Marquise Brown (WR, BAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Very few expected much from Marquise Brown in his regular season NFL debut in a run-first offense, especially since he had missed some practices and preseason games while recovering from a Lisfranc foot injury. Not only did he look fully healthy, but Brown […]

Greg Olsen On Week 2 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is listed on the Week 2 injury report with a back injury. The Panthers didn't practice on Monday, but it's estimated that Olsen wouldn't have suited up. The veteran tight end should be fine for Thursday night against the Buccaneers, barring a setback. He was third on the […]

Tevin Coleman Has High Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Tevin Coleman (ankle) has a high ankle sprain. Coleman isn't expected to play this week, and the team will take it week-to-week with him. The San Jose Mercury News' Cam Inman doesn't think Injured Reserve is a possibility. Coleman could be out for as […]

Keke Coutee Inactive On Monday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) is inactive for Monday night against the Saints in Week 1. Coutee struggled to stay healthy in his rookie year, and he's starting off on the wrong foot in his sophomore campaign. He showed his upside in the slot for fantasy owners in 2018, but he remains a […]

Derrius Guice Dealing With Meniscus Injury

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) is dealing with a meniscus injury and is hoping it's a sprain and that he'll miss just a few weeks, according to a source. We'll know more on a timetable for his return once the results of his tests are known. Veteran Adrian Peterson was a healthy scratch […]

Devin Funchess Has Surgery, Will Go On IR

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich confirmed that wide receiver Devin Funchess (collarbone) had surgery to fix his broken collarbone and will go on Injured Reserve. Funchess broke his collarbone in the Week 1 overtime loss to the Chargers, but he could return later this season. T.Y. Hilton is quarterback Jacoby Brissett's clear No. 1 […]

Michael Crabtree Expected To Be Active In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury expects wide receiver Michael Crabtree to play in Week 2 against the Ravens. Arizona recently signed the veteran wideout, but he was a healthy scratch in the season opener while he continued to learn the playbook. If active, Crabtree figures to be fourth on the receiver depth chart, at […]

Patriots Release Lance Kendricks

The New England Patriots waived tight end Lance Kendricks on Monday, according to a source. Kendricks was suspended for Week 1 but will now look for work elsewhere. He caught 19 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown over a full season with Green Bay in 2018. Even if Kendricks resurfaces elsewhere, he's unlikely to […]

C.J. Mosley, Quinnen Williams Unlikely To Practice Wednesday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (ankle) are unlikely to practice on Wednesday. Williams was seen at the team's facility in a walking boot, while Mosley will undergo an MRI exam on Monday. Mosley is one of the best all-around linebackers in […]

Ravens Defense Loses Jimmy Smith For Multiple Weeks

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith (knee) has a Grade 2 MCL sprain and will miss "multiple weeks." There's a possibility that Smith will go on the Injured Reserve with a designation to return later this year. Smith's injury is a hit to a strong Ravens Defense, but they […]

Sterling Shepard May Have Concussion

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (head) "may be dealing with a concussion." The team will likely put him through the concussion protocol this week, and we won't have an idea of whether he'll suit up in Week 2 against the Bills until his practice status is released […]

Steelers Defense May Be Without Joe Haden In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in the Week 1 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night, according to a source. The Patriots walked all over Pittsburgh's defense in the regular season opener, and losing Haden in the secondary would be even more bad news heading into the Week 2 […]

Chris Lindstrom Out Eight Weeks

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons rookie right guard Chris Lindstrom (foot) is expected to be in a boot for around eight weeks after he broke a small bone in his foot in Week 1 against the Vikings, according to a source. He'll likely head to Injured Reserve but could return later this year. Losing […]

Seahawks Defense Not Counting On Ziggy Ansah For Week 2

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said they are taking it day-to-day with defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin, shoulder), but the team isn't exactly counting on Ansah to suit up in Week 2 against the Steelers. The Seahawks aren't rushing the injury-prone pass-rusher back, although his presence on the defensive line would be an added […]

Chris Lindstrom May Have Broken Foot

The Atlanta Falcons fear that rookie right guard Chris Lindstrom (foot) suffered a broken foot in the Week 1 loss to the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lindstrom left the stadium in a walking boot and will undergo more tests on Monday. The 14th overall pick was expected to be a starter all […]

