Broncos Defense Re-Enters the Top 10

All things considered, the Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit (mainly the defensive portion) held up well in a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs Monday night. They'll head to East Rutherford this week to take on the Jets in what should result in a much better performance for fantasy owners. After a six-sack performance […]

Cameron Wake Doubtful For Week 5

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Bengals after missing practice all week. With Andre Branch questionable, Miami's defensive line could be in bad shape this Sunday against Cincinnati. That'd be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton. Wake has 12 tackles and one sack through four […]

Corey Liuget Returns From Suspension

The Los Angeles Chargers will welcome back defensive tackle Corey Liuget from his four-game suspension this week. Liuget was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy, but he has sued his former trainer. Liuget will return to a defensive line rotation that is in desperate need of someone who can pressure the quarterback and […]

Trai Turner Will Return In Week 5

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) has been taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Giants after missing the last two games with a concussion. Turner's return is great news for Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and the running game this Sunday.

Jimmy Smith Expected To Play Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh expects cornerback Jimmy Smith to play in Week 5 against the Browns after returning this week from a four-game suspension. Harbaugh has been impressed with the veteran's physical conditioning. An already strong defense will benefit from the return of their grizzled veteran in the secondary. Baltimore remains a strong […]

Caleb Sturgis Gets New Holder

The Los Angeles Chargers' kicking woes date back further than their city name, but they decided to shake things up this week by getting Caleb Sturgis a new holder. Instead of deciding that the last few kickers, all of who were cast-offs who were unable to get jobs with any other team, were the problem, […]

Frank Clark Dealing With Food Poisoning

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that defensive end Frank Clark, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, has been dealing with food poisoning. "He’s been sick a little bit this week," Carroll told KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, "and we’re trying to get him back and get him ready to play, which we think he […]

Jeff Heuerman Not Likely to Repeat in Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman had his best game of the season last week against the Kansas City Chiefs -- picking up 57 yards on four receptions -- and is in line to be the Broncos primary TE moving forward with Jake Butt out for the season. A repeat of last week's production is […]

Chris Carson Will Return In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed on Friday that running back Chris Carson (hip) will return in Week 5 against the Rams after being a surprise inactive in Week 4. However, Mike Davis ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in Carson's absence last Sunday, so it's anyone's guess how much work Carson […]

Courtland Sutton a Deep Sleeper in Week 5

The production hasn't been there for Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, but he has seen at least five targets in three of the Broncos four games this season, which is encouraging. Demaryius Thomas is likely to draw Trumaine Johnson -- with Emmanuel Sanders getting more work in the slot -- and opposing No. 2 […]

No Concern Over Alex Collins' Status

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (knee) was a "full go" in practice on Friday, and head coach John Harbaugh said there is no concern about Collins playing in Week 5 against the Browns. Collins had missed practice on Thursday. What is of concern are Collins' fumbling issues and the fact that Javorius Allen continues […]

Giovani Bernard Out 2-4 Weeks With Knee Sprain

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) will miss two to four weeks with an MCL sprain, according to a source. Bernard was effective with Joe Mixon (knee) out two weeks with a knee sprain of his own, with three touchdowns and 4.8 yards per carry the last two weeks. Mixon immediately jumps back to […]

Trumaine Johnson Ruled Out

New York Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) did not practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Denver Broncos. It's a blow to the Jets defense this weekend, but thankfully they'll be facing the inept Case Keenum, who hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 1. Johnson's absence is a […]

Quincy Enunwa Will Play Against Broncos

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hip), who was a late addition to the injury report this week, has been taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Broncos. He will play, but he's more of a WR3/flex option in a stagnant offense while going up against strong slot cornerback Chris […]

Evan Engram, Olivier Vernon Ruled Out

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) and defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 5 against the Panthers. Engram isn't expected to return for another week or two, so his absence won't be a surprise. Rhett Ellison should continue to be the team's main tight end, but he […]

Sterling Shepard, Eli Apple Will Play

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back), cornerback Eli Apple (groin), defensive tackle Damon Harrison (knee) and wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee) are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Panthers and will play on Sunday. With quarterback Eli Manning checking down often, Shepard has become somewhat of a safety […]

