Raiders Not Planning To Have Antonio Brown For Week 1
The Oakland Raiders are not planning to have wide receiver Antonio Brown for Week 1 against the Broncos on Monday night, according to sources. However, it's not clear if it's a suspension or if the Raiders will just make him inactive. Brown is likely to stay away from the team. This situation has gone from […]
Marqise Lee Looking Good In Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) has performed well in practices in the last week. Lee was a full participant in practice on Thursday and should be good to go for Week 1 on Sunday against the Chiefs at home. Lee is listed as a starter on the […]
49ers Defense May Be Without Jimmie Ward
San Francisco 49ers safety Jimmie Ward (finger) suffered a fractured finger in practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 1 against the Buccaneers is now in question. The former first-rounder continues to be injury-prone after breaking his forearm the last two years. He also fractured his foot and shoulder earlier in his career. With […]
Cowboys Not Negotiating With Amari Cooper
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said "there hasn't been a lot of negotiations" toward a contract extension for wide receiver Amari Cooper. DallasCowboys.com's David Helman speculates that Cooper isn't in a rush to reach an extension with Falcons wideout Julio Jones about to change the market in the near future. Cooper's move from […]
D.K. Metcalf Says He's 100 Percent
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) said he's 100 percent and is ready for all the repetitions that the team wants to give him on Sunday in Week 1 against the Bengals. Metcalf recovered quickly from his knee scope and should be able to suit up in his first NFL game. Even with […]
Alshon Jeffery On Week 1 Injury Report
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (biceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like Jeffery's injury is very serious and he should play in Week 1 on Sunday against the Redskins, but it's something worth watching. In a potent offense as the team's top wideout, Jeffery should have a fine […]
Todd Gurley Won't Be On Snap Count Sunday
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley will not be on a snap count in the season opener on Sunday against the Panthers. Gurley's knee issues were the talk of the offseason, and his fantasy value fell accordingly with talk of the Rams devising a plan this year to […]
Keke Coutee Limited Thursday
Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday. There's more hope that Coutee will suit up in Week 1 against the Saints on Monday night, although it's not completely certain yet. If he's active, Coutee will be in the slot with DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller on the outside. This […]
Marquise Brown Added To Injury Report
Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was added to the injury report on Thursday but was a full participant in practice. Brown will make his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but he's merely an afterthought for redraft lineups while recovering from a Lisfranc injury. The speedster and deep threat will […]
Julio Jones Unsure If He'll Play Sunday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said he's trying to be out there for Week 1 against the Vikings, but "he doesn't know" if he'll play if he doesn't have a new contract. This is the last thing Jones' fantasy owners wanted to hear with the regular season opener just a few days away. Jones […]
Nick Bosa Will Play For 49ers Defense In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) will play in the team's season opener against the Buccaneers on Sunday, according to defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. The No. 2 overall pick of the draft will start his rookie season on the field, and he'll help boost San Fran's pass rush in a big way […]
Cam Newton's Mobility Is Fine
Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) mobility has been good in practice and he feels like the signal-caller will be able to do the things he normally does in Week 1 on Sunday against the Rams. Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third preseason game but is past […]
Derrius Guice To Start, Adrian Peterson Could Be Healthy Scratch
Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden plans to start running back Derrius Guice in Week 1 on Sunday against the Eagles, but he hasn't decided whether the team will dress two more or three more running backs. Adrian Peterson could be the odd man out this weekend as a healthy scratch. Guice is the younger […]
Jordan Reed Not Cleared, Paul Richardson Progressing
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol as of Thursday. Head coach Jay Gruden said he was "very encouraged" by how wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) ran in practice on Thursday. Reed has been looking better and could be cleared on Friday, but until then he remains nothing more than a […]
Seahawks Have High Expectations For Rashaad Penny
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and the rest of the coaching staff have high expectations for second-year running back Rashaad Penny. "He’s talented, he’s explosive, he’s in great shape. He’s the smartest he’s ever been, he can catch the football, his pass protection has improved. Every aspect of his game is at it’s best," […]
