David Johnson To Be Used More As Receiver

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said running back David Johnson will be used more out of the slot moving forward in order to utilize him in space. About time. It took the Cardinals being outscored 58-6 in the first two weeks Wilks and the coaching staff to change things up. Johnson attempted 22 rushes […]

Patriots Close To Landing Josh Gordon

The New England Patriots are getting close to trading for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, according to a source. Gordon wore out his welcome in Cleveland and was believed to be on the verge of relapse from drug and alcohol problems last Saturday before the team decided to trade or release him. However, when […]

Phillip Gaines Has Dislocated Elbow

Buffalo Bills cornerback Phillip Gaines (elbow) suffered a dislocated elbow in the Week 2 loss to the Chargers, but he could still play in Week 3 against the Vikings, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Buffalo's secondary is already weak, so losing Gaines for any amount of time would be bad news. Even if Gaines […]

Falcons Unsure When Devonta Freeman Will Return

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said he's not sure on a timetable for when running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will return. Freeman sat out in Week 2 and is expected to miss two to three more weeks, but it could be even more. Tevin Coleman ran for over 100 yards against Carolina and should […]

Taylor Lewan Must Still Pass Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) is making progress, but he must still pass the concussion protocol in order to practice this week. The Titans are one of the most beat up teams on the offensive line, and starting quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) sat over Blaine Gabbert in […]

Carson Wentz Won't Be Held Back

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will not be limited at all in his season debut in Week 3 against the Colts. "He's going to be prepared mentally, now it's a matter of the physical part taking over," Pederson said. "... In my mind, he's cleared, he's cleared. No need […]

Evan Phillips Starting On Monday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Evan Phillips will make the "start" against the Blue Jays on Monday. This will be a bullpen game for Baltimore, with Phillips probably going only an inning to two at the most. The right-hander has a 13.03 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and six strikeouts in eight relief outings for the Orioles this […]

Aaron Rodgers Didn't Further Damage His Knee

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) didn't do any further damage to his knee by playing in Week 2 against the Vikings, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy said Rodgers is "obviously sore, but that's to be expected. But he's a warrior, what he gave us yesterday was outstanding. I don't have a […]

Aroldis Chapman Throws Successful Sim Game

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) threw a successful 22-pitch simulated game on Monday. That should be his last step before he returns to the team's bullpen this week. Chapman could be immediately put back in the ninth-inning closer role and he should be back in your lineups when he's activated from the disabled […]

Aaron Judge Takes Simulated At-Bats

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) had 11 live at-bats on Monday off pitchers A.J. Cole, Chance Adams and Phillip Diehl. He was activated from the disabled list last Friday but has yet to hit in a game. That could happen this week, which means fantasy owners are getting close to be able to […]

Kenneth Dixon Could Return This Year

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, is a candidate to be designated to return, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Dixon has potential but just cannot seem to stay on the field. With him out for at least another seven weeks, the Ravens will continue to roll with Alex […]

Hayden Hurst Won't Play In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens rookie Hayden Hurst (foot) will not practice this week, which means he'll miss his third straight game, according to head coach John Harbaugh. With Hurst still sidelined, the Ravens should continue to keep rotating Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams and rookie Mark Andrews in. The Ravens have an exploitable matchup with Denver in Week […]

LeSean McCoy Questionable For Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (rib) is dealing with cracked rib cartilage and is questionable for Week 3 against the Vikings, according to a source. McCoy shouldn't miss more than one game, if that. He's dealt with this injury before and isn't expected to be sidelined for long. Things just keep getting worse for […]

Zane Gonzalez Released By Browns

Cleveland Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez was released on Monday after he missed two field goals and two extra points in the 21-18 loss to the Saints in Week 2. Gonzalez was 2-for-5 on field goals through two weeks. That just isn't going to cut it in the NFL. The Browns will role with undrafted Greg […]

Vikings Signing Aldrick Robinson

The Minnesota Vikings are signing free-agent wide receiver Aldrick Robinson on Monday, according to sources. Robinson is a speedy wideout that had only 19 receptions for 260 yards and two touchdowns in a full season with the Niners last year. He'll provide depth behind Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell and Stacy Coley. There's a […]

