James O'Shaughnessy Questionable To Return

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. O'Shaughnessy has one reception for 24 yards so far in the game and has been the only tight end that quarterback Trevor Lawrence has targeted so far. The Jags tight end room is a mess when it comes […]

Baker Mayfield Returns To Game

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is back in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Mayfield exited with a shoulder injury after trying to make a tackle on an interception and went to the locker room, but it appears he was just banged up. Keep an eye on him to see if there's any discomfort with […]

Baker Mayfield Hurts Shoulder While Trying To Make Tackle

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was taken to the locker room with a shoulder injury after trying to make a tackle after throwing an interception. While Mayfield is reportedly back on the sidelines, it's unclear yet if he'll be able to come back into Sunday's game against the Texans or not. Mayfield is 9-for-11 with […]

Andy Dalton Exits With Injury, Justin Fields In

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton exited Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a non-contact injury after Dalton had scrambled for a long run. Justin Fields is in at quarterback. Non-contact leg injuries are always scary, as that usually means an Achilles or a knee issue. Hopefully, Dalton avoids any kind of long-term injury. Dalton […]

Tua Tagovailoa Questionable To Return With Rib Injury

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (rib) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills with a rib injury. Tagovailoa left the field in pain in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room. It was initially unclear what the injury to Tagovailoa was, but a rib injury seems […]

Jarvis Landry Questionable To Return With Knee Injury

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Landry has one catch for nine yards. With Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) out, the Browns are suddenly thin at receiver. Donovan Peoples-Jones will likely be the primary receiving option if Landry can't return. It's also likely we […]

Tua Tagovailoa Carted Into Locker Room

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was carted into the Dolphins locker room on Sunday. Tagovailoa came out of the game in pain with what looked to be some kind of lower-body injury. He was walking, but was in some clear discomfort after already being sacked three times in the game. The second-year passer has dealt […]

Gabriel Davis Active For Week 2

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis (ankle) will play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Davis hurt his ankle in Week 1 against the Steelers in a game where he had two catches for 40 yards and a touchdown while playing 51 percent of the team's snaps. A banged-up Davis likely won't see a huge […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Active For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (ankle) will play in Week 2 against the Rams. With Parris Campbell (abdomen) out, Pittman and Zach Pascal will work as the top two receivers for quarterback Carson Wentz, with rookie Mike Strachan likely seeing some work as well. The Campbell injury might open the path for more […]

Anthony Schwartz, Jedrick Wills Active

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Anthony Schwartz (hamstring) and left tackle Jedrick Wills (ankle) are both active for Sunday's meeting with the Houston Texans. With Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) sidelined, Schwartz should see plenty of playing time. He had three catches for 69 yards last week and now faces a Texans defense that has a lot […]

Pharaoh Brown Active For Week 2

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (ankle, shoulder) is active for the team's Week 2 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. Brown had a big Week 1 against Jacksonville, catching four passes for 67 yards while playing three-quarters of the team's offensive snaps. It's still too early in the season to know if Brown is worth […]

Broncos Defense Will Have Bradley Chubb In Week 2

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) will make his 2021 debut on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Assuming Chubb is at full strength after bone spur surgery in May, the Broncos defense is set to have a strong day against rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who threw three interceptions against Houston last week. With Chubb in […]

Anthony Miller Inactive For Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller won't make his 2021 debut on Sunday against the Browns, as he's been ruled out for the second week in a row. Miller has no injury designation, but did miss a lot of training camp, so he might just not be ready to be part of this Texans offense. […]

Jonnu Smith Active For Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) was limited in practice at the end of the week, but will play on Sunday when the Patriots face the New York Jets. Smith played over 70 percent of New England's snaps last week in an offense that seems set to feature the tight end position. Smith […]

Preston Williams Active For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot, knee) will make his 2021 debut on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Williams was likely going to be the fourth receiver this season for Miami and have little fantasy relevance, but with Will Fuller out of this game for personal reasons and his status going forward unclear, there's […]

Denzel Mims A Healthy Week 2 Scratch

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 2 contest against the New England Patriots. With Jamison Crowder (groin) inactive, it's a bit of a surprise that Mims won't at least be active, but the Jets will have Keelan Cole (knee) this week. Mims not being able to […]

Parris Campbell Out For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) was trending towards playing in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, but he was named as one of the team's inactives on Sunday morning. Campbell was targeted three times last week, catching one pass for 24 yards while playing 61 percent of the team's snaps. Campbell being […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Inactive For Week 2

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch in Week 2 against the Jets, with running back J.J. Taylor set to make his 2021 debut in his stead. Stevenson had a strong preseason that made many think he could be a valuable fantasy asset this year, but after losing a fumble […]

Jamison Crowder Inactive For Week 2

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is inactive for his team's Week 2 meeting with the New England Patriots. As early as Sunday morning, it sounded like Crowder was trending towards making his 2021 debut for this one, but there must have been some kind of setback in warmups. Crowder would have given […]

Giants Lineman Nick Gates Suffers Leg Fracture

New York Giants offensive lineman Nick Gates was carted off the field in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team with a fractured leg. Gates had been starting at center for the team, but slid over to left guard for Thursday's game after the Giants had traded for Billy Price. New […]

Mekhi Becton Will Have Surgery On Wednesday

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) will surgery on Wednesday and is expected to miss four to eight weeks. One of the most promising young tackles in the NFL, Becton's extended absence will hurt the Jets offense, with both the passing game -- led by rookie quarterback Zach Wilson -- and the running game […]

Tape Tells All: The Houston Texans Week 1 Performance

Welcome to a new season of Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. Usually, I focus on one player.

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Ryan Fitzpatrick now on the injured reserve with a hip injury, Heinicke looks to be Washington’s man going into a Week 2 home date with the Giants. You’ll recall Heinicke nearly played spoiler to Tom Brady’s championship run with a 300-yard game against the Bucs in […]

Jalen Reagor (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a rookie, Jalen Reagor didn't have a lot of good games. This year, he opened the season with six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown. That means Reagor has: Already tied his TD total from last year Set a new career-high […]

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Rondale Moore breakout that everyone had been talking about didn't happen, but he still opened his NFL career with four catches for 68 yards. With A.J. Green converting just two of his six targets into catches, it's not a stretch to think Moore winds up with […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Packers lost 38-3 to New Orleans. It was bad. Really, really bad. But MVS was targeted eight times. Usually, if Aaron Rodgers is targeting you eight times, you'll have a good game. Valdes-Scantling caught just three passes for 17 yards, but I trust this […]
