Raiders rule out top players Davante Adams (hamstring), Maxx Crosby (ankle) against Browns

Patriots Encouraged By Drake Maye’s Development; No Timeline For QB Change
Jacoby Brissett remains atop the Patriots’ quarterback depth chart for the time being.

New England has been “very encouraged” by Maye’s progress so far, Phil
NFL Fantasy 2024 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Defenses for Week 3

Daniel Bellinger on blown facemask call: I asked for an explanation and didn’t get any
The officiating crew committed a baffling mistake on Thursday night when Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger was flagged for facemasking, even though replays showed that Bellinger didn’t grab Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown’s facemask, and instead Overshown grabbed Bellinger’s facemask. That mistake was a 30-yard swing favoring the Cowboys. After the
Latest On Eagles CB Cooper DeJean
When Cooper DeJean was drafted, he joined an Eagles secondary which underwent a number of changes in 2024. The second-rounder played at both corner and safety during his college tenure, but the team has narrowed down his role for the time being. “Yeah, right now he’s the backup nickel,” defensive coordinator Vic
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson excited to play Jaire Alexander, not ‘tripping’ over Packers CB’s ‘head game’
Jefferson has had some monster games against Green Bay, generating 150-plus yards twice against former Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry. When Alexander has been matched up one-on-one with Jefferson, the corner has slowed the best wideout in the league, but it’s a small sample size. Per Next Gen Stats, Jefferson
Tight ends for Week 3
Through two games, Schultz has just five catches for 37 yards, with a single-digit total in fantasy points. The Texans might boast a high-powered offense, but with three viable receivers all fighting for volume, plus Joe Mixon getting plenty of carries, there just has not been enough action to also
Giants miss Saquon Barkley, badly
The Giants miss running back Saquon Barkley. We all saw it coming, thanks to the team’s ill-advised decision to welcome Hard Knocks cameras and microphones into the building during the offseason.

‘I’m finally playing ball and having fun with the guys’
Chase is due $4.86 million in 2024, excruciatingly low for a wideout of his caliber. In Year 5 of his contract, that number jumps to $21.816 million. With no deal coming this year, the storyline will reboot in the offseason. Chase sat out training camp practices in an attempt to
Wide receivers for Week 3
The only thing scary about McLaurin right now is starting him in fantasy leagues. He was targeted just 11 times in the first two games. Now, he leads the team in that category, but it’s not enough volume. He also has been tethered to the left side of the field
Kliff Kingsbury: Cool to see Kyler Murray playing as well as he is

Running backs for Week 3
The Bears offense has underwhelmed, and it is dragging everyone in it down. The offensive line gets most of the blame, especially on the interior. Swift has logged 24 carries this season, averaging 2 yards per attempt, and an alarming -4 yards before contact. That means he has to run
Can Trevor Lawrence “flip a switch” again, like he did in 2022?
On Wednesday, while explaining the team’s embarrassing 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday Night Football, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said this: “We’ve been in a worse spot than this before.” Have they, though? Actually, they have. Two years ago, a loss to the then-hapless Broncos in London dropped the
‘I’m not a running back’
Cleveland’s offense is bad — 31st in total yards bad — and Watson’s performance has been even worse. Among quarterbacks to start all three games this season, Watson ranks last in passing yards per attempt (4.8), yards per dropback (3.8), success rate (31.9 percent) and sacks taken (16). Inexplicably —

Five potential landing spots for Bryce Young to resurrect his NFL career
If Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is to resurrect his NFL career, it most likely won’t be in Carolina. Panthers head coach Dave Canales benched him in Week 3, and Carolina’s offense came to life with veteran Andy Dalton at quarterback. However, after only 18 NFL starts, it’s far too early
NFL Fantasy 2024 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Quarterbacks for Week 3
