Ezekiel Ansah, Darius Slay Active Against Vikes

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and top cornerback Darius Slay (knee) are both active for Week 9 against the Vikings. It will be Ansah's first game since being injured in the season opener and it's a big boost for their pass rush, although Ansah is a risky IDP play in his first game […]

Alex Collins Active For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) is active for Week 9 against the Steelers. As a result, newly-acquired running back Ty Montgomery is a healthy scratch, as well as tight end Maxx Williams. The Ravens will roll with Collins and Javorius Allen once again. Collins is the clear workhorse but is a touchdown-dependent RB2 […]

Kenny Stills Active, A.J. Derby Out

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) is active against the Jets in Week 9, while tight end A.J. Derby (foot) will miss another game. Stills was a game-time decision but will give it a go on Sunday. His return after a one-game absence is bad news for Devante Parker and Danny Amendola, but Stills […]

Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson Playing Against Dolphins

New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Robby Anderson (ankle) are both active for Week 9 against the Dolphins. It's a huge boost to New York's passing game and quarterback Sam Darnold, although Darnold remains more of a QB2 for fantasy owners. Both Enunwa and Anderson will be risky fantasy plays this weekend […]

Antonio Callaway, Rashard Higgins Active Against Chiefs

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Antonio Callaway (ankle) and Rashard Higgins (knee) are both active for Week 9 against the Chiefs. It's good news for rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield as they go for the big upset. Callaway has plenty of upside but has been way too inefficient for fantasy owners to trust as anything more than […]

Justin Houston Remains Out In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) is once again inactive in Week 9 against the Browns. Houston is getting close to a return, but he won't make it back this Sunday. They probably won't need him against the Browns with the way Dee Ford has been playing of late. KC's defense might be worth […]

Gerald McCoy, Vinny Curry Active Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (calf) and defensive end Vinny Curry (ankle) are both active for Week 9 against the Panthers. Tampa's defense is still unplayable for fantasy purposes, but the presence of McCoy and Curry on the defensive line at least boosts their presence up front. It's a slight downgrade for Panthers […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Out Against Bills

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both out for Week 9 against the Bills. It'll be their second straight missed game. Wide receiver Kevin White is also a healthy scratch. With A-Rob out again, it'll mean more targets for Taylor Gabriel and rookie Anthony Miller, as well […]

A.J. Green Expected To Miss Some Games

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (toe), who is currently in a walking boot, is expected to miss "some games," according to a source. He is scheduled to meet with Dr. Robert Anderson this week to diagnose his foot injury and they will figure out if surgery is needed. The Bengals are on their bye […]

Demaryius Thomas To Start In Debut

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is expected to start alongside DeAndre Hopkins in his team debut in Week 9 against his former team, the Denver Broncos. Hopkins has helped Thomas get up to speed quickly on the team's playbook. It doesn't sound like Thomas will have his snaps limited at all as he attempts […]

Stefon Diggs A Long Shot For Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) is a long shot to play in Week 9 against the Lions, according to sources. Diggs was hurt late in the Week 8 game but said this week that he would play against Detroit. That is now unlikely to happen. Anyone that was planning on using Diggs needs […]

Jets Optimistic On Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson

The New York Jets are optimistic that wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Robby Anderson (ankle), who are both questionable for Week 9 against the Dolphins, will play on Sunday, according to a source. Both players will be tested in pre-game workouts and are game-time decisions. It'd be a big upgrade for rookie quarterback Sam […]

Chris Carson To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Chargers, will be tested before the game to determine if he can play, according to a source. Carson missed a game earlier this year, so his owners certainly need to have a backup plan handy in case he's inactive. If […]

Melvin Gordon Will Play Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Seahawks, will play on Sunday, according to a source. Gordon missed the Week 7 game but had Week 8 to heal up during the team's bye, so he'll be good to go this weekend. Gordon is the biggest part […]

