Jordan Reed Still In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol, but head coach Jay Gruden is hopeful that Reed will do some work in practice on Wednesday. Reed has a very extensive history of concussions in the NFL, so it'd be foolish to expect him to suit up in Week 1 on the road […]

DeSean Jackson Will Play Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (finger) will play in Week 1 on Sunday against the Redskins at home. Returning to the Eagles in 2019, D-Jax is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season in his final year in Tampa, although he still had a very productive 18.9 […]

Robby Anderson Practicing Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) is taking part in the early portion of practice on Wednesday. Anderson is on track to play in Week 1 at home against the Bills, barring a setback in practice this week. He'll likely be covered by Bills top cornerback Tre'Davious White, making Anderson more of a […]

Alvin Kamara Vital To The Passing Game

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara won't see a major increase in workload, and head coach Sean Payton said he likes Kamara's "pitch count" around 65 to 70 percent of the snaps. However, Kamara should remain heavily involved in the passing game, and ESPN's Mike Triplett thinks his 81 catches in 2017 and 2018 […]

Tyler Kroft Not Practicing Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) will not take part in practice on Wednesday. Kroft is unlikely to play in Week 1 against the Jets on the road and could also miss another week or two after that as he recovers from his injury. When healthy, he could […]

Cole Beasley To Be A Focal Point Of Offense

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley will be one of the main focal points of the offense this year. Despite the fact that he's averaged 3.1 catches per game in his time with the Cowboys, Beasley has plenty of sleeper appeal and has an outside chance of approaching the 100-catch mark if he stays healthy. […]

Ryan Succop Put On IR, Cairo Santos Signs

The Tennessee Titans placed kicker Ryan Succop (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed free agent Cairo Santos in a corresponding move, according to a source. Succop will have to sit out the first half of the season now, so he's obviously not a fantasy option. Santos made 14 of his 18 field-goal attempts […]

Kenyan Drake Tops On The Depth Chart

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is listed as the team's No. 1 running back on their unofficial depth chart ahead of Kalen Ballage. Drake finished the 2018 season with 120 carries for 535 yards and four touchdowns. He also had a career-high 53 receptions for 477 yards and five additional scores. Drake isn't all […]

Offense To Revolve Around Evan Engram

The New York Giants passing game, especially early in the season with Eli Manning at quarterback, will revolve around running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram. Engram was second among all tight ends with 320 receiving yards over the final four weeks of last season. The Giants are planning for a huge role […]

Ezekiel Elliott In For Decreased Workload In Week 1?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will practice with the team on Wednesday, but a source said that the plan is for Elliott to see 20 to 25 snaps in Week 1 against the Giants. Rookie Tony Pollard will be behind Elliott, with fullback Jamize Olawale as a third-down guy for pass-protection purposes. Elliott is […]

Keke Coutee Still Listed As Starter

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee is still listed as the starter in the slot on the unofficial depth chart after the team traded for Kenny Stills. Coutee has been battling an ankle injury and is on the right track to play in Week 1 against the Saints on Monday night, but it's no sure […]

Melvin Gordon Unlikely To Be Traded

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is unlikely to be traded before the start of the regular season. Gordon must now make the decision on whether to show up and play in Week 1 against the Colts or to continue his holdout and forfeit game checks. His fantasy stock has obviously fallen while being […]

Falcons, Julio Jones Close To Deal

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said that the team is "very, very close" to a deal with wide receiver Julio Jones. "I’d be surprised and disappointed if we didn’t get it done this week. ... I think it’s very reasonable to assume it will get done this week," Blank said. The 30-year-old wideout has five […]

Ezekiel Elliott In Shape To Play In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is "very close" to inking an extension with the Cowboys and his agent, Rocky Arceneaux, said that his client is in shape to play in Week 1 this Sunday against the Giants if there is a contract. Elliott has flown back from Cabo, Mexico, and is currently in Dallas, […]

Jared Goff Lands Four-Year Extension

The Los Angeles Rams signed quarterback Jared Goff to a four-year, $134 million extension on Tuesday that will include an NFL-record $110 million in guarantees, according to a source. Goff is now under contract with the team through the 2024 season. Some are still skeptical as to whether Goff is an elite signal-caller, but the […]

