Joe Mixon Faces Familiar Foe In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to build off a fantastic 2021-22 campaign with a matchup with Pittsburgh in Week 1. Mixon has had mixed success versus the Steelers over the years. However, in Week 12 of last season, he had his best performance against the AFC North rival, accumulating 165 yards and […]

Parris Campbell A Risky Option For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell has struggled to establish himself through three seasons in the league. The former second round pick has played in a total of 15 games through three seasons with the Colts. The hope is that he can stay healthy and be the No. 2 option for the Colts. Although, he'll […]

Brandon McManus A Borderline Starter In Week 1

Because of an extremely inconsistent Denver Broncos offense last year, kicker Brandon McManus finished tied for 17th in overall fantasy points in standard scoring at his position. But the addition of nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson in 2022 gives the offense a much higher ceiling heading into the Week 1 season opener on Monday […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Has Low-End WR1 Value

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off a strong campaign where he finished with over 1,000 receiving yards last season. The 24-year-old is looking to add onto that season with new quarterback Matt Ryan under center. The expectation is that Pittman will have a heavy workload which should mean increased value. At […]

Nyheim Hines A Possible Flex Option

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is expected to have an increased workload this upcoming season. He is the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor, but will also be the pass-catcher in the backfield. The assumption is that Hines will be heavily involved in this Colts offense. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 1 against […]

Jonathan Taylor Has Excellent Matchup Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was projected as one of the best fantasy players heading into this season. He's coming off a year where he rushed for 1,811 yards with 18 touchdowns in 17 games. The Colts coaching staff mentioned that they do plan on limiting Taylor more this upcoming season. Despite that, Taylor […]

Broncos Defense A High-End Play In Week 1

The Denver Broncos defense will be an excellent high-end fantasy option for a Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Seattle is expected to start two rookies at offensive tackle in first-rounder Charles Cross and third-round right tackle Abraham Lucas. They'll also be facing quarterback Geno Smith, who is considered one of […]

Matt Ryan Has QB1 Upside

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will make his team debut against the Houston Texans in Week 1. The 37-year-old is coming off a below average season where he threw for 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games with the Atlanta Falcons. The expectation is that Ryan will have better fantasy value in Indy. He'll […]

Albert Okwuegbunam A Streaming Option In Week 1

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who caught 33 of 40 targets for 330 yards and two touchdowns in his second NFL season in 2021, has a huge opportunity heading into his third year. The Broncos sent Noah Fant to the Seattle Seahawks in the deal to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson, and rookie third-rounder Greg […]

Jerry Jeudy Has More Potential Heading Into Week 1

The Denver Broncos failed to use wide receiver Jerry Jeudy as a playmaker last year, and he played in only 10 games, leading to a disappointing final line of 38 catches, 467 yards and no touchdowns in his second season. With quarterback Russell Wilson now in town and receiver Tim Patrick (knee) out for the […]

Courtland Sutton A Must-Start In Week 1

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton enters the Week 1 season opener on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks as new quarterback Russell Wilson's top target. The 26-year-old was Wilson's favorite target in training camp and has looked like his 2019 Pro Bowl self, when he caught 72 passes for a career-high 1,112 yards and […]

Melvin Gordon III Hoping To Remain Involved

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III might be the most hated player in fantasy football, at least by managers that have Javonte Williams rostered. The two had exactly 203 carries as they split the backfield right down the middle in 2021, which was a big headache for fantasy managers. Heading into Week 1 on […]

Javonte Williams Looking To Start Strong In Week 1

Denver Broncos second-year running back Javonte Williams has RB1 upside in fantasy heading into his second year in the league. But that's only if the Broncos new coaching staff unleashes him as the true leader of this backfield. The problem is Melvin Gordon III remains in the picture, and head coach Nathaniel Hackett suggested this […]

John Bates Expected To Play On Sunday

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates (calf) practiced fully throughout the week and is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Jaguars. With Logan Thomas (knee) and Cole Turner (hamstring) also banged up, the team may lean more on Bates in Week 1. However, that doesn't mean he'll make a good fantasy option, so […]

