A.J. Green Hard To Trust In Season Opener

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green draws a favorable matchup for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Green, initially the WR2 on the depth chart, has fallen to the No. 3 spot behind rookie Rondale Moore. It seems like a toss-up as to who will end up becoming the No. 2 behind DeAndre Hopkins, but we'll […]

Rondale Moore Draws Favorable Week 1 Matchup

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore is listed as the WR2 on the Cardinals depth chart, indicating that he could see more targets than A.J. Green and Christian Kirk. During the preseason, Moore had six receptions for 38 yards. It's a small sample size, but in the game where quarterback Kyler Murray was featured against the […]

Christian Kirk's Targets May Be Low In Favorable Matchup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk seems to have slipped on the depth chart with the additions of rookie Rondale Moore and veteran A.J. Green. However, in a favorable matchup against Tennessee in Week 1, he should be considered a flex option in deeper leagues. Quarterback Kyler Murray will look to throw the ball more often than […]

Maxx Williams A Touchdown-Or-Bust Option For Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams opens up Week 1 with a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Unfortunately, Williams seems like a touchdown-or-bust player throughout the season in the high-octane Cardinals offense. With Dan Arnold's departure, Williams will see more snaps. Last season, he was featured in nine games, catching just one touchdown. Arnold […]

Matt Prater A Solid Option For Week 1

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is an appealing option for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Prater is ranked 10th in the kickers category for Week 1. Last season, Prater made six field goals from over 50 yards out. The 37-year-old signed a two-year, $7 million deal with the Cardinals during the offseason. Prater left […]

Chris Boswell A Low-End Option In Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will kick against the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 1. Boswell is coming off an accurate season where he missed just one field goal in 20 attempts. The Steelers offense isn't what it used to be during Ben Roethlisberger's heyday, limiting Boswell's upside heading into Week 1. In […]

Cardinals Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals defense is ranked 27th for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Although the Cardinals added J.J. Watt during the offseason, the Titans added All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones, pairing him up with A.J. Brown, while still having a rushing threat like Derrick Henry in the backfield. The Cardinals, however, did have the sixth-highest […]

Chase McLaughlin Questionable For Week 1

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for his team's Week 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaughlin popped up on the Browns' final injury report of the week, released on Friday. If McLaughlin can't go, the team would likely promote rookie Chris Naggar from the practice squad. They have until […]

Trey Sermon Looks To Start Strong In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Trey Sermon will make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The rookie has a favorable matchup against the fifth-worst run defense from a season ago, but the volume he will get in this game is still a question mark. Raheem Mostert will likely get the largest share […]

Jimmy Garoppolo A QB2 In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will kick off his fifth season with the team, as Trey Lance looms in the background. The 29-year-old has a great matchup on Sunday, as he faces the third-worst pass defense from a season ago. Although the matchup seems great on paper, the former New England Patriot is not […]

Deebo Samuel A FLEX Option Week 1?

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is heading into his third season in the NFL after dealing with the injury bug in his sophomore year. The 25-year-old recently said that "this is the best I've felt since I've been here," so fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to his […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Solid Option In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has a great matchup in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions who were the third-worst team against the pass last season. The 23-year-old is coming off a rookie season where he finished strong, putting up 60 receptions for 748 yards and five touchdowns. He could be short of […]

George Kittle Has A Great Matchup Week 1

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is in a great spot to show why he is one of the league's best on Sunday. Last year, the Detroit Lions gave up the third-most passing yards per game and the 15th most fantasy points per game to the tight end position. The 27-year-old has a realistic […]

Raheem Mostert Has A Great Matchup Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert could be in for a masterpiece on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The Lions struggled against the run last year, giving up 134.9 rushing yards per game which was good for fifth-worst. The run-heavy scheme of the 49ers puts Mostert in must-start territory for this contest because of […]

A.J. Brown Good To Go For Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is good to go for the regular-season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. He doesn't have an injury designation heading into Week 1 and is all systems go for Sunday. "I am going to be good to go on Sunday," said Brown. The 24-year-old underwent surgeries on both knees […]

Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Reynolds (foot) is questionable for the regular-season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. He was limited in practice throughout the week and is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday. The 26-year-old is in line to be the Titans WR3 behind A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. Reynolds is someone to […]

Eric Fisher Ruled Out For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Eric Fisher (Achilles) has been ruled out for the regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The Colts are being cautious with their star tackle as he works his way back from an Achilles injury he sustained in the 2020 postseason. His absence from the o-line only hurts QB Carson Wentz and […]

Kyle Rudolph Good To Go For Week 1

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He spent most of training camp recovering from foot surgery but is all systems go for Sunday. The 31-year-old hauled in 28 receptions for 334 yards and a touchdown over 12 games for the […]

Elijah Moore Should Produce WR3 Value

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore will be making his NFL debut in Week 1 versus the Carolina Panthers. The second round pick from this year's draft should see plenty of targets this season. He could get involved right away with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) questionable for Week 1. The […]

Corey Davis Has Solid Upside For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will likely end up with the most fantasy value out of anyone on this roster this season. Davis is coming off a season where he produced 65 receptions, 984 yards, and five touchdowns. Now, he'll be the main focus with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) […]

Michael Carter Worth Stashing, Not Starting Versus Panthers

New York Jets running back Michael Carter will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the lead back, while Ty Johnson figures to do most of the receiving work. It'll be interesting […]

Ty Johnson Not Trustworthy For Week 1

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson appears to be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the starter, while Johnson and Michael Carter should get involved as well. Johnson finished with 254 yards on the ground and 99 yards through the air in limited action last […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Tevin Coleman Named Lead Back For Opener

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was recently named the lead back for their matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee with Ty Johnson and rookie Michael Carter. None of these backs were able to separate themselves during the preseason. It's likely going to […]

Keelan Cole Banged Up For Opener

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for their Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are already going to be without veteran wideout Jamison Crowder due to COVID-19. Now, Cole will need to have his status monitored up to kickoff. Right now, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore […]

Jonnu Smith Has Tough Matchup In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith will not have an easy challenge to open the season. He'll get the Miami Dolphins defense that allowed seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Smith is coming off career highs with 448 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Although, he should be viewed as a high-end […]

Hunter Henry A TE2 For Week 1

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry will not open the season with a favorable matchup. He gets a Miami Dolphins defense that allowed the seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Henry finished with 60 receptions, 613 yards, and four touchdowns in 2020. He is a capable option at tight end, but […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Not An Ideal Option For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will be making his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He was a fourth round pick of New England during this year's draft. Stevenson was impressive in camp and likely earned himself a legitimate role in the backfield this season. However, he'll draw a tough […]

Kendrick Bourne A Sneaky PPR Choice

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne could find himself with intriguing value heading into Week 1. The Patriots could be without starting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (shoulder) for their matchup with the Miami Dolphins. That means, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne should be asked to pick up the slack. Last season, Bourne finished with […]

Jakobi Meyers Is A Intriguing PPR Option For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was one of the few bright spots for this offense last season. He finished with 59 receptions and 729 yards in 14 games (nine starts) with New England last season. Meyers averaged 7.3 targets per game over his last 11 outings of 2020. He'll get a Miami Dolphins […]
