Ito Smith Leaves Game In First Quarter With Head Injury

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (head) was carted off the field after sustaining an injury in pass protection. Smith only had one touch in the game, a seven-yard carry, before his day was over. The injury looked like a bad one and he will likely be headed into concussion protocol. The team's starting running […]

His day was shortened when he was ejected early in the third quarter for throwing a punch at Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald.

Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley Back After Injury Scares

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram are both back after earlier injury scares.

Ito Smith Carted Off The Field

David Johnson Active, Christian Kirk Out

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (thigh) is officially active for Week 7 against the Falcons after sitting out last week. He's back in the RB2 mix in a good matchup against the Falcons, especially since backup Malcolm Brown (ankle) is inactive. Gurley should have a decent workload in this one, but rookie Darrell […]

Devin Singletary Officially Active For Week 7

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is officially active for Week 7 against the Dolphins.

Melvin Gordon Won’t Return To Fantasy Dominance This Week

Melvin Gordon has been off to a shaky start this year after missing four weeks of the season due to his holdout. He’s put up a lowly 31 and 18 yards respectively in his first two games. He plays a stiff Titans run defense this week. On the season, the Titans haven’t allowed much fantasy […]

Austin Ekeler Is No More Than A Flex Against The Titans

Austin Ekeler started the season with a bang, but the Ekeler show ended when Melvin Gordon returned to the fold. Ekeler barely left the sidelines last week against the Steelers.
