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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Graham Gano Dealing With Ankle Injury

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.

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.

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 […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (head) is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit late in Sunday's victory over the Denver Broncos.

Darius Slayton Fails To Deliver Production On Five Targets

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton tied for the team lead in targets (five) on Sunday but only logged three catches for 15 yards.

Parris Campbell Secures Just One Catch In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell logged just one catch for two yards in the team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The slot receiver was targeted four times in the contest.

Isaiah Hodgins Records One Catch, Loses Fumble In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins caught just one ball for 24 yards in the team's 40-0 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
