Biggest Week 2 Busts: Fantasy Football Reactions for Trevor Lawrence, A.J. Brown, Joshua Kelley, Calvin Ridley

The second Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Lukas Van Ness Questionable To Return Sunday

Green Bay Packers linebacker Lukas Van Ness (elbow) is questionable to return in Week 2 versus the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie had logged two tackles before exiting the contest. Kingsley Enagbare and Justin Hollins will earn more snaps in Van Ness' absence.

Nick Scott Won't Return Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals safety Nick Scott (concussion) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old had logged nine tackles prior to exiting Sunday's contest. Jordan Battle should see more snaps at strong safety until Scott is able to return.

Darnell Mooney Questionable To Return Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) is questionable to return in Week 2 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After totaling 53 yards and one touchdown during the season opener, he had failed to log a single target prior to exiting this Sunday. Some combination of Chase Claypool, Velus Jones Jr., and Equanimeous St. Brown […]

Micah Hyde Questionable To Return Sunday

Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. Given Buffalo's sizable lead, it would be a bit surprising to see him check back in on Sunday. Cam Lewis will likely see more snaps until Hyde can return.

Greg Zuerlein Inactive For Week 2

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) is officially inactive for Week 2 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He had been ruled out on Saturday, prompting the Jets to sign Austin Seibert as a temporarily fill-in. Seibert isn't on the fantasy radar.

David Montgomery Officially Questionable To Return Sunday

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (right knee) is questionable to return against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. He was carted to the locker room with a wrap on his right knee in the second half of Sunday's game. Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs will handle the bulk of opportunities out of the backfield until Montgomery […]

Ryan Kelly Ruled Out Sunday

Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 2 versus the Houston Texans. The talented starter has been a key staple of the Colts' offensive line. Wesley French will log snaps at center in his absence.

Zay Jones Returns Sunday Afternoon

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) exited in the first half of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The team listed him as questionable, but he was able to return to the field in the second half. Jones will continue to operate behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk going forward.

David Montgomery Carted To Locker Room Sunday

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (right knee) was carted to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's game versus the Seattle Seahawks. He was spotted with a wrap on his right knee after exiting. Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs will handle the bulk of opportunities out of the backfield until Montgomery is able to […]

Brandin Cooks Officially Inactive Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is officially inactive for Week 2 versus the New York Jets. The veteran played 59 percent of offensive snaps in his Cowboys debut last week, hauling in two of four targets for 22 yards. Michael Gallup, Jake Ferguson, and Jalen Tolbert should see more opportunities in Cooks' absence, […]

Breece Hall Suiting Up In Week 2

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He had been listed as questionable but was expected to play after practicing in full on Friday. The expectation is that Hall will have some sort of snap count, similar to Week 1. Of course, that didn't hold […]

Budda Baker Inactive For Week 2

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report Friday. His absence will be felt as the Cardinals enter Week 2 as underdogs. Andre Chachere is expected to start at free safety in his absence.

Wan'Dale Robinson, Azeez Ojulari Inactive Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and defensive end Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) are inactive for Week 2 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Both players had been listed as doubtful, so their absence Sunday comes as no surprise. Darren Waller is the only Giants pass-catcher who can be trusted in fantasy football at the moment. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Won't Return In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He exited after catching three passes for 29 yards. In the veteran's absence, the Ravens passing game will revolve around Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor.

Puka Nacua Officially Active Sunday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) is officially active for Week 2 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Nacua was arguably the biggest breakout player of Week 1, hauling in 10 of 15 targets for 119 yards. We don't know […]

Austin Ekeler Could Return In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) "has a chance" to play in Week 3, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The star playmaker has already been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Titans, catapulting Joshua Kelley into the lead-back role. Ekeler, who totaled 154 scrimmage yards and one touchdown during the Chargers' season […]

C.J. Stroud On Track To Play Week 2

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (shoulder) is expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 despite being listed as questionable, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie popped up on the injury report Friday but should be ready to suit up Sunday. He completed 28 passes for 242 yards in his debut last […]

Mark Andrews Expected To Play In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quad) is expected to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The star tight end went from missing the season opener to practicing in full this past Friday. His return bodes well for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' offense […]

Should I Start Nico Collins in Week 2? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

The general rule of thumb is to avoid players on bad offenses, but there are times where exceptions can be made. One example is this year's Houston Texans, who roster fantasy-relevant players in Dameon Pierce and Nico Collins despite having one of the NFL's lowest-ranked offenses. Heading into Week 2, it's time for fantasy football […]

Should I Start Tyler Allgeier in Week 2? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

After some questions about how the Atlanta Falcons would distribute opportunities among their running backs, fantasy football managers gained some much-needed clarity in Week 1 and should view both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as fantasy-relevant options ahead of Week 2. The Falcons take on the Green Bay Packers at 1:00 p.m. EST on Sunday. […]

Chad Ryland - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland is not a viable fantasy option heading into Week 2 versus the Miami Dolphins. The team transitioned from veteran Nick Folk to Ryland at the end of training camp, and the rookie had a quiet debut in Week 1, going 2-for-2 on extra points while never attempting a field […]

Patriots Defense Difficult To Trust In Week 2

The New England Patriots' defense is worth avoiding in fantasy football ahead of their Week 2 clash with the Miami Dolphins. Although the Patriots' defense is normally considered one of the premier units in football, their upcoming matchup offers a daunting task. Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa tossed for 466 yards last Sunday while receiver Tyreek […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki gets his chance for a revenge game on Sunday Night Football versus the Miami Dolphins. However, the 27-year-old was clearly New England's No. 2 tight end behind Hunter Henry last week, so just how much Gesicki can get involved in Week 2 remains to be seen. He's a […]

Hunter Henry - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has emerged as a top-12 option in fantasy football. The 28-year-old was a reliable target for Mac Jones last Sunday, hauling in five of six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown. In the Week 2 edition of Monday Night Football, he'll face the Miami Dolphins in what […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is on the fantasy radar ahead of Sunday Night Football versus the Miami Dolphins. Bourne operated as the Patriots' top receiver last week, hauling in six of 11 targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns. He's squarely in the mix to be the team's top option again in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster should be benched in most fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday Night Football versus the Miami Dolphins. Originally signed to be New England's No. 1 receiver, Smith-Schuster was out-performed by Kendrick Bourne and Demario Douglas last week, and new reports indicate the former Steeler and Chief has slid down […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott will continue to operate behind Rhamondre Stevenson on Sunday night versus Miami. With a fairly restricted workload, his fantasy production will likely depend on finding the end zone. While signed to take New England's short-yardage carries, Elliott did lose a fumble last week, which could put him in […]

Rhamondre Stevenson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson might lose some rushing opportunities to Ezekiel Elliott versus Miami on Sunday night, but he'll still be called upon for a significant role in the passing attack. Stevenson hauled in all six of his targets last week and has been the Patriots' most reliable pass-catcher at times over […]
