Ravens Rule Out Nnamdi Madubuike For MNF

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Detroit Lions this Monday night without defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Baltimore has struggled against opposing rushers, and the injury to the two-time Pro Bowler certainly won't help the cause against a strong Lions offense. Already facing a bottom-five fantasy defense against […]

Tucker Kraft Likely To Play In Week 3

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Carson Wentz Off Starting Radar In First Vikings Start

Despite a chance to start for at least the next couple of weeks, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz should remain off the fantasy radar in Week 3 against Cincinnati. The veteran is filling in for starter J.J. McCarthy and certainly has the experience to handle the offense, but the bigger concern is an offensive line […]

Lead-Back Work In Store For Jordan Mason

With Aaron Jones Sr. (hamstring) out for a minimum of four weeks, Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is a quality RB2 candidate against a bad Cincinnati defense. The Vikings have been among the most hard-luck teams in the league in terms of injuries, and will enter Week 3 without their starting quarterback, center, and […]

Despite Vikings' Injury Issues, Justin Jefferson Still A Clear Starter

Wide receiver Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings faces a plus matchup with a struggling Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 3, with the caveat that there are many variables at play for Minnesota.

Adam Thielen A Desperation-Only Play In Week 3

Coming off two poor offensive weeks, things look even worse for the Minnesota Vikings and wide receiver Adam Thielen in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

If starting left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee), who is […]

Jalen Nailor a No-Go in Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor shouldn't be considered, even in deep formats, when his team takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. The lack of confidence has less to do with Nailor than with the chaos around him, as Minnesota hasn't shown it can protect its quarterback and is now besieged by injuries. […]

Shaky Starting Potential For T.J. Hockenson Against Cincinnati

Faced with another solid opportunity for production, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is a low-end TE1 candidate against the Cincinnati Bengals, though fantasy managers could certainly be forgiven for being leery about his potential following two straight duds. The veteran tight end is facing a plus matchup for tight ends against the Bengals' defense, […]

Will Reichard Avoidable In Week 3

Facing a mid-tier matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard can most likely be avoided in Week 3. The Vikings' offense has been awry for most of the year, and will be without starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle), starting center Ryan Kelly (concussion), and possibly down to a third-string left tackle depending […]

Big Opportunity For Vikings D/ST Against Bengals

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a starting option when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who are playing in their first full game without star quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) in Week 3.

Tai Felton Yet To Play an Offensive Snap

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton is still searching for his first offensive snap as Minnesota prepares to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3.

Christian Watson Lauds Rookies Savion Williams, Matthew Golden

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson praised rookie wide receivers Savion Williams and Matthew Golden this week, saying the pair of first-year players are "already putting really good stuff on film," according to The Athletic.

Spencer Rattler's Play Keeping Tyler Shough In Background

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler's apparent improvement in Year 2 has sufficiently quieted any QB controversy rumblings, with Nola.com reporting that Saints coach Kellen Moore hasn't fielded a single question about replacing Rattler with rookie Tyler Shough since naming the former the starter. To his credit, Rattler won the competition in the offseason and […]

Cam Newton Says Shedeur Sanders Also Turned Down Eagles

Former NFL Most Valuable Player Cam Newton said on his podcast, 4th&1 with Cam Newton, that Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders also declined to be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Optimism That Jaylen Waddle Will Play on Thursday Night

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) will test his shoulder during pre-game warmups on Thursday at Buffalo, and there is growing optimism the receiver will be able to play.

Dynasty League Cut List - Top Fantasy Football Drop Candidates for Week 3

In dynasty fantasy football, roster spots are currency.

The key part of this format is maximizing a […]

Justin Jefferson Says Vikings Being Patient With J.J. McCarthy

Following a humbling loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson said the team is being patient with their new starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy. The superstar receiver still managed 81 yards on three catches, but the Vikings' offense has been mostly awful through two games. The second-year quarterback played in […]

Zavier Scott Could Be On Week 3 Streaming Radar

The Minnesota Vikings' injury issues at running back could see former undrafted rookie Zavier Scott thrust into Minnesota's RB2 role for the team's Week 3 game against Cincinnati. Starting running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) left the Vikings' loss to Atlanta on Sunday, and reserve running back Ty Chandler (knee) is on injured reserve after being […]

Jordan Mason to Get More Work?

With Minnesota Vikings starting running back Aaron Jones Sr. (hamstring) facing an injury, fellow running back Jordan Mason could be in line for more work with Minnesota set to face Cincinnati in Week 3. Already operating with a committee, the Vikings have seen significantly more rushing success with their new acquisition, whom the team extended […]

More O-Line Issues For J.J. McCarthy?

Things may be going from bad to worse for Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, whose struggling offensive line is now facing additional injuries headed into Week 3. Already playing without star left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee), who is working his way back from ACL surgery last year, backup left tackle Justin Skule (concussion) departed Sunday's […]

DeAndre Carter Ruled Out Of Sunday's Game

The Cleveland Browns announced that wide receiver DeAndre Carter (concussion) will not return to Sunday's game against Baltimore due to the injury.

Josh Allen Returns to the Game After Injury Scare

The Buffalo Bills can exhale after quarterback Josh Allen (nose) has returned to the game against the New York Jets after taking a shot to the face. The superstar QB departed the game after being bloodied when he was sandwiched between two Jets defenders, a collision that popped him in the nose. Allen wasn't out […]

Shane Zylstra Questionable to Return With Ankle Injury

The Detroit Lions said tight end Shane Zylstra (ankle) is questionable to return to the game Sunday against the Chicago Bears. The reserve came off the field with a bit of a limp after sustaining the injury, which could leave the Lions without a key special teamer. From a fantasy perspective, Zylstra is pretty far […]

Rasheen Ali Being Evaluated For Concussion

Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali (concussion) is being further evaluated after taking a blow to the head on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the team announced.

DeAndre Carter Leaves Game With Head Injury

The Cleveland Browns said wide receiver DeAndre Carter (concussion) left Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens to be evaluated in the locker room.

Mason Taylor in Line to Play Vs. Bills

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (ankle) is likely to be available when his team takes on the division rival Buffalo Bills.