Demaryius Thomas Unlikely to Break Out in Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has had a disappointing -- to put it kindly -- start to the 2018 season. Despite leading his team in targets, Thomas currently sits 64th among WRs in fantasy points per game (prior to Thursday Night Football) which puts him behind the likes of Tavon Austin, Ryan Grant, and […]

Josh Doctson In Walking Boot

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) was seen in a walking boot at practice on Friday, according to a source. Doctson was injured in practice this week and looks unlikely to play on Monday night in a good matchup against the Saints leaky secondary. It's possible Doctson could miss multiple games, too, depending on […]

Adrian Peterson Moving Well In Practice

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) was moving around well in practice on Friday and looks good to go for Monday night against the Saints. Peterson has looked spry so far through three games and is coming back fresh off the team's bye week. In what could be a high-scoring game, Peterson has volume-based […]

Dalvin Cook Likely To Be Questionable

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) missed practice again on Friday, but head coach Mike Zimmer said on Thursday that Cook would probably be listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook looks more doubtful than questionable after not practicing all week. You should have no plans to use him this weekend. […]

C.J. Uzomah Could Be Main Tight End

ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell thinks that Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah has moved ahead of Tyler Kroft as the team's main pass-catching tight end with Tyler Eifert (ankle) likely done for the season. Uzomah has just seven catches on eight targets for 74 yards and a touchdown through four games, but expect his usage to […]

Giovani Bernard, John Ross Out Against Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and wide receiver John Ross (groin) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Dolphins. The good news for Cincy is that Joe Mixon (knee) is back from his knee injury, and he will immediately enter the RB1 conversation as the workhorse back against Miami. Ross has […]

Emmanuel Sanders Draws a Favorable Week 5 Matchup

45.6 percent of the routes that Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has run this season have come from the slot. Not an astronomical number by any means, but seeing how Golden Tate, Jarvis Landry, and Dede Westbrook (who have all worked primarily from the slot this season) combined to average 104 receiving yards against […]

Damarious Randall, Christian Kirksey Should Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns cornerback Damarious Randall (heel) and linebacker Christian Kirksey (flu) will be questionable for Week 5 against the Ravens, but both players should be fine, according to head coach Hue Jackson. It's good news for a Browns defense that is looking to slow down a determined Joe Flacco in Week 5. Randall has been […]

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway Off Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and Antonio Callaway (knee) have both been taken off the Week 5 injury report and will play against the Ravens. It's a tough matchup, but Landry is the team's unquestioned top wideout and is a must-play in fantasy, especially PPR leagues. Callaway has intriguing upside but hasn't been […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Frustrated With Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has yet to score a touchdown through four games, is frustrated with the direction of the offense so far. "How come we can’t throw the ball for more than 20 yards? How come we don’t attempt or try to throw the ball for more than 20 […]

Steelers Want To Get James Conner More Involved

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has underwhelmed since his big season opener, and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner thinks it's his fault. “I probably just need to do a better job heating him up,” Fichtner said, referring to giving Conner more carries. “It’s just like quarterbacks, too. You get into a rhythm. And all good […]

Dolphins Not Looking To Get Kenyan Drake Involved More

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said the team will continue "splitting" snaps between running backs Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore. In the blowout loss to the Patriots in Week 4, Drake carried the ball just three times for three yards while Gore had 11 attempts. For the season, Gore has 35 carries to Drake's […]

Phillip Lindsay a Flex Option Week 5

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is a victim of circumstance. Clearly an extremely gifted back, Lindsay just so happens to share the backfield with another talented rookie in Royce Freeman - each eating into the other's fantasy value. The Broncos draw a Jets defense in Week 5 which has been middle of the pack […]

D'Onta Foreman On Track To Return In A Couple Of Weeks

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) is doing well in his rehab and is "on track" to return in a couple of weeks. With Lamar Miller not standing out through four weeks and now injured, Foreman has a chance to return and make his case for lead-back duties […]
