Markus Wheaton, Kamar Aiken Among Roster Casualties

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receivers Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken, quarterback Joe Callahan and running back Matt Jones as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players this weekend. It's a bit surprising that both Wheaton and Aiken were let go with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) set to miss the first couple weeks of the […]

Tom Savage Doesn't Survive Final Cuts

The New Orleans Saints released quarterback Tom Savage this weekend after they traded for Teddy Bridgewater this week. The writing was on the wall for Savage once the team acquired Bridgewater. Taysom Hill will be the No. 3 behind Bridgewater and Drew Brees.

Browns Release Devon Cajuste

The Cleveland Browns released tight end Devon Cajuste on Sunday. Cajuste had been impressing in training camp and the preseason, so it's a minor surprise that he didn't make the final roster. The Browns will go with David Njoku, Darren Fells, Orson Charles and Seth DeValve.

Cardale Jones Waived

The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.

Matt Kalil Put On IR, Daryl Williams Returns To Practice

The Carolina Panthers placed left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Sunday. Kalil underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee after consulting with Dr. James Andrews. Kalil is eligible to return after Week 8. Meanwhile, right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) returned to practice on Sunday after dislocating his right patella and tearing […]

Joe Webb Re-Signs With Texans

The Houston Texans re-signed quarterback Joe Webb on Sunday, according to his agent, David Canter. Webb will join Brandon Weeden as the backups to Deshaun Watson. Webb is completely off the fantasy radar.

Mike Gillislee To Sign With Saints

Free-agent running back Mike Gillislee will sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after being cut by the Patriots on Saturday, according to a source. This move makes sense after the team also cut Jonathan Williams on Saturday. Mark Ingram will also serve a four-game suspension to open the year, so […]

Bills Will Lean on Stephen Hauschka Again in 2018

Consistency and reliability -- two essential traits to have as an NFL kicker. The Buffalo Bills will need this from Stephen Hauschka yet again if they are to sneak their way into the playoffs like they did last season. Like Justin Tucker in Baltimore, Hauschka will be looked upon more often than not. In Hauschka's […]

Eddy Pineiro Headed To Injured Reserve

Oakland Raiders kicker Eddy Pineiro is headed to the Injured Reserve. The rookie kicker was competing with long-time veteran Mike Nugent for the job. Pineiro played in only one preseason game this year, where he went a perfect three for three on field goals, but then missed time due to a groin injury. The job […]

Chris Warren III Lands On IR With Knee Injury

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Chris Warren III is headed to Injured Reserve and will have knee surgery. Warren III played exceptionally well all preseason and was competing for a roster spot with Deandre Washington. Warren III will be able to rejoin the team after Week 6, per the NFL injured reserve rules.

DeAndre Washington Makes 53-Man Roster

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington has made the final roster despite missing time this preseason with a knee injury. Washington didn't play in the final three preseason games for the Raiders, as he had minor surgery on his knee. It was speculated that he could be cut since rookie Chris Warren III was playing […]

Michael Johnson Back With The Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed defensive end Michael Johnson on Sunday. Johnson was one of the roster casualties over the weekend, but apparently there was a change of heart by Cincinnati brass. He had one year remaining on his deal before he was cut, and he re-signed for one season. It's uncertain if it was a […]

De'Angelo Henderson Heads Up NYJ Practice Squad

The New York Jets signed running back De'Angelo Henderson to their practice squad on Sunday. He joins S Brandon Bryant, WR Deontay Burnett and OLB Frankie Luvu, with six spots still open on the squad. Henderson and Burnett are the most notable. The former Denver Broncos running back is just 25 years old, and he […]

Breshad Perriman To Work Out For Jets

Free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman (Ravens) is scheduled to work out for the New York Jets on Monday, a source said. The Ravens threw in the towel on the fourth-year receiver out of UCF after a mostly unproductive three-year run in Charm City. He racked up just 10 receptions for 77 yards last season, so […]

Christian Hackenberg Lands On Cincy's Practice Squad

The Cincinnati Bengals are signing quarterback Christian Hackenberg to their practice squad, a source said Sunday. The signal caller, who failed to make the Philadelphia Eagles' 53-man roster this summer, has experience with offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and some familiarity with Jim Haslett, as he was a consultant at Penn State back in 2005 when […]

Deontay Burnett Signed To Jets Practice Squad

The New York Jets signed wide receiver Deontay Burnett to the practice squad on Sunday. Burnett and rookie QB Sam Darnold played together at Southern California, and beat writer Manish Mehta received this text from a USC Insider: "Getting Burnett is a steal. He (and) Sam will be the duo when they put him on […]

