Jimmy Garoppolo Needs To Rebound From Clunker

The San Francisco 49ers need quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to rebound in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Garoppolo looked very shaky in Week 1, playing his first regular season game since suffering a torn ACL last season. Garoppolo squares off against a surprisingly frisky Bengals Defense that recorded four sacks last weekend against the Seattle […]

Mark Ingram, Marquise Brown On Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 2 against the Cardinals. Both players had big Week 1 performances, with Ingram running for 107 yards and two touchdowns and Brown posting 147 receiving yards and two […]

Matt Breida Stepping Into Lead Role

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida should see the bulk of work in Week 2 in Tevin Coleman’s (ankle) absence. Breida handled 15 touches for a meager 37 yards in Week 1 but the entire offense logged a sluggish performance. Without Coleman, Breida should lead the Niners backfield against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the […]

Joe Mixon Not Practicing Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday. Mixon hasn't practiced yet this week and is beginning to look doubtful to play in Week 2 against the 49ers. His practice status on Friday will ultimately tell the story. If he cannot go, Giovani Bernard will step in as the lead back […]

Jordan Reed Has A Chance To Return In Week 2

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) is practicing again on Thursday, and there is more optimism this week that he will play on Sunday against the Cowboys. Reed continues to deal with injuries and missed the season-opening loss against the Eagles. Vernon Davis stepped in and delivered a touchdown with Reed inactive. Reed remains […]

Nick Bosa Up In The Air For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) is still experiencing soreness from his right ankle sprain and wasn't practicing on Thursday for the second straight day. His status for Week 2 against the Bengals is unknown. The second overall pick played sparingly in Week 1 but managed two solo tackles and a sack […]

Derrius Guice Undergoes Surgery Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) underwent surgery to trim a torn meniscus on Thursday, according to sources. Guice is now out indefinitely and is expected to miss the next six to eight weeks. The second-year back missed all of his rookie season with a torn ACL to his other knee. If you don't […]

Kyler Murray Loses Starting Tackle

Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Quarterback Kyler Murray's protection will suffer with the loss of his right tackle, and he took five sacks in Week 1. The Baltimore Ravens were one of the best defenses against the quarterback position in […]

Tavon Austin Dealing With Concussion

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin is dealing with a concussion this week and is in the league's protocol. As a result, Cedric Wilson is getting work in the return game at practice. Austin remains mostly a gadget player for the Cowboys, as he caught his only target for eight yards in the Week 1 […]

O.J. Howard Not A Great Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard doesn't make a great start against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Howard caught four balls for 32 yards on five targets in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. The Panthers are a superior team, and they can control the clock. The Bucs lost 31-17 last […]

Le'Veon Bell To Get MRI For Shoulder

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) will not practice on Thursday and will undergo an MRI exam for his shoulder soreness. Head coach Adam Gase is still hoping that Bell can play on Monday night against the Browns. It's a tough situation with the Jets Week 2 game being on Monday night, and […]

Sam Darnold Could Miss Multiple Weeks With Mono

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) could miss several weeks with mononucleosis. Darnold has already been ruled out for Week 2's Monday night affair against the Browns. The Jets have already signed Luke Falk to back up Trevor Siemian for however long Darnold will be out. With Siemian […]

Derrius Guice Could Undergo Surgery

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) is expected to get a second opinion on his injury. In the event that the sophomore would have to undergo surgery, Guice could miss up to six to eight weeks. Guice was able to suit up for the first time in the team's loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, […]

Demaryius Thomas Could Play Without Practicing

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that he hopes wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) can practice by Saturday. Gase also said that Thomas can play on Monday night against Cleveland without practicing. Thomas has yet to play in a regular season game since tearing his Achilles with the Texans last year. If he […]

Josh Doctson Going On Injured Reserve

The Minnesota Vikings are placing wide receiver Josh Doctson (leg) on the Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. The former Redskins first-round pick will be a candidate to return later this year. Doctson has been a first-round bust, but he was hoping to maybe carve out a role in Minnesota's offense this year […]

