Steelers Defense Draws Tough Week 4 Matchup

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense draws a tough road matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Green Bay's offense has been tough on opposing defenses as they are allowing just the 21st-most fantasy points per game to the position through three games. The Steelers have a talented defense but they are in a tough […]

Pat Freiermuth A TE2 In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth found the end zone for the first time in his NFL career in his team's Week 3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Freiermuth has clearly overtaken veteran tight end Eric Ebron in the offense and should continue to see his role grow as he gets more comfortable in the […]

Najee Harris A Solid RB1 In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris was impressive in his team's Week 3 loss, catching 14 passes for 102 yards. The rookie running back will look for an encore performance in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. Harris is seeing almost all of the backfield touches for the Steelers through the first three games […]

Giants Sign Former First-Rounder Isaiah Wilson

The New York Giants signed offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson, a former first-round pick last year by the Tennessee Titans, to their practice squad on Thursday. Wilson, who is 6-foot-7 and 330 pounds, played just three offensive snaps in his rookie season and was traded to the Miami Dolphins in March. Off-the-field issues caused him to […]

Rashad Weaver Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery

Tennessee Titans rookie linebacker Rashad Weaver (leg) underwent successful season-ending surgery on Thursday to fix a broken fibula, according to a source. The fourth-round pick suffered the serious injury in the Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Weaver played on only 18 percent of the team's defensive snaps last Sunday and totaled two assisted […]

Ben Roethlisberger A QB3 In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did not practice with a pectoral injury on Wednesday but he returned to a full session on Thursday. Roethlisberger's ability to participate fully on Thursday means that he will most likely continue to play through the pectoral injury that he picked up in Week 2. Roethlisberger has been struggling thus […]

LeSean McCoy Hangs Up His Cleats

The Philadelphia Eagles all-time leading rusher, running back LeSean McCoy, announced his retirement on Thursday. He will sign a one-day contract with Philadelphia to officially retire with them on Friday. The 33-year-old spent 12 seasons in the NFL with the Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McCoy made the Pro Bowl […]

Browns Defense Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 4

The Cleveland Browns defense is coming off an excellent outing against the Chicago Bears in a Week 3 win in which they racked up nine sacks. Cleveland will draw a much tougher matchup on the road against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The Browns will have their work cut out for them against a […]

Texans Waive Joey Slye With Ka'imi Fairbairn Returning

The Houston Texans waived kicker Joey Slye on Thursday. Slye wasn't terrible for Houston through the first three games of the season. The 25-year-old made four of his five field-goal attempts and had missed one of eight extra-point tries to begin the season. The move was made with regular kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) set to […]

Chase McLaughlin A Solid Fantasy Option In Week 4

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin will take on the Minnesota Vikings on the road in Week 4. McLaughlin has been excellent for the Browns thus far, averaging 9.3 fantasy points per game, good enough to rank as the No. 7 kicker in fantasy. The Vikings have been generous to opposing kickers so far, allowing the […]

Austin Hooper A TE2 Vs. Vikings

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper scored his first touchdown of the season in a Week 3 win over the Chicago Bears. Hooper will look to score again in an average matchup on the road against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The Vikings are allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the tight […]

Russell Gage Doesn't Practice On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) didn't practice on Thursday. Gage didn't participate on Wednesday either, and it's not good news, mainly since he already missed a game, having sat for the Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. With Friday practices usually considered the measuring stick regarding a player's availability, fantasy managers […]

Dee Eskridge Nearing A Return?

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) got in a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with his head injury. The 24-year-old caught his only target for six yards and carried the ball twice for 22 yards in his NFL debut in the season opener, but he's missed the last two […]

D.K. Metcalf Limited With Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) was on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday after getting in a limited practice session. It might not be an injury that will put him in danger of missing Sunday's game against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, but it's worth mentioning with Tyler Lockett (hip) being downgraded […]

Odell Beckham Jr. A WR3 In Week 4

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. got in a full practice on Thursday as his team prepares to take on the Minnesota Vikings on the road in Week 4. Beckham initially got in a limited session on Wednesday with a shoulder issue but he appears to be good to go for Sunday. The veteran […]

Carson Wentz Continues To Be Limited

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It was a bit of a surprise that Wentz even played in Week 3 after spraining both of his ankles the week prior, but he was out there and didn't aggravate either ankle. However, the 28-year-old didn't attempt […]

Tee Higgins Could Be Back For Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) may have played in Week 4 had the matchup against Jacksonville been scheduled for Sunday. However, with the quick turnaround between the Week 3 win over Pittsburgh and leading up to the Thursday Night Football showdown against the Jaguars, the team played it safe by holding him out. […]

Jack Doyle In Danger Of Missing Week 4

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (back) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Doyle will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance at playing in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. If he cannot go, Mo Alie-Cox and rookie Ben Bredeson would likely split […]

Tyler Conklin Back At Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (glute, elbow) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that Conklin will be able to play in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns after he went off for seven catches, 70 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win […]

Kareem Hunt Looking To Build On Big Performance Last Week

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt turned in his best game of the season in Week 3, scoring a touchdown while rolling up 155 all-purpose yards in a win. Hunt will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Minnesota represents a neutral matchup for Hunt as they […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Fractures His Ankle

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) will miss some time. The wideout was carted off the field during the Thursday Night Football clash against the Bengals in Ohio. While many were hopeful that the injury wasn't significant, Chark was confirmed to have sustained a left ankle fracture, which could keep him on the shelf […]

Nick Chubb A Quality RB1 In Week 4

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was held out of the end zone for the first time all season in Week 3's win over the Chicago Bears. Chubb will look to score his fourth touchdown and start a new streak in a Week 4 road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have been average […]

T.J. Watt Practices In Full Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Watt was close to playing last week, but the team took the cautious route and held him out. We fully expect him to return to action in Week 4 in his return to his home […]

Baker Mayfield A High-End QB2 In Week 4

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will head on the road to face off against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Mayfield is off to an efficient but quiet start to the season as he's completing 73.8% of his passes but has just two touchdown passes through three games. The veteran quarterback could turn in a […]

Chase Claypool Pops Up On Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (hamstring) popped up on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday and was a limited practice participant. The fact that Claypool was at least on the practice field is good news, but he's worth monitoring on Friday. Pittsburgh may have all of their receivers available this Sunday against the […]

Jesus Sanchez Exits Thursday's Game Early

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) exited Thursday's game against the New York Mets with right hamstring tightness. He went 1-for-2 before being removed in the bottom of the third inning during Thursday's game. The severity of Sanchez's injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. Bryan De La Cruz replaced him in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Back At Practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) practiced on a limited basis on Thursday after he missed practice on Wednesday. Smith-Schuster should be able to play against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday unless he suffers a setback on Friday at practice. The 24-year-old put in a really disappointing performance in the Week 3 loss […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Questionable To Return With Ankle Injury

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to return on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals with an ankle injury. The fact that Chark wasn't ruled out quickly is good news after he was carted off the field while in significant pain. However, it still […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Absent From Thursday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants' first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (knee) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He injured his knee making a diving play in the outfield in Wednesday's contest. The 27-year-old's injury isn't believed to be severe and is considered day-to-day. His next chance to return will be Friday […]

Diontae Johnson Looks Ready To Return In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Of course, Johnson was inactive last week after injuring his knee at the end of Week 2. Unless he suffers a setback on Friday, the 25-year-old should be returned to starting fantasy lineups in Week […]
