Cleveland Browns cornerback Greedy Williams (shoulder) is not practicing on Thursday. Williams has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since the middle of August and his status for Cleveland’s Week 1 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens is looking shaky. The likely absence of Williams is going to be a big problem for the Browns as it leaves Denzel Ward and not much else as they

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (groin) is currently questionable for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after putting in a limited session on Wednesday. Gage is practicing on Thursday, though it will be interesting to see what his status is on the injury report. The 24-year-old took over the Mohamed Sanu role in the Falcons’ offense and had four games where he was

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was listed as a co-starter at the position with Melvin Gordon III when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. With Gordon dealing with a minor rib injury recently, the Broncos could go with more of a 50/50 split on Monday night against the Titans or use a hot-hand approach. Lindsay ran for over 1,000 yards in

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was listed as a co-starter with Phillip Lindsay when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. Gordon has also been bothered by a rib injury in the last week, but he returned to practice last Friday. The Broncos brought in the 27-year-old in free agency to be the lead back, but it sounds as though the

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton looked great in training camp and is looking to take a step forward from his 2019 Pro Bowl season as the team’s top offensive threat. Sutton has already shown his ability on the deep ball, but he impressed with his connection with quarterback Drew Lock on intermediate routes in camp. The third-year receiver was Lock’s go-to receiver, and he

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) was expected to increase his practice workload on Wednesday, but he is deemed “highly questionable” to play on Monday night against the Titans, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Linebacker Mark Barron (hamstring), who was injured last Friday, is also highly questionable. Hamler is very quick and can make big plays when the ball is in his

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook probably needs to find the end zone against Tampa Bay to justify starting him in Week 1. Cook did that a career-high nine times last season- including two against Tampa’s defense- though he was not utilized as much in the red zone as one would think. Backup tight end Josh Hill actually recorded the same amount of red

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin) told NFL Network’s Stacey Dales that he’s one step closer to feeling healthy after not doing much in practice on Wednesday to “be safe.” Montgomery thought that he initially tore something when he suffered the injury on Aug. 26. He was listed as limited on the injury report on Wednesday, so he’s trending in the right direction to

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith should not be in fantasy lineups in Week 1. Smith could be a sneaky sleeper down the line, but it’s too early to take a plunge and insert him into lineups, despite the matchup against an inconsistent Bucs secondary. The 24-year-old battled injuries last year and when he was in the lineup, faced stiff competition for targets. He

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had a solid 2019 campaign, eclipsing 1,000 yards on the ground and picking up eight touchdowns. He enters this season as the No. 1 running back on the depth chart, but we can expect him to share time with rookie running backJonathan Taylor. Mack saw success against Jacksonville last season, picking up 186 yards and three touchdowns over two

The Los Angeles Chargers Defense is in play as a starting fantasy unit in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Chargers D lost a key contributor in safety Derwin James (knee) for the season, they still have a dominant pass rush led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Rookie linebacker Kenneth Murray could make an immediate impact, and nose tackle Linval Joseph will

There is a lot of optimism that Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quadriceps) will make his debut with the team on Thursday Night Football in Week 1 against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen how effective he’ll be if he’s active. For a receiver that relies mostly on his speed to be successful, a lower-body injury for Cooks is even more concerning.

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon could surprise some people going into the 2020 season. The Jets don’t have many reliable options, so Herndon should get plenty of chances, assuming he can stay on the field. Sadly, his first matchup is against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. The Bills allowed the second fewest amount of fantasy points to tight ends last season. The

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders gets a good matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though he comes with some risk. Sanders is now 33, playing in a new offense with a new quarterback after an offseason with no preseason games. It helps that he enjoyed a strong training camp this year and that much of the defensive attention will be directed towards fellow

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) was able to fully practice on Wednesday. He should be able to suit up for Sunday’s Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. However, Mims is currently listed as the No. 4 option on the depth chart. He’s expected to pass Chris Hogan at some point, but won’t have great value to begin the season. The Jets

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (calf) is on the team’s Week 1 injury report, but he got in a full practice on Wednesday and should be fine for the season opener at the Bengals on Sunday. The Chargers officially named Taylor the starter to open the season last week, while first-round rookie Justin Herbert will be the backup. The 31-year-old will run what’s expected

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder is probably going to be the team’s best receiving option this season. He’s currently listed as the No. 2 option, but will probably carry the most value. Sadly, he’ll begin the season versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. A team that defends against the passing game very well. Crowder should see plenty of targets, which means he

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) was able to fully practice on Wednesday. It seems like he’ll be good to play during their Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Perriman is listed as the Jets No. 1 receiver, but his fantasy value isn’t that great. The Bills defend well versus the passing game and Perriman hasn’t done enough to warrant trust from

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers had a tough 2019 season in Los Angeles, going 5-11 and finishing with the second-worst quarterback rating of his career. He will get a fresh start in Indianapolis, where he inherits one of the best offensive lines in football. Rivers’ lack of mobility at his age makes protection even more important. He will face a rebuilding Jacksonville team in Week

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) visited with Dr. Robert Anderson on Thursday and will have surgery to fix his dislocated tendon, according to a source. Miller will be out for at least three months and is unlikely to play in 2020. It’s a huge blow to Denver’s defense, as Miller and Bradley Chubb were looking forward to forming one of the best pass-rushing duos
