The Patriots on Wednesday reached a deal with free-agent LB Jamie Collins. That report came immediately after news of New England trading CB Stephon Gilmore to the Panthers, so the 2 sides clearly had already worked out the veteran's return. We'll see just how much playing time awaits Collins in a crowded LB corps. And we'll wait to see that before sticking him into IDP lineups. The secondary, meanwhile, can continue with players in their existing roles now that no Gilmore return from the PUP looms.
Giants S Jabrill Peppers left Sunday's game against the Saints with a hamstring injury. Despite having already been ruled out for the game, Peppers went out for the coin toss to begin overtime. We'll see about his outlook for Week 5 and beyond, but Peppers had already seen his playing time dip to a level that made him tough to play in IDP lineups.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch for tonight's game against the Bucs -- despite RB James White's absence. That leaves just Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor in New England's backfield.
Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers. S Kyle Dugger (hamstring) and LB Kyle Van Noy (groin) are active, despite entering the day questionable.
Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. Gibson was added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. We haven’t heard anything about his role being scaled back today, but he does come with at least a little more risk than usual.
ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today, "barring any pregame setback." Gibson was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited in Friday's practice. There's some elevated risk here, but Gibson still sits inside RB1 territory in the Week 4 Rankings.
Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (shoulder), LB Kyle Van Noy (groin) and S Kyle Dugger (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. All 3 put in limited practices each day this week. Dugger looks most iffy after his injury arose Thursday. The Sunday night kickoff means you probably shouldn't wait for any of them in your IDP lineup.
Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. Gibson was added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. HC Ron Rivera said he's "pretty confident" that Gibson will be able to play this weekend but wants to see how he feels on Saturday. We'll get Gibson's game status by noon ET on Sunday.
NBC Washington's JP Finlay hears that there's "little concern" about RB Antonio Gibson's status for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. Gibson sat out Thursday's practice with a shin issue but is expected back on Friday, per Finlay. We'll get another update on Gibson this afternoon, but he can stay penciled into Week 4 fantasy lineups for now.
Washington RB Antonio Gibson was held out of Thursday's practice with a shin injury. "Initial sense is Gibson sat today for precautionary reasons," The Athletic's Ben Standig tweeted. Check back tomorrow for another update on Gibson's status.
Patriots S Adrian Phillips is active for today's game against the Saints. He missed Thursday and Friday practices for personal reasons but appears good to go for the game. Phillips is a low-level IDP option, though.
Patriots S Adrian Phillips is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but it's listed as "not injury related." The team (of course) has provided no further details, but Phillips missed practice Thursday and Friday for what must be some sort of personal issue. Phillips climbed from 61% playing time in Week 1 to 75% last Sunday. He still opened Week 3 at the bottom of our DB rankings, though.
49ers RB JaMycal Hasty suffered a high-ankle sprain in the win over the Eagles and will be out "a while," HC Kyle Shanahan said. This tends to be a 4-6 weeks injury. Hasty, who was operating as San Francisco's #2 RB before going down in Week 2, can be dropped from all but the deepest of fantasy rosters.
49ers RB JaMycal Hasty injured an ankle in the 2nd half of Sunday's game against the Eagles and is officially questionable to return. RB Trey Sermon, meanwhile, is being evaluated for a concussion after losing a fumble on his 1st carry of the season. RB Elijah Mitchell at least returned for San Francisco after hurting his shoulder.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Jets. The rookie fumbled and blew a blitz pickup in the opener. RB J.J. Taylor is active in Stevenson’s place, but RB Damien Harris should dominate carries for New England.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson will be available for Sunday’s opener against the Dolphins, despite dislocating a thumb in practice last week. The rookie figures to be 2nd in line for carries behind RB Damien Harris but isn’t a viable Week 1 fantasy play.
Patriots TE Hunter Henry isn't listed on the Week 1 injury report. He missed all 3 preseason games with a shoulder injury but is ready to go for Sunday's opener vs. the Dolphins. Henry has TE1 potential this season but should be considered a TE2 in his New England debut.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson dislocated a thumb in practice last week, The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports. There's "some optimism" that the rookie will be able to play in Sunday's opener against the Dolphins, but we'll need to keep an eye on him over the next few days. Of course, Stevenson is just a bench stash in fantasy football right now. Damien Harris will operate as New England's lead back this weekend.
Patriots TE Hunter Henry expects to play in Sunday's opener against the Dolphins. The big free-agent acquisition missed about 2 weeks of practice -- and all 3 preseason games -- with a shoulder injury. That makes him tough to trust in Week 1 fantasy lineups. But we'll keep a close eye on his usage in what figures to be a TE-centric offense.
The Panthers have released K Joey Slye. No surprise there, as the team recently acquired K Ryan Santonso via trade. Slye, only 25, will likely resurface this season.
