Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began.

[…]

The Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 4

We're cooking with gas now and officially entering Week 4. Keep tinkering with your roster, especially with those last 1–2 bench spots.

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance had 49ers fans going wild after he scored his first career rushing touchdown in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

Another week of NFL football is almost in the books and once again scoring was held relatively in check. Only six teams were able to able to surpass 30 points scored across the league despite several matchups that should have had shootout conditions.

Offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson worked out for the New York Giants on Tuesday. Wilson was a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2020, but he only played in one game due to numerous off-the-field incidents. Wilson was then dealt to the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but he only lasted 12 days with more off-the-field […]

Seahawks Waive Jake Luton

The Seattle Seahawks waived quarterback Jake Luton on Tuesday. Luton had been inactive in all three games this season. Veteran Geno Smith will now be the lone option backing up Russell Wilson, although it's certainly possible that Luton is brought back to be a member of the practice squad. Luton played in three games for […]

Broncos Elevate Brett Rypien To Active Roster

The Denver Broncos have promoted quarterback Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active roster.

Indianapolis Colts offensive guard Quenton Nelson (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 3 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he will be evaluated this week.

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.
