I don't disagree. Torrential rain and wind would be the concern. Not just rain. If it wasn't a tropical storm remnant, I wouldn't have even shared the info.

Eric Berry doubtful for LAC game. An already rancid KC defense will be even more vulnerable. Hello, all noteworthy Chargers.

damn, I want to get him in my lineup but I can't make myself sit Alex Collins or Jordan Howard.

Maybe Howard? It's a .5 PPR league, but the volume he gets makes up for his lack of catching balls.

I've got Hyde going right now. Maybe he will see a ton of carries.

I wouldn't play him over those 2. I think that's more for the guys that went WR heavy early and are looking for which RBs to start. Collins has the best matchup of the week and Howard is pretty much an every week guy.

The 4 p.m. deadline today will come and go without Steelers' RB Le'Veon Bell reporting, per sources. Steelers are on their way to Cleveland and Bell is not with them. He will miss Sunday's game against Cleveland, along with the opportunity to earn $853,000. James Conner time.

The most annoying thing is his complete silence on the matter. He gains nothing by keeping everyone in the dark and the cryptic interviews from his agent. Why not just come out and say what his intention is?

Texans’ WR Will Fuller, listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, is unlikely to play today vs. Patriots, but he wants to test it pregame first before making final decision, per source.

James Conner is not Le'Veon Bell but he has converted 11 percent of his body fat to lean muscle (remember he's less than 3 years removed from cancer) and he has grown mentally in passing game enough that he has earned Big Ben's trust. #Steelers



this is good news for conner. He looked like a slow plodder last season.

He looked pretty good in preseason. We'll see if it translates. I believe the stat I heard was 4.2 yards after contact is what he averaged.
