Patriots Cut Brandon Bolden, Riley McCarron

The New England Patriots cut running back Brandon Bolden, wide receiver Riley McCarron and tight end Will Tye on Saturday. McCarron is a surprising cut because of his youth, but he wasn't able to win a spot and help out with depth with Julian Edelman suspended the first four games. Both McCarron and Bolden could […]

Jake Kumerow Makes 53-Man Roster

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow made the team's final 53-man roster. Kumerow stood out in training camp and the preseason, but he missed the final couple of games with an injury. He'll be battling for a role behind Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison and Trevor Davis with rookies J'mon Moore, Equanimeous St. […]

Rico Gathers Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers, who made the 53-man roster, was arrested for marijuana possession on Friday in Frisco, Texas. He has posted bond and will be released from jail. It's unclear if Gathers will be facing a suspension from the league. Either way, he's at best third on the depth chart behind Blake […]

Alfred Morris Could Be Starter In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris could be the starter in Week 1 against the Vikings with Jerick McKinnon (knee) out for the year. Matt Breida will most likely be the backup to Morris, with special teams ace Raheem Mostert available in emergency situations. Morris and Breida should both be owned in all fantasy […]

Terence Newman Announces Retirement

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Terence Newman announced his retirement on Saturday. He was set to enter his 16th professional season, but instead he will join the team's coaching staff immediately. Newman spent nine of his 15 seasons playing for head coach Mike Zimmer. The soon-to-be 40-year-old entered the league in 2003 as the fifth overall pick […]

Cowboys Cut Dan Bailey

The Dallas Cowboys cut place kicker Dan Bailey on Saturday. It's a pretty big surprise after Bailey made 15 of his 20 field goal attempts in 12 games for the Cowboys last season. He had also made three of five of his attempts beyond 50 yards, including a long of 56 yards. With Bailey now […]

Jeremy McNichols Doesn't Make Final Roster

The San Francisco 49ers released running back Jeremy McNichols when rosters were cut down to 53 players on Saturday. McNichols was facing an uphill battle to make the final roster after the team signed veteran Alfred Morris. Morris and Matt Breida will share a heavy workload with Jerick McKinnon (knee) done for the year, while […]

Colts Acquire Marcus Johnson

The Indianapolis Colts acquired wide receiver Marcus Johnson from the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday in exchange for tight end Darrell Daniels, according to a source. Johnson will give the Colts depth behind Ryan Grant, Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal, but he's not fantasy relevant. Daniels will help the Seahawks get by with Ed Dickson still […]

Matt Breida Medically Cleared

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder) has been medically cleared and is "good to go," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. With Jerick McKinnon (knee) done for the year, Breida's role has increased considerably over the weekend, although he's expected to share the lead role with veteran Alfred Morris. Hopefully those that drafted […]

Carson Wentz Not Expected To Start In Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles plan is to start quarterback Nick Foles in the season opener on Thursday against the Falcons over Carson Wentz (knee), according to sources. Wentz's rehab has been a successful process, but the Eagles are taking the cautious approach. Wentz could possibly sit out another week, too, which makes his draft stock entering […]

Seahawks Not Expected To Trade Earl Thomas

The Seattle Seahawks are not expected to trade safety Earl Thomas unless another team steps up in a way no team has to date, according to a source. The Seahawks will not give Thomas away but don't want to give him a contract extension. It remains to be seen if Thomas will hold out into […]

Cowboys Cut Bo Scarbrough

The Dallas Cowboys cut running back Bo Scarbrough on Saturday, according to a source. Dallas will go with Rod Smith and fullback Jamize Olawale behind Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield. Scarbrough is a candidate to join the team's practice squad.

Christine Michael, Jordan Wilkins To Share Workload

There's not a set timetable for Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack to return from his foot injury. While he should be back by Week 3 or 4, his early-season absence will open up snaps for rookie Jordan Wilkins and veteran Christine Michael. Wilkins has flashed some upside, but he's been inconsistent in the preseason. […]

Jack Conklin Activated From PUP

The Tennessee Titans activated offensive tackle Jack Conklin (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. Conklin should be ready before Week 9. He has yet to practice all summer but is one of the better offensive lineman when he's on the field.

Todd Gurley, Jared Goff Are Strong Week 1 Plays

The Oakland Raiders traded edge rusher Khalil Mack over the weekend. Mack finished sixth via Pro Football Focus last season, including fourth against the run. His absence in their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams makes quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley move even higher up on the totem pole. The […]

Jets Cut Clive Walford

The New York Jets cut tight end Clive Walford after attempting to trade him and finding no takers, according to sources. The Jets are going with Eric Tomlinson, Jordan Leggett, Neal Sterling and rookie Chris Herndon IV at the position. Nobody from this group is fantasy relevant.

Tanner McEvoy Claimed by Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have claimed wide receiver Tanner McEvoy off waivers. McEvoy was released by the Seahawks last week Wednesday and was first signed by the Saints three days later, but the Saints then cut him on Saturday. He latched onto the Dolphins and will probably begin the season on the practice squad. At 6'6" […]

Thomas Rawls Doesn't Make Final Roster

The New York Jets cut running back Thomas Rawls on Saturday, according to a source. The move was expected, as Rawls was hurt most of the summer. Gang Greene will go with Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, rookie Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire in their backfield to kick off the regular season.

Zach Zenner Placed On IR

The Detroit Lions placed running back Zach Zenner (back) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he left the final preseason game with a back injury. That will end Zenner's 2018 season.

Leonte Carroo Joins Practice Squad

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Leonte Carroo has joined the team's practice squad after being cut from the active roster, according to a source. Carroo has been a bust as a third-round pick in 2016, catching just 10 passes for 98 yards and one touchdown in his two seasons.

Ed Dickson Says He's Ready

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) said that he's ready for Week 1 against the Broncos. It looks like he'll come off the Non-Football Injury list ahead of the season opener, but he'll likely be behind Nick Vannett as the main pass-catching tight end if he's active. Dickson can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Garrett Gilbert Released By Panthers

The Carolina Panthers cut backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert among many moves to trim their roster down to 53 players this weekend. Gilbert was the front-runner to be the backup to Cam Newton, but he lost out on the gig to Taylor Heinicke. Heinicke's experience in offensive coordinator Norv Turner's scheme in Minnesota likely gave him […]

Broncos Cut Carlos Henderson

The Denver Broncos released wide receiver Carlos Henderson on Saturday, according to sources. The third-round pick last year, Henderson didn't play at all in his rookie season due to injury and hadn't reported to training camp because of personal issues. The writing was on the wall when the Broncos drafted rookies Courtland Sutton and Daesean […]

Roger Lewis Released By Giants

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (concussion) has made progress and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks. Engram should be good to go for the season opener, and fantasy owners will want to throw him into their lineups despite the tough matchup. There won't be as many […]

David Johnson Unlikely To Get New Deal Before Season

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson and the team are far apart in talks for a new deal and an extension isn't expected to happen before the season opener, according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora. Johnson is scheduled to make $1.88 million in base salary in the final year of his rookie deal. He […]

Jets Release Charcandrick West, Taylor Bertolet

The New York Jets released running back Charcandrick West and place kicker Taylor Bertolet this weekend as they trimmed their final roster down to 53 players.

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.
