Travis Benjamin Lands On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed wide receiver Travis Benjamin (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and signed defensive tackle T.Y. McGill in a corresponding move. Benjamin can return later this year, but he should be dropped from all fantasy rosters in deeper leagues. The 29-year-old had just six catches on 16 targets for 30 scoreless […]

A.J. Green Won't Practice Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) will not practice again on Thursday. The Bengals aren't rushing their No. 1 receiver back, and he's highly unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Jaguars. With Cincy's bye coming in Week 9, it's possible that Green doesn't make his season debut until Week 10 against the […]

Josh Gordon, Matt LaCosse Miss Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) and tight end Matt LaCosse (knee) were not at practice on Thursday. Gordon was injured last Thursday night and didn't return to the game. He's in serious danger of sitting out on Monday night against the Jets, and he's even more difficult to trust with the game […]

Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb Out Again Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Amari Cooper (ankle, quadriceps) and Randall Cobb (back) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both players are on the wrong side of questionable right now for Sunday night against the Eagles. Until further notice, plan on being without both of them. That would put Michael Gallup as […]

Ravens Defense Unlikely To Have Jimmy Smith In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (knee) said he'll warm up and see how he feels on Sunday, but he's also planning to take it slow with the team's bye coming in Week 8. Smith is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Seahawks. The 31-year-old has yet to play this year and his absence […]

Dolphins Open To Trading Kenyan Drake

The Miami Dolphins have had trade talks with teams centered around running back Kenyan Drake, and they would trade him if the right offer presents itself, according to sources. Drake has had no extension talks with Miami since training camp and would welcome a change of scenery. He's been the team's lead back this year, […]

Bucs Not Looking To Trade O.J. Howard

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not looking to trade tight end O.J. Howard this year, according to sources. The former first-round pick had high expectations for him in head coach Bruce Arians' offense in 2019, but so far he's looked more like a glorified fullback, but that doesn't mean Tampa will try to trade him […]

Dede Westbrook, Marqise Lee, Geoff Swaim Not Practicing

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Dede Westbrook (shoulder) and Marqise Lee (ankle) and tight end Geoff Swaim (ankle, concussion) will all sit out of practice on Thursday. Westbrook has a nice matchup in a Bengals team likely to be missing their top cornerbacks this weekend, but he might be questionable to suit up. If he plays, […]

Raiders Sign Darren Waller To Extension

The Oakland Raiders signed tight end Darren Waller to a multi-year extension on Thursday that is expected to pay him around $9 million per season in what amounts to a three-year extension, according to the NFL Network. Waller was scheduled to become a restricted free agent after this season. He served a pair of suspensions […]

Drew Brees Working With Regulation-Sized Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) said that he's back to working with a regulation-sized football in his rehab. "I have a really kind of disciplined plan for what I need to do for strength and flexibility and then my throwing and all that stuff. So really starting to get back into it, doing […]

Rams Defense Hopes To Have Jalen Ramsey Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the goal is to have newly acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) ready to play in Week 7 against the Falcons. Ramsey missed the last three games with the Jaguars before being dealt to the Rams this week to help shore up their secondary issues. If he makes […]

Rashaad Penny Not On Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is not listed on the initial injury report for Week 7 against the Ravens. It's a bit of a surprise after Penny was inactive in Week 6 against the Browns. He should return to being a change-of-pace back behind workhorse Chris Carson. Now that Carson's fumbling issues are […]

Greg Robinson In Danger Of Being Benched

Cleveland Browns left tackle Greg Robinson has already been benched or is in serious jeopardy of it, according to a league source. There's a decent chance that Robinson will be replaced by someone else when the team returns from their Week 7 bye, possibly by backup Kendall Lamm. The Browns are also contemplating replacing right […]

Travis Benjamin Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (quadriceps) did not practice on Wednesday after getting banged up in the Sunday night loss to the Steelers. Consider him questionable to suit up for Week 7 against the Titans, but Benjamin has time to return to practice later this week. With tight end Hunter Henry back in […]

Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison Out

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) and Geronimo Allison (chest, concussion) all were listed as out of practice in the estimated report on Wednesday. Tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) was also listed as did not participate. Green Bay's receivers are really banged up, which led them to sign Ryan […]

