Ronald Jones II Fumbles In Season Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II managed four rushes for 14 yards in the season-opening win against the Cowboys. The RB also notably lost a fumble in the game. Coming into the season, it was expected Jones and Leonard Fournette would both get carries but Fournette got nine in Thursday's game compared to […]

Tom Brady Tosses For 379 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady finished Thursday's win over Dallas by going 32-for-50 for 379 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks. The 44-year-old didn't look one bit his age on Thursday and showcased why he can still play for multiple years going forward. With a collection of elite receiving weapons, Brady figures to remain […]

Michael Gallup Exits With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (ankle) is questionable to return to the team's Week 1 contest against the Buccaneers. Gallup had four catches for 36 yards before exiting. The way Dallas used Gallup was encouraging, even if the numbers didn't necessarily look great for fantasy purposes. If Gallup misses any time, Cedrick Wilson would […]

Cooper Kupp Is A Safe Play in Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been one of the most consistent wide receivers in the game over the last few years, and he's ready for his first game with new quarterback Matthew Stafford under center. Kupp was a safety-valve receiver for former quarterback Jared Goff, and he can play a similar role […]

Sony Michel Can Be Avoided In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel is a player that could be interesting later this year in fantasy, but he can ride your bench in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. Michel just recently joined the roster, and he figures to be the RB2 in this Rams offense behind Darrell Henderson. The Bears were […]

Bradley Chubb Could Be Questionable For Week 1

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) had offseason surgery on his ankle, but he tweaked his other ankle in the team's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams and was limited in practice on Thursday. Chubb has a shot to play in the season-opener on Sunday against the New York Giants, but if he does […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Isn't A Top Option In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. is the team's starting running back after the season-ending injury to teammate Cam Akers, but he's not going to be a top fantasy option in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears defensive strength this season is going to be up front against the run with […]

Tyrann Mathieu Up In The Air For Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu remains up in the air for Sunday's season-opener against the Cleveland Browns. Mathieu is vaccinated, but he remains on the league's COVID-19 list and must return two negative tests 48 hours apart in order to be cleared before Sunday. The 29-year-old also must remain asymptomatic. The deadline to activate […]

Ravens Working On Deal With Latavius Murray

The Baltimore Ravens are finalizing a deal with free agent running back Latavius Murray, who would join a team whose running back room is a mess right now. Three players -- J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill -- are all out for the season and the team has already added Le'Veon Bell and Devonta […]

Matthew Stafford Looks To Start The Season Strong

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is ready for his first game in a different uniform after 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, and his first opponent is a familiar foe in the Chicago Bears in Week 1. This Rams offense is loaded at the wide receiver position, with Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp as […]

Marcus Peters Suffers Torn ACL Thursday

Tests confirmed that Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL at practice on Thursday, according to a source. Thursday was a really bad day for the Ravens, as starting running back Gus Edwards (knee) also suffered a season-ending torn ACL. It's a serious blow for Baltimore's secondary, but thankfully they also […]

Le'Veon Bell Could Be Active In Week 1

With Baltimore Ravens starting running back Gus Edwards (knee) suffering a torn ACL in practice on Thursday, head coach John Harbaugh said that Le'Veon Bell has "a chance" to be active for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. The Ravens have now lost Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Justice […]

Evan Engram Misses Another Practice

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday, another sign that he's trending toward missing the Week 1 season-opener on Sunday afternoon against the Denver Broncos. Earlier this week, Engram was considered a long shot to suit up against the Broncos, so fantasy managers should've […]

Sean Murphy-Bunting Won't Return Against Cowboys

After exiting early with an apparent elbow injury, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Sean Murphy-Bunting won't return to Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He was injured while trying to tackle Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who scored a touchdown on the play. Murphy-Bunting is a key piece of this Buccaneers defense and had one […]

Tests Confirm Torn ACL For Gus Edwards

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) has officially been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will have season-ending surgery. Edwards was expected to take the lead role with J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (achilles) both sidelined for the season, but caught a tough break in practice and what was feared as a torn […]

