Kyle Rudolph Is Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph will draw the start Week 2 with Evan Engram (calf) ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team. He caught two of five targets for eight yards during Sunday's 27-13 Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 31-year-old logged 47 snaps and owned 14% of […]

Davante Adams Set Up For Monster Week 2

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will have a very favorable matchup Week 2 against the Lions. Adams posted only five catches for 56 yards in Week 1 but will go up against a Lions secondary already in disarray with cornerback Jeff Okudah out for the season. The Lions allowed the third most fantasy […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is no longer fantasy relevant after the Eagles backfield usage was displayed in Week 1. Miles Sanders remained the starter and the lead back, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell served as a pass-catching and change-of-pace back. Scott was limited to a special teams role and did not even take the […]

Aaron Rodgers Primed For Bounce-Back Performance

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have the perfect opportunity to put the team's porous Week 1 behind them against the Lions in Week 2. Detroit's defense was ripped up for 41 points in Week 1 against the 49ers and prized cornerback prospect Jeff Okudah is now out for the season with a torn […]

Kenneth Gainwell Not A Starting Option Just Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was surprisingly involved more than expected in Week 1 and should continue to carve out a role in the Philly backfield in Week 2. In his first NFL game, Gainwell saw 11 touches and scored a touchdown. While he clearly worked behind starter Miles Sanders, he also banished […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was solid in Week 1, but he will face a tougher defense and possibly a less favorable game script in Week 2. In Week 1, Sanders saw 19 touches, gaining 74 yards on 15 rushes and catching four passes for 39 yards through the air. While there were some […]

Jalen Hurts Faces A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was outstanding in Week 1 but faces a tougher challenge in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Hurts was able to torch an awful Atlanta Falcons secondary for 264 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, adding 62 yards with his legs as well. While he may not see […]

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Wednesday

Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs is not practicing on Wednesday as he nurses toe and ankle injuries. While this is not exactly surprising news, it's not ideal for fantasy managers who watched Jacobs limp off the field a couple of times on Monday night. Toe injuries are historically problematic for running backs since they […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Great Week 2 Option

The Dallas Cowboys defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 lineups. Traveling to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere in the bottom five of fantasy units for Week 2. Although they certainly looked improved from last year in Week 1 and managed four […]

Pharaoh Brown Unable To Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (undisclosed) was unable to practice Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. Brown suffered the injury at some point during his team's Week 1 victory over the Jaguars, but it didn't affect his production much, as he totaled four receptions for 67 yards. The official practice report will shed some […]

Greg Zuerlein Looks For A Better Week 2

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein will look for better results in Week 2 when he and his team take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein attempted eight kicks in Week 1, missing an extra point and two field goals. Because of the Dallas offense, Zuerlein should see plenty of kicking opportunities, but he seems limited […]

Dalton Schultz Only An Option In Deep Leagues In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is only a fantasy starting option in very deep leagues and two-tight end formats. Schultz led the Cowboys tight ends in Week 1 with six targets, catching all six for 45 yards. Blake Jarwin figures to get more and more involved as he gets back up to speed after […]

Jamison Crowder Will Return In Week 2

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that the team expects to have slot receiver Jamison Crowder and wide receiver Keelan Cole back in time for Sunday's game against the Patriots. As a reliable veteran, Crowder's return is good news for Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. However, how much the slot receiver plays is […]

Blake Jarwin A Depth Option For Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end leagues for a Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jarwin came back from his ACL tear last week after missing almost all of the 2020 season. In the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, he […]

Anthony Firkser Misses Open Portion of Practice

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser was spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice but went inside before the open portion. There was no report of an injury for Firkser after Week 1, so perhaps this is just a rest day. However, fantasy managers should be concerned that, despite a positive game script, Firkser […]

Saquon Barkley Questionable Against Washington

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was a limited practice participant this week and is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Washington Football Team in Week 2. As far as we know, Barkley didn't have a setback this week, so he should be good to go on Thursday night […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Will Not Play In Week 2

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) will not play in Week 2 against the Houston Texans on Sunday. It will be Beckham's second straight missed game to start the year after he suffered a torn ACL last October. It's frustrating for Beckham's fantasy managers, but the Browns […]

Ricardo Allen Going On Injured Reserve

Cincinnati Bengals safety Ricardo Allen (hand, hamstring) is going on Injured Reserve and will miss at least three weeks with a broken hand and a hamstring strain, according to a source. The Bengals added veteran safety Sean Davis to their practice squad in a corresponding move. Allen spent the previous six seasons with the Atlanta […]

Cedrick Wilson An Option In Deeper Leagues In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson could be a decent option in deeper league lineups for Week 2. Wilson will be taking the place of Michael Gallup (ankle) for at least the next few weeks. Gallup operated as the third wide receiver in Week 1, drawing seven targets before being forced to leave the game. […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks For Another Great Game In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to build on a strong Week 1 in a Week 2 road game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lamb was great in the first game of the season, seeing 15 targets, catching seven of them for 104 yards and a touchdown. He'll face a much tougher secondary […]

Antonio Gibson Good To Go For Thursday Night

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shoulder) is a full participant in practice on Wednesday and is no longer listed on the injury report for Thursday night's game against the division-rival New York Giants. Gibson was heavily utilized in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, playing 65.5 percent of the […]

Amari Cooper A Solid WR1 Starter In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a solid WR1 option for Week 2 lineups. In Week 1, Cooper saw 16 targets, catching 13 of them for 139 and two touchdowns. He'll face a much tougher secondary in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the Cowboys have proven that they are not afraid […]

Evan Engram Ruled Out For Second Straight Game

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) has been ruled out for the second straight game for the Thursday night matchup with the Washington Football Team in Week 2. The Giants said that Engram is making some progress, but fantasy managers shouldn't have realistically been expecting him to play on a short week after […]

Tony Pollard Not A Starting Option In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is not a good starting option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. Pollard would shoot up into the RB2 ranks if starter Ezekiel Elliott were to miss time, but as things stand, he is little more than a change-of-pace option in the Dallas offense. In Week 1, Pollard received seven […]

Geronimo Allison Added To Lions Practice Squad

The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver Geronimo Allison to their practice squad on Wednesday. The Lions are giving themselves a little receiving insurance after it was announced that No. 1 receiver Tyrell Williams was put in the league's concussion protocol after the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Detroit has one of the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looks To Get Going In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will look to get things going in a Week 2 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense was excellent in Week 1 while Elliott wasn't all that impressive against Tampa Bay. Still, Elliott figures to do better than his 11 carry, 33-yard opening night performance. Quarterback Dak […]

Gabriel Davis Will Not Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis will not practice on Wednesday due to a "lower body injury," according to head coach Sean McDermott. Davis had a big day in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching two of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown on 43 offensive snaps. It's unclear if […]

Dak Prescott Looking For A Strong Week 2 Performance

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a fantasy QB1 every time he takes the field, even in a tough Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense showed up in Week 1 and had the third best fantasy performance against an opposing quarterback. There's a slight caveat to that though, as they […]

Adam Shaheen Coming Off COVID-19 List

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that tight end Adam Shaheen will be back at practice on Wednesday after coming off the COVID-19 list. Shaheen was inactive in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, but he should make his 2021 season debut in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, and he […]

Akiem Hicks Wants To Finish His Career In Chicago

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Akiem Hicks said he'll "do everything in my power" to stay with the team for the rest of his career, despite the Bears giving him permission to seek a trade in the offseason. The 31-year-old is in the final year of his deal and has a $10.4 million base salary and […]
