Ronald Jones II Has Quiet Game Thursday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II played a small role in the offense once again in Thursday's win over the Eagles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense caught a break ahead of their Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Chris Boswell - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has been mostly accurate in 2021, making eight of nine field goals and all 10 of his extra points through five games.

James Washington Limited On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (groin) turned in a second straight limited practice on Thursday.

Washington draws a plus matchup in Week 6 against a Seattle Seahawks […]

Darren Waller Returns To Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. The 29-year-old missed Wednesday's practice with a knee issue. He's the Raiders' top pass-catching option, hauling in 28-of-48 targets for 319 yards and two touchdowns over five games in 2021. Waller averages 10 air yards per target and owns 26% […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had an uncharacteristic game in a Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos.

With JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) out […]

Chase Claypool Limited On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (hamstring) turned in a second straight limited practice on Thursday.

Najee Harris - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris continues to dominate the backfield work for his team as the rookie has played on just over 86% of his team's offensive snaps thus far.
