Surgery A Last Resort For Jarvis Landry

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) said that he'd be out six to eight months if he were to undergo hip surgery. With a surgery likely wiping out his entire offseason, a procedure will be a last resort. Landry had his first 1,000-yard season with the Browns in 2019 and a career-high 1,174 yards […]

Will Fuller On Track For Wild-Card Weekend

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) is "progressing and headed in the right direction" to play in the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday. We'll have a better idea of Fuller's status when we see how much he does in practice this week. Houston's offense just isn't […]

Alex Smith Plans To Return In 2020

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg), who missed all of the 2019 season while recovering from at least 17 surgeries on his broken right leg, said "without a doubt" that he plans to return to football. Smith's career has been in doubt since he suffered the gruesome injury in 2018, but he's adamant that he […]

Dalvin Cook Says He's Ready For Playoffs

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder), who has sat out the last two weeks, said he is ready to play in the wild-card game against the Saints this Sunday. “It’s a long season. You go through a lot, your body takes a lot,” Cook said. “I got some rest, and I’m ready to go.” […]

Eric Weddle Could Hang 'Em Up

Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle is uncertain if he will continue his playing career into the 2020 season. He hasn't made an official decision, but he expects the Rams to move forward with younger safeties John Johnson and rookie Taylor Rapp. Weddle said he will not return in a backup role. The 34-year-old also […]

Chandler Jones May Need Surgery

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that linebacker Chandler Jones (thumb) may need offseason surgery. Jones was a beast on defense in 2019 with 53 total tackles (41 solo), a career-high 19 sacks, eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 16 games for the Cardinals. He's played full seasons in all four years […]

Robby Anderson Won't Give Jets Hometown Discount

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson, who will hit the open market this offseason, won't be giving the Jets a hometown discount. “You got to talk to my agent,” Anderson said after Gang Green's 13-6 win over the Bills backups on Sunday. “I don’t think that makes sense.” The Jets shopped Anderson at the […]

Giants Fire Pat Shurmur On Black Monday

The New York Giants fired head coach Pat Shurmur on Monday after two seasons with the team, but they will retain general manager Dave Gettleman. Baylor head coach Matt Rhule is a focus of the team's coaching search, according to sources. He was the team's assistant offensive line coach in 2012. They've also requested permission […]

Greg Olsen Hints At Retirement

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen hinted at retirement after the Week 17 blowout loss to the Saints. "Sometimes the writing’s on the wall," Olsen said. The veteran tight end caught just two passes for 12 yards to close out the year. He managed to stay healthy after an injury riddled 2018 season, but he […]

Jaron Brown Injured Sunday Night

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee) suffered a knee injury on the first series of the Week 17 Sunday night game against the 49ers and was immediately ruled out for the rest of the contest. It left the Seahawks with just Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, David Moore and John Ursua. Malik Turner (concussion) was […]

Ron Rivera Expected To Be Next Redskins Head Coach

The Washington Redskins are expected to hire former Panthers head coach Ron Rivera as their next head coach, and he will interview with the team on Monday. Rivera was fired by Carolina this year after a disappointing season. In his nine years as the Panthers head man, Rivera went 76-63-1, including going 3-4 in the […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Questionable To Return In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (rib) was injured in Week 17 against the Redskins and is questionable to return. It's bad news for a Cowboys Defense in a must-win game against Washington, but the Cowboys may not even need him in the second half to beat the 'Skins, as they are up 20-10 at […]

Tyron Smith Inactive Against Redskins

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (back) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Redskins. This must-win game for the Cowboys is still very winnable against a poor Redskins team missing their entire starting secondary, but Smith's absence is a big loss for this offensive line and for quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott had a […]

Kyler Murray Active, Charles Clay Out For Week 17

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is active for Week 17 against the Rams, while tight end Charles Clay (calf) is inactive. Murray was a game-time decision, but he'll suit up for the final game of his rookie season. The first overall pick has been up and down in his first season, but overall […]

Dede Westbrook, Gardner Minshew Active In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and quarterback Gardner Minshew (shoulder) are both active for Week 17 against the Colts. Running back Leonard Fournette (neck) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (wrist) have been officially ruled out. Westbrook's fantasy upside is limited with both D.J. Chark and Chris Conley commanding targets in this run-first offense, […]

