Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) wasn't seen at Thursday's practice in the portion open to the media.

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (neck) woke up with a stiff neck on Thursday, which is why he was scratched from the starting lineup against the Washington Nationals.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.

Greg Zuerlein Not A Great Week 1 Option
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a viable starting option in Week 1 lineups.

With the Jets starting their season with a backup... Read More
Tyler Conklin Could Surprise In Week 1
New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin could be one of the more surprising fantasy assets in Week 1.

Elijah Moore Looks For A Quick Start In Week 1
New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore should serve as the WR1 for Joe Flacco and the Jets in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Drake London's Status Won't Be Known Until Later In The Week
Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that the team won't know rookie wide receiver Drake London's (knee) Week 1 status against the New Orleans Saints "until the end of the week."

Michael Carter Still Relevant, At Least For Week 1
New York Jets running back Michael Carter saw his fantasy stock drop precipitously when the Jets used their second-round pick on three-down back Breece Hall.
