Colts Visit With Fitzgerald Toussaint

The Indianapolis Colts hosted free-agent running back Fitzgerald Toussaint for a visit on Sunday, according to a source. Marlon Mack is highly questionable for Week 1 for the Colts, so Indy will kick the tires for running back depth. With Robert Turbin suspended to start the season, Jordan Wilkins and Christine Michael could share the […]

Robert Griffin III To Start As Joe Flacco's Backup

The Baltimore Ravens plan is to have quarterback Robert Griffin III as the No. 2 behind Joe Flacco to enter the regular season. That means that rookie Lamar Jackson will get to sit and learn as the No. 3 QB. Jackson flashed his playmaking ability in the preseason and in training camp, but he still […]

Bears Expect Khalil Mack To Play In Week 1

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy is hoping that newly-acquired defensive end Khalil Mack will be ready to play in Week 1 on Sunday night against the division-rival Packers. Mack was traded by the Raiders and makes Chicago's defense a scary sleeper pick in fantasy leagues. He has proven to be one of the league's […]

Adam Shaheen To Be Put On IR

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace said tight end Adam Shaheen (ankle, foot) will be put on Injured Reserve. Shaheen had a promising end to his rookie season, but he won't be able to return until after Week 8 this year. You can leave him on the waiver wire. Trey Burton should be the team's […]

Sony Michel Takes Part In Practice Sunday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) took part in positional drills on Sunday. While Michel could still be inactive for Week 1 of the regular season, it's a good sign that he's back at practice. Michel might have the most upside of anyone in New England's backfield, but he's currently behind Rex […]

Mike Gesicki Ready For Starter's Role

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said on Sunday that rookie tight end Mike Gesicki is ready for a starter's role on offense. Gesicki should have a huge role in his rookie season, especially with receiver DeVante Adams injured. The long-term upside is huge, but Gesicki could also be very touchdown-dependent in 2018. Consider him […]

Carson Wentz Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has yet to be cleared for contact. While not official yet, Wentz is fully expected to be ruled out for the season opener on Thursday against the Falcons. He could also miss Week 2. Wentz's stock as a QB1 has fallen due to his slow rehab from knee surgery, […]

Jay Ajayi To Be Ready For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said running back Jay Ajayi will practice this week and will be ready for the season opener against the Falcons on Thursday. Ajayi should be good to go but may be eased into Week 1. Still, he should be used as an RB2 in the season opener in all […]

Tanner Gentry Joining Practice Squad

Chicago Bears wide receiver Tanner Gentry is joining the practice squad after he didn't make the 53-man roster. In four games with the Bears in his rookie season, Gentry had only three receptions for 35 yards. He can obviously be ignored by fantasy owners.

Roc Thomas To Open Season As Fourth RB

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Roc Thomas has made the team's final 53-man roster as the fourth running back on the depth chart. He'll be behind Dalvin Cook, Latavius Murray and fellow rookie Michael Boone. Thomas will be fighting for scraps and special teams work, so he's not an option in redraft leagues unless injuries […]

Brandon Marshall Makes Final Roster

Seattle Seahawks veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall made the team's final 53-man roster. Marshall is a shell of his former self but has opportunity to carve out a role behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett. Marshall is, at best, a late-round flier with hopes that he becomes a red-zone target for quarterback Brandon Marshall. There […]

Elijhaa Penny Among Final Cuts

Arizona Cardinals running back Elijhaa Penny was among the team's final roster cuts on Saturday. Behind bell-cow back David Johnson, the Cardinals will go with rookie Chase Edmunds and TJ Logan. Penny is a candidate to join the practice squad.

Ed Dickson Put On NFI, Austin Davis To IR

The Seattle Seahawks placed tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) on the reserve/Non-Football Injury list on Saturday and also placed quarterback Austin Davis on Injured Reserve, according to a source. Dickson will now miss the first six games of the season. Nick Vannett will be the main pass-catching tight end but will share time with rookie […]

Bills Waive Nick O'Leary

The Buffalo Bills waived tight end Nick O'Leary on Saturday. The team will go with Charles Clay, Jason Croom, Logan Thomas and Khari Lee at the position. O'Leary was the top backup to Clay last year and had a career-high 22 catches.

