Jimmy Graham A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will be back on the fantasy radar heading into Week 2 against the Giants.

Anthony Miller Hoping For Consistency Against Giants

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller came alive in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 1 comeback win over the Lions and will try and keep it going against the Giants this week.

Tarik Cohen's Value Capped Heading Into Week 2

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen made some solid contributions in Week 1, picking up 41 rushing yards on only seven carries in Week 1. Cohen will face a Giants Defense in Week 2 that allowed 149 rushing yards to the Steelers last week and allowed a 74.7% completion percentage to opposing backs in the […]

David Montgomery A Risky RB2 Option

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will go up against a Giants Defense that allowed 141 rushing yards to the Steelers in Week 1. Montgomery came into the opener questionable with a groin injury but looked fairly healthy against Lions while leading the team with 13 carries for 64 yards. The Giants can certainly be […]

Mitchell Trubisky Could Deliver Again Against Giants

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will have another favorable matchup against a leaky Giants secondary in Week 2. New York worked hard trying to revamp their defense in the offseason but still were burned by the Steelers for three passing touchdowns in Week 1. Enter Trubisky, who was awful for three quarters against the Lions […]

Kyle Rudolph Off The Fantasy Radar

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph will go up against a Colts Defense in Week 2 that allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2019. Rudolph caught only two passes for 28 yards in the opener and really has faded into the background on offense the past few seasons. Rudolph posted only 367 […]

Justin Jefferson Waiting His Turn

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to build off his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Colts. Jefferson caught two passes for 26 yards against the Packers and was slotted in the Vikings offense as the third receiver.

Hard To Trust Bisi Johnson Week 2

Adam Thielen Ready To Keep It Rolling In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen enjoyed a fantastic Week 1 and will look to keep it going against the Colts in Week 2. Thielen caught six passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers and now will face a Colts Defense that was put on its heels, at times, against the Jaguars […]

Dalvin Cook An Easy RB1 Choice Against Colts

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will look to build off a solid, if unspectacular, Week 1 performance against the Packers this week against the Colts. Cook racked up only 50 rushing yards but punched in two touchdowns in the season opener. Cook can break loose at any moment but will go up against a […]

Kirk Cousins Poised For Favorable Week 2 Matchup

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will try and get his season going against the Colts in Week 2.

Danny Amendola Should Be Active Against Green Bay

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola could be in line for more targets against the Packers in Week 2. After leading the team with 81 receiving yards in Week 1, Amendola could be in line for a larger role if teammate Kenny Golladay (hamstring) can't play. The veteran receiver was not able to produce against […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Has WR3/4 Value Against Packers

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. could be a main target of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's once again in Week 2 against the Packers. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) missing practice again Wednesday, Jones Jr. quickly could be the main target in the Lions offense. The Packers allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to receiver's […]

Adrian Peterson In Line To Be Lead Back In Week 2

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson should be in line to see the majority of the backfield touches Week 2 against the Packers. Peterson totaled 93 yards on 14 carries Week 1 and galvanized the offense at times with some tough, gritty runs between the tackles. The 35-year-old is no spring chicken but still has […]

D'Andre Swift Hopes To Put Debut Behind Him

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will try and put last week behind him when the team takes on the Packers in Week 2. It was an NFL debut to forget, posting only 23 all-purpose yards and dropping the game-winning touchdown with :06 left to play against the Bears. The drop cost the Lions the […]

Matthew Stafford Could Struggle Again In Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will face another NFC North rival in Week 2 against the Packers. Stafford passed for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the team's loss to the Bears in Week 1 but completed only 57.1% of his passes.

Kenny Golladay Unable To Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday, casting further doubt on his availability for Week 2 against the Packers.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Rising Among The Fantasy Ranks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling will have an excellent matchup in Week 2 against the Lions. Valdes-Scantling stepped up last week against the Vikings, catching four passes for 96 yards and one touchdown. Now he will go up against an injury-plagued secondary with the Lions and has an opportunity to post a solid […]

Davante Adams Could Feast On Lions

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will look to stay hot against the Lions in Week 2. Adams exploded for 14 receptions, 156 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings in Week 1. Now he will face a Lions team decimated by injuries, especially in their secondary. Detroit was burned consistently in the fourth […]

Aaron Jones Has Favorable Week 2 Matchup

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have an appealing matchup Week 2 against the Lions. Detroit allowed 149 total rushing yards to the Bears last week and allowed the seventh most fantasy points to running backs in 2019. Jones posted 66 rushing yards with one touchdown in Week 1 and will go up […]

Aaron Rodgers Rises To QB1 Status For Week 2

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers may have been on the outside looking in during fantasy drafts, but he will be a QB1 option against the Lions in Week 2.

Justin Jefferson Catches Two Passes In Debut

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught two passes for 26 yards in his NFL debut against the Packers in Week 1.

Bisi Johnson Adds 56 Receiving Yards In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson caught three passes for 56 yards in the team's 43-34 loss to the Packers in Week 1.

Adam Thielen Shines In Week 1 Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught six passes for a team-high 110 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings 43-34 loss to the Packers. Thielen saw eight targets in the game, most importantly a 19-yard and 37-yard receptions for touchdowns. After an injury-plagued season in 2019, Thielen is off to an elite start. The […]

Kirk Cousins Passes For 259 Yards In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 19-of-25 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Vikings disheartening 43-34 loss to the Packers. It was a choppy start for the Vikings offense and Cousins was sacked in the end zone for a safety in the first half. The veteran quarterback did lead the […]

Dalvin Cook Punches In Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 12 times for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings 43-34 loss to the Packers in Week 1. It was tough sledding at times for the dynamic runner but still converted on two short-yardage chances for two scores. Cook was the touches timeshare over teammate […]
