DeSean Jackson Could Miss Next Two Games

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (groin) isn't expected to play in Week 3 against the Lions, and a quick turnaround on Thursday night against the Packers in Week 4 could make it tough as well. Jackson was injured early in Week 2 on Sunday night and never returned. You should prepare to be without […]

Drew Brees To Have Surgery Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) has decided to undergo surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday after having his injured hand examined by two specialists. A timetable for his return won't be known until after the surgery is done, according to a source. Brees will be out at least six weeks, so you'll need […]

Antonio Brown Situation A Long Way From Being Resolved

The NFL met with New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown's accuser on Monday for 10 hours in their investigation into sexual-assault allegations, according to a source. However, the matter looks to be a long way from being resolved, and two sources said the league hasn't scheduled a follow-up interview with Brown. It might take […]

Jaguars Defense Expecting To Have Jalen Ramsey Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said that he expects cornerback Jalen Ramsey to play on Thursday night against the Titans. Ramsey's agent requested a trade on Monday night, and multiple teams are believed to have already made offers for the shutdown cornerback. Against a sluggish offense with a quarterback that very rarely beats defenses […]

Mason Rudolph (QB, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in two-QB leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In a crushing blow for the Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger will undergo surgery on his right elbow and miss the rest of the season. Mason Rudolph, the team's third-round pick in 2018, made his NFL debut in Big Ben's absence in Week 2 against […]

Marcus Mariota Will Practice In Full Tuesday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) will practice in full on Tuesday. On a short week going up a very respectable defense, Mariota is a last-gasp QB2 in two-QB leagues on Thursday night. Tennessee's offense remains a slow-paced, run-first unit and Mariota just is way too inconsistent with the […]

Demaryius Thomas Week-To-Week

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) is listed as week-to-week after suffering a new injury in his Jets debut on Monday night against the Browns. Thomas caught only one pass before his injury on Monday for negative yards. It sounds like he won't be active in Week 3 against the Patriots, and […]

Trevor Siemian Has Ligament Damage, Out For Season

New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian (ankle) will miss the rest of the season after an MRI exam on Tuesday on his left ankle revealed ligament damage that will require surgery, according to head coach Adam Gase. Siemian, starting in place of the sick Sam Darnold on Monday night against the Browns, was injured early […]

Cowboys Defense Loses Xavier Woods For 4-6 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys free safety Xavier Woods (ankle) is expected to miss four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain, according to a source. Woods is a key piece of Dallas' secondary, so this is a notable loss moving forward, although it's not likely to matter much in Week 3 with a putrid Dolphins offense […]

Cam Newton's Week 3 Status Up In The Air

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) Week 3 status against the Cardinals is up in the air after he aggravated a foot injury that he initially suffered in the preseason. Newton is rehabbing during practice on Tuesday. Cam hasn't looked good through two weeks, and perhaps his foot is the main reason why. He's run […]

Isaiah Wynn Week-To-Week

New England Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) is considered week-to-week with turf toe, according to a source. His injury is not season-ending, however. With right tackle Marcus Cannon also injured, New England's offensive line has become a question mark moving forward. It's an upgrade to the Jets defensive line in Week 3, but fantasy […]

LeSean McCoy Has Shot To Play In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy's (ankle) MRI exam showed no significant damage to his ankle and he has a shot to play in Week 3 against the Ravens, according to sources. Damien Williams was also injured in Week 2, so McCoy's fantasy value will depend on if Williams can play as well. As […]

A.J. Brown (WR, TEN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We'll start off right away with the disclaimer: The Titans have a slow-paced, run-first offense led by an inaccurate and injury-prone quarterback in Marcus Mariota. Rookie A.J. Brown, a second-round pick this spring, caught three passes for 100 yards in his NFL […]

Jeffery Wilson (RB, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: In a move that went unnoticed by a lot of fantasy owners late last week, the 49ers added Jeffery Wilson from the practice squad to the active roster with Tevin Coleman (ankle) expected to miss several weeks. San Francisco immediately used a […]

D.J. Chark (WR, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The 22-year-old product from LSU didn't do much with Blake Bortles at quarterback in his rookie season, catching only 14 passes for 174 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games. Through two games in 2019, though, D.J. Chark is just three catches […]