Will Grier Inactive For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Will Grier will be inactive in Week 1 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Grier was recently claimed off waivers from the Carolina Panthers and will compete with Cooper Rush for the No. 2 spot behind Dak Prescott throughout the season. Wide receiver Noah Brown, linebacker Luke Gifford, defensive ends Azur Kamara and […]

Trey Lance Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance (finger) remained limited in practice on Thursday. The third overall pick in the 2021 has been dealing with a chip in his finger and had a splint removed on Monday. It's encouraging news that Lance could have a shot to suit up in Week 1 versus the Detroit […]

Brandon Aiyuk Practices On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday and should be ready to roll in Week 1 versus the Detroit Lions. The sophomore receiver is expected to play a big part in Kyle Shanahan's offense and offers plenty of upside to managers moving forward. In his rookie season, Aiyuk caught […]

Giovani Bernard Active, Ke'Shawn Vaughn Headlines Inactives

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn is among the team's inactive players for Thursday's Week 1 matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys. Veteran newcomer Giovani Bernard was listed on the injury report earlier in the week with an ankle injury, but is good to go this evening. Vaughn had a chance to carve out a […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Limited On Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice session. Beckham continues to take it easy on his surgically-repaired knee as he ramps up for the Week 1 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. While the team has been taking it easy on Beckham during camp, the star […]

Anthony Miller Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 1

Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller will take on the Jaguars in Week 1 of the 2021 season. Miller came over to the Texans via trade in July after compiling 134 receptions, 1,564 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns in three seasons with the Bears. The 26-year-old dealt with a shoulder injury but has logged full […]

T.J. Watt Agrees To Four-Year Extension

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract extension on Thursday. The extension will make him the NFL's highest-paid player, includes $80 million in guaranteed money, and will keep him in Pittsburgh through the end of the 2025 season. Watt had been angling for a contract extension throughout training camp, refusing […]

Brandin Cooks A Solid WR3 Against Jaguars

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks should see a fair amount of targets in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Cooks torched the Jaguars' 27th-ranked pass defense in his two meetings against them last season, totaling 161 yards and a score on 12 targets in the first game and another 83 yards and a touchdown on […]

Tyreek Hill Should Continue To Star As A WR In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill will look to start his 2021 campaign on a high note against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. The Browns posses a strong defensive unit, but the Chiefs enter the matchup with one of the most explosive offenses over the past three seasons and Hill has played a […]

Travis Kelce Should Play A Big Role In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will look to build off of his record breaking 2020 season with a date against a stingy Cleveland Browns defense in Week 1. Kelce had an incredible season in 2020 with 105 receptions for 1416 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had six games of 100 yards or […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Continue To Put Up Big Numbers In 2021

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is destined for another year as one of the best at his position this season, but will draw a tough Cleveland Browns defense in Week 1. The Browns defense was more vulnerable versus the pass than the run in 2020 with 247.6 yards allowed through the air per game, […]

Austin Ekeler Remains Sidelined In Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) was seen with his helmet and pads on, but didn't participate in practice for the second straight day. Ekeler has missed games before in his career and missed six games in 2020. The veteran was rested for all three preseason games, but it's never a good sign […]

Mark Ingram II Not An Option in Week 1

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II gets one of the better matchups in Week 1 against the Jaguars' 30th-ranked run defense from 2020. Unfortunately, Ingram is stuck in a backfield committee with David Johnson and Phillip Lindsay, which unfortunately lowers the upside of all three backs. The 31-year-old back has had a nose for […]

Phillip Lindsay Stuck In Committee Ahead Of Favorable Week 1 Matchup

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay draws a favorable matchup in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Lindsay is expected to split the early-down work with Mark Ingram II, which will make this backfield a weekly headache to predict. The former Bronco posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons back in 2018 and 2019- meaning he'd be an upside […]

Damien Harris A Low-End RB2 For Opener

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris is going to be the lead back to begin the season. This team doesn't have much reliable depth behind Harris, so he should get his fair share of carries. Although, Harris could have trouble finding room to run during their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. A […]
