Drew Brees Could Be Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that he might wait until Sunday morning to decide whether quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) will play against the Cardinals in Week 8. Brees has made a quick recovery and could return this weekend to a fantastic matchup against the Cardinals, although they did just get shutdown cornerback […]

Patrick Mahomes Not Being Ruled Out For Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will practice on Wednesday, but backup Matt Moore will take the "majority" of the team repetitions. Reid isn't ruling out Mahomes for Week 8 against the Packers just yet. Mahomes is expected to miss three to five weeks after dislocating his kneecap […]

Adrian Peterson, Steven Sims Questionable Against Vikings

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. (toe) were both limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Vikings. Peterson is dealing with a high ankle sprain, so it seems unlikely he'll be able to play on Thursday despite the fact that he insists […]

Chris Thompson, Vernon Davis Ruled Out For Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) have both been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. Davis was limited in practice all week, but Thompson didn't practice at all and isn't a lock to return in Week 9. Davis appears to be making progress, but fantasy […]

Matt Ryan Injured Against Rams

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) limped off the field in the fourth quarter in Week 7 against the Rams and has been ruled out. This one adds injury to insult for a Falcons offense that has been atrocious on Sunday against the Rams. Backup running back Ito Smith was carted off the field with […]

Ezekiel Ansah, Duane Brown Inactive For Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (ankle) and left tackle Duane Brown (biceps) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Ravens. Ansah just hasn't been able to stay healthy for an entire season in his career. His absence is good news for Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Mark Ingram. Brown remains out […]

Marquise Brown Inactive Against Seattle

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Seahawks. It's Brown's second straight missed game, and he should be considered questionable for Week 8 as well. In his absence last week, none of Willie Snead, rookie Miles Boykin and Seth Roberts really stood out in the passing […]

Devonta Freeman Ejected Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was ejected from the Week 7 game against the Rams in the third quarter for throwing a punch during a scuffle. With Ito Smith also out with a head injury, it'll be Brian Hill and Kenjon Barner for the Falcons in the backfield the rest of the way. Hill […]

Matt Breida Injured Against Redskins

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (head) suffered a head injury in Week 7 against the Redskins and is being evaluated for a concussion. The whole 49ers offense is underperforming on Sunday against a bad Washington defense. Breida had eight carries for 35 yards before his injury, and he caught his only target in […]

Michael Badgley Remains Out

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Titans. Badgley has returned to practice but isn't yet ready to make his season debut. The Chargers will continue to roll with rookie Chase McLaughlin as their kicker, but he's been predictably inconsistent and should be avoided for fantasy […]

Kerryon Johnson, Darius Slay Questionable To Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (undisclosed) were all injured in Week 7 against the Vikings and are questionable to return. Johnson left in the second quarter and was later seen on the sidelines with a brace on his right knee, so his day is […]

Ito Smith Carted Off The Field

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith was carted off the field in Week 7 against the Rams after being run over and slammed to the turf while trying to block a pass-rusher. It's unclear exactly what Smith's injury is, but he did hit his head hard on the turf when he landed. Consider him questionable […]

Marquise Goodwin Suffers Head Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (head) is being evaluated for a head injury in Week 7 against the Redskins. Goodwin missed his only target before leaving the game. If he can't pass through the protocol on the sidelines, Goodwin won't return to play the rest of the game. In an offense without much […]

Will Fuller Injured Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) suffered an injury in Week 7 against the Colts and is questionable to return. Fuller caught his only target for six yards before exiting, so his fantasy owners are really hoping that he can make it back in this game. If he can't, Houston will rely more on […]

Broncos Open To Trading Emmanuel Sanders

The Denver Broncos are likely open to listening to trade offers for wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders with the deadline approaching, according to sources. The Panthers, Patriots, Eagles, 49ers and others are expected to be in the receiver market up until the Oct. 29 deadline. Denver received a fourth-rounder from the Texans last year in exchange […]

Jalen Ramsey Says He Won't Hold Out Next Year

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who will make his debut with the team in Week 7 against the Falcons, promised the Rams that he won't hold out next season in the last year of his contract even if the two sides don't agree to a long-term deal this offseason, according to league sources. However, […]

