Kyle Pitts Quiet Again In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught just two passes for 15 yards in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. The former first-round pick saw the least amount of targets (five) among receivers who saw at least one. The second tight end on the depth chart, Jonnu Smith, outperformed […]

Drake London Rebounds In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London grabbed six catches for 67 yards and one touchdown in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Falcons got the second-year receiver involved in the game plan early following a non-existent Week 1 stat line. London was on the receiving end of Desmond Ridder's first pass […]

New York Giants Defense Can’t Contain Arizona Offense

The New York Giants defense allowed Joshua Dobbs and the Arizona Cardinals' offense to score 28 points on Sunday. Unless you play in a league that rewards defenses for forcing three-and-outs, the G-Men added nothing for fantasy managers. The end result was a far cry from expectations this week. Dexter Lawrence and Co. ranked as […]

Darius Slayton Catches Three Passes In Comeback Win

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught three of his six targets for 62 yards in the team's 31-28 victory over Arizona. The 26-year-old was blanked in the first half as the Giants struggled to move the football. Down 20 at the half, Daniel Jones came out slinging and Slayton played his part in […]

Graham Gano Kicks Game-Winning Field Goal In Week 2

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano knocked through a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining to clinch a 31-28 victory for the Giants. The veteran also went a perfect 4/4 on extra points against Arizona. The Giants' offense started sluggish on Sunday afternoon, falling behind 20-0 at halftime. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Big Blue […]

Isaiah Hodgins Posts His First Touchdown Of The New Season

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 2 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The entire Giants' offense looked out of sorts again in the first half, falling behind 20-0, but came out firing in the second half. Hodgins' score tied the game […]

Jalin Hyatt Leads Giants In Receiving Yards In Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt snagged both of his targets for 89 yards in the team's 31-28 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie caught his first NFL pass on the Giants' opening play from scrimmage in the second half. It went for 58 yards and helped kickstart a sloppy offense. His […]

Darren Waller Pieces Together Solid Performance In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught six of his eight targets for 76 yards in the team's 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Waller, like other members of the Giants' offense, was on his way to another subpar fantasy performance in the first half. Then, New York came out in the second half […]

Daniel Jones Scores Three Touchdowns In Comeback Win

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 31-28 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also added 59 yards and another score on the ground but tossed one interception. It wound up being a strong fantasy performance for the 26-year-old but started out as another forgettable […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Terry McLaurin, Joe Mixon, Jordan Love, more

Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season was far from pretty. In some games, it was downright ugly. For someone who writes a weekly busts column, it makes my life a little easier. But that's not at all fun for fantasy football, so let's go to bed and pray for more touchdowns and explosive plays […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

One week down, 17 more to go. Week 1 helped paint a picture of what we can expect from certain teams in the new year. In some other cases, we didn't learn a whole lot. There were a handful of significant upsets in Week 1 (Detroit over Kansas City, Tampa Bay over Minnesota, and Los […]

Should I Start James Cook in Week 2? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Usage. Opportunities. Touches. Targets. Snaps. In fantasy football, those words sometimes mean more than the actual box score when projecting the production outlook of players. Case and point, James Cook. The second-year running back didn't have a great fantasy performance in Week 1 against a stingy New York Jets defense. He tallied 46 yards on […]

Is Christian Watson Playing In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was tapped by many (including me) as a potential breakout candidate in 2023. It’s hard to become a star when a hamstring injury prevents you from seeing the field. Watson has already missed one game to start the season and a second is in doubt as we move […]

Graham Gano - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (ankle) was listed as a full participant in practice Friday following two days of limited work. He is cleared to play on Sunday as he seeks his first points of the new season. The veteran had one field goal blocked and missed another in the Giants' season opener against […]

Is Raheem Mostert Playing In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

In 2012, the San Antonio Spurs rested a 36-year-old Tim Duncan for a meaningless regular season game against a subpar Philadelphia 76ers team. Resting wasn't unusual at that point in Duncan's career, but the reasoning listed on the box score was. Coach Gregg Popovich poked some fun at his All-NBA forward by calling him old. […]

