Maxx Williams' Time to Shine: Crockett Gilmore Out vs. Steelers

Baltimore Ravens tight end Crockett Gilmore is expected to miss the week 4 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a calf injury. That means it's time for rookie Maxx Williams to step up and shine. "With Crockett being out, we expect [our young tight ends] to step up and play well for […]

Chris Johnson vs. Andre Ellington: Who to Start?

With Andre Ellington expected to be back for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, your first reaction may have been to immediately bench running back Chris Johnson and start Ellington. Well, not so fast! Coach Bruce Arians has said that Johnson is still expected to see 15-20 carries a game. So […]

Arian Foster Will Be a Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster will be a game-time decision on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN's Ed Werder. Whenever Foster does return, he'll likely be on a pitch count until he's able to prove he can handle the workload again. Alfred Blue struggled in Foster's absence during the first two weeks […]

Houston Texans Sign Kicker Nick Novak, Release Randy Bullock

The Houston Texans have made a change at kicker. The team has released Randy Bullock and signed former San Diego Chargers kicker Nick Novak. The decision was made just two days after Bullock missed a 43-yard field goal attempt and an extra point attempt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Novak had a great career with […]

Report: Browns Players Want Johnny Manziel to Start

Several unnamed players for the Cleveland Browns have told TMZ that they want the team to start quarterback Johnny Manziel over Josh McCown for the rest of the season. The report quoted three anonymous starters on offense. "You can’t get better unless you play. We won when he played and coach has got to trust […]

Patriots Release Potential PPR Gold Travaris Cadet

With Dion Lewis having a spectacular start to the season, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have decided they could afford to cut ties with Travaris Cadet. It will be very interesting to see where Cadet lands. If he lands in the right spot, he may be worth a roster spot, eventually PPR leagues. […]

Packers TE Andrew Quarless Out With Sprained MCL

It's a good thing Aaron Rodgers has never really liked throwing to tight ends because he'll be without Andrew Quarless for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Quarless isn't expected to be a huge loss from a fantasy perspective since he was mostly used as a blocking tight end. In fact, he has […]

Week 3 NFL Recap: Injuries & Game by Game Analysis

Is it me or has the 2015 NFL fantasy season been predominantly determined by injuries and underperforming superstars? Nearly every game on the slate has a storyline featuring the injury bug or a lackluster showing from a highly drafted stud. Either way, the goal as per usual here is to make heads or tails of […]

The Triumphant Return of Martavis Bryant?

Martavis Bryant solidified himself as the WR2 in Pittsburgh last season. However, Bryant was suspended for the first four games of 2015. He should reclaim that role upon return in Week 5. The excitement surrounding his return may be diluted with the news of Ben Roethlisberger's knee injury, but that shouldn't scare fantasy owners away. […]

Ryan Mallett Distances Himself From Brian Hoyer

Although Brian Hoyer began the season as the Houston Texans' starting quarterback, the only way he'll see the football field again this season is if Ryan Mallett suffers an injury. Mallett was far from perfect against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but he seems to be getting into a bit of a groove. On […]

Boobie Dixon a Worthy Week 4 Flex Play?

With LeSean McCoy unlikely to play for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday against the New York Giants, Anthony "Boobie" Dixon may be worth adding on the waiver wire and starting as a week 4 flex play. Of course it goes without saying that Karlos Williams will see the bulk of the carries for the Bills, […]

Robert Griffin III Climbs the Depth Chart in Washington

Nope, Robert Griffin III hasn't been able to overtake Kirk Cousins as the Washington Redskins starting quarterback just yet, but he has surpassed Colt McCoy as the teams No. 2 quarterback ...at least temporarily. According to the Washington Post, McCoy has suffered a cut on his foot which will keep him out of practice for […]

Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks on the Giants' Radar

The New York Giants must not feel 100 percent comfortable with the fact that Victor Cruz is expected back for week 4. According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, the team has scheduled workouts with wide receivers Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks. It seems unlikely that the team would sign either man until they get to see […]

Matt Jones to Continue Seeing More Carries Despite Fumbling Issues

Alfred Morris owners won't be happy to hear this, but Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden will continue to give Matt Jones the bulk of the carries at running back. This is despite the fact that Jones has already lost two fumbles in just three NFL games. “We’re not going to shy away from giving him […]

Start Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams, Both Active Tonight

After battling ankle injuries throughout the week, both Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams are officially active for tonight's Monday Night Football matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs. There is no guarantee on exactly how healthy they are, or how many snaps they will play, but fantasy owners should still be starting both players in their […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Week 3 Monday Night Booms