Todd Gurley Limited, Malcolm Brown Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (thigh) will take part in individual drills at practice on Wednesday, while head coach Sean McVay said that running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is day-to-day. Gurley was inactive last weekend but has a chance to return in Week 7 against the Falcons in a pristine matchup. He'd have […]

Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Miss Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee), tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) all missed practice on Wednesday. Kamara could miss practice all week with a mild high ankle sprain, but he's still hoping to play in Week 7 against the Bears. In a tough matchup on potentially […]

Mason Rudolph Clears Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and can return in Week 8 against the Dolphins after the team's Week 7 bye. It looks like Rudolph will miss just one game after a scary collision in Week 5. Rudolph's return will be good news for all of the Steelers skill […]

Jace Sternberger Designated To Return From IR

The Green Bay Packers have designated rookie tight end Jace Sternberger (ankle) as one of two players to return from Injured Reserve this year, according to a source. The third-round pick has yet to play in the NFL, but he should be able to help the Packers in a few weeks. With veteran Jimmy Graham […]

Vernon Davis Limited Wednesday At Practice

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Davis has a chance to return this weekend, but he must officially pass through the league's concussion protocol later this week. If the veteran suits up, he'll be a low-end, low-upside TE2 in a tough matchup with the 49ers. Jeremy Sprinkle hasn't […]

Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson, Case Keenum Sit Out

Washington Redskins running backs Adrian Peterson (quadriceps) and Chris Thompson (toe) and quarterback Case Keenum (foot, shoulder) all sat out of practice on Wednesday. Thompson is the most in danger of sitting out Week 7 against the 49ers with turf toe. You should consider other options if you've been using him as a PPR flex. […]

Packers Sign Ryan Grant For Receiver Depth

The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent wide receiver Ryan Grant on Wednesday and waived running back Tra Carson in a corresponding move, according to a source. With Davante Adams (toe) missing the last two games and Geronimo Allison also injured on Monday night, the Packers need some more receiver depth. Grant had four catches for […]

David Johnson Misses Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Johnson missed most of practice last week but still managed to play in Week 6 and went off for a rushing and receiving touchdown against the Falcons. He'll have another great matchup against the Giants on the road in Week 7 and should […]

Brock Osweiler Announces Retirement

Free-agent quarterback Brock Osweiler announced his retirement on Wednesday. His biggest contributions in the NFL came back in 2015 when he led the Broncos to a 5-2 record in the absence of an injured Peyton Manning. Denver would go on to win Super Bowl 50 that year over the Panthers. The second-round pick in 2012 […]

Packers Won't Reduce Jimmy Graham's Role

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team has no plans to reduce tight end Jimmy Graham's role despite his ineffectiveness and a dropped touchdown pass on Monday night against the Lions. The declining veteran caught two passes on five targets for 17 yards in Week 6 and has just 14 receptions for […]

Parris Campbell Sits Out Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Campbell hasn't played since Sept. 29 and doesn't look close to returning in Week 7 following the team's bye week. He has 10 catches on 13 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown through four games and is currently only […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) and Will Fuller (calf, oblique) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday. Hopkins has been uncharacteristically quiet since his two-touchdown Week 1 and he has just two double-digit target games. However, he can go off at any moment and is a must-start, high-end WR1 each […]

Kenny Stills Practicing In Full

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (hamstring) was practicing in full on Wednesday. Stills should be able to return to action in Week 7 against the Colts if he can avoid setbacks this week. However, he and Keke Coutee could split snaps out of the slot, largely making them both low-upside WR5 options in fantasy. […]

Derrius Guice Could Practice Next Week

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that running back Derrius Guice (knee) could return to practice next week, but nothing is definite. Guice has been bothered by injuries since he came into the NFL, and there remains no timetable for his return. He's still a worthy stash in deeper leagues given the team's […]

John Brown Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's concerning for Brown coming off the team's bye week, but he should still be able to suit up in what is a juicy matchup against the winless Dolphins. Miami is allowing the seventh most fantasy points per game (27.0) to opposing […]
