Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (pectoral) is believed to have sustained a torn pectoral muscle during Sunday's defeat to Dallas, an injury that would end his season if an MRI confirms the severity.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) was ruled out for the second half of the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys with a shoulder injury.

Jalen Ramsey Active Against Texans

Los Angeles Rams defensive back Jalen Ramsey (illness) is not listed on the team's inactive list ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the struggling Texans. His omission from the most recent report means he will be good to go against Houston on Sunday. Although most fantasy managers don't need much convincing that Davis Mills […]

Broncos Likely To Play It Safe With Von Miller

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, didn't practice all week. Miller wants to play and may give it a go during pre-game workouts, but the team will likely be smart and force him to think long term. That means he'll likely be held out of […]

Fletcher Cox Drawing Trade Interest

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox has been the target of some trade interest, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The 30-year-old has continued to be a force on the team's defensive line and the price for him likely wouldn't be cheap. The Eagles are sitting at 2-5. Another loss in Week 8 to the Detroit […]

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim isn't ruling out a return for defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) later this year. "I know surgery is an option, but at the same time I think there are some things that are possibly put in place where we want to play this thing out with a little bit […]

Von Miller Questionable For Week 8

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (ankle) missed practice all week and is questionable for the Week 8 contest against the Washington Football Team.

Von Miller Remains Absent From Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) was once again unable to suit up for practice Thursday, further throwing his status for Sunday's game vs. Washington in doubt.

Jalen Ramsey Lands On Injury Report Thursday

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey (illness) popped up on the team's injury report Thursday, having missed practice due to an illness.

Week 8 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

If you want an idea of just how valuable fantasy defenders can be, look no further than Antonio Gibson….

Watt is outscoring fantasy’s DL9 by 23%, while […]

J.J. Watt Likely Done For The Season

Richard Sherman, Lavonte David Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) both returned to limited practices on Wednesday, while outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) didn't practice.

Khalil Mack Not Expected To Play In Week 8

Chicago Bears Pro Bowl pass-rusher Khalil Mack (foot) is not expected to play in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers, and a stint on Injured Reserve is not out of the question in order to allow his foot another three games to heal. Mack first injured his foot in a Week 3 loss to […]

IDP Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

As you know, because we keep reminding you, Week 7 was the fantasy football equivalent of a direct-to-DVD movie experience. Something was playing on your television this Sunday, and it looked kind of like something you might enjoy. Deep down you knew it was a cheap imitation of what you love. With countless players on […]

Chandler Jones Comes Off COVID-19 List

The Arizona Cardinals activated linebacker Chandler Jones and defensive lineman Zach Allen from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Jones will return after missing the last two games after testing positive for the virus, but the 31-year-old pass-rusher will be available for a showdown against the Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Thursday night […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Dealing With Injuries

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) is in danger of missing more time moving ahead.

However, he didn't appear to be injured by any means in Week 7, at least on the statistical end, […]

Chandler Jones May Play On Thursday

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones (illness) could be back for Thursday Night Football against Green Bay. The 31-year-old has been out due to COVID-19, which was unfortunate considering he had five sacks during the season opener against the Titans. Jones has reportedly dropped some weight, so even though it will be nice to see him […]

Chandler Jones To Miss Another Game

Arizona Cardinals pass-rusher Chandler Jones didn't practice on Friday and will not play on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Jones remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after missing last week's win over the Cleveland Browns.

Dante Fowler Lands On Injured Reserve

The Atlanta Falcons placed edge rusher Dante Fowler (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday, meaning that he will miss at least the next three games. Losing Fowler will be a significant blow to an already shaky Falcons defense, and they will have to lean more on rookie Ade Ogundeji in the coming weeks. Jacob Tuioti-Mariner […]

Week 7 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

You’ve all heard about how bad Week 7 is shaping up to be, with six teams on bye and five of those squads loaded to the brim with fantasy assets. Things are so bad that some are naming this week the “Bye-Nado,” while others refer to it as the “Bye-Pocalypse," and if you get creative […]

Von Miller Says He'll Play Next Week

Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle), who left the game just before halftime in the Thursday night loss to the Cleveland Browns, said he would play in Week 8 against the Washington Football Team.

Von Miller Ruled Out Against Browns

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7 after injuring his left ankle just before halftime.

Von Miller Questionable To Return Thursday

Denver Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller (ankle) is questionable to return to the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns after injuring his left leg just before halftime.