JJ Arcega-Whiteside (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: JJ Arcega-Whiteside was a popular name during training camp and the preseason, impressing coaches with his work ethic and production. But when the regular season began he became a forgotten name behind Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor. Then Sunday night […]

Demaryius Thomas Injures Ankle Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (ankle) suffered an ankle injury on Monday night against the Browns and is out for the rest of the game. Thomas had just one catch for minus-one yard on two targets. To be fair, Thomas was making his debut with the team and was taking passes from backup […]

Trevor Siemian Suffers Injury Monday

New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian (ankle) suffered what looked to be a serious ankle injury in the second quarter on Monday night against the Browns. Siemian was hit hard and got his ankle caught underneath him while being taken to the turf. Somehow he was able to walk off the field under his own […]

David Njoku Out With Concussion Monday Night

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (concussion) suffered a concussion in the first half on Monday night against the Jets and will not return. Njoku was targeted just once on the play that resulted in his injury in which he went up in the air to receive the ball and was upended. The tight end […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Likely To Be Traded Tuesday

The Miami Dolphins are likely to trade defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick by Tuesday, and the team is expected to receive a first-round pick in exchange for him. The Redskins, Cowboys, Chiefs, Steelers, Eagles and Seahawks are the teams in the mix to acquire Fitzpatrick and offers are being made. In full-on rebuilding mode, the Dolphins […]

Tyler Higbee Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) suffered a lung contusion in Week 2 against the Saints and will be day-to-day. Higbee was coughing up blood and was sent to the hospital as a precaution, but this looks like an injury that luckily may not even cause him […]

Dee Ford Playing Through Knee Tendinitis

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (knee) is "still hurting today," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Ford has been playing through tendinitis since the preseason. It's the reason why he's had his snaps limited through two weeks, but he's been effective while on the field and has one sack and a forced fumble. […]

Corey Clement Likely Out A Couple Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (shoulder) underwent an MRI exam on Monday and is likely to miss a week or two, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Clement mostly makes his money on special teams for the Eagles, so his injury doesn't move the needle at all in fantasy. However, it could mean more […]

C.J. Mosley, Quinnen Williams Out Monday Night

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) both missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Monday night against the Browns. Mosley is one of the best all-around linebackers in the game when he's healthy, so his absence is a major downgrade for Gang Green's interior […]

Le'Veon Bell, Demaryius Thomas Active Against Browns

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) are both active on Monday night against the Browns. Bell was expected to play all along, and he should see plenty of touches against Cleveland, especially in the short passing game as a crutch for quarterback Trevor Siemian. Thomas will be […]

Rashard Higgins, Damarious Randall Inactive Monday Night

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and safety Damarious Randall (concussion, hand) are both inactive on Monday night against the Jets. With Higgins out, Damion Ratley should serve as the No. 3 receiver behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, but he's not much of a DFS option. Randall's absence in the secondary is […]

Marcus Mariota's Injury Not Serious

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (quadriceps) injury is not very serious. In an estimation of the practice statuses on Monday, Mariota was listed as a did not practice. However, it appears he'll be fine to suit up on a short week this Thursday against the Jaguars in a tough matchup. On top of it, Mariota […]

Jalen Ramsey Asking For Trade

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey's agent has asked for a trade following the Week 2 loss to the Texans, according to league sources. The Jaguars have spoken to interested teams, but they have no current plans to trade Ramsey after he got into a heated exchange with head coach Doug Marrone on the sidelines on […]

Devin Smith To Take On Bigger Role

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that wide receiver Devin Smith "will play more" with Michael Gallup (knee) being out two to four weeks. Smith will be in on three-receiver sets alongside Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb, beginning with a great matchup in Week 3 at home against the hapless Dolphins. The 27-year-old caught […]

Alshon Jeffery's Week 3 Status In Question

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) is dealing with a calf strain after being injured on Sunday night in Week 2 against the Falcons, according to a source. His injury isn't serious, but the timing is bad and Jeffery's status for Week 3 against the Lions is in question. DeSean Jackson and Dallas Goedert […]
