Jake Kumerow Still Out

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow (shoulder) remains out of action with a shoulder injury. Kumerow was standing out as the most productive wideout on the team in the first two preseason games, but an injury has kept him sidelined since. Competing for a roster spot, this injury now makes it likely he won't […]

De'Angelo Henderson May Be Roster Casualty

Denver Broncos running back De'Angelo Henderson may not make the final roster, and he's already generating interest from other teams if he becomes available on Saturday. He may lose out to Devontae Booker, Royce Freeman, Phillip Lindsay and Andy Janovich. Henderson had just seven carries for 13 yards in five games in his rookie season. […]

Jordan Reed On Pace To Be Ready For Week 1

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) is on pace to be ready for the regular season opener on the road Sept. 9 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Sony Michel Makes Practice Appearance

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) made his first appearance at practice on Monday since Aug. 1. Michel had a knee scope done on his knee but should be ready for Week 1. However, he missed valuable repetitions in training camp and the preseason, so don't expect him to have much of […]

Delanie Walker Confident He'll Be Ready

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (toe) is "very confident" he'll be ready on Sept. 9 for the regular season opener. The 34-year-old should be ready for the regular season and remains a strong TE1 choice once the elite names come off the board. Walker had 74 receptions for 807 yards and three touchdowns in […]

Josh Gordon Won't Start In Week 1

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said that wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) will not start in the Week 1 opener against the Steelers, even if he is 100 percent healthy. He will play in the game, but he won't start. Gordon got a late start to training camp and came down with a hamstring […]

K.J. Wright Getting Scope On Knee

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) is having a scope done on his knee on Monday, according to head coach Pete Carroll. This might make Wright questionable to appear in the season opener against the Broncos. He is one of the key cogs on their defense and without him, Seattle's already weakened defense would take […]

Doug Baldwin Close To Full Participation

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) did some individual work off to the side in practice on Monday, and he's clearly close to full activities. There was initially some skepticism about whether Baldwin would be ready for Week 1 against the Broncos, but it looks like he's made enough progress to be ready. The […]

Mike Evans Practicing Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (back) was practicing on Monday after sitting out a day after taking a shot to his back in the preseason game against the Lions on Friday. Evans should be fine for Week 1. He's the unquestioned No. 1 wideout on the team and should make for a fine […]

Saquon Barkley Returns To Practice Monday

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday and blew past linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong on a wheel route in seven-on-seven drills. Barkley is just fine and has plenty of time to be ready for the Week 1 opener. The talented rookie will be this team's bell-cow running back, and […]

Denzel Ward Dealing With Back Spasms

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward suffered what appeared to be a serious back injury in the third preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Luckily, it turned out to be just a bout with a back spasms and he has returned to the practice field. His defensive coordinator Gregg Williams chastised the rookie, and said the […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Becomes Highest Paid Receiver In History

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. agreed on a five-year contract extension on Monday that makes him the highest paid receiver in NFL history. He receives a $95 million max deal, with $65 million total guaranteed. Before a serious ankle injury limited him to just four games in 2017, OBJ had opened his […]

Tyrod Taylor Will Not Suit Up For Preseason Finale

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (finger) will not play in the preseason finale Thursday against the Detroit Lions, as head coach Hue Jackson has confirmed that he will rest his starters to get ready for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taylor left the all-important third preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles this past Thursday […]

Baker Mayfield Set To Start Thursday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will make the start in the preseason finale on Thursday against the Detroit Lions. Head coach Hue Jackson confirmed that he will rest his starters in the preseason finale in order to preserve them for the Week 1 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "It opens up for Baker to play […]

Trevor Siemian The Unquestioned Backup

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that quarterback Trevor Siemian is the unquestioned No. 2 behind starter Kirk Cousins. Kyle Sloter, the third-stringer, has had a strong preseason with a passer rating of 111.4 to Siemian's 82.3. However, Sloter has never played in a regular season NFL game, while Siemian has 24 career starts. […]

