Taysom Hill Ruled Out With Concussion

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers. Hill had one reception for 11 yards, but went down after a hard hit. Hill does a little bit of everything for the Saints, but with Jameis Winston beating him out for the starting QB role this offseason, Hill's role […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Questionable To Return In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He has no receptions, but does have two carries for six yards.

Taysom Hill, Deonte Harris Exit Game

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, while quarterback/utilityman Taysom Hill was carted off after a hit to the helmet.

Jacoby Brissett Questionable To Return

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Brissett started 8-for-10 for 119 yards and a touchdown and had the Dolphins leading when he exited, so if he's unable to return, it would be a big loss for this Miami team. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) not active, […]

Hayden Hurst Finds End Zone In Victory

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught four of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Kadarius Toney will see a larger role in this week's game, but the return of Shepard […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Has Quiet Day Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a quiet game in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Zaccheaus caught just two passes for 20 yards- as he took a backseat to the other pass-catchers in Atlanta's offense, mainly Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson. It was a disappointing effort, as Zaccheaus had an opportunity to produce with […]

Tajae Sharpe Posts 53 Receiving Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe caught four passes for 53 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Sharpe led the receiver room in all categories, taking advantage of the added playing time with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) on the sidelines.

Felipe Colares Unsuccessful In Search Of Win

Taking one of the scorecards when the decision was read, Felipe Colares suffered a split-decision loss to Chris Gutierrez in Saturday's main-card opener.

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis tallied 15 touches for 61 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Jets. Davis struggled to find running room for much of the contest- and lost a fumble, though he salvaged a rough day with a three-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter. The veteran […]

Chris Gutierrez Earns The Nod In Main-Card Opener

With four of the five bouts on the main card going to a decision, Chris Gutierrez earned the first nod of Saturday night in a split decision over Felipe Colares. Though Gutierrez had two judges rule in favor of him 30-27, one judge actually gave a nod to Colares 28-29. Statistically, it was not even […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 342 Yards, Two Scores In Victory

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 33 of 45 passes for 342 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

T.J. Hockenson Will Be In The Lineup Against Vikings

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is officially good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings. Things weren't looking promising for the 24-year-old, and after the team elevated Shane Zylstra from the practice squad on Saturday, fantasy managers were expecting the worst. However, it appears as if he is healthy enough to suit […]

Danny Amendola Out For Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) appeared to be on his way towards playing this week, but he'll be inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Chris Moore was elevated to the active roster and could see some extra usage, but there's really no reason to roster any pass-catcher on this offense other than […]

D'Andre Swift Officially Active Against Minnesota

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is good to go for the Week 5 divisional showdown against Minnesota. The sophomore has been dealing with a nagging groin issue since the preseason but has continuously been able to play through it, so his status against the Vikings shouldn't come as a surprise. Nonetheless, it will […]

James Washington Out For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Last week with Chase Claypool (hamstring) out, Washington saw more work than usual, with four catches for 69 yards.