Byron Marshall Expected To Land On IR

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall (knee) is expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list due to sprained anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee. It's likely he'll be designated to return, so he could potentially help the team in November and December. Adrian Peterson, Rob Kelley, Chris Thompson and Samaje Perine […]

Jamison Crowder In Line For Big Season From Slot

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season and he could be a big-time producer with QB Alex Smith under center. Smith leads the NFL with 72.5 percent of his passes targeting the slot receiver since the start of the 2015 season. Crowder is […]

Broncos Place Su'a Cravens on Injured Reserve

After missing Denver's first three preseason games with knee soreness, safety Su'a Cravens played well in his return to the field for the Broncos final preseason game. Unfortunately, it came at a cost, as his knee does not seem to have responded well and the Broncos have subsequently placed him on Injured Reserve. After a […]

The Time Is Now For Josh Doctson

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson will serve as the team's No. 1 receiver in 2018, heading up a youth movement among the receivers corps. The team kept six receivers, Doctson, Paul Richardson, Jamison Crowder, Maurice Harris, Trey Quinn and Cam Sims, and none of the receivers older than 26. Doctson is the only receiver […]

Paul Richardson Is Washington's Elder Statesman

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson is only 26 years old, but he is the oldest wideout on the team's 53-man roster. There is a youth movement in D.C., after veteran Brian Quinn was jettisoned in Saturday's roster cuts. Richardson is expected to start opposite Josh Doctson, and he has the potential to be a […]

Chris Thompson To Reprise Third-Down Role

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson made the 53-man roster and he is expected to resume his role as the team's third-down back. He isn't likely to see more than a handful of sniffs per game unless something happens to Adrian Peterson or Rob Kelley to force them off the field for a lengthy absence. […]

Rob Kelley Expected To Be Primary Backup

Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley is expected to serve as the immediate backup to veteran Adrian Peterson in the team's backfield. While the signing of Peterson splashed cold water on Kelley's overall value, there is still some fantasy appeal here. Peterson is 33 years old, and he hasn't played a full 16-game schedule since […]

Samaje Perine Makes The 53-Man Roster

The Washington Redskins elected to keep running back Samaje Perine on the 53-man roster, as he edged out Kapri Bibbs. The latter was signed to the practice squad on Sunday. The fourth-round pick from 2017 still has an uphill climb back to fantasy relevance, as veteran Adrian Peterson tops the depth chart, with Rob Kelley […]

Isaiah McKenzie Gets Another Shot On The 53-Man Roster

After waiving Denver Broncos wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie on Saturday, the Broncos announced they've brought the second-year WR back after placing safety Su'a Cravens on Injured Reserve due to a lingering knee ailment. With the presence of wideouts Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton and Daesean Hamilton, it's not likely McKenzie sees many snaps at receiver if […]

Redskins Add Kapri Bibbs, Seven Others To Practice Squad

The Washington Redskins re-signed running back Kapri Bibbs to the practice squad on Sunday, a day after trimming him from the 53-man roster. The team also re-signed WR Simmie Cobbs Jr., TE Matt Flanagan, WR Darvin Kidsy, DB Kenny Ladler, C Cassanova McKinzy, OT Timon Parris and DL JoJo Wicker to the squad. Kidsy showed […]

Kenny Golladay Expecting A Big Season

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has set high expectations for himself and believes he is prepared to make good on his goals. Golladay stated, "I'm trying to make a whole lot of plays for this team," according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. He opened his rookie season on a high note, […]

Kerryon Johnson Will Be A Special Player

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson is in a position to transform the Lions offense this season. The rookie ball carrier has impressed this preseason, and while he will be splitting time with LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, Johnson is by far the best back on the roster. Even Blount believes Johnson will have […]

Dwayne Washington Cut By Detroit

The Detroit Lions waived running back Dwayne Washington on Saturday. The move isn't surprising, as Washington didn’t receive a carry during the preseason until the final game. However, in that game against Cleveland he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

Matt Cassel Wins Lions Backup Quarterback Job

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel has won the preseason battle to be the team’s backup quarterback, as Jake Rudock was cut during Saturday’s wave of roster cuts. Cassel and Rudock had been competing to back up Matthew Stafford this preseason. Cassel was the front-runner entering camp based off of his experience in the league. Meanwhile, […]
