Donnel Pumphrey Released From Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles parted ways with running back Donnel Pumphrey on Saturday. There just wasn't room for Pumphrey behind Jay Ajayi, Corey Clement and Darren Sproles. The former fourth-round pick never actually got into a regular season game with the Eagles in his rookie season in 2017.

Patriots Release Mike Gillislee

The New England Patriots released running back Mike Gillislee on Saturday, according to a source. This was the expected course of action all throughout training camp and the preseason with Jeremy Hill outplaying Gillislee for the short-yardage/goal-line role in 2018. While Hill could have decent weeks at the goal line for the Patriots, his fantasy […]

Minnesota Vikings starting center Pat Elflein (ankle, shoulder) was activated off of the PUP list on Saturday morning.

Brandon Zylstra Will Make 53-Man Roster

Minnesota Vikings wideout Brandon Zylstra looks like he will be on the 53-man roster, according to the Star Tribune's Ben Goessling. Zylstra was another Viking who had an impressive camp, which he culminated with a TD catch in the preseason finale. Like most of these fringe players, they have severely limited fantasy upside. Zylstra will […]

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. Coleman was acquired from the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 5 for a seventh-round pick in 2020. Coleman was given an opportunity in Buffalo, […]

Phil Dawson Wins Cardinals Kicker Job

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson has retained his job as the team's kicker over rookie Matthew McCrane.

For the year, Dawson is expected to be a K2 with decent upside […]

Raiders Trade Khalil Mack To The Bears

Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack has been traded to the Bears, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.

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. Warren III had been very impressive this preseason up till this game and was looking to make the final roster. He was in […]

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. He didn't see a ton of playing time, simply for the fact that the Raiders other quarterback, EJ Manuel, was playing so well and put up three […]

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.

Buccaneers Not Committing to Jameis Winston

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is not guaranteed the starting role upon his return from suspension.

Vikings Release Cayleb Jones

The Minnesota Vikings released wide receiver Cayleb Jones on Friday. Jones was already suspended for the first four games due to performance-enhancing drugs, so the writing had been on the wall.

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. Even if he would've made the final roster in Minnesota, he wouldn't have been […]

Eli Rogers Expected To Start On PUP List

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Eli Rogers (knee) is expected to begin the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source.

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.

Michael Floyd Being Released

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. The former Wisconsin Badger was taken in the fifth round by the Broncos. He could be a candidate to return around midseason, but he obviously won't be on the fantasy radar. […]
