Marquez Valdes-Scantling's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught all four of his targets last week against the Cardinals, finishing with 44 yards. MVS's main appeal this season is as a deep threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but the Chiefs had last week's game in hand and didn't really need him to play that role. In […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster saw a major role in the Chiefs offense in Week 1 and should continue to see that happen on Thursday night against the Chargers. Smith-Schuster was targeted eight times in the opener, catching six passes for 79 yards. While the rest of this receiving corps is confusing so […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught a pair of touchdowns in Week 1 and will now look to follow that up with a big game on Thursday night against the Chargers. CEH had just seven carries and three receptions in the opener, but he made a big impact. He won't enjoy those kind […]

Travis Kelce In Good Spot For Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains a must-start fantasy tight end heading into Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kelce was targeted nine times last week, catching eight of them for 121 yards and a touchdown. Kelce is quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top weapon this season and we should expect Mahomes to […]

Pierre Strong Jr. Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The Patriots placed running back Ty Montgomery (knee) on the injured reserve Wednesday, sidelining him for at least three games. The 23-year-old could see an uptick in usage but remains behind top options, Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. According to Mike […]

Brevin Jordan Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He caught one of two targets for five yards during the Week 1 tie with the Indianapolis Colts. The 22-year-old was second among all Houston's tight ends with 42 snaps. Pharaoh Brown led the team with 46 snaps while O.J. Howard […]

Van Jefferson Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday. The 26-year-old remains day-to-day as he continues to work his way back from offseason knee surgery. Unless he can practice in some fashion this week, Van Jefferson is not expected to suit up in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. Ben Skowronek will serve […]

Joshua Kelley - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley will take the field after a short week for a Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both Kelley and Sony Michel were involved last week and took some touches away from starter Austin Ekeler. Kelley was even utilized as a receiving option as he hauled in […]

KJ Hamler Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee, hip) didn't practice on Wednesday. He was questionable heading into Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks with knee and hip injuries but ended up suiting up. The 23-year-old logged 40 snaps but was unable to secure his only target. Hamler is third on the WR depth chart behind […]

Dustin Hopkins - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins will look to get back on track in Week 2 after missing one of his two field goal attempts in Week 1. The Chargers take on the division rival Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night in what projects to be a high-scoring affair. Despite a shaky start to the […]

Lamar Jackson Done Talking About Contract

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is officially finished talking about his contract situation. "Respectfully, I'm done talking about it," Jackson said. "I told you guys before, I was going to be done with it Week 1. Week 1 is over with. We're done talking about it. I'm focused on the Dolphins now." The 25-year-old recently […]

Chargers Defense - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams had a solid fantasy performance in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but have an even more challenging matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. The talent on the Chargers defense shined last week as they recorded six sacks and forced three interceptions from Derek Carr. […]

Kenneth Walker III Practices In Full On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) practiced in full Wednesday. He had surgery for a hernia in mid-August and was inactive for Monday's Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos. "Kenny Walker is going to be out there this week for us to add to that, said head coach Pete Carroll. The 21-year-old […]

DeAndre Carter - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter will once again have a great opportunity in a Week 2 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs. Carter saw four targets and scored a touchdown in Week 1 with Keenan Allen (hamstring) leaving in the first half. Allen has now been ruled out of Thursday night's contest, so […]

Gerald Everett - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett will look to build off his success in Week 1 in a Week 2 divisional matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Everett capitalized on the absence of Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and the early exit from Keenan Allen (hamstring) last week and should benefit once again as both […]

Joshua Palmer Is An Exciting Week 2 Option

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was a non-factor in Week 1, but will likely operate as the team's clear WR2 in a Week 2 clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. With Keenan Allen (hamstring) ruled out, Palmer's opportunity to validate the preseason hype he received has arrived. In one contest without Allen last […]

Mike Williams Has Big Opportunity In Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams only garnered two receptions on four targets in Week 1 but should be primed for a much greater opportunity in Week 2 with Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined. The Chargers' matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs is currently projected to be the highest-scoring game of the week. It's hard […]

Austin Ekeler Will Look To Bounce Back In Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler had an underwhelming Week 1 performance and will look to get back on track against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. There was a surprising amount of utilization for Sony Michel and Joshua Kelley in Los Angeles' season opener, but Ekeler still saw the most targets out […]

Alex Leatherwood Placed On NFI List

The Chicago Bears placed former first-round offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood (illness) on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday, putting him out for at least the next four weeks. Leatherwood is dealing with mononucleosis, but head coach Matt Eberflus said, "We feel great about where he is and him coming back." The 23-year-old was inactive in […]

Justin Herbert - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will take the field for the second time in five days for a Week 2 divisional showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 1, Herbert proved worthy of his QB2 average draft position as he completed 26 of 34 pass attempts for 279 yards and three touchdowns. Herbert […]

Texans Try Out La'Mical Perine

The Houston Texans tried out free-agent running back La'Mical Perine on Wednesday. Perine landed with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason after he was waived by the New York Jets, but he was then released from Philly's practice squad just last week. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder received 72 carries for 263 yards and two touchdowns while […]

49ers Sign Willie Snead To Practice Squad

The San Francisco 49ers signed wide receiver Willie Snead to their practice squad on Wednesday. Snead will return to the team's practice squad after he was released by the team at the beginning of August. The 29-year-old veteran pass-catcher played in nine games with the Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, catching only […]

Broncos Put Justin Simmons On Injured Reserve

The Denver Broncos placed All-Pro safety Justin Simmons (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted cornerback Essang Bassey to the active roster in a corresponding move. Simmons, who was injured in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, will now miss at least the next four games. The 28-year-old had nine […]

Brandon Bolden Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Before his injury in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Bolden played 28% of the snaps behind starter Josh Jacobs and carried the ball three times for seven yards, adding two receptions for 21 yards […]

Damien Williams Unable To Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams (ribs) missed most of the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a rib injury, and he wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. The good news is that Williams was able to return late in the season-opening loss, but he finished with just two carries for two […]

Van Jefferson's Status Hasn't Changed Much

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said wide receiver Van Jefferson's (knee) status "is similar to what it has been." Jefferson remains day-to-day, but it sounds like he hasn't made any progress in his rehab from offseason knee surgery. Barring a dramatic change in his status later this week, Jefferson is all but certain […]

Mac Jones Practices In Full Wednesday

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice despite dealing with back spasms after the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins. It's a good sign that he'll be available to start in Week 2 this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Barring a setback, the 24-year-old second-year signal-caller […]

Jameis Winston On The Week 2 Injury Report

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday with a back injury, which is why he went into the injury tent in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints don't sound too worried about Winston's injury after he went 23-for-34 for 269 yards, two […]

J.K. Dobbins Practices In Full

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) took a big step forward on Wednesday by being a full participant in practice. Dobbins didn't play in the Week 1 win over the New York Jets after being limited in practice all week. The Ravens aren't going to rush him back coming off a torn ACL before […]

J.J. Watt Misses Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) was forced to miss practice on Wednesday after being sidelined in Week 1. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury stated that the team would not expect to have a clear idea of Watt's availability until later in the week. The Cardinals were one of only three teams to not record […]
