Blake Jarwin Unlikely To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and is unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.

The Vegas Golden Knights acquired center Jack Eichel on Thursday from the Buffalo Sabres, giving up forwards Peyton Krebs, Alex Tuch, a future first-round draft pick and a future second-rounder.

It sounds as though Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) is on track to resume practicing this week, according to sources.

Encouragingly, Haliburton […]

Cedrick Wilson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson had a huge Week 8 fantasy performance thanks to a long touchdown grab. He was expected to move back into his fourth wide receiver role with Michael Gallup (calf) coming back, but with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) now suffering an injury of his own in practice, Wilson could remain on […]

Amari Cooper - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper finally broke out of a slump in Week 8, catching eight passes for 122 yards and a touchdown even with Cooper Rush in at quarterback.

Kyler Murray Not Spotted At The Open Portion Of Practice

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was not at the open portion of practice for the second day in a row.

CeeDee Lamb Sprains Ankle At Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb sprained his ankle during practice on Wednesday and will be limited during Thursday's practice. While a practice injury is never good news, the fact that Lamb is limited today and not simply being held out could bode well for his ability to suit up on Sunday. Whether or not […]

Tony Pollard - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is worth a look in deeper leagues for a Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos defense has been good at forcing opposing teams to run the ball by defending the passing game well, but then haven't been able to do much to stop the run. Pollard […]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was excused from practice again Thursday as the continued rift between he and the Browns gets sorted out.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Football. The game doesn't add up. Sometimes all stats point to one team dominating but just the opposite happens. That transpired with  the Bengals Sunday, but the game that really made no sense was the Titans-Colts. Indy jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead before the Titans crawled back and then it was back-and-forth. Now […]

Harrison Barnes Continues Scorching Start To The Season

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes is the first name on every sell-high article or podcast through the season's first two weeks.
