Tra Carson Lands On Injury Report

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) landed on the injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Carson surprisingly saw the most touches in Detroit's backfield in Week 8 in the first game minus Kerryon Johnson, but he still managed just 12 carries for 34 yards and wasn't targeted in […]

O.J. Howard Still Out, Cameron Brate Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but Cameron Brate (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity after sitting out on Wednesday. Howard is on track to miss his second straight game coming out of the team's bye week. He's been the biggest bust at his […]

Eric Ebron Absent Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) missed practice on Thursday after not showing up on the injury report on Wednesday. Mid-week injuries are never good, so we'll have to see how much Ebron does on Friday to determine whether or not he'll have a chance to play in Week 9 against the Steelers. Ebron […]

Patriots Releasing Josh Gordon

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) is being released off Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. Gordon will become available to all other teams and should get picked up quickly given his talent, but it remains to be seen where he'll land and whether he'll have a chance to become fantasy […]

Le'Veon Bell Frustrated With Workload

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell said he was angry and frustrated in Week 8 because he only had 12 touches in a loss to the Jaguars. Bell spoke with head coach Adam Gase about it and said they're good. He expects to be more involved this week in a cake matchup with the […]

Aaron Jones Is A Must-Start Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and reportedly was seen on the practice field on Thursday. Jones injured the shoulder during the game against Kansas City but was able to return, which bodes well for his Week 9 status. The 24-year-old Jones is coming off one of […]

Case Keenum Not Ruled Out For Week 9

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol, but it's still possible that he plays in Week 9 against the Bills if he feels better on Friday. Keenum has been taking third-team repetitions at practice behind rookie Dwayne Haskins and Colt McCoy. It's more of […]

James Conner Out Second Straight Day

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday, and it's looking more likely that he'll be inactive on Sunday against the Colts in Week 9. With Benny Snell (knee) out multiple weeks after meniscus surgery, Jaylen Samuels is on track to return to lead this […]

Delanie Walker Misses Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. All signs point to Walker missing his second straight game in Week 9 against the Panthers, and he could miss even more time after that. Jonnu Smith benefitted as the team's top pass-catching tight end in Week 8 and […]

Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel Practice In Full

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) both returned to full practices on Thursday. McCaffrey was limited as a precaution on Wednesday, while Samuel sat out. Both players should be fine for Week 9 against the Titans. McCaffrey has weekly overall RB1 upside as the workhorse of this offense, […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Play Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan believes that running back Raheem Mostert (knee) will be able to play on Thursday night against the Cardinals. With Matt Breida (ankle) also expected to suit up behind Tevin Coleman, that won't leave much work for Mostert, even with San Fran sporting the NFL's No. 2-ranked running game […]

Matt Breida Will Play Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle), who is questionable against the Cardinals, will play on Thursday night, according to a source. Breida felt good this morning and is good to go. He could see his snaps reduced in favor of Jeffery Wilson if Raheem Mostert is inactive, making him more of a risky […]

Joe Flacco Expected To Be Out 4-6 Weeks

After a second opinion on the bulging disc in his neck, Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) is expected to be out four to six weeks, according to a source. Flacco isn't expected to need surgery, but at this point it seems like a long shot that he'll play again in 2019, especially with the […]

T.Y. Hilton Not Seen At Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday. It's something to watch with Hilton having a history of lower-body issues. He usually manages to play through them and remain productive, but it's obviously something to watch heading into Friday. If Hilton plays, he'll be a high-end WR2 […]

Davante Adams In Helmet And Pads

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is practicing in helmet and pads on Thursday for the first time since his Sept. 26 turf toe injury. It's another sign that he's on track to return in Week 9 against the Chargers this Sunday. There's no guarantee that Adams will play this weekend, but all […]

