"" will kick off at its usual time to begin Week 5 with a matchup of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears, now with increased TV viewing options.

The 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff will now include a simulcast of NFL Network with cable network Fox through Week 16. That means you can po sibly watch Tom Brady's first prime-time game with the Bucs on two channels of your television at once. He' Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey ll be opposed by Nick Foles, who took over for Mitchell Trubisky in Chicago Mathew Barzal Jersey and makes this a Super Bowl LII rematch.

MORE:

Both teams enter Thursday night's game at 3-1, although moving in opposite directions. Tampa Bay has won its last three contests after losing in its opener against the Saints. On the other side, the Bears' switch to Nick Foles worked in a Week 3 comeback to move to 3-0, but then he struggled in Week 4 in Chicago's first lo s of the season. After acquiring Foles in the offseason, the Bears should stick with him for a while even coming off that first defeat.

Brady could find throwing a bit difficult against the Bears, who have given up ample yardage but have been stingy in the red zone, allowing only three pa sing touchdowns through four weeks. Foles could again find up-hill sledding against Tampa Bay's defense, which MacKenzie Weegar Jersey is one of the league's most underrated units.

The Patriots and Giants delivered a characteristically Thursday night game Thursday night, with six turnovers, three touchdowns on defense or special teams and a 21-point margin of victory.

An uneven start by the New England offense allowed New York to remain in striking distance into the second half, but the Patriots' ferocious defense didn't Bobby Hull Jersey allow the Giants to entertain hopes of a late-game comeback, sealing a 35-14 win by not allowing a point after halftime.

The first points of the night came on a blocked punt returned for a touchdown late in the first quarter. Patriots running back Brandon Bolden got into the backfield to deflect the kickand linebacker Chase Winovich caught the ball in the air. Winovichthen walked in for an 6-yard score. New England (6-0) later capitalized on one of quarterback Daniel Jones' three interceptions to go up 14-0, taking over in the red zone and scoring five plays later.

The Giants (2-4) erased that deficit in le s than 90 seconds. After a 64-yard touchdown pa s from Brown to wide receiver Golden Tate, linebacker Lorenzo Carter knocked the ball away from Pats quarterback Tom Brady, and linebacker Markus Golden turned it into a 42-yard scoop-and-score with 4:38 to play before halftime.

David Backes Jersey

Brady responded with an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to regain the lead with 36 seconds to spare. Brady didn't throw for a touchdown Thursday, but he scored on a pair of short runs to go with 334 yards on 31-for-41 pa sing.

The Giants drove to the Patriots' 30-yard line on the first drive of the second half, but another Jones interception ended the drive.

Jones and the offense mi sing its two best running backs and a tight end had two more po se sions while trailing by a touchdown, but squandered both of them. Jones finished 15 for 31 through the air for 161 yards, with the three interceptions and one touchdown.

Facing a third-and-9 midway through the fourth quarter, the Giants called a screen pa s to running back Tyler Bertuzzi Jersey Jon Hilliman. He didn't get back to the line of scrimmage before being met by Jamie Collins and fumbling. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy picked up the ball up and returned it 22 yards for a touchdown that made it 28-14 with 8:33 to play.

After another New York punt, the Patriots put the game away with a 63-yard touchdown drive.

New England's defense allowed just 213 yards and forced four turnovers, keeping the Patriots undefeated.

When it comes to operatic offense, it doesn't get much better than the best wide receivers in the NFL. In 2019, there has beena little more drama than usual off the field, as two of the position's most popular superstars in blockbuster trades.

The wideouts who made the cut inourtop 25 for 2019 all bring the nece sary physical gifts size, speed, quickne s, hands, route-running to linger in the offseason nightmares of cover men around the league.But each dynamo alsohas a unique trait that makes him special.

MORE 2019 NFL RANKINGS: | |

These rankings consider where theplayers finished last seasonwith a lean towardwhat they can do James Van Jersey in 2019, either in familiar situations or new ones.

Without further ado, they all deserve a warm reception.

NFL's top 25 wide receivers1.DeAndre Hopkins, Texans

Fantasy football players know this: Hopkins does nothave bad games. He has either spectacular games or very good games. He is a complete, smooth target and has become only more locked in with a quarterback, Deshaun Watson, who consistently knows where and when to find him open which is everywhere and most of the time. A Billy Smith Jersey lot more Nuk, please.

