Robert Woods A Risky Low-End Flex Play

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw just two targets in Week 1 against the New York Giants and produced just one catch for 13 yards. The Buffalo Bills' defense looks strong, so Woods is a concerning fantasy option on Monday night. However, Buffalo could take a commanding lead early in this contest, meaning a... Read More

Dontrell Hilliard A Deep-League PPR Flex Play

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard scored 21.9 fantasy points (PPR) in Week 1 against the New York Giants, but it's important to note he only touched the ball five times. He caught two receiving touchdowns, but since his workload was so small, we can't expect that kind of production heading into a tough matchup... Read More

Derrick Henry Has Wide Range Of Outcomes In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was one of the most notable Week 1 busts. Against the New York Giants, he rushed 21 times for just 82 yards, good for 3.9 yards-per-carry. Since he's not a pass-catcher, his fantasy production has often been reliant upon touchdowns, and his Week 2 outlook should be viewed in... Read More

Ryan Tannehill A Boom-Or-Bust Play

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill faces a tough matchup against a strong Buffalo Bills defense on Monday Night Football. This means he could be one of the lowest-scoring QBs in Week 2, but there's also a scenario where he booms. If Buffalo gets out to an early commanding lead, Tennessee will be forced to pass... Read More

Lions Defense A Weak Option Against Washington

The Detroit Lions defense/special teams came into the season as one of the worst-ranked units in fantasy football, and for good reason. The defense gave up 38 points against the Philadelphia Eagles and isn't attractive in any matchup. The Washington Commanders offense led by quarterback Carson Wentz looked fairly explosive in the season opener, so... Read More

Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 2

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert doesn't have much appeal in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Kickers are tough to predict and any kicker can boom or bust any week, but since Seibert doesn't have a strong resume of fantasy production, there are plenty of options to consider before inserting him into fantasy lineups. The... Read More

T.J. Hockenson A Solid Tight End Play

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson posted just 7.8 PPR points in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, fantasy managers who drafted him probably took him as a top-eight tight end, so it's too early to panic and bench him. Ultimately, his upside still places him as a top ten tight end play, at... Read More

D.J. Chark Has Appeal In Deep Leagues

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark scored a touchdown in his Lions debut and was clearly ahead of Josh Reynolds in the pecking order. However, his eight targets yielded just four receptions for 52 yards, so it's too early to consider him a strong "fool-proof" fantasy starter. In deep leagues, he's a fine flex option,... Read More

Amon-Ra St. Brown A Must-Start in Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is a must-start moving forward after his 12-target game in Week 1. The Washington Commanders gave up 117 yards on six receptions to Christian Kirk from the slot, so St. Brown could be in for a similar day. Detroit might not be as pass-happy as it was in... Read More

Jamaal Williams Has Flex Appeal In Week 2

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams scored two touchdowns against the Philadelphia Eagles but wasn't an efficient runner or receiver in the contest. He could be a touchdown-or-bust guy, meaning his attractiveness as a flex play is dependent on the size of the fantasy league. However, if D'Andre Swift (ankle) is inactive against the Washington... Read More

D'Andre Swift A Top RB Play If Active

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift is apparently dealing with an ankle injury, but all indications are it's not a worrisome or major ailment. He reportedly rolled his ankle in the loss to the Eagles, so there's a solid chance he could be good to go for Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Washington gave... Read More

Jared Goff A Low-End QB2 In Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a low-end QB2 performance against the Eagles, and a similar day can be expected against the Washington Commanders. Goff benefited from a come-from-behind game script last week but still didn't produce monster numbers. The contest against Washington should be a closer game from start to finish, so he should... Read More

Is Mac Jones Hurt or Healthy? Is Mac Jones Playing in Week 2 for Fantasy Football?

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was apparently dealing with a back injury in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins. His ailment could be an explanation for a lackluster offensive showing for New England, so this is worth monitoring moving forward. Although Jones showed some flashes of upside in his rookie season, we... Read More

Is Dameon Pierce or Rex Burkhead the Houston Texans Starting RB?

