Bills Defense Will Be Without Jordan Poyer

Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for the Week 4 tilt against the Houston Texans.

The Houston Texans placed linebacker Zach Cunningham and defensive lineman Ross Blacklock on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, so they will not play in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills.

Za'Darius Smith Out Indefinitely After Back Surgery

Green Bay Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith (back) had back surgery this week and is expected to be out for an extended period of time, according to sources. However, the good news is that the team is hoping it's not a season-ending situation. Smith is currently on Injured Reserve, but now he's guaranteed to miss more […]

T.J. Watt Returning After One-Game Absence

Pittsburgh Steelers superstar pass-rusher T.J. Watt (groin) was a full practice participant for the second straight day on Friday and was removed from the final Week 4 injury report against the Green Bay Packers. It's great news for the Steelers defense, but it won't change the fact that Pittsburgh's defensive unit is off the fantasy […]

Richard Sherman Will Be Active Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman will be active on Sunday night against the New England Patriots after having a good week of practice with his new team.

Week 4 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

It's another week and another series of breakouts and injuries for IDP managers to consider. We will first start with the biggest breakout of this season so far, Logan Wilson. Last week, the Bengals' linebacker was our IDP Streamer of the Week, and he came through with two interceptions and 14 total tackles. That production […]

T.J. Watt Practices In Full Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday.

Carlos Hyde Inactive For Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde will be inactive for Week 4 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Robinson should be considered a […]

Tee Higgins Remains Inactive With Shoulder Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) will miss his second game of the season in Week 4 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Marcus Maye Out 3-4 Weeks

New York Jets franchise-tagged safety Marcus Maye (ankle) will miss three to four weeks with an ankle injury, according to a source. Maye is one of New York's best all-around defenders, so this is a big hit to their defense in the short term. The 28-year-old ranks tied for 14th in fantasy points in IDP […]

Richard Sherman Signs With Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent defensive back Richard Sherman on Tuesday. He visited Tampa Bay on Monday and ultimately ended up agreeing on a deal.

K’Von Wallace Out Three To Six Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles safety K'Von Wallace (shoulder) will miss the next three to six weeks of action with a partially separated shoulder. The injury occurred as he attempted to tackle Ezekiel Elliott in a very hard collision. Wallace has three solo tackles on the season and has been a solid part of the Eagles' strong pass […]

Jamel Dean Avoids Serious Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean (knee) has avoided a serious injury after Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. His status for Week 4 is still up in the air, which is likely the reason why free agent Richard Sherman is visiting with the team. The Buccaneers secondary needs all the help they can […]

Richard Sherman Visiting With Buccaneers

Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman will visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The star corner was a big part of San […]

Terron Armstead To Miss Several Weeks With Elbow Injury

New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Terron Armstead (elbow) will miss several weeks with an elbow injury, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's undoubtedly another blow to a Saints offensive line already down Erik McCoy (calf)- though it's a relief to hear that Armstead, whose injury was feared to be season-ending, will be able to […]

Josh Norman Dealing With Chest Injury

San Francisco 49ers defensive back Josh Norman (chest) was taken to the hospital Sunday night after exiting the first half of Week 3's 30-28 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Blake Martinez Suffers Torn ACL

New York Giants linebacker Blake Martinez (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and is out for the season. This is a significant blow to a middling Giants defense that will now be without its top linebacker. The 27-year-old underwent an MRI on Monday, which confirmed a torn ACL. Martinez […]

Joey Bosa Has Chance To Play

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot, ankle) is a game-time decision but has a shot to suit up against the Chiefs. Bosa was not able to practice this week. It's certainly not ideal for a premium pass-rusher to be dealing with lower-body injuries- though it's at least encouraging that the team is optimistic […]

Chris Jones Expected To Play

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (wrist) is questionable but will suit up Sunday against the Chargers. Jones was limited in practice all week but should be out there for a big divisional contest against Los Angeles. His presence is great news for the Chiefs' defense, as he has racked up 32 sacks and […]

Justin Jones Will Miss Week 3 Matchup Against Chiefs

Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman Justin Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest vs. Kansas City. Since starting Week 1 and playing just 16 defensive snaps, Jones has been unable to get back onto the field for what could be an impactful L.A. D-line with all parties healthy. With Joey Bosa (ankle) currently […]

Matt Ioannidis Ruled Out For Week 3 Against Buffalo

Washington Football Team defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis (knee) has been deemed unavailable to suit up for Sunday's matchup vs. the Bills. Ioannidis had been questionable to play throughout the week after sustaining a knee ailment in Week 2; his absence stands to serve as a blow to the depth along the D-line for the Washington […]

Eddie Goldman Will Remain Sidelined For Week 3

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. The anticipated return of Goldman to the Bears defense will have to wait another week, as the nose tackle remains sidelined by a knee ailment. Margus Hunt was flexed from the practice squad onto the active roster, providing […]

T.J. Watt Downgraded To Out In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watt was close to getting the green light, so there's a good chance that he'll be able to return in Week 4, barring any setbacks. With Watt sitting out, Melvin Ingram will see more playing […]

Bud Dupree Questionable For Week 3

Tennessee Titans linebacker Bud Dupree (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He was limited in Thursday's practice but missed Friday's session. The 28-year-old is a game-time decision and is trending in the wrong direction to suit up in Week 3. Dupree logged 39 snaps and racked up just one tackle in […]

Marshon Lattimore Will Play In Week 3

New Orleans Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore (thumb) is expected to play Week 3 against the New England Patriots. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and removed from the team's injury report altogether. Lattimore's presence only helps the Saints secondary, and the star cornerback's return is a downgrade to Mac Jones and the […]

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. Head coach Andy Reid also said that it's the same hamstring that Clark injured in training camp, which is notable. Defensive tackle Chris Jones (wrist) and cornerback […]

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 […]
