10 mins agoThe Carolina Panthers are waiving linebacker Eku Leota on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 25-year-old went unselected in last year's NFL Draft and appeared in eight games last year and two games this year. Overall, he has tallied eight tackles and three tackles for loss in 10 games. The former Northwestern and Auburn linebacker opened the season backing up Jadeveon Clowney and DJ Johnson, but he will become a free agent if he clears waivers. There could be some interest, but he's unlikely to become a full-time starter anytime soon.

20 mins agoThe Cincinnati Bengals are working out defensive linemen Lawrence Guy and Albert Huggins on Tuesday, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Injuries are becoming a problem up front for the Bengals, so Guy and Huggins have real opportunities to be signed this week. Guy, a former seventh-round pick in 2011, has played in 174 NFL games and has 507 tackles, 17 sacks, and two forced fumbles in his career. Huggins went undrafted out of Clemson in 2019 and has been with eight organizations in his career. He has tallied 41 tackles in 27 game appearances.

27 mins agoNew York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (toe) was carted off the field during the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans with a toe injury. However, head coach Robert Saleh said Mosley is progressing well, and it sounds like he will be a game-time decision for the Thursday Night Football matchup with the New England Patriots. The 2014 first-round pick has totaled at least 152 tackles in the last three seasons with New York, and he is one of the leaders of the defense that was elite in 2023. The Jets defense appears to have a great matchup against New England, and its fantasy outlook is brighter if Mosley can suit up on Thursday.

1 hour agoWhen asked if Dallas Cowboys running back
Dalvin Cook will be called upon to boost the running game in Week 3 versus the Baltimore Ravens, owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, "I don't necessarily see a change that would involve Cook this week." Cook was signed late in training camp to give the Cowboys more running back depth behind
Ezekiel Elliott,
Rico Dowdle and
Deuce Vaughn. The 29-year-old is currently on the practice squad and will likely have to wait at least another week before Dallas considers adding him to the 53-man active roster. Cook says he's much healthier than he was last year, when he averaged a career-worst 3.2 yards per carry on 67 rushing attempts for the New York Jets in 15 games, but as of right now, he doesn't offer much of an upgrade to what the Cowboys already have in their backfield.

1 hour agoHouston Texans running back
Joe Mixon (ankle) injured his ankle in the Sunday night win over the Chicago Bears, but his injury isn't considered a long-term one after he underwent an MRI exam on Monday, according to league sources. Mixon left the game under his own power before limping into the medical tent, and he eventually returned to the game. The 28-year-old only played seven offensive snaps after returning to the contest and finished with just nine carries for 25 yards while catching three of five targets for 25 yards through the air. Mixon's status for the Week 3 contest against the Minnesota Vikings is unknown at this time, but we should have a better idea of his availability once the team resumes practicing on Wednesday. If Mixon is limited at all or out this weekend,
Cam Akers and
Dameon Pierce (hamstring) would be in line for bigger roles.

2 hours agoPittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced on Tuesday that the plan is for quarterback
Justin Fields to make another start in Week 3 against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday. The team is "readying itself" for Fields, while
Russell Wilson (calf) won't be a full participant in practices just yet this week. "We'll stay in that mindset until something happens," Tomlin said. Fields hasn't been amazing in two starts to begin the year, but he's led the Steelers to two wins, hasn't turned the ball over and has completed a career-high 69.8% of his passes. For now, Pittsburgh isn't going to rush Wilson back from his calf strain, and if Fields continues to play well, there's a chance that Wilson may not get the starting job back. In addition to taking care of the football, the 25-year-old Fields has carried the ball 22 times for 84 yards. He'll be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in Week 3 versus the Bolts.

5 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles tight end
Dallas Goedert caught three of four targets for 38 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran was expected to see a larger target share with star receiver
A.J. Brown (hamstring) out this week, but depth receiver
Britain Covey saw six targets, and backup
Grant Calcaterra got involved with a couple of targets of his own. Atlanta's defense is no slouch, but this was an underwhelming fantasy performance for Goedert given the Brown injury. He will look to get more involved next week against a red-hot New Orleans Saints team.

5 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
Britain Covey caught all six of his targets for 23 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year receiver saw the second-highest target share of the night behind
DeVonta Smith and was much more effective than preseason acquisition
Jahan Dotson. With
A.J. Brown (hamstring) set to miss a couple of games, Covey should remain a staple in the Eagles' passing attack, especially on short passes and screen plays. While it may not equate to a ton of fantasy value, he is a worthwhile addition in dynasty formats and a floor play in deep PPR leagues heading into the team's Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

5 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith caught seven of 10 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. With
A.J. Brown (hamstring) out for this game, and likely a few more, the Eagles' No. 2 receiver played the No. 1 role and made multiple clutch grabs including a seven-yard touchdown in the second quarter to give the Eagles their first lead of the game. Outside of
Britain Covey, who had six targets, Smith was the only player to see a high target share and should remain a safe WR2 with top-12 upside as long as Brown misses time. The 25-year-old will face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
--Ryan Larrison - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
Jahan Dotson disappeared in Week 2 with two targets and one catch for six yards on Monday against the Falcons. With
A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out of this game, Dotson was a popular waiver-wire addition this week and turned in a dud in a seemingly good spot for him.
Britain Covey (six catches for 23 yards) was more involved than Dotson in this game, further frustrating those who took a flier on Dotson this week. The Penn State product, who came to the Eagles in an offseason trade with Washington, has just three targets in two games this season and is tough to trust moving forward even if Brown misses more time.

5 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back
Saquon Barkley took 22 carries for 95 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old had a great performance throughout the contest but had a costly drop on 3rd and 3 that would have sealed the win for the Eagles. Despite that blunder, Barkley was a fantasy stud again without finding the end zone this week. With none of the other backs ever really getting involved and star wide receiver
A.J. Brown (hamstring) set to miss a few more games, Barkley is set up to be a top-five option again in Week 3 as the Eagles will take on the New Orleans Saints.

5 hours agoAtlanta Falcons kicker
Younghoe Koo connected on all three of his field goal attempts and made his lone extra point in the team's win over Philadelphia on Monday night. The trusted kicker was perfect on the night with a long of 39 yards. Koo is one of the best kickers in the league and showed why on Monday night, despite not having any very long opportunities. Continue to fire up Koo at the kicker position in fantasy lineups each week.

5 hours agoAtlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts saw four targets and hauled in three catches for 20 yards in the team's win over the Eagles on Monday night. The talented tight end was a bit quiet in this one with most of his work coming on underneath routes. Wide receivers
Drake London and Darnell Moody were the main threats in the passing game in this one. Pitts should remain a good option in this offense this season and there will likely be better games ahead for him. This was a disappointing week for Pitts' fantasy managers but that is the reality of the tight end landscape in fantasy this season. He should still be counted on as a weekly starter at the position.
