Lions Defense Stifles The Patriots

The Detroit Lions defense looked like a different unit in Sunday's 26-10 win against the Patriots.

Not only did they Lions contain Rob Gronkowski, but they also got pressure on Brady, […]

Cardinals Not Committing To Backup Behind Josh Rosen

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks wouldn't commit to who rookie quarterback Josh Rosen's backup will be heading into Week 4 against the Seahawks.

Kelvin Benjamin Fails To Perform Again

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin failed to make a big impact on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Benjamin led the team in targets with five, but only managed three receptions for 29 yards. The Bills receiving corps has been a disappointment this season and Benjamin is no exception. Benjamin has a chance to prove […]

Brent Grimes Playing Against Steelers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) is active in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night. His presence is good news for a beat up secondary that will try to slow down Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown. Rookie running back Ronald Jones III remains a healthy scratch, while rookie […]

David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert Out Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) are both inactive in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night.

Ravens Set NFL Red-Zone Mark

The Baltimore Ravens offense has been tough to stop this season, especially once they get into the red zone.

A key to […]

Mark Andrews Has Gained Separation Among Ravens Tight Ends

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Mark Andrews has been impressive through the first three weeks of his professional career.

Charles Clay Struggles Again Sunday

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay repeated his forgettable performance Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Clay ended with two receptions for 18 yards on three targets.

Colts Release Christine Michael

Indianapolis Colts running back Christine Michael was released on Monday, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

C.J. Anderson Scores Rare Touchdown

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson was unproductive outside of the receiving touchdown that he had against the Bengals on Sunday.

Zay Jones Stays Cold Against the Vikings

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones had another underwhelming performance Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The receiver ended his day with one reception for 17 yards on one target.

Justin Jackson Added To Active Roster

The Los Angeles Chargers signed rookie running back Justin Jackson to the active roster from the practice squad and waived running back Detrez Newsome in a corresponding move. Jackson was a seventh-round pick and will back up Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. Jackson won't have any immediate fantasy value.

49ers To Work Out Tom Savage

The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in free-agent quarterback Tom Savage for a workout on Monday, according to a source. Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, so the Niners need more depth at the position behind C.J. Beathard, who will now be the starter. Savage won't be […]

LeSean McCoy To Be Day-To-Day This Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) is progressing well and will be day-to-day this week.