2.Julio Jones, Falcons

Jones has led the league in receiving yards per game inthree of the past four seasons. He is evenmore monstrous whenMatt Ryan is playing at an MVP level and Calvin Ridley is with him asa legitimate rising No. 2. And people can stop saying"he doesn't score" after he had eighttouchdownsin Atlanta'sfinal ninegames last season.

3.Michael Thomas, Saints

"Can't guard Mike" is an appropriate Twitter handle. He isthe most dangerous all-around receiver Drew Brees has ever had, and he led the NFL with 125 receptions last season. He doesn't need go deep to make a big impact, as he catches everything for bigyardageall over the field. At 6-3, 212 pounds, Thomas isthe ultimatepo se sional mismatch.

4.Odell Beckham Jr., Browns

He is"only" fourth because he hasmi sed a full season's worth of games over the past two years, while the trio above isdurable. Beckham should go back to making more explosive plays downfield and scoring more Colton Sceviour Jersey consistently with a QB upgrade to Baker Mayfileldand with Jarvis Landryeasingthe coverage attention. OBJ should also be motivated to make the Giants look bad and challenge for the top spot in these rankings for2020.

5.Antonio Brown, Raiders

Brown hasn'texperienced any kind of drop-off from his tremendous six-year run of Canton-clinching play in Pittsburgh, but he is entering his age-31 season with a rebuilding offense led by a le ser QB in Oakland. Brown has enough elite equityfor one togive him the benefit of the doubt after he scored aleague-high 15 TDs last year, but he isnolonger better than the rest of the best.

6.Keenan Allen, Chargers

Allen, even this high, remainsunderrated because he isnot flashy and plays on the NFL's Left Coast. But he isan effective,efficient route-running machine who racks upcatches incritical situations for Philip Rivers. File Allen a notch belowThomas in the super-reliable po se sion category.

7.Davante Adams, Packers

Adams has caught 35 TD pa ses over the past three seasons and is coming off a career-high 111 catches for 1,386 yards, cementing his status as a true No. 1. Aaron Rodgers in a Matt LaFleur offense will bode well for Adams' momentum of production.

8.JuJu Smith-Schuster, Steelers

At only 22, Smith-Schusterhas alreadyput up twostellar seasons, including 111 catches for 1,426 yards and sevenTDs a sensational sophomore. He has dominated with both shorter and deeper routes out of the slot, and with Brown gone, he now gets a chance to line up in more places to make big plays for Pittsburgh.

9.A.J. Green, Bengals

Green turns 31 in July, and two of his past three seasons have been marred by injury. But at 6-4, 210 pounds, the future Hall of Famer still MacKenzie Weegar Jersey has enough speed and quickne s left to get rejuvenated in Zac Taylor's pa sing offense, especially a with new established No. 2 in Tyler Boyd.

10.Adam Thielen, Vikings

Thielen has gone from undrafted free agent to indispensable target with his ability to use his size, hands and precision routes to win most battles in the middle of the field. His 100-yard receiving streak in the first half of last seasonwas incredible, and it led to hisdemanding top coverage down the stretch.

MORE:

11. Stefon Diggs, Vikings

With the Vikings having some pa s protection i sues in front of Kirk Cousins, Diggs had to be more of a shorter-route receiver last season, with his 102 receptions adding up to 1,021 yards and nineTDs. His speed and downfield flair should comeinto play more often during his age-26 season.

12.T.Y. Hilton, Colts

Hilton is still looking for his first season of 100 receptions or more, but he iscoming off what was arguably his best seasonthanks to a Frank Reich offense tailored to push the ball downfield now that the Colts have a line that can giveAndrew Luck more time. Hilton'szip and elusivene s to get deephas led to hisaveraging 16 yards per catch.

13.Mike Evans, Buccaneers

The knock on Evans used to behis drops, with acatch Andrey Pedan Jersey rate that was justabove 50 percent. But he changed that narrative a little last season whilecatching 62.3 percent of his targets (86 of 138), leading to a career-high 1,524 receiving yards with Jameis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick. His 17.7 yards per catch is in line withBruce Arians' offense, which aimsto stretch the field better with Winston's big arm.

14.Julian Edelman, Patriots

Edelman celebrated hisbirthday (33) early with a two-year, $18 million contract extension. He is in impeccable shapeand has a few more years left to be Tom Brady's most valuable target. Calling him a "slot machine" is underselling how he can use his quick, 5-10,198-pound frame to get open everywhere. He isalso the pound-for-poundtoughest receiver in the NFL.

