Eno Benjamin Inactive In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Benjamin is listed as the No. 4 running back on the team's depth chart behind Chase Edmonds, James Conner and Jonathan Ward, so this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Benjamin didn't see a single snap in the […]

Keelan Cole Inactive For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Carolina Panthers. With Jamison Crowder out too, quarterback Zach Wilson is already down two of his best weapons as he makes his NFL debut. Corey Davis should see plenty of targets and should be in a lot of fantasy […]

Trey Sermon Won't Play In Season Opener

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Trey Sermon will be a healthy scratch for the Week 1 season opener against the Detroit Lions. This comes as a pretty big surprise heading into Week 1 matchups, as the first-year back wasn't on the injury report this week and is listed as the primary backup to Raheem […]

Jaguars Make Jacob Hollister Inactive For Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Jacob Hollister is the team's only inactive skill position player ahead of Sunday's Week 1 meeting with the Houston Texans. Not a lot of surprises here, as Hollister was expected to be the No. 3 tight end on the team. This seems to imply that rookie tight end Luke Farrell is […]

Quenton Nelson Officially Active For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts guard Quenton Nelson (foot, back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. One of the NFL's best offensive linemen, having Nelson in the lineup will help keep quarterback Carson Wentz upright and can open some huge holes for running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor was already an RB1 play […]

Zack Moss A Healthy Week 1 Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss is not active for the team's Week 1 contest against the Steelers, but Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Moss isn't injured. Maybe there's something going on behind the scenes, but Moss being inactive comes as a huge surprise as he was expected to be a huge […]

David Montgomery Has Tough Week 1 Matchup

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery had a 71 percent snap share last year and should once again be a strong fantasy play because of his projected role in head coach Matt Nagy's offense. But Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season might be tough on Montgomery, as he faces a Rams defense that allowed […]

Jonathan Taylor Is A Solid Week 1 Play

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is a solid fantasy option in Week 1 against a Seahawks team that ranked 17th in fantasy points allowed to running backs last season. The sky might not be the limit for Taylor, but with guard Quenton Nelson trending towards playing, Taylor is a low-end RB1, even with the […]

Austin Jackson Will Play In Opener

The Miami Dolphins removed the questionable tag on left tackle Austin Jackson, meaning that he has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and will play in the Week 1 season opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Jackson tested positive for COVID-19 at the beginning of the week and was placed on the COVID-19 list, […]

Texans Have High Asking Price For Deshaun Watson

The Houston Texans were asking for a package of six players and NFL draft picks from interested teams calling in about quarterback Deshaun Watson this summer, according to league sources. The Texans were unwilling to budge from their trade price for Watson, who remains on the active roster, even though he will be a healthy […]

Austin Ekeler Officially Active For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's opener against the Washington Football Team. He will also be a "full-go," which is undoubtedly good news, especially for those in PPR leagues. As a result, fantasy managers should classify him as a must-start in every format imaginable in Week 1.

Broncos May Sit Bradley Chubb As A Precaution

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) is a game-time decision for Week 1 against the New York Giants, and the team could decide his status after a pre-game workout. Sources say that the Broncos will be cautious and make sure that Chubb is healthy for the final 16 games. Sitting the pass-rusher in the season […]

Keelan Cole A “True Game-Time Decision”

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (hamstring) is considered a game-time call for the opener against the Panthers. Cole "tweaked" his hamstring during practice throughout the week, so if he is officially ruled out, the team will be down another wideout after Jamison Crowder will sit to adhere to the league's health and safety […]

Jadeveon Clowney Should Be Good For Week 1

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (illness) and center J.C. Tretter (knee) should be available for the Week 1 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Clowney missed two practices this week due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he looks good to go after getting in a limited practice on Friday. The 28-year-old […]

Darnell Mooney Should Be Good To Go

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (back) is anticipated to be good to go for the season opener against the Rams. He has been dealing with a back injury recently, but he practiced in full on Friday, which virtually slammed the door on any questions surrounding his availability. The 23-year-old will be entering his sophomore […]

