Tre'Quan Smith Sits Out Thursday's Practice With Hamstring Injury

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) logged a DNP on Thursday's practice report. This is particularly discouraging, considering that Smith wasn't listed on Wednesday's report. The UCF product has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury since the start of training camp- so he's clearly having trouble managing the ailment, which has him […]

Joe Mixon Named Training Camp MVP

Bengals running back Joe Mixon was named training camp MVP on Thursday. If everything goes right, Mixon could find himself on an electric offense with an adequate offensive line, neither of which are statements he could've boasted in years past. It's no secret that the running back is a physically talented player, but his poor […]

D’Andre Swift To Have No Workload Limit

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is reported to have no workload limit heading into his matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The sophomore impressed in his rookie season with fantastic agility, quick burst and decent power, but his preseason injury posed concern for some fantasy managers in their drafts. Managers should consider themselves […]

Curtis Samuel Misses Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) missed practice again on Thursday after tweaking his pre-existing injury at the beginning portion of practice on Wednesday. Head coach Ron Rivera was hopeful that Samuel would get a full week of work ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, but that has […]

David Johnson Could Have Sneaky PPR Value In Week 1

Houston Texans running back David Johnson is stuck in a three-back committee ahead of a favorable Week 1 matchup against the Jaguars. Johnson played in just 12 games last year due to injuries, but was pretty effective when on the field, totaling 691 rushing yards along with 314 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, good for […]

Tyrod Taylor An Unappealing Option In Week 1

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor will take on the Jaguars in his first action as the starting signal-caller for his new team. Taylor hasn't been a full-time starter since the 2017 season, as he has bounced around between the Browns and the Chargers before settling in with the Texans this year. The dual-threat quarterback offered […]

Sterling Shepard A Sneaky Play In PPR Formats Vs. Denver

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is projected to lead the team in catches in 2021, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "The connection with quarterback Daniel Jones was working," said Raanan. Jones and Shepard have shown great chemistry during camp, and Raanan "wouldn't be the least bit surprised" if the Giants WR led the […]

Kenny Golladay Could Be Limited In Giants Debut

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) could be limited for the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and has missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old is considered questionable but is trending in the right direction to suit up in Week 1. […]

Davante Adams Won’t Have Contract Extension By Week 1

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams said: "no, no chance" on the chances of getting a contract extension before the season opener. The Packers reportedly will continue contract extensions with the 28-year-old during the regular season, but it's unlikely to happen before Week 1. Adams hauled in 115 catches for 1,374 yards and 18 […]

Tyler Lockett Not Listed On Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (groin) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. He was dealing with a groin injury during training camp but should be all systems go in the regular-season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old hauled in 100 receptions for 1,054 yards and 10 touchdowns over 16 games in 2020. […]

Darrell Henderson Fully Recovered From Thumb Injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson (thumb) wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday. He sustained a sprained left thumb during practice on August 23. The 24-year-old is fully recovered from the issue and wasn't listed on the latest injury report. Henderson will still have a "huge role" despite the team recently trading for […]

Rashaad Penny Dealing With Calf Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He made the Seahawks' final 53-man roster and is expected to be the primary backup behind undisputed starter Chris Carson. The former first-rounder rushed for 32 yards on 12 attempts while catching two passes on three targets for 11 yards in […]

Kadarius Toney Could Have “Significant Role” In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) could have a "significant role" in the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos, per head coach Joe Judge. "I think it's realistic Toney could have a significant role against the Broncos based on how practices this week," said Judge. The Giants 2021 first-round pick missed most of […]

Daniel Jones And Giants Offense Could Start Off Slow

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones draws a decent matchup at home against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. Denver allows 234.9 yards per game through the air and 15th in DVOA against the pass. The 24-year-old will look to make that third-year leap this season after a disappointing campaign in 2020. He threw for […]

Saquon Barkley Could Be Limited In A Plus Matchup Vs. Denver

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is trending in the right direction towards suiting up for the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He went down with a torn ACL and MCL in his knee in Week 2 of last year and missed the rest […]

