Dante Pettis Might Be In Doghouse

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis played just two snaps in Week 1’s victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pettis was a notable bust on Sunday (one catch, seven yards) but his underlying usage is disastrous. The second-year pro dealt with a groin injury in practice but head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed he was […]

Joe Mixon Believed To Have Sprain

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) will have tests done on his ankle, but it is just believed to be a sprain. He had a little swelling, but early reports are optimistic. Running back Giovani Bernard pitched in seven rushes for 21 yards and caught two balls for 42 yards. Mixon's prognosis sounds good, […]

Seahawks Defense Not Counting On Ziggy Ansah For Week 2

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said they are taking it day-to-day with defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin, shoulder), but the team isn't exactly counting on Ansah to suit up in Week 2 against the Steelers. The Seahawks aren't rushing the injury-prone pass-rusher back, although his presence on the defensive line would be an added […]

Chris Lindstrom May Have Broken Foot

The Atlanta Falcons fear that rookie right guard Chris Lindstrom (foot) suffered a broken foot in the Week 1 loss to the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lindstrom left the stadium in a walking boot and will undergo more tests on Monday. The 14th overall pick was expected to be a starter all […]

Greg Robinson Unlikely To Be Suspended

Cleveland Browns left tackle Greg Robinson, who was ejected in Week 1 for kicking Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro in the head, is facing a fine but is unlikely to be suspended, according to a source. Without Robinson in the game, Cleveland's pass protection struggled mightily and quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked five times, including one […]

Derrius Guice Likely Sidelined

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) had an MRI on his non-repaired knee Monday, and he's likely to miss some time. The hope is he can avoid surgery. He only gained 18 yards on 10 carries in Week 1. Running back Adrian Peterson was a healthy scratch last week, and he should step in […]

T.J. Watt, Maurkice Pouncey Injured Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (hip) and center Maurkice Pouncey (ankle) both left the game in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night and did not return. Watt had two tackles but also hit Tom Brady three times. Pouncey seemed OK after the game and expects to play […]

Devin White Dealing With Tonsilitis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (illness) has been dealing with tonsilitis and not the flu bug, according to head coach Bruce Arians. White played through the illness in his NFL debut against the 49ers in Week 1 and finished with five solo tackles. White is an incredibly talented linebacker and should make noise […]

Jaguars Trade For Joshua Dobbs

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring quarterback Joshua Dobbs from the Steelers on Monday in exchange for a 2020 fifth-round pick, according to sources. Dobbs will back up Gardner Minshew with Nick Foles (collarbone) on Injured Reserve for half the season. The 24-year-old attempted only 12 passes for 43 yards and one interception in five games […]

Jags Comfortable With Gardner Minshew As Starter

The Jacksonville Jaguars feel comfortable using quarterback Gardner Minshew as their starter under center with Nick Foles (collarbone) on Injured Reserve. The Jaguars traded for Joshua Dobbs on Monday, but he's expected to backup Minshew until Foles is ready to return. Minshew looked good in relief of Foles in Week 1 against the Chiefs, going […]

Dak Prescott Extension Is Imminent

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on Sunday that he expects to have a deal with quarterback Dak Prescott in a matter of "days." "It would probably be fair to say it’ll be done on a imminent basis. Imminent. Without being real clear, bright lined. It’s not done. What’s imminent? Well, days. Days. Or something […]

Nick Foles Headed To IR

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (clavicle) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a designation to return. He'll undergo surgery Monday and could return after Week 8. Foles isn't worth holding onto unless you have IR slots in two-quarterback leagues. Gardner Minshew was impressive in Foles' stead, going 22-for-25 for 275 yards with two […]

Tevin Coleman Expected To Miss Time

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Week 1 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, is expected to miss time, according to a source. Coleman is undergoing additional tests on Monday. Jeffery Wilson could be promoted from the practice squad to give the Niners some additional backfield depth […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Hits Two-Run Shot

Mookie Betts Launches 27th Homer

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts finished Sunday's game 2-for-4 with a solo home run, his 27th of the season. He has a real shot at breaking his season-high of 32 from just a season ago.

Rick Porcello Lit Up For Six Runs

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello surrendered six runs on seven hits over four innings, while striking out just one and walking none in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees. This marks back-to-back clunkers for the 30-year-old, who is now 12-12 with a 5.83 ERA on the year. He's a free agent after this […]

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While all the Bears talk of the offseason was about rookie David Montgomery, it was former Seahawks running back Mike Davis who saw the most usage in Chicago's season-opening loss to the Green Bay Packers. Davis carried the ball five times for […]

Chris Boswell Nets Steelers Only Points In Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made his only field goal attempt, a 19-yarder in the third quarter of Sunday's 33-3 loss to the Patriots. It was the most anemic the Steelers' offense has looked in some time, so Boswell wasn't able to get going. Things could be difficult in Week 2 as well, as Pittsburgh […]

Steelers Defense Gets Devoured By Patriots

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gave up 33 points and 465 yards of offense in their loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. Tom Brady had his way with the Steelers, averaging almost 10 yards per attempt and constantly picking them apart across the middle of the field. Rookie linebacker Devin Bush had a noticeably […]

Vance McDonald Targeted Four Times

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught two of his four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 33-3 loss to New England. The offense was abysmal all night and McDonald was almost absent in the game plan. However, the team utilized him in multiple ways, including lining him up out wide. This offense isn't as […]
