Patriots Defense Not Dependable Against San Francisco

The New England Patriots' defense lacks fantasy appeal heading into a Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Joey Slye Off Fantasy Radar With Tough Matchup

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye isn't worth rostering in fantasy football ahead of Week 4 versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Jaylen Warren Sidelined Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. Now, less than three days until Pittsburgh's Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts, it looks like Warren is trending toward being inactive, though Friday's injury report should provide more context surrounding his status. If he is indeed sidelined, Najee Harris […]

Najee Harris Back At Practice, Good To Go For Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (rest) practiced in a full capacity on Thursday, according to the team.
