Browns Want To Give Nick Chubb More Touches

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said that he'd love to give running back Nick Chubb more touches, which would include using him more on third downs in passing situations. Through two games, the second-year back has 35 rushing attempts and has caught seven of his eight targets in the passing game. It's pretty good […]

James Conner Says He's Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) isn't sure if he'll practice on Wednesday, but he said based on how his knee feels he'll be good to go for Week 3 against the 49ers on the road. With Conner potentially being less than 100 percent this weekend, we could see backup Jaylen Samuels get a […]

Cam Newton Not Practicing Wednesday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. Newton aggravated the foot injury he suffered in the preseason and is looking questionable for Week 3 against the Cardinals. Consider him more of a QB2 this week with his status up in the air. If he's forced to sit, Kyle Allen would take […]

Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Dallas Goedert Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) and tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) are all day-to-day. There's a possibility that both Jeffery and Jackson miss both Weeks 3 and 4, as the Eagles play on a short week next Thursday. Continue to keep an eye […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick To Play Safety For Steelers Defense

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will play the free safety spot with his new team to help replace Sean Davis (shoulder), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

Colts Working Out Kickers With Adam Vinatieri Struggling

The Indianapolis Colts worked out free-agent kickers Elliott Fry, Cody Parkey, Younghoe Koo, Greg Joseph, Cole Hedlund and Chase McLaughlin on Tuesday in the wake of Adam Vinatieri's struggles through two weeks.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed free-agent tight end Lance Kendricks on Tuesday and placed safety Adrian Phillips (arm) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move.

Adam Humphries' Chemistry Lacking With Marcus Mariota

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries said his chemistry with quarterback Marcus Mariota is a work in progress. Humphries is working on being a better option for Mariota, especially on third down. The first-year Titan has just three catches for four yards after two weeks and is sixth on the team in targets with four, […]

Browns Want To Get Ball Out Of Baker Mayfield's Hand

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said that he needs to put quarterback Baker Mayfield in better position to succeed and get the ball out of his hand quicker because he's taking too many hits after two weeks. It hasn't helped that Cleveland's offensive line isn't giving Mayfield much time to throw, but Mayfield also […]

Yannick Ngakoue Could Return For Jaguars Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Tuesday after being limited on Monday. Jacksonville's best pass rusher should be able to return on Thursday against the Titans after being inactive in the Week 2 loss to the Texans. The Jaguars Defense/special teams is a low-end starting option for this […]

Lions Release C.J. Anderson, Claim Paul Perkins

The Detroit Lions released running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday and claimed running back Paul Perkins off waivers from the Giants in a corresponding move. If anything, this is good news for Kerryon Johnson, who lost five carries to Anderson, five to rookie Ty Johnson and two to J.D. McKissic in the Week 2 win […]

Marqise Lee On Track To Play Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday after being limited on Monday. Lee sat out of the Week 2 loss against the Texans, but it looks like he's on track to return on Thursday in a matchup with the Titans. Behind Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark and Chris […]

Isaiah Wynn Going On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots are placing left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. He'll miss at least eight weeks after getting injured in Week 2. Marshall Newhouse should take over on the left side. Wynn also missed all of his rookie season with an injury, so he just […]

Buccaneers Not Worried About O.J. Howard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians didn't seem too worried about tight end O.J. Howard after he didn't see any targets in the passing game last Thursday. "The balls will come. We don't dictate who gets the ball, the defense does, so sometimes it will spread around for different people every week," Arians said. […]

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.

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.

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 […]
