Greg Dortch Limited With Ankle Injury Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Dortch missed his team's Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury, but his ability to get onto the practice field on a limited basis on Wednesday is a step in the right direction. That being said, Dortch only […]

Logan Thomas Limited On Wednesday With Heel Issue

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (heel) got in a limited practice session on Wednesday. Thomas played a full complement of snaps in a Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, so it is possible that the team is just giving the 32-year-old veteran a bit of a break heading into a Week 9 matchup […]

Kyler Murray Gets In Full Practice On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) practiced fully on Wednesday. Murray practiced fully last week, as well, as he works his way back from a torn ACL suffered during the 2022 season. The Cardinals are reportedly still deciding whether they want to start Murray or Clayton Tune against the Cleveland Browns heading into Week 9. […]

Chris Boswell Can Be Considered In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell converted on one of his two field goal attempts and drilled his lone extra-point try in a Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Boswell missed a 61-yard field goal after his successful 55-yard kick was nullified by a penalty. He'll look to bounce back on Thursday Night Football against […]

Michael Wilson Misses Wednesday's Practice With Shoulder Injury

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson (shoulder) missed practice on Wednesday as his team began preparing to take on the Cleveland Browns. Wilson injured his shoulder late in his team's Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and is apparently still on the mend, although Arizona hasn't elaborated as to the extent of his shoulder […]

Curtis Samuel Misses Wednesday With Toe Injury

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. Samuel left his team's Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with a toe/foot injury and did not return as he ultimately wound up playing on just 19% of the offensive snaps. Samuel's inability to take the field for practice on Wednesday is […]

George Pickens Should Bounce Back On Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens scored his third touchdown of the season last week, but unfortunately, it was his only reception of the contest. He'll have a great shot to return to form in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans, who have surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Pickens may no longer […]

D.K. Metcalf Practices Fully On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (hip) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Metcalf was also listed with a hip and rib injury last week but practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday before ultimately taking the field in a Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. He apparently is on the mend as the […]

Tyler Lockett Misses Wednesday With Hamstring Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Lockett also missed last Wednesday and Thursday's practice with the same injury before practicing fully on Friday and ultimately playing a full slate of snaps in a Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. As long as Lockett is able to get on […]

D.J. Moore, Darrell Henderson Jr., Alexander Mattison: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

The Week 9 NFL slate is finally here, meaning it's time for fantasy managers to make tough, last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Darrell Henderson Jr., D.J. Moore, and Alexander Mattison are all hot names ahead of this week's games Henderson and the Rams face the Packers on Sunday. Moore and the Bears take on […]

Diontae Johnson Worth Starting Against Titans

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has amassed 20 targets since returning from injury in Week 7 and should be in line for plenty of opportunities against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. Although Johnson hasn't found the end zone since the 2021-2022 campaign, he has continued to offer fantasy value in PPR formats. The […]

Nick Vannett Signs With Chargers Active Roster

The Los Angeles Chargers signed tight end Nick Vannett to their active roster on Wednesday. Vannett had been on the team's practice squad since the end of August but is now in line to make his first appearance for the Chargers in Week 9. Vannett will provide some depth at the position with Gerald Everett […]

Jaylen Warren Will Look To Bounce Back In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren only managed 38 yards on nine opportunities last week and will hope to be more effective against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. The 25-year-old has maintained a consistent snap share throughout the season but has surprisingly been out-produced in the passing game by Najee Harris over the last […]

Emari Demercado Misses Practice With Toe Injury

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Emari Demercado (toe) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Demercado has been Arizona's primary RB in the three games that James Conner (knee) has missed while on Injured Reserve. The 24-year-old will likely have just one more shot for an elevated workload out of Arizona's backfield in Week 9 […]

James Conner Nearing A Return?

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Wednesday that he thinks running back James Conner (knee) is getting faster and that "he's getting ready to go and he's excited to get back when he can get back and play." Conner remains on Injured Reserve, but he's eligible to return for the Week 10 game […]

Joshua Palmer, Michael Pittman Jr., Logan Thomas: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

The Week 9 NFL slate is finally here, meaning it's time for fantasy managers to make tough, last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Joshua Palmer, Michael Pittman Jr., and Logan Thomas are all hot names ahead of this week's games Palmer and the Chargers face the Jets on Monday night. Pittman and the Colts take on […]

Najee Harris Hard To Trust In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has struggled on the ground this season and could have a difficult time turning things around against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night. The Titans have surrendered the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Harris has seen an uptick in usage as a receiver as of […]

Dameon Pierce Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

Houston Texans Pro Bowl alternate running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, according to a league source. His status for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is still being determined. The Texans will see where Pierce is at as the week progresses. Fantasy managers […]

Joe Mixon Dealing With Chest Injury

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (chest) has popped up on the injury report in Week 9 for the first time all year with a chest injury that caused him to be limited on Wednesday. The injury didn't really limit Mixon in the Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers, as he carried the […]

Durham Smythe Picks Up A DNP Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Smythe left the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots wearing a walking boot, so it shouldn't be a big surprise that he's not practicing a few days later. The 28-year-old could be considered a long shot to be ready to play […]

Jaylen Waddle Practicing In Full

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (back) practiced in full on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Waddle will be ready to go in Germany this Sunday to face the defending Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs. Waddle had his best game of the year in the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots last Sunday, catching […]

Najee Harris, Isiah Pacheco, and Emari Demercado are all hot names ahead of this week's games Harris takes on the Titans on Thursday night. Pacheco faces the Dolphins in Germany on Sunday. […]

Raheem Mostert Sits Out Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Mostert also missed practice last Wednesday before being limited on Thursday and Friday and playing in the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots despite carrying a questionable tag into that game. The 31-year-old played 56 percent of the offensive […]

Graham Gano Limited On Wednesday

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday while dealing with a left-knee injury. Gano missed two of his three field-goal tries in a three-point overtime loss to the New York Jets in Week 8. It's a good sign that the 36-year-old veteran kicker is practicing again this week […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Still Limited By Knee

The New York Giants continue to take it easy with second-year wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) in early-week practices after he tore his right ACL in his rookie campaign in 2022. Robinson was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. The 22-year-old probably is in no danger of missing the Week 9 game against the Las Vegas […]

Saquon Barkley Limited In Wednesday's Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Barkley was on last week's injury report with an elbow injury but he played through it in the Week 8 overtime loss to the New York Jets. The 26-year-old missed Weeks 3-5 after suffering a high-ankle sprain in […]
