for Darrel Williams. Shady might not be 100 percent healthy, but he'll be the […]

Marlon Mack, T.Y. Hilton Listed As Questionable

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) are both listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Falcons. Mack has been productive in two games and should be fine to suit up this weekend, but he could see Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines become more involved against Atlanta. He's […]

James Conner, Vance McDonald Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) and tight end Vance McDonald (back) practiced in full the last two days and were taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the 49ers. Conner is more of a low-end RB2 this weekend while at risk of losing touches to backup Jaylen Samuels. Remember, this […]
