Michael Carter Worth Stashing, Not Starting Versus Panthers

New York Jets running back Michael Carter will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the lead back, while Ty Johnson figures to do most of the receiving work. It'll be interesting […]

Ty Johnson Not Trustworthy For Week 1

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson appears to be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the starter, while Johnson and Michael Carter should get involved as well. Johnson finished with 254 yards on the ground and 99 yards through the air in limited action last […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Tevin Coleman Named Lead Back For Opener

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was recently named the lead back for their matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee with Ty Johnson and rookie Michael Carter. None of these backs were able to separate themselves during the preseason. It's likely going to […]

Keelan Cole Banged Up For Opener

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for their Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are already going to be without veteran wideout Jamison Crowder due to COVID-19. Now, Cole will need to have his status monitored up to kickoff. Right now, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore […]

Jonnu Smith Has Tough Matchup In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith will not have an easy challenge to open the season. He'll get the Miami Dolphins defense that allowed seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Smith is coming off career highs with 448 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Although, he should be viewed as a high-end […]

Hunter Henry A TE2 For Week 1

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry will not open the season with a favorable matchup. He gets a Miami Dolphins defense that allowed the seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Henry finished with 60 receptions, 613 yards, and four touchdowns in 2020. He is a capable option at tight end, but […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Not An Ideal Option For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will be making his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He was a fourth round pick of New England during this year's draft. Stevenson was impressive in camp and likely earned himself a legitimate role in the backfield this season. However, he'll draw a tough […]

Kendrick Bourne A Sneaky PPR Choice

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne could find himself with intriguing value heading into Week 1. The Patriots could be without starting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (shoulder) for their matchup with the Miami Dolphins. That means, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne should be asked to pick up the slack. Last season, Bourne finished with […]

Jakobi Meyers Is A Intriguing PPR Option For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was one of the few bright spots for this offense last season. He finished with 59 receptions and 729 yards in 14 games (nine starts) with New England last season. Meyers averaged 7.3 targets per game over his last 11 outings of 2020. He'll get a Miami Dolphins […]

James White Has Lousy Week 1 Matchup

New England Patriots running back James White was not effective in the passing game last season. Despite having Cam Newton behind center, New England couldn't find a way to get White the ball. He finished with 375 yard through the air, which was his lowest since the 2015 season. White will begin the season with […]

Gabriel Davis Could See Increased Action

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis is currently projected to be the No. 4 option at wideout. That being said, there isn't a ton of appeal for Davis in most 12-team standard leagues. However, he could quickly become someone worth stashing. Veteran wideout Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the […]

Dominic Leone Named Opener On Friday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Dominic Leone has been named the opener for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It sounds like the Giants are going bullpen game here, which could honestly work versus this below average lineup. Leone has been excellent, posting a 1.55 ERA and 38/20 K/BB ratio over 40 2/3 innings this […]

Stephen Vogt To Injured List, William Contreras Recalled

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He put together a two-homer game on Thursday. Sadly, he exited in the middle of the game due to a hip issue. The team is going to play it safe with their veteran catcher. He'll be placed on the injured list, […]

Alex Wood Played Catch On Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Wood recently played catch while he's working his way back from COVID-19. He tested positive for coronavirus in late August, but is out of quarantine. Wood has missed more than two weeks of action, but it sounds like he'll pitch again this season. He'll need some time to build […]

Trevor Bauer Likely Done For The Season

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is expected to remain on administrative leave through the conclusion of the postseason. No one should be shocked by this news considering the circumstances. Bauer has been on leave since early July while his legal process plays out. It doesn't sound like he'll take the mound again in […]

Shane McClanahan Hopeful To Only Miss One Start

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty-hander is dealing with back stiffness after battling through Wednesday's outing. It sounds like this is a precautionary move and the organization is hopeful that McClanahan will only miss one start. Chris Archer will likely move into the […]

Huascar Ynoa Gets No-Decision Against Nationals

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa returned where he left off since coming back off the injured list. On Thursday, he went five innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 7-6 win over the Washington Nationals. The 23-year-old has posted a 3.54 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 28/8 K/BB […]

Freddie Freeman Hits Clutch Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman came alive with the bat during the second half of the season. The 31-year-old is slashing .292/.388/.504 with 105 runs scored, 29 home runs, 74 RBI this season. On Thursday, Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run that tied the game in the eighth inning. The Braves were […]

Stephen Vogt Exits Due To Injury

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) was unable to get through Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. It's a shame considering Vogt hit two home runs in the game. Sadly, the 36-year-old was pulled out due to his hip bothering him. Hopefully, Vogt is able to avoid the injured list. In the meantime, Travis d'Arnaud […]

Damien Harris A Low-End RB2 For Opener

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris is going to be the lead back to begin the season. This team doesn't have much reliable depth behind Harris, so he should get his fair share of carries. Although, Harris could have trouble finding room to run during their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. A […]

Mac Jones Has Tough Assignment For Debut

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones won the starting spot with his impressive performance during the preseason. That means, the rookie quarterback will be the starter going forward with veteran Cam Newton being released. The 15th overall pick held his own in the preseason, but that also wasn't against first string defensive players. It's also […]

Nelson Agholor Misses Thursday's Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He continues to deal with a lingering ankle issue that could force him to miss Week 1. His absence could force Kristian Wilkerson, Gunner Olszewski, and Malcolm Perry into more playing time. It's tough to imagine any of those […]

Mike Gesicki Might Get Off To Slow Start

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki became a key part to this offensive unit last season. He finished with 53 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns, which were all career highs. However, the Dolphins did add on offense with Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller. Possibly, Gesicki gets less targets in 2021, but he should […]

Jaylen Waddle Gets Tough Matchup For NFL Debut

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is expected to be an impact player for this offense in 2021. He was taken as the sixth overall pick during this year's draft. He'll join a solid group of receivers in DeVante Parker and Will Fuller. It sounds like Waddle has been impressing in practice and could have […]

DeVante Parker A Shaky WR3 For Opener

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker struggled throughout most of the 2020 campaign. He finished with 63 receptions, 793 yards, and four touchdowns through 14 games with Miami. Those aren't bad stats, but the Dolphins have upgraded since last season. They've added both Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller to their core plus still have Preston […]

Malcolm Brown A Risky Choice In Team Debut

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is reportedly going to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. However, it sounds like the Dolphins believe Myles Gaskin can be a three-down back. Regardless, both Brown and Salvon Ahmed should see action during the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. A defense that […]

Myles Gaskin A Fine PPR Option For Opener

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is currently listed as the No. 1 option on the depth chart. However, head coach Brian Flores mentioned that the team plans to use a three-back committee. It's uncertain what is going to happen until we see it on the field in Week 1. Nonetheless, Gaskin should be the […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge In Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looked much improved during the preseason. He seemed comfortable in the pocket and was actually throwing an accurate deep ball to his wideouts. He'll certainly need to set up after having only three multiple touchdown games last season. His first assignment is going to be a tough challenge against the […]

Isaiah McKenzie Practicing In Full For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He injured his shoulder in practice a couple of weeks ago and still hasn't fully recovered. The MRI came back clean, which is a good sign going forward. However, it's unlikely that McKenzie is going to have […]
