The Detroit Lions are acquiring defensive end Everson Griffen from the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick, according to sources. The Cowboys are now 2-5 after their loss to Washington and are officially sellers with the trade deadline approaching and franchise quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) out for the season. In seven games for Dallas this year, the veteran pass-rusher had

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy doesn’t think now is the time for him to give up play-calling duties after the Monday night loss to the Rams. The Bears offense currently ranks 27th in the league in scoring. “Right now, where we’re at, that’s not where we think it’s at, but at the same point in time, I’ll always continue each week to look at

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving rookie kicker Samuel Sloman on Tuesday. Sloman connected on all three of his extra points in the Monday night win over the Bears but had one of his two field-goal tries blocked. He hadn’t seen enough volume (11 field-goal attempts) this year in the Rams offense in seven games to be considered anything more than a shaky streaming option

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase gave quarterback Sam Darnold a vote of confidence after one of the worst statistical games of his career in the Week 7 loss to the Bills. Darnold was expected to make a second-year leap under Gase, but instead he’s showed signs of regression for the 0-7 Jets. It has sparked speculation that New York might draft Clemson quarterback

Washington Football Team safety Landon Collins (Achilles) will have surgery to fix a torn left Achilles tendon that he suffered in the Week 7 win over the Cowboys. An MRI exam confirmed the diagnosis on Monday, and Collins will miss the rest of the season. He will eventually be placed on Injured Reserve. Collins had a sack fumble that led to a safety in the

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who has been designated to return from Injured Reserve, is wearing a red jersey again on Tuesday, which means he won’t take part in practice. With the Panthers playing on Thursday night against the Falcons, it increases the likelihood that McCaffrey won’t be available. The 24-year-old All-Pro will be a long shot to play in Week 8 against

The Baltimore Ravens are signing wide receiver Dez Bryant to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. It’s a notable signing for the three-time Pro Bowler, but this doesn’t mean that the former Cowboys star receiver will make Baltimore’s active roster at any point during the rest of the season. Bryant hasn’t played in the NFL since 2017, when he had 69 catches

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed wide receiver Antonio Brown on Tuesday, according to a source. Brown will receive a $750,000 base salary and $250,000 per game as a roster bonus. The 32-year-old played in just one game last year with the Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady, catching four passes (eight targets) for 56 yards and a touchdown. The dynamic will be a bit different

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) will miss the team’s Week 8 contest against the Giants after fracturing his left index finger in the win over the Raiders. Godwin reportedly suffered the injury while making his touchdown grab in the fourth quarter against Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the injuries keep on piling up for Godwin and his fantasy managers, as he’s already dealt with

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman needed to put together a strong performance in Week 7, but he still couldn’t quite get the job done against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He went just one of two on his field goals, and his miss was even blocked. The Rams brought in veteran Kai Forbath last week to push Sloman for the job, but he

The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been a strong option all year, and they played lights-out in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. They harassed Bears quarterback Nick Foles all night and they forced him into multiple mistakes. They allowed only 10 points on the night, although seven of them were due to a mistake by the offense, and they were able

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett was announced as the starter at tight end shortly before the team’s Monday night game against the Chicago Bears, and he played well in that spot. He caught four of his five targets for 28 yards and he also secured the ever-important touchdown. Tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) missed the contest due to an injury, but it still

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has long been one of the most consistent receivers in fantasy, but he struggled to a quiet night in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He caught three of his five targets for 22 yards and he added four carries for 23 yards. This offense actively works to get the ball in the hands of

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds is often his team’s third option in the receiving game, but he was the team’s top option in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He caught four of his eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. The unfortunate issue for Reynolds is his lack of consistent volume. Despite having a quarterback that averages over

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was shut down in Week 6, but he bounced back against a tough Chicago Bears Defense in Week 7 on Monday night. He caught all six of his targets for 43 yards and he added one run for 16 yards. Kupp was second on the team in targets and he remained an integral part of this offense. Quarterback

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown hadn’t done much over the last month, but he showed some life in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He had 10 carries for 57 yards and he was able to get into the end zone. Brown brings little to nothing in the receiving game, and that’s why his touchdowns are so important. With the

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee) on Injured Reserve on Monday after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Week 7 loss to the Chargers. The team activated defensive end/linebacker Aaron Lynch to the active roster after he came out of retirement in a corresponding move. Westbrook was believed to have suffered a torn ACL during a kickoff return on Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson remained the lead back in Week 7, but he couldn’t put together a great fantasy performance against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He had 15 carries for 64 yards to go with two receptions for 13 yards. Henderson was taken off the field when his team got down near the goal line, and that really sapped his

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff didn’t put up a hefty yardage total in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears on Monday night, but he still managed to put together a solid fantasy outing. He completed 23 of 33 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. Goff continues to hover in the lower end of the QB1 conversation, and he performed well despite a bad

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had one reception on the season heading into the Week 7 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. He surprisingly saw some action during the blowout loss here. N’Keal Harry (head) was forced to exit early, which opened up playing time for Meyers. He hauled in four of his six targets for 60 yards during the Week 7 loss.