Marcus Mariota's Status Hasn't Changed

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed since Friday or Saturday of last week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Mariota was active in Week 2 against the Texans but didn't play at all and was dealing with numbness in his fingers last week. It's not looking good for his chances of playing […]

Browns Signing Greg Joseph

The Cleveland Browns are signing undrafted free-agent kicker Greg Joseph after a workout on Monday, according to a source. Joseph will replace Zane Gonzalez after he missed two field goals, including a potential game-tying kick, and two extra points in Week 2. Joseph can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Jon Halapio Out For The Season

New York Giants center Jon Halapio (ankle, leg) broke his lower leg and ankle in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will have surgery to fix both injuries. He will miss the rest of the season. It's an ominous sign for an already bad offensive line. While it's great news that rookie running back Saquon […]

Vita Vea Could Practice This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf), who hasn't played yet this year, is improving and could practice this week. Vea is still probably a week or two away from making his NFL debut, but it looks like he's making progress. His return will boost a Tampa pass rush that is mostly relying […]

Eric Berry Could Practice This Week

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel), who has yet to play this year, is improving and could practice this week. KC's secondary has been ravaged in two weeks by the Chargers and Steelers, and getting Berry back would certainly make them a little stronger in that area. 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and his receivers […]

Breshad Perriman Working Out With Redskins

Free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman is working out for the Washington Redskins on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was a first-round bust with the Ravens and hasn't found a job yet on the open market. He'd be buried on the depth chart in Washington if he were to sign there. Perriman is a long […]

Panthers Want To Give D.J. Moore More Work

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said the team "has to put more on D.J. Moore's plate." The rookie wideout has just two targets on the season (both coming in Week 2), and he caught his only pass against the Falcons for a 51-yard score in the loss. Moore has the most long-term upside of […]

Alshon Jeffery Still Week-To-Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) remains "week-to-week" with his injury. Jeffery plans to at least practice on a limited basis again this week, but that won't make him a lock to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Colts. With Mike Wallace breaking his leg […]

Carson Wentz Will Start In Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has been medically cleared and will start in Week 3 against the Colts, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Backup Nick Foles was much better against Tampa's weak secondary, but the Eagles appear confident that Wentz is as close to 100 percent as he's going to get. Against a […]

Mike Wallace Suffers Broken Leg

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) broke his fibula in Week 2 against the Buccaneers and "will miss the next few weeks," according to head coach Doug Pederson. The team will not place Wallace on Injured Reserve for now while they do more tests. Typically this is an injury that would end your season, […]

Alshon Jeffery Plans To Practice This Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) said he plans to practice this week, at least on a limited basis. That doesn't mean that Jeffery will be able to return in Week 3 against the Colts, but it's a good sign he's at least making progress. With Mike Wallace (leg) potentially out for the long […]

Cam Robinson Suffers Torn ACL

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 against the Patriots and will miss the rest of the season. Robinson was a young up-and-coming left tackle, so this is a big blow to the Jaguars offensive line and is bad news for quarterback Blake Bortles.

Rams Expected To Sign Sam Ficken

The Los Angeles Rams are expected to re-sign kicker Sam Ficken with Greg Zuerlein (groin) injured, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. With Zuerlein out for Week 2, the Rams converted three two-point conversions and had punter Johnny Hekker kick an extra point and a 20-yard field goal. The Rams aren't putting Zuerlein on Injured […]

Panthers Run Defense Has Struggled

The Carolina Panthers run defense stood out as a weakness in their 31-24 Week 2 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Atlanta snapped the team's 21-game streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher when Tevin Coleman ran for 107 yards in place of the injured Devonta Freeman (knee). Rookie Ito Smith even had five yards […]

Browns Working Out Kickers Monday

The Cleveland Browns are working out kickers on Monday, including free agents Blair Walsh and Cairo Santos, according to sources. This comes after Browns current kicker Zane Gonzalez missed two field goals and two extra points in the Week 2 loss to the Saints. His missed 52-yard attempt with less than 10 seconds in the […]