D.K. Metcalf On Right Track For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) practiced on Monday and looks to be on the right track to be ready for Week 1, barring a setback. It's good news for a Seattle team that will be without David Moore to open the season. Tyler Lockett and Jaron Brown should see more targets on […]

Jace Sternberger Placed On Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers placed rookie tight end Jace Sternberger (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Sternberger will miss at least half of the season and is currently in a walking boot. He's merely a stash in deeper dynasty formats in 2019. The veteran Jimmy Graham will remain Green Bay's top […]

Frank Ragnow Should Be Ready For Week 1

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (ankle) should be able to suit up for Week 1 against the Cardinals after practicing on Tuesday for the first time since getting injured in the preseason game on Aug. 23. With Ragnow at center, it'll allow Graham Glasgow to start in his usual right guard spot, with Taylor Decker […]

Trent Williams Could Return For Week 2

According to a source, Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams could return as soon as Week 2. Williams has been disgruntled with the team's medical staff and their handling of his injuries, but it appears he's not ready to miss too many game checks in the 2019 regular season. Williams would surely like to be […]

Jimmy Graham Puts In Full Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (finger) was upgraded to a full practice on Tuesday. Graham should be fine to start in the regular season opener against the Bears on Thursday night. The long-time Saint could easily bounce back in the touchdown department in this new offense, but fantasy owners are better off deploying […]

Giovani Bernard Signs Two-Year Deal

The Cincinnati Bengals signed running back Giovani Bernard to a two-year, $10.3 million extension on Tuesday, according to a source. He'll make $5.9 million in 2019 and $11 million over two seasons, including a $600,000 bonus due in March. Bernard is still only 27 years old, but it feels like he's been around for much […]

Darius Slayton Still Not Practicing

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) remains out of practice on Tuesday. Slayton has been injured for most of training camp and is unlikely to be active in Week 1 against the Cowboys. He'll also be behind the eight ball in terms of his development early in his rookie year, so don't […]

La'el Collins Lands Five-Year Extension

The Dallas Cowboys signed right tackle La'el Collins to a five-year extension worth $50 million on Tuesday, according to sources. Dallas' offensive line is one of the better units in the leagues, and Collins is a big reason for that. His presence on the right side in a Cowboys uniform through the 2024 season is […]

Tyler O'Neill Activated Friday

The St. Louis Cardinals activated outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and placed outfielder Lane Thomas (wrist) on the injured list with a right wrist fracture in a corresponding move. O'Neill will return to a .279/.316/.434 slash line with five home runs and 16 RBI in just 129 at-bats this […]

Miguel Cabrera Remains Out Friday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday. Cabrera hasn't played since getting injured on Tuesday, but he remains day-to-day and could return at some point this weekend. Ronny Rodriguez is serving as the DH and is batting cleanup against Twins starter Kyle Gibson. Rodriguez is hitting a […]

Rodney Hudson Becomes Highest-Paid Center

The Oakland Raiders signed center Rodney Hudson to a three-year, $33.75 million contract extension on Friday that will make him the league's highest-paid center, according to a source. The deal includes $24.4 million in guarantees. The 30-year-old pivot will make life much easier for both quarterback Derek Carr and rookie running back Josh Jacobs in […]

Raiders Releasing Luke Willson

The Oakland Raiders are releasing tight end Luke Willson on Friday, according to a source. It means that Darren Waller, rookie Foster Moreau and Derek Carrier will be the team's three tight ends heading into the regular season. In his only season with Detroit in 2018, Willson caught just 13 passes for 87 yards and […]

Texans Want Laremy Tunsil From Dolphins

The Houston Texans are offering Pro Bowl edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney in a proposed trade for Miami Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil, but the Dolphins are asking for more, according to two league sources. The Dolphins have asked the Texans for another high draft pick in addition to Clowney and a first-round pick. Clowney continues […]

Jalen Hurd Unlikely To Play In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receiver Jalen Hurd's (back) injury is more serious than initially feared. The Niners don't think Hurd's injury puts him in danger of landing on Injured Reserve, but Shanahan said it's "not looking as good" for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. With Hurd unlikely to suit […]

Preston Williams Has Made The Team

Miami Dolphins undrafted rookie wide receiver Preston Williams didn't play in the final preseason game on Thursday because he's made the final roster. Williams has good size and showed in training camp that he can make splashy plays, but he's inconsistent and has also shown troubles with drops. As it stands now, Albert Wilson, Kenny […]
