Tyreek Hill Injures Shoulder

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) left the game in Week 1 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Hill had two catches for 16 yards on two targets before exiting, so his fantasy owners are hoping he can return. Sammy Watkins has been quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target, catches all four […]

Melvin Gordon Will Report In 6-8 Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, who missed all of training camp and the preseason while holding out for a new contract, plans to report in the window that spans from Week 6 through Week 8, according to sources. He must report by Week 10 to have the 2019 season count toward free agency […]

Cam Robinson Could Miss A Few Weeks

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee), who hyperextended his right knee in practice this week, could miss up to a few weeks, according to a source. The good news is there was no structural damage found. The bad news is that backup Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring) is also inactive for Week 1 against the Chiefs, […]

Patriots Not Ruling Out Demaryius Thomas

The New England Patriots aren't ruling out wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) for Week 1 on Sunday night against the Steelers, but they will be cautious not to aggravate his injury. It's not a ringing endorsement for Thomas playing against Pittsburgh. Even if he does suit up, he'll be fourth on the receiver depth chart […]

Byron Jones Won't Start For Cowboys Defense

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Byron Jones (hip) will not start in Week 1 against the Giants, according to a source. Jones is recovering from offseason hip surgery, and the Cowboys will ease him into the season opener and monitor his snaps. As a result, Jones obviously isn't an option in IDP formats. Dallas' defense/special […]

Nick Bosa Expected to Play In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle), who suffered an ankle sprain early in the preseason, is expected to play in Week 1 against the Buccaneers, according to a source. The No. 2 overall pick may not play a full complement of snaps in his first regular season NFL game, however, so he's […]

Mike Evans, Devin White Will Play Against 49ers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (illness) and rookie linebacker Devin White (illness), who were both listed as questionable, will play in Week 1 against the 49ers, according to sources. In a projected shootout with San Francisco, Evans is an elite WR1 for fantasy owners this weekend. White has the chance to be one […]

Michael Badgley Won't Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin), who was listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Colts, will not play on Sunday, according to a source. Ty Long will do the kicking in the season opener, but he shouldn't be in any fantasy lineups. When healthy, Badgley is in the discussion as a starting […]

Tyler Kroft Sitting In Week 1

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) is inactive in Week 1 against the Jets. Kroft was doubtful to play coming into this one, so it should surprise nobody. None of Buffalo's tight end options are interesting from a fantasy perspective, including Kroft when he's healthy. The Bills could use a combination of Lee Smith […]

Albert Wilson Active Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is active for Week 1 against the Ravens. Wilson was always expected to suit up, so this isn't much of a surprise. He should be more of a focal point in the offense out of the slot now that Kenny Stills isn't around, and he could be […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should See 20-25 Snaps

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is expected to play 20 to 25 snaps in the regular season opener on Sunday against the Giants. Previous reports suggested Elliott could see a full workload in Week 1 after the team was impressed with his conditioning after a contract holdout that lasted through training camp and the […]

Adrian Peterson A Healthy Scratch In Week 1

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Eagles. The Redskins are instead going with running back Wendell Smallwood, who also contributes on special teams. Peterson won't always be a healthy inactive in 2019, but it's not a good sign for the team's leading rusher a year ago. […]

LeSean McCoy To See 15-20 Snaps

The plan is for Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy to see around 15 to 20 snaps in his team debut against the Jaguars in Week 1 on Sunday. Shady should operate as the No. 2 behind Damien Williams this year, but it looks like he'll be eased into the game plan in the […]

Keke Coutee Questionable For Monday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) was limited in all three practices this week and is questionable for Week 1 on Monday night against the Saints. Coutee has progressed from his high ankle sprain, but he's much too risky of a fantasy option to rely on in Week 1 as a WR4, especially since […]

Michael Badgley Downgraded To Doubtful

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday. Badgley injured himself in practice this week and is likely to sit out of the season opener. It's a tough break for a kicker that really established himself on a team that had been consistently […]

Jordan Reed Out Against Eagles

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) did not make the trip to Philadelphia and is out for Week 1 against the Eagles. Reed just couldn't get cleared from the concussion protocol in time for the season opener. He remains a much-too-risky TE2 that more often than not finds himself on the sidelines. Vernon Davis […]

