Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, but head coach John Harbaugh said after the game that it was a minor injury.

Amari Cooper Active Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (groin), who was questionable to play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers to close out Week 2 action, is active and will suit up.

Kendre Miller's NFL Debut Will Have To Wait

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is inactive for the Monday night contest against the division-rival Carolina Panthers.

DJ Chark Jr. Active On Monday Night

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring), who was questionable to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, is active and will make his debut for the Panthers.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram finished with six receptions for 57 yards on Sunday against the Chiefs.

The former Ole Miss […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 1, it looked like the Chicago Bears were set to have a three-way split at running back.

Rams D/ST Struggles In Loss To 49ers

The Los Angeles Rams' defensive unit had an extremely tough matchup against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers.

Brett Maher Perfect In Week 2 Loss

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher did not miss in the team's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The former Cowboys kicker went 3-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra point tries.

After an rather underwhelming Week 1 in which scoring was noticeably down, things did improve a bit in Week 2, as some fantasy managers had their studs wake up, while others realized they could be in for a long season.

Tyjae Spears (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyjae Spears remains available in 83% of all leagues, although that percentage will diminish in the upcoming weeks.

Van Jefferson Quiet Again In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson was the odd man out once again during the team's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The fourth-year receiver hauled in one of his four targets for just nine yards. It was assumed that Jefferson would be the Rams' primary receiving target with Cooper Kupp (hamstring) on injured reserve. However, […]

Marcus Williams Won't Go On Injured Reserve

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marcus Williams (pectoral) will not require surgery for his pectoral injury and will not go on Injured Reserve, according to head coach John Harbaugh.

Tyler Higbee Quiet In Week 2 Loss

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee disappointed in the team's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Higbee caught just three of his seven targets for 12 yards.
