James Robinson Doesn't Practice On Wednesday With New Injury
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (knee, heel) missed practice on Wednesday while nursing heel and knee injuries. Jackson had recently missed game action with a heel injury, but the knee injury is a new one. With Robinson admitting that the injury impacted his play, it's possible that the Jaguars choose to rest him or […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoElijah Mitchell Doesn't Practice On Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (finger) did not practice on Wednesday after having surgery on Tuesday to repair a fractured finger. Head coach Kyle Shanahan did say that he felt confident that Mitchell should be able to play on Sunday, but fantasy managers should have a back-up plan, just in case. At […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoChris Carson Will Not Practice On Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) will not practice on Wednesday despite being designated to return from Injured Reserve last week. Carson can still practice later in the week and be activated in time for Sunday's kickoff, but the week is not off to a great start. Seattle looked lifeless on offense in quarterback […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoAlvin Kamara Back at Practice on Wednesday
New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara (knee) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing Sunday's game. Being back at practice this early in the week is obviously a good sign that Kamara will suit up in a tough matchup against the Eagles. If he plays, he should obviously be in your lineup; however, the […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoAaron Jones Not At Practice On Wednesday
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was not at practice on Wednesday, but that should come as no surprise after he suffered an MCL sprain on Sunday. Jones is expected to miss a couple of weeks, with A.J. Dillon filling in for Jones in the meantime. It remains to be seen if the […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoAaron Rodgers Not At Practice On Wednesday
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers was absent from practice Wednesday. There is still some speculation about the reason for Rodgers absence, with some assuming that it may just be a rest day after Rodgers admitted to being exhausted after the win due to his recent COVID diagnosis. However, he was added to the injury report […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoDallas Goedert Still In Concussion Protocol
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert remains in concussion protocol and will not practice on Wednesday. It's still early in the week, so it's possible for Goedert to clear protocol and be available on Sunday, but it would be wise for Goedert fantasy managers to have a back-up option ready to go for Sunday. Despite […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoKyler Murray Returns To Practice On Wednesday
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing two weeks with an ankle injury. Reports are that Murray was just throwing passes, so we're not sure how much he tested his ankle while moving around; however, being back on the field on a Wednesday is a good sign for his […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoAntonio Brown Remains Out At Practice
Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) was not spotted at practice on Wednesday. With the Bucs playing on Monday night, this is really more of a bonus practice, so we wouldn't read too much into it. However, Brown has been out since Week 6, so he likely needs a full, or close to […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoMiles Sanders Designated To Return From Injured Reserve
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) has been designated to return from the injured reserve, which gives the team 21 days to activate him for game day. Practice this week will help to determine if the Eagles think Sanders is healthy enough to play against the Saints, but it would be wise to keep […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoJoe Flacco To Start For Jets On Sunday
The New York Jets announced that they will start Joe Flacco at quarterback on Sunday as rookie first-rounder Zach Wilson (knee) still isn't 100% and Mike White was destroyed by the Bills last week. It's a bit of a surprise but really shouldn't change the way we view many of the Jets players from a […]

If we thought Week 8 had some weird moments, we were not at all prepared for the wackiness of Week 9. At multiple times during the 1 PM games, I was watching a game or checking scores and thinking: Let's do a quick rundown: the Bills lost to the Jaguars. The Cowboys got embarrassed by […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoRondale Moore Misses Practice With Concussion
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (concussion, neck) was not at practice on Wednesday. Moore would have to work his way through the concussion protocol to be cleared in time for Sunday's game against the Panthers. With DeAndre Hopkins still working his way back from a hamstring injury, Moore's absence on Sunday could lead to […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoChase Claypool Doesn't Practice on Wednesday
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) did not participate in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday. Since it was a walkthrough, we don't want to read too much into it, but Claypool did get an MRI on his toe on Tuesday, so it's clearly bothering him. We need to see the practice reports over the […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoJames Robinson Not At Practice On Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel) did not practice on Wednesday after missing last week's game against the Bills with the same injury. Robinson's inability to get on the field after over a week of rest is concerning, but he still has time to return to practice and suit up for Sunday's game against […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoJamaal Williams Doesn't Practice on Wednesday
