Rashard Higgins, Denzel Ward Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Even if Higgins winds up playing, he's behind Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and Damion Ratley on the depth chart and isn't worth using in fantasy lineups. If both Ward and Williams are absent […]

Amari Cooper Day-To-Day

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that wide receiver Amari Cooper's (ankle) MRI exam came back negative and he's day-to-day. Cooper undergoing an MRI exam is a little concerning, but his foot issues from the preseason haven't slowed him down at all in the first three weeks and he appears to be just fine […]

Chris Godwin Not Seen At Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) was not seen at practice on Thursday after also sitting out on Wednesday. Godwin's injury didn't seem very serious earlier this week, but two missed practices ahead of Week 4 against the Rams should get your attention. He'll need to at least be limited on Friday to […]

Surgery Not Recommended For Saquon Barkley

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that no surgery has been recommended for running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) for his high ankle sprain, and the head coach also said the team has no plans to put Barkley on Injured Reserve at the moment, according to a source. Shurmur isn't putting a timeline on […]

Kerryon Johnson A High-End RB2 In Week 4

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson could be in line for a big Week 4 performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson had a tough time running the ball against a solid Eagles run defense in Week 3 but should be able to find more room this week against a Chiefs Defense that allows 6.2 […]

Kenny Golladay Poised To Bounce Back In Week 4

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is in an excellent position to bounce back from a disappointing Week 3 performance with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town. Currently leading the Lions in targets by a mile with 27, Golladay should get more than his fair share of opportunities in Week 4 against an unimposing […]

T.J. Hockenson Not A Trustworthy Week 4 Option

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to get back on track in Week 4 after two consecutive one-catch weeks. Hockenson lit up the fantasy world after a 131-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 1, but has totaled just two catches for eight yards since then. The No. 8 pick in the 2019 NFL draft […]

Matthew Stafford A Solid Week 4 Option

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a chance to rebound from a mediocre start in Week 3 with a potentially high-scoring game against the Kansas City Chiefs on deck. The Chiefs are susceptible to the run, but the good news for fantasy owners is the game script will likely force Stafford to the air as […]

Tarik Cohen In Hot Water With Head Coach

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy was not happy about running back Tarik Cohen live streaming a video on Instagram of the team's locker room after their Monday night win over the Redskins. "I think it's something that [what] you need to do is you learn from it. It was a mistake and nothing that […]

Parris Campbell Could Have A Big Game In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell has shown some flashes through four weeks, but he hasn't been extremely consistent. Heading into Week 4, the potential for him to have a big week is there. Starting wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) is dealing with an injury that could sideline him for the week, and the Oakland […]

Eric Ebron Needs A Touchdown In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron relies on touchdowns for his value. In Week 4, he has the chance to get back to his productive ways. The Oakland Raiders are 29th in the NFL in passing defense, and they are dealing with injuries to three different linebackers on their team. The Colts have the potential […]

T.Y. Hilton A WR2 If He Plays

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) has been dealing with an injury all week. Against the Oakland Raiders in Week 4, he has some huge upside. However, he has to be on the field to do so. If he's unable to go, you're not playing him. If he does play, he'll be at home […]

Marlon Mack An RB2 In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack leads the NFL in carries through three weeks with 61. In Week 4, he has a chance to have an output similar to his Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Oakland Raiders can be had through the air, but their run defense is just 16th in […]

Jacoby Brissett Could Be A QB1 In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been a pleasant surprise through three weeks. He's currently 15th in the NFL in quarterback points per game at 18.2. In Week 4, he has a chance to be a legitimate QB1. The Colts are playing at home against an Oakland Raiders Defense that has struggled to stop teams […]

Colt McCoy Close To Return

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy (leg), who had three offseason leg surgeries, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since mid-August. Starter Case Keenum (foot) is currently in a walking boot and is questionable to play in Week 4 against the Giants, but head coach Jay Gruden said that rookie […]

