Jordan Reed Remains In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol. The perennially injured Reed missed Week 1 and doesn't look to be on track to returning anytime soon. The veteran Vernon Davis filled in for Reed in the season opener and finished with four receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown in the loss […]

Hunter Henry Has Fractured Knee

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) suffered a tibia plateau fracture to his left knee in the Week 1 overtime win over the Colts. He'll continue to be evaluated, but there is no current timetable for his return. Henry missed all of last season with an injury, too, so he's quickly developing the […]

Dontrell Hilliard Out Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) is not practicing on Thursday. Hilliard vultured a touchdown from Nick Chubb in the Week 1 loss to the Titans but was injured shortly thereafter. It's not looking promising for his status heading into Monday night's matchup with the Jets. If he's unable to play in Week 2, […]

David Moore Gets In Limited Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a good sign for Moore, but he's expected to miss Week 2 and possibly Week 3. In this run-first offense, Moore should be found on the waiver wire right now in most every league. Tyler Lockett (back) is also banged up […]

Michael Badgley Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the season opener against the Colts. Badgley is shaping up to be questionable for Week 2 against the Lions, so he'll once again be a very risky fantasy option. If he sits out his second straight game, Ty […]

Ted Ginn Out With Illness Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. We're guessing that Ginn will return to practice later this week and suit up in Week 2 on the road against the Rams. The 34-year-old veteran caught all seven of his targets for 101 yards in the thrilling Monday night win over […]

Jimmy Graham Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (finger) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The 32-year-old should be just fine for a divisional showdown at home in Week 2 against the Vikings. Graham caught three of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the opener last Thursday. He's no longer the […]

Tyler Lockett Does Not Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (back) was among those that didn't practice on Wednesday. Lockett is Seattle's No. 1 wideout, but he caught just one pass on only two targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. That's not the kind of volume his fantasy owners were hoping for as their WR2, […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Limited Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and running back James Conner (illness) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine, barring a setback, to play in Week 2 at home against the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster is a must-start WR1 every time he's active, while Conner is a low-end RB1 if he's […]

Cowboys Still Easing Ezekiel Elliott In?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott said he thinks he's "ready now for a normal workload" heading into Week 2 against the Redskins, but head coach Jason Garrett pumped the breaks on that a bit. Garrett said the team will be mindful of how little practice time Elliott had this summer because of his holdout. […]

Eric Weddle On Track For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects safety Eric Weddle (head) to be ready for Week 2 against the Saints. Weddle took a knee to the helmet from Christian McCaffrey in the season opener and missed the rest of the game. The Rams certainly need Weddle's help in the secondary with Drew Brees and […]

Jets Defense Dealing With Multiple Injuries

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) are both making good progress despite not practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Adam Gase. “It’s giving us hope with both those guys,” Gase said. “There’s a still a chance for those guys to play on Monday.” Safety Jamal Adams […]

Adrian Peterson To Start Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said on Wednesday that running back Adrian Peterson will get the start in Week 2 against the Cowboys with Derrius Guice (knee) expected to miss a few weeks. Peterson was a healthy inactive in Week 1, but Washington will ride the future Hall of Famer until Guice is healthy […]

Will Dissly Good To Go For Week 2

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Will Dissly (knee) is good to go for Week 2 against the Steelers after leaving the Week 1 game with a knee injury. Dissly caught one of his two targets for 12 yards before leaving the game last Sunday. In a run-first offense that rarely […]

Keke Coutee Returns To Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) is practicing on Wednesday after sitting out of Week 1 on Monday night against the Saints. It means that Coutee should be able to make his season debut this Sunday against the Jaguars, although you never know with Coutee. While he was trying to get healthy, Houston picked […]

Patrick Mahomes Practicing Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is practicing on Wednesday, and head coach Andy Reid said "he feels pretty good." Mahomes suffered an ankle sprain in Week 1 against the Jaguars but is expected to be fine for Week 2's matchup with the Raiders in Oakland. Mahomes was walking with a considerable limp after […]

