Adrian Peterson A Healthy Scratch In Week 1

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Eagles. The Redskins are instead going with running back Wendell Smallwood, who also contributes on special teams. Peterson won't always be a healthy inactive in 2019, but it's not a good sign for the team's leading rusher a year ago. […]

LeSean McCoy To See 15-20 Snaps

The plan is for Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy to see around 15 to 20 snaps in his team debut against the Jaguars in Week 1 on Sunday. Shady should operate as the No. 2 behind Damien Williams this year, but it looks like he'll be eased into the game plan in the […]

Keke Coutee Questionable For Monday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) was limited in all three practices this week and is questionable for Week 1 on Monday night against the Saints. Coutee has progressed from his high ankle sprain, but he's much too risky of a fantasy option to rely on in Week 1 as a WR4, especially since […]

Michael Badgley Downgraded To Doubtful

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday. Badgley injured himself in practice this week and is likely to sit out of the season opener. It's a tough break for a kicker that really established himself on a team that had been consistently […]

Jordan Reed Out Against Eagles

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) did not make the trip to Philadelphia and is out for Week 1 against the Eagles. Reed just couldn't get cleared from the concussion protocol in time for the season opener. He remains a much-too-risky TE2 that more often than not finds himself on the sidelines. Vernon Davis […]

Week 1 Busts - Overvalued Players To Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's finally here. That moment all of you fantasy football fanatics have been waiting for. Week 1 of the 2019 regular season. No longer will we have to sit through meaningless preseason games and training camp babble. You can finally see if your prized draft-pick selections will pay off. Throw your special jersey on, kick […]

Cowboys Release Alfred Morris

The Dallas Cowboys released veteran running back Alfred Morris on Saturday, according to a source. The move was made in order to make room on the roster for Ezekiel Elliott, who ended his long contract holdout by signing an extension on Wednesday. Rookie Tony Pollard will be Zeke's direct backup in 2019, but Pollard won't […]

Devin White Questionable For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (illness) has been added to the Week 1 injury report and is questionable to play on Sunday against the 49ers. White is expected to have an immediate presence in the middle of Tampa's defense and has been a popular name thrown around as a Defensive Rookie of the […]

Marqise Lee Not On Final Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) was taken off the final injury report for Week 1 against the Chiefs. Lee practiced in full all week and will be out there for the season opener in a game where the Jags could be forced to pass often to play catch-up with the explosive Chiefs. While […]

Eli Manning Will Start As Long As Team Is In Playoff Race

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is expected to remain the team's starter this year "as long as we're in the playoff race," according to team officials. Head coach Pat Shurmur still believes in Manning, so it looks like the Giants will give him a long leash despite the fact that rookie Daniel Jones exceeded […]

Redskins Not Expecting Jordan Reed To Play

The Washington Redskins are not expecting tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) to play in the season opener against the Eagles on Sunday, according to sources. Tight end J.P. Holtz has been promoted from the practice squad as a result. Reed's injury woes continue. The oft-injured tight end has TE1 upside when he's on the field, […]

Raiders Officially Release Antonio Brown

The Oakland Raiders released wide receiver Antonio Brown on Saturday. Brown exploded on general manager Mike Mayock on Thursday after being fined for missing practices and then posting to social media. It wasn't the first time that he created drama within the organization this summer, either. Given all of AB's off-field baggage in the last […]

Carson Wentz Becoming More Comfortable In Pocket

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz hasn't been using his legs as much this summer, which shows a more patient approach from a pocket perspective. Wentz previously ranked 26th out of 33 quarterbacks in average time spent in the pocket per pass (2.77 seconds), according to ESPN Stats and Information. He's been contacted 243 times since […]

Raiders May Put Antonio Brown On Reserve/Left Squad List

In light of the situation surrounding Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown and his recent request for a release, the team might eventually be able to put him on the reserve/left squad list if he refuses to return. If that were to happen, Brown would be shut down in 2019 and wouldn't be able to […]

Julio Jones To Sign Three-Year Extension

The Atlanta Falcons and wide receiver Julio Jones are finalizing a three-year, $66 million contract extension on Saturday, league sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport. The $22 million per season would make Jones the highest-paid receiver in the game. The 30-year-old is an elite wideout that is coming off a season in […]