Khalil Mack Unlikely To Face Bills

Chicago Bears defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Bills, is unlikely to play, according to a source. However, the Bears would like to test Mack during pre-game workouts to make a final determination. Mack didn't play last week either and has been slowed by his ankle sprain. The […]

Keke Coutee, Aaron Colvin Ruled Out

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Broncos. Coutee was expected to be a game-time decision, but the Texans want to play it cautious and hold him out for the second straight game ahead of their Week 10 bye. Running […]

D'Onta Foreman Likely To Return Soon

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said the team will "more than likely" start the 21-day window to activate running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) from the Physically Unable to Perform list after the bye in Week 10. That means that Foreman should start practicing next week and could return to the roster in Week 11. […]

Royce Freeman Not Expected To Play

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Texans, is not expected to play, according to a source. Freeman has always been on the wrong side of questionable after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 7. He'll have the bye week to heal up in Week […]

Kyle Long Placed On IR

The Chicago Bears placed offensive guard Kyle Long (foot) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. It'll likely end Long's season. Long was injured in the Week 8 win over the Jets. His loss will be felt in pass protection and in the running game moving forward. Bryan Witzmann is expected to replace Long in the starting […]

Cardinals Release Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals released quarterback Sam Bradford on Saturday. Bradford played in just three games for Arizona this year before being benched for rookie Josh Rosen, going 50-for-80 for 400 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. The veteran QB is also an injury risk and may have trouble latching on as a backup with another […]

Derek Anderson, Tremaine Edmunds Ruled Out

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) and rookie linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (concussion) have both officially been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bears. Anderson didn't practice all week and was never expected to play after suffering a concussion late in the Monday night loss. Nathan Peterman, who loves to throw pick-sixes, will get the […]

Geoff Swaim Doubtful For Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 9 against the Titans on Monday night. Swaim has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain and may not make it back for Week 10 either. In his absence, the Cowboys will likely rotate Blake Jarwin, Rico Gathers […]

Alex Collins Expected To Play Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Steelers, is expected to play on Sunday. Collins practiced this week and has been expected to play. However, he's a touchdown-dependent RB2 who could lose more touches to recently-acquired Ty Montgomery along with Javorius Allen. The Ravens are […]

Terrelle Pryor Could See Big Role In Debut

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has learned the offense quickly and could have an Andre Holmes-type role in the offense in Week 9 against the Bears in his debut with the team. Holmes has played right around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each game this year, and Pryor adds some good route-running […]

Browns Tailoring Offense To Baker Mayfield's Strengths

New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens is expected to implement more components of rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield's spread offense in college, according to interim head coach Gregg Williams. Allowing Mayfield to run more plays that made him successful in college is a start, but it might still be difficult with too much inexperience and […]

C.J. Cron Likely To Be Traded

It seems likely that the Tampa Bay Rays will trade first baseman C.J. Cron this winter, as they want more of a feared hitter with more defensive versatility. Cron split time between first base and designated hitter and managed 30 home runs in 2018. He's also projected to make $5.2 million next year through salary […]

Trent Williams Expected To Miss A Month

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) is expected to miss "about a month" after having surgery on his thumb, according to a source. Williams dislocated his thumb in Week 8 and will now be sidelined for a while. Ty Nsekhe will take over at left tackle for however long Williams is out. It's certainly […]

David Irving Suffers High Ankle Sprain

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle David Irving (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Titans on Monday, and he could be out four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain. Irving also missed the first four games of the season on suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He has just three […]

Nick Mullens Likely To Start In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will most likely start in Week 10 on Monday night against the Giants, but it's not yet official. “The players have four days off,” head coach Kyle Shanahan explained Friday. “I don’t need to decide right now in front of you guys. I would like to do it in […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Capsule Injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is dealing with a capsule injury in his right shoulder. He has been doing some throwing but remains out in Week 9 and could miss another couple of games. There remains no timetable for Tannehill's return, but the Dolphins believe he will play again this season. Tannehill was a […]
