Cam Akers Now Out

Updating an earlier report, Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (rib) will now miss the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles after getting hurt during a red zone play in the first quarter. Malcolm Brown, who currently has five carries for 32 yards, will likely serve as the workhorse for the remainder of […]

David Montgomery Injures Neck

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (neck) is questionable to return against the Giants. The 23-year-old was hurt attempting to hurdle a player during the second quarter. While Montgomery's designation indicates that there is a chance for him to resume playing, he may be trending more toward out with an injury of this nature.

Drew Lock Will Miss Rest Of Game

Updating an earlier report, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) will not return after getting hurt toward the end of the first quarter on Sunday against the Steelers. Jeff Driskel remains under center, with running back Royce Freeman serving as the emergency signal-caller if needed.

Saquon Barkley Out For Remainder Of Game

Updating an earlier report, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was carted back to the locker room after getting hurt during the Week 1 contest against the Bears. He will not return to the game and will undergo further testing on Monday.

David Montgomery Injured Against Giants

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery suffered an undisclosed injury during Sunday's matchup against the Giants. The 23-year-old was hurt halfway through the second quarter after attempting to hurdle a player and needed assistance heading back to the sidelines. His status to return is uncertain. In the meantime, Tarik Cohen will likely handle most of […]

Saquon Barkley Suffers Knee Injury

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) has left Sunday's game against the Bears. The third-year back suffered the right knee ailment on his next play after injuring his left arm at the end of the first quarter. He needed to be assisted by training staff, and his return is uncertain at the moment. […]

Drew Lock Heads To Locker Room

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was observed heading toward the locker room during the Week 1 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lock suffered the injury near the end of the first quarter and is uncertain to return. Veteran signal-caller Jeff Driskel has entered the game to handle things behind center.

Nick Bosa Carted Off Field

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) was carted off the field during the Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets. The 22-year-old suffered the injury halfway throughout the first quarter. Though he hasn't been officially ruled out, his return doesn't look promising at the moment.

Cam Akers Exits With Rib Injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (rib) is questionable to return during Sunday's matchup against the Eagles. The rookie suffered the injury during a drive inside the red zone and was assisted off the field by training staff. In his stead, expect Malcolm Brown and potentially Darrell Henderson Jr. to handle the workload out […]

Alex Pietrangelo Will Become Unrestricted Free Agent

St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo is set to become an unrestricted free agent once the free agency period begins on October 9 at noon, according to multiple reports. The 30-year-old has established himself as one of the elite defensemen in the National Hockey League with a career-high 16 goals scored during the 2019-20 season, […]

Dylan Windler Ready For 5-On-5 Workouts

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler (leg) is ready to participate in 5-on-5 workouts. He was a first round pick by the Cavs in 2019, but didn't play in a single game for the team. Windler suffered a leg injury that resulted in surgery, which cost him the entire season. It sounds like he is making […]

Anton Khudobin Makes 35 Saves, Stars Win Game 1

The Dallas Stars got off to a quick start and defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 4-1 in Game 1 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin stopped 35-of-36 shots on goal to continue his strong Playoff run and quiet the Lightning's offensive production in the process, […]

Rams Should Use Darrell Henderson Jr. More

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Los Angeles Rams will move towards more of a running back committee approach in Week 2 against the Eagles, with Darrell Henderson Jr. playing more than he did in Week 1. Garafolo expects the team to use Henderson, Cam Akers, and Malcolm Brown "roughly equally" in this week's […]

Titans Defense Won't Have Vic Beasley

The Tennessee Titans Defense won't have linebacker Vic Beasley (knee) in Week 2 against the Jacksonville. Beasley had been practicing, so it's likely this is just a precaution in what should be a relatively easy matchup for the Titans. Against a better team, Beasley's absence could be an issue for the Titans, but this shouldn't […]

Colts Defense Without Rock Ya-Sin In Week 2

The Indianapolis Colts Defense won't have defensive back Rock Ya-Sin for their Week 2 contest against the Vikings after he was ruled out at the last second with an illness. It doesn't appear that the illness is related to COVID-19. Ya-Sin was a key contributor in Week 1 for the Colts, playing 92 percent of […]

