Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 1

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock played well enough to be re-signed by the team this offseason, but his fantasy upside is capped by an offense that isn't projected to be a high-scoring unit. Kickers always have wide a range of outcomes, but this game against the New York Giants does not set up to be […]

Austin Hooper Not An Attractive Week 1 Streamer

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper might have touchdown upside in an offense with a lot of uncertainty at wide receiver, but he's not viewed as a strong option in Week 1. The volume is not likely to be there for Hooper and the New York Giants gave up the 10th-fewest fantasy points to the […]

Treylon Burks Has A Low Floor In Season Opener

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks will eventually get opportunities to be fantasy-relevant in his rookie season, but he's far from a sure thing in his NFL debut. After an up-and-down preseason, Burks is listed as a backup on the Titans' depth chart, but he will at least be on the field in three-wide sets. […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A Deep-League Option In Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is listed as the starting wide receiver opposite of Robert Woods for Week 1 against the Giants. However, Tennessee has been one of the most run-heavy teams over the last three seasons and is expected to do the same in 2022. Westbrook-Ikhine will likely draw career-high targets this season, […]

Texans Defense Not On Fantasy Radar

The Houston Texans defense ranked 22nd in both passing and rushing DVOA last season and faces a tough task in Week 1 this season against the Colts. The last time these teams met, the Colts won 31-0, with Taylor rushing for 143 yards and two touchdowns. With an improved passing game this year led by […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Has Little Upside In Week 1

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is unlikely to have much fantasy impact in 2022, mainly because the Houston offense doesn't project to move the ball well enough for Fairbairn to get opportunities. Last season, Fairbairn attempted just 19 field goals and 16 extra points. He made a career-low 78.9% of his field goal attempts and […]

Derrick Henry Poised For Big Day

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has been a polarizing player in preseason drafts, but he's back to automatic starter status in 2022. After breaking his foot last season, he was disappointing in the AFC divisional game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, preseason reports have been positive, and he'll likely handle a large workload from […]

Brevin Jordan Not On Week 1 Fantasy Radar

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan has a lot of athletic upside, but that doesn't mean fantasy managers should be looking at him as an option this week. While he's the biggest name when it comes to Texans tight ends, Pharaoh Brown and O.J. Howard are on the team as well, and we won't really […]

Nico Collins A Risky Week 1 Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was a popular sleeper this offseason and showed some nice rapport in the preseason with quarterback Davis Mills. However, this doesn't mean that fantasy managers should fire him up for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Collins could very well end up being a valuable fantasy play […]

Ryan Tannehill A Risky Starter In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a wide range of outcomes as the Titans host the Giants in Week 1. Tannehill lost A.J. Brown and Julio Jones in the offseason and welcomes Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, and Austin Hooper to his offense. The pass-catchers in place all have upside, but it might take time for […]

Brandin Cooks Opens 2022 As Texans Best Fantasy Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is arguably the only Texans player who fantasy managers can trust heading into the 2022 season. The Colts have a much better run defense than pass defense, so expect Houston to go to the air often, with Cooks expected to be the beneficiary of that. Last season, he was […]

Rex Burkhead A Risky Week 1 Play

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead could see a lot of work in the passing game this season, but there's too much uncertainty around the veteran running back for him to be in fantasy lineups in Week 1. The Colts were a strong run defense last year, which could theoretically boost Burkhead over teammate Dameon […]

Dameon Pierce Starts Career With Tough Matchup

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce was a popular sleeper in the preseason, but fantasy managers might want to consider leaving him on the bench in Week 1 against the Colts. Indianapolis ranked third in DVOA against the run last season and the Texans will likely be playing from behind in this one, limiting […]

Davis Mills Faces Tough Start To Season

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is set to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. The Colts were 17th in DVOA against the pass last year, so the matchup here isn't terrible for Mills, but in the early going, it's tough to justify playing Mills unless he has an even […]

Robert Woods Opens Season As WR1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods looks to be Ryan Tannehill's No. 1 option in the passing game early on in 2022. Treylon Burks had an up-and-down preseason campaign and is currently listed behind Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on the Titans' depth chart. Woods will face off with the New York Giants in his first game with […]