Week 1 Busts - Overvalued Players To Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's finally here. That moment all of you fantasy football fanatics have been waiting for. Week 1 of the 2019 regular season. No longer will we have to sit through meaningless preseason games and training camp babble. You can finally see if your prized draft-pick selections will pay off. Throw your special jersey on, kick […]

Cowboys Release Alfred Morris

The Dallas Cowboys released veteran running back Alfred Morris on Saturday, according to a source. The move was made in order to make room on the roster for Ezekiel Elliott, who ended his long contract holdout by signing an extension on Wednesday. Rookie Tony Pollard will be Zeke's direct backup in 2019, but Pollard won't […]

Devin White Questionable For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (illness) has been added to the Week 1 injury report and is questionable to play on Sunday against the 49ers. White is expected to have an immediate presence in the middle of Tampa's defense and has been a popular name thrown around as a Defensive Rookie of the […]

Marqise Lee Not On Final Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) was taken off the final injury report for Week 1 against the Chiefs. Lee practiced in full all week and will be out there for the season opener in a game where the Jags could be forced to pass often to play catch-up with the explosive Chiefs. While […]

Eli Manning Will Start As Long As Team Is In Playoff Race

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is expected to remain the team's starter this year "as long as we're in the playoff race," according to team officials. Head coach Pat Shurmur still believes in Manning, so it looks like the Giants will give him a long leash despite the fact that rookie Daniel Jones exceeded […]

Redskins Not Expecting Jordan Reed To Play

The Washington Redskins are not expecting tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) to play in the season opener against the Eagles on Sunday, according to sources. Tight end J.P. Holtz has been promoted from the practice squad as a result. Reed's injury woes continue. The oft-injured tight end has TE1 upside when he's on the field, […]

Raiders Officially Release Antonio Brown

The Oakland Raiders released wide receiver Antonio Brown on Saturday. Brown exploded on general manager Mike Mayock on Thursday after being fined for missing practices and then posting to social media. It wasn't the first time that he created drama within the organization this summer, either. Given all of AB's off-field baggage in the last […]

Carson Wentz Becoming More Comfortable In Pocket

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz hasn't been using his legs as much this summer, which shows a more patient approach from a pocket perspective. Wentz previously ranked 26th out of 33 quarterbacks in average time spent in the pocket per pass (2.77 seconds), according to ESPN Stats and Information. He's been contacted 243 times since […]

Raiders May Put Antonio Brown On Reserve/Left Squad List

In light of the situation surrounding Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown and his recent request for a release, the team might eventually be able to put him on the reserve/left squad list if he refuses to return. If that were to happen, Brown would be shut down in 2019 and wouldn't be able to […]

Julio Jones To Sign Three-Year Extension

The Atlanta Falcons and wide receiver Julio Jones are finalizing a three-year, $66 million contract extension on Saturday, league sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport. The $22 million per season would make Jones the highest-paid receiver in the game. The 30-year-old is an elite wideout that is coming off a season in […]

Ziggy Ansah Now Questionable For Seahawks Defense

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) is now questionable to play in Week 1 against the Bengals after not being listed on the final injury report earlier on Friday. Ansah should be able to play in the season opener on Sunday, but it'd be a surprise if he's in on […]

Paul Richardson Taken Off Week 1 Injury Report

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) was taken off the final injury report for Week 1 against the Eagles. Richardson practiced in full all week and will be good to go for the regular season opener. Washington has perhaps the worst receiving corps in the NFL with Richardson, Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin in […]

Jerick McKinnon Undergoes Another Surgery

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) underwent a second surgery on his right knee on Tuesday of this week. McKinnon will miss his second straight full season after signing with the Niners before last season. It's unlikely he'll stick around, but if he does in 2020 the 49ers will seek a drastic reduction […]

David Moore Out Next Two Weeks

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (arm) will not play in Week 1 against the Bengals and will also miss Week 2. Head coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Moore will have a decent chance to return in Week 3 or after, though. Tyler Lockett should be in all fantasy lineups for the season opener […]