Mark Andrews Inactive, Marquise Brown Active

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is inactive for Week 17 against the Steelers, while rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) is active. Running back Mark Ingram, quarterback Lamar Jackson, free safety Earl Thomas, defensive end Brandon Williams and offensive guard Marshal Yanda join the inactives list as the Ravens rest up for the […]

Kenny Stills, Bradley Roby Out In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (knee), cornerback Bradley Roby (hamstring) and left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) are inactive for Week 17 against the Titans. If this were a must-win game, they'd most likely all be active. But Houston has decided to rest them with a playoff game upcoming next weekend. The other starters that […]

Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins Active Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (back) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) are both active for Week 17 against the Titans. Both players were in danger of being rested ahead of wild-card weekend, but they will be active for the start of this game. That doesn't mean they won't be moved to the bench at […]

Kenny Golladay Suffers Head Injury

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Week 17 against the Packers. Before leaving, Golladay had three grabs for 72 yards. With nothing to play for in the regular season finale, we'd be surprised if Golladay returns for this game, which would be really bad news for those […]

Anthony Miller, Cordarrelle Patterson Injured Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receivers Anthony Miller (shoulder) and Cordarrelle Patterson (concussion) were both injured in Week 17 against the Vikings. Miller is questionable to return, while Patterson has been ruled out. In this meaningless game, we wouldn't expect Miller to return to the regular season finale. Miller caught his only target for five yards before […]

Freddie Kitchens On His Way Out Of Cleveland?

The Cleveland Browns have been doing due diligence and making calls on potential new head coaches for 2020, which is a bad sign for current head coach Freddie Kitchens. The Browns have flopped in 2019 in Kitchens' first year as the top dog in Cleveland. They are 6-9 and in third place in the AFC […]

Jason Garrett Likely To Be Dismissed

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to move on from long-time head coach Jason Garrett in the event they are eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17. If Garrett is fired, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule and former Panthers head coach Ron Rivera are expected to be candidates in Dallas. Garrett has […]

Kyler Murray Expected To Play Sunday

The Arizona Cardinals are planning for rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring), who is a game-time decision for Week 17 against the Rams, to play on Sunday, according to sources. The only way that Murray will be ruled out is if his hamstring bothers him during pregame warmups. It's good news for anyone that was counting […]

Tyron Smith Not Expected To Play Against Redskins

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (back), who missed three days of practice with a back injury this week, is not expected to play in Week 17's must-win game against the Redskins, according to sources. Smith will test his back in pre-game warmups. Smith's absence wouldn't be a death sentence against Washington, but it'd certainly […]

Zach Ertz Dealing With Cracked Rib, Lacerated Kidney

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (kidney, rib), who is out for Week 17 against the Giants, is dealing with a cracked rib and a lacerated kidney, according to sources. Ertz was in the hospital after Week 16, but he's not being ruled out for a potential wild-card game next week if the Eagles beat […]

Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Not Expected To Play

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness), who are both questionable for Week 17 against the Steelers, are not expected to play, according to sources. The Ravens have no reason to risk further injury to their top two pass-catchers with home-field advantage already locked up for the AFC […]

Matt Prater Active Against Packers

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater (illness) is active for Week 17 against the Packers. With Detroit's offense playing out the string in a lost season and struggling to put up points with third-string quarterback David Blough at the helm, Prater must be avoided in all fantasy formats for the Week 17 regular season finale. He's […]

Bills Resting John Brown, Cole Beasley, Devin Singletary, Others

Buffalo Bills wide receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley, rookie running back Devin Singletary, rookie tight end Dawson Knox, defensive end Shaq Lawson (hamstring) and cornerback Tre'Davious White are all inactive for Week 17 against the Jets. The Bills are locked into a wild-card game next weekend, so they'll rest most of their starters in […]

Robby Anderson Active, Demaryius Thomas Out Again

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) is active for Week 17 against the Bills, while wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will be sidelined again. Anderson will suit up for what very well could be his last contest with Gang Green. The 26-year-old has mostly been a disappointment as a deep threat for […]

Alexander Mattison Inactive, Kirk Cousins Active

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is inactive for Week 17 against the Bears. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will be active for the start of the game. With both Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Mattison out, it should be Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah sharing the backfield duties against Chicago in this meaningless game. Abdullah […]
