Amari Cooper Not In A Rush To Sign Extension

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is being extra patient in contract-extension talks and is the only Dallas player less likely to re-sign this season, according to league sources. With Saints wideout Michael Thomas landing a deal that pays him $20 million a year and Falcons receiver Julio Jones earning $22 million per year, Cooper […]

Damien Harris, Jakobi Meyers Inactive

New England Patriots rookie running back Damien Harris and rookie wide receiver Jakobi Meyers are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Dolphins. Both players have exciting long-term appeal for those in dynasty leagues, but the Patriots are just too stacked at running back and receiver now for either of them to make an […]

Tyler Kroft Inactive Against Giants

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) is inactive in Week 2 against the Giants for the second straight week. Kroft is improving, though, and should be able to make his season debut in Week 3. However, Kroft will be a bottom-barrel TE2 whenever he does suit up. Rookies Tommy Sweeney and Dawson Knox will […]

Seahawks Defense Without Ziggy Ansah Again

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) is inactive in Week 2 against the Steelers. Ansah will have to wait another week to make his debut with the team. The Seahawks are being very cautious with the injury-prone pass-rusher, but he should be back soon. It's good news for Ben Roethlisberger and company as they […]

Mark Ingram, Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Playing Sunday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), tight end Mark Andrews (foot) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) are all active in Week 2 against the Cardinals, as expected. All three players had huge weeks in the season opener and could all shine again against a weak Cardinals Defense at home. Ingram has clear […]

Andy Isabella A Healthy Scratch Against Ravens

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella is a healthy inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens. The 22-year-old didn't have a single target in Week 1 and is well behind fellow rookie teammate Keesean Johnson on the depth chart. He also has Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Michael Crabtree and Damiere Byrd ahead of him, […]

Mike Williams Active For Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Lions. It was reported early Sunday that Williams would likely be just a red-zone threat for the Bolts on Sunday if he played. That means that the Chargers will predictably lean on running back Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen with […]

Joe Mixon Playing Against 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is active for Week 2 against the 49ers. Mixon does have a good matchup against a Niners team that gave up healthy ground yardage against Tampa in the season opener, but Mixon will have a lot of volatility and could have his snaps limited while playing through his […]

Nick Bosa Active For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) is active in Week 2 against the Bengals. Bosa had his snaps limited in his NFL debut last week against the Buccaneers, but when he was on the field he was productive, so his presence on Sunday won't be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton in […]

Matthew Stafford Without Left Tackle Against Chargers

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (back) has been ruled out in Week 2 against the Chargers. It's a downgrade for quarterback Matthew Stafford on Sunday, and he could be facing a lot of pressure from pass-rushers Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa. Stafford looked good in Week 1 throwing the football, but that was also […]

Cody Latimer Active Against Bills

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is active in Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, Latimer will likely start opposite Bennie Fowler with Russell Shepard in the slot in three-receiver sets. The Giants will run their offense through running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram on Sunday […]

Dak Prescott's Extension Talks Have Stalled

The Dallas Cowboys' contract-extension talks with quarterback Dak Prescott have reached an impasse after owner Jerry Jones called a deal imminent just last week. Not much is going on and nothing is expected to happen for the foreseeable future, according to sources. Prescott could be holding out for a shorter-term deal that a lot of […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Trade Could Come Soon

The Miami Dolphins could wind up trading defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick as early as next week, and the Dolphins are reportedly looking for a first-round pick in return. Miami isn't actively shopping him, but they are certainly open to discussing a trade for the former first-round selection. The interest around the league for Fitzpatrick is […]

Sam Darnold Could Be Out 3-7 Weeks

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is out for Monday night against the Browns with mononucleosis and could miss anywhere from three to seven weeks, according to sources. The illness affected Darnold in the season-opening loss to the Bills, and he's being quarantined from the rest of the team. At the very least, you […]

Demaryius Thomas Questionable Against Browns

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to play on Monday night against the Browns in Week 2. Thomas hasn't practiced all week and is probably on the wrong side of questionable for this one. Quincy Enunwa's season-ending injury is good news for Thomas having a role with Gang Green this year, […]

