Jumping Ship on Bad Offenses?

Sometimes, a bad offense can sink a good player. It happens every year. In 2020, for instance, the Bengals scored the fourth-fewest points in the NFL. Tyler Boyd was targeted 10 times, but only finished with 841 yards and four touchdowns, dropping almost 10 yards per game over his 2019 numbers despite a catch rate […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

NFL Week 2 was extremely chaotic, with injuries happening at a blistering pace. But wide receiver ended up being a fairly safe position this week, aside from multiple Texans wideouts getting hurt ahead of a a short week for the Texans. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire […]

Christian McCaffrey Back In The Game

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) exited Sunday's game against the Saints, but the star rusher eventually returned to the field and managed to add a touchdown to his stat sheet. Considering McCaffrey re-entered this contest, we can safely assume he's good-to-go moving forward. He remains the overall RB1 in redraft and dynasty leagues.

Carson Wentz Exits In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankle) left Sunday's game against the Rams with an an ankle injury, and quarterback Jacob Eason checked in to replace him late in the game. Eason quickly threw an interception, so that's not a great sign for the Colts offense if Wentz misses any time. Wentz was 20-for-31 for 245 yards […]

Elijah Mitchell Questionable To Return

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles. With the 49ers up two scores in the fourth quarter, Mitchell will likely miss the remainder of this one, with JaMycal Hasty seeing lead-back work down the stretch. Mitchell had 14 carries for 32 yards and two […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Goes To Locker Room

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has gone to the locker room with what appears to be an upper-body injury. Considering it's the fourth quarter of this game, it wouldn't be a shock to see Henderson ruled out, even if the injury doesn't wind up being serious. Henderson has 13 carries for 53 […]

Christian McCaffrey Questionable To Return In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. With the Panthers up 17-0, the team might play things safe with McCaffrey, who appeared to be having leg cramps on the sideline. McCaffrey has 17 carries for 58 yards and four catches for 56 yards. […]

Anthony Firkser Out For Week 2

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 2 contest against Seattle. Firkser had three catches for 19 yards last week while playing 48 percent of Tennessee's snaps, so it's not like many people were counting on him as their TE1 this week, but Firkser is a popular TE2 option […]

Brandon Graham, Brandon Brooks Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) and offensive guard Brandon Brooks (chest) have both been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the 49ers. The Graham injury looked particularly bad, as he was helped off the field and then carted to the locker room. The Eagles losing crucial pieces of […]

Taylor Lewan Injured In Warmups, Inactive For Week 2

Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan was injured in pregame warmups and limped off the field. He is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Lewan missed much of 2020 with a torn ACL but is one of the NFL's best linemen when healthy. His absence will make it tougher for the Titans […]

Bradley Chubb Ruled Out In Week 2

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) is out for the rest of the team's Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's the same ankle that Chubb had surgery on in May and that kept him out in Week 1. Clearly, Chubb wasn't quite ready to return to the field. A crucial part of this […]

Jarvis Landry Ruled Out With Knee Injury

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) won't return in Week 2, with the team fearing that Landry has a sprained MCL. Usually, that injury keeps a player sidelined for two to four weeks. Landy had one catch for nine yards in this game. No wide receiver on the team has more than two catches at […]

Danny Amendola, Nico Collins Both Ruled Out

In a game where the team also lost quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring), the Houston Texans have ruled out a pair of wide receivers, with Danny Amendola (hamstring) and Nico Collins (shoulder) both set to miss the rest of Week 2. Collins had one catch for 32 yards. Amendola had one catch for nine yards. Rookie […]

Tyrod Taylor Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 2

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) won't return in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns, with rookie quarterback Davis Mills coming in to replace Taylor. Taylor was 10-for-11 for 125 yards and a touchdown and also had a 15-yard touchdown run. Taylor was looking like a solid QB2 play on a weekly basis, but this […]

Nico Collins Questionable To Return With Shoulder Injury

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted once in the first half, catching a 32-yard pass. If Collins remains out, Chris Conley will see more snaps, though it doesn't matter too much when it comes to fantasy, as […]

Tyson Alualu Ruled Out, T.J. Watt Questionable To Return

The Steelers defense has suffered two big injuries on Sunday against the Raiders, with defensive lineman Tyson Alualu ruled out with a fractured ankle and linebacker T.J. Watt questionable to return with a groin injury. Both players are starters on this team, which also entered today without linebacker Devin Bush (groin) and defensive back Joe […]

Bradley Chubb Questionable To Return With Ankle Injury

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) made his 2021 debut on Sunday against the Jaguars, but has exited the game and is questionable to return. Chubb had ankle surgery back in May and missed Week 1. He has one tackle so far in Sunday's game. If Chubb winds up missing time, the Broncos defense takes […]

Tua Tagovailoa Suffers Bruised Ribs

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered bruised ribs in Sunday's game against the Bills and will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury. Tua is still technically questionable to return, but we should expect to see Jacoby Brissett in at quarterback for the rest of this game. Tagovailoa was 1-for-4 for 13 yards […]

Andy Dalton Questionable To Return With Knee Injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He exited earlier in the game after pulling up while scrambling out of bounds, but eventually returned to the field before leaving again late in the second quarter. Dalton was having a strong game, going 9-for-10 for 56 […]

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 […]
