Adam Humphries' Chemistry Lacking With Marcus Mariota

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries said his chemistry with quarterback Marcus Mariota is a work in progress.

Browns Want To Get Ball Out Of Baker Mayfield's Hand

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said that he needs to put quarterback Baker Mayfield in better position to succeed and get the ball out of his hand quicker because he's taking too many hits after two weeks. It hasn't helped that Cleveland's offensive line isn't giving Mayfield much time to throw, but Mayfield also […]

Yannick Ngakoue Could Return For Jaguars Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Tuesday after being limited on Monday. Jacksonville's best pass rusher should be able to return on Thursday against the Titans after being inactive in the Week 2 loss to the Texans. The Jaguars Defense/special teams is a low-end starting option for this […]

The Detroit Lions released running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday and claimed running back Paul Perkins off waivers from the Giants in a corresponding move.

The New England Patriots are placing left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. He'll miss at least eight weeks after getting injured in Week 2.

Buccaneers Not Worried About O.J. Howard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians didn't seem too worried about tight end O.J. Howard after he didn't see any targets in the passing game last Thursday. "The balls will come. We don't dictate who gets the ball, the defense does, so sometimes it will spread around for different people every week," Arians said. […]

DeSean Jackson Could Miss Next Two Games

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (groin) isn't expected to play in Week 3 against the Lions, and a quick turnaround on Thursday night against the Packers in Week 4 could make it tough as well. Jackson was injured early in Week 2 on Sunday night and never returned. You should prepare to be without […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) has decided to undergo surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday after having his injured hand examined by two specialists.

Antonio Brown Situation A Long Way From Being Resolved

The NFL met with New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown's accuser on Monday for 10 hours in their investigation into sexual-assault allegations, according to a source.

Jaguars Defense Expecting To Have Jalen Ramsey Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said that he expects cornerback Jalen Ramsey to play on Thursday night against the Titans. Ramsey's agent requested a trade on Monday night, and multiple teams are believed to have already made offers for the shutdown cornerback.

Mason Rudolph (QB, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in two-QB leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In a crushing blow for the Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger will undergo surgery on his right elbow and miss the rest of the season.

Marcus Mariota Will Practice In Full Tuesday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) will practice in full on Tuesday. On a short week going up a very respectable defense, Mariota is a last-gasp QB2 in two-QB leagues on Thursday night. Tennessee's offense remains a slow-paced, run-first unit and Mariota just is way too inconsistent with the […]

Demaryius Thomas Week-To-Week

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) is listed as week-to-week after suffering a new injury in his Jets debut on Monday night against the Browns. Thomas caught only one pass before his injury on Monday for negative yards. It sounds like he won't be active in Week 3 against the Patriots, and […]

Cowboys Defense Loses Xavier Woods For 4-6 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys free safety Xavier Woods (ankle) is expected to miss four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain, according to a source.

Cam Newton's Week 3 Status Up In The Air

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) Week 3 status against the Cardinals is up in the air after he aggravated a foot injury that he initially suffered in the preseason. Newton is rehabbing during practice on Tuesday. Cam hasn't looked good through two weeks, and perhaps his foot is the main reason why. He's run […]

Isaiah Wynn Week-To-Week

New England Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) is considered week-to-week with turf toe, according to a source. His injury is not season-ending, however. With right tackle Marcus Cannon also injured, New England's offensive line has become a question mark moving forward. It's an upgrade to the Jets defensive line in Week 3, but fantasy […]

LeSean McCoy Has Shot To Play In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy's (ankle) MRI exam showed no significant damage to his ankle and he has a shot to play in Week 3 against the Ravens, according to sources. Damien Williams was also injured in Week 2, so McCoy's fantasy value will depend on if Williams can play as well. As […]

A.J. Brown (WR, TEN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We'll start off right away with the disclaimer: The Titans have a slow-paced, run-first offense led by an inaccurate and injury-prone quarterback in Marcus Mariota.

D.J. Chark (WR, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The 22-year-old product from LSU didn't do much with Blake Bortles at quarterback in his rookie season, catching only 14 passes for 174 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games. Through two games in 2019, though, D.J. Chark is just three catches […]

JJ Arcega-Whiteside (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: JJ Arcega-Whiteside was a popular name during training camp and the preseason, impressing coaches with his work ethic and production. But when the regular season began he became a forgotten name behind Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor. Then Sunday night […]

Demaryius Thomas Injures Ankle Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (ankle) suffered an ankle injury on Monday night against the Browns and is out for the rest of the game.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (concussion) suffered a concussion in the first half on Monday night against the Jets and will not return. Njoku was targeted just once on the play that resulted in his injury in which he went up in the air to receive the ball and was upended. The tight end […]
