Treylon Burks Could Have Deep-League Value In Week 9

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks returned from his knee injury in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons but failed to catch either of his two targets from quarterback Will Levis. The second-year receiver from Arkansas has been disappointing this season, catching just six of his 15 targets for 99 yards. However, if DeAndre Hopkins […]

Derrick Henry Draws Favorable Matchup On Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has had a few down weeks this season, but he still ranks fifth in the NFL with 75.1 rushing yards per game (minimum five games) through eight weeks.

Jalen Reagor Expected To Become A Starter

There is more opportunity in the New England Patriots pass-catching group now that receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is done for the year with a torn ACL.

Hayden Hurst Out Sick Wednesday

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst (illness) missed practice due to an illness on Wednesday.

DJ Chark Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr. Miss Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) and Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) both missed the first official practice of the week on Wednesday.

P.J. Walker Will Start In Week 9 If Deshaun Watson Misses Another Game

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback P.J. Walker will start in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals if Deshaun Watson (shoulder) misses another game.

Deshaun Watson Returns To Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is set to be a limited participant during Wednesday's practice leading up to the Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals.

Richie James' Practice Window Opens

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James (knee), who is still on Injured Reserve, is returning to practice on Wednesday, which will open his 21-day practice window to return from IR.

Jerick McKinnon Won't Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) will not practice on Wednesday.

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Have Flu-Like Symptoms

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said quarterback Patrick Mahomes (illness) no longer has flu-like symptoms.

[…]

Josh Allen Will Be Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Tyrod Taylor Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) will not practice on Wednesday.

Normal […]

Daniel Jones Practicing Without Limitations

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is practicing on Wednesday without any limitations and is good to go heading into a Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Darren Waller Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday.

Demario Douglas, Tyquan Thornton Have More Opportunity

New England Patriots leading wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins and will miss the rest of the season.

The Cleveland Browns dealt wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday for a sixth-round draft pick in 2025.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith announced on Wednesday that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will make the start over Desmond Ridder in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings.
