Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren To Split Carries Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are expected to split carries against the San Francisco 49ers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While Harris will draw the start and handle plenty of first- and second-down opportunities, Warren will play third downs while also earning snaps on some first and second downs. Fantasy managers […]

De'Von Achane Not Expected To Play Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. While Achane was removed from the injury report on Friday, the rookie is expected to be inactive due to "rust" accrued while missing a portion of his first training […]

Jerry Jeudy Not Expected To Play Week 1

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring), who had been listed as questionable, is expected to be inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. While Jeudy's injury designation left the door open for him to play, his being healthy in time for kickoff seemed unrealistic. Indeed, he'll sit […]

Devon Witherspoon Not Expected To Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. His NFL debut will have to wait another week. Tre Brown or Mike Jackson should handle additional snaps until Witherspoon is healthy enough to return.

Jonathan Taylor Trade Talks To Continue, Has "Slim" Chance Of Returning To Colts

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is healthy enough to pass a physical to return from the PUP list today, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. However, due to the terms of the PUP list, Taylor can't be activated until after Week 4, giving the Colts four weeks to evaluate their options. Rapoport notes that trading […]

George Kittle Expected To Play Week 1

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is expected to suit up Sunday despite being listed as questionable, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 29-year-old is arguably the league's second-best (and most athletic) tight end when healthy, so although he hasn't played a full season since 2018, the 49ers must be thrilled that […]

Darren Waller Expected To Play In Week 1

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to suit up versus the Dallas Cowboys despite being listed as questionable, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Waller was a late addition to the injury report this past week but is still expected to be active for the season opener as he makes his […]

Romeo Doubs Expected To Play Week 1 On Snap Count

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hamstring) is expected to be active for Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. However, he will likely have a snap count, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. We don't know just how limited Doubs' role will be, but it's enough to pivot away from starting him in […]

Zach Ertz Likely To Play Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) had been listed as questionable but is expected to play in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 32-year-old is looking to play in his first game since Week 10 last season when he tore his left ACL. Ertz isn't quite on […]

Is Rhamondre Stevenson Playing In Week 1? Should I Start Stevenson For Fantasy Football?

The weekend is approaching, which means the bulk of Week 1 games are less than 48 hours away. It also means that teams have released their final injury reports, providing key information about which players might suit up in their respective season openers. One player who should be monitored is Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson […]

Tee Higgins Not In Bengals' Future Plans, Extension Unlikely

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. It's an interesting development considering the Bengals have benefitted greatly from having a […]

Chandler Jones Won't Play In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones (personal) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Earlier this week, Jones took to social media to speak quite critically about the Raiders organization, including general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh Daniels. Jones has not practiced since then, and it's unclear if […]

Jerry Jeudy Officially Questionable For Season Opener

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. While this is a positive development considering Jeudy was a candidate for short-term IR just last week, it would have been nice to see him log one […]

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. It's been an emotionally frustrating start to Metchie's career after he tore his ACL and was diagnosed with Leukemia last season, stripping him of his rookie campaign. Now, his […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Cleared To Play Sunday

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. However, we don't know exactly what Beckham's role will look like thanks to a variety of factors, including the Ravens' reliance on the rushing […]

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 […]

Rhamondre Stevenson, DeVante Parker Questionable For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) and wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) are officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Stevenson popped up on the injury report Friday after missing practice with a stomach bug and is expected to play Sunday, though it makes sense that the Patriots […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Will Play Sunday, Could Have Increased Role

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (back) upgraded to a full participant during Friday's practice and has been cleared to play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. Marshall could see an increase in targets with DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) ruled out and Adam Thielen (ankle) listed as questionable. Marshall is worth consideration in […]

Kenneth Walker III Cleared To Play Sunday

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. The 22-year-old was dominant as a rookie last season, amassing 1,050 rushing yards, 165 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. While Seattle brought in Zach Charbonnet via the draft, […]

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. Neither player practiced at all this week, so this news comes as no surprise. McIntosh is merely a depth piece and, even if active, would have operated behind Kenneth Walker […]

Nick Pratto Returns From Injured List Following Setback

Kansas City Royals first baseman Nick Pratto (groin, hip) was activated from the 15-day injured list on Friday. He had been out since July 27 with a left groin strain and left hip impingement. He delivered solid offensive production when healthy, slashing .238/.324/.375 with seven homers, 31 RBI, a 9.7 BB%, and a 37.5 K%. […]

J.D. Martinez Returns From Stint On 10-Day IL

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list following a successful rehab assignment.

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 […]

Bo Bichette Activated From Injured List Friday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (right quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old had been out since Aug. 27. 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 […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Miss Weekend Series

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) remains sore and is expected to miss the upcoming weekend series versus the Washington Nationals. Betts was spotted on crutches Thursday after fouling a ball off his left foot, and while X-rays came back negative, he'll need a couple of games off. Manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that […]

Byron Buxton Meeting With Team To Discuss Rehab

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (right knee) is scheduled to meet with the front office and medical staff on Friday, per Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Jake Moody Off Injury Report, Will Make NFL Debut Sunday

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (quad) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being limited in practice this week, the rookie is on track to make his NFL debut. He's a fringe top-12 option in fantasy football but is worth rostering if you're looking for an […]

George Kittle Questionable To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was limited in practice all week long and could be a true game-time decision. The 29-year-old is dominant when healthy, but that qualifier is key. Kittle has missed 18 games over the last three […]
