Jack Conklin Carted Off Field Sunday, Ruled Out

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) was carted off the field and ruled out for the remainder of Week 1 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cameron Heyward Questionable To Return Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward (groin) exited Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers and is questionable to return. Isaiahh Loudermilk and Armon Watts are next up on the team's depth chart. They should see an uptick in snaps until Heyward is able to return.

Rashaad Penny Expected To Be Inactive Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny is expected to be a healthy scratch in Week 1, per Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Enquirer. This is a surprising development considering Penny was a candidate to start and handle the bulk of Philadelphia's carries.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans. This was widely expected after the rookie was unable to practice in any capacity this past week. Jamaal Williams will start at running back, as expected, while ranking as an RB2 in fantasy football.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) is officially inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice this past week. Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will handle the bulk of opportunities out of the backfield, as expected.

Marquise Brown, Zach Ertz Officially Active Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) and Zach Ertz (knee) are both officially active for Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. Brown is a talented player and Arizona's No. 1 receiver, but he's a low-end WR3 in fantasy football with Joshua Dobbs starting at quarterback. As for Ertz, the 32-year-old is set to play […]

Zack Moss Officially Inactive Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) is officially inactive for Week 1 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was expected after the team downgraded him to doubtful over the weekend.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quadriceps) is officially inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Houston Texans. He was listed as questionable entering the weekend, but reports late Saturday night suggested Andrews would be unable to suit up.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) could return around midseason, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. The team is reportedly "pleased with the work ethic, rehab, and study habits" of its star quarterback as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered last season. When Murray returns, he'll be a fantasy QB1 while also elevating […]

Dalvin Cook To Get Bulk Of Touches As Jets Ease In Breece Hall

New York Jets running back Dalvin Cook is expected to handle the bulk of the workload as Breece Hall (knee) is eased back in following last season's ACL tear, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren To Split Carries Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are expected to split carries against the San Francisco 49ers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

De'Von Achane Not Expected To Play Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Jerry Jeudy Not Expected To Play Week 1

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring), who had been listed as questionable, is expected to be inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

Devon Witherspoon Not Expected To Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. His NFL debut will have to wait another week. Tre Brown or Mike Jackson should handle additional snaps until Witherspoon is healthy enough to return.

Jonathan Taylor Trade Talks To Continue, Has "Slim" Chance Of Returning To Colts

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is healthy enough to pass a physical to return from the PUP list today, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

George Kittle Expected To Play Week 1

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is expected to suit up Sunday despite being listed as questionable, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Darren Waller Expected To Play In Week 1

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to suit up versus the Dallas Cowboys despite being listed as questionable, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Zach Ertz Likely To Play Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) had been listed as questionable but is expected to play in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 32-year-old is looking to play in his first game since Week 10 last season when he tore his left ACL. Ertz isn't quite on […]

Jerry Jeudy Officially Questionable For Season Opener

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) was limited in practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

John Metchie III Ruled Out For Week 1

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (hamstring) did not practice this week and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Baltimore Ravens.
