Breshad Perriman Will Miss Remainder Of Week 2

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) will miss the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers. With Denzel Mims (hamstring) and Jamison Crowder (hamstring) also out, the Jets may continue to lean on Frank Gore on the ground and Chris Hogan as the primary pass-catcher.

Jimmy Garoppolo Out With Ankle Injury

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Drew Lock Will Miss Rest Of Game

Dallas Won't Have Tyron Smith In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is officially inactive for the team's Week 2 contest against the Atlanta Falcons.

You're still starting both of those guys in season-long leagues […]

Jalen Hurts Active In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts is active for Philly's Week 2 game against the Rams.

Hurts could […]

Patriots Won't Be Reckless With Cam Newton

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton enjoyed an impressive debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, completing 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards and running for 75 yards and two scores.

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 1

In fantasy football, we try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players.