Mike Gesicki Might Get Off To Slow Start

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki became a key part to this offensive unit last season. He finished with 53 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns, which were all career highs. However, the Dolphins did add on offense with Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller. Possibly, Gesicki gets less targets in 2021, but he should […]

Jaylen Waddle Gets Tough Matchup For NFL Debut

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is expected to be an impact player for this offense in 2021. He was taken as the sixth overall pick during this year's draft. He'll join a solid group of receivers in DeVante Parker and Will Fuller. It sounds like Waddle has been impressing in practice and could have […]

DeVante Parker A Shaky WR3 For Opener

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker struggled throughout most of the 2020 campaign. He finished with 63 receptions, 793 yards, and four touchdowns through 14 games with Miami. Those aren't bad stats, but the Dolphins have upgraded since last season. They've added both Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller to their core plus still have Preston […]

Malcolm Brown A Risky Choice In Team Debut

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is reportedly going to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. However, it sounds like the Dolphins believe Myles Gaskin can be a three-down back. Regardless, both Brown and Salvon Ahmed should see action during the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. A defense that […]

Myles Gaskin A Fine PPR Option For Opener

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is currently listed as the No. 1 option on the depth chart. However, head coach Brian Flores mentioned that the team plans to use a three-back committee. It's uncertain what is going to happen until we see it on the field in Week 1. Nonetheless, Gaskin should be the […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge In Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looked much improved during the preseason. He seemed comfortable in the pocket and was actually throwing an accurate deep ball to his wideouts. He'll certainly need to set up after having only three multiple touchdown games last season. His first assignment is going to be a tough challenge against the […]

Isaiah McKenzie Practicing In Full For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He injured his shoulder in practice a couple of weeks ago and still hasn't fully recovered. The MRI came back clean, which is a good sign going forward. However, it's unlikely that McKenzie is going to have […]

Dawson Knox Could Struggle Against Pittsburgh

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is often times the lost man for this offensive unit. However, he did scored in five of his last nine games for the Bills last season. Sadly, he'll get a tough matchup to kickoff the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A defense that allowed just three touchdowns to tight […]

Emmanuel Sanders Hopeful To Play In Opener

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Obviously, fantasy managers don't like to see that with Week 1 being just a few days away. However, Sanders is currently listed as questionable, but it doesn't sound like this issue should hold him out of the season opener. Right now, fantasy managers […]

Cole Beasley Remains Trustworthy PPR Option

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley is coming off a career-year last season. He finished with a career-high 967 yards and 82 receptions. The veteran receiver has seen over 100 targets during both of his seasons in Buffalo. That is likely going to remain the same, especially with John Brown departing over the offseason. However, […]

Stefon Diggs Draws Tough Matchup

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs will have a tough challenge ahead of him against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He is coming off an incredible 2020 season where he recorded 127 receptions and 1,535 yards in 16 games. Diggs was likely the first wideout off draft boards and for good reason. However, he'll […]

Zack Moss Likely Touchdown Dependent For Week 1

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss is coming off a lackluster rookie campaign. He rushed for 481 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games last season. Devin Singletary was the lead back, but Moss saw plenty of chances behind him. It sounds like the two of them will split up the carries this season. Although, […]

Devin Singletary Could Struggle In Opener

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was not much of a fantasy option in most formats last season. He finished with 687 yards and two total touchdowns on the ground in 16 games. Things aren't going to get easier for him against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. A team that allowed the 10th-fewest amount […]

Josh Allen Gets Tough Assignment Week 1

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is no doubt one of the best options to have at QB this fantasy season. However, he'll get a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 1. A secondary that allowed the third-fewest amount of passing yards in 2020. The Steelers didn't have any major changes on defense […]

Gerald Everett Should Be Faded In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett is one of the more interesting fantasy tight ends in 2021, but your fantasy trip with him should be delayed for at least a week. It's unclear what his role is going to be in this Seahawks offense and unless you're desperate for a tight end to play in […]