David Johnson Active, Christian Kirk Out

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) is active for Week 7 against the Giants, while wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will miss his third straight game. Johnson was expected to play after getting in some practices this week. He should continue to be heavily involved in this improving offense in a great matchup against […]

Josh Norman Inactive For Redskins Defense

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman (hand, thigh) is inactive for Week 7 against the 49ers. You obviously shouldn't come close to trusting Washington's defense in fantasy this year, and having Norman out makes them an even weaker unit this weekend. Norman's absence is good news for San Francisco receiver Marquise Goodwin, but he'll still a […]

Todd Gurley Officially Active Against Falcons

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (thigh) is officially active for Week 7 against the Falcons after sitting out last week. He's back in the RB2 mix in a good matchup against the Falcons, especially since backup Malcolm Brown (ankle) is inactive. Gurley should have a decent workload in this one, but rookie Darrell […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison Both Active

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) are both active for Week 7 against the Raiders after testing themselves in pre-game workouts. It's a bit of surprise that both are inactive, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn't complaining since he'll be without top receiver Davante Adams (toe) for the third […]

Zay Jones Inactive In Week 7

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is a healthy inactive for Week 7 against the Packers. It's a surprise considering Tyrell Williams (foot) is also out, but it appears that Jones just hasn't mastered the offense yet after being acquired from the Bills last week. Also inactive are right tackle Trent Brown (calf) and wide […]

Dede Westbrook Playing Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is officially active for Week 7 against the Bengals. Westbrook tested his shoulder before the game and will give it a go in a great matchup against a Cincinnati team that will be missing their top cornerbacks. D.J. Chark and Westbrook remain quarterback Gardner Minshew's favorite targets in […]

Devin Singletary Officially Active For Week 7

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is officially active for Week 7 against the Dolphins. The matchup against Miami is as good as it gets, which immediately puts Singletary on the RB3/flex map in his return to action this weekend. However, his ceiling is still somewhat low as long as he continues to […]

Xavien Howard Inactive For Dolphins Defense

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) and safety Reshad Jones (chest) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Bills. In an already excellent matchup, the Bills passing game just got a boost with Miami's top cornerback being out. It'll mainly impact Buffalo's top wideout John Brown and quarterback Josh Allen, who are both in […]

Bradley Roby Expected To Return In Week 11

Houston Texans cornerback Bradley Roby (hamstring) is expected to return after the team's Week 10 bye, according to sources. Roby has been the team's best cornerback out of the slot, so missing him until Week 11 is a problem for a secondary that continues to give up big plays in the passing game. Even with […]

Alvin Kamara Not Ruled Out For Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee), who has already been ruled out for Week 7 with a high ankle sprain, has made progress and isn't being ruled out for Week 8. Kamara's owners will be without him this weekend against the Bears, but they could have him back in their lineups next […]

Christian Kirk Not Expected To Play

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) needs another week of rehab and recovery and is not expected to play in Week 7 against the Giants, according to sources. Continue to leave Kirk on your bench, as he will miss his third straight game. In his absence, Larry Fitzgerald, rookie Keesean Johnson and Trent Sherfield […]

Week 7 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

We're almost halfway through the NFL season already. Time really does fly. At this point in the year, you should know whether your fantasy squad is a pretender or contender for a fantasy title. You may only be missing a couple of key pieces. If so, you should certainly consider trading for a player or […]

Jose Urquidy Expected To Start Game 6

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch hasn't announced a starter for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series in what will likely be a bullpen game, but rookie pitcher Jose Urquidy is expected to start the game against the Yankees. The Mexican right-hander went 2-1 on the year with a 3.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 40 […]

Josh Oliver Set To Make NFL Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver (hamstring) practiced in full the last two days and isn't on the Week 7 injury report against the Bengals. Oliver has yet to play in his rookie season, but this weekend would be good timing for him to make his debut with Geoff Swaim out and James O'Shaughnessy […]
