Eric Gray's Role Could Increase

New York Giants rookie running back Eric Gray didn't get much work in the backfield during training camp this summer, but that could change if the Giants seek a change of pace if Saquon Barkley (ankle) misses any time after spraining his right ankle in the Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Gray impressed […]

Broncos May Make Things Easier On Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that the coaching staff may need to simplify the offense a bit in order to help quarterback Russell Wilson be more consistent. "I think, No. 1, the first thing that we always try to look at — but we have to do a better job of as coaches […]

Several Teams Checking In On Cam Akers

Several NFL teams have checked in with the Los Angeles Rams about a potential trade for running back Cam Akers, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns, among others, according to sources. It's still possible the Rams outright release Akers for salary reasons, but the team is actively shopping […]

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In the team's first game without J.K. Dobbins, Hill led the way with 43 of the team's 75 snaps.

Browns Looking To Add Running Back Behind Jerome Ford

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will step in as the team's featured ball carrier after the season-ending knee injury sustained by Nick Chubb in Week 2, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. However, the team is still looking to add a player to its running back room consisting of Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. […]

Anthony Brown Joins 49ers Active Roster

Veteran cornerback Anthony Brown was signed to the San Francisco 49ers' active roster on Tuesday. Brown was released from the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad on September 14, so he quickly found a new home. The 29-year-old defensive back suffered a torn Achilles in Week 13 of last season with the Dallas Cowboys but looks to […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but Mayfield has quietly been quite good through two weeks. During the offseason, there was some chatter in fantasy circles that Mayfield may very well be this year's Geno Smith. He's this veteran quarterback who has largely been written off, but […]

Deshaun Watson Won't Face Discipline For Contacting Official

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson drew two facemask penalties in the Monday Night Football loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but will not face disciplinary action from the NFL for making contact with an official. Watson pulled a referee to the side on Monday night while talking to members of the Steelers sideline. The 28-year-old could […]

Giants Not Ruling Out Saquon Barkley Yet

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2. Numerous reports have put a two-to-three-week timeline on his return, but Giants head coach Brian Daboll has not ruled him out for the Thursday Night game against the San Francisco 49ers and […]

Shaq Thompson Out For The Season

Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson (fibula) suffered a fractured fibula in the team's loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday. The 29-year-old underwent surgery to repair the injury and will miss the remainder of the 2023 season. Thompson has been a reliable run-stopper for Carolina since entering the league in 2015 as a first-round […]

Mack Hollins (WR, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to know what to make of Atlanta's passing game at this point. Drake London led the team in targets against the Green Bay Packers with seven, catching six of them for 67 yards and a score, just one week after he was […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Amon-Ra St. Brown led the Lions' receiving room in targets as expected, but Josh Reynolds was just one back of him, as Jared Goff looked his way six times. Reynolds caught five of those for 66 yards and a pair of touchdowns. After last week's seven […]

Tutu Atwell (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the second week in a row, rookie Puka Nacua was unstoppable, catching 15 of his 20 targets for 147 yards. If you're in the 24% of leagues where Nacua is still out there on the wire, go get him. Right now. Put the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: David Montgomery sustained a thigh injury in the third quarter of Detroit’s Week 2 matchup with Seattle. Montgomery had accumulated 30 snaps before the issue emerged. He had also generated a team-high 67 yards with his 16 carries while running 11 routes and […]

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gus Edwards should not be omitted from any discussion of Baltimore’s reshaped backfield rotation, as he could still be located on your waiver wire. The Ravens deployed both Justice Hill and Edwards during their first complete game following J.K. Dobbins’ season-ending injury […]

Allen Robinson II Quiet In Week 2 Win

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II secured two of his three targets for 12 yards in a 26-22 victory against the Cleveland Browns. Robinson, who led the team in targets and receiving yards in Week 1, was expected to see additional opportunities with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) sidelined in Week 2, but the veteran was […]

Steelers Defense Leads The Way In Week 2 Victory

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was dominant in a 26-22 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Pittsburgh recorded six sacks, an interception, and two touchdowns while recovering all three of the fumbles it forced. The Steelers got off to a hot start when linebacker Alex Highsmith intercepted Deshaun Watson for a 30-yard touchdown on […]

Marquise Goodwin Not A Factor On Offense

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was once again a non-factor on offense for the Browns in the Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. Goodwin played five more offensive snaps (15) than he did in the season opener, but he was targeted just two times by quarterback Deshaun Watson and […]

Chris Boswell Perfect In MNF Win

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his field goal attempts and went two-for-two on extra-point tries in a 26-22 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Boswell was busy on Monday night as Pittsburgh's offense was largely unable to capitalize on defensive stops. Still, it's hard to expect sustained production from a fantasy kicker on […]

Harrison Bryant Puts Up Zero Points In Week 2 Loss

Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant put up a donut in the score column in Monday night's 26-22 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Bryant was unable to haul in either of his two targets in the game after catching two of his four targets for five yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 […]

Pat Freiermuth Held To One Catch Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth finished with just one reception for two yards in a Week 2 victory over the Cleveland Browns. As a reliable option for quarterback Kenny Pickett in 2022, it was surprising to see Freiermuth uninvolved on Monday night, especially with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) sidelined. It's worth noting, however, that Cleveland's […]

Jaylen Warren Efficient As Pass-Catcher In Week 2 Victory

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled six carries for 20 yards and secured four of his six targets for 66 yards in a Week 2 win against the Cleveland Browns. Najee Harris continued to be Pittsburgh's primary ball carrier on Monday night but Warren has clearly carved out a role for himself as a […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones Catches Just One Pass

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones did very little in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, catching just one of his four targets for a seven-yard gain. There was a chance that Peoples-Jones was going to have a big role in this one with Amari Cooper questionable to play […]

Pierre Strong Jr. Punches In A Touchdown Monday Night

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. got onto the field in the Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers because of the season-ending injury to Nick Chubb (knee) and took advantage by scoring his first touchdown of the season.

Zonovan Knight Joins Lions Active Roster

The Detroit Lions signed running back Zonovan Knight from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday with David Montgomery (thigh) injured. Montgomery is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons and could miss even more time beyond that after getting hurt in the Week 2 overtime loss to […]

Deshaun Watson Facing Suspension?

When asked about the possibility of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson facing a potential suspension after two blatant face-mask fouls and his shove of an official in Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source said, "All plays will be evaluated and assessed today." Watson looked bad for the second straight week to open […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nick Chubb (knee) is out for the season after suffering a gruesome knee injury on Monday Night Football.

Nick Chubb Done For The Season

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Tuesday what was expected all along: that running back Nick Chubb (knee) is out for the season after suffering a gruesome injury in Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. "Nick's got a very significant knee injury," Stefanski said. "You feel for the person. He's a great […]
