Texans Signing Brandon Weeden

The Houston Texans are signing free-agent quarterback Brandon Weeden to be their backup to Deshaun Watson. Weeden hasn't thrown a pass in two years and won't have any fantasy relevance holding the clipboard for Watson in Houston.

Deshaun Watson Ahead Of Schedule

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery, but the team is unsure how much he'll do in spring workouts. Barring any offseason setbacks, Watson should be fully recovered in time for training camp and Week 1 of the regular season. He put up big […]

Luke Kuechly, Julius Peppers May Not Be Ready For OTAs

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (shoulder) and defensive end Julius Peppers (shoulder), who both had offseason shoulder surgeries to fix labrum tears in their right shoulders, may miss organized team activities up through minicamps. Peppers is probably entering the final year of his career, and although he was still effective in 2017, he's expected to […]

No Timetable For Curtis Samuel

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (ankle) has no timetable to return after having surgery to fix ligament damage in his ankle, and he's hoping to be back by training camp this summer. “Straight-ahead (running), very much so. Not a lot of cutting and breaking right now. I think they’re just slowly working him back […]

Broncos Haven't Given Up On Paxton Lynch

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said the team hasn't given up on quarterback Paxton Lynch. “By no means is Paxton done. ... We believe in Paxton," Joseph said. Injuries and poor performance in five games in two seasons have relegated Lynch to draft bust as a first-rounder in 2016 so far in his two-year […]

Blake Bortles Is Pain-Free

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said quarterback Blake Bortles (wrist) has been "pain-free" with "no limitations" during his offseason training in California. Bortles should be good to go for all offseason workouts, barring any setbacks. Despite bouncing back in 2017 and leading the Jags to an AFC title appearance, Bortles was still a glorified […]

David Johnson Expected To Be Back for OTAs

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is expected to be back for organized team activities after suffering a wrist injury in Week 1 of the 2017 season. This is good news for fantasy owners, as Johnson projects to be one of the best running backs in the league if he is healthy and should be considered […]

Giants Non-Committal On Brandon Marshall

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur was non-committal on wide receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle), who has yet to pass a physical. When asked about his place on the team, Shurmur said, "We'll have to see." Marshall is entering his age-35 campaign and played in just five games in 2017 after suffering a gruesome ankle […]

Chris Carson 100 Percent

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson (leg) is 100 percent healthy and has no concerns about being ready for organized team activities. Seattle's offensive line and running game has been a disaster for several years now. Carson was the best backfield option to begin the season, but he lasted just […]

Titans Agree With Blaine Gabbert

The Tennessee Titans agreed to sign free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert on Tuesday. Gabbert wound up starting five games in 2017 for the Cardinals after injuries to Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton, and he went 2-3 while throwing for 1,086 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions. He predictably wasn't all that great, though, with a 55.6 […]

Peyton Barber Is The Starter In Tampa

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said running back Peyton Barber is the current starter, and they have "high" confidence in him. However, things could change, and they did target a free-agent running back. The Bucs are also fully expected to address the backfield early in the draft in what is a good class. […]

Ryan Tannehill Will Be Ready For OTAs

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) will be ready for organized team activities. This was expected, but it's nice to get confirmation. The 29-year-old signal caller missed all of the 2017 season with a knee injury, and although he has already been named the starter, the Dolphins are seriously considering […]

49ers Consider Jerick McKinnon A Three-Down Back

The San Francisco 49ers consider running back Jerick McKinnon a three-down back. "We think he's a great third-down back. We also think he's good on first and second down, too," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. San Fran signed McKinnon to be their main workhorse in 2018, although Matt Breida should spell him here and there. […]

Cameron Artis-Payne Will Have Opportunity

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said running back Cameron Artis-Payne "will most certainly get that opportunity" to replace Jonathan Stewart as the power back for the team. Artis-Payne might be intriguing as a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in 2018, but the Panthers are also a good bet to address the running back position early in […]

Greg Olsen Won't Need Second Surgery

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said tight end Greg Olsen (foot) won't need a second surgery on his foot. Olsen has been running and doing bike work already. Olsen had a frustrating year in 2017 because of his injury, catching a career-low 17 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown in seven games, and […]

