Raiders make it official: Antonio Brown will play Week 1

Sep 06, 2019

Speaking to the media Friday, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said Antonio Brown will play Monday night against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact:

That should, hopefully, end the speculation surrounding the wide receiver. He may not have practiced or played much, so he is certainly boon or bust, but the talent alone likely makes him worthy of a Week 1 start. But as previously noted, keep your flex options opens in case you have a more favorable matchup or one you simply feel more comfortable rolling with.

Amongst those players placed on the PUP list today:
* Patriots OT Trent Brown and OLB Kyle Van Noy
* Washington WR Curtis Samuel
* Packers LT David Bakhtiari
* Chiefs OL Kyle Long

Fantasy Impact:

There's still plenty of time for Curtis Samuel to heal from his groin twinge, but it would be helpful for him to get in as many reps as he can with his new offense. Samuel is currently ranked as 4for4's WR30 in half-PPR formats and can come off the list at any time.

Logan Thomas signs three-year extension with Washington

The Washington Football Team has agreed to terms on a three-year extension for TE Logan Thomas, sources say. After a breakout year in 2020 with 72 catches, the former QB who made a successful position switch gets paid.

Fantasy Impact:

Logan Thomas had a breakout year in 2020, ending as TE9 in half-PPR points per game. He may see less work this season with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center but is still in the starting TE conversations as 4for4's 12th ranked at the position.

Texans willling to trade Deshaun Watson for high price

The #Texans are now willing to listen — and have been for some time — to trade offers for star QB Deshaun Watson, multiple sources tell me and @RapSheet. But the price is high for a player of his caliber, and should be. It’d likely take at least three first-round picks and more.

Fantasy Impact:

After months of denying trade talks, we finally have some action from the Texans. Miami, Denver, and Philly have reported interest in Deshaun Watson, but it's still unclear what the NFL will do for any disciplinary action on his pending legal situation.
