Julio Jones Will Not Play Against Jacksonville

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will not suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Falcons third preseason game. Given that the third game is often the one where the starters play the most time, it is now looking as if Jones is not going to suit up for any preseason games. This should […]

Titans Hopeful Rishard Matthews Will Return Soon

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews has missed all of training camp dealing with an undisclosed injury, however, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that he is hopeful the receiver will return shortly.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) could realistically make his preseason debut on Friday against the Seattle Seahawks.

Wendell Smallwood and Matt Jones Could Have Good Games Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Wendell Smallwood and Matt Jones could have good outings on Thursday, making them both potentially solid DFS picks. The two backups are expected to be the only active running backs for Philadelphia's third preseason game. Darren Sproles has already been ruled out and Jay Ajayi is unlikely to play due to […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will play "about a half" in Thursday's preseason game according to coach Doug Pederson. Foles was forced to leave the second preseason game because of a shoulder injury, but he recovered quickly and will be in there to face the Cleveland Browns in the regular season dress rehearsal. If Carson […]

Brice Butler Still Working Through Injury

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Brice Butler (foot) missed the team's game last week and is day-to-day heading into Week 3. However, head coach Steve Wilks is confident that the veteran receiver will be able to play. Butler has a bit of catching up to do, having lost the team's second wide receiver job to either […]

Mike Glennon Still Out Injured

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon (forearm) is still nursing the same injury that kept him out of the team's second preseason game. Although he is making progress, his availability for this weekend's game against the Cowboys is still up in the air. Glennon projects to be the third quarterback on the depth chart, making his […]

Sam Bradford Comfortable In Offense

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford has stated that he has been given a large degree of control over play-calling under offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.

Michael Crabtree Connects For Big Gain On Lone Target

Newly-acquired Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree hauled in his only target from quarterback Joe Flacco in Monday night's preseason match-up with the Colts. The connection was good for a 29-yard gain along the sidelines. Both Crabtree and new teammate John Brown, who was also a free agent signing, have shown early chemistry with their […]

Kenneth Dixon Has Strong Showing Monday Night

Oft-injured Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon had a strong preseason debut Monday night against the Colts.

Dixon will need to continue his strong showing to close out the preseason in an effort to grab […]

John Brown Continues To Surge

Newly-acquired Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown continued his strong preseason campaign on Monday night against the Colts. The veteran made a toe-tap touchdown catch in the back of the end zone to cap off a scoring drive in the first quarter of the preseason match-up. Brown has emerged as one of the bigger headlines […]

Aaron Rodgers May Sit Out Remainder of Preseason

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers may not see any additional playing time in Green Bay’s two remaining preseason games. Rodgers spent Monday working with the scout team.

Lamar Jackson Has A Quiet Preseason Showing

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson had a quiet showing on Monday night against the Colts.

Joe Flacco Looks To Be In Mid-Season Form

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco continued his strong preseason showing on Monday night against the Colts.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Not Ready To Return To Practice

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains out with a soft tissue injury that cost him the chance to play in Saturday's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Texans head coach Bill O'Brien does not have a timetable for Fairbairn's return, but the team does have a backup plan in recent signing Nick Rose. If […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Returns To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who missed Saturday's preseason game for undisclosed reasons, returned to practice on Monday. Whatever the issue was that cost Seferian-Jenkins a chance to play against the Vikings wasn't serious enough to cost him any practice time so far this week, so fantasy owners can safely assume that Seferian-Jenkins is […]

Nyheim Hines Fumbles Again, Fantasy Stock Falling

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines rushed five times for 12 yards and hauled in one of his two targets for nine yards in the team's second preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, his limited workload wasn't his biggest concern, as the rookie fumbled the ball on the opening kickoff of the second half. […]

Mark Barron Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron returned to practice. The former safety has excelled since converting to linebacker, and he is great in coverage. He flies around the field making tackles, which makes him a great play in IDP (individual defensive player) leagues. His return can also help soften the blow of Aaron Donald's absence […]

Antonio Callaway Out, Damion Ratley Takes Advantage

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway (groin) missed practice time on Monday, so fellow rookie wideout Damion Ratley seized the opportunity with extended first-team reps. "To me, I feel more nervous for practice than the game," he said. "Practice is so much faster than the game." The former Texas A&M standout could see a larger […]

Full Steam Ahead For Tyrod Taylor As No. 1 QB

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor appears to be hurtling toward making the start in the regular season opener, and he might be under center for the long haul. "Why? I will tell you the reason why: We are learning a new system, and I think Tyrod needs every rep he can get with the ones." […]

Baker Mayfield Unlikely For First-Team Reps

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has played well during the preseason, but head coach Hue Jackson doesn't appear closer to giving the rookie first-team reps in a game before the preseason ends. "No. No. No, no, no," the coach said Monday. "Everybody is asking me that a ton of times. Why? I will tell you […]

Zane Gonzalez Might Hang Onto His Job

Cleveland Browns placekicker Zane Gonzalez and punter Britton Colquitt might be on the verge of keeping their jobs heading into the regular season. The team brought in placekicker Ross Martin and punter Justin Vogel to challenge, but no one has really grabbed the bull by the horns in training camp or the preseason. "I don't […]

Nyheim Hines Stock Continues To Fall

Through two preseason games, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines continues to be his own worst enemy. He has fumbled four times in two games. Although the team has yet to establish their running back rotation, the fourth-round pick is not doing himself any favors. He continues to be outperformed by veteran Robert Turbin, and […]

Carries For Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis Will Vary

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that the division of carries for running backs Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis will vary from week to week. That's certainly not what fantasy owners want to hear, but it likely will come down to matchups and a hot hand. Vrabel said he would like to see […]

Titans Dealing With Several Injuries On D

The Tennessee Titans placed cornerback Kalan Reed (foot) on the Reserve/Injured list Monday due to a small broken bone in his foot, a league source said.
