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 […]

Mike Evans Out With Illness Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (illness) missed practice on Friday due to an illness. Evans is expected to recover in 24 hours and be fine for Week 1 on Sunday against the 49ers. As the No. 1 wideout in an offense that could be better than ever under head coach Bruce Arians, Evans […]

Tyreek Hill Agrees To Three-Year Extension

The Kansas City Chiefs and wide receiver Tyreek Hill agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract extension on Friday that puts him among the highest paid at the receiver position, according to sources. The 25-year-old is one of the fastest and most dangerous wideouts in the NFL in an explosive offense. He's had back-to-back 1,000-yard […]

Jimmie Ward Undergoes Surgery

San Francisco 49ers safety Jimmie Ward (finger) underwent surgery on his broken finger on Thursday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. It's unknown if they'll put a cast on his hand so that he can play on Sunday against the Buccaneers. It's a downgrade for San Francisco's secondary against a Buccaneers team that likes to […]

Alshon Jeffery Fine For Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (biceps) will be fine to play on Sunday in Week 1 against the Redskins. Jeffery got bumped in practice on Wednesday and was receiving treatment on Thursday during practice. Jeffery has had his share of injuries in his career, but this one shouldn't slow him down in an excellent […]

Julio Jones Plans To Play Sunday

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said he plans to play in the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the Vikings. Jones and the Falcons are close to reaching an agreement on a contract extension, but Jones said all he's concerned about right now is "being ready to go" this […]

Dak Prescott's Extension A Priority For Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have made it a priority to reach a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott now that they have locked up offensive lineman La'el Collins and running back Ezekiel Elliott this week. Prescott doesn't want to focus on a deal during the season. "We’re trying to put the best team around him, we […]

Raiders Not Planning To Have Antonio Brown For Week 1

The Oakland Raiders are not planning to have wide receiver Antonio Brown for Week 1 against the Broncos on Monday night, according to sources. However, it's not clear if it's a suspension or if the Raiders will just make him inactive. Brown is likely to stay away from the team. This situation has gone from […]

Marqise Lee Looking Good In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) has performed well in practices in the last week. Lee was a full participant in practice on Thursday and should be good to go for Week 1 on Sunday against the Chiefs at home. Lee is listed as a starter on the […]

49ers Defense May Be Without Jimmie Ward

San Francisco 49ers safety Jimmie Ward (finger) suffered a fractured finger in practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 1 against the Buccaneers is now in question. The former first-rounder continues to be injury-prone after breaking his forearm the last two years. He also fractured his foot and shoulder earlier in his career. With […]

Cowboys Not Negotiating With Amari Cooper

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said "there hasn't been a lot of negotiations" toward a contract extension for wide receiver Amari Cooper. DallasCowboys.com's David Helman speculates that Cooper isn't in a rush to reach an extension with Falcons wideout Julio Jones about to change the market in the near future. Cooper's move from […]

D.K. Metcalf Says He's 100 Percent

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) said he's 100 percent and is ready for all the repetitions that the team wants to give him on Sunday in Week 1 against the Bengals. Metcalf recovered quickly from his knee scope and should be able to suit up in his first NFL game. Even with […]

Alshon Jeffery On Week 1 Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (biceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like Jeffery's injury is very serious and he should play in Week 1 on Sunday against the Redskins, but it's something worth watching. In a potent offense as the team's top wideout, Jeffery should have a fine […]
