    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Should be ready after bye week
    9m ago

    General manager Andrew Berry reiterated Wednesday that Watson's bruised right shoulder isn't a long-term concern, and the quarterback is expected to be ready to play Oct. 15 against the 49ers following the Browns' Week 5 bye, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Berry's assessment of Watson's health essentially matches what Kevin Stefanski said on Monday, when the head coach noted that Watson had been medically cleared in advance of this past Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens. Watson, however, made the decision to hold himself out of the contest after testing out his shoulder in pregame warmups and determining that he didn't think he could play at a winning level, per Tom Withers of the Associated Press. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson ended up getting the start in Watson's stead but struggled mightily, as the Browns generated just 166 yards of offense across 65 plays. The bye week comes at a convenient time for Watson, with Berry noting that the shoulder injury "will heal in the short term" and isn't expected to be a factor when the Browns return to action Week 6, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com.

    Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Likely done for season
    31m ago

    Gonzalez will undergo surgery in the near future to address the torn labrum and dislocated right shoulder he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and is likely to miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The shoulder injury is a brutal blow for the Patriots, as Gonzalez, the No. 17 overall pick in April's draft, had already gotten off to a strong start to his career with 17 tackles, one sack, three pass breakups and an interception through his first four games. In the coming days, Gonzalez will likely become the fourth Patriots cornerback to hit injured reserve, joining Marcus Jones (shoulder), Jack Jones (hamstring) and Isaiah Bolden (concussion). To address their depleted depth in the secondary, the Patriots struck a deal with the Chargers on Wednesday to acquire veteran J.C. Jackson, who recorded 25 interceptions with New England from 2018 through 2021 but struggled during his one-plus seasons in Los Angeles.

    Patriots' J.C. Jackson: Returning to New England
    1h ago

    The Patriots acquired Jackson and a 2025 seventh-round draft pick from the Chargers on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Jackson will be kicking off his second stint in New England, where he began his career as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He emerged as one of the game's top cornerbacks during his time with the Patriots, recording 25 interceptions in four seasons before bolting for Los Angeles in free agency following the season on a five-year, $82.5 million deal. He never appeared to be a good fit with the Chargers, however, as he missed extensive time with a ruptured patellar tendon in 2022 and struggled in coverage in the first two games of 2023 before being a healthy inactive the past two weeks. Since Jackson's deal contains no guaranteed money beyond this season, the Patriots won't take on much risk by bringing him aboard, and the return to a familiar scheme could help rejuvenate the 27-year-old. Jackson may even be a candidate to move into a starting role right away with rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez expected to miss multiple weeks with a torn labrum and dislocated shoulder.

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Gets no work on offense Week 4
    1h ago

    Tucker didn't play any snaps on offense Sunday in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints.

    Among Tampa Bay running backs, Tucker had logged the second-most snaps behind starter Rachaad White in each of the first three weeks but did little with his playing time, mustering just 23 yards on 15 carries and nine yards on two receptions. Tucker dropped to third on the depth chart Sunday, allowing Ke'Shawn Vaughn (nine carries for 16 yards, one reception for three yards) to see 20 snaps as the No. 2 back, with much of his production coming in garbage time. According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, offensive coordinator Dave Canales said Monday that the Buccaneers felt more comfortable with Vaughn as their No. 2 back in Week 4 due to his familiarity with the Saints' pressure packages and defensive scheme, so Vaughn may not be necessarily locked in as White's top backup moving forward.

    Sherfield caught two of his three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins.

    Sherfield had an underwhelming performance Sunday despite playing the third-most widsnaps (27) behind Stefon Diggs (44) and Gabe Davis (42). Playing ahead of Khalil Shakir and Deonte Harty, the veteran wideout was unable to make the most of his opportunities. With so many mouths to feed on a talented offense in Buffalo, Sherfield will likely continue to find it difficult to consistently produce for fantasy purposes. The Bills are set to square off against the Jaguars in Week 5.

    Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Iffy for Sunday
    1h ago

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell was non-committal about St. Brown's availability for Sunday's game against the Panthers while the receiver tends to an unspecified injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Campbell offered no insight into the injury, which St. Brown presumably sustained in the Lions' 34-20 win over the Packers last Thursday. St. Brown took on a relatively normal snap share (88 percent) in that game and finished with five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown, so no sign of injury was evident in his playing time or production. The Lions will hold their first official Week 5 practice Wednesday and release their injury report after the session, at which time the nature of St. Brown's injury will be known. Birkett notes that the Lions held an informal practice Tuesday, and while St. Brown didn't take part in team drills, he was spotted running at full speed off to the side under the supervision of trainers.

    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Was medically cleared for Week 4
    4h ago

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Watson (shoulder) was medically cleared to play in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens, but the quarterback wasn't comfortable playing through the injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Rookie backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson ended up getting the start in place of Watson and struggled to move the offense throughout the day. Stefanski backed up his medical staff's assessment of Watson's shoulder while also acknowledging that the signal-caller knows his body. All signs pointed to the team believing Watson would be available, and the impression is that the Browns were caught off guard by Watson's decision. Stefanski said following Sunday's loss that the quarterback should be ready to go Week 6 against San Francisco following the team's bye week.

    Seahawks' Drew Lock: Short relief stint Monday

    Lock completed two of six passes for 63 yards in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants. He also rushed once for 11 yards.

    Lock closed out the second quarter after Geno Smith left briefly with a knee injury. This was his first regular-season action with the Seahawks. While his completion percentage was ugly, his night featured a short completion to Noah Fant, who raced down the right sideline for a 51-yard pickup. Smith finished the game and should be ready to go following the Seahawks' Week 5 bye, but the situation is worth monitoring in superflex leagues.

  • Kenny Pickett PIT QB
    Steelers' Kenny Pickett: Expected to practice Wednesday
    22h ago

    Head coach Mike Tomlin said Pickett (knee) is scheduled to practice in some capacity Wednesday, and the Steelers will wait and see how the quarterback fares during the week before deciding on his status for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

    Tomlin confirmed that Pickett is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, an injury that may affect the signal-caller's comfort and mobility in the pocket. The diagnosis is probably a best-case scenario for the second-year quarterback, who was fortunate to avoid ligament damage in this past Sunday's loss to the Texans. Based on Tomlin's comments, Pickett looks poised to open Week 5 prep as a limited practice participant, but the 25-year-old could have a shot at playing this Sunday so long as he's not too compromised. Mitch Trubisky directed the Pittsburgh offense for the fourth quarter of last week's game and would presumably start against the Ravens if Pickett is unable to go.

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Smith twisted his knee during Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants, but the injury isn't serious, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Smith didn't appear limited by his injury during the second half of Monday's matchup, and while he may be sore for a few days after the win, he'll have plenty of time to recover with the Seahawks set to enjoy a bye Week 5. The team will undoubtedly monitor its starting quarterback closely over the next two weeks, but he should have a good chance of gaining clearance to play in Seattle's Week 6 road matchup with the Bengals. Smith finished the win over the Giants with 13 completions on 20 attempts for 110 yards and a touchdown.

    Jones completed 27 of 34 passes for 203 yards and rushed 10 times for 66 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks. He was intercepted twice and fumbled twice, losing one.

    Jones completed 14 of 17 first-half passes, but he mustered a modest 121 passing yards and lost a fumble as the Giants took a 14-3 deficit into the locker room and remained the only team without a first-half touchdown this season. Things didn't get any better after halftime, as Jones was picked off twice, including a pick-six from Seattle's three-yard line. In fairness to Jones, the offensive line also didn't give him much time, as he was sacked 10 times. Jones fell to 1-12 in prime-time games in his career, including 0-7 on MNF, but he'll have the benefit of a regular 1:00 p.m. Sunday kickoff in Miami as he looks to bounce back Week 5.