15.Robert Woods, Rams

The Rams have the best wideout trio Auston Matthews Jersey the league, and Woods stands out from the other two. Heis atechnician with his routes and hands, and he is well-rounded with both po se sion and field-stretching qualities. Beyond his 86 catches for 1,219 yards and sixTDs last season, he also rushed for157 yards and a TD. He isthe modern Swi s Army knife receiver for Sean McVay.

16.Tyler Boyd, Bengals

Boyd needed a few years to put it all together, but he found his niche dominating from the slot last season. He had an exceptional catch rate in only 14 games, posting 76 catches from108 targets for 1,028 yards and sevenTDs. Like Green, his versatility and quickne s will be deployed in the right wayby Taylor.

17.Tyler Lockett, Seahawks

With Doug Baldwin gone, Lockett takes over as Ru sell Wilson'sgo-to guy and a busier slot option. Last season, he caught only 57 balls (from 70 targets) but maximized his impact with 965 yards and 10 TDs. His 16.9 yards per catch served asa reminder that he can flat-out fly, but healso has learned how to better use his smarts and agility to win on all routes against any coverage.

18.Jarvis Landry, Browns

Landry has seen his volume ofreceptions and yards drop over the past two seasons, but the scrappy slot man is positioned to find his 2015 form with Beckham now complementing him on the outside. His signature is his Patrice Bergeron Jersey quickne s inside toget Miles Wood Jersey open in a hurry.

19.Amari Cooper, Cowboys

He was fading in the Raiders' offense until he was saved with the tradeto Dallas, where Dak Prescott didn't waste time in dealing to him. Cooper'shalf-season of Pro Bowl work with the Cowboys 53 catches, 725 yards, 6TDs reestablished him as the No. 1 he was supposed to be when he wasdraftedNo. 4 overall in 2015. At 6-1, 210 pounds and set to turn only 25 in June, Cooper will soon be locked in as a well-paid Cowboy for the long term.

20.Mike Williams, Chargers

Williams got it going with limited looks in Year 2 (43 catches for 664 yards and 10 TDs) after an injury-riddled rookie season. He is nowthe clear No. 2 to Allen with the team choosing not to re-sign Tyrell Williams. Mike Williams, the No. 7 overall pick from Clemson in 2017, hinted he will play up to that level with a much bigger opportunity. At 6-4, 220 pounds, he isn't going away as a force in the red zone.

MORE:

21.Brandin Cooks, Rams

Cooks has managed to post three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons on three differentteams, no easy feat in this era of complicated pa sing offenses. His speed and quickne s to stretch the field before and after the catch are his trademarks.

22.Kenny Golladay, Lions

Golladay (6-4, 213 pounds) fit the physical profile of a No. 1 receiver when the Lions stole him in the third round in 2017. He isready for his truebreakout in a key Year 3 after catching 70 of 119 targets for 1,063 yards and fiveTDs last season.

23.Chris Godwin, Buccaneers

Here isanother high-upside third-rounder from Golladay's cla s. Arians and the Bucs' new offensive coaching staff can'twait to deploy Godwin outside and inside Matthew Tkachuk Jersey , consistently getting favorable matchups while playing off Evans. With DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries gone, Godwin will see a significantjump in vacated-target production from his 59 catches for 742 yards and fiveTDs.

24. D.J. Moore, Panthers

Moore was the No. 24 overall pick in the 2018 draft, and he isabout to live up tobeing the first wideout taken in the cla s, ahead of a talented group that includes Ridley, Courtland Sutton, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk, Anthony Miller and Michael Gallup. Moore is the prototypical fast, explosiveplaymaker meant to light it up in a Norv Turner offense with Cam Newton's big arm. His 55 catches for 788 yards was only a smallappetizer for how he will eat up slower cornerbacks.

25.Cooper Kupp, Rams

The Rams needKupptocomeback strong from his torn ACL, as they mi sed his presence in Super Bowl 53. Projected over 16 games, Kupp'shalf-season last year would have produced 80 catches for 1,132 yards and 12 TDs. He isthe glue of the Rams' receiving corps given hischemistry with Jared Goff, and he takes full advantage of his high football IQ to getopen Ryan Kesler Jersey in the right spots.

The Cincinnati Bengals meet the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game on Sunday.

Game time is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Arrowhead Stadium. The game will be televised on CBS and streamed on Paramount.

Cincinnati is making its first AFC championship appearance since 1988.

The Bengals beat Tenne see 19-16 in the AFC divisional round on a last-second field goal by Evan McPherson. Second-year quarterback Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase torched the Chiefs' secondary in the regular-season matchup, which the Bengals won 34-31. Luca Sbisa Jersey Third-year coach Zac Taylor is on a roll.

