DeSean Jackson Could Be Back in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) could return in Week 9 and see the field for the first time since Week 2. Jackson is expected to practice this week, although his injury is one that is expected to linger for the rest of the season. With the Eagles bye week coming up in Week […]

Alshon Jeffery Just an OK Option for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a decent, unexciting option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Jeffery and the Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game in Week 8, leading to quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. It's likely that they […]

Tony Pollard Not a Starting Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard won't be a starting fantasy option in Week 9. Despite a great matchup against the New York Giants on Monday night, Pollard will be in his customary back seat, watching starter Ezekiel Elliott likely run circles around the Giants Defense. Pollard remains a handcuff with league-winning upside, but […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Run for Days in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have no problem putting up fantasy points in bunches in Week 9. The Cowboys will travel to New Jersey to play on Monday Night Football against the division-rival New York Giants and their very generous defense. Elliott is a top-five option at his position this week with the […]

Boston Scott Not a Safe Week 9 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a Week 9 fantasy option. Scott made some impressive moves in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, but he was on the field mostly because of the injury to Miles Sanders (shoulder). Scott may have earned a few more snaps with his play last week, but he'll […]

Darren Sproles Back to Practice; Could Play in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quad) is expected to return to practice this week and has a chance to suit up for a Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears. Sproles hasn't played or practiced since getting hurt in Week 5, and he's far from a sure thing in Week 9. Since the Eagles […]

Miles Sanders Looks to Build on a Big Game in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears and will look to build on his impressive Week 8 performance against the Buffalo Bills. Sanders only had six touches in Week 8 before leaving with a shoulder injury, but he did a lot on those […]

Jordan Howard Could Be a Solid Play in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could be a solid option in Week 9 despite a seemingly tough matchup against a strong Chicago Bears Defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game against the Bills in Week 8, leading Howard to a season-high 96 yards on the ground. More of the same […]

Dak Prescott a Top Option for Week 9

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top-five options at the position in Week 9. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants and their very generous defense. Prescott is being ranked somewhere from QB3-6 for this one, and should have a strong floor […]

Carson Wentz Slips Out of the QB1 Ranks for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has fallen out of the fantasy QB1 ranks for Week 9. The Eagles will host the Chicago Bears and their fearsome pass defense. With the Eagles really getting the running game going in Week 8, Wentz only completed 17 passes for 172 yards. A similar performance might be in store […]

Falcons Considered Trading Devonta Freeman

The Atlanta Falcons discussed running back Devonta Freeman with the Detroit Lions before the trade deadline this past week. The Lions inquired about Freeman and the sides talked at length, but ultimately Atlanta decided they didn't want to trade him. It's been a tough year for Freeman and the Falcons, and negative game script hasn't […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Fine Outside The Limelight

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is fine with his role amidst the Niners undefeated start. Entering Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, the passing attack has become a tertiary thought to the team’s dominant defense and run game. Garoppolo hasn’t helped himself, committing nine turnovers in seven contests. Jimmy G should continue playing game […]

Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Miss Practice

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (quad, knee) will not practice on Tuesday. Both players were “limited” in yesterday’s estimated injury report and are iffy for Thursday night’s Week 9 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Tevin Coleman ignited for four touchdowns in Week 8 and should carry even […]

Marqise Lee's Season Ends

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, which will end his season. Lee didn't receive a lot of attention, but his departure could open up more for Keelan Cole, who has just four catches for 33 yards this season. However, he has scored touchdowns in consecutive weeks. Cole […]

Kenyan Drake To Have Workload Monitored

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake will be given a "manageable" workload in Week 9 to help his transition to a new team in a short week, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Look for him to share work with Alfred Morris or Zach Zenner against the daunted San Francisco 49ers Defense. The Niners have […]

Chase Edmonds Idle Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) was out of practice Tuesday, and his status for Thursday night is a big question mark. The Cardinals acquired running back Kenyan Drake from the Miami Dolphins, and he figures to see the bulk of the action in Week 9. The San Francisco 49ers are a terrible matchup […]

