[…]

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore showed marked improvement in Week 2 after a rough NFL debut in Week 1.

Mike Fiers Suffers A Setback In His Rehab Stint

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers (elbow) has "hit a snag" during his rehab stint, according to Athletics trainer Nick Paparesta. What exactly this "snag" entails has not been released, but any setback makes it seem very unlikely that we'll see Fiers back in the majors before the end of the regular season. The veteran […]

D'Andre Swift Remains On The Injury Report

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of the Week 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Najee Harris An RB1 Vs. Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris found the end zone for the first time in his NFL career in Week 2 and will look for more against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. The Bengals gave up the eighth-most fantasy points per game in 2020 and have already given up an RB1 game to Dalvin […]

Damien Harris Limited To Start The Week

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (finger) is on the injury report to begin the week and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.