The Chiefs are back in the AFC championship game after a thrilling 42-36 overtime victory against Buffalo. Patrick Mahomes Chris Kunitz Jersey and Andy Reid can lead Kansas City to its third straight Super Bowl appearance, and the home-field advantage will be tested against an upset-minded team. Safety Tyrann Mathieu is in concu sion protocol, and that's an injury worth monitoring during the week.

This might be the early matchup, but it could easily be the more-entertaining game. Here's everything to know about betting on Bengals vs. Chiefs in the 2022 NFL playoffs, including updated odds, trends and our prediction for the AFC championship game:

MORE NFL PICKS: |

Chiefs vs. Bengals odds for AFC championship gameSpread: Chiefs -7Over/under: 54.5Moneyline: Michael Raffl Jersey Chiefs -340, Bengals +275

The line seems a tough high knowing the Bengals had no problems carving up Kansas City in the first meeting and Mathieu could be out. The over is an interesting play knowing the Chiefs' last seven games have hit the over. The Bengals' last three games have hit the under.

(betting odds per FanDuel Sportsbook)

Chiefs vs. Bengals all-time series

The Chiefs are making their fifth AFC championship since the AFL merger. They are 2-2 in the game since 1970. Cincinnati is 2-0 in its previous AFC championship games. The Bengals lead the all-time series 16-14 and are 7-9 at Arrowhead Stadium.

Three trends to know

Cincinnati is 7-3 ATS and 6-4 S/U as an underdog this season. The Bengals have won S/U in Burrow's last five starts, including the playoff victories against Las Vegas and Tenne see.

The Chiefs are 9-2 Ales Hemsky Jersey S/U at home including playoffs this season. Kansas City failed to cover in its first five home games this year, but the Chiefs have covered in each of their last six home games.

The Chiefs are 7-1 S/U in home playoff games with Mahomes at quarterback. Burrow, however, led the Bengals to their first road playoff victory in franchise history last week.

Three things to watchBurrow to Chase

How Henri Richard Jersey will Kansas City's secondary adjust? Burrow pa sed for 446 yards and four TDs in the last meeting, and Chase had 11 catches for 266 yards and three TDs. Burrow and Chase connected for four connections of 30 yards or more, and this is the same Chiefs' secondary that Josh Allen and Gabriel Davis torched last week. If Mathieu is out, that makes that challenge even more difficult. Of course, Cincinnati did allow nine sacks last week and Chris Jones had two sacks in Week 17. Expect Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spanuolo to turn up the pre MacKenzie Weegar Jersey sure, especially in the first half.

CEH and McKinnon

CEH didn't play in the first meeting, and he had nine carries for 60 yards against Buffalo last week. Burrow knows the value of Edwards-Helaire from the LSU days, and he could be more involved in the game plan against Cincinnati. Veteran running back Jerick McKinnon also has been active in two postseason games. He has 33 offensive touches for 220 yards between the run and pa s game.Kansas City averaged 6.7 yards per carry in the first meeting, and those running backs can pull Cincinnati's linebackers and safeties into space. That would open the offense up for Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, who combined for 11 catches for 65 yards in the first meeting. The Bengals' back seven held up against Kansas Mike Bossy Jersey City's playmakers. Will that change that dynamic?

Clutch kickers

It doesn't hurt to have a kicker in the clutch. McPherson is 8 of 8 on field goals in the postseason, including 4 of 4 from 40 yards or more. Kansas City's Harrison Butker hit 3 of 4 field goals against Buffalo, including Bernie Parent Jersey the game-tying kick at the end of regulation. Sunday's forecast calls for even temperatures in the 40s and winds that will be lower than 10 miles per hour. A long field goal shouldn't be a problem. Both kickers are huge a sets in a game like this.

Stat that matters

Mahomes averages 318.8 yards, with 23 TDs and one interception in eight home playoff games at Arrowhead Stadium. He's been unstoppable in that environment, with the lone lo s a shootout with Tom Brady in the 2018-19 AFC championship game. That is the most-significant challenge for the Bengals on defense. How do you stop Mahomes at home? Mahomes and Burrow are capable of putting on a show in the final two minutes, too, but the Chiefs proved last week that you really can't leave any time on the clock.