Sterling Shepard To Be A Game-Time Decision

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) will be a game-time decision on Sunday for the Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Shepard will probably do a pre-game workout before inactives are released so the Giants can make a final decision. The 29-year-old pass-catcher is less than […]

Logan Thomas Questionable For Week 1

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 of the regular season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thomas has made significant progress after he tore his ACL last season. He first took part in seven-on-seven drills on Aug. 24 and was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday of […]

Mac Jones, Patriots Offense Could Struggle

The New England Patriots offense looked out of sorts for most of training camp this summer. They had issues with basic plays, and their offensive line struggled to block. It's not a huge surprise after former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels left the team to coach the Las Vegas Raiders. We should never question head coach […]

Amani Hooker Agrees To Three-Year Extension

The Tennessee Titans agreed to a three-year contract extension with safety Amani Hooker for more than $33 million on Friday, according to sources. Hooker was a full-time starter in 2021 and is on the rise. The 24-year-old will receive a $10 million signing bonus and a guarantee of $19.5 million. Hooker had a career-high 62 […]

Eagles Defense - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Philadelphia Eagles defense opens the regular season on the road against the Detroit Lions. The Eagles made multiple additions this offseason, including LB Haasan Reddick, CB James Bradberry, LB Kyzir White, S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, rookie DT Jordan Davis, and rookie LB Nakobe Dean. The upgraded back seven should go a long way at defending […]

Duane Brown Ruled Out For Week 1

New York Jets offensive tackle Duane Brown (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Week 1 regular season opener this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens due to a shoulder injury. The Jets aren't ruling out the idea that he will ultimately have to go on Injured Reserve. Gang Green's offensive line will now be without […]

Jake Elliott - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will travel to Detroit to open the regular season. The sixth-year kicker had his best season to date in 2021, making 30 of 33 field goal attempts and hitting on all 44 of his extra-point attempts. He could start the season hot Sunday as Philadelphia will look to be in […]

Michael Carter "The Heartbeat" Of Jets Offense

New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur called running back Michael Carter "the heartbeat of our offense." It's not exactly what you want to hear if you have a lot of fantasy football shares of rookie Breece Hall, who is fully expected to take over the lead-back role in New York in 2022 sooner than […]

Kyren Williams Could Miss Up To Six Weeks

Los Angeles Rams promising rookie running back Kyren Williams (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain early in the first quarter of the 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night and could be sidelined up to six weeks, according to a source. It's a tough blow to the Rams' running back depth and for […]

Quez Watkins - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins will start in the slot Sunday on the road against the Detroit Lions. While teammate Zach Pascal occupied this role in Indianapolis last season, Watkins won the starting job during training camp. The matchup for the third-year receiver is a good one. Detroit allowed 22.7 fantasy points per game […]

Kenneth Gainwell - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell opens the season on the road against the Detroit Lions Sunday. Detroit is a great matchup, as they allowed the second-most points per game to the running back position in 2021. However, Gainwell will occupy the role of the passing downs back for Philadelphia with Miles Sanders (hamstring) practicing […]

Dak Prescott Will Play Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that the plan is for quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) to be a full participant in practice on both Friday and Saturday. "I don't have any concern about him playing Sunday," McCarthy said. The Cowboys open their 2022 season with a Sunday night showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, […]

Dallas Goedert - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert opens the regular season on the road against the Detroit Lions. It is a favorable matchup for the fifth-year tight end. Detroit allowed the fifth-most receptions to the tight end position in 2021. The Lions made no additions of note to their linebacker corps, meaning Goedert should have a […]

Ravens, Lamar Jackson Cannot Reach Deal On Extension

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said that no deal was reached with quarterback Lamar Jackson by Friday's deadline to come to a long-term contract extension. Talks will continue after the 2022 season. Jackson will play this season on the final year of his rookie deal instead. The 25-year-old signal-caller will become a free agent […]

DeVonta Smith - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith starts the regular season with a great fantasy matchup on the road against the Detroit Lions. No longer having to deal with top coverage from opposing defenses due to the offseason addition of A.J. Brown, the sophomore receiver will have a chance to use his 4.27 speed against No. […]