Ziggy Ansah Now Questionable For Seahawks Defense

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) is now questionable to play in Week 1 against the Bengals after not being listed on the final injury report earlier on Friday. Ansah should be able to play in the season opener on Sunday, but it'd be a surprise if he's in on […]

Paul Richardson Taken Off Week 1 Injury Report

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) was taken off the final injury report for Week 1 against the Eagles. Richardson practiced in full all week and will be good to go for the regular season opener. Washington has perhaps the worst receiving corps in the NFL with Richardson, Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin in […]

Jerick McKinnon Undergoes Another Surgery

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) underwent a second surgery on his right knee on Tuesday of this week. McKinnon will miss his second straight full season after signing with the Niners before last season. It's unlikely he'll stick around, but if he does in 2020 the 49ers will seek a drastic reduction […]

David Moore Out Next Two Weeks

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (arm) will not play in Week 1 against the Bengals and will also miss Week 2. Head coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Moore will have a decent chance to return in Week 3 or after, though. Tyler Lockett should be in all fantasy lineups for the season opener […]

Robby Anderson Questionable Against Bills

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Bills. Anderson has been practicing this week and is expected to be ready to go for the season opener. We'd expect him to play, but he does have a tough matchup with Buffalo cornerback Tre'Davious White and will […]

Nick Bosa Questionable, Jimmie Ward Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) returned to practice this week but is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. Safety Jimmie Ward (finger) suffered a broken finger in practice on Wednesday and will not dress for the season opener. It's unknown how long he'll be out. Bosa should be […]

Le'Veon Bell Won't Be Held Back In Opener

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell told head coach Adam Gase "don't hold back" with his workload in Week 1 against the Bills. Bell is expected to get 15 to 20 touches in his season debut with Gang Green, so fantasy owners shouldn't need to be too worried about the Jets easing him in […]

Trent Taylor, Jalen Hurd Out For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (foot) and Jalen Hurd (back) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. Taylor and Hurd are both week-to-week for now and can be left to the waiver wire in most redraft leagues. In a good matchup against the Bucs, Dante Pettis, the team's No. 1 […]

D.K. Metcalf, Ziggy Ansah Not On Final Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) and defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin) are not on the final injury report for Week 1 against the Bengals. Metcalf will indeed make his season debut in the opener after having a knee cleanup. The impressive youngster has big-play potential, but he's in a run-first offense and […]

Michael Badgley Questionable For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) injured himself in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday. Badgley turned into a fantasy relevant kicker last year for a team had struggled for years to figure out their kicking situation. It's a tough start for the Bolts special teams, […]

Cordy Glenn Won't Play Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday against the Seahawks. Andre Smith will start at left tackle and protect quarterback Andy Dalton's blind side. It's a downgrade for an already shaky offensive line against a Seattle defense that recently upgraded their pass rush by trading for linebacker Jadeveon Clowney. […]

Stefon Diggs Questionable Against Falcons

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Falcons. However, Diggs was able to run routes in practice on Thursday and Friday, so there's a good chance he plays. We'll know Diggs' status Sunday morning. We'd be surprised if he sat out, so keep him in your […]

Andre Roberts Out, Tyler Kroft Doubtful

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Roberts (quadriceps) will not play in Week 1 against the Jets after injuring himself in practice on Monday. Roberts, a 2018 Pro Bowl returner, isn't fantasy relevant. Robert Foster, Cole Beasley, Devin Singletary, Isaiah McKenzie and Micah Hyde are options to replace Roberts on returns this Sunday. Tight end Tyler […]

Albert Wilson Questionable Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Ravens. Wilson was limited in practice all week, so we'd think he's on the right track to suit up in the regular season opener. The good news is that Wilson's fantasy owners will know early Sunday morning if he's […]

Antonio Brown Will Play Monday Night

Updating an ongoing story, Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will play on Monday night against the Broncos. Brown wasn't happy with being fined for missing practices and had an altercation with general manager Mike Mayock on Thursday, prompting the team to say they would be suspending the outspoken […]
