Greg Zuerlein Not A Great Week 1 Option

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a viable starting option in Week 1 lineups. While kicker is the world's most unpredictable fantasy position outside of the very top tier, Zuerlein seems less likely than most other kickers to make an impact in Week 1. With the Jets starting their season with a backup […]

Tyler Conklin Could Surprise In Week 1

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin could be one of the more surprising fantasy assets in Week 1. Conklin has gone undrafted in many leagues but is currently atop the tight end depth chart for the Jets. They also signed C.J. Uzomah and drafted Jeremy Ruckert, but it's been Conklin that has impressed the […]

Cameron Brate, Kyle Rudolph May Not Be Featured Much

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that the tight end production this year will be made up with the wide receivers and running backs without Rob Gronkowski in the picture. That's not good news for Cameron Brate, Kyle Rudolph or rookie Cade Otton. Brate figures to take over most of Gronk's production, especially […]

Colt McCoy Placed On Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Colt McCoy (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted Trace McSorley to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. McCoy will now miss at least the first four games of the regular season after recently suffering a strained calf. With McCoy now out of action […]

Emmanuel Sanders Announces His Retirement

Former Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders officially announced his retirement from professional football on Wednesday. "I gave it my all. Every single rep, every single play, I tried to go 100 percent as hard as I can. And that's why I can hang my hat and say I gave the game […]

J.J. Watt Day-To-Day With Calf Issue

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is day-to-day with a calf injury. He wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. Watt is now 33 years old and is becoming a big injury concern for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. He managed to play in only seven regular season games […]

J.C. Jackson Not Expected To Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is not expected to play in the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Jackson wasn't on the practice field on Monday. The 26-year-old had surgery on his ankle in the middle of August, and he's not quite ready for the start […]

Corey Davis Looks To Regain Relevance In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will look to regain fantasy relevance in a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Davis did well in bursts with Zach Wilson under center last year, but he will be working with Joe Flacco for at least the first four games of the season. He will also […]

Logan Thomas Listed As Limited Wednesday

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Thomas suffered a torn ACL tear last season and was working to return from it all offseason. He recently said that he hopes to return in Week 1 or 2, so he's not necessarily a lock to suit up […]

Garrett Wilson Has Rookie-Year Upside

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson has some big upside heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Wilson reportedly developed a solid rapport with quarterback Joe Flacco, who will start at least the first four games of the season for the Jets. While Wilson did deal with some drops in […]

Brian Robinson Ditches His Crutches

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that the swelling in rookie running back Brian Robinson's knee has gone down "an awful lot" and he's off crutches. Robinson was placed on the Non-Football Injury list after he was shot multiple times in an attempted robbery in D.C. last week. The 23-year-old will be forced to […]

Elijah Moore Looks For A Quick Start In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore should serve as the WR1 for Joe Flacco and the Jets in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. While he was forced to deal with some of the worst quarterback play in the NFL last season, Moore still put up excellent numbers, including over 16 fantasy points per […]

Michael Gallup Goes Through Individual Drills

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) is taking the next step in his rehab process on Wednesday by going through individual drills at practice. Gallup said himself that he won't be ready for Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night and he might not be ready for Week 2 either, but […]

Zach Ertz Back At Practice

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) was back at practice on Wednesday. Ertz is dealing with a lingering calf injury, but the fact that he was able to return to practice on Wednesday is good news for his status for the Week 1 regular season opener this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. For […]

Allen Lazard Won't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Allen Lazard (undisclosed) won't practice on Wednesday after he "got stepped on last week." It remains to be seen if this is an injury that has the potential to keep Lazard sidelined or limited for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against […]

Drake London's Status Won't Be Known Until Later In The Week

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that the team won't know rookie wide receiver Drake London's (knee) Week 1 status against the New Orleans Saints "until the end of the week." London was able to practice on Monday, but they'll see how things progress throughout the week and how much he's able to do. […]

Jaylen Waddle Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) was back at practice on Wednesday and wasn't wearing a leg sleeve. Head coach Mike McDaniel called Waddle limited. Waddle is dealing with an undisclosed lower leg injury heading into Week 1's matchup against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Barring a setback in practice later this week, […]

Michael Carter Still Relevant, At Least For Week 1

New York Jets running back Michael Carter saw his fantasy stock drop precipitously when the Jets used their second-round pick on three-down back Breece Hall. Carter was set to go into the season as the Jets RB1, but he will now be part of a timeshare, at best, and a change-of-pace/backup option at worst. At […]

Breece Hall A Classic Floor-Ceiling Play In Week 1

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall is a classic example of a floor-ceiling/boom-bust option in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hall has the elite three-down skillset to be a player who doesn't need to leave the field when his team is on offense. His draft status (top of round 2) also indicates […]

Dalton Schultz Should Start A Huge Season In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz should get off to a strong start in Week 1 of what could be a top-tier TE season. Schultz was the overall TE5 in fantasy last season, and now he has ascended to what could basically be the WR2 position on the Cowboys offense. With only CeeDee Lamb clearly […]

Jalen Ramsey - Week 1 Outlook for IDP Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey (shoulder) is "ready to roll" in the NFL kickoff game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. "He's feeling good. He sure looks damn good out here," head coach Sean McVay said earlier this week. He is not listed on the injury report. A strong performance by the seven-time Pro […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks To Get Off To A Hot Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is primed to take the next step into alpha WR1 status, and that journey starts in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Lamb was already very impressive in 2021, finishing 13th in yards per route run and excellent after the catch (fifth in missed tackles). This season, he […]

James Robinson Back To 100 Percent Health

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back James Robinson (Achilles) is 100 percent back from his torn Achilles. Pederson said Robinson's Week 1 workload against the Washington Commanders will depend on how he looks, but he isn't ruling out Robinson having a normal workload. The 24-year-old will no doubt be active this […]

Tony Pollard Set For A Bigger Role In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is a solid option in Week 1 lineups against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Pollard has outright league-winning upside if Ezekiel Elliott misses time, but Pollard is supposed to be in much more of a 1A/1B situation with Elliott this season as opposed to his previous backup/pass catching role. Pollard […]

Julio Jones Back To His Old Self?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Julio Jones was out of shape when he first reported to the team in training camp, but Bowles said that the veteran pass-catcher has "kind of gotten to the point where he's returned to his old self." Jones is leading both in the locker […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Get Off To A Decent Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should get off to a decent start in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. The days of Elliott being an unquestioned top-tier fantasy running back are likely over, but he should still be able to put up solid runs as the 1A in the Cowboys backfield alongside Tony […]

Dawson Knox Reaches Four-Year Extension With Bills

The Buffalo Bills agreed to a four-year, $53.6 million contract extension with tight end Dawson Knox on Wednesday, according to sources. The deal includes $31 million guaranteed and makes him one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league. Knox set career-highs in 2021 with 49 catches for 587 yards and nine touchdowns in the […]

Dak Prescott Set For A Solid Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott makes for a solid starting QB option in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott was the QB9 in fantasy scoring last season and should be in for a similar season again in 2022. He ran the ball much less last season, but with a diminished offensive line, he […]

Eagles Not Worried About Miles Sanders

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his level of concern about running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is "not high." Sirianni said that every player, including Sanders, will have some level of participation in practice on Wednesday. Sanders was able to return to practice last week, so barring some sort of setback, he should be […]

Rams Defense - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams will have its hands full against quarterback Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. The Bills offense finished in the top seven in 2021 in total yards per game, rushing yards, passing yards and points per game. They allowed the fewest sacks of any team and turned […]
