Noah Fant Will Play Against Jets

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) got in a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the New York Jets. Fant continues to be bothered by nagging injuries, but it hasn't kept him from playing in the first two games, and he's been great for […]

KJ Hamler Needs More Volume

Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver KJ Hamler was fifth on the team in targets in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville, and he managed to catch only one of his three targets for five yards. Hamler didn't exactly take advantage of his first game without Jerry Jeudy (ankle) in the starting lineup, and he's […]

What Impact Will Kenyan Drake Have In Week 3?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake is looking to improve on his Week 2 performance this Sunday when his team hosts the Miami Dolphins.

Tim Patrick Good To Go For Week 3

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hip) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the New York Jets. Patrick stepped up in a big way for the Broncos last year with Courtland Sutton out most of the year with a torn ACL, and he's doing […]

Javonte Williams Earning A Bigger Role?

Fantasy managers are patiently waiting for Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams to earn a bigger role in this backfield.

However, the rookie has three more carries than Gordon and 109 rushing yards in […]

Melvin Gordon III Must Be More Efficient

Teddy Bridgewater A QB1 Streamer Against Jets

Despite what people may say about Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and his reluctance to go deep down the field, he has thrown 18.6 percent of his passes 20-plus yards down the field through two games this season. He ranks second in completion percentage above expectation. It could be because of the poor talent that […]

Ben Roethlisberger Good To Go Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is good to go in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Roethlisberger was taken off the final injury report. Big Ben is pretty tough. We know that. But his left pectoral injury is something to watch in this divisional matchup. […]

Frank Clark Doubtful For Chiefs Defense

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers after straining his hamstring in practice on Thursday.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (thumb), defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee), linebacker Pete Werner (hamstring) and defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon (calf) will all play in Week 3 against the New England Patriots after missing the Week 2 loss to the Carolina Panthers. It's great news for a Saints defense that is firmly in the […]

Chargers Defense May Be Without Joey Bosa

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa (ankle, foot) missed practice all week and is considered questionable for Week 3 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. It would be a huge loss for the Bolts against former MVP Patrick Mahomes and this explosive KC offense. Bosa has played 82 percent of the defensive snaps through […]

T.J. Watt Questionable For Steelers Defense

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3.

Jose Siri Isn't In Friday's Lineup

Houston Astros outfielder Jose Siri isn't starting on Friday against the Oakland Athletics and right-hander Frankie Montas.

Panthers Work Out Duke Johnson Friday

With Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) expected to miss the next couple of weeks with a hamstring strain, the team worked out running back Duke Johnson on Friday, according to a source.

Rashaad Penny, Dee Eskridge Ruled Out

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (calf) and rookie Dee Eskridge (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings for the second straight week.

Anthony Firkser Ruled Out Again In Week 3

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) missed practice all week and has been officially ruled out for the Week 3 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. It will be Firkser's second straight absence after he was injured in the season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals. With the 26-year-old out for another game, MyCole Pruitt […]

Marquise Goodwin Questionable For Week 3

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (ankle) practiced in full the last two days, but he's listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns.

Jamison Crowder Doubtful To Make Season Debut

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) did not practice at all this week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos.
