Cam Akers Could Return In The Playoffs

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (Achilles) could return if the Rams make the playoffs, according to head coach Sean McVay. At this point, the Rams seem like a lock to get into the postseason as they look like a top-3 team in the NFC. Still, McVay made no guarantees that the 2020 second-round […]

Wil Lutz Done For The Season

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz (groin) announced on Tuesday that he suffered a setback in his recovery and will shift his focus to being fully healthy for the 2022 season, meaning he will miss the remainder of the 2021 campaign. Brian Johnson made both of his field goals on Monday night in Seattle, one […]

Michael Gallup Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (calf) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve on Monday and will begin his 21-day window to be activated. Gallup will return to practice after being sidelined since Week 1, but there is currently no timetable for his return. Before exiting the Week 1 matchup with Tampa Bay, […]

Saquon Barkley Initially Hoped For Week 8 Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and the team staff were initially hoping for a Week 8 return to action following his ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. This is likely the reason the Giants opted to forego an IR stint for their stud ball-carrier, but according to reports it […]

Kadarius Toney Could Return In Week 8

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) could be available in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, depending on how much work he is able to get in practice this week, according to head coach Joe Judge. The team will be on the field from Thursday-Saturday in preparation for their Monday night […]

J.D. McKissic Outsnaps Antonio Gibson In Week 7

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic out-snapped Antonio Gibson 46-30 in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Gibson has been dealing with a shin injury that has been limiting his production the past couple of weeks, so that is certainly playing a factor in the increased playing time for McKissic. Moving forward, Gibson's […]

Nick Chubb Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (calf) returned to practice on Monday ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chubb has missed the past two games but seems to be on track to return this week after getting some work in on Monday. Upon his return to the lineup, Chubb will […]

Dyami Brown Scheduled For MRI On Monday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee) will have an MRI done on Monday, but the belief is the injury is minor as there are no major structural issues. Brown will likely be held out of the Week 8 matchup with the Denver Broncos and will then be reassessed after the team's BYE week, […]

Deshaun Watson Trade Talks Intensifying

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is drawing significant interest ahead of the NFL trade deadline, and the trade talks surrounding him are starting to intensify. The Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers seem like the two front-runners to acquire the star quarterback, and according to Mike Garafolo, Watson could potentially be eligible to play for his […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Will Miss Remainder Of 2021 Season

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) will miss the remainder of the 2021 season, according to head coach Urban Meyer. Chark suffered a fractured ankle against the Cincinnati Bengals on the second play of the game in Week 4, so Trevor Lawrence will be without what looked like his top option in the […]

Washington Defense Allows 24 Points

The Washington Football Team defense gave up 24 points to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on the way to a 24-10 loss on the road. With a fumble return and three sacks, the defense pulled out a decent game in terms of fantasy production. Moving forward, they still shouldn't be trusted as a […]

Chris Blewitt Makes One Field Goal

Washington Football Team kicker Chris Blewitt made one 45-yard field goal and one extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Blewitt missed one of his field-goal attempts, so he didn't leave a great impression in his NFL debut, but the release of Dustin Hopkins was likely a sign he earned enough […]

J.D. McKissic Totals 56 Yards

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic finished with four carries for 22 yards and four receptions for 34 yards, totaling 56 yards while seeing limited action. McKissic has carved out a significant role in the passing game, so that alone should be an incentive for fantasy managers to stash him moving forward. Not to […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Catches Six Passes

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones caught six passes for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Seals-Jones was efficient, as he caught six out of seven targets, with the only incompletion being a pass attempt into the end zone. As long as tight end Logan Thomas remains sidelined, the 26-year-old […]

Antonio Gibson Quiet In Week 7

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson posted his second straight dud in Week 7, as he was held to just 56 total yards on 16 touches. The sophomore has been dealing with a shin injury, and it is clear that it has been holding him back the past couple of games. Considering his role […]

