Mike Boone Safely On 53-Man Roster

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone is "safely" on the 53-man roster, according to a source of Chris Tomasson. This is really no surprise as Boone was fantastic all preseason long and was regularly praised by Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer. Boone will be the RB3 behind the talented duo of Dalvin Cook and Latavius […]

Chad Beebe Cut By Vikings

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe was cut from the 53-man roster on Saturday afternoon. Beebe was a bit of a fan favorite, and while he had a decent camp, there was simply too much talent on the roster for him to sneak his way on. Even if he made the team, there was practically […]

Bears Expected To Negotiate Long-Term Deal With Khalil Mack

The Chicago Bears are expected to negotiate a long-term deal with Khalil Mack that should surpass Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald's record-setting deal agreed to this week.

Colts Expected To Release Branden Oliver

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to release running back Branden Oliver on Saturday, according to Stephen Holder of The Athletic.

Bills Cut Former First-Rounder

The Buffalo Bills have released the Browns former first-round pick, wide receiver Corey Coleman. This comes as a bit of surprise given the lack of receiving talent the Bills have on their roster.

Chris Warren III Has Middling Performance To End Preseason

Oakland Raiders running back Chris Warren III had a very average game on Thursday versus the Seahawks. He ended with 12 carries for 42 yards and three receptions for only 10 yards.

Connor Cook Underwhelms In Final Preseason Game

Oakland Raiders quarterback Connor Cook ended the preseason on a low note Thursday versus the Seahawks. Cook ended with only 35 yards and one touchdown from three completions.

Ray-Ray McCloud Continues to Impress

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud keeps making a name for himself before final cuts are made this Saturday.

Rico Gathers Has A Shot To Make Team

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said tight end Rico Gathers has "got a good shot" to make the team's final 53-man roster. Despite Gathers' big body and playmaking ability, he's mostly been fourth on the depth chart in training camp behind Blake Jarwin, Geoff Swaim and rookie Dalton Schultz. Even if Gathers makes […]

Alshon Jeffery Passes His Physical

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) passed his physical on Friday. Jeffery's fantasy value was heavily carried by his nine touchdowns in his first year with the Eagles in 2017. He's still expected to miss the first two weeks of the regular season, which severely damages his already declining fantasy stock heading into the […]

EJ Manuel Shines In Preseason Finale

Oakland Raiders quarterback EJ Manuel posted a fantastic stat line versus the Seahawks Thursday night. He ended with 255 yards and three touchdowns, while only missing four passes. He has been in a competition with Connor Cook for the backup role, but with this final preseason performance, it seems likely that Manuel will reclaim his […]

Vikings Letting Tavarres King Go

The Minnesota Vikings are waiving wide receiver Tavarres King (leg) on Friday with an injury designation. King had a career-high 18 receptions for 240 yards and the first three touchdowns of his NFL career in eight games with the Giants in 2017.

Shane Vereen Going On IR

New Orleans Saints running back Shane Vereen (hand) will be placed on Injured Reserve, according to a source.

Chris Manhertz Coming Off PUP

Carolina Panthers tight end Chris Manhertz (foot) passed his physical and has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday. Manhertz will be the third tight end on the depth chart behind Greg Olsen and rookie Ian Thomas. He can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Floyd has been released on Friday, according to a source. Floyd posted a 1,000-yard season with the Cardinals in his second year in the NFL in 2013. A DUI arrest in 2016 ended his time in Arizona and has really been the downfall in his career so far, as […]

Dolphins Releasing Gavin Escobar

Troy Fumagalli A Candidate For IR

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Troy Fumagalli (hernia) is a candidate to start the season on Injured Reserve after missing all of the preseason.

Browns Cut Jeff Janis

The Cleveland Browns cut wide receiver Jeff Janis on Friday. Janis wasn't expected to make the final 53-man roster, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 27-year-old had only 17 catches for 200 yards and one touchdown in his four seasons with the Packers.

Malik Williams Heading For Second Opinion

Atlanta Falcons running back Malik Williams will seek a second opinion on his injured shoulder. Williams left the Falcons final preseason game against the Dolphins in the third quarter, and did not return to the game. The fact that Williams is seeking a second opinion is extremely concerning. It now looks possible that he will […]

49ers Waive Joe Williams

The San Francisco 49ers are waiving running back Joe Williams on Friday, according to a source. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was a big proponent of Williams and convinced the team's brass to take him in the fourth round last season. Williams just hasn't panned out, mostly because of injuries.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jake Rudock started the final preseason game Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns. He finished 14 of 24 for 114 yards and a touchdown.

Hakeem Valles Has One Reception Against Browns

Detroit Lions tight end Hakeem Valles had one reception on four targets for five yards during Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns.
