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 […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Exits Week 1 With Injury

Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) was slow to get up following a hit and has been replaced by Taylor Heinicke. Fitzpatrick is questionable to return with a right hip injury. Based on the hit that Fitzpatrick took, it's likely that we see Heinicke for the rest of this contest against the Chargers. Heinicke threw […]

Raheem Mostert Questionable To Return In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions. Mostert has two carries for 20 yards so far. With Trey Sermon being a healthy scratch, Elijah Mitchell appears set to be the lead back for the rest of this game. Mitchell was a popular waiver wire […]

Isaiah McKenzie Questionable To Return In Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers. McKenzie's value for the Bills is mainly on special teams, as he opened the game with a 75-yard kickoff return to set up a Bills field goal. Likely fifth in line at receiver, McKenzie not reentering this game […]

Jamaal Williams Will Start In Week 1

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams is expected to start in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Williams will get early down work, with D'Andre Swift working on third downs. Swift had a groin injury last week, but had practiced in full this week, so this […]

Joshua Kelley Inactive For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. With running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) a full go for this game, Justin Jackson will serve as the primary backup and Larry Rountree III is the third back. If you drafted Kelley in a deep league […]

Emmanuel Sanders Active For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is active for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Steelers. This meeting with Pittsburgh should be a good one for the Bills passing game, with Sanders likely serving as the third receiver over Gabriel Davis. Stefon Diggs will command a lot of attention on the outside, which […]

Josh Reynolds Inactive For Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Reynolds (foot) won't play against the Cardinals in Week 1. Expected to be the team's No. 3 receiver, Reynolds' Titans debut will have to wait at least another week. With him out, expect to see more of tight end Anthony Firkser in the short passing game, with the potential for […]

Anthony Miller, Deshaun Watson Inactive

Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller is inactive for the team's Week 1 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. A shoulder injury kept him out for much of training camp, but Miller seemed to be healthy, making this a slight surprise. It's likely that he just hasn't gotten up to speed yet and will be featured […]

Keelan Cole Inactive For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Carolina Panthers. With Jamison Crowder out too, quarterback Zach Wilson is already down two of his best weapons as he makes his NFL debut. Corey Davis should see plenty of targets and should be in a lot of fantasy […]

Jaguars Make Jacob Hollister Inactive For Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Jacob Hollister is the team's only inactive skill position player ahead of Sunday's Week 1 meeting with the Houston Texans. Not a lot of surprises here, as Hollister was expected to be the No. 3 tight end on the team. This seems to imply that rookie tight end Luke Farrell is […]

Quenton Nelson Officially Active For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts guard Quenton Nelson (foot, back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. One of the NFL's best offensive linemen, having Nelson in the lineup will help keep quarterback Carson Wentz upright and can open some huge holes for running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor was already an RB1 play […]

Zack Moss A Healthy Week 1 Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss is not active for the team's Week 1 contest against the Steelers, but Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Moss isn't injured. Maybe there's something going on behind the scenes, but Moss being inactive comes as a huge surprise as he was expected to be a huge […]

David Montgomery Has Tough Week 1 Matchup

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery had a 71 percent snap share last year and should once again be a strong fantasy play because of his projected role in head coach Matt Nagy's offense. But Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season might be tough on Montgomery, as he faces a Rams defense that allowed […]

Jonathan Taylor Is A Solid Week 1 Play

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is a solid fantasy option in Week 1 against a Seahawks team that ranked 17th in fantasy points allowed to running backs last season. The sky might not be the limit for Taylor, but with guard Quenton Nelson trending towards playing, Taylor is a low-end RB1, even with the […]

Michael Gallup Exits With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (ankle) is questionable to return to the team's Week 1 contest against the Buccaneers. Gallup had four catches for 36 yards before exiting. The way Dallas used Gallup was encouraging, even if the numbers didn't necessarily look great for fantasy purposes. If Gallup misses any time, Cedrick Wilson would […]

After exiting early with an apparent elbow injury, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Sean Murphy-Bunting won't return to Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: It'll probably be a while before we truly know who the quarterback is in New Orleans, but the fact he re-signed in New Orleans back in March means that Winston had to think he had a very, very good shot at winning the job over Taysom Hill.
