La'Mical Perine Invisible In Week 4

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine has been unable to make much of an impact since making his NFL debut in Week 2. On Thursday, Perine rushed five times for 15 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Sam Darnold surprisingly finished with more rushing attempts than Perine in the game. The […]

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle), who was carted off the field on Thursday night against the Jets with an ankle injury, is "all good" and "will be fine," according to a source.

Per his Instagram account, Las Vegas Raiders first-round rookie cornerback Damon Arnette (thumb) underwent surgery on his thumb on Thursday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Arnette should be out for six to eight weeks.

Panthers Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 4

The Carolina Panthers Defense will face off against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. Murray is coming off a three-interception game in Week 3, though he certainly has the talent to have a bounce-back performance. The Panthers defense has the fewest sacks recorded in the league but they have managed to pick […]

Terry McLaurin A WR2 In Tough Matchup

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been one of the few bright spots on a bad Washington offense, but he faces a daunting matchup versus Baltimore this week.

Joey Slye A Good Option In Week 4

Dwayne Haskins Fighting For His Job Versus Ravens

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins is coming off of a three-interception performance last week and now faces a daunting challenge against the stout Ravens Defense. After that ugly Week 3 performance, head coach Ron Rivera referenced his "cutoff point" when talking about Haskins' poor performance. The team has former Chiefs starter Alex Smith healthy […]

Joe Burrow Has Favorable Matchup Against Jags

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will be going up against a Jaguars Defense that has allowed 22.26 fantasy points per game to his position in 2020, which is fifth-worst in the NFL. The former Heisman winner has been on a roll during his inaugural season in the league, racking up 821 yards, five touchdowns and […]

Ian Thomas Should Remain On Benches

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas faces the Arizona Cardinals In Week 4. Thomas has just three receptions on the season and has been a non-factor for three weeks in the Panthers offense. He does have some potential down the road, but there are just too many other options out there at the tight end […]

Kenley Jansen Continues To Serve As Closer For Game 2

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Kenley Jansen looked a bit out of sorts despite locking down the save in Game 1 of the club’s wild-card series versus Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Starling Marte's Status Unknown For Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte (finger) was slated to sit for Game 2 of the club’s wild-card series versus the Cubs on Thursday due to the fractured pinkie finger that he sustained after being hit by a pitch Wednesday.

Francisco Lindor Plans To Remain With Club In 2021, Beyond

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor will be the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason, as he is scheduled to hit free agency at the conclusion of the 2021 season. Cleveland has been aggressive in moving soon-to-be free agents in years past and would likely receive a significant haul in return for Lindor. But despite […]

Justin Verlander Has Successful Tommy John Surgery

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Justin Verlander (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery Wednesday to repair his right ulnar collateral ligament.

Verlander is slated to hit free agency […]

Ryan Braun Dealing With Oblique Strain

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Ryan Braun (oblique) provided additional clarity on the malady that has sidelined him Thursday versus Los Angeles, saying that he is dealing with a left oblique strain. Due to the nature of the injury, it would be highly surprising if Braun is available off the bench for Game 2 or at all in […]

Chad Pinder Playing At Less Than 100 Percent

Oakland Athletics utilityman Chad Pinder (hamstring) delivered the go-ahead knock in Game 3 of the wild-card series versus Chicago on Thursday, but he revealed after the contest that he is playing below 100 percent due to persistent right hamstring issues.

Jacob Nottingham Draws Start For Game 2, Omar Narvaez Sits

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jacob Nottingham will join the starting lineup for Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus Los Angeles and left-hander Clayton Kershaw.

In an extremely small sample size, Nottingham demolished southpaws in 2020 […]

Mike Williams Remains Sidelined

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. Williams left Week 3 early with a hamstring injury and he could miss Week 4. Williams has always been a big target, but quarterback Justin Herbert has looked to fellow wide receiver Keenan Allen, tight end Hunter Henry and running back Austin Ekeler […]

Colts Defense Has Tough Matchup Against Bears

The Indianapolis Colts Defense has been great over the last two weeks, but Week 4 against the Bears will be a much taller task.
