Parris Campbell Out For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) was trending towards playing in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, but he was named as one of the team's inactives on Sunday morning. Campbell was targeted three times last week, catching one pass for 24 yards while playing 61 percent of the team's snaps. Campbell being […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Inactive For Week 2

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch in Week 2 against the Jets, with running back J.J. Taylor set to make his 2021 debut in his stead. Stevenson had a strong preseason that made many think he could be a valuable fantasy asset this year, but after losing a fumble […]

Jamison Crowder Inactive For Week 2

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is inactive for his team's Week 2 meeting with the New England Patriots. As early as Sunday morning, it sounded like Crowder was trending towards making his 2021 debut for this one, but there must have been some kind of setback in warmups. Crowder would have given […]

Giants Lineman Nick Gates Suffers Leg Fracture

New York Giants offensive lineman Nick Gates was carted off the field in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team with a fractured leg. Gates had been starting at center for the team, but slid over to left guard for Thursday's game after the Giants had traded for Billy Price. New […]

Mekhi Becton Will Have Surgery On Wednesday

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) will surgery on Wednesday and is expected to miss four to eight weeks. One of the most promising young tackles in the NFL, Becton's extended absence will hurt the Jets offense, with both the passing game -- led by rookie quarterback Zach Wilson -- and the running game […]

Tape Tells All: The Houston Texans Week 1 Performance

Welcome to a new season of Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. Usually, I focus on one player. This week, I'm focusing on a whole team, because that team did some very surprising things. Let's talk about the Houston Texans and […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Ryan Fitzpatrick now on the injured reserve with a hip injury, Heinicke looks to be Washington’s man going into a Week 2 home date with the Giants. You’ll recall Heinicke nearly played spoiler to Tom Brady’s championship run with a 300-yard game against the Bucs in […]

Jalen Reagor (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a rookie, Jalen Reagor didn't have a lot of good games. This year, he opened the season with six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown. That means Reagor has: Already tied his TD total from last year Set a new career-high […]

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Rondale Moore breakout that everyone had been talking about didn't happen, but he still opened his NFL career with four catches for 68 yards. With A.J. Green converting just two of his six targets into catches, it's not a stretch to think Moore winds up with […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Packers lost 38-3 to New Orleans. It was bad. Really, really bad. But MVS was targeted eight times. Usually, if Aaron Rodgers is targeting you eight times, you'll have a good game. Valdes-Scantling caught just three passes for 17 yards, but I trust this […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I never understood why Slayton was rostered in so few leagues. After he was targeted seven times this week, I understand it even less. Sure, he had just three catches, but Slayton had 65 yards. He's a big-play receiver who'll get a good […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanders was questionable heading into Sunday's game, but he wound up playing and had a strong showing. He was third in the pecking order in targets with eight, behind Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley but ahead of Gabriel Davis. Davis did catch a touchdown, but Sanders […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jerry Jeudy suffered a pretty gnarly ankle sprain on Sunday and will likely be missing some time. There will be a lot of talk about whether it'll be K.J. Hamler or Tim Patrick that you should pick up. Me? I think Patrick is the guy and […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

NFL Week 1 is in the books -- aside from the Monday game -- and wow, some exciting football. The Houston Texans won a game, for instance! Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 2. Not all options are the same. Some players may be […]

Kenny Stills Signing With Saints Practice Squad

Free-agent wide receiver Kenny Stills is signing with the New Orleans Saints practice squad, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Stills played 10 games for the Texans last year and was barely a factor, setting career-lows in receptions (11), yards (144) and touchdown receptions (one). Still, he's just 29 and has been a […]

Ravens Guard Tyre Phillips Doubtful To Return

Baltimore Ravens left guard Tyre Phillips (knee) is doubtful to return to Monday's Week 1 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Phillips left the field on a cart, so this could be a serious injury for a Ravens offense that has been decimated by injury all year. While not Baltimore's most important offensive lineman, his […]

J.J. Taylor Inactive For Week 1

New England Patriots running back J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins. This likely means we'll see a good bit of rookie Rhamondre Stevenson, though Damien Harris will start and James White will serve as the passing down back. Stevenson could see some short-yardage work, but […]

Preston Williams Out For Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot) is inactive for the team's Week 1 contest against the New England Patriots. He was limited in practice all week and wasn't expected to play, so not a big surprise here. Miami has a solid wideout core -- even with Will Fuller V suspended -- for quarterback Tua […]

Mekhi Becton Carted Off With Knee Injury

New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Considering how quickly the Jets announced his status change, this is likely a pretty serious injury to one of the most promising young offensive linemen in the NFL. Without Becton to protect him, rookie quarterback Zach […]

Chiefs Defense Without Frank Clark, Tyrann Mathieu

The Kansas City Chiefs defense won't have two key players for the team's Week 1 contest against the Cleveland Browns, with safety Tyrann Mathieu and defensive lineman Frank Clark (hamstring) both out. Mathieu is off the COVID-19 list now, but he didn't get a chance to practice over the past week, while Clark likely could […]

Saquon Barkley Officially Active Against Broncos

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) is officially active for the team's Week 1 game against the Broncos. Barkley was expected to play, so this shouldn't be considered a surprising move. However, there's been a lot of chatter about Barkley not seeing a full workload in this game, making him more of an […]

Nelson Agholor Active For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) is set to make his Patriots debut on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Agholor had been trending toward playing, so there's not much of a surprise here. Last year, he had 48 catches for 896 yards and eight touchdowns with the Raiders. Agholor will provide a veteran […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Inactive For Week 1

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) is officially inactive for the team's Week 1 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. Beckham had been trending towards playing, so it looks like he must have suffered some kind of setback in warm-ups. Beckham was going to be a risky fantasy play had he been active, […]

Raheem Mostert Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions. Maybe this is just precautionary in a game where the Niners are up by 21 in the third quarter, or maybe this could be something that keeps Mostert out of […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 1

After exiting in the first half, Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) won't return against the Los Angeles Chargers. Fitzpatrick was 3-for-6 for 13 yards before exiting. Taylor Heinicke will play the rest of the game after struggling in the first half, going 2-for-4 for 19 yards. If Fitzpatrick misses time, the Football Team's […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable To Return In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (left calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 game against the Colts. At halftime, Penny has two carries for eight yards. Chris Carson has eight carries for 60 yards as well as one reception and is serving as the unquestioned lead back in Seattle. If Penny doesn't […]
