James 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 […]

Trey 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 […]

Ben 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 […]

Patrick 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) […]

David 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 […]

Vernon 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 […]

David 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 […]

Tom 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 […]

Kenyan 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 […]

Sam 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 […]

Amari 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 […]

Damien 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 […]

Tyler 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 […]

Seahawks 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 […]

Mark 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 […]

Andy Isabella A Healthy Scratch Against Ravens

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella is a healthy inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens. The 22-year-old didn't have a single target in Week 1 and is well behind fellow rookie teammate Keesean Johnson on the depth chart. He also has Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Michael Crabtree and Damiere Byrd ahead of him, […]

Mike Williams Active For Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Lions. It was reported early Sunday that Williams would likely be just a red-zone threat for the Bolts on Sunday if he played. That means that the Chargers will predictably lean on running back Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen with […]

Joe Mixon Playing Against 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is active for Week 2 against the 49ers. Mixon does have a good matchup against a Niners team that gave up healthy ground yardage against Tampa in the season opener, but Mixon will have a lot of volatility and could have his snaps limited while playing through his […]

Nick Bosa Active For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) is active in Week 2 against the Bengals. Bosa had his snaps limited in his NFL debut last week against the Buccaneers, but when he was on the field he was productive, so his presence on Sunday won't be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton in […]

Matthew Stafford Without Left Tackle Against Chargers

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (back) has been ruled out in Week 2 against the Chargers. It's a downgrade for quarterback Matthew Stafford on Sunday, and he could be facing a lot of pressure from pass-rushers Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa. Stafford looked good in Week 1 throwing the football, but that was also […]

Cody Latimer Active Against Bills

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is active in Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, Latimer will likely start opposite Bennie Fowler with Russell Shepard in the slot in three-receiver sets. The Giants will run their offense through running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram on Sunday […]

Dak Prescott's Extension Talks Have Stalled

The Dallas Cowboys' contract-extension talks with quarterback Dak Prescott have reached an impasse after owner Jerry Jones called a deal imminent just last week. Not much is going on and nothing is expected to happen for the foreseeable future, according to sources. Prescott could be holding out for a shorter-term deal that a lot of […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Trade Could Come Soon

The Miami Dolphins could wind up trading defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick as early as next week, and the Dolphins are reportedly looking for a first-round pick in return. Miami isn't actively shopping him, but they are certainly open to discussing a trade for the former first-round selection. The interest around the league for Fitzpatrick is […]

Sam Darnold Could Be Out 3-7 Weeks

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is out for Monday night against the Browns with mononucleosis and could miss anywhere from three to seven weeks, according to sources. The illness affected Darnold in the season-opening loss to the Bills, and he's being quarantined from the rest of the team. At the very least, you […]

Demaryius Thomas Questionable Against Browns

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to play on Monday night against the Browns in Week 2. Thomas hasn't practiced all week and is probably on the wrong side of questionable for this one. Quincy Enunwa's season-ending injury is good news for Thomas having a role with Gang Green this year, […]

Dontrell Hilliard Ruled Out

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Jets. With Hilliard out, D'Ernest Johnson will be the direct backup to Nick Chubb on Monday, but Johnson won't have any standalone fantasy value. Chubb should see plenty of touches and is a definite […]

Damarious Randall Ruled Out For Browns Defense

Cleveland Browns free safety Damarious Randall (concussion) came in with concussion symptoms on Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Jets. Randall's absence is a downgrade to the team's secondary, but it might not matter with the Browns taking on Jets backup Trevor Siemian in Week 2. Despite Randall's absence, the […]

James White Making Trip To Miami

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots running back James White is making the trip to Miami and is expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. There was speculation earlier that White would be missing the game with his wife expecting a child. New England's matchup with the Dolphins Defense this Sunday really […]

J.J. Nelson Ruled Out For Raiders

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Chiefs at home. Nelson didn't put up any numbers in the regular season opener against the Broncos and is currently behind Tyrell Williams, Ryan Grant, Dwayne Harris and rookie Hunter Renfrow on the receiving […]

Marqise Lee, A.J. Bouye Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (hip) have both been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Texans. Neither player will travel with the team to Houston. Lee is fourth on the receiver depth chart right now behind Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley, so he's not even […]
