Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard benefited greatly from Davante Adams (hamstring) absence during Week 3, amassing six receptions for a career-high 146 receiving yards and a touchdown. Should Adams continue to be sidelined this Sunday against Atlanta, Lazard would track up the board as a premier WR option due to the Falcons propensity for being burned by opposing wideouts through the first three

The New York Giants have inked veteran running back Alfred Morris to the teams practice squad in a continued attempt to bolster their backfield situation in light of Saquon Barkleys (knee) season-ending injury. Morris last appeared in 2019 in one game for the Cardinals, receiving just one carry for four yards. His best days came as a member of Washington, where he was a two-time

Free-agent safety Earl Thomas was set to have a workout with the Houston Texans on Tuesday, but COVID-19-related protocol scuttled that meeting. Things had advanced between the two sides to the point that Thomas had already taken a physical with the organization. Released by Baltimore during training camp following an altercation with a teammate, the seven-time Pro Bowler would be a sound addition to the

The Los Angeles Chargers placed cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and promoted defensive back Jahleel Addae to the active roster in a corresponding move. Harris suffered a foot injury in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers that is expected to keep him out for at least a month and potentially up to six weeks. With All-Pro safety Derwin James

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (undisclosed), who suffered an undisclosed injury in the Week 3 win over the Vikings, avoided a major injury. It’s too early to tell whether Lewan will be able to play in Week 4 against the Steelers, but there’s optimism that if he misses time, he won’t be out for too long. The Titans could be in danger of having

The Philadelphia Eagles placed tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he’ll be out at least three weeks. In a corresponding move, the team signed tight end Hakeem Butler to the active roster off the Panthers practice squad. Goedert has a small fracture in his left ankle and also an ankle sprain. He’ll be back this year, though, and was a

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien is expected to get the start on Thursday against the Jets over Jeff Driskel, according to sources. Driskel looked terrible, albeit against a strong Buccaneers Defense, in the Week 3 loss, and Drew Lock (shoulder) will miss at least another week of action while he recovers from his injury. Rypien, 24, saw his first game action last Sunday with the

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring), rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder) and offensive tackle George Fant (concussion) will all be limited in Tuesday’s walkthrough practice. All three players are trending toward playing on Thursday night against the Broncos. It’s good news for a Jets offense that has been pitiful without Crowder and running back Le’Veon Bell

There is a chance that Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) could play in Week 5 against the Patriots, but the Broncos have more hope that he’ll return in Week 6 in a more favorable matchup against the Dolphins. This is why Denver didn’t place the 23-year-old on short-term Injured Reserve. The offense was just unable to get into any kind of flow in Week

Las Vegas Raiders rookie cornerback Damon Arnette (thumb) is visiting a thumb specialist on Tuesday after he injured it in the Week 3 loss to the Patriots, and he could be sidelined up to six weeks. In a worst-case scenario, Arnette would be placed on Injured Reserve. The first-round pick fractured the same thumb in training camp, so this is certainly something to watch moving

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) tweaked his groin in the Monday night win over the Ravens, but it’s not believed to be a serious injury. Jones has been a Pro Bowler each of the last two seasons and recorded two sacks of Lamar Jackson on Monday night, proving how valuable he is to the Chiefs Defense. Kansas City is hoping that the

The Minnesota Vikings are suspending team activities starting Tuesday after a number of positive COVID-19 tests following their Week 3 loss to the Titans. The Vikings haven’t had a reported positive test, but they hosted the Titans last Sunday and Tennessee has since reported three new positive tests for players and five new positive tests for personnel. The Vikings evacuated their facility on Tuesday morning.

The Tennessee Titans had three new players test positive for COVID-19 and five new personnel people test positive after their Week 3 win over the Vikings. As a result, the Titans won’t be allowed in their facilities until Saturday, with everything being done remotely until then. The Steelers, who play the Titans in Week 4, are proceeding as if Sunday’s game is on schedule, but

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) has a small left ankle fracture and a sprained ankle, according to an NFL source. Head coach Doug Pederson said that Goedert will be out for an extended period of time, but the source said the timeline for a return shouldn’t be too lengthy. The ankle will not require surgery, but Goedert is expected to miss at least

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle caught the team’s only offensive touchdown in the team’s Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, with a five-yard grab on his only target of the game. Boyle has just four receptions through three games and while the touchdown was nice for anyone using him as a punt play in DFS, it didn’t really help anyone in season-long

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Devin Duvernay showed off his speed on Monday night, taking a kickoff 93 yards to the house for the first kick-return touchdown of the 2020 NFL season. He was less effective as a receiver, catching two passes for seven yards. Duvernay is an intriguing young player who should see his role grow as the year progresses, but he also has

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown was incredibly quiet in Monday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching two of his six targets and finishing with 13 yards. With Baltimore finishing with under 100 passing yards, Brown’s numbers still put him third on the team in receiving yards, if you’re looking for a positive to take away from this game. Brown’s a high-ceiling and low-floor

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews led the team in targets on Monday against the Chiefs. Unfortunately, he couldn’t bring most of them in, finishing with three receptions for 22 yards. Andrews had trouble with his hands all night. Usually a reliable tight end, we can probably chalk this one up to the struggles of the entire Ravens offense. Andrews remains a weekly TE1 play

On a night where the passing game never materialized, it was Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins who led the team in targets and yards, catching four passes for 38 yards. He added six rushing yards on one carry. The takeaways from this one are a bit of a mixed bag for fantasy managers. You like to see the targets, but who viable of an

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II couldn’t find any room in Monday night’s loss to the Chiefs, rushing seven times for 30 yards and failing to bring in his only target. Not a great showing from the veteran back, but he did have seven of the 12 carries for running backs on the night and remains the lead back. He’s a solid RB2/3 option
