Dalvin Cook Dominates Again For First Win

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 27 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns as the Vikings picked up their first win of the season in Week 4. It hasn’t been flashy but Cook continues to be one of the elite running backs in the game with 49 carries over the last […]

Nick Chubb Ruled Out For Week 4

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4. Chubb not returning is a bad sign moving forward. If he misses time, Kareem Hunt becomes the bellcow running back for the Browns and a must-start RB2 play moving forward. Hopefully, though, it doesn't come to that and […]

Nick Chubb Questionable To Return In Week 4

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Chubb exited the game in the first half. If Chubb winds up missing time with the injury, Kareem Hunt would take over as the lead back for the team and would be an immediate high-end RB2 option.

Austin Ekeler Helped Off Field

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been taken to the locker room after an apparent hamstring injury. It looked bad, though "looked bad" isn't really a medical diagnosis. We'll await word on how bad the injury really is, but for now, Joshua Kelley is the lead back for the Chargers. If Ekeler misses […]

LeSean McCoy Questionable To Return Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 4 against the Chargers. The Buccaneers are already without Leonard Fournette, so if McCoy is unable to return, they'll have to rely heavily on Ronald Jones II the rest of the way.

Carlos Hyde Out, Chris Carson In For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder) will not play in Week 4 against the Dolphins, while running back Chris Carson (knee) will play. Carson was injured last week and it initially looked like he'd miss time, but everything seems to be a go with him. He'll be the lead back this week and a […]

Texans/Vikings Officially Playing Sunday

It seemed like a foregone conclusion at this point, and with no positive COVID tests coming back on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will officially face the Houston Texans on Sunday. Minnesota managed to avoid getting caught up in the COVID outbreak that befell their Week 3 opponent, the Tennessee Titans. Start all your Vikings and […]

Ronnie Stanley Officially Inactive

Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 4's game against Washington. Not great, as Washington's got a strong pass rush and Stanley's a key piece to this Ravens offensive line. Obviously, quarterback Lamar Jackson is still a must-start fantasy option, but the downgrade to D.J. Fluker at tackle could be enough […]

Michael Burton Active For Week 4

New Orleans Saints fullback Michael Burton is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Burton tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but an additional test showed that it was a false positive. Burton's not a fantasy relevant play, but his availability for this game shows that the league is willing to make a quick turnaround […]

Devonta Freeman Will Start In Week 4

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman will make his first start for his new team on Sunday against the Rams. After receiving just five carries last week, it sounds like head coach Joe Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett are happy with where Freeman is in terms of the playbook. While he's not the […]

Patriots/Chiefs Scheduled For 7:05 ET Monday

The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs Week 4 game has been rescheduled for Monday night at 7:05 ET on CBS. With all the tests coming back negative, the game will take place in Week 4. The only real change here is that the Patriots will be without quarterback Cam Newton, who is expected […]

Titans Could Be Disciplined By NFL

The Tennessee Titans could be disciplined by commissioner Roger Goodell for potential violations of the league's COVID-19 protocols. The league is investigating whether or not the Titans skirted protocols on the wearing of mandatory Kinexon tracking devices, which would have lead to gaps in contact tracing. The team also could have failed to accurately report […]

Tyron Smith Expected To Play Against Browns

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is expected to play in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. Smith hasn't played since Week 1, though head coach Mike McCarthy said that he's "done everything that was set out for him." Smith could make things run more smoothly for the Cowboys offense, as he remains one […]

Patriots, Chiefs Looking To Play Monday

The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs are looking to play their game on Monday rather than Tuesday after Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (COVID-19) tested positive for the virus. No other Patriots players have tested positive since the Newton news, so hopefully it stays that way. If the tests continue to come back negative […]

Chris Carson Expected To Play

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (knee) is expected to suit up against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Carson sprained his knee late in the game against Dallas in Week 3, though head coach Pete Carroll was optimistic about his status for Week 4. Carson could potentially operate as the team's lead back if Carlos […]

Kareem Hunt Expected To Be In Mix For Sunday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) is likely to play in Sunday’s contest versus the Cowboys. Hunt had been limited in practice throughout the week, but that won’t appear to be enough to keep him sidelined during what should be a high-scoring affair in Dallas. Having accrued receiving touchdowns in each of the past […]

Joe Mixon Likely To Take Field Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (chest) gave some fantasy managers a scare when he was a late addition to the team’s injury report, but it appears that he is healthy enough to play Sunday against Jacksonville. Yet to find the end zone over the first three weeks of the year, Mixon is scuffling to […]
