Bills May Split Defensive Play-Calling Duties

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott took over the defensive play calls in the second half of the Week 2 loss to the Chargers, but wouldn't say if the move would be permanent. McDermott said he and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier are "still working through that." Buffalo allowed only 65 total yards (three rushing yards) […]

Jay Ajayi Might Not Be Available In Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh indicated that there's a good chance that running back Jay Ajayi (back) won't be available in Week 3 against the Colts. The team added Josh Adams from the practice squad as a precaution on Tuesday. Ajayi was injured on his first carry of Week 2, but he came back […]

Antonio Brown Not Asking For Trade

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client is not formally asking for a trade after a Tweet was sent out on Monday from Brown's social media account. "The tweet yesterday was not in reference to anything other than Antonio responding to a person he knows. It was not directed towards […]

Aaron Judge Takes More Simulated At-Bats

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) took part in another simulated game -- his second in as many days -- on Tuesday against minor league pitcher Adonis Rosa. Judge hit an opposite-field home run with head athletic trainer Steve Donohue, bench coach Josh Bard, director of pro scouting Dan Giese, assistant general manager Michael […]

Seth DeValve Out Again Tuesday

Cleveland Browns tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. DeValve hasn't played at all this year and is buried on the depth chart when he's healthy, so he is well off the fantasy radar. David Njoku continues to serve as the main pass-catching tight end and has low-end […]

Browns Want To Get Duke Johnson More Work

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said the team needs to get running back Duke Johnson more opportunities moving forward. Johnson only has eight carries (20 yards, 2.5 yards per carry) and three catches for 15 yards in two games in 2018. Johnson is good out in space, but with both Carlos Hyde and rookie […]

Tim Tebow Expected To Return Next Year

New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow is expected to return for a third professional season in 2019, according to assistant general manager John Ricco. Tebow's season ended in late July when he broke the hamate bone in his right hand, which required surgery. The 31-year-old had hit .317/.348/.429 in June and July with Double-A Binghamton. […]

Jarvis Landry Limited Again Tuesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) was limited in practice again on Tuesday. There's no indication that Landry's knee injury will keep him out of Thursday's contest against the Jets, so the Browns are likely just resting him on a short week. Landry has a healthy 22 targets (12 catches, 175 yards) through two […]

Joe Haden Expected To Practice This Week

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) had a good week of rehab and is expected to practice this week, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The veteran Haden isn't an IDP force, but a return in Week 3 on Monday night against Tampa Bay would be a good sign for a secondary that has been […]

Brice Butler Returns To Dallas

Free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler Tweeted on Tuesday that he has signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Butler played the last three years with the Cowboys but was released by the Cardinals on Sept. 1. He could be a deep threat for quarterback Dak Prescott. Butler caught 15 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns in […]

Takkarist McKinley Dealing With Groin Injury

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) injured his groin late in the Week 2 win over the Panthers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. McKinley already has two sacks this year, so losing him for Week 3 against the Saints would be bad news for their pass rush and good news for Saints quarterback […]

Titans Re-Sign Nick Williams

The Tennessee Titans re-signed wide receiver Nick Williams on Tuesday. Receiver Cameron Batson and tight end Anthony Firkser were waived in corresponding moves. Williams is in his fifth NFL season and has 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 22 career games. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Tarik Cohen Is Fine

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen (ankle) was listed as questionable to return to the Week 2 game on Monday with an ankle injury late in the game, but head coach Matt Nagy said Cohen was dancing in the locker room after the game and is fine. Cohen was billed as a possible Tyreek Hill-like […]

Larry Fitzgerald Expected To Play In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expects that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will play in Week 3 against the Bears. “We all know that it’s going to be tough to keep Larry off the field," Wilks said. The Cardinals will likely keep the veteran limited in practices this week, but he should be out […]

