Mitch Trubisky, Roquan Smith In Question For Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) and linebacker Roquan Smith (personal) are in question for the Week 5 trip to London to face the Raiders. Smith was a late scratch in Week 4 due to a personal issue, and the team hasn't decided if he'll travel to London. Trubisky hurt his non-throwing shoulder six plays […]

A.J. Green Not Close To A Return

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) will not play on Monday night against the Steelers and is not expected to play at least the next two weeks against the Cardinals and Ravens, according to sources. That means that the earliest we'd see Green is in Week 7 against the Vikings. The veteran receiver should […]

Golden Tate Back From Four-Game Suspension

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is back from his four-game suspension on Monday for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Tate remained in shape by training in California with Chargers running back Melvin Gordon while being away from the team to begin the season. It's a big addition to New York's offense, […]

Saquon Barkley Already Out Of Walking Boot

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already out of his walking boot. Barkley said this weekend that he thinks he can be back sooner than his four- to eight-week timetable for a high ankle sprain, and this news seems to confirm that sentiment. However, the Giants will be extremely cautious with their […]

Josh Allen Suffers Head Injury Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) was being evaluated for a head injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 4 game against the Patriots. Allen was having a rough day before his injury, going 13-for-28 for 153 yards and three interceptions before his injury, but his saving grace for fantasy owners was that he […]

Jarvis Landry Ruled Out With Concussion

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (concussion) was ruled out of the game in Week 4 against the Ravens after suffering a concussion. The good news for his fantasy owners is that he had eight catches for 167 yards before exiting the game. He'll now be questionable for Week 5 against the 49ers on Monday […]

T.J. Hockenson Taken Off On Cart

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) came down hard on his shoulder and head in Week 4 against the Chiefs after trying to leap a defender. He was apparently unconscious and was being evaluated for a concussion before being carted off the field. Hockenson had three catches for 27 yards and a touchdown […]

Dontrelle Inman Questionable To Return

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (quadriceps) was injured in Week 4 against the Dolphins and is questionable to return. Linebacker Denzel Perryman (concussion) is also questionable to return. Inman surprisingly was leading the Chargers in receiving before his injury, hauling in five of his seven targets for 76 yards against a bad Miami […]

Broncos Defense Without Kareem Jackson Sunday

Denver Broncos cornerback Kareem Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Week 4 against the Jaguars. With cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) also out, Jacksonville's receivers could be looking at a nice day. However, shutdown cornerback Chris Harris Jr. will likely be tasked with shutting down either D.J. Chark or Dede Westbrook. Chark has the most upside in […]

Jalen Ramsey Out For Jaguars Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back, illness) is inactive for Week 4 against the Broncos. Ramsey was also away from the team this week for the birth of his daughter, and it's no secret that he's requested a trade and wants out of Jacksonville. His absence makes Broncos receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Courtland Sutton more […]

Trey Burton, Eddy Pineiro Active For Week 4

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) and kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) are both active in Week 4 against the Vikings. Burton has been injured seemingly all year so far and has had very little production in Chicago's mediocre offense up until this point. Consider him a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 for this tough matchup with […]

Roquan Smith, Akiem Hicks, Mike Davis Inactive

Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith, defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (knee) and Mike Davis (personal) are all inactive for Week 4 against the Vikings. It's unclear why Smith is unavailable for this game, as he wasn't listed on the team's final injury report. Either way, with both he and Hicks out on Sunday, it's bad news […]

Rashaad Penny Inactive In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is inactive for the second straight week in Week 4 against the Cardinals. Despite fumbling again in Week 3, Chris Carson will remain the team's lead back and should have a substantial workload in a positive matchup against the Arizona defense. With Carson likely seeing a healthy workload, […]

Chris Godwin Officially Active

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) is officially active in Week 4 against the Rams. Godwin will be less than 100 percent and is facing a very tough matchup against a Rams Defense that has yet to allow a touchdown to a receiver this year. Still, the Bucs figure to be playing from […]

Case Keenum Benched Against Giants

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum has been benched in the first half in Week 4 against the Giants after going 6-for-11 for 37 yards and one interception. First-rounder Dwayne Haskins has entered the game and will presumably finish the game with Washington down 14-0. Haskins offers more long-term upside for sure, but he might not […]