The Chiefs offense simply doesn't take a lot of shots down field, and quarterback Alex Smith tends to be on the more conservative side. Maclin is one of those Chiefs wide receivers that hasn't caught a touchdown pass for over a year now, yet he has lead the team in targets this season and looks […]

Eagles Seeking Replacement for Kicker Cody Parkey

According to Fox Sports' Alex Marvez, Philadelphia Eagles kicker Cody Parkey re-aggravated a groin injury against the New York Jets on Sunday. The injury must be serious enough to keep him off of the field for a little while, because the Eagles have brought in several kickers for tryouts. Parkey is scheduled to have an […]

Drew Brees Expects to Play in Week 4 Against Cowboys

Drew Brees expects to suit up and start for the New Orleans Saints against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Brees said he was "very optimistic" about playing the Cowboys in a radio interview on Monday morning. Brees missed Week 3 due to a bruised rotator cuff. Since backup Luke McCown played well in his […]

Breshad Perriman Droppable in Redraft Leagues

It's hard to feel sorry for an overrated and overpaid quarterback who already has a Super Bowl ring. But with that said, the Ravens have put quarterback Joe Flacco in a tough spot this season. Other than Steve Smith Sr., Flacco has nobody to throw the football too. Sure, he was supposed to have first-round […]

Make Room in Your Lineups for Andre Ellington's Return

Hopefully Chris Johnson enjoyed his big week as the Arizona Cardinals starting running back on Sunday when he had over 100 yards and two touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, because he'll be back on bench duty next week. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told the media following the game that Andre Ellington is expected back […]

Charles Sims Challenging Doug Martin in the Bucs' Backfield

Heading into the 2015 NFL season, everyone knew Doug Martin was a risky fantasy football draft pick. But as the preseason played out, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers convinced many people that Martin was undoubtedly going to be the team's feature back. Well, that only seemed to last two weeks into the regular season. In week 3 […]

Alshon Jeffery to Suit Up in Week 4 vs. Raiders

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is expected to return to the football field in Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders. Jeffery has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. If you think this means you should immediately put Jeffery into your starting lineups, don't jump the gun. It seems highly unlikely at […]

Karlos Williams Will Continue to Hurt LeSean McCoy's Numbers

If you think LeSean McCoy's health is the only reason Karlos Williams is seeing the field - think again. According to The Buffalo News, Williams' playing time will continue to increase throughout the season. Unlike McCoy who has struggled to find any running room out of the backfield (he only had 16 yards on 11 carries […]

Jimmy Graham: Welcome to Seattle

Whether the reports of Jimmy Graham expressing frustration with his role (or lack thereof) in Seattle's offense through the first two weeks were true or not, the sentiment was valid either way. While Graham was targeted eight times in Week 1, he only saw two targets in a Week 2 loss to the Green Bay […]

A.J. Green and Steve Smith: Dueling Stars

The Cincinnati Bengals were beating the Baltimore Ravens 14-0 midway through the third quarter, with neither A.J. Green nor Steve Smith doing anything particularly noteworthy. Then, with about 6:30 remaining in the third quarter, Joe Flacco found Steve Smith on the right side, where he broke two tackles and scampered for a 50 yard touchdown. […]

Marshawn Lynch Exits Early - Carroll: "Nothing To Be Alarmed By"

Marshawn Lynch was listed as active going into their 4:25 home opener against the Chicago Bears, yet he started the game on the sidelines. This is not a completely foreign sight, as Lynch has occasionally taken the first few drives off as he continues to get loose when dealing with a nagging injury. What was […]

Initial Report on Ben Roethlisberger: Sprained MCL, Out At Least Four Weeks

CBS Sports has just reported that Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does not have any damage to his ACL, and that he is dealing with an MCL sprain that should sideline him for roughly four to six weeks. Anyone who saw the play that he was injured on are probably reading this with their jaw […]

Ben Roethlisberger Escapes With MCL Sprain, Likely Out 4-6 Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered what looked like a scary injury on Sunday afternoon, but fortunately he seems to have avoided anything serious. CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) has reported that Roethlisberger suffered no damage to his ACL, but did sustain an MCL sprain. Former NFL head team physician David J. Chao, […]

Marshawn Lynch active versus the Bears

After some late-week injury-report theatrics, Marshawn Lynch is reported as active versus the Bears in Week 3. The only concern for Lynch owners is that Seattle might run up the score so much, so quickly, that Seattle may choose to rest Lynch a bit. Through two weeks, however, the big back has played nearly 80% of […]

Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams Upgraded to Probable   

With some nice depth on the team, the Green Bay Packers may have been served well by backup RB James Starks and WR Ty Montgomery. In some very positive news for the Packers, however, both RB Eddie Lacy and WR Davante Adams have been upgraded from questionable to probable, after some concern and hand-wringing throughout the week. […]
