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 […]

Robby Anderson Questionable Against Bills

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Bills. Anderson has been practicing this week and is expected to be ready to go for the season opener. We'd expect him to play, but he does have a tough matchup with Buffalo cornerback Tre'Davious White and will […]

Nick Bosa Questionable, Jimmie Ward Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) returned to practice this week but is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. Safety Jimmie Ward (finger) suffered a broken finger in practice on Wednesday and will not dress for the season opener. It's unknown how long he'll be out. Bosa should be […]

Le'Veon Bell Won't Be Held Back In Opener

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell told head coach Adam Gase "don't hold back" with his workload in Week 1 against the Bills. Bell is expected to get 15 to 20 touches in his season debut with Gang Green, so fantasy owners shouldn't need to be too worried about the Jets easing him in […]

Trent Taylor, Jalen Hurd Out For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (foot) and Jalen Hurd (back) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. Taylor and Hurd are both week-to-week for now and can be left to the waiver wire in most redraft leagues. In a good matchup against the Bucs, Dante Pettis, the team's No. 1 […]

D.K. Metcalf, Ziggy Ansah Not On Final Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) and defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin) are not on the final injury report for Week 1 against the Bengals. Metcalf will indeed make his season debut in the opener after having a knee cleanup. The impressive youngster has big-play potential, but he's in a run-first offense and […]

Michael Badgley Questionable For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) injured himself in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday. Badgley turned into a fantasy relevant kicker last year for a team had struggled for years to figure out their kicking situation. It's a tough start for the Bolts special teams, […]

Cordy Glenn Won't Play Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday against the Seahawks. Andre Smith will start at left tackle and protect quarterback Andy Dalton's blind side. It's a downgrade for an already shaky offensive line against a Seattle defense that recently upgraded their pass rush by trading for linebacker Jadeveon Clowney. […]

Stefon Diggs Questionable Against Falcons

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Falcons. However, Diggs was able to run routes in practice on Thursday and Friday, so there's a good chance he plays. We'll know Diggs' status Sunday morning. We'd be surprised if he sat out, so keep him in your […]

Andre Roberts Out, Tyler Kroft Doubtful

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Roberts (quadriceps) will not play in Week 1 against the Jets after injuring himself in practice on Monday. Roberts, a 2018 Pro Bowl returner, isn't fantasy relevant. Robert Foster, Cole Beasley, Devin Singletary, Isaiah McKenzie and Micah Hyde are options to replace Roberts on returns this Sunday. Tight end Tyler […]

Albert Wilson Questionable Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Ravens. Wilson was limited in practice all week, so we'd think he's on the right track to suit up in the regular season opener. The good news is that Wilson's fantasy owners will know early Sunday morning if he's […]

Antonio Brown Will Play Monday Night

Updating an ongoing story, Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will play on Monday night against the Broncos. Brown wasn't happy with being fined for missing practices and had an altercation with general manager Mike Mayock on Thursday, prompting the team to say they would be suspending the outspoken […]

Jordan Reed Trending Toward Game-Time Decision

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) is officially questionable for Sunday against the Eagles. He hasn't been cleared for full contact yet, and head coach Jay Gruden said they'll have a "good feeling" about Reed's availability on Saturday morning. The beat goes on for the injury-prone Reed. He could be one of quarterback Case […]

Nick Foles' Protection May Be Shoddy In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) didn't practice on Friday, and his backup, Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring) also hasn't been practicing. It's bad news for quarterback Nick Foles' blind-side protection as he gets set to make his debut for the team in Week 1 against the Chiefs at home. It's good news for KC's pass […]

Lavonte David, Vita Vea Good To Go For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) are both good to go for Sunday's regular season opener against the 49ers. One of the league's worst overall defenses in 2018, the Bucs will surely benefit from having both David and Vea on the field to start the season against San […]

Panthers Defense Won't Have Bruce Irvin In Week 1

Carolina Panthers linebacker Bruce Irvin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Rams. For a Panthers team that struggled to get to the opponent's quarterback in 2018, this isn't a good sign against a Rams team with a high-flying passing attack. Carolina's D/special teams could be good as a bye-week filler later […]

Keke Coutee Could Be Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien made it sound as though wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Monday night ahead of the Week 1 game against the Saints. "Touch and go, practiced yesterday. There's a possibility. He did some decent things. We'll have to see how it goes. It's a […]

Marquise Brown Will Play Sunday

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) will play on Sunday in Week 1 against the Dolphins despite sitting out of practice on Friday. Brown has been recovering from a foot injury all summer, but he'll be good to go to make his NFL debut for the regular […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Ready To Go

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) is ready to go for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday. Beckham admitted Thursday that he has yet to run full speed because of his hip injury, but he'll be out there in the regular season opener. Fantasy owners may […]

Antonio Brown Has A Chance To Play Monday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown may not be suspended now and has a real chance to play in Week 1 on Monday night against the Broncos. The two sides are trying to smooth things over after Brown got into an altercation with general manager Mike Mayock on Thursday. The roller coaster continues for Brown […]

Marquise Brown Sits Out Friday

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was the only player sitting out of practice on Friday. Brown was added to the injury report on Thursday but was a full participant in practice, so this downgrade isn't a good sign. The speedy deep threat will be a nice field-stretcher for quarterback Lamar Jackson in […]
