IDP Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Football: Week 8 -- Willie Gay, Quay Walker, Dorance Armstrong, and More

This past weekend, fantasy football managers jumped at running back news. We made free agent claims following the trade of Christian McCaffrey, the injury of J.K. Dobbins, and the Chiefs backfield shakeup. This got me thinking: Could any such news have the same impact on IDP free agent transactions? My conclusion is no. If a […]

J.C. Jackson Out For The Season

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon in the Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season. Jackson needed an air cast on his leg to stabilize it after dislocating his kneecap. It's a rough ending to the 26-year-old's first […]

Antoine Winfield Likely Out For Thursday Night Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that safety Antoine Winfield (concussion) is likely to be out for Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens since he's in the concussion protocol on Monday. Winfield went down with a head injury in Sunday's surprising loss to the Carolina Panthers and was unable to return. With […]

Dolphins Defense Registers Three Picks In SNF Victory

The Miami Dolphins' defense picked off Kenny Pickett three times during Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jevon Holland, Justin Bethel, and Noah Igbinoghene each registered one turnover. Jaelan Phillips had another strong game, too, amassing 1.5 sacks and eight total tackles. Look for this unit to be a strong streaming option once again in […]

Brandon Jones Ruled Out With Knee Injury Sunday Night

Miami Dolphins safety Brandon Jones (knee) suffered a knee injury on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth quarter and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Before leaving the game, the team's leader in tackles had seven tackles (two solo). For the rest of the game, expect Eric Rowe […]

Barron Browning Suffers Strained Hip In Week 7

Denver Broncos linebacker Barron Browning (hip) exited the team's Week 7 loss to the New York Jets in the third quarter with a hip injury. Browning reportedly strained his hip and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. The second-year pro has been filling in for starter Randy Gregory […]

J.C. Jackson Dislocates His Kneecap In Week 7

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) was carted off the field late in the first half of the team's Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Jackson had his leg placed in an air cast and reportedly suffered a dislocated kneecap. The All-Pro will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of […]

Jourdan Lewis May Be Heading For Surgery

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis (foot) was injured during Sunday's win over Detroit. Unfortunately, the team believes he suffered a Lisfranc injury, although he'll undergo more tests. The 27-year-old has 26 total tackles this season and has been a critical piece of the Cowboys' defense. However, if Lewis needs surgery, he will be out for […]

J.C. Jackson Carted Off The Field On Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (leg) exited Sunday's meeting with the Seahawks. He suffered a non-contact injury near the end of the second quarter and had his leg placed in an aircast before being carted off the field. He's not expected to return. If that's the case, he'll finish with two tackles. Nonetheless, this […]

Maliek Collins Questionable To Return To Week 7

Houston Texans defensive lineman Maliek Collins (chest) exited Sunday's game versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old is questionable to return, so if he's done for the remainder of Week 7, he'll finish with only one tackle. Collins has 12 total tackles in 2022-23. As a result, there shouldn't be too many disappointed IDP managers […]

Trey Hendrickson Downgraded To Out In Week 7

Cincinnati Bengals pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He registered two tackles and one sack before exiting. Joseph Ossai will assume most of Hendrickson's defensive duties for the remainder of the contest.

Antoine Winfield Jr. Ruled Out With Concussion

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. He made two tackles before exiting. Logan Ryan will likely assume must of Winfield's responsibilities on defense.

Trey Hendrickson Questionable To Return

Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson (neck) is questionable to return against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. He registered two tackles and one sack before exiting. Expect Joseph Ossai to assume most of Hendrickson's defensive duties for the time being.

A.J. Terrell Ruled Out With Hamstring Injury

Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 7 versus the Cincinnati Bengals. This is bad news for a struggling Atlanta secondary versus Cincinnati's phenomenal passing attack. Mike Ford and Dee Alford should be in line for more snaps with Terrell sidelined.

Jadeveon Clowney Active, Denzel Ward Inactive Sunday

Cleveland Browns pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) is active for Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) is inactive. Martin Emerson and Greedy Williams will likely see increased snaps at cornerback, which could be problematic for Cleveland's defense as it tries to slow down Ravens receivers Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay.