Tyler Higbee Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) was limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 3. Higbee could only wind up missing the one game, but we'll have to keep an eye on his status the rest of the week. If he returns to face the Buccaneers, Higbee will be a […]

Jalen Ramsey Away For Personal Reasons

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey will be away from the team because of the birth of his daughter. Head coach Doug Marrone said in a statement that Ramsey will return to the team when he's ready. The shutdown corner demanded a trade last week and also missed practice on Wednesday due to a back injury […]

Darren Waller A High-Volume TE1

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has quickly established himself as one of the top-tier players at the position this year. He's second in the NFL in receptions (26) and ranks third among tight ends with 29 targets and 267 receiving yards. The 26-year-old has yet to find the end zone in 2019, but he […]

Damiere Byrd On Week 4 Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Byrd could be questionable for Week 4 against the Seahawks, but he shouldn't be in starting lineups in standard-sized leagues to begin with. He's been running in three-receiver sets with Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk, and the 26-year-old has […]

Rashaad Penny Still Not Practicing

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday after he was inactive in Week 3. Penny injured his hamstring late last week in practice, and it's clearly still bothering him. He could be questionable again for Week 4 against the Cardinals and will need to get in some practice repetitions later this […]

Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin Miss Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Mike Williams (back) and Travis Benjamin (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. In addition, kicker Michael Badgley (groin), tight end Virgil Green (groin) and cornerback Casey Hayward (back) all sat out. It'd be a shame if Williams missed a mouth-watering Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins. He'll need to get […]

Tyrell Williams A WR3 Versus Banged-Up Defense

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams will look to extend his three-game touchdown streak this week when the team travels to Indianapolis to face the Colts. The 28-year-old has displayed a terrific rapport with Derek Carr in his first year with the quarterback as he leads the team in red zone targets (3) and is […]

Josh Jacobs Looking To Rebound This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs will look to rebound this week after a difficult matchup in Week 3. The rookie came into Sunday's game versus the Vikings battling an illness as well as a minor hip issue during the week, but he appears fully healthy going into Week 4 versus the Colts. The Indianapolis […]

Melvin Gordon Ending Holdout, To Report Thursday

According to sources, Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is ending his contract holdout and will report to the team on Thursday. He will not play in Week 4 against the Dolphins, but he's planning to be back in the fold with his teammates moving forward. It's bad news for Austin Ekeler owners, although […]

Derek Carr A Desperation Streamer In Week 4

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has yet to top 20 fantasy points in a game this season, but we may see this streak end in Week 4. The team will travel to Indianapolis to take on a Colts Defense that has given up the seventh-most points to quarterbacks this season (20.6 PPG). With the Raiders […]

Emmanuel Sanders, Royce Freeman Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (quadriceps) and running back Royce Freeman (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders has been quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite weapon through three weeks, but he has bust potential as a WR4/flex if he's going up against Jaguars shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey this Sunday, especially if he's not […]

LeSean McCoy A Limited Participant Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Shady may not be 100 percent for Week 4 against the Lions, but he'll continue to have RB2 upside if Damien Williams (knee), who didn't practice Wednesday, misses another game. McCoy had eight carries for 54 yards […]

Case Keenum Still The Redskins Starter

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that quarterback Case Keenum remains the starter under center. The problem is that Keenum is dealing with a foot injury and didn't practice on Wednesday. His status for Week 4 against the Giants is in question. Colt McCoy is an option to replace Keenum if he can't play, […]

Jimmy Graham Taken Off Injury Report

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin, quadriceps) was removed from the Week 4 injury report on Wednesday and is expected to play on Thursday night against the Eagles. Graham is still a red-zone weapon for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but Green Bay's offense has really struggled and Graham hasn't had a catch since Week […]

Xavier Grimble Placed On Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed tight end Xavier Grimble (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It's the corresponding move after the team traded for Nick Vannett on Tuesday night. Starter Vance McDonald (shoulder) is dealing with an AC sprain but night miss any games. Vannett will serve as depth for the time being and is a […]
