Justin Herbert A High-End QB1 In Home Opener

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will begin his third season with a home divisional matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert finished as the QB2 in 2021 and should be a fixture in your fantasy lineup this season. The Raiders allowed over 17 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position last year and […]

Aaron Jones - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones heads to Minnesota to open the regular season. The sixth-year back could be in for a significant workload with wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) officially doubtful for Sunday's game. Jones was targeted 65 times in 2021 and was one of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets down the stretch […]

Aaron Rodgers - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers opens the regular season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. The reigning MVP no longer has star wide receiver Davante Adams and will likely be without Allen Lazard (ankle) as he is officially doubtful for Sunday's matchup. It leaves Rodgers with Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, and Romeo Doubs […]

Eddy Pineiro Not Worth A Fantasy Start In Week 1

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro will make his debut for the team in a Week 1 home game against the Cleveland Browns. Pineiro has kicked in a total of 21 games in his four-year career. In his five games with the New York Jets last season, he went eight-for-eight on field goal attempts and nine-for-10 […]

Panthers Defense A Strong Option To Start The Season

The Carolina Panthers defense got off to a hot start last season but was unusable for fantasy during a tough stretch of opponents at the end of the year. Still, there is a lot of talent on the Panthers' defense, which will open the 2022 season against the Cleveland Browns at home. With Jacoby Brissett […]

Andy Isabella Could Be A Deep-League Streaming Option Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella could have some appeal in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rondale Moore (hamstring) will be held out of action, so that could open the door for Isabella to slot in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver option behind Marquise Brown and A.J. Green. The speedy […]

Tommy Tremble's Involvement Worth Monitoring

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble will begin his second season as a pro in a Week 1 home matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Tremble is a good athlete and could eventually produce for fantasy, but success is not usually found quickly for tight ends. Although quarterback Baker Mayfield frequently targeted the tight end position […]

Terrace Marshall Jr.’s Role Uncertain In Week 1

Second-year wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. will take the field for the Carolina Panthers in their Week 1 home opener against the Cleveland Browns. Despite being a second-round NFL Draft selection, Marshall failed to post any meaningful stat lines as a rookie last season. He will have a better opportunity to do so this year […]

Robbie Anderson Not A Fantasy Option In Season Opener

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson will look to bounce back in 2022 after a disappointing season last year. His first chance to do so will be in a Week 1 home bout with the Cleveland Browns. Anderson has been a solid contributor for fantasy in the past and could be a relevant WR3 or […]

DJ Moore Could Start Hot In Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore will enter his fifth season as a pro in a Week 1 home game against the Cleveland Browns. Poor quarterback play has likely held Moore back throughout his career, but he has still managed to post three top-24 WR seasons and has flashed WR1 potential. The Panthers traded for […]

Baker Mayfield Will Seek Revenge In Debut With Panthers

Quarterback Baker Mayfield is set to make his regular-season debut for the Carolina Panthers in a Week 1 home matchup against his former team, the Cleveland Browns. The Browns' defense was bottom-five in passing yards allowed in 2021, so this won't be an easy first test for the Panthers' new signal-caller. Mayfield is coming off […]

Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 1

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert is an uninspiring play in fantasy football, as the Detroit offense isn't expecting to be a high-scoring unit, and Detroit was a bottom-10 team in field goal attempts a season ago. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell is as aggressive as NFL coaches come, as the Lions led the NFL with […]

Lions Defense Not On Fantasy Radar

The Detroit Lions defense ranked dead-last in fantasy points per game last season (3.4) and is matched up with a loaded Philadelphia Eagles offense in Week 1. Additionally, the Eagles allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to D/STs last year. Detroit looks to be a much-improved team, but the defense is still expected to be a […]

Allen Lazard Doubtful For Week 1

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. After not practicing Thursday and Friday, this comes as no surprise that Lazard will likely be held out of action in the season opener. If he is by some chance able to […]

T.J. Hockenson In Line For Large Role

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson missed the last few weeks of the 2021 regular season with a thumb injury but is expected to return to a large role in the Jared Goff-led offense. Hockenson posted a 21-percent target share last season and was the team's de facto No. 1 option before the breakout of […]