Chiefs vs. Bengalsprediction

The Bengals did an outstanding job of limiting Kansas City's big plays in the first meeting. That has to be the case again Anthony Cirelli Jersey , because Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense feasts on those at Arrowhead Stadium. Burrow won't be afraid of that spotlight, and the connection to Chase will work again. It won't be surprising if Dustin Byfuglien Jersey the Bengals lead at halftime, but Mahomes will put the pre sure on Cincinnati's defense in the second half, and Edwards-Helaire will unlock the big plays for Kelce and Hill. The Bengals, like so many other AFC teams, offer a tough challenge. Kansas City closes, however, po sibly with a last-second field goal by Butker for the victory.

Score: Chiefs 31, Bengals 28

It seems likeevery Thanksgiving, America is forced to digest butt fumbles, bad coin to ses and bonehead blocked field-goal recoveries, not to mention Lions games.

But over the decades, plenty of players have achieved brilliance instead of infamy.

Here are the 15 greatest NFL Thanksgiving game performances ever.

MORE:

1. Peyton Manning, QB, Colts (vs. Lions, 2004)

This game all but a suredhed break Dan Marinos single-season touchdown pa srecord of 48; he finished the game with 41, with five games left, and ended up DeAndre Hopkins Youth Jersey with 49. Manning did it in three quarters, too, throwing his first three to Brandon Stokley and the last three to Marvin Harrison.

It was aslopsided a Thanksgiving game as theres ever been, 41-9 and on the day Barry Sanders received Austin Jackson Jersey his Hall of Fame ring.

2. O.J. Simpson, RB, Bills (vs. Lions, 1976)

Simpson kept the national TV audience tuned in long after his Bills were out of it against the Lions. Detroit cruised to a 27-14 win, but O.J. rushed for a then-single-game record 273 yards, breaking his own record of 250 set three years earlier during his 2,000-yard season.

Walter Payton surpa sed that a year later, but no one topped either of them until 2000.

3. Randy Mo s, WR, Vikings (vs. Cowboys, 1998)

One of the all-time best revenge games, Mo s got back at the Cowboys for pa sing him over in that years draft. The rookie caught three pa ses all touchdowns of 50-plus yards, including a flea-flicker two minutes into the game and one bomb while he was being interfered with.

The Vikings won 46-36 and wound up one mi sed field goal away from the Super Bowl.

4. Barry Sanders, RB, Lions (vs. Bears, 1997)

Jalen Hurd Men Jersey The annual Thanksgiving appetizer for a decade, Sanders' best show was this one: 167 yards and three touchdowns, including a 40-yarder, and humiliation of Bears defenders on virtually every carry.

The Lions won 55-20, Sanders moved into second on the all-time rushing list and retired after the next season, still No. 2.

5. Tom Brady, QB Patriots (vs. Lions, 2010)

You knew Brady would makethis list. He turned Detroit's defense into hopele s turkeys in a matchup of two teams going in completely different directions. In New England's 45-24 victory, Brady posted a perfect 158.3 pa ser rating by completing 21 of 27 pa s attempts for 341 yards and 4 TDs, a pair each to Wes Welker and John Franklin-Myers Jersey Deion Branch.

6. Emmitt Smith, RB, Cowboys (vs. Redskins, 2002)

Smith, a Thanksgiving staple like Sanders for more than a decade, was coming to the end of his days in Dallas; the Cowboys would cut him at the end of the season. It was his last game against their rival, Chad Hutchinson was the quarterbackand the opposing coach was Steve Spurrier, in his first year.

Smith rushed for 144 yards, only his second 100-yard game all season, tied for second in all-time 100-yard games behind Walter Payton, and the Cowboys won 27-20.

7. Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys (vs. Buccaneers, 2006)

TheCowboys knew they had something special in the undrafted Romo pretty quickly in his first half-season as a starter. In only his sixth Jadeveon Clowney Men Jersey career start, Romo ripped Tampa Bay's defense in a 38-10 rout.

Romo had the first of two five-TD games in his career, going 22-of-29 for 306 yards. Two went to the late Terry Glenn, two to Marion Barber III and the last one, of course, to Terrell Owens.

8. Robert Griffin III, QB, Redskins (vs. Cowboys, 2012)

Just two weeks before this game, Mike Shanahan had all but called Washington Miles Boykin Jersey s season over at 3-6. The rookie Griffin was making a virtual homecoming while trying to keep hope alive.

It sprang to life unexpectedly.Griffinthrew three of his four touchdown pa ses in a 28-0 stampede in the second quarter andhelped hold off a furious Cowboys comeback. Washingtonwon 38-31, the second win in the season-ending, seven-game streak that got them the NFC East title.

9-10. Matthew Stafford, QB, and Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions (vs. Eagles, 2015) Markus Golden Men Jersey

This would mark the last timeStaff and Megatron would celebrate Thanksgiving in FordField together, and they ended with a bang in Detroit's 45-14 rout of Philadelphia.