Zay Jones' Future With Team Not Impacted By Incident

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said wide receiver Zay Jones' future with the team won't be impacted by a bizarre incident recently in which he was seen naked on video with his brother restraining him. Jones was also injured during the incident, but it's unclear how serious his leg injury is or if it […]

"Safe to Say" Nick Foles Will Remain an Eagle

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson told ESPN reporter Sal Paolantonio that it is now "safe to say" that Super Bowl MVP quarterback Nick Foles will remain with the team for the start of the 2018 season. There were plenty of rumors swirling that Foles would be traded this offseason, but the Eagles reportedly never received […]

Eagles Want to Re-Sign Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he would like to re-sign running back Darren Sproles. Sproles missed most of the 2017 season due to a torn ACL. Pederson also mentioned that Sproles has expressed interest in returning to Philadelphia. Sproles had said he would retire after the 2017 season, but he changed his tone a […]

Carson Wentz Won't Participate in the Offseason Program

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will not participate in the offseason program. Wentz is of course recovering from an ACL tear but has been making good progress. Pederson said he's encouraged by Wentz's progress, and the team is "confident" that Wentz will be ready to go for Week 1. […]

Andrew Luck Finally Throwing Footballs

During the coach's breakfast at the Annual League Meeting on Tuesday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich told the media that quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) has begun throwing footballs. Although Reich didn't make it sound like Luck is back to full strength, the fact that he is able to use the full range of motion […]

Brice Butler Has Several Visits Lined Up

Free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler, formerly with the Dallas Cowboys, has visits lined up over the next two weeks with the Bears, Seahawks, Jaguars and Cardinals. Butler was a seam stretcher in Dallas but was underutilized. He's a guy who may end up skyrocketing in fantasy value if he ends up in the right situation. […]

Ameer Abdullah's Role Uncertain

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quin said that running back Ameer Abdullah "sure does" have a role with the team going forward. Of course, the same was said about former tight end Eric Ebron, who was cut shortly after. It's hard to envision a heavy workload for Abdullah in the Motor City after the Lions […]

Blair Walsh Works Out For Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins held a workout for free-agent place kicker Blair Walsh on Monday, according to a source. Walsh spent just one year in Seattle and hit 21 of his 29 field goal tries (72.4 percent), while missing his only kick from 50-plus yards. He's an 82.4 percent kicker in his six years in the […]

Raiders Want To Re-Sign NaVorro Bowman

Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said that the team wants to re-sign linebacker NaVorro Bowman. Bowman was definitely effective in 10 games for the Raiders last season, compiling 89 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception. Despite his off-field stumbles in his career, Bowman would surely strengthen Oakland's interior defense in 2018 […]

Cameron Meredith Visited With Saints

Chicago Bears restricted free-agent wide receiver Cameron Meredith visited with the New Orleans Saints over the weekend, according to an NFL source. He's also visited with the Colts and Ravens already, but it's unclear if any of those teams will sign him to an offer sheet. It all depends on where Meredith is in his […]

Rams Interested In Trading For Odell Beckham Jr.

The Los Angeles Rams have talked to the New York Giants about the possibility of trading for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., according to multiple NFL sources. While it might be unlikely for Beckham to be traded this week, the team's asking price will start with a first-round pick plus. Beckham's 2017 season was lost […]

La'el Collins Could Move Back to Left Guard

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman La'el Collins could move back to left guard for the 2018 season. Collins played right tackle in 2017, but wasn't very effective. With the Cowboys signing Cameron Fleming, Collins should have the opportunity to move back to the position where he was more effective. The Cowboys have made several signings to […]

Jason Witten is "All In" for 2018

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is "all in" for the 2018 season, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. There have been rumblings that Witten was being courted by several media outlets after last season, but the 36-year-old will be returning for his 16th NFL season. He certainly has a future in TV, but […]

Cowboys "Still Need to Talk" to Dez Bryant

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team "still needs to talk" to wide receiver Dez Bryant about his contract. Jones specified that the team did not sign Allen Hurns to replace Bryant, but he also left the door open for the team drafting a wide receiver with the 19th overall pick in […]

Terrance Williams Recovering from a Broken Foot

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is recovering from a broken foot and may not be ready to participate in the offseason program. Williams suffered the injury in the offseason and underwent surgery about four weeks ago. He's reportedly going to "miss some time" in the offseason program, and with foot injuries being tricky to […]