Albert Wilson Trending In Wrong Direction

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. After aggravating his calf injury in the Week 1 blowout to the Ravens, it's looking like Wilson won't be active in Week 2 against the Patriots. You should be making plans to be without him if you […]

Quincy Enunwa's Season Is Over

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a neck injury in the Week 1 loss to the Bills. Enunwa also missed the entire 2017 season due to a serious neck issue after injuring himself in training camp, but it's unclear if this new neck issue […]

A.J. Green Out Of Walking Boot

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) is out of his walking boot and said he ran on Tuesday without any pain. However, there's still no timetable for his return. Green will miss at least a few more weeks, but he should remain stashed in most fantasy formats. Until Green makes his return, Tyler Boyd, […]

Joe Mixon Remains Day-To-Day

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that running back Joe Mixon (ankle) remains day-to-day ahead of Week 2 against the 49ers. The goal for Mixon's practice schedule this week is to make sure he's healthy for Sunday. Cincy's lead back is questionable, at best, to suit up this weekend, making him an extremely risky […]

Jordan Reed Remains In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol. The perennially injured Reed missed Week 1 and doesn't look to be on track to returning anytime soon. The veteran Vernon Davis filled in for Reed in the season opener and finished with four receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown in the loss […]

Hunter Henry Has Fractured Knee

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) suffered a tibia plateau fracture to his left knee in the Week 1 overtime win over the Colts. He'll continue to be evaluated, but there is no current timetable for his return. Henry missed all of last season with an injury, too, so he's quickly developing the […]

Bilal Powell Could Become A Factor

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell could carve out a role in the backfield with Ty Montgomery after running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) had an MRI on his shoulder. Bell's status for Week 2 is unclear. If he's forced to miss time, Montgomery would become the immediate benefactor. However, Montgomery has had durability concerns […]

Mike Williams Could Miss Week 2

Per head coach Anthony Lynn, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) could miss the team's Week 2 contest against the Detroit Lions. Williams initially was injured near the end of the Chargers overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts, and on Wednesday Lynn indicated that the injury was somewhat serious. Expect the wide receiver […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Should Get Peppered With Targets

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) has a plus matchup in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. The USC product needed x-rays to make sure his toe was ok but everything came back negative so he's good to go on Sunday. He has a matchup with cornerback Shaquill Griffin on Sunday, which should allow […]

Jaylen Samuels Not An Option In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rushed for just four yards with one catch for two yards on 22 offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Pats. Not only is the stat line brutal, but so is Samuels usage. We heard all preseason how the second-year back is going to have a multifaceted role in […]

Lavonte David Looks To Lead Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David could be busy in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey ran wild on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 with 19 rushes for 128 yards and two touchdowns. He added 10 catches for 81 yards through the air. While this is bad for […]

James Conner Needs More Running Room In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner gained 65 yards on 14 touches in Week 1's debacle of a loss to the Patriots. However, the play-calling and blocking up front didn't exactly put him in a position to succeed. In Week 2 against the Seahawks, Conner returns back home and gets another tough matchup. Seattle held […]

Ben Roethlisberger In Good Spot To Bounce Back

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger opens the home portion of the team's schedule with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Roethlisberger is fresh off of a Week 1 clunker against the Patriots where he went 27 of 47 for 276 yards and interception. However, it wasn't all his fault as the playcalling was questionable and Donte […]

Dontrell Hilliard Out Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) is not practicing on Thursday. Hilliard vultured a touchdown from Nick Chubb in the Week 1 loss to the Titans but was injured shortly thereafter. It's not looking promising for his status heading into Monday night's matchup with the Jets. If he's unable to play in Week 2, […]

Robby Anderson Loses Some Steam

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson's fantasy value will take a hit with quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) potentially out multiple weeks with mononucleosis. Quarterback Trevor Siemian will step in under center, and he's a downgrade from Darnold's throwing arm. Siemian is a "dink-and-dunk" quarterback, which means he's more apt to throwing short passes in […]
