Drew Brees Still In Play For Week 8

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has declined to name a starting quarterback for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Drew Brees (thumb) was limited in practice on Thursday and isn't being ruled out over Teddy Bridgewater just yet. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Saints hold Brees out another week with their bye […]

Chiefs Defense Won't Have Chris Jones, Frank Clark

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) have both been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers. It's a big loss for the Chiefs defensive front and great news for Packers running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Jones should be considered a must-start in this […]

Sammy Watkins Will Play Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Packers in Week 8. Watkins will make his first start since Sept. 29 against the Lions. Aside from his 198-yard, three-touchdown outlier in Week 1, Watkins didn't top 64 yards in his other three […]

Keenan Allen, Michael Badgley Questionable

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and kicker Michael Badgley (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Bears. Allen suffered a mid-week injury and missed practice both Thursday and Friday, so he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's game or being limited. Allen will be a bust candidate against […]

Chris Herndon IV Unlikely To Play In Week 8

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) will be limited in practice again on Friday, but the New York Post's Brian Costello thinks it's doubtful that Herndon will play in Week 8 against the Jaguars. Herndon has yet to make his season debut after a suspension and after tweaking his hamstring while practicing […]

Davante Adams Not Fully Recovered

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) said his toe isn't fully recovered yet, but he's feeling a lot better. "I’m a little limited right now," Adams said, "but for the most part I can do a lot of different footwork stuff. It’s just the full-speed routes right now that are a little tougher […]

David Johnson A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that running back David Johnson (ankle, back) will likely be a game-time decision in Week 8 against the Saints. Johnson was active last week but played just two snaps and saw Chase Edmonds rack up yardage and three touchdowns against the Giants. Johnson is shaping up to be […]

Adam Thielen Expected Back In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer expects wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Thielen was held out as a precaution in Thursday night's win over the Redskins. Expect Thielen to return to a great matchup that could be a shootout with the Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes (knee) is […]

Tyrell Williams Expected To Return In Week 8

Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) "looked good yesterday and followed it up with another good day today. So, we're excited to get him back." It sounds like the Raiders expect Williams to return this Sunday against the Texans for the first time since Week 4. The first-year […]

Parris Campbell Has Good Chance To Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said he thinks there's a good chance that rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) will play in Week 8 against the Broncos. Campbell has been out since Week 4 and has only 10 catches (13 targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown in his four games this season. He […]

Duke Williams Questionable For Week 8

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles. As the team's No. 3 wideout, Williams has just five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown in two games this year. He can't be trusted in fantasy starting lineups just yet, even […]

Noah Fant Should Play Against Colts

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) isn't practicing on Friday but should be ready to play in Week 8 against the Colts, according to a source. Fant could be questionable on the final injury report, but he should be out there on Sunday. The first-round pick doesn't have more than four catches or […]

Zay Jones Expected To Play In Week 8

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Texans. Tyrell Williams (foot) has a chance to return this week as well from his two-game absence. It's unclear how much Jones will actually play if he's active, but if both he and Williams are active, it's […]

Dede Westbrook Questionable Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Jets. Westbrook was questionable last week also, but he suited up and went for over 100 yards receiving against the winless Bengals. We expect Westbrook to play again this Sunday, but make sure to check Sunday morning's inactives. If […]

Matt Ryan Questionable For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is questionable for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Ryan is nursing an ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 7 and could be a game-time decision Sunday morning. The Falcons are 1-6 and in danger of getting head coach Dan Quinn fired, so they may roll Ryan out there […]

Shin-Soo Choo Undergoes Shoulder Surgery

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (shoulder) underwent a minor surgery -- an AC joint debridement -- on his shoulder that is expected to keep him out for six to eight weeks. "It’s a relatively minor procedure with a timeline our medical staff believes will allow him to have a normal offseason. We expect he’ll be […]

Marcell Dareus Placed On Injured Reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (abdomen) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and signed free-agent defensive tackle Akeem Spence to the active roster in a corresponding move. Dareus could be designated to return later this season, but the Jaguars will basically be without him for the rest of the regular season. It's […]

Broncos Won't Give Chris Harris Jr. Away

It would take a strong offer to pry Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. away before the Oct. 29 trade deadline next week. Harris remains one of the best shutdown corners in the NFL, and Denver's secondary would be much less fearsome if he were playing for another organization. He'll be tasked with slowing down […]

Von Miller Slumping In Ninth Season

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has just 2.5 sacks through seven games in 2019, leaving him on pace for just six all season. He posted fewer than six sacks in a season just once, back in 2013 when he played in nine games due to suspension and injury. It won't make matters easier the rest […]

Jamison Crowder Should Be Fine For Sunday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (knee) had an awkward collision in practice on Thursday, and he was removed as a precaution. Crowder could be listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 8 against the Jaguars, but he should be fine to play on Sunday. […]

Case Keenum The Starter When Healthy

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) will be the starter in Week 9 against the Bills if he's healthy. If he can't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Thursday night, rookie Dwayne Haskins would get the start. The good news is that […]

Patrick Corbin Gets Game 4 Of World Series

The Washington Nationals announced starting pitcher Patrick Corbin as their Game 4 starter of the World Series against the Astros on Saturday. Houston might be opposing Corbin with a bit of a bullpen game, depending on what happens in Game 3 on Friday with Houston down by two games. Corbin has given up 11 earned […]

Case Keenum Knocked Out Thursday With Concussion

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) suffered a concussion on Thursday night against the Vikings and has been ruled out for the second half. The journeyman quarterback was 12-for-16 for 130 yards without a touchdown or interception, but he did lose a fumble before leaving. He wasn't terrible, but he predictably wasn't great either against […]

Deebo Samuel Expected To Return Against Panthers

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) has been limited in practice this week and is expected to return to face the Panthers in Week 8 on Sunday. Samuel missed last week but should return after just a one-week absence to face Carolina. He shouldn't be trusted in the majority of leagues, though, […]

Dante Pettis Added To Injury Report

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Panthers and was limited in practice on Thursday. Mid-week setbacks aren't good, so Pettis could wind up being questionable this weekend. He was already trending down as more of a WR4/5 in PPR leagues after the Niners […]

Josh Jacobs Could Play Without Practicing

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he feels like he could play in Week 8 against the Texans even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Players don't usually get to make these decisions, but Jacobs should be questionable and has a chance to suit up as the team's lead back. […]

Keenan Allen Misses Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Bears and did not practice on Thursday. It puts Allen's status in doubt for this weekend in a tough matchup on the road. The 27-year-old has been held under 100 yards receiving and hasn't scored since his […]

Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Miss Another Practice

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Neither player looks particularly close to playing in Week 8 against the Cardinals, so you shouldn't plan on having either of them in your lineups. Cook caught touchdowns in his last two […]

Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Kamara didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a notable improvement, although he's still very questionable to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The Saints are likely factoring in their Week 9 bye […]

Jalen Richard Added To Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard (ankle) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Texans and was limited in practice on Thursday. This is worth watching with rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) questionable for this weekend. If Jacobs were to sit out, Richard and Deandre Washington would form a split in […]
