Brian Burns Expected To Play In Week 3

New York Giants defensive end Brian Burns (groin) is expected to play in Week 3 versus the Cleveland Browns.

Burns has seven tackles […]

Bryce Young Expected To Start Again In 2024

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will likely be re-installed as the team's starter later this season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The former No. 1 pick was benched earlier this week, but the team views the decision "as a break or timeout more than anything." Carolina reportedly still has confidence in Young, who […]

Tyjae Spears Expected To Play In Week 3

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to play in Week 3 versus the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Spears had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction heading into the weekend. Tony Pollard remains the top running back in this Tennessee offense, but Spears […]

Justin Herbert Preparing To Play, Still A Game-Time Decision

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle) is preparing as though he will play in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. However, Herbert is still viewed as a game-time decision as the Chargers want to evaluate him further during pregame warmups. The former first-round pick has completed 31 of 46 […]

Greg Dortch Expected To Play In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (hamstring) is expected to be active for Week 3 versus the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Dortch caught six of eight targets back in Week 1 but commanded just two targets on a 35 percent snap share last weekend. He is Arizona's No. 3 wide receiver behind […]

Nick Bosa Expected To Play Versus Rams Sunday

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (rib) is expected to be active for Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable entering the weekend. Having Bosa available is terrific news for the 49ers, who will be shorthanded at other positions on the field. Offensively, George Kittle (hamstring) is doubtful […]

Colby Parkinson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End TE2 ANALYSIS: Opportunities are no longer hard to come by for Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson. The 25-year-old has played over 80 percent of offensive snaps in each of the Rams' first two games this season. Parkinson's increased playing time is a product […]

Jalen Nailor - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Nailor has been impressive this season, getting increased opportunities amidst injuries to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While Jefferson is healthy and playing this week, Addison (ankle) has been ruled out. That leaves Nailor as the Vikings' No. 2 wide receiver. Most of Nailor's […]

Browns Eyeing QBs, Preparing For Deshaun Watson Suspension

The Cleveland Browns are believed to be evaluating available quarterbacks in anticipation that the NFL will push to suspend quarterback Deshaun Watson for violating the personal conduct policy, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. While the league said it won't place him on leave, there is now a growing sense that they will […]

Patriots Could Field Interest In Jonathan Jones

The New England Patriots could receive calls from several teams interested in acquiring cornerback Jonathan Jones, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Several teams reportedly contacted the Patriots about Jones during the offseason, and those conversations could be re-kindled closer to the deadline if New England doesn't anticipate making the playoffs. Graziano mentioned the Falcons as […]

Jalin Hyatt Denies Suggesting Potential Trade

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt refuted the idea that he told the team to give him more snaps or trade him. His comments were a response to a report from Jordan Raanan of ESPN, who claimed Hyatt felt that "if the Giants weren't going to use him, they should trade him." However, when […]

Troy Fautanu Injures Knee, Out Indefinitely

Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Troy Fautanu (knee) suffered an injury during practice on Friday and is expected to be out indefinitely, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He's still undergoing tests to pinpoint the exact extent of the injury, but the team is preparing as though he'll be sidelined for a while. Fautanu, a rookie first-round […]

Myles Garrett Playing Through Injury, Could Eventually Need Surgery

Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett (foot) is dealing with the same injury to both his feet, per ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. He might require surgery in the future, but for now, he's playing through the issue. The 28-year-old continues to dominate in 2024, racking up five tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles through two […]

Antonio Gibson Efficient In Week 3 Loss

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed five times for 29 yards during Thursday's game against the New York Jets. He also caught three passes for an additional eight yards through the air. Gibson primarily played late in the game, including the drive in which Drake Maye replaced Jacoby Brissett. He was incredibly efficient […]

Hunter Henry Held In Check In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of three targets for nine yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. Henry had broke out for eight catches and 109 yards in Week 2, but he was dealt a harsh reality check as his production came way back down to earth in Week […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Held To Just Six Carries In Week 3

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed just six times for 23 yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. The 26-year-old has logged at least 21 carries and one touchdown in each of the first two games this season, so his reduced opportunities and production in Week 3 was certainly a surprise. […]

Demario Douglas Targeted Nine Times Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas turned nine targets into seven catches for 69 yards against the New York Jets on Thursday night. Douglas had been off to a quiet start this season, finishing Week 2 with zero targets and the third-most snaps among wide receivers on the team. However, he got more reps […]

Drake Maye Enters In Week 3

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye came off the bench to make his NFL debut during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the New York Jets. He replaced Jacoby Brissett for the final drive of the game. Brissett had not fared very well behind the Patriots' depleted offensive line, and while Maye was also […]

Jacoby Brissett Sacked Five Times Before Exiting Thursday

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 12 of 18 pass attempts for 98 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers against the New York Jets in Week 3. He also took five sacks, which is a clear indication that New England has a porous offensive line. The unit has specifically been bad in pass protection, […]

Jerod Mayo Not Ready To Name Week 4 Starting QB

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was non-committal when asked if he would consider a quarterback change heading into Week 4 of the 2024 season. "I don't know," Mayo told the media after Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. "We talk about it every single week: you're competing for a job. We'll get […]

Morgan Moses To Undergo MRI On Friday

New York Jets right tackle Morgan Moses (knee) exited Thursday's game against the New England Patriots and was eventually downgraded to out. The 33-year-old has been a beacon of health throughout his career, missing just three games over the last nine-plus seasons. He'll undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of his injury […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Miami is dealing with injuries throughout its offense, including Wilson and fellow running back Raheem Mostert (chest). When this whole backfield is healthy, Wilson operates as the No. 3 option but still earns a handful of touches. With that […]

Noah Fant Limited By Toe Injury Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fant played a season-high 81 percent of snaps last Sunday but seems to have come out of Week 2 with a toe issue. Even if it's minor, it will be something worth monitoring as the week progresses and the Seahawks […]

Tyler Lockett Limited In Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The bad news is that Lockett is dealing with an injury or ailment. The good news is that it's common for veteran players to miss practice on Wednesday as they heal a minor injury and rest. Plus, there's still two more […]

Kenneth Walker III Remains Sidelined For Wednesday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. As the Seahawks prepare for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, they're at risk of being without their star running back. The 23-year-old ran free for 103 yards and a touchdown during the Seahawks' season opener, but he emerged from Week 1 […]

DK Metcalf Absent As Week 3 Preparation Begins

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (hand) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. The star pass-catcher bounced back from a quiet season opener by catching 10 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown last Sunday. Now, as the Seahawks begin preparation for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, Metcalf is nursing an injury. As […]

Joey Slye A Solid Streamer For Week 3

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye has positioned himself as a solid fantasy football waiver wire addition for Week 3. When the Patriots face the New York Jets on Thursday night, Slye is a candidate to exceed his project point total. For starters, the Patriots offense has afforded Slye several opportunities to kick for points […]

Patriots Defense Avoidable In Most Leagues Thursday

The New England Patriots defense can be left on waivers in most leagues heading into Week 3 against the New York Jets. This unit has been respectable over the first two weeks of the season, but a couple of factors should lead fantasy managers in a different direction this week. First, the Patriots' offense is […]
