IDP Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Football: Week 3

Sunday’s slate of games featured some amazing performances by defensive players and some crazy finishes (many of them facilitated by poor defensive performances). We got to see not only Aiden Hutchinson’s first NFL sack but also his second and his third. We saw four defenders march into the end zone after blocked kicks, interceptions, and […]

Allen Robinson II Catches Four Passes And Scores TD

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II caught four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown on five targets in the Rams' 31-27 Week 2 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 27-of-36 passes for 272 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Rams' 31-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Tyrion Davis-Price gained 33 yards on 14 carries in the Niners' 27-7 rout of the Seattle Seahawks Week 2. Twenty of his yards came on one big gain. If you take that out of the picture, he was only averaging one yard per carry on the rest of his […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Leads 49ers With 84 Rushing Yards

Fantasy Football IDP Injury Reports For NFL Defensive Players: Week 2 Updates for T.J. Watt, Jamal Adams, Jalen Thompson, Ed Oliver

T.J. Watt owners, you know the feeling... I had T.J. Watt in my home league last season. He was constantly checking out of games early with nagging minor injuries, but he must have led every IDP manager who started him to the playoffs. I went back to the well and drafted him early this year. […]

Nick Bosa A High-End Defensive End In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is a high-end DE/edge-rushing option for IDP leagues in his Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Bosa is coming off a one-sack, multi-pressure showing against the Bears and facing another weak offensive line. PFF ranked the Seahawks the single worst O-line in its preseason rankings, and they […]

49ers Defense Week 2 Outlook

The San Francisco 49ers defensive and special teams unit faces a Seattle Seahawks offense that entered the season with low expectations. The Seahawks ranked 20th in total offense last season—and that was with Russell Wilson at quarterback. Now Geno Smith is the starter. He looked very bad early in his career, then he only played […]

Robbie Gould's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is coming off a game in which he made the only field goal he attempted, and he's facing a Seattle Seahawks team this week that allowed 6.6 kicking points per game last season, the 13th-fewest in the league. The Seahawks defense is about average, and the 49ers offense is […]

Jordan Mason A Potential Stash

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Jordan Mason could have an expanded role in the 49ers upcoming home game against the Seattle Seahawks. With starting RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) set to miss the next eight or so games with a sprained MCL, other Niners backs will have to step up. Jeff Wilson Jr. is the […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Must Step Up In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. takes on the starting role for the 49ers in their Week 2 home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson started four games last year and averaged 44.3 yards per game and 3.9 yards per carry in those games. The Seahawks played well on defense in their Week […]

Brandon Aiyuk Has Good Matchup, Poor Situation

While San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk's Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is favorable on paper, the situation surrounding his team is not. The Seahawks defense allowed the second-most passing yards in 2021 and gave up 340 to the Broncos Week 1. Both the Broncos top two WRs scored double digits in PPR. […]

Deebo Samuel's Dual-Threat Role Brings Upside

San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel's role in his team's running game offers him some insurance value in his Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners' passing game looked terrible Week 1, and Samuel only made two catches, but he still finished inside the top 30 WRs in standard scoring on the strength […]

Trey Lance Has Rushing Floor In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will attempt to quiet the doubters when the Seahawks come to Levi's Stadium for a Week 2 divisional matchup. Lance struggled last week against the Bears, finishing as the QB27, but Soldier Field was a sloppy mess from heavy rain. It is likely to rain in San Francisco, too, […]

Rams Defense Faces Improved Falcons Offense

The Los Angeles Rams defense and special teams unit faces the Atlanta Falcons this week in what could be a tough matchup. The Falcons offense didn't do much last season, but now they have a new quarterback who can run in Marcus Mariota, rookie receiver Drake London and record-setting tight end Kyle Pitts entering his […]

Matt Gay A Solid Streaming Option In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is a solid streaming option in his Week 2 home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons allowed the most touchdowns per game in 2021 but only the 25th-most field goals. In sum, they allowed the 15th-most points to opposing kickers. There is a lot of random variability when […]

Cam Akers Has Favorable Matchup But Is A Risky Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers goes into a Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons with questions about his usage. Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills, he had only three carries and did not gain positive yardage. Rams coach Sean McVay said that he maintains confidence in Akers and is pushing him to […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. An Exciting Possibility In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. is a hot "start" choice in Week 2 in the  home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing RBs last season and the most total touchdowns to all positions. Because Henderson has a major role in the Rams passing game, […]

Cooper Kupp Has Top WR Matchup In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is a must-start with a favorable home matchup against the weak Atlanta Falcons defense Week 2. Kupp made 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown Week 1 against the tough Buffalo Bills defense. Now he faces a Falcons defense that allowed the sixth most fantasy points to […]
