Seahawks Hope To Have Rashaad Penny Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that the team hopes to have running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) back at practice on Thursday after he was inactive in the Week 3 loss to the Saints. Penny initially hurt himself in practice on Friday, but it doesn't sound like a serious injury. Chris Carson was the […]

Tevin Coleman Has Good Chance To Play In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Tevin Coleman (ankle) has a good chance to return in Week 5 after the bye. The Niners return after their bye to play on Monday night at home against the Browns. It's not the best of matchups, but those in need of running back […]

James Develin Placed On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots fullback James Develin (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. While Develin wasn't at all fantasy relevant, his loss is notable for the Patriots ground game, most notably Sony Michel. Michel had another underwhelming performance in the easy Week 3 win over the Jets, rushing nine times for only 11 yards […]

A.J. Green Won't Practice, Play In Week 4

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) will not practice this week and won't play on Monday night in Week 4 against the Steelers. Green is progressing, but there remains no timetable on his return. Continue to stash Green in all leagues, but it's looking like it might be […]

Allen Hurns In Concussion Protocol

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that wide receiver Allen Hurns (concussion) is in the protocol and is on his way back to Miami. Hurns was hospitalized after suffering a head injury in the Week 3 loss to the Cowboys. The 27-year-old has just one catch in each of the first three games of […]

Colts Defense Without Malik Hooker For 4-6 Weeks

Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker (knee) will have surgery on Tuesday to trim his torn meniscus and will likely miss four to six weeks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a big loss for Indy's defense moving forward and will make them a less attractive streaming option in Week 4 at home against the […]

Demaryius Thomas, C.J. Mosley Trending In Right Direction

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee), linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) are all trending in the right direction for Week 5 against the Eagles, according to head coach Adam Gase. Thomas sat out in Week 3 but should return to the roster following the bye week. […]

Sam Darnold Improving

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) can start doing cardio but has yet to be medically cleared from his bout with mononucleosis. He will undergo further testing, and the quarterback said the next step is for his spleen enlargement to go down. Darnold will visit with doctors next […]

Taylor Gabriel Suffers Concussion Monday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) suffered a concussion in the third quarter on Monday night and was ruled out against the Redskins. Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (knee) also was hurt in the fourth quarter. Gabriel was still able to make fantasy owners plenty happy before his injury, though, catching six of seven targets […]

Ronald Darby Expected To Miss Time For Eagles Defense

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby (hamstring) is expected to miss some time after an MRI exam, according to a source. Darby is likely to sit out a few games after injuring himself in the Week 3 loss to the Lions. If he can't suit up Thursday against the Packers, Philly will be down to three […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Added To Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (heel) was added to the injury report and did not practice on Monday. The 22-year-old was a popular waiver wire pickup last week when both Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) went down with injuries, but he had only one catch on three targets for 10 yards […]

Eagles Hoping To Have Alshon Jeffery This Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) will be ready for Week 4 on Thursday against the Packers. Jeffery hurt his left calf in the first quarter in Week 2 and sat out the loss on Sunday to the Lions, but he was limited in practice on Monday. […]

Darius Slay Could Miss Week 4 For Lions Defense

Detroit Lions Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) could be forced to sit out of Week 4 against the Chiefs after injuring his hamstring on the second series of the third quarter in the Week 3 win over the Eagles. Slay, the team's No. 1 cornerback often tasked with covering the opponent's No. 1 receiver, […]

Falcons Defense Loses Keanu Neal For The Season

Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal's (Achilles) tests showed that he tore his Achilles in the Week 3 loss to the Colts, according to a source. He will miss the rest of the 2019 season. It's a tough blow for the 24-year-old, as he played in just one game in 2018 before suffering a season-ending injury. […]

Patriots Confident In Stephen Gostkowski

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said he's confident in kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who has missed four kicks in two games. "Honestly, I think Steve has hit the ball well," Belichick said. "I understand we’ve had a couple of missed kicks in games, I see that, but on a day-to-day basis, you don’t see […]

Julian Edelman Day-To-Day With Rib Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (rib) is being listed as day-to-day after suffering a rib injury in the Week 3 win over the Jets, according to a league source. He "hasn't been ruled out" for Week 4 against the Bills. Edelman's X-rays came back negative, and quarterback Tom Brady said his favorite target […]

Freddie Kitchens Won't Give Up Play-Calling Duties

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said he's not considering giving up offensive play-calling duties after the team's Sunday night loss to the Rams in Week 3. The Browns are 1-2 and are averaging 16.3 points per game after three weeks. "It's me. It's my fault. Todd does a great job. Todd does a great […]

Jalen Ramsey Out Will Illness

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey told the team on Sunday that he was sick and wouldn't practice on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Despite requesting a trade last week and many teams being interested in the former first-rounder, there's "no momentum" on a deal at this moment. Jacksonville is reluctant to ship Ramsey […]

Cam Newton Will Miss Week 4

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is already ruling out quarterback Cam Newton (foot) for Week 4 against the Texans. Backup Kyle Allen will make a second straight start versus Houston. "What Cam needs right now is time and rest for his foot," Rivera said in a statement. "We want him at 100 percent when […]

Cardinals Release Michael Crabtree

The Arizona Cardinals released wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Monday after he was with the club for just over a month. He was inactive for the season opener before playing 30 combined snaps in the last two games, totaling four catches on five targets for just 22 yards. The Cardinals are using four-receiver sets on […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Tre'Quan Smith Won't Play Against Seahawks

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Seahawks after missing practice all week. Even had Smith been able to play, he wouldn't have been a realistic option as a flex play with Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill expected to split work under center with Drew […]

Tavon Austin Ruled Out Against Dolphins

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Dolphins. Austin holds very little fantasy value to begin with as mostly a kick returner and gadget player for the Cowboys. With Michael Gallup (knee) out two to four weeks, Devin Smith will see the biggest boost in playing […]

Sterling Shepard Played Through Concussion In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) said he played through a concussion in Week 1 against the Cowboys because he wanted to try and help the team win. Shepard didn't start feeling normal until this week and is off the final injury report for Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Shepard will be the […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Saints

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Saints after suffering an injury in practice on Friday. Late-week additions to the injury report are never good, putting Penny in real danger of sitting out this Sunday. He was a risky RB3/flex in PPR leagues to begin with […]

David Njoku Lands On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns placed tight end David Njoku (wrist) on Injured Reserve on Friday and claimed safety Juston Burris off waivers from the Raiders in a corresponding move. Njoku had four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in two games before getting injured in the Monday night win over the Jets. We'd recommend keeping […]

Nick Bosa, Dee Ford Questionable For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) and defensive end Dee Ford (knee, quadriceps) are both questionable for Week 3 against the Steelers. Also questionable are safety Jaquiski Tartt (toe) and free safety Jimmie Ward (hand, finger). Bosa and Ford both should suit up in this one, but they could both have their […]

Jalen Hurd Ruled Out For Week 3

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Steelers. Hurd has a chance to return after the team's Week 4 bye, but it's not a guarantee. He has a greater chance of being involved in the offense when he returns with Trent Taylor (foot) now […]

Aaron Donald Questionable For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (back) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday night. Donald has practiced this week, so we'd expect him to suit up. However, he could be limited in an excellent opportunity against the Browns patchwork offensive line. In IDP leagues you'll want to have […]

Tyler Higbee Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) has been ruled out for Week 3 on Sunday night against the Browns. With Higbee out, Gerald Everett will take over the main pass-catching duties against Cleveland. The Browns have been somewhat vulnerable to tight ends so far in 2019, making Everett a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer this […]
