Jamison Crowder's Appeal Dropping Ahead Of Week 11

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder turned himself into a near must-start season-long fantasy asset after receiving double-digit targets in each of his first four games this year.

Todd Gurley II Draws Difficult Matchup For Week 11

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II will have the advantage of facing the Saints on Sunday coming off of his bye week, but that shouldn't make the task of finding the end zone any easier.

Broncos Defense Moves On From Davontae Harris

Denver Broncos cornerback Davontae Harris was released Tuesday, just two days removed from not playing a snap on defense in Week 10 while also having sustained a concussion.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) is in fact dealing with partial tears to ligaments in his right thumb, putting his status for Sunday's contest versus Carolina in doubt.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) has missed just one game so far due to a foot sprain, upgrading his practice participation to include running drills Monday in hopes of returning for Sunday's contest versus the Saints.

Jimmy Garoppolo In 49ers Plans In 2021

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) has his status for playing again in 2020 up in the air, but that hasn't quelled speculation around his future with the franchise beyond this year.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow saw just two targets during Sunday's win over the Broncos, tying a season low. While Renfrow hauled in both passes for receptions (upping his catch percentage to 74.4 on the year), he has now seen three or fewer targets in half of his appearances this season. With the […]

Darrynton Evans To Return From Injured Reserve

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Darrynton Evans (hamstring) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Monday, giving the team three weeks to return him to the active roster.

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has carved out a solid niche for himself within the Dallas offense, now seeing an average of between 22-36 percent of the team's snaps over the past six games.

A.J. Green Sees Confounding Season Continue In Week 10

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was once among the cream of the crop when it came to fantasy production during the previous decade, but following his second catchless contest of 2020 on Sunday, he has dipped out of consideration in the majority of season-long formats. Despite the exciting high-octane passing game of rookie signal-caller […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (abdominal) has until Wednesday to be activated from Injured Reserve, a deadline that is "probably pretty promising" that he'll meet, per Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (knee) and tight end Cole Kmet (groin) have both been cleared to play in Monday's contest versus the Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) is dealing with what head coach Pete Carroll described as a "bit of a knee sprain," heading into Thursday's contest against the Cardinals.

Seattle Expects Carlos Hyde To Return For Thursday’s Game

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (hamstring) is trending toward returning for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, per head coach Pete Carroll. Seattle's backfield situation has been muddled over the past three weeks with Hyde and Chris Carson (foot) having been out of the mix, but as Carson also continues to work his way back, […]

David Montgomery Held Out Of Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday ahead of Monday's game versus Minnesota due to his status in the league's concussion protocol.

Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde Miss Second Straight Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) had been expected to return to practice this week in hopes of suiting up Sunday against the Rams, but following practice Thursday, that has yet to be the case.

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (ankle) was able to log just a limited practice Thursday, putting his availability for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville up in the air.

Mark Ingram II Unable To Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) was moved back to a non-participant for Thursday's practice, further clouding his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Irv Smith Jr. Misses Practice Thursday With Groin Ailment

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (groin) was held out of practice Thursday, putting his status for Monday's game against Chicago in jeopardy.
