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 […]

James Conner Confident He'll Play In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) said on Monday that he's confident that he will play in Week 3 against the 49ers after tests showed no significant damage to his knee. If he plays at less than 100 percent this Sunday without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow), Conner will be more of an RB2 and […]

D.J. Chark, Chris Conley, Marqise Lee Limited Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers D.J. Chark (ankle), Chris Conley (hip) and Marqise Lee (knee) were all limited in practice on Monday ahead of the Week 3 game Thursday night against the Titans. All three should be able to suit up, although Lee missed the Week 2 game. Chark has been Jacksonville's most productive wideout through […]

Marcus Mariota, A.J. Brown On Week 3 Injury Report

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) and rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) are both listed on the Week 3 injury report on Monday. Both players should be able to play on a short week on Thursday against the Jags, but neither are enticing fantasy options. Mariota has gone under 30 pass attempts each of […]

Darius Leonard In Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Frank Reich. Leonard developed symptoms after the team's 19-17 win over the Titans in Week 2. He had a game-high tying 10 tackles and a sack in the game and remains one of the top IDP linebackers for fantasy […]

Colts Sticking With Adam Vinatieri

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that kicker Adam Vinatieri will remain the team's kicker. "Just want to make this clear. Adam is our kicker. Make to make sure that's clear," Reich said. There was previous speculation that the veteran would retire after Sunday's win over the Titans, but it looks like the Colts […]

Devin Singletary Day-To-Day

The Buffalo Bills are "still gathering information" on rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring), and he's listed as day-to-day for now. He might miss some practice time this week, but as of now his injury doesn't seem very serious. Singletary has been more impressive than veteran Frank Gore through two games, but Gore carried the […]

Tyrell Williams, Josh Jacobs Dinged Up

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (hip) is dealing with a hip pointer and rookie running back Josh Jacobs (groin) has a groin issue. It remains to be seen if either player is in danger of missing Week 3 at the Vikings, but their practices statuses this week will […]

David Johnson Will Play In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back David Johnson (wrist) is fine to play in Week 3 against the Panthers. Because Johnson was forced to leave the Week 2 game against the Ravens with his injury, he only carried the ball seven times for 14 yards and caught his only target in […]

Michael Gallup Having Surgery, Out 2-4 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee and will miss two to four weeks, according to sources. Gallup should be able to return relatively soon since no structural damage was found besides the meniscus tear. This is a tough one for his fantasy owners, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Remains Dolphins Starter

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the team's starter heading into Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Brian Flores. There has been zero Fitzmagic in Miami in two games to begin the 2019 season, and the 36-year-old veteran was 11-for-21 for 89 yards and three interceptions, including two pick-sixes, in the 43-0 […]

James Conner's Injury Isn't Serious

Multiple teammates believe that Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (knee) injury is not serious, but Jaylen Samuels is prepared to start in Week 3 against the 49ers on the road if necessary. Conner walked through the locker room following the Week 2 loss to the Seahawks and appeared to be moving fine. Keep a […]

Giants Decline To Name Eli Manning The Week 3 Starter

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur declined to name quarterback Eli Manning the starter for Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Manning went 26-for-45 (57.8 percent) for 250 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 2 loss against a tough Bills Defense. To be fair, Manning was without Sterling Shepard (concussion) and lost […]

Tim Jernigan Out 4-6 Weeks For Eagles Defense

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Tim Jernigan (foot) suffered a broken foot in the Week 2 loss to the Falcons and is expected to miss four to six weeks. The good news is that Jernigan won't need surgery, so he should be back later this season. Philly has good depth up front on the defensive line, […]

Ben Roethlisberger's Season Is Over

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) is out for the season with a right elbow injury that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the Seahawks. It's not exactly known what's wrong with Big Ben's elbow, but it looks like he'll be undergoing season-ending surgery to fix it. He went 8-for-15 for 75 yards […]

Tyler Higbee Sent To Hospital For Lung Injury

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) was sent to the hospital as a precaution on Sunday after suffering a chest injury in the Week 2 win over the Saints, according to sources. His injury turned out to be to his lung and it caused him to cough up blood. Higbee could miss some […]
