Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins "is not believed to be in the Bengals' future plans," according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Higgins and the team never came close to an extension and appear headed towards a divorce next offseason.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones (personal) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) was limited in practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

John Metchie III Ruled Out For Week 1
Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (hamstring) did not practice this week and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and has been removed from the injury report. He will play in Week 1 against the Houston Texans.

Mark Andrews Questionable For Season Opener
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quad) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He had been limited in practice all week long. Andrews was productive when healthy last year, racking up 73 receptions, 847 yards, and five touchdowns through 15 games. Whenever he's on the field, fantasy managers should prepare […]

Breece Hall Limited In Practice Friday
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was a limited participant in practice for the second consecutive day. He'd likely need to practice in full on Saturday in order to enter Week 1 without any injury designation. With that said, even if he ends up being listed as questionable, the expectation is that Hall […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1.

Jamal Adams, Kenny McIntosh Ruled Out For Week 1
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee, hamstring) and safety Jamal Adams (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Trea Turner Returns From Paternity List
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was activated from the paternity list on Friday afternoon. He's back in the starting lineup, batting second against Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez. While Turner's .263/.313/.452 slash line hasn't quite lived up to the offseason hype, he remains a dominant baserunner and has started to turn a corner offensively. All […]

He's slashing .314/.344/.488 with 18 homers this season, meaning his activation is great news for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers like. He should return to the starting lineup […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) remains sore and is expected to miss the upcoming weekend series versus the Washington Nationals.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (quad) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 1. This comes as no surprise after Burks practiced in full all week long.

Kendre Miller Does Not Practice Friday, Questionable For Week 1
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans despite not practicing at all this week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh), who is listed at the "joker" position on the team's official depth chart, is officially questionable for Week 1.

Wan'Dale Robinson Doubtful For Week 1
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after being limited in practice all week long.
