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. However, the biggest storyline of the game was obviously the injury to future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The 39-year-old was banged […]

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. The injury is disappointing considering it was his NFL debut, and Colts head coach Shane Steichen said the rookie "could miss some time" moving forward. The team is already without Jonathan Taylor (ankle) for at […]

Brett Maher Misses Two Field Goals In Win Over Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher struggled at the end of last season with the Dallas Cowboys, and his struggles continued in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Maher made all three of his extra point attempts but missed two of his five field goal tries in his Rams debut. The Rams' offense […]

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. Geno Smith accumulated just 112 passing yards and a touchdown on 26 passing attempts, and running backs Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet, and DeeJay Dallas combined for 79 rushing yards […]

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.

NFL teams take […]

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. The two-time first-team All-Pro selection suffered a torn ACL in 2017, so a second major knee injury is disappointing. Rookie fourth-round pick Dawand Jones is slated to […]

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.

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: J.K.

Titans Post Two Turnovers, Four Sacks In Loss To Saints

The Tennessee Titans defense sacked Derek Carr four times and intercepted him once in the 15-16 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

After a strong performance, the Titans' fantasy defense/special teams can be considered […]

Nick Folk Makes All Five Field Goals In Loss

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk made five field goals on five attempts in the 15-16 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The veteran kicker was perfect on the day and scored the only points for Tennessee. Given the lack of success with converting three-downs for Tennessee, Folk could be near the top of the NFL […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Doesn't Catch Pass In Loss

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo failed to catch either of his two targets in the 16-15 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The second-year tight end was wide open on a double pass play, but quarterback Ryan Tannehill overthrew him. After seeing Okonkwo notch just two targets, he cannot be trusted […]

Treylon Burks Totals 27 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks caught two of his three targets for 18 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the 16-15 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill struggled mightily, completing just 50% of his passes and throwing three interceptions. However, Burks was out-targeted by DeAndre Hopkins (13), Nick Westbrook-Ikhine […]

DeAndre Hopkins Sees 13 Targets In Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught seven of his 13 targets for 65 yards in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Derrick Henry Turns 17 Touches Into 119 Yards

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 15 times for 63 yards and caught two of his three targets for 56 yards in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Henry posted nearly 100 yards in the first half but handled limited touches in the second half as the team played behind the […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws Three Interceptions In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 16 of his 34 passing attempts for 198 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions in the loss to the New Orleans Saints.
