Aaron Rodgers Has Stiff Week 1 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have a tough first test Week 1 against the division-rival Vikings.

T.J. Hockenson Ready To Take Next Step

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will have an intriguing matchup Week 1 against the Bears that may give him some sleeper value in deeper leagues.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will look to get his season off on the right foot against a tough Bears Defense in Week 1.

Matthew Stafford Could Underwhelm Week 1

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford enters the 2020 season with plenty of bounce-back buzz but could underwhelm in Week 1.

Young players struggling out of the gate is nothing […]

Anthony Rendon In 4-For-22 Skid

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will be looking for some home cooking when the Angels host the Astros on Friday.

Tarik Cohen's Value On The Rise

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen's value will be on the rise heading into fantasy draft's this weekend, as it looks increasingly possible that starter David Montgomery misses Week 1 with a groin injury.

Kirk Cousins Aiming To Take Next Step

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins may not be drafted as a QB1 in upcoming drafts, but the Vikings are banking on him having an elite season.

Jimmy Graham Gaining Sleeper Value

Anthony Miller Has Plenty To Prove

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will have a lot on the line as he prepares to take the field in 2020.

Bisi Johnson Carving Out A Role In Vikings Offense

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson continues to carve out a role for himself heading into the 2020 season.

Adam Thielen Ready For Tons Of Targets
