Brad Marchand Scores Loan Goal in Win

Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand scored the only goal that was needed for a 1-0 victory over the Arizona Coyotes.

Drew Brees Tweets Video of Himself Throwing Footballs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees posted a video of himself tossing a football on Saturday evening. Brees remains inactive for the Saints Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Josh Allen is Active Sunday

Josh Allen will give it a full-go after clearing the concussion protocol on Saturday. It won't be easy sledding in Tennessee, but we know Josh Allen isn't one that needs things easy. The Titans are average against the pass and Allen is a middling fantasy starter this week.

Vance McDonald Active For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) will be active for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. McDonald missed Week 4's win over the Bengals after suffering the injury in the previous week.

Terry McLaurin Active For Redskins

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin is active today after missing last week with a hamstring injury.

McLaurin will be a low-end WR3 […]

Tyrell Williams Inactive Versus Bears

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams is officially inactive for Sunday's tilt versus the Chicago Bears.

Nelson is also inactive, so […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Active For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

Devin Singletary Is Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is inactive today as he recovers from a hamstring injury. With the Bills figuring to be in a close game against the Titans, this would seem to benefit Frank Gore more than TJ Yeldon, who the team uses as more of a receiving option. Gore is a low-end RB2 […]
