Antonio Gates To Suit Up For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is expected to play in Sunday's opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, per Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com. "It's almost like he picked up where he left off, so we'll see what he can do on Sunday," stated head coach Anthony Lynn. It remains to be seen what […]

Ryan Kerrigan Limited In Practice

Washington Redskins starting weakside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan was a limited practice participant on Friday with a hip injury. The hip issue must have just popped up as Kerrigan was not listed on the team's first two injury reports this week. He is expected to play against Arizona on Sunday. Last year, the seventh-year pro had […]

Trey Quinn Next Man Up For Redskins

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn will likely see significant playing time against Arizona in Week 1, as reserve receiver Maurice Harris has been ruled out for the game with a concussion. That leaves Quinn, the last player selected in the 2018 draft, and undrafted rookie Cam Sims as the healthy wideouts behind starters Josh […]

Bills Defense A Sneaky Play In Week 1?

Buffalo Bills defensive players Kyle Williams and Trent Murphy will be in the starting lineup for Week 1 against the Ravens, according to the latest injury report. The Bills-Ravens matchup is not getting much talk about being a high-scoring matchup given the fact that both teams are built more defensively. The Bills may be able […]

Is The Eagles Defense Better In 2018?

The Philadelphia Eagles defense was excellent in their 18-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. The Eagles used the bend-but-don't-break philosophy against the Falcons. The Eagles allowed 299 total yards of offense, although they only permitted the Falcons one touchdown and two field goals in five trips in the red zone. They forced […]

Nigel Bradham To Start In Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles activated outside linebacker Nigel Bradham from the NFL suspended list. Bradham missed the Eagles victory over Atlanta as a result of an incident that took place in 2016. He is expected to be in the starting lineup against Tampa Bay in Week 2. The seventh-year pro is coming off an excellent 2017 […]

Brent Grimes Doubtful for Week 1

Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) is officially doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints. Grimes is a late addition to the injury report after straining his groin in Friday's practice. The veteran corner is probably the only talented player in the entire starting secondary and his a major blow to any chance the Bucs' defense […]

Paxton Lynch Tries Out With Lions

Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch had a tryout with the Detroit Lions on Friday, according to a source. Lynch was a failed first-round pick with the Broncos in 2016 and was cut last weekend. The Lions are already set with veteran Matt Cassel backing up Matthew Stafford, so it's unlikely Detroit would add Lynch.

Corey Coleman Works Out For Cardinals

Free-agent wide receiver Corey Coleman worked out for the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, according to a source. Coleman has so far proven to be a bust in the NFL. He was traded to the Bills from the Browns, but then Buffalo has since released him. Coleman could make for an interesting addition with rookie Christian […]

Rashaad Penny Ready For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (finger) is "ready to go" for Week 1 against the Broncos, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks plan to use all their backs in the season opener, but they will not force feed Penny in his NFL debut, especially after he missed valuable repetitions in training camp […]

LeGarrette Blount Is Lions No. 1 Running Back

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount will start the season listed as the No. 1 running back on the depth chart. It appears, at least to start the season, the Lions will attempt to establish a running attack with Blount to begin games. One of the more intriguing backfields entering Week 1 in a run-friendly […]

Curtis Samuel Officially Ruled Out

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (illness) has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Cowboys. Samuel was never expected to play in the season opener after he had surgery to fix an irregular heartbeat issue. There's a chance he could return in Week 2, but even then he won't be much of […]

Kerryon Johnson Has Plus Matchup In Regular Season Debut

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson faces a Jets front that ranked 24th against the run last year and did not do much to bolster it personnel-wise in the offseason. In every metric imaginable, the Jets defense ranked in the bottom third in fantasy points allowed to the running back position in 2017. It's impossible […]

Tyrell Williams Will Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams (groin) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 1 against the Chiefs. Williams was never in danger of missing the season opener. With Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) out, Williams has a ton of upside in this matchup. He should […]

