Matt Breida Will Be Game-Time Decision
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said running back Matt Breida (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Monday against the Packers. Breida was limited in practice on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable. It's a good sign that Breida was able to practice after sitting out on Thursday and Friday, but he... Read More
Greg Olsen To Play Sunday
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is set to start in Week 6 against the Redskins, according to a team source. Olsen hasn't had any setbacks so far. It'll be Olsen's first action since he re-fractured his foot in the season opener. Despite the fact that he could be limited, Olsen is a low-end... Read More
David Moore Is Seattle's Surprise
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore isn't supposed to be seeing the field, much less be a real target other teams need to prepare to face. Moore made the roster by the skin of his teeth, and he was supposed to be buried in the depth chart behind the likes of Tyler Lockett, Doug Baldwin,... Read More
Pierre Garcon Expected To Play Against Packers
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder), who hasn't practiced this week, is likely to play in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night. “Guys have to step up and play in that position, also. Pierre has missed the week of practice, so I know he’s not going into it 100 percent.... Read More
Tyler Lockett Should Have Another Good Game
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner Tyler Lockett has been the model of consistency for the Seahawks passing game so far, and he should continue his breakout season in England. Lockett has hauled in touchdowns in four of the five games this season, and he has yet to be held under 50 yards receiving. While he's not... Read More
Trent Taylor Won't Play On Monday
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor (back) will not play on Monday night against the Packers due to a back condition, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Taylor had offseason back surgery to remove bone spurs from his back and has only 16 catches for 125 yards and a touchdown in five games this... Read More
Nick Vannett Expected to Play
Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett has been sidelined much of this week due to a lingering back injury, but head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Friday that he expects Vannett to play on Sunday. Carroll seemed supremely confident as he told reporters that Vannett was out of practice Friday only for rest and... Read More
Russell Wilson Deserves Strong Consideration In Week 6
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson went an entire game without a single rushing attempt last week for the first time in his career, but he still threw three TDs on the day to keep himself fantasy relevant. Now scheduled to face one of the most generous defenses in the game, Wilson remains a strong contender... Read More
Mike Davis Should Rip The Raiders
Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis took second billing against the Rams, and he'll likely reprise that role in London, but that didn't prevent him from finding paydirt. Davis scored again last week against LA, giving him three touchdowns in his last two games, and he's an odds-on favorite to do it again this week.... Read More
Chris Carson Poised For Huge Game In London
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson made his presence felt last week against the Rams by racking up his second straight 100-yard performance, but that may have just been a teaser for this week. Carson and Seattle's newfound commitment to the run are across the pond in London, and they're facing an Oakland defense that... Read More
Jaguars Hosting Thomas Rawls Saturday
The Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting free-agent running back Thomas Rawls for a tryout on Saturday. The team is looking for some depth behind T.J. Yeldon with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) possibly out until Week 10. The Jags already signed Jamaal Charles, David Williams and Bo Scarbrough though, so Rawls would be just a short-term fix.
Derrick Willies Placed On Injured Reserve
The Cleveland Browns placed rookie wide receiver Derrick Willies (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he broke his collarbone in practice on Friday. Breshad Perriman was signed to the active roster in a corresponding move. It's a tough break for Willies, as he made an impact in the team's Week 5 overtime win and... Read More
Browns Sign Breshad Perriman
The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman to their active roster on Saturday, according to a source. Perriman was a massive first-round bust for the Ravens, but he'll now provide the Browns with some depth with Derrick Willies (collarbone) on Injured Reserve and Rashard Higgins out two to four weeks. Jarvis Landry is... Read More
Martavis Bryant Dealing With Flu
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (flu) is dealing with the flu but is cautiously optimistic about playing in London against the Seahawks. Bryant was added to the Week 6 injury report and is questionable to play. Bryant had his best game of the season with three catches on three targets for 91 yards in... Read More
Trent Taylor Unlikely To Play Against Packers
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor (back) is unlikely to play on Monday against the Packers, in the opinion of NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. Taylor missed practice both Thursday and Friday. With Dante Pettis already being ruled out early in the week as well and veteran Pierre Garcon questionable, the Niners could... Read More
Garrett Celek Practices In Full
San Francisco 49ers tight end Garrett Celek (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited in practice on Thursday. Celek should be fine to play but will once again be off the fantasy radar while being behind George Kittle (knee), who has practiced on a limited basis the last two days.... Read More
Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Miss Practice Friday
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) both missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. Breida is highly questionable and could be dealing with a mid ankle sprain. If you own him, you should definitely be planning to be without him. Alfred Morris would... Read More
Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Be Game-Time Decisions
Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is saying that wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will both be game-time decisions against the 49ers on Monday night. It's not a certainty that either receiver will be able to play, though. With the game being on Monday night, it's much too risky to... Read More
Michael Crabtree Is A WR3/4 In Week 6
Baltimore Ravens sure-handed wide receiver Michael Crabtree spent extra time at practice working on getting back to the basics with quarterback Joe Flacco. Crabtree has had trouble with drops this year, as he leads the league with eight miscues. Still, he tops the team in receptions as well as targets and has hauled in five... Read More

Cooper Kupp, Brandin Cooks Clear Concussion Protocol
Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Cooper Kupp (concussion) and Brandin Cooks (concussion) officially cleared the concussion protocol, and they will be active on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. This offense has been arguably the best in football this season, and that should stay true against the Broncos on Sunday. The Broncos have struggled on defense,... Read More