Cardinals Sign Markus Golden To One-Year Extension

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Golden has signed a one-year extension worth up to $6.5 million dollars that will keep him under contract through the 2023 season. With the loss of Chandler Jones in the offseason, the Cardinals will rely heavily on Golden, who finished with 11 sacks and 48 tackles (33 solo) last season. The […]

Josh Reynolds Listed As Starter For Detroit

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds will be starting in three-wide sets, so he's worth paying attention to in the early part of the season. Jameson Williams will likely take his spot on the field when he returns from a knee injury, but Reynolds has some worth for now. That said, he looks to be […]

Shaquille Leonard Ruled Out Week 1

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) has been ruled out for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Houston Texans. Despite being listed as a full participant at practice on Wednesday, the All-Pro will need to wait until at least Week 2 against the Jaguars to make his season debut. Leonard underwent offseason back surgery […]

D.J. Chark An Intriguing Deep-League Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark played in just four games last year for the Jaguars after breaking his ankle but looks to be ready to go for Week 1. Chark is an explosive deep-threat who could be considered a boom-or-bust fantasy play in 2022. He's reportedly built strong chemistry with Jared Goff, so he […]

Greedy Williams Headed To Injured Reserve

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greedy Williams (hamstring) has been placed on the Injured Reserve list and will miss a minimum of four games. Following Williams' move to IR, the team signed cornerback Herb Miller off the practice squad to the active roster on Friday. Williams played in 16 games during the 2021 season, putting up 40 […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown A Solid Flex Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown posted a fantastic rookie season with 90 receptions, 912 yards, and five touchdowns last year. However, he did most of his damage when D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson were banged up or out of the lineup, so regression could be coming. For now, he's still worth starting thanks […]

Christian McCaffrey Off The Week 1 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shin) is off the injury report and is good to go for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. McCaffrey suffered a laceration from a cleat in practice and popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday, but was a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers […]

Jamaal Williams A Deep-League Flex Option

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams doesn't warrant consideration in shallow leagues, but for fantasy managers in a pinch at flex in deep leagues, he might be a solid option. D'Andre Swift is expected to be the lead back in the Lions offense, with Williams potentially getting some work in the red zone. His PPR […]

D'Andre Swift A Must-Start In Season Opener

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been a hot name in fantasy football during the offseason and is poised for a breakout year as a top pass-catching back. The Eagles' front-seven looks strong on paper, but Swift should be viewed as an automatic starter in PPR leagues, regardless of matchup. Swift saw an 18.4-percent […]

Rondale Moore Has 50-50 Chance To Play In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) has a 50-50 chance to play on Sunday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Moore apparently suffered the injury running in practice, but there is still optimism he will be able to suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs. The speedy wideout offers some upside as a flex […]

Jared Goff A Low-End QB2 In Week 1

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a handful of strong performances in 2021, but he's still not viewed as an every-week starter in fantasy football. The Lions added D.J. Chark and get T.J. Hockenson back from injury, but until the offense shows promise, it's tough to trust its passing game. The Eagles allowed the 9th-most […]

Drake London's Status Still Uncertain

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has an uncertain status leading up to the team's Week 1 matchup with the New Orleans Saints, as head coach Arthur Smith says a decision on the rookie's status won't be made until after a workout on Saturday. London suffered his knee injury in the preseason opener so […]

Diontae Johnson Will Play In Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (shoulder) says he is good to go for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old was a full participant in practice on Friday but mentioned he will have to deal with some pain tolerance moving forward. After averaging a whopping 10.6 targets per game in […]

Titans Defense A Strong Week 1 Streamer

The Tennessee Titans defense opens up the season with a favorable matchup against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants. Last season, the Giants gave up the third-most fantasy points to D/STs, and led the league with 30 giveaways. Daniel Jones has 49 career turnovers in just 38 games, so Kevin Byard and company will […]

Andy Isabella Could Be Deep-League Streaming Option Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella could have some appeal in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rondale Moore (hamstring) will be held out of action, so that could open the door for Isabella to slot in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver option behind Marquise Brown and A.J. Green. The speedy […]
