New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday when his team takes on the Bills, as head coach Adam Gase was not optimistic Monday that his signal-caller would clear the necessary stages to get back on the field.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) would have been a limited participant in Monday’s practice after having sustained a foot injury during Sunday’s contest versus Washington.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) could make his season debut as soon as Sunday versus Arizona after he returned to practice Monday.

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (knee) is not expected to return to the field in time for Sunday’s game against the Patriots, with a likely return set for Week 8 versus Seattle.

Carolina Places Michael Schofield On Reserve/COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Michael Schofield (illness) was placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after participating in Sunday’s game versus Chicago. The reserve lineman logged five special teams snaps, and missed practice as recently as last week for what the team designated as a non-injury circumstance. With two Panthers offensive linemen now on the […]

Jerry Jeudy In Line For Increase In Targets Sunday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as an appealing DFS selection and medium-sized or larger WR3/Flex play for Sunday. Jeudy will have the difficulty of facing off against a stout New England secondary, but with Courtland Sutton (knee), Noah Fant (ankle), and KJ Hamler (hamstring) all out of the equation, the returning Drew […]

Jon Brown Not A Fantasy Asset In NFL Debut Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be making his NFL debut Sunday, marking the fifth different kicker than the team has utilized already in 2020. Having previously served as a kickoff specialist with Cincinnati, Brown has not attempted an in-game field goal during the regular season, thereby making him the riskiest of options from a […]

Carolina Expects Curtis Samuel To Suit Up Sunday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is on the right side of his questionable tag for Sunday’s matchup against Chicago. Despite having carved out a modest role in the Panthers’ passing game, Samuel has not yet found the end zone in 2020, making him difficult to roster Sunday against a stout Bears Defense. In […]

DeSean Jackson On Track To Return For Thursday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) may be out for Sunday’s contest versus Baltimore, but he is apparently close enough to action that he is expected to return for Thursday’s game against the Giants.

Bears Defense Puts Sacking Prowess To Test Sunday

The Chicago Bears Defense entered the year as one of the premier units in the league, but a few lackluster performances early on in the season diminished their stock.

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III is sitting out Sunday’s contest versus New England due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was also arrested earlier in the week on DUI charges.

Eagles Defense Likely To Get Darius Slay For Sunday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has cleared the league’s concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sunday’s game versus Baltimore.

Slay made a season-high eight tackles last week prior to his […]

The game scheduled for Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars will go on as planned after the Jaguars announced Sunday morning that they had no new positive COVID-19 tests.

Breshad Perriman Expects To Suit Up Sunday

Optimism does not abound surrounding the Jets’ offense, which […]

Drew Lock Should Make Expected Return As Starter Sunday

Signs had been pointing toward Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) returning to the field as the starter for Sunday’s game versus New England, and that appears to be the case, barring a last-minute setback. Lock last appeared in Week 2 before a shoulder injury forced him to cede way to a combination of Jeff […]

Baker Mayfield Gets Thumbs Up To Start Versus Steelers

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) will suit up for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, a confirmation of his own status that he provided earlier in the week.

Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry Both On Track To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) are both set to play in Sunday’s contest against the Steelers despite having had questionable designations throughout the week.

Leonard Fournette Expects To Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will warm-up prior to Sunday’s game, but so long as he has no setbacks, is expected to play versus Green Bay.