Jermaine Gresham Activated From PUP List

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. Gresham can now return to practice and is expected to be back within six games. It's unlikely that Gresham will be ready for the season opener, and Ricky Seals-Jones is the tight end to target anyway in […]

Patriots Cut Brandon Bolden, Riley McCarron

The New England Patriots cut running back Brandon Bolden, wide receiver Riley McCarron and tight end Will Tye on Saturday. McCarron is a surprising cut because of his youth, but he wasn't able to win a spot and help out with depth with Julian Edelman suspended the first four games. Both McCarron and Bolden could […]

Jake Kumerow Makes 53-Man Roster

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow made the team's final 53-man roster. Kumerow stood out in training camp and the preseason, but he missed the final couple of games with an injury. He'll be battling for a role behind Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison and Trevor Davis with rookies J'mon Moore, Equanimeous St. […]

Rico Gathers Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers, who made the 53-man roster, was arrested for marijuana possession on Friday in Frisco, Texas. He has posted bond and will be released from jail. It's unclear if Gathers will be facing a suspension from the league. Either way, he's at best third on the depth chart behind Blake […]

Alfred Morris Could Be Starter In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris could be the starter in Week 1 against the Vikings with Jerick McKinnon (knee) out for the year. Matt Breida will most likely be the backup to Morris, with special teams ace Raheem Mostert available in emergency situations. Morris and Breida should both be owned in all fantasy […]

Terence Newman Announces Retirement

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Terence Newman announced his retirement on Saturday. He was set to enter his 16th professional season, but instead he will join the team's coaching staff immediately. Newman spent nine of his 15 seasons playing for head coach Mike Zimmer. The soon-to-be 40-year-old entered the league in 2003 as the fifth overall pick […]

Cowboys Cut Dan Bailey

The Dallas Cowboys cut place kicker Dan Bailey on Saturday. It's a pretty big surprise after Bailey made 15 of his 20 field goal attempts in 12 games for the Cowboys last season. He had also made three of five of his attempts beyond 50 yards, including a long of 56 yards. With Bailey now […]

Jeremy McNichols Doesn't Make Final Roster

The San Francisco 49ers released running back Jeremy McNichols when rosters were cut down to 53 players on Saturday. McNichols was facing an uphill battle to make the final roster after the team signed veteran Alfred Morris. Morris and Matt Breida will share a heavy workload with Jerick McKinnon (knee) done for the year, while […]

Colts Acquire Marcus Johnson

The Indianapolis Colts acquired wide receiver Marcus Johnson from the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday in exchange for tight end Darrell Daniels, according to a source. Johnson will give the Colts depth behind Ryan Grant, Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal, but he's not fantasy relevant. Daniels will help the Seahawks get by with Ed Dickson still […]

Matt Breida Medically Cleared

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder) has been medically cleared and is "good to go," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. With Jerick McKinnon (knee) done for the year, Breida's role has increased considerably over the weekend, although he's expected to share the lead role with veteran Alfred Morris. Hopefully those that drafted […]

Carson Wentz Not Expected To Start In Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles plan is to start quarterback Nick Foles in the season opener on Thursday against the Falcons over Carson Wentz (knee), according to sources. Wentz's rehab has been a successful process, but the Eagles are taking the cautious approach. Wentz could possibly sit out another week, too, which makes his draft stock entering […]

Seahawks Not Expected To Trade Earl Thomas

The Seattle Seahawks are not expected to trade safety Earl Thomas unless another team steps up in a way no team has to date, according to a source. The Seahawks will not give Thomas away but don't want to give him a contract extension. It remains to be seen if Thomas will hold out into […]

Cowboys Cut Bo Scarbrough

The Dallas Cowboys cut running back Bo Scarbrough on Saturday, according to a source. Dallas will go with Rod Smith and fullback Jamize Olawale behind Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield. Scarbrough is a candidate to join the team's practice squad.

Jack Conklin Activated From PUP

The Tennessee Titans activated offensive tackle Jack Conklin (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. Conklin should be ready before Week 9. He has yet to practice all summer but is one of the better offensive lineman when he's on the field.

Jets Cut Clive Walford

The New York Jets cut tight end Clive Walford after attempting to trade him and finding no takers, according to sources. The Jets are going with Eric Tomlinson, Jordan Leggett, Neal Sterling and rookie Chris Herndon IV at the position. Nobody from this group is fantasy relevant.

Thomas Rawls Doesn't Make Final Roster

The New York Jets cut running back Thomas Rawls on Saturday, according to a source. The move was expected, as Rawls was hurt most of the summer. Gang Greene will go with Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, rookie Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire in their backfield to kick off the regular season.