David DeCastro Unsure If He'll Play In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro offensive guard David DeCastro (hand), who sat out in Week 2, said it's too early to tell if his broken right hand will heal enough to allow him to play in Week 3 on Monday against the Buccaneers. Before last Sunday, DeCastro hadn't missed a game due to injury since the middle […]

Antonio Brown Misses Meetings Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown did not show up for meetings on Monday after he was upset on the field and in the locker room during and after the team's Week 2 loss to the Chiefs, according to several team sources. It's unclear if his absence was cleared by head coach Mike Tomlin. Brown […]

DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension. "He's been on fire right now," Jackson told NFL Network's Scott Hanson and Willie McGinest on Monday. "With the way the team is rallying behind him and […]

Eli Apple Unlikely To Play In Week 3

New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple (groin) suffered a groin injury in Week 2 that will likely keep him out this weekend against the Texans. B.W. Webb replaced Apple in the lineup and will likely move into a starting role if Apple is inactive. Apple sitting out this weekend would be an upgrade for Houston […]

Tom Brady Lowering Expectations For Josh Gordon

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is lowering the expectations of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who the Patriots acquired via a trade on Monday. "You know, I hate to make projections and expectations. That's not fair," Brady told Jim Gray on Westwood One on Monday night. "I've never met Josh personally, just like I hadn't […]

Chris Carson Tires Out In Second Half

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson was "gassed" from playing special teams in Monday night's loss to the Bears, which is why he didn't touch the ball at all on offense in the second half. The team also wanted to see what rookie Rashaad Penny could do, too. It seems […]

Trevor Story Injures Elbow In Loss To Dodgers

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) left the game early with right elbow soreness on Monday and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. The fact that Story left in the middle of his at-bat can't be a good sign, but we'll wait to find out more about his injury on Tuesday. Story has been one of […]

Josh Reddick Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (Achilles) is being listed as day-to-day with pain in his Achilles, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Reddick was forced to leave the game early on Monday as a result. The left-handed hitter is batting just .240/.312/.391 with 15 homers, 44 RBI and seven stolen bases on […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Injures Calf Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left calf on Monday and will be evaluated on Tuesday. Cabrera was hitless in three plate appearances before leaving this game. While a Grade 1 strain is the least severe, this could still end his season with not many games left. Cabrera […]

Josh Reddick Injured Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (ankle) left the game early on Monday with right ankle discomfort. Reddick was hitless in his lone plate appearance before departing the contest. The left-handed hitter actually has reverse splits this year, hitting .280 against lefties and just .223 against right-handers. Overall, he's hitting .240/.312/.391 with 15 homers, 44 RBI […]

Eddie Rosario Aggravates Quad Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) aggravated his quad injury on Monday and was forced from the game. The good news is that Rosario hit a solo home run in three plate appearances before leaving. The bad news is that this is an injury that has kept Rosario from playing recently and could force him […]

Adam Frazier Injures Knee Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier (knee) left the game early with a knee injury on Monday. Frazier fouled a ball off his knee, stayed in the game and doubled before leaving the game. He had two hits, including the double, a run scored, two RBI and a walk in three plate appearances before leaving. The […]

Greg Zuerlein To Miss A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will be out "at least a few weeks." Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the game and kicks for one of the best offenses in the league, so his absence will be felt by the Rams and his fantasy owners. […]

Matt Andriese To Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Andriese will start against the Cubs on Tuesday. Andriese has made four starts this year, but all four came with the Rays, and he has not started a game since July 4. That means that Andriese probably won't stay in this game for more than a few innings. He has a […]

Aaron Judge Won't Return To Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) had no issues after taking part in a simulated game on Monday, but he won't return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Wednesday could be the day that the slugger returns for the first time since fracturing his wrist in late July. Judge is […]

Redskins Signing Michael Floyd

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Monday, according to a source. Washington clearly isn't happy with the production they are getting from Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, so they are bringing in some competition/depth. They also added former first-rounder Breshad Perriman on Monday. Floyd didn't make final cuts […]
