BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jayden Reed didn't have the Week 1 breakout performance many were hoping for, but he'll continue to be the starting slot receiver in an offense that looks like it could exceed expectations.

Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season is in the books, and the waiver wire is as plentiful as it will be all season. There were surprise breakouts and unexpected busts in the opening week of the regular season, meaning a ton of players entered the fantasy radar, while others fell off of it. The […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If Moss (arm) returns in Week 2, he'll have plenty of fantasy football intrigue against a Texans defense that has been putrid against the run for the last few years.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed flashed in a limited role as a rookie last season, catching 28 passes for 488 yards and two touchdowns.

Is Kenneth Gainwell Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The Philadelphia Eagles running back room was difficult to project after the departure of Miles Sanders and the additions of Rashaad Penny and D'Andre Swift this offseason.

Is Kyren Williams A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 2? Waiver Wire Outlook

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had a quiet rookie season after being selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Is Aaron Rodgers Out for the Season? Should I Pickup Zach Wilson? Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season ended with a bang, as the New York Jets came back from a 10-point deficit to defeat the Buffalo Bills in overtime on a punt return touchdown.

Evan Hull "Could Miss Some Time"

Indianapolis Colts running back Evan Hull (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Rams Defense Limits Seahawks To 180 Total Yards

The Los Angeles Rams defense was expected to struggle mightily in 2023, but it kicked off the season with a dominant showing against the Seattle Seahawks.

Chad Ryland Makes Two Extra Points In Debut

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland made both of his extra point attempts in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie did not attempt a field goal in his NFL debut.

The New England Patriots defense sacked quarterback Jalen Hurts three times, forced and recovered one fumble, and held the high-powered Philadelphia Eagles to 251 yards in the Week 1 loss.

Salvon Ahmed Totals 11 Yards In Win

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed rushed three times for 11 yards and failed to catch any of his three targets in the 36-34 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jack Conklin Suffers Torn ACL, MCL

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the team's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, effectively ending his 2023 season.

James Bradberry In Concussion Protocol

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry (concussion) entered the concussion protocol after the team's Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. The Eagles gave up 316 passing yards and three passing touchdowns to Mac Jones, so losing Bradberry could cause a significant issue for its secondary.