Jalin Hyatt - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is still seeking the first catch of his NFL career as he heads into Week 2. The rookie saw just one of Daniel Jones' 28 attempts in Week 1 while playing 36 percent of the snaps. The third-round pick could see some plays schemed for him against the […]

Parris Campbell - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell tied with Darius Slayton for the team lead in snap percentage at the position in Week 1. However, he secured just one catch for two yards. Campbell wasn't alone in his lack of production. The entire offense struggled against Dallas. Nevertheless, it shows the coaching staff has plans […]

Isaiah Hodgins - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New York Giants' passing attack looks to regroup in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, and that includes wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins. The 24-year-old caught just one pass for 24 yards in Week 1, a play on which he lost a fumble. Quarterback Daniel Jones only threw for 104 yards on Sunday Night Football […]

Giants Defense - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The New York Giants' defense struggled against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, but this team is not lacking talent on that side of the football. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is coming off of a second-team All-Pro season and they have a rising star in pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Those two and the rest of […]

Saquon Barkley - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is looking for a better offensive performance this week. The two-time Pro Bowl running back was the lone bright spot of a dreadful Week 1 for the G-Men, averaging 4.3 yards per carry against the Dallas defense. The rest of the offense had a net of 120 yards. […]

Daniel Jones - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has a prime opportunity for a bounce-back game in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona's defense was above average in their season opener, scoring a touchdown and holding the Commanders to 202 passing yards. But they let up a rushing touchdown to Sam Howell, which is a stronger […]

Darren Waller - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) was a limited participant in practices on Thursday and Friday but insists his hamstring injury is nothing to worry about. He does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday. The veteran was the team's leading receiver in Week 1 but it still wasn't enough to give […]

Curtis Samuel Listed As Limited In Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It's unclear how severe the injury is or if the veteran was getting more of a rest day. Samuel led the Commanders in receiving yards in Week 1, catching all five of his targets for 54 yards. The 27-year-old […]

Tyjae Spears Limited In Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (groin) picked up a limited participant designation at Wednesday's practice. The rookie only logged four touches in his NFL debut but played four more snaps than starter Derrick Henry. Coach Mike Vrabel called the lack of Henry snaps "probably" an outlier and noted that the Titans were attempting to […]

Graham Gano Dealing With Ankle Injury

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. Coach Brian Daboll initially called the issue a calf injury but the official practice report listed it as an ankle concern. Daboll did add that the veteran should be fine for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Gano had one field goal blocked […]

Rashaad Penny Expected To Be Active Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny is expected to be active for Thursday Night Football with fellow backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) ruled out. Penny was a healthy scratch for the Eagles during Week 1. The team opted to play Gainwell, D'Andre Swift, and Boston Scott. Swift profiles to lead the backfield in opportunities in […]

Stetson Bennett Placed On Reserve/NFI List

Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Stetson Bennett (shoulder) has been placed on the Non-Football Injury list, head coach Sean McVay announced. The fourth-round pick out of Georgia has also been dealing with a shoulder injury that kept him out of the team's season opener. McVay said that these two issues are unrelated. Brett Rypien will […]

Is Roschon Johnson A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 2? Waiver Wire Outlook

There's a quote by the late John Madden that goes “If you've got two quarterbacks, you have none.” In fantasy football, if you have three running backs taking work in the same backfield, you have none. It's extremely rare that even two running backs from the same team are productive enough to find a permanent […]

Cam Akers Splits Backfield Workload In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers ran the ball 22 times for 29 yards and one touchdown in the team's Week 1 upset victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Backup Kyren Williams was far more efficient running the football on Sunday with 15 carries for 52 yards and two touchdowns. The backfield seems like more […]

Matthew Stafford Throws For Over 300 Yards In Upset Win

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 334 yards in the team's 30-13 win against the Seattle Seahawks. He also added 11 rushing yards but failed to score a touchdown in either department. The former Super Bowl champion was without All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp but young receivers Puka […]
