Dallas Goedert, Jordan Davis Expected To Return In Regular Season

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve this past week, but he is expected to return before the regular season ends, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The same is true for rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle), who "has a chance to return when he is eligible" on December 4. […]

Chase Young Won't Play Against Houston

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) won't play against the Texans. The 23-year-old was expected to return on Sunday for his first game in over a year, so the latest update is somewhat of a surprise. Fortunately, head coach Ron Rivera reported on Friday that Chase would "most certainly" be activated ahead of the […]

Denico Autry Injured Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers and is questionable to return in the second half. Autry is one of the team's better defensive lineman, so we'll have to see if this injury will keep him out beyond Thursday's game. The […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 11

We've discussed Shaquille Leonard a lot in this space, but with good reason. IDP has always struggled to find transcendent talents you can rely on every week, but Leonard was just that for three seasons. He was our no-doubt top overall defender for three straight offseasons as a result, with few players having the potential […]

Shaquille Leonard Undergoes Successful Back Surgery

Indianapolis Colts All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) underwent successful season-ending back surgery on Tuesday morning after several evaluations, according to a source. Leonard is on Injured Reserve and will miss the rest of the year, but the hope is this surgery will fix his back issue for good. Leonard had back surgery in June to […]

IDP Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Football: Week 11

Another week, another injury to Colts LB Shaq Leonard. Now it’s his neck. He is meeting with neck surgeons, and he’ll probably not return. So Bobby Okereke is a safe starting linebacker the rest of the season. On the positive side of injury news, Steelers edge LB T.J. Watt is back on the field. But […]

Chase Young Expected To Return In Week 11

Washington Commanders star pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) was close to suiting up for Monday night's game against the Eagles but could not do so. However, he is expected to be activated from the Injured Reserve list this week, making his return to action against the Texans on Sunday. At full health, the 23-year-old is one […]

Chase Young Won't Be Activated For Monday's Game

The Washington Commanders are not activating star pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) off Injured Reserve for the Monday night game against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source. Young is recovering from an ACL tear in 2021 and is close to being ready. There's a real chance he'll make his season debut in Week 11 […]

Dre Greenlaw Ejected On Sunday Night

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw won't return to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers after a helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Justin Herbert. The 25-year-old was having himself a night before his ejection, leading the team with seven total tackles. There should be an update on Greenlaw's availability for the Week 11 Monday Night […]

Emmanuel Ogbah Suffers Season-Ending Injury

Miami Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah (triceps) is done for the year. The 28-year-old suffered a torn tricep during Sunday's win over Cleveland and will require season-ending surgery. Ogbah will finish the year with 11 total tackles and one sack, so his absence isn't a significant loss for IDP managers.

Kwity Paye Won't Return On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye (ankle) won't return against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old, who was questionable heading into this one, suffered another ankle injury. Paye entered Week 10 fresh off an eight-tackle, one-sack performance against the Patriots. However, he was quiet on Sunday. Nonetheless, there's a chance he won't play in Week […]

Tremaine Edmunds Questionable To Return Sunday

Buffalo Bills linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (groin) is questionable to return against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. He had three tackles before exiting, bringing his season-long total to 65. With the 24-year-old sidelined, Tyrel Dodson will handle more snaps at linebacker.

Greg Dortch, Budda Baker Officially Active Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (groin) and safety Budda Baker (ankle) are officially active for Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. Both players had been listed as questionable. Dortch has been a non-factor as of late, catching just five passes over his last six games. His production should continue to dwindle with Colt […]

Mo Alie-Cox, Kwity Paye Active For Week 10

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (ankle) and pass rusher Kwity Paye (ankle) are active for Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. They had both been listed as questionable. Alie-Cox could see an increase in volume with Jelani Woods (shoulder) ruled out, but the subpar state of the Colts' offense strips him of any […]

Marquez Callaway, Marcus Maye Inactive Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is a healthy scratch for Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Safety Marcus Maye (abdomen) is also inactive. Callaway has amassed 15 catches for 152 yards and one touchdown this season. However, with Jarvis Landry (ankle) back in the fold, there is evidently no role for Callaway this […]