Dwayne Haskins Seeing First-Team Reps In Practice

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins has been seeing first-team repetitions in practice the last two days with Case Keenum (concussion) questionable to play in Week 9 against the Bills. Colts McCoy has been working with the second team. There's a real chance that Keenum is forced to sit out this weekend, which would put […]

Miles Sanders Returns To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he'll be able to play in Week 9 against the Bears. Sanders had his best day as a pro in Week 8 against the Bills, including a rushing touchdown, but he's still […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice Again

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Peterson gutted through an ankle sprain last Thursday in a revenge game against his old team in the Vikings, but he may have done more damage to his ankle. He's not a lock to play in Week 9 in […]

Ravens Defense Will Have Earl Thomas Against Patriots

Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas (knee), who didn't practice on Wednesday, said he will play on Sunday night against the Patriots in Week 9. Baltimore's defense has underwhelmed to this point, but their secondary should be better moving forward with the addition of cornerback Marcus Peters. Along with Thomas and shutdown corner Marlon Humphrey, the […]

Benny Snell Jr. Has Surgery, Out 2-3 Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) underwent surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee, according to a source. It was a minor procedure but is expected to keep him out for two to three weeks. Snell suffered the injury in the Monday night win over the Dolphins. It's a hit to the […]

Sterling Shepard Practicing In Full

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, but he still needs final clearance from the league's concussion protocol in order to be active on Monday night against the Cowboys. Shepard has missed the last three games with his second concussion of the season. He's trending in […]

Aaron Rodgers Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, though it doesn't sound like anything too serious. Expect the 35-year-old to play in Week 9. Rodgers has thrown for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games, as he's seemingly found his stride. He'll face the Los Angeles […]

Alfred Morris To See Work

Arizona Cardinals running back Alfred Morris is expected to see some action Thursday night with David Johnson (ankle) and Chase Edmonds (hamstring) likely out. Newly acquired running back Kenyan Drake's workload will be restricted, and Morris figures to see a lot of the carries on first and second down. The San Francisco 49ers Defense is […]

David Johnson Unlikely For Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday night. Running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is also out, which means Kenyan Drake and Alfred Morris will share the work against the San Francisco 49ers. The team said Drake's workload will be restricted because he's so new to the team. Look for Morris […]

Duke Williams Is Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 9

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams has just three targets over the past two games. He appears to be the team's No. 2 receiver on paper, but slot receiver Cole Beasley is the second receiver quarterback Josh Allen is looking to after John Brown, making Williams the de facto No. 3. The Bills have a […]

Bills Defense Should Bounce Back Strong In Week 9

The Bills Defense showed some vulnerability in Week 8 as the Eagles posted 31 points on them, the most the team had allowed all year by a long shot. This week should be a different story. The Redskins are coming to town with the league's third-lowest scoring offense (12.4 points per game). They also average […]

Dawson Knox Not A Viable Starter In Week 9

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is in a tough place going into Week 9. Veteran tight end Tyler Kroft out-produced him in Week 8, catching two passes for 32 yards on four targets while Knox went catch-less on just one target. As long as Kroft is healthy, Knox is going to see fewer targets […]

Tyler Kroft Is A Risky Dart Throw For Week 9

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft stole some of the shine off of rookie tight end Dawson Knox in Week 8 when Knox was shut out in the game and Kroft caught two of his four targets for 32 yards. In all likelihood, this situation is going to be messy going forward. The veteran Kroft […]

Cole Beasley A Decent WR3 Or Flex Option In PPR Leagues

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley has scored touchdowns each of the past two weeks and has a very favorable Week 9 matchup against the Redskins. Beasley has received at least six targets in four of his last five games. His yardage totals on the year have been very underwhelming as he's only topped 50 […]

Start John Brown With Confidence In Week 9

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown led the team in targets (eight), receptions (five) and receiving yards (54) in Week 8 and is in a good position to repeat the feat in Week 9. This week the Bills take on the Redskins, who allow around 378 yards of total offense per week, the seventh-most in […]