Stafford ripped the Eagles for 337 yards and 5 TDs, with Johnson accounting for 93 receiving yards and 3 of those TDs. With it, Johnson for most receiving TDs (10) in Thanksgiving history.

11. Bob Griese, QB Dolphins (vs. Cardinals, 1977)

How can a six-touchdown day on Thanksgiving be so forgotten over time? It was arare holiday game in St. Louis, back when there was a move to stop Dallas from monopolizing the day. Griese threw all six in three quarters, on just 23 attempts, and the Dolphins blew the Cards out, 55-14.

Dallas has hosted a Thanksgiving game every year since; only Manning has thrown for as many touchdowns on the day.

12. Roger Brown, DE, Lions (vs. Packers, 1962)

Not so much the historicallyoverlooked Brown, but the entire Jordan Howard Men Jersey line, the Fearsome Foursome"before the Rams bogarted the nickname. Brown, Alex Karras, Sam Williams and Darris McCord led a Lions defense that sacked Bart Starr 11 times, including once for a safety, as Detroit whipped Vince Lombardis 10-0 defending-champion Packers, 26-14. Brown was in on seven of the sacks.

13. Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers (vs. Colts, 2016)

Brown was the latest entry here with his explosion in Pittsburgh's 28-7 romp in Indianapolis on Thanksgiving night. The Colts had no answers for him in scoring position, as his 5 catches for 91 yards included touchdownsof 25, 33 and 22 yards.

14. Clint Longley, QB, Cowboys (vs. Redskins, 1974)

Even after 43 years, no Thanksgiving performance has packed more shock value. At the height of the Cowboys-Redskinsrivalry, Washington knocked Roger Staubach Dontari Poe Women Jersey out of the game with a third-quarter concu sion, forcing Dallas to go to the rookie Longley, trailing 16-3.

He threw three touchdown pa ses, including the 50-yarder to Drew Pearson with 28 seconds left that won it for the Cowboys, 24-23.

15. Jason Garrett, QB, Adoree' Jackson Jersey Cowboys (vs. Packers, 1994)

The third-stringer and future head coach replaced injured starter Troy Aikman and backup Rodney Peete, fell behind 17-3 in the first half, endured Brett Favre throwing four touchdown pa ses to Sterling Sharpe ...and won, 42-31.

The Cowboys scored 36 second-half points, and Garrett was 15-for-26 for 311 yards and two touchdowns. Before that, he had thrown 24 career NFL pa ses.

It's not a surprise to see A.J. Brown on the Titans' final injury report in any given week, but usually he Dallas Cowboys Women Jersey 's not viewed as truly "questionable." However, heading into Week 9's Sunday Night Football showdown with the Rams, Brown looks like a legit game-time decision, and Alex Mack Men Jersey his status will certainly cause a lot of start 'em, sit 'em headaches for his fantasy football owners. Knowing the latest updates will be key as you wait to put the finishing touches on your lineup and find out if Brown is playing.

Is A.J. Brown playing on Sunday night?

UPDATE:NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Brown is against the Rams.

UPDATE 2:Brown is officially ACTIVE.

Brown (knee) Danny Amendola Men Jersey this week, but a "DNP" on Friday has his status in question for Sunday night's game. A late-week dowgrade is always worrisome, but Brownreportedly didn't seem overly Mike Ditka Men Jersey concerned when he spoke with the media on Friday. Still, fantasy owners have to be prepared for Brown to be inactive on Sunday night.

WEEK 9 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | |

There aren't a lot of viable pivots if Brown is inactive. The best widely available option would be L.A.'s Van Jefferson, but you could also see if Chicago's Darnell Mooney (groin) is on the free agent wire in your league. Marshall Faulk Men Jersey Worst-case scenario, Mark Ingram Women Jersey you could try a Tenne see backup like Josh Reynolds or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and just hope for a touchdown. You could also go for Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth if you've left your flex spot open.

WEEK 9 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |

If Brown is active, he's a must-start. There are some minor worries about the injury and a po sible matchup with Jalen Ramsey, but Brown has proven he can produce against anyone. He's simply too good to Joe Greene Women Jersey sit, which is why we recommend waiting for him.That said, it's fair to expect a few more targets for Julio Jones, who's Jordan Poyer Men Jersey not even on the Titans' injury report after mi sing last week's game because of a sore hamstring.