Preston Williams Likely Out In Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot) is likely out for Week 1 against New England. The 24-year-old has been riding a questionable tag leading up to the opener. However, it appears as if he hasn't fully recovered from the season-ending foot surgery that relegated him to just eight games during the 2020 campaign. With […]

Emmanuel Sanders Likely Available In Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is anticipated to be active for the season opener against the visiting Steelers. The veteran has battled a foot injury throughout most of the preseason, but it appears as if he is at least healthy enough to see the field in Week 1. Nonetheless, while Sanders certainly has […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Likely To Play Against Chiefs

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) is officially a game-time call but is expected to play on Sunday against Kansas City. Beckham suffered a season-ending ACL tear during a Week 7 clash against Cincinnati in 2020 and has been making his way back ever since. Still, even with his anticipated presence on the […]

Austin Ekeler Expected To Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is expected to play during the season opener against the Washington Football Team. The 26-year-old has been battling a nagging hamstring issue. However, after sitting out a few days throughout the week, he looked good at practice on Friday despite only being available in a limited capacity. […]

Schefter: Odell Beckham Jr. A Game-Time Decision

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) is a game-time decision ahead of his Week 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Schefter notes that while Beckham's knee has looked good in practice, he hasn't taken contact all summer, so the Browns want to see how he feels during […]

Saquon Barkley Medically Cleared, Set To Return Week 1

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) has been medically cleared and is expected to play in the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He logged limited practices throughout the week and is questionable for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old had no setbacks and is expected to return for the first time since tearing his […]

Randy Bullock Joins Titans Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans signed veteran kicker Randy Bullock to their practice squad on Saturday, according to a source. The Titans also signed kicker Michael Badgley to their active roster and placed Sam Ficken on Injured Reserve. The 31-year-old Bullock was cut by the Detroit Lions this summer but will latch on with Tennessee for now. […]

Eddie Goldman Downgraded To Out

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (knee) has been downgraded to out for the Week 1 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Goldman suffered a knee injury on Monday and didn't practice all week. With Goldman out, expect rookie Khyiris Tonga to fill in on the interior of Chicago's defensive line this Sunday. Goldman […]

Dennis Gardeck Placed On Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals placed linebacker Dennis Gardeck (hand) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Gardeck was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list after the team's preseason finale late last month, but he continues to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered in 2020. He will be out for at least the first three […]

Ameer Abdullah, Sean Mannion Added To Active Roster

The Minnesota Vikings added running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Sean Mannion to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the move, Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison were the only two running backs on Minnesota's roster, so Abdullah will provide some extra depth at the position. The […]

Eagles, Jordan Mailata Agree To Four-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles and left tackle Jordan Mailata signed a four-year, $64 million contract extension on Saturday that could be worth up to $80 million. The deal also includes $40.85 million guaranteed, according to a source. Mailata is now under contract with the team through the 2025 campaign. The 24-year-old seventh-rounder in 2018 outplayed an […]

Austin Jackson Comes Off COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins activated left tackle Austin Jackson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday after he tested positive for the virus on Monday. It remains to be seen if Jackson will actually play in Week 1 against the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday, but he at least has a chance to suit up now. […]

Taylor Decker Placed On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed star left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he had finger surgery, according to a source. Decker should be back in around a month, but this is no doubt a big loss for Detroit's offensive line and for new quarterback Jared Goff. Matt Nelson will likely start […]

Joey Slye Promoted To Active Roster

The Houston Texans have promoted kicker Joey Slye to the active roster. Slye was cut by the Panthers recently, but the Texans lost kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (groin) earlier in the week to the Injured Reserve list with a groin injury. Slye is a career 79.4% kicker, but is unlikely to help managers much with the […]

Titans Place Sam Ficken On IR, Sign Michael Badgley

The Tennessee Titans have placed kicker Sam Ficken (groin) on injured reserve with a groin injury. Ficken was claimed off waivers in August from the New York Jets and would go on to win the kicker job. He was limited in practice on Friday and will now miss at least the first three weeks of […]