Odell Beckham Jr. Yet To Run Full Speed
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) admitted that he hasn't opened up and run at full speed yet because he doesn't want to risk making his injury worse before the regular season opener on Sunday against the Titans. It makes you wonder if he'll be rusty this weekend after having not played at […]
Stefon Diggs Returns To Practice
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Vikings likely held Diggs out on Wednesday as a precaution ahead of Week 1 this Sunday. In a good matchup against the Falcons at home, Diggs profiles as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 to start the 2019 […]
Jordan Reed Seen At Practice Thursday
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) was seen at practice stretching on Thursday. Reed has responded well to increased activities over the last few days and is trending in the right direction for Week 1 against the Eagles, although there's still a chance he'll be listed as questionable come Friday. Reed's biggest issue has […]
Cowboys Not Saying If Ezekiel Elliott Will Be On Pitch Count
Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said "it's too early for any of that" when asked if running back Ezekiel Elliott will be on a pitch count in Week 1 against the Giants on Sunday. Elliott held out all of training camp and the preseason before finally signing an extension on Wednesday, but he looked […]
Trumaine Johnson Expected To Start For Jets Defense
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said he's "leaning" toward cornerback Trumaine Johnson (hamstring) practicing fully on Thursday, and he thinks that Johnson will start against the Bills in Week 1 on Sunday. Having Johnson on the field on Sunday will be huge as they try to slow down wide receiver John Brown deep […]
Robby Anderson Ready To Roll
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) looks good and is ready to roll on Sunday in Week 1 against the Bills. The Jets have just being cautious with Anderson's injury as the regular season approaches. Anderson will be quarterback Sam Darnold's No. 1 receiving weapon again in […]
Tyler Higbee Reaches Extension With Rams
The Los Angeles Rams agreed to a four-year contract extension with tight end Tyler Higbee on Thursday, according to a source. The deal will keep Higbee around through the 2023 season and also makes him a top-10 paid tight end in the league. He may be one of the best-paid tight ends in the league, […]
Mark Ingram The Ravens Starter
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram will be the starter in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that "everybody is going to contribute." Ingram will get first dibs on carries in this great matchup -- he's a strong RB2 this weekend -- but the Ravens will also mix in Gus […]
Raiders Planning To Suspend Antonio Brown
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown and general manager Mike Mayock got into it on Wednesday, and the team is planning to suspend their star receiver, according to league sources. Brown has done nothing but cause drama in his time with the Raiders, and the regular season still hasn't officially started. The outspoken wideout hasn't […]
Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson To Share The Load
Los Angeles Chargers running backs Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson will share the backfield work with Melvin Gordon's contract holdout seeping into the regular season. Change-of-pace back Ekeler will get the start, and you can expect second-year back Jackson to also get touches against the Colts. "I've always used those guys as a tandem," head […]
Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard Lead Committee Approach
Since Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was hired in 2016, the team has stuck with a committee approach at running back, and that won't change in 2019. “I believe the National Football League season is a grueling, grinding season, particularly on running backs,” Pederson said Wednesday. “And if you don’t have a couple of […]
Cameron Brate Limited Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Brate should be fine to play in Week 1 against the 49ers, but he'll be the backup pass-catching tight end to O.J. Howard. The 28-year-old has seen his receptions drop each of the last two years, and he finished the 2018 […]
Dante Pettis Limited In Practice
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday. All signs point to Pettis suiting up as the team's No. 1 receiver for Week 1 on the road against the Buccaneers. The coaching staff was surprisingly down on Pettis in training camp and the preseason, but he could wind up […]
Devin Funchess Limited Wednesday
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback later this week, Funchess should be a go for Week 1 on Sunday against the Chargers on the road. Funchess' appeal as a late-round sleeper went out the window when Andrew Luck retired. He could still have some decent […]
Demaryius Thomas Limited In Practice Wednesday
New England Patriots wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Thomas should be healthy enough to suit up in Week 1 on Sunday night against the Steelers, but his standing on the depth chart is what will likely make him a non-factor in fantasy to begin the year. Julian […]