Kenny Stills Injured Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (hamstring) left the game in Week 4 against the Panthers in the second quarter and is questionable to return. Stills caught both of his targets for 24 yards before leaving the game. If he isn't able to make it back in the second half, Keke Coutee and Deandre Carter […]

Tyreek Hill Could Be Two Weeks Away

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (collarbone) is not expected to be active in Week 5 and will undergo imaging tests on his shoulder this week to determine how much longer he'll be out, according to sources. The Chiefs won't rush him back, but Hill could be around two weeks from returning. Hill should […]

Cowboys, Dak Prescott Not Close To Deal

The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott are not close to a contract extension at this time, according to sources. A deal is expected to get done eventually, but a deal isn't happening anytime soon despite owner Jerry Jones saying an extension was "imminent" recently. With Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes likely to become the highest […]

Rashard Higgins, Denzel Ward Inactive

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are inactive for Week 4 against the Ravens. With Higgins out, Damion Ratley will be the third wideout behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. With quarterback Baker Mayfield struggling so far this year, Ratley isn't really an option, […]

Albert Wilson Inactive Against Chargers

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) is inactive for the third straight game in Week 4 against the Chargers. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since. Devante Parker, Preston Williams and Jakeem Grant should remain in three-receiver sets at home against the Bolts. Miami should be forced to throw […]

J.J. Nelson Ruled Out For Week 4

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson (ankle) is inactive for Week 4 against the Colts. With Nelson out, the Raiders will rely on Tyrell Williams and rookie Hunter Renfrow in the passing game. Tight end Darren Waller could easily lead the team in targets in Indy, and he's a high-end TE1. Rookie Keelan Doss could […]

Rex Burkhead Active Against Bills

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is active for Week 4 against the Bills. Burkhead has been the team's most productive running back through three weeks, although part of that has to do with James White missing the game last weekend for personal reasons. Still, Burkhead has RB3/flex appeal in PPR leagues despite […]

Matthew Stafford Active, Danny Amendola Out

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (hip) is active for Week 4 against the Chiefs, while wide receiver Danny Amendola (chest) and cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) are both inactive. In a game where the Lions are expected to pass much more often than usual, Stafford has some low-end QB1 appeal on Sunday at home against Kansas […]

Devin Singletary Missing Second Straight Game

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is inactive for Week 4 against the Patriots. It's Singletary's second straight missed game, although he seemed to be making progress in practice this week. Frank Gore will continue to handle most of the work in the backfield with the rookie out, but he hasn't been very efficient […]

Mark Andrews Active Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) is active for Week 4 against the Browns. Andrews has been held out of practice each week with his foot injury, but he's played through it and been excellent for two out of the first three weeks of the season. He's been one of the most productive tight […]

T.Y. Hilton, Darius Leonard Inactive In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) and linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) are both inactive in Week 4 against the Raiders. Safety Malik Hooker (knee) is also inactive, which makes the Colts Defense/special teams much less attractive in fantasy despite the good matchup against Oakland. They are a low-end starting option without Leonard and Hooker […]

Terry McLaurin To Be Inactive

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) will be inactive for Week 4 against the Giants, according to a source. It's a big hit to Washington's offense, as the rookie has impressed with 16 catches for 257 yards and three touchdowns in three games so far. With McLaurin out, Paul Richardson, Trey Quinn and […]

Saints Defense Expected To Have Sheldon Rankins

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (Achilles) is expected to make his season debut on Sunday night against the Cowboys, barring a setback. Rankins was a force inside for the Saints in 2018, registering 41 total tackles, eight sacks and one forced fumble in a full season. His return will be a big boost […]

Sam Darnold Not A Lock For Week 5

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) still has hurdles to clear to play in Week 5 against the Eagles. He will undergo more tests on his spleen on Monday. If it's not enlarged, he can begin practicing and working out. Darnold's cardio has been limited to walking and a stationary bike, so he's not […]

Saquon Barkley Expects To Beat Timetable

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already telling people that he can beat his four- to eight-week timetable in his recovery from a high ankle sprain. However, the team's training staff will make sure he's being cautious in his rehab. Take it with a grain of salt. The No. 1 overall pick […]