Greg Robinson Unlikely To Be Suspended

Cleveland Browns left tackle Greg Robinson, who was ejected in Week 1 for kicking Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro in the head, is facing a fine but is unlikely to be suspended, according to a source. Without Robinson in the game, Cleveland's pass protection struggled mightily and quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked five times, including one […]

T.J. Watt, Maurkice Pouncey Injured Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (hip) and center Maurkice Pouncey (ankle) both left the game in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night and did not return. Watt had two tackles but also hit Tom Brady three times. Pouncey seemed OK after the game and expects to play […]

Devin White Dealing With Tonsilitis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (illness) has been dealing with tonsilitis and not the flu bug, according to head coach Bruce Arians. White played through the illness in his NFL debut against the 49ers in Week 1 and finished with five solo tackles. White is an incredibly talented linebacker and should make noise […]

Jaguars Trade For Joshua Dobbs

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring quarterback Joshua Dobbs from the Steelers on Monday in exchange for a 2020 fifth-round pick, according to sources. Dobbs will back up Gardner Minshew with Nick Foles (collarbone) on Injured Reserve for half the season. The 24-year-old attempted only 12 passes for 43 yards and one interception in five games […]

Jags Comfortable With Gardner Minshew As Starter

The Jacksonville Jaguars feel comfortable using quarterback Gardner Minshew as their starter under center with Nick Foles (collarbone) on Injured Reserve. The Jaguars traded for Joshua Dobbs on Monday, but he's expected to backup Minshew until Foles is ready to return. Minshew looked good in relief of Foles in Week 1 against the Chiefs, going […]

Dak Prescott Extension Is Imminent

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on Sunday that he expects to have a deal with quarterback Dak Prescott in a matter of "days." "It would probably be fair to say it’ll be done on a imminent basis. Imminent. Without being real clear, bright lined. It’s not done. What’s imminent? Well, days. Days. Or something […]

Tevin Coleman Expected To Miss Time

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Week 1 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, is expected to miss time, according to a source. Coleman is undergoing additional tests on Monday. Jeffery Wilson could be promoted from the practice squad to give the Niners some additional backfield depth […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injures Toe In Loss To Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) got rolled up on late in the blowout Week 1 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night, but expects to be ready to go in Week 2 at home against the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster caught six of his eight targets for 78 scoreless yards in the season opener. He […]

49ers Worried About Tevin Coleman

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he's concerned with running back Tevin Coleman's (ankle) injury that he suffered in the Week 1 victory over the Buccaneers. It sounds as if Coleman might struggle to be ready for Week 2, so you'll need to have other options ready. He ran six times for […]

Demaryius Thomas Inactive Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is inactive for Week 1 on Sunday night against the Steelers. Thomas is fourth on the receiver depth chart as things stand right now, but he's about to be fifth once Antonio Brown shows up after being signed on Saturday. Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Phillip Dorsett […]

Will Dissly Injured Against Bengals

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (knee) suffered a right knee injury late in the Week 1 game against the Bengals and was listed as doubtful to return. Dissly caught one of his two targets for 12 yards in the game before leaving. In an offense that runs the ball a lot and doesn't involve […]

Patrick Mahomes Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 1 blowout win over the Jaguars, according to head coach Andy Reid. Mahomes looked to be limping at one point in the game, but he stayed in the game, so it doesn't seem like this is a significant injury. The electric […]

Baker Mayfield Has A Bruised Wrist

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (wrist) suffered a bruised wrist in the Week 1 loss to the Titans and underwent X-rays at the stadium before having his right wrist taped. However, it's just a bruise and he said he'll be "alright" heading into Week 2 against the Jets. Mayfield went 25-for-38 for 285 yards, a […]

Mike Williams Suffers Knee Injury Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) suffered a knee injury late in the second half in Week 1 against the Colts and is questionable to return. Williams caught two of just three targets in the game for 29 yards, so he didn't make his fantasy owners very happy in the season opener. Williams […]

Jimmy Smith's Injury Isn't Season-Ending

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that cornerback Jimmy Smith's (knee) right knee injury isn't season-ending. "It does not look like that at all. I’m sure he’ll get an MRI tomorrow. We’ll just see if it’s days, or weeks or what. We’ll know tomorrow after we get the MRI," Harbaugh said. Smith might not […]