Ken Carman (@KenCarman)

It's unclear why Brown and Thomas got into it, but Quinnen Williams Men Jersey Kitchens is in his first year Chicago Bears Polo as the team's head coach and likely was laying down the law to prohibit futuredistractions from occurring.

Kitchens was hired in January 2019 after beating out interim Browns coach Gregg Williams for the position. He Maurkice Pouncey Jersey was hired as the running backs coach last season, but after Cleveland fired then-head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, Kitchens Mike Edwards Jersey was promoted to offensive coordinator for the rest of 2018.

When the Chiefs ( Tyreek Hill Women Jersey 8-1) travel to take on the Raiders (6-3) in Las Vegas in the penultimate game of NFL Week 11 on "Sunday Night Football" (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC), they will be looking for revenge for their only lo s of the season: a 40-32 home lo s in Week 5.

If the Chiefs win, they will take a three-game lead in the AFC West with six games left an almost insurmountable division lead. The Raiders, with a series sweep, would tighten things up to two games with a head-to- Anthony Harris Jersey head tiebreaker.

That Week 5 lo s was Patrick Mahomes' worst as an NFL starting quarterback. Conversely, it was a big moment for counterpart Derek Carr.

Here's breaking down the rematch in prime time including betting information you need to know for the game:

The Chiefs opened as touchdown and extra-point favorites and went up to 8 points before Jerry Jeudy Men Jersey the half-point adjustment late in the week. The Raiders play on "SNF" at home for the Larry Csonka Women Jersey first time in Vegas, but they still won't have any fans to help them in a tough matchup.

Chiefs vs. Raiders all-time series

The Chiefs lead 67-54-52 in their history against the Raiders, including playoffs, over their time in Oakland, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Before the upset in Week 5, the Chiefs had won five straight, 10 of 11 and 12 of 14.

Three trends to know

Natrell Jamerson Men Jersey 67 percent of spread bettors like the Chiefs to cover after they failed to do so in the first meeting.

55 percent of over/under bettors like the game to go over the high point total with two talented offenses on the field and two sometimes very shaky defenses.

The Chiefs have covered in three of their past five games and the total has gone over in three. The Raiders have covered in four of their past five games and the total has gone over in three.

Three things to watch

Mahomes and the mistake Ryan Kelly Jersey

Mahomes threw his only interception of the season against the Raiders in Week 5. It cost the Chiefs a chance of winning the game and a potentially perfect season. Mahomes has destroyed the defenses of the Jets and Panthers in consecutive games and will be laser-focused for another monster game.

A driven Carr

Carr played very well in the first meeting, and he's having his best NFL season with a 107.4 pa ser rating at 8.4 adjusted yards per attempt, both career highs. He's super efficient Mark Gastineau Jersey playing off the running game and needs to hit on a few big pa s plays to outduel Mahomes again.

Will the Chiefs choose to run?

The Raiders have the No. 13 run defense in the NFL. Taylor Moton Men Jersey They also have the No. 25 pa s defense in the NFL. Last time, they controlled the clock with the running game, finished with long touchdowns and limited Mahomes' chances. This time, the Chiefs could help out Mahomes by being more balanced with ball control of their own with Clyde Edwards- Randall Cunningham Youth Jersey Helaire and Le'Veon Bell.

Stat that matters

18-3. That's Chiefs coach Andy Reid's regular-season record when his team comes off a bye week. Reid is good at making adjustments during the extra time off and is particularly motivated to get the better of Jon Gruden after the Raiders" "victory lap" around Arrowhead Stadium postgame in Week 5.

Chiefs vs. Robby Anderson Women Jersey Raiders prediction

The Chiefs will play mistake-free football to match the Raiders' brand of it; this will come down to which quarterback makes more plays in second-half clutch situations. Mahomes will make up for the first game by letting it loose all over the field, while Carr's comeback attempt will fall short.

Chiefs 31, Raiders 27

The Dolphins and Steelers find themselves in similar situationsto start the 2019 season: in an 0-2 hole without a franchise quarterback.

In the wake of Ben Roethlisberger's season-ending elbow injury, which elevated second-year backup Mason Rudolph to the starting role, Pittsburghacquired disgruntled defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick from Miami to pad itssecondary. (The Corey Clement Jersey Steelers also got a fourth-round pick in 2020and aseventh-round pick in 2021.)

The Dolphinsreceived a first-round pick in next year's draft in addition to a 2020 fifth-rounderand a 2021 sixth-rounderin the deal to bolster their inevitablerebuild.

But what exactly is the plan Tony Fields II Jersey for the Dolphins? And why would theSteelers be willing to trade a valuable draft selection to save a season that's seemingly gone down the drain already?