Jerry Jeudy, Bradley Chubb Among Broncos Generating Interest

The Denver Broncos have fielded "multiple trade inquiries" on wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, as well as pass rusher Bradley Chubb, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Schefter's report doesn't shut down the possibility of a trade, but he does point out that "the Broncos will not sell low in a deal and […]

DJ Moore, Brian Burns Among Panthers Staying Put

The Carolina Panthers are not expected to trade wide receiver DJ Moore, pass rusher Brian Burns, defensive tackle Derrick Brown, or cornerback Jaycee Horn, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Even after dealing Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson, Carolina has no intention of tearing apart its entire roster. In fact, Schefter notes that the Panthers […]

Deion Jones Set For Debut With Browns

The Cleveland Browns activated linebacker Deion Jones (shoulder) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, and the former Atlanta Falcons standout will make his debut with the Browns in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens. Cleveland acquired Jones from the Falcons on Oct. 9, and the Browns are hoping the 27-year-old former second-rounder can help shore up […]

Dolphins Defense An Exciting Week 7 Option

The Miami Dolphins have one of the top streaming defenses in Week 7. Not only did the units show indications of being dominant earlier in the season, but we know that they play with the drive needed to win games. Additionally, and arguably more importantly, the Dolphins play against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh is expected […]

Kwity Paye Will Miss Another Game

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye (ankle) won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old will now miss his second straight contest after suffering an ankle injury during the Week 5 outing versus the Denver Broncos. Paye has 16 total tackles and three sacks this season, so there are likely several disappointed […]

Nick Bosa, Trent Williams Off The Injury Report

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (groin) isn't listed on the team's latest injury report heading into the Week 7 matchup versus the Chiefs, meaning he will suit up. The 24-year-old didn't play in the Niners' previous game against the Atlanta Falcons, a tough blow for IDP managers, especially considering he's already amassed six […]

Logan Wilson Won't Play Against Falcons

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out of the Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons. This could've been a nice spot for Wilson against an up-and-down Atlanta offense and Cincinnati's fantasy defense/special teams unit could take a hit. The Bengals' fantasy defense/special teams unit should still be considered a top-10 play, […]

Shaquille Leonard Ruled Out For Week 7

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) has been ruled out for the Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Leonard cleared the concussion protocol, but head coach Frank Reich is holding him out to make sure he gets back to full health. Without Leonard, the Colts defense isn't as strong, but in a […]

Shaquille Leonard Trending In The Right Direction

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Leonard made his season debut in Week 4 after offseason back surgery and suffered a broken nose and a concussion and has missed the last two games. His recovery from a broken nose is his […]

Nick Bosa Returns To Practice

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (groin) returned to practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant. Bosa missed the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but the fact that he was back at practice on a Wednesday is a good sign that he'll have a chance to return to action […]

Chase Young Could Return Against The Colts In Week 8

Washington Commanders defensive lineman Chase Young (knee) will see Dr. Andrews on Sunday, and if all goes well, he'll practice next week. The Commanders will evaluate Young before determining if the 23-year-old will return against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Washington will see how Young's surgically repaired knee responds through practice before activating him […]

Shaquille Leonard Returns To Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) returned to practice on Wednesday and was a limited participant. Leonard suffered a broken nose in Week 4 in his season debut and needed surgery, which required him to miss the team's last two games. The fact that he was limited early in the week is a […]

Chase Young To "Take It Slow" With Return

Washington Commands defensive end Chase Young (knee) met with renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. The 23-year continues to recover from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, an injury he suffered in November 2021. The team has no plans on rushing him back until he's 100%, and even when he's finally activated, […]

Myles Garrett Expected To Play Sunday Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (shoulder) re-aggravated his injured shoulder on Sunday against the Patriots. He suffered the injury during a car accident. On Tuesday, he found out the X-rays were negative, prompting head coach Kevin Stefanski to label him as "expected to play" this week in a divisional matchup with the Ravens. The […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 7

To begin this week’s article, I’d like to break from tradition and offer a non-IDP question that may seem outlandish considering Sunday’s outcome. That said, I have to ask… how do fans of teams like the Atlanta Falcons feel right now? Obviously, they are coming off an impressive win after a string of nail-biters against […]
