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.

Zach Zenner Placed On IR

The Detroit Lions placed running back Zach Zenner (back) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he left the final preseason game with a back injury. That will end Zenner's 2018 season.

Leonte Carroo Joins Practice Squad

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Leonte Carroo has joined the team's practice squad after being cut from the active roster, according to a source. Carroo has been a bust as a third-round pick in 2016, catching just 10 passes for 98 yards and one touchdown in his two seasons.

Ed Dickson Says He's Ready

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) said that he's ready for Week 1 against the Broncos. It looks like he'll come off the Non-Football Injury list ahead of the season opener, but he'll likely be behind Nick Vannett as the main pass-catching tight end if he's active. Dickson can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Garrett Gilbert Released By Panthers

The Carolina Panthers cut backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert among many moves to trim their roster down to 53 players this weekend. Gilbert was the front-runner to be the backup to Cam Newton, but he lost out on the gig to Taylor Heinicke. Heinicke's experience in offensive coordinator Norv Turner's scheme in Minnesota likely gave him […]

Walker Buehler Undergoing X-Rays

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (foot) left the clubhouse on Sunday to have precautionary X-rays on his left foot. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but check back later for the results of his tests. The talented right-hander allowed just one run on two hits while striking out nine and walking […]

Broncos Cut Carlos Henderson

The Denver Broncos released wide receiver Carlos Henderson on Saturday, according to sources. The third-round pick last year, Henderson didn't play at all in his rookie season due to injury and hadn't reported to training camp because of personal issues. The writing was on the wall when the Broncos drafted rookies Courtland Sutton and Daesean […]

Roger Lewis Released By Giants

The New York Giants released wide receiver Roger Lewis on Saturday, according to a source. He was third on the team last year with 416 receiving yards and at times was the team's top wideout with Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard injured.

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (concussion) has made progress and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks. Engram should be good to go for the season opener, and fantasy owners will want to throw him into their lineups despite the tough matchup. There won't be as many […]
