Ryan Tannehill Unlikely To Return In Week 9

It seems overly optimistic that Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will be able to return in Week 9 against the Jets, meaning Brock Osweiler could be in line to make another start. There is no real timetable for Tannehill's return, and he can remain on the waiver in most leagues. Osweiler blew up in […]

Bruce Irvin, Karl Joseph Could Be Traded

Oakland Raiders linebacker Bruce Irvin and safety Karl Joseph are both candidates to be traded ahead of the Oct. 30 deadline, according to sources. Irvin is a coveted pass rusher, but his $8 million base salary this year and $9 million salary for 2019 has turned teams off so far. Joseph is expendable for Oakland […]

Raiders Sticking With Derek Carr

The Oakland Raiders are saying that quarterback Derek Carr is their quarterback now and for the foreseeable future, according to sources. With Carr's poor play this year and his questionable leadership within his own locker room, there has been speculation that the Raiders might be looking to trade him. Head coach Jon Gruden continues to […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon has drawn trade interest from multiple teams with the deadline approaching on Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to sources.

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (knee) will have surgery on his torn ACL this week and is expected to be out six to nine months, according to a source.

Bills Unlikely To Trade LeSean McCoy Before Deadline

The Buffalo Bills are unlikely to trade running back LeSean McCoy before the trade deadline on Tuesday, Oct. 30, unless another team proposes an offer they can't refuse, according to league sources. Buffalo still thinks McCoy is one of their best players and are unwilling to give him away unless they receive something in their […]

The team sees both Fournette and Carlos Hyde getting work […]

Maxx Williams Inactive Against Panthers

Baltimore Ravens tight end Maxx Williams is a healthy inactive for Week 8 against the Panthers. Quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are also healthy scratches. With rookie Hayden Hurst likely to see a bigger role in the passing game moving forward, the Ravens just don't have room for four tight ends […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Not Playing Against Jets

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both inactive for Week 8 against the Jets. These are big losses on both sides of the ball for the Bears, as Robinson is the team's No. 1 wideout and Mack is the best pass rusher on the squad. Robinson's absence […]

Robby Anderson, Trumaine Johnson Out

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Anderson's absence, along with Quincy Enunwa (ankle) being out, is good news for Jermaine Kearse, although he put up a dud last week with Enunwa out. Andre Roberts and recently-signed Rishard […]

Ezekiel Ansah Inactive Against Seahawks

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) is inactive for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Wide receiver T.J. Jones is also a healthy scratch. Ansah, the team's best pass rusher, hasn't played since suffering his injury in the season opener. He's mostly been a disappointment in his career because of his inability to stay on […]

Ed Dickson Active For Week 8

The Seattle Seahawks activated tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) from the Non-Football Injury list on Saturday, and he's active for the first time this year for Week 8 against the Lions. He should immediately step into the team's pass-catching role at tight end and could see significant snaps right away. Dickson is in play as […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Active

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both active for Week 8 against the Giants. Thompson will return to his pass-catching role in the backfield and will be in play as an RB3/flex in PPR leagues. His return will hurt the overall ceiling for Adrian Peterson […]

James Washington A Healthy Scratch For Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver James Washington is a healthy inactive for Week 8 against the Browns. Quarterback Mason Rudolph is also a healthy scratch. Washington has caught only five of his 14 targets this year for 49 yards and a touchdown, so he's not fantasy relevant in redraft leagues. However, he's a worthy dynasty/keeper […]

Under-The-Radar Fantasy Football Stashes

Week 7 was the first week this NFL season that featured four teams on bye (Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Seahawks). Week 8 follows suit with the Falcons, Cowboys, Titans, and Chargers taking the week off. Week 9 gets even dicier with six teams out (Bengals, Colts, Giants, Eagles, Cardinals, and Jaguars). Week 10 will see another […]

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Monday night against the Bills.

Sony Michel Doubtful Against Bills

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) got in a limited practice on Saturday but is doubtful to face the Bills on Monday night in Week 8. Michel's injury isn't considered serious and he could even be back in Week 9, but he won't play this Monday. Make sure you've made plans to […]

De'Angelo Henderson Added To Active Roster

The New York Jets signed running back De'Angelo Henderson from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday with Bilal Powell (neck) out for the rest of the season. Cornerback Juston Burris was released in a corresponding move. Henderson was a sixth-round pick of the Broncos last year and had just seven carries for […]

Zach Pascal Questionable To Face Raiders

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal (head) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 8 against the Raiders. Pascal was added to the injury report on Friday, but it seems he has a good chance to suit up. Even if Pascal does play, he'll be at best third on the receiver […]

Jeremy Maclin Won't Play In 2018

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is undergoing surgery on his hamstring/gluteus that has kept him from working out for interested teams and he won't play at all this season.

Anthony Barr, Andrew Sendejo Ruled Out Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) and strong safety Andrew Sendejo (groin) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Saints. Defensive tackle Linval Joseph (ankle, knee) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) are both questionable, leaving the Minnesota defense very banged up heading into a matchup against one of the more potent offenses […]

Chris Ivory On Track To Play Monday

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) is on track to play on Monday night against the Patriots despite injuring his hamstring in practice on Wednesday. Ivory was a waiver pickup this week with LeSean McCoy suffering a concussion in Week 7. McCoy seems to be on track to be cleared, but that might not […]

LeSean McCoy Remains In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, and head coach Sean McDermott says the team will continue to "take it one day at a time" with him. McCoy has been limited in practice this week, so it looks likely that he'll be cleared by Monday, but he's also likely […]

Sony Michel Returns To Practice Saturday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) returned to practice on Saturday after missing the last two days. Michel suffered a strained MCL in Week 7. It's not a long-term injury, but he's not expected to play on Monday night against the Bills, even if the team lists him as questionable to play. […]
