The New England Patriots placed rookie tight end Dalton Keene (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Rookie Devin Asiasi is also on IR, so that leaves just Ryan Izzo as the only current tight end on the team’s active roster. Keene, a third-round pick out of Virginia Tech, has played in just one game this year and caught his only target for eight yards. He

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee, illness) were both full participants in practice on Tuesday after sitting out on Monday. Brown caught four of his nine targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 in the win over the Bears. He now has 31 catches and six touchdowns on the year and remains a WR1 as

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (groin) was a full participant in practice for the second day in a row on Tuesday. It was just a walkthrough, but things are trending in the right direction for Hilton to play on Thursday night against the Titans after he sat out the Week 9 loss to the Ravens. The 31-year-old veteran will join Zach Pascal and rookie

The National Football League owners approved a proposal on Tuesday to add two playoff teams — eight in each conference — if regular season games get cancelled due to COVID-19. If the league has to go to this contingency plan, the league will not re-seed the teams, according to commissioner Roger Goodell. The expanded playoff format would only become a reality if the NFL can’t

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team won’t consider taking a quarterback with a high draft pick in the first round, confirming the team’s faith in Dak Prescott in the long term. “Yes, it’s crazy to bring the idea up and I’m answering yes,” Jones said when asked during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan if it was crazy to consider a quarterback with

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tavon Young agreed to take a $2.85 million pay cut in 2021 in order to give the team some much-needed salary cap space going into next season, according to a source. Young has only played in one full game since he signed his three-year, $25.8 million extension before the 2019 season, which at the time made him the league’s highest-paid nickelback. Baltimore

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (neck) is dealing with a sore neck after getting hit hard during a sack in the Monday night win over the Jets. “My neck is only working on a degree angle that shuts off the degrees to one side. So my eye muscles are getting a lot of work in today,” Newton said. Jets safety Ashtyn Davis was penalized

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed kicker Chase McLaughlin off the Vikings practice squad to their active roster on Tuesday. McLaughlin was released by the Colts nine weeks ago and found his way over to Minnesota’s practice squad, but he hasn’t kicked in a game yet this year. The Jaguars are once again in need of a kicker after Josh Lambo (hip) aggravated an injury that caused

Dallas Cowboys impressive rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs (foot) suffered a fractured bone in his foot in the Week 9 loss to the Steelers and will be out four to six weeks, according to sources. Based on the timing, Diggs could wind up missing the rest of the season, but he should make a full recovery for the 2021 season. The 22-year-old from Alabama has really

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins, running back Jaylen Samuels, and linebacker Vince Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday morning. Roethlisberger was deemed a high-risk close contact, according to a source. Provided he passes COVID-19 tests this week, he would be eligible to come off the list Saturday and play on Sunday against the Bengals. All four players must

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd continues to get consistent targets in this offense, but has minimal fantasy value. He hauled in five of his nine targets for 65 yards in the Week 9 win over the New York Jets. The Pats are banged up with both of their two top receivers sidelined. Byrd gets targets, but is never really able to do anything

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was expected to have a significant role in the passing game with the Pats receivers banged up. He hauled in 12 of his 14 targets for 169 yards in the Week 9 win over the New York Jets. Meyers has seen 24 targets over the last two games with the Pats two top receivers sidelined. He might carry

New England Patriots running back James White came into this Week 9 matchup versus the New York Jets with zero rushing yards on the ground over the last two games. Somehow, that trend continued when White rushed two times for zero yards in the win. Luckily, he was able to haul in four of his five targets for 24 yards in the passing game. Sony

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead was able to bounce back after three straight dud performances coming into Week 9. He rushed 12 times for 56 yards and one touchdown, while catching three passes for 11 yards through the air. Damien Harris (chest) exited early in this game, which gave Burkhead more chances in the second half. Burkhead had a nice outing against the

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (chest) was able to get it done on the ground before exiting early against the New York Jets in Week 9. Harris rushed 14 times for 71 yards before leaving this game in the second half and not returning. The Patriots are hopeful that Sony Michel (quad) will be able to return for the matchup against the Baltimore

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was able to somewhat rebound against the New York Jets in Week 9. He completed 27 of 35 passing attempts for 274 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. It wasn’t a great statistical outing by Newton passing the ball, but he was able to salvage his fantasy value with 10 rushing attempts for 16 yards and two touchdowns.

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) was able to suit up during the Week 9 matchup with the New England Patriots. Crowder was not 100 percent healthy for this game and it showed. He hauled in both of his targets for 26 yards and one touchdown in the loss. Crowder was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with that score, but regardless

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims saw a season-high eight targets during the Week 9 matchup with the New England Patriots. He hauled in four of them for 62 yards in the loss. Mims is not exactly putting up great numbers, but the Jets do seem to like involving him in the offense. Fantasy owners might be able to use him as a WR4

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman was basically invisible on the field until his Week 9 performance against the New England Patriots. Perriman was cleared from concussion protocol before the game, which the Jets were lucky that happened. He hauled in five of his seven targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Fantasy owners shouldn’t get too excited here. It could’ve

New York Jets running back La’Mical Perine has struggled to find any consistency during the first half of the season. To be fair, he is stuck behind veteran back Frank Gore for some reason. Perine rushed six times for 19 yards and caught two passes for 19 yards in the Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots. It’s going to be difficult for Perine