David Johnson Sits Out Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) remained out of practice Tuesday, and he's not expected to be ready to play Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers. The Cardinals acquired running back Kenyan Drake from the Miami Dolphins after running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) also went down in Week 8. Drake should remain a factor […]

Andy Dalton's Tenure Ends

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was benched in favor of rookie QB Ryan Finley Tuesday. The Bengals are on a bye this week, and Finley will have two weeks to prepare for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Finley is tall and lanky, but he hasn't displayed a big arm. He's also a 24-year-old rookie. […]

Jaylen Samuels On Track To Play In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) is "ready to go," in Week 9, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Samuels had to have his knee scoped after the Week 5 loss to Baltimore, and was out about a month. He was a full participant in last week’s practices, but the team held him out […]

Preston Williams Does Little on Monday Night

Keeping with the theme of his team, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams did little to help his fantasy owners on Monday night, finishing with just 42 yards on four receptions in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. All four of Williams receptions came in the first half, with his last catch of the […]

James Conner, Benny Snell Jr. Injury Updates

Pittsburgh Steelers running back's James Conner (shoulder) and Benny Snell Jr. (knee) will be limited in practice this week, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Conner suffered an AC joint sprain late in the fourth quarter of Monday's 27-14 win over Miami, whereas Snell went down earlier in the contest. Losing Conner would be a […]

Mark Walton Ineffective in Loss

After starting his last three games, and with teammate Kenyan Drake being traded to the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton had an opportunity to claim the backfield for himself in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This claim ended up mostly empty as Walton finished with only 35 yards on […]

Falcons Release Matt Bryant, Sign Younghoe Koo

The Atlanta Falcons have released kicker Matt Bryant. Bryant had been with the Falcons since 2009, but he made just nine of his 14 field goals this season, also missing one of his 15 extra point attempts. In a corresponding move, the team signed kicker Younghoe Koo, last seen in a real NFL game as […]

Jets Looking to Trade Le'Veon Bell on Tuesday

The New York Jets are reportedly trying to trade starting running back Le'Veon Bell before Tuesday's trade deadline. Bell has only been on the Jets for a half season at this point and is signed to a $52.5 million deal for the next three and a half seasons. A trade would leave $13.19 million worth […]

Devante Parker Held Scoreless on Monday Night

After scoring touchdowns in three-straight games, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was kept out of the end zone in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Targeted a team-high eight times, Parker finished with 59 yards on six receptions, with his longest completion going for 15 yards. Along with many of his now-departed teammates, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Helps Keep Miami Winless

After leading 14-0 early in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick righted the ship for the remaining three quarters, throwing two interceptions and fumbling twice. The veteran signal caller's sub-par play propelled the Dolphins to their seventh-straight loss and kept them in the catbird seat for the first […]

Chris Boswell Posts Solid Night

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made two of three field goals, while nailing all three extra-point attempts in Monday’s 27-14 win over the Dolphins. Boswell missed a 54 yarder to open the third quarter, marking his first miss of the season. However, he made up by being perfect on the other five kicking attempts. In […]

The Steelers Defense Closes In On Dolphins

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense allowed just 14 points, while forcing four turnovers and registering three sacks in Monday’s win over the Miami Dolphins. It was a rough start for Pittsburgh who gave up two touchdowns in the game’s first quarter; however, they didn’t allow a point after that. Defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick recorded both interceptions […]

Vance McDonald Catches Three Passes In Win

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Monday night’s win over Miami. The 29-year-old has been an afterthought in the offense, regardless of who is in at quarterback for the Steelers. He’s been targeted just eight times in the last three games, and is nearing drop status […]

James Washington Held In Check Against Dolphins

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington had just one catch for 21 yards in Monday’s win over the Dolphins. The second-year receiver didn’t get much help from quarterback Mason Rudolph who had trouble throwing a catchable pass to his former college teammate. In just his first action since missing the Week 6 game against the […]