Shaquille Leonard To Meet With Neck Surgeon

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (ankle, back) will meet with renowned surgeon Dr. Robert Watkins on Monday in Los Angeles to determine if he can play again this season, according to ESPN senior writer Adam Schefter. The veteran recently landed on injured reserve after playing only three games in 2022-23, where he totaled 11 tackles […]

Justin Simmons Won't Play In Week 10

Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons (knee) will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to KOA's Benjamin Allbright. The 28-year-old had been listed as questionable coming out of the bye week but evidently needs a little more time to recover. The 28-year-old has appeared in four games this season, racking up 23 […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Expected To Miss Multiple Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick underwent an appendectomy on Sunday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 25-year-old has appeared in seven games this season, racking up 45 tackles and three interceptions. Tre Norwood will likely handle the bulk of snaps at free safety in Fitzpatrick's absence.

Budda Baker Up In The Air For Week 10

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he had been told earlier in the week there was a "zero percent" chance of safety Budda Baker (ankle) playing in Week 10 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Baker was able to practice this week, but the team will be "really smart" before deciding if he'll suit […]

T.J. Watt Returning In Week 10, Won't Be On Snap Count

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) said he will play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints and doesn't expect to be on a snap count. Pittsburgh will likely officially activate Watt from the Injured Reserve on Saturday. The 28-year-old reigning Defensive Player of the Year will be a gigantic boost to the […]

Donte Jackson Out For Season With Torn Achilles

Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, the team reported on Friday. Jackson limped off the field late in Thursday night's win over the Atlanta Falcons and underwent an MRI that confirmed he had torn his Achilles. The 2018 second-round NFL Draft pick is a team captain and […]

Shaquille Leonard To Go On Injured Reseve

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (ankle, back) will miss his seventh game of the season after suffering a setback in practice this week and is headed to injured reserve. The Colts face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, who has been effective running the ball with Josh Jacobs at times this season. Leonard's absence boosts […]

Jordan Poyer, Greg Rousseau Ruled Out

Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) and defensive end Greg Rousseau (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. Poyer suffered an elbow injury in Week 8 and hasn't played since. The 31-year-old All-Pro leads the Bills with four interceptions, so his absence is notable against a Vikings offense that […]

Packers Claim Johnathan Abram Off Waivers From Raiders

The Green Bay Packers claimed safety Johnathan Abram off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, according to a source. The Raiders waived the former first-rounder on Tuesday, but he'll quickly latch on with a new team. The 26-year-old is a bruiser and a physical presence in the secondary, but failure to succeed in […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 10

For those not paying close attention, you should be prepared for a pass rush influx to hit IDP lineups this week. In Week 9, our top-four fantasy DLs were out due to byes and injuries. All four are projected to be back this week. In addition, former phenom Chase Young is optimistic about his return […]

Raiders Release Johnathan Abram Tuesday

In a surprise move, the Las Vegas Raiders released former first-round safety Johnathan Abram on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders shopped Abram at the trade deadline last week but found no takers, so he'll head to waivers. The 26-year-old was benched in Week 8 and has played only 52 defensive sacks in the […]

IDP Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Football: Week 10

Week 9 saw the No. 1 team in the AFC power rankings lose, the No. 1 team in the NFC’s preseason power rankings lose (for the fifth-straight time), and the other AFC contender have to come back and win in overtime. In each of those games, defensive stars made a big impact. Josh Allen threw […]

Pete Werner, Erik McCoy, Marcus Davenport Injured Monday

New Orleans Saints linebacker Pete Werner (ankle), center Erik McCoy (calf) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (calf) were all injured in the Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. They are all questionable to return late in the second half. Werner was carted off the field, so he's unlikely to be back and could be […]

Budda Baker Suffers High-Ankle Sprain

Arizona Cardinals All-Pro safety Budda Baker (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources. The hope is that Baker can return in two or three weeks, based on the severity of his ankle sprain. It's a big blow to the Cardinals defense and for fantasy managers […]
