The NFL, deciding that this Saturday was a little too slow for their liking, have decided to go all in on player fines. Next up is Derwin James, safety for the Los Angeles Chargers, who is the latest victim of the NFL’s fining spree, per Tom Pelissero. The NFL fined #Chargers safety Derwin James $43,710 for unnecessary roughness — a hit on #Lions WR Josh Reynolds last week. James is considered a repeat offender. — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 18, 2023 How Will This Impact The Los Angeles Chargers’ Defense? It will not. What Did Derwin James Do? Great question!…

Pat Freiermuth, the Pittsburgh Steelers tight end, who has over the past two years secured himself as a bona-fide top-10 tight end in the National Football League, has been out since Week 5 with a hamstring injury. However, per news from Underdog NFL, it looks like his injury absence may be coming to an end. Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) officially activated to 53-man roster. — Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) November 18, 2023 In a move the other way, the Steelers have also placed veteran safety/occasional linebacker Keanu Neal is moving to injured reserve with a rib injury.

D’Onta Foreman, the Chicago Bears veteran running back, who has played admirably well whilst holding down the fort for the Bears’ running game this season, has had his injury status confirmed amidst a nagging ankle injury, per Jeremy Fowler. #Bears RB D’Onta Foreman (questionable, ankle) is expected to play Sunday vs. Lions, per source.

The Chicago Bears will be bolstered by the return of first…

The Cincinnati Bengals’ franchise quarterback, Joe Burrow, was ruled out for the season with a sprained wrist, to the grave disappointment of the Bengals’ fandom, many of whom felt like the season was just getting back on track after a difficult 1-3 start. And now, after just shy of day of wondering who will take over the reigns in Burrow’s absence, it seems like we have an answer. From @NFLNetwork: The #Bengals have stuck with QB Jake Browning all season, and that’s their guy going forward. pic.twitter.com/21JdXpx61A — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 17, 2023 What Does This Means For The…

The Seattle Seahawks’ number 2 wide receiver, behind highly compensated stud DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, has been dealing with a hamstring issue for the past month. Now, upon being hopeful for a return to action in a road divisional face-off against the Los Angeles Rams, Lockett’s official injury designation has been confirmed. Tyler Lockett (hamstring) listed questionable for Week 11. — Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) November 17, 2023 What Does This Mean For The Seattle Seahawks The Seattle Seahawks already have a string of talented wide receivers in the room: the aforementioned DK Metcalf, impressive rookie Jaxon Smith Njigba, and undrafted…

Philadelphia Eagles 2nd year inside linebacker, Nakobe Dean, seems to be facing an extended layoff due to a foot injury, per the Philadelphia Eagles twitter account. We’ve placed LB Nakobe Dean on Injured Reserve. pic.twitter.com/QuJdbq7GJW — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) November 16, 2023 How This Impacts The Philadelphia Eagles’ Defense The Philadelphia Eagles, on paper, have one of the superior defences in the NFL. However, in practice, they seem to be more middle-of-the-pack: they rank 14th in total yards and 27th in defensive DVOA. With strength on the defensive line – particularly rookie 1st round sensation, Jalen Carter but injuries obliterating…

Miami Dolphins running back, De’Von Achane, who wowed with star performances earlier in the season against Denver Broncos, New York Giants, and Buffalo Bills, has been out with a knee injury since Week 5, and having been on track to return soon, it looks like his return date has now been set, per Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz. Sources to @BleacherReport: #Dolphins RB De’Von Achane (knee) will return Week 11 vs the #Raiders, barring a setback, in what’s become a critical AFC showdown. In just four games this season, the rookie has 460 rushing yards and 7 TDs, while averaging an…

After last week’s competitive, but ultimately unsuccessful home outing against the red-hot Detroit Lions (words I never thought I would ever write – or utter), the Los Angeles Chargers, and head coach, Brandon Staley, have been searching for solutions. Their prime, top-10 quarterback, Justin Herbert, played lights out against a Detroit Lions defence that ranks 9th in defensive DVOA. He threw for 323 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 interception, all for the highly impressive quarterback rating of 114.9. However, despite having spent some of the most money by any team in the NFL on the defensive side of the ball,…

Nico Collins, currently the WR1 for the Houston Texans (and quite possibly your fantasy team), has had his game status revealed for this Sunday hosting the Arizona Cardinals, per Underdog NFL: Report: Nico Collins (calf) said he’s playing Week 11. — Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) November 15, 2023 What This Means For The Houston Texans The Houston Texans are playing dynamic football right now, to the extent that the team has not seen since Bill O’Brien was head coach (and general manager!!). Much of this is down to the top-drawer rookie quarterback and coach combination of suddenly MVP-calibre C.J. Stroud and…

The Baltimore Ravens succumbed to a moderately embarrassing fourth quarter comeback against the Cleveland Browns in Week 10, allowing struggling former Pro Bowler, Deshaun Watson, to go 14/14 in the second half of the divisional game in Baltimore. Now, this week, their attempt to get back on track of what has overwhelmingly been a successful season for the 7-3 team at the head of the notoriously competitive AFC North, will be hampered by an injury to one of the team’s best and most reliable players: Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley (knee) listed out for Thursday. — Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) November 15,…