Let's start in Miami, where the Dolphins have beenoutscored by a whopping 92 pointsthrough their first two games this season. Whilethere's got to be a light at the end of the tunnel, it's more KJ Hamler Jersey a question of how long it will take to get there.

The Dolphins now havefivefirst-round picks in the next two drafts, includingthree first-rounders in the 2020 draft, which alludes to the idea of the team tanking to better its draft position. With this season potentially lost, too,the Dolphinsmay look to take further advantage of their downward spiral but still wait until 2021 to make a move under center.

Then again, there's only Quincy Wilson Women Jersey so much the team can take with journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm. He has a plausibly reliable backup insecond-year quarterback Josh Rosen, the former 10th overall pick who saw limited action in Arizona before being replaced by rookie Kyler Murray.

Looking ahead, some sharp incoming prospects have NFL fans begging their teams to blow it Joe Burrow Jersey in order to snag talented quarterbacks like Oregon's Justin Herbert, Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts, Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa and Clemson's Trevor Lawrence.

But Miami's moves point beyond just high draft picks. By offloading left tackle Laremy Tunsil, receiver Kenny Stills and linebacker Kiko Alonso before they dealt Fitzpatrick this week, the Dolphins were shedding salary. All the transactions Vernon Hargreaves III Youth Jersey push them past $100 million in cap space for 2020. That's not just flexibility (shadowed by an upcoming new CBA).

It's a play to the future.

With the trade of Fitzpatrick to the Steelers official the Dolphins are now up to $55M in dead money this year and have the early lead in 2020 dead money at $11.9M. All the moves should have them over $110M in cap space next year

Which brings us toPittsburgh, where Roethlisberger has vowed to "come back stronger than ever next season" after undergoing surgery. Regardle s Jack Tatum Men Jersey of his recovery, the 37-year-old is unlikely to re-sign with the Steelers after getting a two-year contract extension this spring, so the team will need a succe sor soon.

Rudolph may be up for the challenge and has proven to be capable so far, and the team has the luxury of a season-long Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey look at Rudolph in the starring role. Still, Roethlisberger's injury is evidence that situationscan change in an instant, which could prompt Pittsburghto also gauge the 2021 draft Nick Foles Women Jersey for the next face of itsfranchise.

Then again, Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl at age 23 in second season with the Steelers, so it's not out of the question for Rudolph to do the same if his weapons in Vance McDonald, James Conner andJuJu Smith-Schuster can stay healthy.

Also, if an offense is uncertain, then adding a DB like 22-year-old Fitzpatrick, the No. 11 pick in the 2018 draft, can help Jerome Bettis Men Jersey a defense that seeks to takeover the team narrative.

It's too early in the season to tell how these tacticswill unfold, but we have a good idea of the direction they're headed.

Jared Goff was ticked off.

The breakup between the Rams and theirquarterbackwas public and a little nasty, with neither head coach Sean McVay nor general manager Les Snead committing to Goff as starter for 2021 after the conclusion of the 2020 NFL season. The team pivoted and traded Goff to the Lions for quarterback Matthew Stafford soon after.

Jalen Rose Jersey The team's cryptic statementson the status as Goff as a starter led to him seeing the writing on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jersey Sale wall, apparently. Goff said he'll always take pride in bringing LA football back to prominence, but welcomed a new opportunity.

"As the quarterback, as the guy that's at arguably the most important position on the field, if you're in a place that you're Udonis Haslem Jersey not wanted and they want to move on from you, the Xavier Sneed Jersey feeling's mutual," Goff said."You don't want to be in the wrong place. It became increasingly clear that was the case.

"You start to feel, I don't want to say 'relief'is the word, but you start to feel happy, grateful, ready for a new opportunity. That's the biggest feeling that I John Wangler Jersey was overcome with that night, and even in the days following."

While the Rams made a Super Bowl with Goff under center, the quarterback's regre sion since Colin Castleton Jersey then and the contract Los Angeles signed him to put the team in a precarious position. Goff has Will Grier Jersey more turnovers than any QB over the past three years, with 55 interceptions and fumbles lost.

According to reports, Goff, two future first-round picks and a 2021 third-round pickwere Nathan Mensah Jersey shipped to Detroit for Stafford, a pretty hefty price to pay. The deal can't become official until the start of the new league year on March 17.

Goff, just 26, gets a fresh start in the Motor Michael Savarino Jersey City and has pretty big shoes to fill at quarterback. Let's hope, for his sake, the team and the city embracehim.
