D'Andre Swift Active For Week 4

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) will play Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Swift practiced all week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- so it's not a surprise to see him suit up. Swift has 289 yards and two touchdowns so far this season and has been a crucial part of a Lions […]

Jonathan Taylor Active Against Dolphins

As expected, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (knee) is active for the Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Taylor wasn't really ever in any danger of missing this game after practicing all week. The 22-year-old had a little fluid build-up in his knee, but it's nothing serious, and he should be […]

Andy Dalton Inactive For Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 4 contest against the Detroit Lions, with Justin Fields set to start and Nick Foles backing Fields up. Head coach Matt Nagy made a comment during the week that the starting role this week was a "game-time decision," though Nagy ended up making […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Active For Week 4

As expected, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) will return to the field on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Cook missed Week 3, but is averaging 96 rushing yards per game this season, plus has been targeted 10 times in the passing game. The Browns allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game in the […]

Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims Active On Sunday

New York Jets wide receivers Jamison Crowder (groin) and Denzel Mims are active in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Crowder will be making his 2021 season debut after missing the first two games while on the COVID-19 list and last week with a groin injury that has been bothering him since training camp. The […]

Lane Johnson Out For Personal Reasons

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is a surprise inactive due to a personal matter for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chiefs. The veteran tackle's absence likely means Jack Driscoll will step into a bigger role on the Eagles offensive line. The Chiefs will be without some key defenders for this game, so Johnson […]

Christian McCaffrey Has A Chance To Play Next Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is officially out in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys, but he made the trip to Dallas. There is a chance that he could return next week, but could be more likely to return in two weeks. McCaffrey is on the field going through his stretching routine on […]

Duncan Keith Skates With Oilers For First Time

David Peralta On The Bench For The Season Finale

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He will head to the bench after driving in a run in back-to-back games.

Kenneth Murray Questionable For Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray (ankle) rolled his ankle in practice on Saturday and is now questionable to play on Monday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Murray needed to be carted off the practice field, but it looks like the injury isn't quite as serious as it initially looked. The 22-year-old has […]

Sam Montembeault Claimed Off Waivers By Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens claimed goaltender Sam Montembeault off of waivers from the Florida Panthers on Saturday. The Quebec native, who was previously the third goaltender on the Panthers' depth chart, registered a 2.86 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage in 13 AHL starts last season. Considering Carey Price's health issues, Montembeault will likely serve […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Has An Opportunity For Bigger Role

New England Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears said that rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson has made "big improvements" of late, and he could be part of the solution in the backfield with James White (hip) now out for the rest of the season. Stevenson has been a healthy scratch the last two weeks after […]

Ketel Marte Out Of The Lineup For The Season Finale

Arizona Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He will take a seat for the year's final game after starting in the past eight contests. Barring a pinch-hit appearance, Marte will finish the 2021 season slashing .319/.378/.534 slash line, 14 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs […]

Nicklas Backstrom Still Not Skating Due To Injury

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom has not yet resumed skating as he continues to rehab an injured hip.

Backstrom is coming off an excellent season in 2020-2021 in which […]

Randy Gregory Expected To Play In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory (knee), who missed practice time this week with knee soreness, is expected to play in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, according to a source.

Texans Still Listening To Trade Offers For Deshaun Watson

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson remains on the trade block, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Elijah Mitchell Won't Play Against Seahawks

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) won't suit up against the Seahawks in Week 4.

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (leg, ribs), listed as questionable, is expected to suit up for Sunday's action against Baltimore.