Houston Texans running backs Dameon Pierce and Rex Burkhead were candidates to be the Texans' RB1 in 2022 throughout the offseason, and although Pierce looked to have a clear leg up, Week 1 has muddied the situation. Fantasy managers usually root for the young rookie to supplant the "boring" and "unexciting" veteran, but that's not... Read More

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Hayden Hurst, Kyle Philips, Boston Scott, Zack Moss, Donovan Peoples-Jones and more

Welcome to the first deep league waiver wire hunt of the year. These fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions are geared toward leagues with deep benches or 14-plus teams, so the obvious Week 1 darlings and obvious pickups such as Jeff Wilson Jr., Jarvis Landry, Dontrell Hilliard, and Isiah Pacheco won't be featured in this... Read More

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 is in the rearview mirror, and just like every other position in fantasy football, we can't overreact to guys who had huge spike weeks in their season openers. We also can't get too low on guys who laid an egg. The kicker position is arguably one of the toughest positions to predict in... Read More

Kyle Fuller Suffers Torn ACL

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Kyle Fuller (knee) tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2022 NFL season. This is a concerning injury given the major struggles of the Baltimore secondary last season, especially since Marcus Peters still has not fully come back from his torn ACL. From a fantasy perspective, this will be... Read More

Mac Jones Could Play In Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was banged up against the Miami Dolphins, but he was reportedly just suffering from back spasms. This is good news considering it is a minor and treatable situation, and he could be back on the field in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he shouldn't be started in... Read More

Jayron Kearse To Miss A Few Weeks

Dallas Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse (knee) added to the doomsday for the team Sunday night, suffering a sprained MCL. He'll be out between two and four weeks. The Cowboys defense looked strong at points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and should still be considered in favorable matchups moving forward. However, with a matchup against the... Read More

Elijah Mitchell To Miss At Least A Few Weeks

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell will undergo an MRI on his knee to determine the extent of his injury, but he's expected to miss at least a few games moving forward. The obvious waiver wire pickup is Jeff Wilson Jr., who will lead the 49ers' backfield. Behind Wilson, Tyrion Davis-Price and Jordan Mason... Read More

Chris Godwin Expected To Miss Time

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. The team is optimistic that the injury isn't serious, but it'd be surprising to see Tampa rush him back on the field given what is at stake later in the year. In the wake... Read More

Austin Hooper Catches One Pass In Loss

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught one-of-two targets in the loss to the New York Giants and posted just six yards. It was a rough Titans debut for Hooper and Robert Woods, so it's worth monitoring if they can build chemistry with Ryan Tannehill. For now, Hooper shouldn't be considered in fantasy lineups. Until... Read More

Kyle Philips Leads Titans In Targets

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips drew nine targets in the loss to the New York Giants, catching six of them for 66 yards. He led the team by four targets and posted a 27-percent target share. He should immediately be on the fantasy radar, at least in PPR leagues. He obviously has early chemistry... Read More

Treylon Burks Catches Three Passes In Opener

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks finished second on the team with five targets, catching three of them for 55 yards. He was targeted once deep, drawing a pass interference call, and was also targeted in the end zone. Despite being fourth among Titans' wideouts in snaps, it's clear Ryan Tannehill is looking his way,... Read More

Robert Woods Sees Two Targets In Loss

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw just two targets against the Giants, good for fifth on the Tennessee offense. He scored just 2.3 fantasy points in PPR leagues on one catch for 13 yards. This is a concerning development considering he was expected to be the clear No. 1 in the Ryan Tannehill offense.... Read More

Dontrell Hilliard Catches Two Touchdowns In Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard only touched the ball five times in the loss to the New York Giants but tallied three catches, 69 total yards, and two receiving touchdowns. He should now be on the fantasy radar, but the volume wasn't strong enough to overreact to the touchdowns. RB-needy fantasy managers might want... Read More

Derrick Henry Has Unproductive Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry posted just 82 rushing yards on 21 attempts, and once again proved to be a "zero" in the receiving game. He failed to find the end zone, so this will go down as a "bust" week for the two-time rushing champion. He usually takes time to heat up, but... Read More

Ryan Tannehill Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 20 of his 33 passing attempts for 266 yards and two touchdowns. He posted 23.34 fantasy points, good for a QB10 finish before Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football. He only rushed one time for nine yards, so he didn't reach a ceiling outcome, but he was a... Read More

T.J. Hockenson Has Quiet Day In Loss

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught four-of-eight targets for 38 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. In PPR leagues, it was a serviceable day for a tight end, but his 3.8 standard league point total was a disastrous start. The Eagles were viewed as a favorable matchup for tight ends, so it... Read More

D.J. Chark Scores Touchdown In Lions Debut

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark caught four of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Chark was only behind Amon-Ra St. Brown on the target log, so he could be playable moving forward, especially in deeper leagues. He's unlikely to beat T.J. Hockenson in targets every... Read More