Desmond Harrison Named Left Tackle

Cleveland Browns undrafted rookie offensive tackle Desmond Harrison has been named the team's starting left tackle entering Week 1 against the Steelers. Joel Bitonio will move back to his original position of left guard. Harrison will draw a tough assignment against Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward right off the bat. The rookie had a handful […]

Keke Coutee, Sammie Coates Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Sammie Coates (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 1 against the Patriots. Will Fuller is also questionable and could be a game-time decision. With three of their receivers ailing, expect Houston to rely a lot on stud wideout DeAndre Hopkins […]

Sony Michel Listed As Questionable

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Texans. Our best guess is that the Pats play it safe and keep Michel out and lean on Rex Burkhead, James White and Jeremy Hill in the season opener. Even if Michel were to be active, he's […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Again Friday

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (groin) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Friday. Lynch might wind up being questionable on the final injury report on Saturday, but we'd expect Beast Mode to be able to suit up on Monday night against the Rams. Lynch is a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 choice […]

Will Fuller Could Be Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) could be a game-time decision in Week 1 against the Patriots. He has been limited all week in practices with a hamstring injury that he suffered in the preseason. Fuller could break out in a full season with quarterback Deshaun Watson under center, but you should be ready […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Questionable

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) are both questionable for Week 1 against the Bengals. Mack was limited in practice again on Friday, but he and Castonzo could both be game-time decisions. If Mack winds up playing, rookie Jordan Wilkins probably won't be worth a flier as a […]

Jermaine Gresham Is Questionable

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Redskins, according to head coach Steve Wilks. Even if Gresham plays this weekend, he's unlikely to have much of a role behind starter Ricky Seals-Jones. Gresham can continue to be ignored in fantasy circles.

Joey Bosa Officially Ruled Out

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot), who was wearing a walking boot on Friday, has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Chiefs. This is definitely a downgrade to the Chargers defense/special teams in Week 1, but they're still worthy of using in fantasy this Sunday. Bosa is an elite IDP […]

Donovan Smith Questionable, Vita Vea Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith (knee) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 1 against the Saints. Rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out. Smith is expected to be able to play in the season opener, and he will try to keep […]

Andy Dalton Looks To Pick Apart Indianapolis

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton will lead his team into battle in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts on the road. He faced the Colts last season on Oct. 29, and he completed 17-of-29 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the 24-23 victory at Paul Brown Stadium. It was one of […]

Joe Mixon Looks For Redemption Against Indy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 and he might have revenge on his mind. He was bottled up for just 19 rushing yards on 11 carries on Oct. 29, 2017 against Indianapolis, one of three games last season where he averaged less than two yards per tote. […]

A.J. Green Looks To Avoid Slow Start

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green is set to open a new season in Week 1 at Indianapolis on Sunday. He is looking for better results early in the season, as well as away from home. In 2017 he posted just 32 receptions, 433 yards and four scores while averaging 13.5 yards per catch on […]

Cincinnati Mostly Healthy For Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert (back), S Clayton Fejedelem (calf), OT Cordy Glenn (shoulder), CB Tony McRae (ankle), LB Vincent Rey (ankle) and TE Mason Schreck (toe) were each removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 1 game with the Indianapolis Colts. Only WR Cody Core (back) remains on the report and […]

David Johnson Still Not Close To New Deal

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson does not expect to sign a new deal before the team's game against the Redskins in Week 1. Johnson is in the last year of his rookie contract. Coming off of his wrist injury, Johnson has to have a great season if he wants to earn what some of […]

Rashaan Evans Won't Play Sunday

Tennessee Titans first-round linebacker Rashaan Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Dolphins. With linebacker Harold Landry (ankle) also out, the Titans are looking a little weak in the interior for the season opener.

Roc Thomas Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Roc Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday but has been ruled out for Week 1 against the 49ers. Wide receiver Stacy Coley (groin) practiced in full and was taken off the final injury report. With Thomas inactive, rookie Michael Boone should be the third back behind Dalvin Cook […]