Brandon Aiyuk Set For NFL Debut

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) is set to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the New York Jets. Aiyuk will debut in a game where the Niners are missing their top two receiving threats, wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) and tight end George Kittle (knee). Aiyuk should get some immediate snaps […]

Dede Westbrook Is Healthy Scratch Again

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy inactive in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. This is the second week in a row that Westbrook won't play. It's clear that last week's absence wasn't a fluke, and it's now safe for fantasy managers to drop Dede Westbrook in all redraft leagues. Maybe you […]

La'Mical Perine Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) didn't play in Week 1, but is set to make his NFL debut against the 49ers on Sunday. With Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on the injured reserve, Perine could play a small role right away as the passing-down option when veteran Frank Gore rests. In season-long leagues, Perine […]

Golden Tate Officially Active For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is officially active in Week 2, with the Giants taking on the Chicago Bears. This probably isn't the week for fantasy managers to play Tate, as he'll likely be a little limited as he works his way back. But if you need a deep league dart throw, […]

Clayton Kershaw Stellar In Saturday's Win

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw allowed one run on four hits across seven innings of work during Saturday's 6-1 win over the Colorado Rockies. He struck out six batters without issuing a walk. Kershaw is enjoying another fantastic campaign, posting a 6-2 record across nine starts. He owns a 2.15 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and […]

Ted Ginn Jr., Riley Ridley Healthy Week 2 Scratches

Chicago Bears wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Riley Ridley are healthy scratches in Week 2. The big news here is Ginn, as he played 43 percent of the team's Week 1 snaps. Ginn wasn't a factor in that game and Bears should turn to Anthony Miller more in this one, whose snap rate should […]

Dallas Won't Have Tyron Smith In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is officially inactive for the team's Week 2 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith's been an elite lineman for the Cowboys, helping to keep quarterback Dak Prescott upright and opening holes in the run game for Ezekiel Elliott. You're still starting both of those guys in season-long leagues […]

DeVante Parker Active In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) is active for Miami's Week 2 meeting with the Buffalo Bills, though that doesn't mean that fantasy managers should deploy him in their lineups. We're likely not going to see a 100 percent healthy Parker in this game, and he has a tough matchup with a really good […]

Qadree Ollison Inactive For Second Consecutive Week

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison is inactive for the team's Week 2 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. At this point, it looks like Ollison's only chance of a bigger role in Atlanta would be if injuries strike the backs ahead of him. Brian Hill and Ito Smith will serve as Todd Gurley's backups again. […]

Jalen Hurts Active In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts is active for Philly's Week 2 game against the Rams. Obviously, Carson Wentz is still the starter and won't be replaced barring injury, but this move seems to indicate that the team values the versatility that Hurts brings more than what backup Nate Sudfeld had been bringing. Hurts could […]

Courtland Sutton Will Play In Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) will play against the Steelers on Sunday, according to James Palmer of the NFL Network. Sutton sat out in Week 1. His return should boost the Broncos offense, who threw for just 216 yards in the team's opener. Sutton's probably not at 100 percent, so don't expect Sutton […]

Patriots Won't Be Reckless With Cam Newton

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton enjoyed an impressive debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, completing 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards and running for 75 yards and two scores. He looked like a threat out of the backfield again, opening up the playbook possibilities for New England in their post-Tom Brady […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not On Trading Block

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will not be traded and the team has no plans to do so in the future, according to Adam Schefter. There was speculation that Beckham was on the block after a disappointing loss to the Ravens in Week 1, though the Browns insist that this was never a […]

Mohamed Sanu Sr. Expected To Make Debut Sunday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mohamed Sanu is expected to make his debut with the team in Week 2 against the Jets. Sanu last played with the Falcons and Patriots in 2019, where he accumulated 520 receiving yards on 89 targets across 12 starts. The veteran receiver's arrival comes at a good time for a […]