Dontrell Hilliard Ruled Out

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Jets. With Hilliard out, D'Ernest Johnson will be the direct backup to Nick Chubb on Monday, but Johnson won't have any standalone fantasy value. Chubb should see plenty of touches and is a definite […]

Damarious Randall Ruled Out For Browns Defense

Cleveland Browns free safety Damarious Randall (concussion) came in with concussion symptoms on Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Jets. Randall's absence is a downgrade to the team's secondary, but it might not matter with the Browns taking on Jets backup Trevor Siemian in Week 2. Despite Randall's absence, the […]

James White Making Trip To Miami

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots running back James White is making the trip to Miami and is expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. There was speculation earlier that White would be missing the game with his wife expecting a child. New England's matchup with the Dolphins Defense this Sunday really […]

J.J. Nelson Ruled Out For Raiders

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Chiefs at home. Nelson didn't put up any numbers in the regular season opener against the Broncos and is currently behind Tyrell Williams, Ryan Grant, Dwayne Harris and rookie Hunter Renfrow on the receiving […]

Marqise Lee, A.J. Bouye Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (hip) have both been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Texans. Neither player will travel with the team to Houston. Lee is fourth on the receiver depth chart right now behind Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley, so he's not even […]

Marcus Cannon Not Expected To Play

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins, according to a source. He's listed as questionable on the injury report. Korey Cunningham is the top backup, but he was inactive in the season opener as he gets familiar with the team's system. Losing Cannon would […]

Antonio Brown Expected To Play Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown is making the trip to Miami and is expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Head coach Bill Belichick hinted that Brown hasn't really mastered the playbook in his limited time with the team since signing last week, so it remains to be seen how many […]

Jonathan Abram Facing 5-6 Month Recovery

Oakland Raiders rookie safety Jonathan Abram (shoulder) is facing a five- to six-month recovery after undergoing surgery on his shoulder on Thursday. However, the surgery revealed that his labrum wasn't fully torn, just his rotator cuff. Abram is a hard-hitting safety that can really make a difference for Oakland's secondary in the long term, but […]

Tyler Kroft Questionable Against Giants

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Giants, but he looks closer to returning and got through limited practices all week. Head coach Sean McDermott wouldn't rule Kroft out for the game. Even if Kroft suits up, he won't be worth a spot in any starting […]

Matt LaCosse Questionable For Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse (ankle) is questionable for Week 2 against the Dolphins. LaCosse sat out of Week 1 and there's not guarantee that he'll be making his season debut this Sunday. If he's out again, Ryan Izzo will serve as the team's primary tight end. However, none of New England's tight […]

Devin White Might Not Be Out Long

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (knee), who went down with a knee injury just six plays into Thursday's game against the Panthers, has a Grade 1 MCL sprain and is day-to-day, according to head coach Bruce Arians. White could miss a game or two, but he's also got the advantage of having extra […]

Bruce Arians Thinks O.J. Howard Can Play Better

When asked about Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard's production through two games, head coach Bruce Arians said "he can play a heck of a lot better than he's playing." We'd agree with that, as Howard only has four catches for 32 yards through the first two weeks of the season. He wasn't targeted […]

Ziggy Ansah Questionable For Seahawks Defense

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Steelers. It's the same listing that Ansah had for the season opener in which he didn't play. The Seahawks are being cautious with Ansah after coming off shoulder surgery and a strained groin. "He practiced all week long. He […]

David Moore Could Return Next Week

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) practiced well this week and could return in Week 3, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Moore could become a fixture in three-receiver sets with Tyler Lockett and rookie D.K. Metcalf when he's healthy, but he's realistically only an option for those in deep leagues in a run-first […]

Melvin Gordon Plans To Report This Year

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon doesn't think he'll be traded and will continue to hold out to "protect himself," but he will report in 2019, according to a source. "This is not a Le'Veon Bell situation," the source said. "He still wants to be a Charger. But he's got to protect himself." Gordon's […]