Everson Griffen Goes Through Full Practice

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen (leg) went through a full practice on Sunday for the first time in two and a half weeks. He sat out the last two preseason games and is unlikely to play in the preseason finale on Thursday. Griffen should be ready to go by the time Week 1 rolls […]

Laquon Treadwell Emerging As Third Receiver

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, who caught three passes for 44 yards in the win over the Seahawks on Friday in the preseason, is improving and has emerged as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. It's nice to hear for the third-year pro, but it's hard to invest much […]

Falcons Sign Giorgio Tavecchio

The Atlanta Falcons announced that they have signed free-agent place kicker Giorgio Tavecchio on Monday. Tavecchio was recently released from the Raiders after he made 16 of his 21 field goal attempts in 2017. Tavecchio is merely insurance for the veteran Matt Bryant. He holds no fantasy value unless Bryant is injured and won't be […]

Michael Roberts Could Be Odd Man Out

Detroit Lions tight end Michael Roberts is currently the odd man out on the tight end depth chart, according to MLive's Kyle Meinke. There's no reason for the Lions to keep four tight ends on the roster, with Luke Willson, Levine Toilolo and Hakeem Valles ahead of Roberts. Valles has produced the most this preseason […]

Andrew Luck Dealing with Foot Injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (foot) is reportedly dealing with a minor foot injury that he suffered on a sack in Week 3 of the preseason against the San Francisco 49ers. Colts head coach Frank Reich noted that the severity of the injury is so small that it is something that Luck would play through […]

Jaguars Comfortable With Receiving Depth

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said the team is "comfortable" with who they have on roster after the season-ending injury to wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee), meaning the team is unlikely to consider free-agent receiver Dez Bryant. With Lee now out for all of 2018, Keelan Cole, Dede Westbrook and Donte Moncrief will likely […]

Robby Anderson's Case Still Under Review

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson's case remains under review by the NFL. Although unlikely at this point, Anderson could still face a suspension from the league despite clearing up his misdemeanor reckless driving charge earlier this summer. Anderson was the team's leading receiver in 2017 and could fit the bill again this year […]

Evan Engram Not Practicing Monday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (head) will not practice on Monday, but he's wearing a helmet and playing catch. The Giants appear to be playing it cautious with Engram. Assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, he should be ready for Week 1. The second-year tight end had an excellent rookie season and should […]

DeVante Parker Not Catching Passes

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) still cannot catch passes and doesn't know if the receiver will be able to play in Week 1 against the Titans. With just two weeks from the regular season opener, it's looking doubtful that Parker will be ready to contribute. The 25-year-old […]

K.J. Wright Receives Treatment On Knee

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) is receiving "medical treatment" on his knee this week. The exact nature of the injury hasn't been confirmed, but Wright may be undergoing a Regenokine "blood-spinning" procedure. He would be expected to be back for the regular season opener against the Broncos on Sept. 9. Wright had a similar […]

Kyle Rudolph Only Has One Preseason Reception

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has been incredibly quiet all preseason long. He finally caught his first reception from Kirk Cousins during Friday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, but it was only for a paltry three yards. That was his lone target of the game. All reports out of training camp have said […]

Giants, Odell Beckham Jr. Closing In On Five-Year Extension

Kavon Frazier Should Be Ready for Week 1

Dallas Cowboys defensive back Kavon Frazier was forced to leave Sunday's preseason game due to a separated shoulder. Frazier was filling in for Xavier Woods, who is out with a hamstring injury. Frazier's departure was immediately a huge concern for the Cowboys defense, but it seems he avoided a serious injury, even saying that he […]

Cole Beasley Hauls in Three Passes on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley caught three passes in Sunday's preseason game, gaining 31 yards. Beasley will certainly have a role in the passing game this season, but on a team that will run most of its offense on the ground with occasional short passes, Beasley may only develop depth value in PPR leagues.

Mike Boone Leading Vikings RB3 Battle

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone has been very impressive throughout training camp and preseason this year. Due to his performance, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune believes that Boone is currently winning the RB3 competition over Roc Thomas. Thomas had an explosive debut in the preseason opener, while Boone had a fantastic performance in […]
