Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) suffered an ankle injury late in the Week 2 win over the Raiders and is undergoing an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAdrian Phillips Out Indefinitely For Chargers Defense
Los Angeles Chargers safety Adrian Phillips (forearm) suffered a broken forearm in the Week 2 loss to the Lions and is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, according to a league source. Phillips was replacing All-Pro safety Derwin James in the Bolts secondary, so this latest injury is just another blow to the Chargers Defense early […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCorey Clement Added To List Of Eagles Wounded
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (shoulder) left the Week 2 game on Sunday night against the Falcons with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return. Clement is Philly's main kick returner, and he was injured early in the third quarter on a kickoff in which he fumbled to give the ball right back […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAlshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Both Hurt Sunday Night
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) were both injured on Sunday night in Week 2 against the Falcons and are questionable to return. Tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) also left and is questionable to return. It has predictably affected quarterback Carson Wentz's performance, as he's just 4-for-9 for 37 yards […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDrew Brees To See Hand Specialist
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (hand) will be examined by a hand specialist in Los Angeles on Sunday night after leaving the Week 2 game early in the first quarter against the Rams. Brees' right thumb collided with defensive tackle Aaron Donald's hand, and the future Hall of Fame quarterback couldn't even grip a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDallas Goedert Questionable To Return Sunday Night
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) is listed as questionable to return in Week 2 on Sunday night against the Falcons due to a calf injury. Goedert wasn't targeted before leaving the game. As long as Zach Ertz is healthy, Goedert is nothing more than a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 in this offense. If he […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDamien Williams Injures Knee Against Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) injured his knee in Week 2 against the Raiders and is questionable to return. Williams turned in a dud before his injury with the Chiefs leading 28-10, rushing only nine times for eight yards (0.9 yards per tote) while catching three of his five targets in the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavid Johnson Feels Good To Go
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) said his left wrist is "good" and he feels "good to go" after the Week 2 loss to the Ravens. Johnson said it was a "big relief" not to have suffered a serious injury. The team's lead ball carrier had just seven rushes for 14 yards (2.0 yards […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyler Higbee Injured Sunday
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 2 game against the Saints with a chest injury. Higbee caught two of his three targets for 21 yards before leaving. Even in this high-ceiling offense, Higbee remains more of a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 when he's healthy. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJoe Staley Suffers Fractured Fibula
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a fractured left fibula in the Week 2 win over the Bengals when running back Raheem Mostert ran into Staley's leg from behind. The offensive lineman said he's expected to be out six to eight weeks. It's a big and notable loss to San Francisco's offensive […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDrew Brees Injures Right Hand Against Rams
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) injured his right hand in Week 2 against the Rams and is on the sidelines. Brees has his right thumb wrapped and hasn't even attempted to throw a football while backup Teddy Bridgewater is in the game against Los Angeles. It's a worst-case scenario for Brees owners, especially […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDevin Singletary Injures Hamstring Sunday
Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury late in the Week 2 game against the Giants and has been ruled out for the game. The rookie ran six times for 57 and a touchdown (9.5 yards per carry) but wasn't targeted at all in the passing game before his injury. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJoe Staley Carted Off With Leg Injury
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a potentially serious leg injury in Week 2 against the Bengals and was carted off the field. This has the looks of an injury that could be a season-ender for Staley. It'd be a big loss to San Fran's offensive line and a downgrade moving forward […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCody Latimer Suffers Concussion, Ruled Out
New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the Bills and was ruled out for the rest of the game. The Giants remaining receivers are Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard, Cody Core and T.J. Jones with Sterling Shepard (concussion) inactive for the game. That's just plain bad. Latimer caught […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJames Conner Injured Against Seahawks
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) injured his knee in Week 2 against the Steelers and is questionable to return. Conner had 11 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown and also caught three passes for 12 yards before leaving. If his injury puts him in danger of missing any time, Jaylen Samuels will […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTrey Burton Making Season Debut Against Broncos
Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) is active in Week 2 against the Broncos after sitting out the season opener last week. In an offense that didn't look very impressive in Week 1, Burton shouldn't be in many starting fantasy lineups Sunday on the road against a respectable defense, although Denver did allow a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoBen Roethlisberger Injures Right Elbow
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) injured his right elbow in Week 2 against the Seahawks and isn't starting the second half. Mason Rudolph is under center to start the second half. Big Ben is questionable to return. He had a very quiet first half against Seattle, going 8-for-15 for only 75 yards with no […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoPatrick Mahomes Will Have Eric Fisher Protecting Him
Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (groin) is active in Week 2 against the Raiders on the road. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes would've been the top fantasy option at QB regardless of whether Fisher was active or not, but this just helps his outlook against a Raiders secondary that lost rookie safety Jonathan Abram (shoulder) […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavid Johnson Returns After Injury
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) returned to the Week 2 game against the Ravens after injuring his wrist in the first quarter. Johnson's owners can let out a sigh of relief now. It'll be tough for him not to turn out being a bust this week, though, as he […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoVernon Davis Questionable To Return Against Cowboys
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (eye) was injured in Week 2 against the Cowboys and is questionable to return. Davis wasn't targeted at all in the passing game before going down. With Jordan Reed (concussion) inactive for the second straight week, Jeremy Sprinkle would be the only tight end left active for the 'Skins […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavid Johnson Injured Sunday
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) suffered a wrist injury in the first quarter of Week 2 against the Ravens and is questionable to return. Johnson ran three times for seven yards and caught one pass for no gain before getting injured. A first-round pick in fantasy leagues, losing Johnson would be devastating for […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTom Brady's Left Tackle Injured Against Miami
New England Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn (foot) was injured in Week 2 against the Dolphins and is questionable to return. Right tackle Marcus Cannon is inactive on Sunday with an injury of his own, so injuries are already wreaking havoc on the team's offensive line early in the year. It remains to be seen […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKenyan Drake On The Trade Block?
While there are reports spreading that the Miami Dolphins have had trade talks with other teams surrounding running back Kenyan Drake this week, the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero is reporting that the team has had zero conversations with other teams about trading him, according to a club source. It wouldn't be a surprise if the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoSam Darnold Hoping To Return In Week 5
Updating a previous report, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) said he's feeling much better and hopes doctors let him rejoin the team this week. He was told to take 21 days to recover from mononucleosis and is hoping to come back after the team's Week 4 bye. Darnold said he hasn't lost much […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAmari Cooper Not In A Rush To Sign Extension
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is being extra patient in contract-extension talks and is the only Dallas player less likely to re-sign this season, according to league sources. With Saints wideout Michael Thomas landing a deal that pays him $20 million a year and Falcons receiver Julio Jones earning $22 million per year, Cooper […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDamien Harris, Jakobi Meyers Inactive
New England Patriots rookie running back Damien Harris and rookie wide receiver Jakobi Meyers are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Dolphins. Both players have exciting long-term appeal for those in dynasty leagues, but the Patriots are just too stacked at running back and receiver now for either of them to make an […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyler Kroft Inactive Against Giants
Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) is inactive in Week 2 against the Giants for the second straight week. Kroft is improving, though, and should be able to make his season debut in Week 3. However, Kroft will be a bottom-barrel TE2 whenever he does suit up. Rookies Tommy Sweeney and Dawson Knox will […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoSeahawks Defense Without Ziggy Ansah Again
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) is inactive in Week 2 against the Steelers. Ansah will have to wait another week to make his debut with the team. The Seahawks are being very cautious with the injury-prone pass-rusher, but he should be back soon. It's good news for Ben Roethlisberger and company as they […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMark Ingram, Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Playing Sunday
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), tight end Mark Andrews (foot) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) are all active in Week 2 against the Cardinals, as expected. All three players had huge weeks in the season opener and could all shine again against a weak Cardinals Defense at home. Ingram has clear […]
