Rotoworld Player News

All Player News
  • ATL Defensive Tackle #95
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    The deal includes $46.5 million guaranteed. The Bears traded Dexter to Atlanta after an offseason of unproductive contract discussions. A new deal was always the most likely outcome when the Falcons acquired him. Dexter only has .5 sacks through three weeks, but he ranks second among defensive linemen in pressures at 14. Pro Football Focus has him charted with the highest pass-rush win rate among defensive linemen. Dexter is now under contract through the 2030 season.
  • SEA Running Back #26
    The fact that this is even being considered is good news. Rookie RB Jadarian Price has not yet carved out a featured role for himself, so Charbonnet could feasibly return to his 2025 role—or more. If available, he is probably worth stashing in 12-team leagues at this time.
  • DEN Wide Receiver #17
    Waddle was spotted in a boot after Week 3’s win over the Rams. DNVR’s Zac Stevens reported at the time that he was fine and can comfortably take a victory lap now that Payton has said he practiced in full. Waddle posted a dud in Week 3 with two catches for 10 yards, but he ripped off 138 yards the week before that. The production might come in peaks and valleys, but fantasy managers should hold the line and treat him like a WR2 for a potential shootout with the 49ers this week.
  • LA Wide Receiver #12
    McVay also said that Nacua will be limited at today’s practice. Nacua has not played since injuring his groin in Week 1 against the 49ers. If active in Week 4, he will be a no-brainer WR1, though it would be great to see him log two full practice sessions over the next two days. The Rams’ pass-catching corps has dealt with an influx of injuries in recent weeks. Getting their star player back would be huge.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Head coach Jesse Minter said after practice that Jackson was dealing with “something small.” Both his comments and the limited status suggest this is nothing more than a minor issue, though a full practice tomorrow would undoubtedly ease the minds of Ravens fans and fantasy managers. Barring a setback, Jackson will remain a top-end QB1 for his Week 4 date with the Titans.
  • PIT Running Back #13
    Dowdle did not practice once this week before being ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Browns. The mini-bye ahead of Week 5 may help him get back on the field, but his status for next week’s contest is very much up in the air. Jaylen Warren will see the bulk of the backfield work versus Cleveland. he ran 17 times and caught three passes in Week 3. With an elite workload versus a middling Cleveland defense, Warren is a high-end RB2 this week.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    Jefferson seemingly has a chance to face the Dolphins in Week 4, but his participation level at Thursday and Friday’s practices should give us a better sense of his availability. If active against the Dolphins, Jefferson would be startable as a WR1 despite the injury. He caught 2-of-2 targets for 32 yards on seven snaps last week before exiting.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported over the weekend that Collins had a “decent chance” to return in Week 4. Even a limited practice today is a big step in the right direction. The winless Texans desperately need a playmaker on offense and Collins is their only option. While he could be on a pitch count in his first game back, Collins has to be in fantasy lineups the moment he is cleared to play.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Hensley noted that Jackson spoke to the media before practice and talked as if he was good to go for Week 4, so this might be nothing. Jackson threw a dart to Zay Flowers on the Ravens’ final offensive play of Week 3, so he appeared fine the last time he was on the field. We will get more info when the team’s first injury report of the week drops later today. Tyler Huntley is Baltimore’s backup.
  • GB Wide Receiver #11
    Reed suffered the neck injury in Week 1. The injury-plagued wideout will miss the rest of the year and could have a long way back to full health. It’s a difficult situation for a talented pass catcher. Reed’s absence has meant more snaps and routes for Tucker Kraft, who profiles as a top-12 tight end going forward.
