Jeremy McNichols Cut From Practice Squad

The Indianapolis Colts released running back Jeremy McNichols from the practice squad on Thursday and added offensive tackle Will Holden to the practice squad in a corresponding move. McNichols was drafted by the Niners last year in the fifth round but never panned out and didn't record a single carry.

49ers Unsure About Marquise Goodwin's Status

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team is unsure if wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) will play in Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin did not practice on Wednesday, but he'll have a chance to suit up if he can get in a practice the rest of the week. He did not […]

Sony Michel Preparing As If He'll Play

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) said he is preparing this week as if he'll play in Week 2 against the Jaguars. The Patriots may need Michel active if Rex Burkhead (concussion) can't play. Michel missed Week 1 and valuable time in the preseason and training camp, so his role is in […]

Rex Burkhead Took Part In Individual Drills Wednesday

Although New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (concussion) was listed as out in practice on Wednesday, he was on the field and in pads during the afternoon session and took part in individual drills. It's a good sign that Burkhead at least did something, but it's unclear if he's passed the concussion protocol at […]

Josh Gordon To Be Targeted More

The Cleveland Browns are expected to target wide receiver Josh Gordon more in Week 2 against the Saints. “No doubt,” head coach Hue Jackson said. “Josh, when he’s going like we know he can, he has an opportunity to make plays. He’s got to continue to work to be in the right spot. We’ve got […]

Corey Grant To Be Used More?

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks the team should have gotten running back Corey Grant more involved in the Week 1 win over the Giants. “I think if we knew that early in the week [we'd be without Fournette], during the course of the game I think that’s a little bit different scenario for […]

Leonard Fournette Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Thursday. This doesn't come as a surprise, as head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that Fournette will test his hamstring on Friday before they determine if he'll play against the Patriots. All indications point to Fournette playing on Sunday, even if he […]

Davante Adams To Be Limited Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. It's good news and suggests Adams will be fine to play in Week 2 against the Vikings, barring a setback. However, Adams may need to be downgraded a bit […]

Aaron Rodgers Sitting Out Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with the rehab group again on Thursday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Rodgers will try to do more Thursday. “I’m sure he’s sore today. This is no layup. That’s why it’s a day to day situation," McCarthy said. Rodgers won't need a full practice in […]

Vance McDonald A Low-End TE2 If He Plays

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) is tentatively expected to play in Week 2 after missing most of the preseason and Week 1's game against the Cleveland Browns with a foot injury. McDonald returned to practice on Wednesday, which tentatively puts him on track to play against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. McDonald […]

Ravens Defense Knows It Must Improve In Week 2

The Baltimore Ravens defense is coming off a dominating Week 1 performance, but the Ravens know they must be better against the Cincinnati Bengals if they want to earn the win on Thursday night. Baltimore held Buffalo to three points and 153.0 total yards last week. The Ravens also registered six sacks and picked off […]

Andy Dalton Looks To Duplicate Week 1 Efficiency

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was one of the league's most efficient quarterbacks in Week 1. Dalton went 21-for-28 through the air against the Indianapolis Colts, finishing the day passing for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Though he threw an interception, he ended up with a respectable 109.7 Passer Rating. Dalton and company will host […]

Janarion Grant Is Questionable For Week 2

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Janarion Grant (hand) is questionable for Week 2's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday. The rookie apparently suffered the injury during practice this week, as he was not on the team's initial injury report. He was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. While Grant doesn't factor much into the […]

A.J. Green Ready For Baltimore

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green should be considered a must-start option on Thursday night when his team hosts the Baltimore Ravens. Green was as efficient as they come from a fantasy perspective in Week 1, catching six passes for 92 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Colts. He is the favorite […]

Joe Mixon Making RB1 Case

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to repeat his Week 1 success on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Mixon was one of the most versatile fantasy backs during the opening weekend, rushing the ball 17 times for 95 yards and a score. He was also a favorite option of quarterback Andy Dalton […]

Hayden Hurst, Willie Henry Out For A Few More Weeks

The Baltimore Ravens will be without rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) and defensive tackle Willie Henry (hernia) a couple more weeks. Both players missed the Ravens season-opening win over Buffalo. Hurst 's timetable was three to four weeks, so it remains to be seen when he is available. When the rookie does return, he […]

