Titans Defense Not On Fantasy Radar Against Chargers

The Tennessee Titans posted a strong defensive performance in Week 1, holding the New Orleans Saints to 16 points, sacking quarterback Derek Carr four times, and forcing two turnovers. However, Tennessee's fantasy defense/special teams unit faces a tough matchup in Week 2 against the high-powered Los Angeles Chargers' offense. Even if Austin Ekeler (ankle) doesn't […]

Riley Patterson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson did not attempt a field goal in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but he does have upside in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Last week, Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher attempted three extra points and five field goals against Seattle. If Patterson is set […]

Lions Defense Not Worth Starting In Week 2

The Detroit Lions defense posted an impressive outing in Week 1, holding Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to 20 points and scoring a defensive touchdown. However, it's too early to say if Detroit has turned its defense around enough to enter the fantasy radar. The Seattle Seahawks were abysmal on offense last week, […]

Sam LaPorta Has High-End TE2 Outlook Against Seahawks

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught all five of his targets in his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. That's not a bad way to start a season and career, so he's comfortably on the fantasy radar moving forward. In Week 2, he'll face a Seattle Seahawks squad that gave up […]

Josh Reynolds - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught four passes for 80 yards in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. It looks like he'll operate as the team's No. 2 wide receiver, at least in the absence of Jameson Williams (suspension) until Week 7. That said, he's an intriguing flex option against the […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has established himself as a must-start fantasy option in all matchups, but it's worth noting he could produce a major boom performance in the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua caught ten passes for 119 yards on 15 targets against Seattle last […]

Jahmyr Gibbs - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was out-touched by David Montgomery nine to 21 in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That said, he's a risky flex option moving forward until his workload sees an uptick. Depending on when he was drafted, some fantasy managers might not have a choice but to […]

David Montgomery - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery looked the clear lead ball carrier in the team's Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old rushed 21 times for 74 yards and a touchdown, while rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs had just nine total touches. While Gibbs is likely to eat into Montgomery's workload as […]

Jared Goff - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a decent Week 1 outing against the Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for 253 yards and one touchdown. A Week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks could raise his ceiling. Seattle was picked apart by Matthew Stafford (334 passing yards) in Week 1, despite the Los Angeles Rams being without […]

Is DeAndre Hopkins Playing In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was a hot free agent this offseason, but when he landed with Tennessee, his fantasy outlook was difficult to project. After seeing 13 targets in Week 1, he's clearly the target hog for the Titans and could have boom weeks ahead. However, the 31-year-old wideout picked up an injury […]

Is Kenneth Gainwell Playing In Week 2? Should I start D'Andre Swift? Fantasy Football Outlook

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell operated as the clear lead back for the team in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. Gainwell handled 18 touches, while D'Andre Swift and Boston Scott combined for four touches and Rashaad Penny was a healthy inactive. Needless to say, Gainwell's fantasy value took an uptick […]

Is Pat Freiermuth Hurt or Healthy? Is Pat Freiermuth Playing in Week 2 for Fantasy Football?

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has had plenty of fantasy football value in PPR formats during his first two seasons in the NFL. He was a sleeper to enter top-five territory at the position heading into the 2023 campaign. However, he's dealing with an injury after the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Promoted To Active Roster

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is being promoted to the 53-man active roster. In a corresponding move, the team placed safety Caden Sterns (knee) on Injured Reserve.

Terron Armstead To Practice On Wednesday

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (ankle) is returning to practice on Wednesday and will "do a little bit," according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The four-time Pro Bowler suffered an ankle injury on August 17 and has not practiced since. Getting him back will be significant for the Dolphins offense that scored 36 points […]

Zack Moss At Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) is at practice on Wednesday after missing the season-opening loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Moss suffered a broken arm early in training camp but is trending toward a return soon. In Week 2, the Colts draw a favorable matchup against the Houston Texans, who have struggled to contain […]

Mark Andrews Practices On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quad) participated in practice on Wednesday. The Pro Bowler missed the Week 1 contest against the Houston Texans, but his early-week participation is a good sign for Week 2. Baltimore squares off with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, and Andrews is a must-start in all matchups. If he […]

Jaycee Horn Dealing With Serious Hamstring Injury

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn (hamstring) is reportedly dealing with a serious hamstring injury after being banged up in the Week 1 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. According to Panthers head coach Frank Reich, surgery and a stint on Injured Reserve are both options for the former first-round pick. Horn has played in just 17 […]

Garrett Bradbury Out, Christian Darrisaw Questionable For Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings center Garrett Bradbury (back) has been ruled out and tackle Christian Darrisaw (ankle) is officially questionable for the Thursday Night Football contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. A matchup with the elite Eagles defensive line is not a good time to deal with key offensive line injuries, so the Minnesota offense could be mightily […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill was nothing short of atrocious in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints, completing 50% of his passes for 198 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions.

Leonard Fournette (RB, FA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Fournette looked like a shell of his former self last season, rushing for just 668 yards and three touchdowns on 3.5 yards per carry.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trey Palmer caught two of his three targets for eight yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut against the Minnesota Vikings.

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.

Curtis Samuel (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, Curtis Samuel led the Commanders in receptions (five) and receiving yards (54).

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Joshua Kelley, Roschon Johnson, Tyjae Spears, Allen Robinson, Jake Ferguson, Josh Downs

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 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Diontae Johnson (hamstring) is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering an injury on Sunday.

Zack Moss (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

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. Houston allowed three rushing touchdowns to running backs against the Baltimore Ravens […]

Is Rashid Shaheed A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 2? Waiver Wire Outlook

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. He was viewed as a fantasy football sleeper heading into 2023. The undrafted speedster delivered a solid fantasy outing in Week 1, putting him on the fantasy football radar […]

Joe Flacco Interested In Jets Reunion

Free-agent quarterback Joe Flacco is interested in returning to the New York Jets, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.
