Chris Johnson to Keep Workload Upon Andre Ellington's Return

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said today he will look to continue to give Chris Johnson 15-20 touches even upon Ellington's return, due to Johnson's high octane performance last week. After a pedestrian performance in week two (20 carries for 72 yards, 3.6 yards per carry), Johnson showed us shades of CJ2K and broke out with a boisterous […]

Julius Thomas Not Yet Cleared to Play

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas has still not been cleared to play according to the Florida Times Union. The former Broncos tight end has been recovering from a broken right hand suffered on Aug. 14. It is believed that he will return to the lineup around week 6, and when he does - he […]

Reggie Bush Returns to 49ers Practice

Reggie Bush has returned to practice for the San Francisco 49ers after missing the last two games. This will give the team a much-needed receiving threat out of the backfield. Although Bush's presence will undoubtedly help the 49ers on the football field, it won;t have much of an impact for fantasy football players. Carlos Hyde […]

Victor Cruz Hurt Again, Continues to Disappoint Owners

Just when we thought Victor Cruz would be making his way back into the starting lineup for the New York Giants, we receive some bad news. Apparently the slot receiver aggravated his calf injury in practice on Wednesday. "Victor came out and tried to do individuals," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He felt the calf again […]

Cordarrelle Patterson to Get Another Chance With Vikings

Have you already given up on Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson? Most people have. But the former first round draft pick will get another chance to prove himself now that Jarius Wright has been ruled out 1-2 weeks with a hand injury. Vikings starting receiver Charles Johnson is also batting a rib injury which […]

Vernon Davis Does Not Practice on Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis did not participate in practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. He suffered the injury against the Cardinals on Sunday and missed most of the second half because of it. Knee problems are never a good sign for any football player, especially an aging receiving threat like […]

Tennessee Titans Backfield: Bishop Sankey, Antonio Andrews or Dexter McCluster?

Are you going insane trying to figure out what Tennessee Titans running back should be inserted into your fantasy football lineups? Well, let me make it easy on you: NONE! The Titans obviously have no clearcut starter and plan on going with the hot-hand until one running back proves himself better than the rest. The […]

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.

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 […]
