Chris Wideman Out Indefinitely With Back Injury

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Chris Wideman has been ruled out indefinitely with a back injury. It's a bad blow for the veteran blue-liner after Wideman featured in only 46 games last season.

Ka’imi Fairbairn A Low-End Streaming Option

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is a low-end streaming option in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Texans kicker has made 5-of-6 field goals so far this season and has gone a perfect 2-for-2 on […]

Texans Defense Not A Strong Option In Week 3

The Houston Texans D/ST will look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after a tough showing last week.

Mason McTavish Nursing An Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish was unable to participate in the first day of training camp due to an upper-body injury. The team considered him as day-to-day.

Nico Collins A Solid Flex Option In Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has emerged as the team's WR1 and will look to build off a career performance in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hayden Hurst A TE2 In Week 3

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst turned in a slow outing in a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints, catching three passes for 20 yards.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is certainly not a must-start in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He has also played less than 50% of the team snaps in both games this […]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (groin, shoulder) was able to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's session.

Jonathan Mingo A Flex In Week 3

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo is off to a quiet start through his first two games of the season, catching five of 13 targets for 43 yards. That being said, Mingo is barely coming off of the field for the Panthers as he has logged 92.7% of the offensive snaps thus far. While he […]

Andy Dalton Could See The Start In Week 3

Miles Sanders An RB2 In Week 3

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders heads into Week 3 looking for his first touchdown of the season after posting 115 scoreless rushing yards over two games.

Edmonton Oilers center Ryan McLeod suffered a soft-tissue tweak and was held off of the ice on Thursday as a precaution.