Darren Waller Agrees To Extension

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has agreed to a three-year extension. The veteran will earn $51 million in new cash, ending a months-long negotiation process. The 29-year-old has accumulated 3,184 yards and 16 touchdowns off 270 catches during his career. He played only 11 games last season due to injury. However, if Waller […]

Russell Wilson Faces Old Team In Broncos Debut

After recently signing a five-year, $245 million contract extension with the Denver Broncos, quarterback Russell Wilson gets set to make his team debut in Week 1 on Monday night against his former squad, the Seattle Seahawks. In what is expected to be an up-tempo Denver offense with Wilson now in the fold, the 33-year-old veteran […]

Cam Sims Good To Go For Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Cam Sims (concussion) will play on Sunday against Jacksonville. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion during the preseason and spent some time in protocol. With that said, Sims isn't expected to play a substantial role in the offense this season and should remain behind Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson on the depth […]

Salvon Ahmed Questionable For Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (heel) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in the Week 1 regular season opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Ahmed is currently fourth on the team's running back depth chart behind Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Myles Gaskin, so he's […]

Drew Sample Practices In Full On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample was a full participant during Friday's practice, so he should be ready for the AFC North showdown against Pittsburgh. The team didn't list why Sample was on the injury report. However, he did deal with a knee injury over the summer. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old remains behind Hayden Hurst on […]

Russell Gage Likely To Play In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) was listed as questionable for the Week 1 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, but the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud writes that Gage is likely to play despite the questionable tag. Gage was limited in practice all week and has been working with […]

Cole Turner Questionable Against Jags

Washington Commanders tight end Cole Turner (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's opener against the Jaguars. The rookie has looked good this summer, so there is potential for a more prominent role throughout the season. He has practiced in a limited fashion during the week. However, with Logan Thomas (knee) uncertain for Week 1, Turner could […]

Ronnie Stanley Downgraded To Out For Week 1

The Baltimore Ravens downgraded left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) from doubtful to out for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the New York Jets. Stanley put in two limited practices this week, but it wasn't enough for him to gain clearance to play this weekend after coming off season-ending ankle surgery last […]

Jalen Tolbert Not A Lock To Be Active Sunday Night?

105.3 The Fan's Bryan Broaddus said he's heard that Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Jalen Tolbert might be a healthy scratch in the Week 1 season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. CeeDee Lamb has given a lot of praise to Simi Fehoko and Noah Brown, while KeVontae Turpin will be active. […]

Cade Otton Continues To Receive Praise

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton may carve out a bigger role for himself this season. Although head coach Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich have previously stated they will utilize a committee approach, Otton has stood out. The rookie will mostly battle Cameron Brate and Kyle Rudolph this year for Tom Brady's […]

Raiders, Darren Waller Nearing Contract Extension

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller and the team are "closing in" on a contract extension, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Waller has two years remaining on his current deal but is looking to be compensated for his increased productivity over the years. The 29-year-old is coming off a down season, finishing the […]

Patriots Defense Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The New England Patriots defense/special teams will have the task of stopping a new and improved Miami Dolphins offense in Week 1. The Patriots allowed 50 points combined in both games against Miami last year. New England lost some key pieces on defense this offseason with star defensive back J.C. Jackson leaving. Sunday's over/under is […]

Harrison Butker Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Fooball

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is one of the top fantasy kickers heading into Week 1 against the Cardinals. Last season, Butker went 25-for-28 on field goal attempts and 47-for-49 on extra points. You usually want your fantasy kicker to play on a high-powered offense so you can maximize trips onto the other team's […]

Chiefs Defense Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has some talent throughout the lineup, but a Week 1 matchup against a high-powered Cardinals team makes it tough to trust this team when it comes to fantasy. There will be times this season when you want to stream this defense, but most of those times are later in the […]

Nick Folk Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk converted 36 of his 39 field-goal attempts and 42 of his 47 extra-point attempts in 2021. He signed a two-year, $5 million contract to remain with the Patriots during the offseason. The 37-year-old was one of the most reliable kickers in fantasy last year. New England's offense could struggle […]

Travis Kelce Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce faces a tough matchup this week against an Arizona Cardinals defense that allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends last season. Kelce's talent and target share still makes him a top five tight end this week in season-long fantasy leagues though, so don't overthink the […]