    Williams handled one carry for four yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.

    Despite operating as Cincinnati's No. 2 running back, Williams was unable to get involved in the game plan Sunday behind starter Joe Mixon. The fifth-year back played on just six of the Bengals' 53 offensive snaps in the contest, while Mixon handled 42 snaps. With such limited involvement, Williams' doesn't hold much fantasy utility, barring injuries. The Bengals are set to visit the Cardinals in Week 5.

With that said, Joe Mixon remains the only reliable fantasy back in this offense going forward, barring an injury. Evans should remain far of the fantasy radar going forward.

    Gibson rushed six times for 19 yards while securing his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Eagles.

    Gibson's disappointing season continued Sunday, as the veteran failed to produce for fantasy purposes against the Eagles. The fourth-year running back saw his snap percentage drop in Week 4, handling a 39 percent snap share after seeing a 63 percent share in Week 3. Fellow rusher Brian Robinson, however, continued to be more involved in the Commanders' offensive scheme. Going forward, Gibson will likely continue to be difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production, barring an injury to Robinson. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old will look to get more involved when the Commanders host the Bears in Week 5.

    With backup running back Keaontay Ingram (neck) out Sunday, Demercado saw an expanded role behind starter James Conner. The undrafted free agent rookie played 25 of the Cardinals' 71 offensive snaps, his highest snap share by far through four games. Demercado handled just one carry, but quarterback Joshua Dobbs got the first-year running back involved in the passing game with his largest target total of the season. Despite his increased involvement against the 49ers, Demercado should remain off the fantasy radar in a Week 5 matchup with the Bengals.

The veteran wideout saw the fewest snaps of any Bills' receiver, playing behind Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Trent Sherfield and Khalil Shakir. Despite being in a high-powered offense, Harty's 21 percent snap share average is limiting his opportunities to be a consistent contributor in Buffalo.

In fact, the veteran tight end played one fewer snap than rookie Dalton Kincaid, who finished the game with four catches on five targets. It appears Kincaid has become the preferred pass catching option in Buffalo's tight end corps, giving Knox less upside for fantasy purposes. If a near-even split continues between the Bills' top-two options, Knox will at least have a chance to be involved in some capacity.

The veteran played 79 percent of Washington's offensive snaps, far ahead of both John Bates and Cole Turner. Though his yardage total wasn't very significant and he didn't find the end zone in the contest, Thomas' involvement in the offense in his return was a promising sight for fantasy managers.

    Gonzalez will undergo surgery in the near future to address the torn labrum and dislocated right shoulder he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and is likely to miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The shoulder injury is a brutal blow for the Patriots, as Gonzalez, the No. 17 overall pick in April's draft, had already gotten off to a strong start to his career with 17 tackles, one sack, three pass breakups and an interception through his first four games. In the coming days, Gonzalez will likely become the fourth Patriots cornerback to hit injured reserve, joining Marcus Jones (shoulder), Jack Jones (hamstring) and Isaiah Bolden (concussion). To address their depleted depth in the secondary, the Patriots struck a deal with the Chargers on Wednesday to acquire veteran J.C.

    The Patriots acquired Jackson and a 2025 seventh-round draft pick from the Chargers on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Jackson will be kicking off his second stint in New England, where he began his career as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He emerged as one of the game's top cornerbacks during his time with the Patriots, recording 25 interceptions in four seasons before bolting for Los Angeles in free agency following the season on a five-year, $82.5 million deal. He never appeared to be a good fit with the Chargers, however, as he missed extensive time with a ruptured patellar tendon in 2022 and struggled in coverage in the first two games of 2023 before being a healthy inactive the past two weeks. Since Jackson's deal contains no guaranteed money beyond this season, the Patriots won't take on much risk by bringing him aboard, and the return to a familiar scheme could help rejuvenate the 27-year-old. Jackson may even be a candidate to move into a starting role right away with rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez expected to miss multiple weeks with a torn labrum and dislocated shoulder.
