Rashaad Penny Struggles In Leading Role

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny surprisingly took the reins on Monday night when the coaching staff decided to stop using Chris Carson for unknown reasons.

Randy Bullock Receives Extension

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Randy Bullock to a two-year contract extension on Tuesday that will run through the 2020 season.

Doug Baldwin Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is still a ways away from returning, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

The New York Giants are signing fullback Elijhaa Penny off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. He could take over for Shane Smith, who struggled in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. Penny had just 31 carries for 124 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and two touchdowns on the […]

Russell Wilson Sacked Six More Times

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson struggled in the team's Week 2 loss to the Bears and was sacked another six times. Wilson has now been sacked 12 times in the team's first two games, and there's not much relief in sight. Wilson still threw two touchdowns during the Monday night showdown, but he also threw […]

Rams Waive Brandon Allen

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving quarterback Brandon Allen on Tuesday, according to a source. He is a candidate to land on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers, but he was attractive to three teams when the Jaguars let him go last year. Sean Mannion will continue to serve as the main and […]

Bills Sticking With Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that the team will stick with rookie quarterback Josh Allen heading into Week 3 against the Vikings. “I thought he did some good things,” McDermott said of Allen. “He's a young quarterback. Each game, we expect him to get a little bit better and grow. That's […]

Taiwan Jones Did Not Suffer Concussion

Buffalo Bills running back Taiwan Jones (head) did not suffer a concussion in Week 2 against the Chargers when he lost his helmet and then took a hit to the head. Head coach Sean McDermott said Jones was bruised and needed stitches to close a wound on his head. Jones is more of a special […]

Ray-Ray McCloud Expected To Practice This Week

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) is expected to practice with the team on Wednesday, meaning that he'll have a chance to make his debut against the Vikings in Week 3. McCloud will help with Buffalo's receiving depth, but he shouldn't be owned in any fantasy leagues.

Bills May Split Defensive Play-Calling Duties

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott took over the defensive play calls in the second half of the Week 2 loss to the Chargers, but wouldn't say if the move would be permanent. McDermott said he and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier are "still working through that." Buffalo allowed only 65 total yards (three rushing yards) […]

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh indicated that there's a good chance that running back Jay Ajayi (back) won't be available in Week 3 against the Colts.

Antonio Brown Not Asking For Trade

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client is not formally asking for a trade after a Tweet was sent out on Monday from Brown's social media account.

Seth DeValve Out Again Tuesday

Cleveland Browns tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. DeValve hasn't played at all this year and is buried on the depth chart when he's healthy, so he is well off the fantasy radar. David Njoku continues to serve as the main pass-catching tight end and has low-end […]

Browns Want To Get Duke Johnson More Work

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said the team needs to get running back Duke Johnson more opportunities moving forward. Johnson only has eight carries (20 yards, 2.5 yards per carry) and three catches for 15 yards in two games in 2018. Johnson is good out in space, but with both Carlos Hyde and rookie […]

Jarvis Landry Limited Again Tuesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) was limited in practice again on Tuesday. There's no indication that Landry's knee injury will keep him out of Thursday's contest against the Jets, so the Browns are likely just resting him on a short week. Landry has a healthy 22 targets (12 catches, 175 yards) through two […]

Joe Haden Expected To Practice This Week

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) had a good week of rehab and is expected to practice this week, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The veteran Haden isn't an IDP force, but a return in Week 3 on Monday night against Tampa Bay would be a good sign for a secondary that has been […]

Brice Butler Returns To Dallas

Free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler Tweeted on Tuesday that he has signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Butler played the last three years with the Cowboys but was released by the Cardinals on Sept. 1. He could be a deep threat for quarterback Dak Prescott. Butler caught 15 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns in […]

Takkarist McKinley Dealing With Groin Injury

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) injured his groin late in the Week 2 win over the Panthers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. McKinley already has two sacks this year, so losing him for Week 3 against the Saints would be bad news for their pass rush and good news for Saints quarterback […]

Sam Bradford May Have One More Chance

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks has remained non-committal as to who will start the team's third game of the season at quarterback. However, because he hasn't expressed an immediate commitment to rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, it may be that Sam Bradford gets one more chance at the starting role. Whoever starts for the Cardinals […]

Titans Re-Sign Nick Williams

The Tennessee Titans re-signed wide receiver Nick Williams on Tuesday. Receiver Cameron Batson and tight end Anthony Firkser were waived in corresponding moves. Williams is in his fifth NFL season and has 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 22 career games. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Eagles Promote Josh Adams

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Josh Adams off of their own practice squad. Adams looked good in preseason games, but there wasn't room for him on the roster once final cuts needed to be made. While the team may have promoted him in order to keep him in the organization because other teams were […]

Tarik Cohen Is Fine

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen (ankle) was listed as questionable to return to the Week 2 game on Monday with an ankle injury late in the game, but head coach Matt Nagy said Cohen was dancing in the locker room after the game and is fine. Cohen was billed as a possible Tyreek Hill-like […]

Larry Fitzgerald Expected To Play In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expects that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will play in Week 3 against the Bears. “We all know that it’s going to be tough to keep Larry off the field," Wilks said.

David DeCastro Unsure If He'll Play In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro offensive guard David DeCastro (hand), who sat out in Week 2, said it's too early to tell if his broken right hand will heal enough to allow him to play in Week 3 on Monday against the Buccaneers. Before last Sunday, DeCastro hadn't missed a game due to injury since the middle […]

Antonio Brown Misses Meetings Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown did not show up for meetings on Monday after he was upset on the field and in the locker room during and after the team's Week 2 loss to the Chiefs, according to several team sources. It's unclear if his absence was cleared by head coach Mike Tomlin. Brown […]

Randy Gregory Expected to Play in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory (concussion) is expected to be able to play in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was forced to miss Week 2 because of a concussion, but has already returned to practice and should be able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game. Gregory's presence […]

DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension. "He's been on fire right now," Jackson told NFL Network's Scott Hanson and Willie McGinest on Monday. "With the way the team is rallying behind him and […]

Eli Apple Unlikely To Play In Week 3

New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple (groin) suffered a groin injury in Week 2 that will likely keep him out this weekend against the Texans. B.W. Webb replaced Apple in the lineup and will likely move into a starting role if Apple is inactive. Apple sitting out this weekend would be an upgrade for Houston […]

Tom Brady Lowering Expectations For Josh Gordon

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is lowering the expectations of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who the Patriots acquired via a trade on Monday. "You know, I hate to make projections and expectations. That's not fair," Brady told Jim Gray on Westwood One on Monday night. "I've never met Josh personally, just like I hadn't […]

Chris Carson Tires Out In Second Half

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson was "gassed" from playing special teams in Monday night's loss to the Bears, which is why he didn't touch the ball at all on offense in the second half. The team also wanted to see what rookie Rashaad Penny could do, too. It seems […]
