George Kittle Questionable To Play Sunday
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was limited in practice all week long and could be a true game-time decision. The 29-year-old is dominant when healthy, but that qualifier is key. Kittle has missed 18 games over the last three […]

Treylon Burks Removed From Injury Report, Will Play Week 1
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 1. This comes as no surprise after Burks practiced in full all week long. He'll start opposite DeAndre Hopkins, making them both WR3/FLEX options in fantasy football. Tennessee is taking on the Saints, who have a […]

Zack Moss Officially Questionable For Week 1
Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (arm) is listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week long. At this point, Moss' status is up in the air, and he could be a true game-time decision. If Moss does play, he's expected to operate in a committee […]

Kendre Miller Does Not Practice Friday, Questionable For Week 1
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans despite not practicing at all this week. It's a bit surprising to see the Saints are leaving the door open for Miller, a rookie, to play after failing to practice for three consecutive days, but perhaps […]

Marquise Brown, Zach Ertz Questionable For Week 1
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) and tight end Zach Ertz (knee) are listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. The two playmakers both practiced in a limited capacity all week long, offering very little insight into whether they'll be available for Sunday's game. Between the uncertainty of their statuses and […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable To Play Week 1
Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh), who is listed at the "joker" position on the team's official depth chart, is officially questionable for Week 1. The fact that he has been a limited participant in practice all week long offers very little insight into whether he may or may not play. With that said, […]

Darren Waller Questionable For Giants Debut
New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He popped up on the injury report Friday after practicing in a limited capacity. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his status heading into Sunday's games, but the Giants' 8:20 p.m. ET […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Doubtful For Week 1
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after being limited in practice all week long. Injuries held Robinson to just six games as a rookie last year, and although he caught 23 passes for 227 yards, he should be avoided in fantasy football until he […]

Rashod Bateman At Full Speed, Ready To Play Sunday
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is "full speed and ready to go," head coach John Harbaugh told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Bateman hasn't played since Week 8 last season when he suffered a Lisfranc injury that required surgery. The Ravens' receiver room is a little more crowded now than it was then, […]

Chase Young Questionable To Play Week 1
Washington Commanders pass rusher Chase Young (stinger) is officially questionable to play Week 1 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Young has been dealing with the stinger for a while now, which is a little surprising considering this type of injury tends to be short-lived. Nevertheless, there's a chance it could hold Young out of action Sunday. […]

Terry McLaurin Cleared To Play Week 1
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (toe) practiced in full for the second consecutive day and has been removed from the injury report. He will play in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Given Arizona's lackluster expectations heading into the season, Washington has a chance to put up some major production on Sunday, and McLaurin […]

Adam Thielen Returns To Practice, Questionable For Week 1
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after being sidelined on Thursday. He is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. With DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) ruled out, Thielen should see an uptick in volume this week. The same goes for Jonathan Mingo, […]

DJ Chark Jr. Ruled Out For Week 1
Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after being sidelined the last two days. However, Chark has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. His absence should lead to significant volume for Adam Thielen (ankle), who is listed as questionable, Jonathan Mingo, Terrace […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Dealing With Stomach Bug, Should Play Sunday
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) missed Friday's practice due to a stomach bug, according to Karen Guregian of MassLive. However, the expectation is that Stevenson will play Sunday versus Philadelphia. The Oklahoma product emerged as a strong dual-threat option last season, amassing 1,040 rushing and 421 receiving yards en route to finishing […]

Cooper Kupp IR Stint Is "Definite Possibility"
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) could be placed on injured reserve this Saturday. When asked about Kupp potentially requiring an IR stint, head coach Sean McVay said, "I would say there is a definite possibility." We should find out by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday whether the Rams make this move. If […]

Romeo Doubs Questionable For Week 1 Versus Bears
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. He was unable to practice on Wednesday before upgrading to a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. Green Bay will hope he can suit up since Christian Watson (hamstring) has already been ruled out. Regardless […]

Christian Watson Ruled Out For Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. He was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to the injury and evidently won't be healthy in time for kickoff on Sunday. With Romeo Doubs (hamstring) questionable, we could see a heavy reliance […]

Dax Milne Placed On Injured Reserve
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne (groin) has been placed on injured reserve. He had missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, making it highly unlikely he'd be available for Week 1. Now, with his placement on IR, he's ineligible to return until Week 5 at the earliest. Milne wasn't a major contributor in the passing […]

Joe Flacco Hoping To Sign With NFL Team
Free agent quarterback Joe Flacco is still looking for an NFL contract and believes teams will be interested in signing him once the season begins. "I can still play," he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "When people are really pressed to win some games, if they have to call on somebody, then they'd be more […]

Kadarius Toney Still Has Quarterback's Trust
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney struggled on Thursday night, catching just one of five targets for one yard. He also had three drops, including one that went into the hands of a Lions defender and resulted in a pick-six. Despite Toney's costly mistakes in the 21-20 loss, quarterback Patrick Mahomes emphasized that he […]

Tank Dell To Return Punts In Season Opener
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is not listed as a starter on the team's official pre-Week 1 depth chart. Instead, Robert Woods will start opposite Nico Collins, with Dell presumably third in the pecking order. Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports that Dell will operate as the primary punt returner ahead of […]

Dolphins Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1
The Miami Dolphins' defense should be avoided in all fantasy leagues as they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. Not only did Miami's already-mediocre unit lose some of its firepower following a meniscus injury to Jalen Ramsey, but the Chargers' offense is quite dominant with the likes of Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler, […]

Jason Sanders A Fringe Fantasy Option In Week 1
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a borderline top-12 fantasy kicker heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sanders was solid at times last season, but never enough to solidify himself as a stable fantasy option week in and week out. Heading into the 2023 campaign, Sanders' upside gets a boost thanks to […]

Durham Smythe Not On Fantasy Radar
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe is not a viable fantasy option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Smythe is listed first on the depth chart following Mike Gesicki's offseason departure, the 28-year-old needs to show a steady flow of production in the passing game before he can even be considered […]

Jaylen Waddle Opens 2023 With Impressive Upside
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (oblique) is a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite being second on the depth chart behind Tyreek Hill, Waddle has shown time and time again that he can carve out his own role in the offense. Even while catching […]

Tyreek Hill Opens Season As High-End WR1
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is a must-start option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 29-year-old is coming off a huge season in which he tallied 1,710 yards and finished as the overall WR2 despite Tua Tagovailoa missing significant time due to head injuries. Likely lining up against Asante Samuel […]

De'Von Achane Should Be Avoided In Week 1
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) should be left on the bench in most fantasy leagues as he gears up for his NFL debut versus the Los Angeles Chargers. While Achane has earned significant hype and is a glaring dynasty "buy," there's less optimism about his immediate value and production. Miami is expected to […]

Raheem Mostert Can Be Started In A Pinch
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is listed atop the depth chart heading into Week 1 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. However, given Miami's focus on passing the ball as well as the presence of up-and-coming rookie De'Von Achane, Mostert is certainly not a must-start in fantasy football. Rather, fantasy managers should only start him […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Top-12 Upside Thanks To Receivers, Matchup
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 1. He's taking on a Los Angeles Chargers secondary that produced a 74.6 PFF grade last season and ranks 14th in the NFL (per PFF) heading into 2023. The unit isn't bad, but it's certainly not strong enough to consider sitting Tagovailoa […]

From the pre-pick anticipation to finally pulling the trigger on one of your favorite studs, this can be a dream come true.