Jalen Hurd, Trent Taylor Miss Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Jalen Hurd (back) and Trent Taylor (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Neither Hurd nor Taylor are expected to play in Week 2 on the road against the Bengals. Hurd is worth stashing in dynasty/keeper formats, but neither are attractive in redraft formats for the time being. With […]

Sterling Shepard In Good Spirits

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) is on the field going through protocol steps on Wednesday and looks to be in good spirits. Shepard might be limited in practice, at best, but it's a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Bills. Even if Shepard plays, though, he'll be more […]

Panthers Defense Won't Have Bruce Irvin Thursday

Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Bruce Irvin (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Buccaneers on Thursday. Irvin has yet to play so far in 2019. It's a slight downgrade for Carolina's pass rush against Tampa, but the Panthers Defense remains in play as a low-end option against Buccaneers turnover-prone quarterback […]

Trey Burton Day-To-Day

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) is still day-to-day, but the Bears are optimistic that he'll be able to make his season debut in Week 2 against the Broncos on the road. We probably won't know until later this week if Burton will play, and he could be a game-time decision. Burton would strictly […]

Greg Olsen Questionable Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. Olsen was able to get in a full practice on Wednesday and expects to play. The veteran has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons, but he'll be in play as a TE1 if he suits up against a […]

Antonio Brown To Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will practice on Wednesday. However, it's up in the air if Brown will make his debut with the team in Week 2 against the Dolphins, and Belichick said they're taking it "one day at a time." Brown's ex-trainer is filing a lawsuit […]

Albert Wilson Not Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday after aggravating his calf injury in Week 1 while playing just six snaps. It doesn't sound promising for his availability in Week 2 against the Patriots, but we'll have to wait and see. If Wilson misses this weekend, Devante Parker, Jakeem Grant, […]

Sean McDermott Says Frank Gore Is The Starter

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Frank Gore is the starter in front of rookie Devin Singletary and T.J. Yeldon. Gore did lead the backfield in Week 1 with 11 carries to Singletary's four, but the elder statesman had just 20 yards (1.8 yards per carry), while Singletary was much more […]

Ja'Wuan James To Miss Several Weeks

Denver Broncos right tackle Ja'Wuan James (knee) will miss several weeks with a significant knee sprain, according to a league source. The Broncos are happy with the way that Elijah Wilkinson filled in on Monday night against the Raiders, but it's a notable loss for the Broncos offensive line. With an elite defense in the […]

Sam Darnold Misses Practice With Strep Throat

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) was sent home from practice on Wednesday with strep throat, according to head coach Adam Gase. Gase thinks that Darnold will be fine for Monday night against the Browns. While Darnold should perform better than he did in Week 1 against a tough Bills Defense, he's still more […]

Ronald Jones II Praised By Bruce Arians

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II, who had just 13 yards on five attempts in nine games in a dreadful rookie season, looked good in Week 1 with 13 carries for 75 yards (5.77 yards per carry). Jones shined in the preseason while looking faster, more athletic and more fluid with his hands. […]

Antonio Brown Could Be Put On Exempt List

The NFL will explore the sexual-assault lawsuit against New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown, and the plaintiff in the lawsuit, Britney Taylor, has expressed a willingness to cooperate with the league. Depending on the information they find, the NFL could place Brown on the Commissioner-Exempt list while the investigation takes place. He could also […]

Jared Goff Struggling With Pressure, Deep Passes

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has a 29.8 passer rating when under pressure in his last four starts dating back to last year's Divisional playoff round, completing just 33.3 percent of his passes with no touchdowns and two interceptions, according to Next Gen Stats. Goff has performed better while running play action, but the […]

Raiders Defense Loses Jonathan Abram

Oakland Raiders first-round pick Jonathan Abram (shoulder) is expected to be placed on season-ending Injured Reserve after tearing his labrum and rotator cuff in Week 1 against the Broncos. It's a tough loss for a secondary that will also likely be without cornerback Gareon Conley for a while. Entering a Week 2 matchup with the […]