Terry McLaurin Finishes With 122 Yards And Scores Touchdown

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught seven passes for 122 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. McLaurin took advantage of a banged-up secondary and was able to grab a 40-yard touchdown pass from Taylor Heinicke. Considering the lack of weapons who are healthy in the Washington […]

Taylor Heinicke Leads Washington In Rushing

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke completed 25-of-47 passes for 268 yards and a touchdown while adding 95 rushing yards to lead the team. His tremendous rushing stat line salvaged a potentially poor fantasy output, so fantasy managers can continue to expect his fantasy floor to be heightened because of his dual-threat ability. The Washington […]

Week 7 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

Welcome back RotoBallers! As we head into Week 7 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where bye weeks start to kick in which can have your fantasy lineups looking less than ideal heading into Sunday. It's more critical than ever to make the right lineup decisions and start the right players to […]

Washington Defense Should Be Benched In Week 7

The Washington Football Team defense once again faces an extremely hard matchup against the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and Aaron Jones in Week 7. Washington has given up the most passing yards and most passing touchdowns, so they are an easy fade against one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The Washington […]

Chris Blewitt - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Chris Blewitt is not a starting option in Week 7 as he makes his first appearance with the team. Dustin Hopkins was released, so Washington has given the 26-year-old the starting job ahead of his NFL debut on Sunday. The former University of Pittsburgh kicker could get some field goal opportunities, […]

J.D. McKissic - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic is entering himself into weekly FLEX consideration as he once again has carved out a significant role in the passing game. With Antonio Gibson (shin) banged up, McKissic could see some increased reps as a ball-carrier along with his significant target share in the passing game. The 28-year-old […]

Dyami Brown - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown could once again have a prominent role in the offense as Curtis Samuel (groin) remains sidelined. Brown was targeted six times in Week 6 but turned it into just three catches for 30 yards. Still, his deep-threat ability in a likely pass-heavy game script makes the rookie an […]

Ricky Seals-Jones - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones should once again have a significant role in the offense with Curtis Samuel (groin) being held out in Week 7. Seals-Jones has seen borderline elite usage in his previous two games, as he has been targeted 15 times during his time as the starter. He found the end […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin draws a juicy matchup in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, who will be without their top corner Jaire Alexander once again. The third-year stud is coming off back-to-back abysmal fantasy performances, but this will be another week where he sees high-volume in the passing game in […]

Taylor Heinicke - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke has the look of a QB2 in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, who have been relatively solid against the pass this season. The Packers defense has given up the sixth-fewest passing yards as well as the fourth-fewest yards per attempt to opposing teams, so it could be […]

Latavius Murray, Sammy Watkins Ruled Out

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) have been ruled out in Week 7. With Murray inactive, the Ravens will likely turn to another three-man committee approach, which will include Devonta Freeman, Le'Veon Bell, and Ty'Son Williams. With Lamar Jackson always having the possibility to lead the team in […]

Jimmy Graham Placed On COVID-19 List

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham was placed on the COVID-19 list on Friday, which means he will need two negative tests 24 hours apart to be eligible to play in Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. Graham hasn't been much of a factor in the offense so far this season, as he has caught just […]

49ers Still Believe In Brandon Aiyuk

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has had a tough start to his sophomore season, catching just eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown as we head into Week 7. General manager John Lynch said in a recent interview that the 49ers still "very much believe in" Aiyuk. Time will tell if the […]

Julio Jones Day-To-Day With Hamstring Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) will take it "day by day," according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Jones reaggravated his hamstring injury on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills, so his status for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs looks like it is trending in the wrong direction. The veteran has struggled […]

Teddy Bridgewater Expected To Start Thursday Night

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (foot) is expected to start Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Bridgewater took nine sacks in Week 6 coming off of a concussion, so he heads into Week 7 banged-up regardless if he is active or not. The 28-year-old threw for 334 yards and […]