Maurice Canady Ruled Out For Week 2

Baltimore Ravens reserve cornerback Maurice Canady (thigh) will miss Thursday's clash against the Cincinnati Bengals. Canady did not practice all week after reportedly tweaking the injury against Buffalo. He registered five tackles, with four being of the solo variety in Week 1. The third-year pro originally suffered a "minor strain" during practice in mid-August. Rookie […]

Redskins promote Jehu Chesson

The Washington Redskins added wide receiver Jehu Chesson to the 53-man roster from their practice squad. Chesson replaces rookie Trey Quinn, who was placed on Injured Reserve after undergoing ankle surgery. The 24-year-old saw action in 12 games, mainly on special teams, as a rookie with the Kansas City Chiefs last season. He finished the […]

George Kittle A Strong TE1 in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The sky is the limit for Kittle in this week’s matchup against the Detroit Lions, especially if Marquise Goodwin is unable to suit up. The second-year tight end has showcased freakish athleticism and […]

Dante Pettis Worth Consideration in Deeper Formats

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis shined in his first career game, as the rookie hauled in two passes for 61 yards and one touchdown against one of the top defensive units in the league. There is plenty of reason for optimism, but Pettis’ fantasy value in Week 2 could depend on the health […]

Vance McDonald Gets In Full Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (foot) practiced in full on Wednesday. McDonald is on track to make his season debut after missing Week 1, but he might be eased into action after missing most of training camp as well. Expect both McDonald and Jesse James to split repetitions in what could be a shootout […]

T.J. Logan Logs Full Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back T.J. Logan (ankle) logged a full practice on Wednesday. Logan didn't feature in the team's game last week and looks to be the third running back on the depth chart after David Johnson and Chase Edmonds. Logan has almost no fantasy value unless one or both of those players were to […]

David Johnson Has Limited Practice On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. Johnson was able to play the entire game last weekend with no concerns, and is likely just being rested this week in anticipation of a tough matchup against the Rams in Week 2. Hopefully Johnson is able to return to full […]

Maurice Harris Still In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins reserve wide receiver Maurice Harris (concussion) recently started taking part in individual drills and is making progress, according to head coach Jay Gruden. However, the 25-year-old has not been cleared by team doctors and his status for Week 2 is unknown. Harris has been out since suffering a concussion during the preseason. The […]

Joey Bosa Expected To Be Out For Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot), who visited with Dr. Robert Anderson on Wednesday, has been diagnosed with a bone bruise and is not expected to play in Week 2 against the Bills. There's a chance he could be out longer as well, according to a source. The Chargers were throttled by the […]

Matt Breida Has Favorable Week 2 Matchup

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida averaged 4.2 yards per carry in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Georgia Southern product handled 48 percent of the team’s backfield touches and will likely continue to share the workload with Alfred Morris. However, Breida looked like the more explosive runner and is the better receiver […]

Alfred Morris a Risky PPR Option

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris struggled in Week 1, rushing for just 38 yards on 12 carries, while also losing one fumble. This week he faces a Detroit Lions defense that allowed 32.8 fantasy points to the running back position against the New York Jets on Monday night. Even though the matchup is […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Primed to Bounce Back in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will look to bounce back at home against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. The 26-year-old is coming off of a poor performance, in which he threw three interceptions and managed just nine fantasy points. Even though Marquise Goodwin is questionable to play on Sunday, Garoppolo should have an […]

Chad Williams, Christian Kirk Need To Be More Involved

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford wants to get wide receivers Chad Williams and rookie Christian Kirk more involved heading into Week 2 against the Rams, and head coach Steve Wilks agrees. "Yeah, we've got to spread the ball around a little bit. I think, again, the question was asked about the receivers. I feel really […]

Leonard Fournette Expected To Play In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 2 against the Patriots. The only way he would miss this game is if he has a setback this week. He isn't expected to test the injury until Friday, and he could be a game-time decision with an afternoon start, which makes […]
