Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains Top Receiving Target

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown picked up where he left off last year, catching eight of his 12 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. The yardage wasn't impressive, but drawing 12 targets is a sign for things to come. He's locked into the No.1 WR role in Detroit until further notice, and... Read More

Jamaal Williams Scores Two Rushing Touchdowns

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams rushed 11 times for 28 yards and two touchdowns and caught one pass for two yards. His day yielded 15 fantasy points in standard leagues and 16 fantasy points in PPR. Those who started Williams were rewarded, but it's tough to depend on only touchdowns for fantasy production. He'll... Read More

D'Andre Swift Totals 175 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift rushed 15 times for 144 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately for Swift's fantasy managers, Jamaal Williams scored two goal-line touchdowns, but Swift was the far more efficient runner at 9.6 yards per carry and added... Read More

Jared Goff Throws Two Touchdowns In Opener

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a respectable 19.5 fantasy points in the loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Goff connected on 21-of-37 passing attempts for 215 yards and two passing touchdowns to one interception. The Lions' offense showed some life against what is expected to be a strong Eagles defense, so Goff could be worth... Read More

Week 1 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The NFL season is finally here and it's time to dive into everyone's favorite position in fantasy football -- kickers. Making start-or-sit decisions at kicker might feel like a fool's chore, but hey, if you're playing in a league with kickers, those fantasy points matter, and we've got to use the data we have to... Read More

Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 1

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert is an uninspiring play in fantasy football, as the Detroit offense isn't expecting to be a high-scoring unit, and Detroit was a bottom-10 team in field goal attempts a season ago. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell is as aggressive as NFL coaches come, as the Lions led the NFL with... Read More

Lions Defense Not On Fantasy Radar

The Detroit Lions defense ranked dead-last in fantasy points per game last season (3.4) and is matched up with a loaded Philadelphia Eagles offense in Week 1. Additionally, the Eagles allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to D/STs last year. Detroit looks to be a much-improved team, but the defense is still expected to be a... Read More

T.J. Hockenson In Line For Large Role

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson missed the last few weeks of the 2021 regular season with a thumb injury but is expected to return to a large role in the Jared Goff-led offense. Hockenson posted a 21-percent target share last season and was the team's de facto No. 1 option before the breakout of... Read More

Josh Reynolds Listed As Starter For Detroit

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds will be starting in three-wide sets, so he's worth paying attention to in the early part of the season. Jameson Williams will likely take his spot on the field when he returns from a knee injury, but Reynolds has some worth for now. That said, he looks to be... Read More

D.J. Chark An Intriguing Deep-League Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark played in just four games last year for the Jaguars after breaking his ankle but looks to be ready to go for Week 1. Chark is an explosive deep-threat who could be considered a boom-or-bust fantasy play in 2022. He's reportedly built strong chemistry with Jared Goff, so he... Read More

Amon-Ra St. Brown A Solid Flex Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown posted a fantastic rookie season with 90 receptions, 912 yards, and five touchdowns last year. However, he did most of his damage when D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson were banged up or out of the lineup, so regression could be coming. For now, he's still worth starting thanks... Read More

Jamaal Williams A Deep-League Flex Option

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams doesn't warrant consideration in shallow leagues, but for fantasy managers in a pinch at flex in deep leagues, he might be a solid option. D'Andre Swift is expected to be the lead back in the Lions offense, with Williams potentially getting some work in the red zone. His PPR... Read More

D'Andre Swift A Must-Start In Season Opener

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been a hot name in fantasy football during the offseason and is poised for a breakout year as a top pass-catching back. The Eagles' front-seven looks strong on paper, but Swift should be viewed as an automatic starter in PPR leagues, regardless of matchup. Swift saw an 18.4-percent... Read More

Jared Goff A Low-End QB2 In Week 1

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a handful of strong performances in 2021, but he's still not viewed as an every-week starter in fantasy football. The Lions added D.J. Chark and get T.J. Hockenson back from injury, but until the offense shows promise, it's tough to trust its passing game. The Eagles allowed the 9th-most... Read More

Titans Defense A Strong Week 1 Streamer

The Tennessee Titans defense opens up the season with a favorable matchup against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants. Last season, the Giants gave up the third-most fantasy points to D/STs, and led the league with 30 giveaways. Daniel Jones has 49 career turnovers in just 38 games, so Kevin Byard and company will... Read More

Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 1

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock played well enough to be re-signed by the team this offseason, but his fantasy upside is capped by an offense that isn't projected to be a high-scoring unit. Kickers always have wide a range of outcomes, but this game against the New York Giants does not set up to be... Read More

Austin Hooper Not An Attractive Week 1 Streamer

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper might have touchdown upside in an offense with a lot of uncertainty at wide receiver, but he's not viewed as a strong option in Week 1. The volume is not likely to be there for Hooper and the New York Giants gave up the 10th-fewest fantasy points to the... Read More

Treylon Burks Has A Low Floor In Season Opener

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks will eventually get opportunities to be fantasy-relevant in his rookie season, but he's far from a sure thing in his NFL debut. After an up-and-down preseason, Burks is listed as a backup on the Titans' depth chart, but he will at least be on the field in three-wide sets.... Read More

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A Deep-League Option In Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is listed as the starting wide receiver opposite of Robert Woods for Week 1 against the Giants. However, Tennessee has been one of the most run-heavy teams over the last three seasons and is expected to do the same in 2022. Westbrook-Ikhine will likely draw career-high targets this season,... Read More

Derrick Henry Poised For Big Day

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has been a polarizing player in preseason drafts, but he's back to automatic starter status in 2022. After breaking his foot last season, he was disappointing in the AFC divisional game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, preseason reports have been positive, and he'll likely handle a large workload from... Read More

Ryan Tannehill A Risky Starter In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a wide range of outcomes as the Titans host the Giants in Week 1. Tannehill lost A.J. Brown and Julio Jones in the offseason and welcomes Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, and Austin Hooper to his offense. The pass-catchers in place all have upside, but it might take time for... Read More

Robert Woods Opens Season As WR1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods looks to be Ryan Tannehill's No. 1 option in the passing game early on in 2022. Treylon Burks had an up-and-down preseason campaign and is currently listed behind Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on the Titans' depth chart. Woods will face off with the New York Giants in his first game with... Read More

Is Drake London Healthy For Week 1? Should I Start London if Active?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London injured his knee in his first preseason action in the NFL, leaving fantasy gamers curious about his immediate regular season status. The majority of fantasy drafts have been completed, so those searching for London news likely already drafted him or are considering him in DFS. That said, his Week... Read More

Zach Ertz's Week 1 Status Up In The Air

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) is being called "day-to-day" by head coach Kliff Kingsbury, so this will be a situation worth monitoring before Week 1 start-or-sit decisions. Arizona faces off with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a high-scoring affair with plenty of fantasy football intrigue in the... Read More

James Robinson Expected To Play In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) carried a lot of uncertainty during the NFL offseason after a major injury late in 2021. However, Doug Pederson said Robinson "should play" against the Commanders in Week 1. It's tough to know exactly how the workload will be split between Robinson and Travis Etienne, but Etienne is... Read More

Deebo Samuel Returns To Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee) missed practice last Thursday with a bone bruise behind his knee but did participate in conditioning. However, he's back on the practice field Monday, so his Week 1 status looks positive. The 49ers travel to Chicago to take on the Bears, whose defense lost a lot of... Read More

Drake London Returns To Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) suffered an injury in the first quarter of his first live NFL action in Week 1 of the preseason but returned to practice Monday. This is a promising sign for the rookie wideout from USC and his Week 1 availability against the New Orleans Saints. However, he shouldn't... Read More

Jaylen Waddle Back At Dolphins Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) was inactive for all of the team's preseason games and has missed several practices as the season opener approaches. He returned to the practice field Monday, which is an encouraging sign for Week 1. Waddle and company host the Patriots in Week 1, who have historically been a... Read More

Allen Lazard's Status Uncertain For Week 1

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard was absent from practice last week for unknown reasons, and his Week 1 status is up in the air. The Packers are slated to travel to Minnesota, and with a seemingly weak receiver room in Green Bay, Lazard's status will be important to monitor. Head coach Matt LaFleur... Read More

Is Jalen Reagor Worth Drafting In Fantasy Football After Being Traded to the Vikings?

Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor was dealt to the Minnesota Vikings for a 2023 seventh-round pick as well as a 2024 conditional fourth-round pick. The former first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft finds a new home after struggling in the first two years of his career. After A.J. Brown was traded to... Read More