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) was listed as not practicing on Wednesday. Considering the Lions are coming off of their bye, this isn't a great sign for Williams' availability for Sunday's game against the Steelers. In his absence, D'Andre Swift as seen elite usage in the Lions' backfield and would continue to do […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoRussell Wilson A Full Participant In Practice Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday as head coach Pete Carroll said you "wouldn't even know he had finger surgery." Obviously, we should always take "coach speak" with a grain of salt, especially coming from Carroll, but it's nice to hear positive reviews in Wilson's first practice. […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoChris Carson Designated To Return From Injured Reserve
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, starting his 21-day clock towards activation. Now, this doesn't mean Carson will definitely be on the field on Sunday; however, practicing on Wednesday is a big first step. If Carson responds well to practice and taking hits over the next […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoCorey Davis Back At Practice On Wednesday
New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) was back at practice on Wednesday and reported that he was "full throttle." The self assessment implies that Davis feels relatively healthy and should be considered likely to play on Sunday against the Bills. It's not a particularly good matchup and rookie Elijah Moore has blossomed while […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoKyler Murray Not Practicing on Wednesday
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was not practicing on Wednesday, allowing veteran Colt McCoy to put even more pressure towards a quarterback controversy. Kidding. This is absolutely Kyler Murray's job when he's healthy, and the quarterback said he expects to play on Sunday after making "crazy progress" on his ankle. However, fantasy managers should […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoClyde Edwards-Helaire Back At Practice On Wednesday
Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday and was seen at practice with his teammates. This shouldn't be treated as a guarantee that he plays this week, so keep an eye on practice reports over the next few days. However, CEH's return is welcome news […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoPanthers Place Sam Darnold On Injured Reserve
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, meaning he will need to be sidelined for at least three weeks. Once it was announced that Darnold had a partial fracture of the scapula, it was assumed he would miss a couple of weeks, but now we know for sure. Ultimately, […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoMike White Officially Named The Starter
Updating a previous report, quarterback Mike White has officially been named the starting quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday. However, White is not a recommended start against the Bills strong defense, even if he does get wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) back this week. White under center does benefit the running backs, as […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoDalvin Cook At Practice On Wednesday
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will practice on Wednesday despite an ongoing investigation into a domestic-violence incident. Obviously, some stories are bigger than football, and evidence and witness testimonies are still being gathered, so this is a situation that doesn't feel like it will be over anytime soon. From a football standpoint, the NFL […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoAntonio Brown Not Practicing On Wednesday
Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) was in sweats at practice on Wednesday as he tries to come back from his ankle injury. An earlier video of the wide receiver during his rehab work showed that he still had instability and swelling on his injured ankle, which would suggest that him playing this […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoEagles Sign Jordan Howard To Activate Roster
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed running back Jordan Howard to the active roster after protecting him from the practice squad the last two weeks. This signals that the Eagles plan to keep, and likely use, Howard for the rest of the season, even after Miles Sanders (ankle) comes back. Obviously, this further muddies the waters […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoMike White Trending Towards Starting for Jets
Despite both New York Jets quarterbacks returning to practice this week, it will be Mike White (forearm) who will start on Sunday versus the Bills. After White threw for over 400 yards against the Bengals, he looked good in early drives against the Colts before leaving with a nerve issue in his forearm. However, White […]

You asked for it, so here it is: Rest of Season defense rankings. We've hit the point of the fantasy season where fantasy managers have a much better sense of where their team stands in regards to the playoffs. Some have all but locked in bids, while others pretty much know their season is over, […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoWeek 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Well, Week 8 was a doozy! I got only five of the top-10 defenses correct (based on FantasyPros scoring) with the Rams and Bengals both finishing one point below the cut-off. However, that seems to be par for the course with Week 8 results. The top-three point scorers at quarterback were Jimmy Garoppolo, Justin Fields, […]
Eric Samulski 3 years agoKyler Murray Not Spotted At The Open Portion Of Practice
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was not at the open portion of practice for the second day in a row. Earlier this week, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he was comfortable with Murray starting without suiting up for any practices, and the reports are that Murray was likely to play on Sunday. However, anybody […]
