Star Lotulelei Not A Sure Thing For Week 1

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (calf) missed his second straight day of practice on Wednesday with a calf injury. The Bills remain optimistic that Lotulelei will be available for the season opener on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we'd call him questionable for now. He'll likely need to get in some sort of […]

Carson Wentz Practicing In Full, Will Be Ready For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will be a full practice participant on Wednesday, according to head coach Frank Reich. Wentz will be on the field in Week 1 for his Colts debut against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old quarterback was a franchise signal-caller in Philadelphia, but things went sour in 2020 and he was […]

J.D. McKissic Not A Starting Option In Week 1

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic was one of the best pass-catching running backs in all of the NFL last year after recording 80 receptions (110 targets) while serving as the primary third-down back. Antonio Gibson is primed for a larger workload as a sophomore, so McKissic's outlook is not nearly as promising this […]

Dyami Brown “A Big Play Waiting To Happen”

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown continues to generate buzz from the coaching staff and his teammates ahead of the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. The former North Carolina standout was described as a "big play waiting to happen," according to head coach Ron Rivera. With Curtis Samuel (groin) still not 100% […]

Vikings Sign Brian O’Neill To Five-Year Extension

Minnesota Vikings right tackle Brian O'Neill has signed a five-year extension worth $92.5 million, making him the second-highest paid player at the position in the NFL. The former second-round pick has played in 46 games with the Vikings and is viewed by many as the best offensive lineman on the team. In 2020, he played […]

Ravens Sign Trenton Cannon To 53-Man Roster

The Baltimore Ravens have signed running back Trenton Cannon to their active roster after losing J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) to season-ending injuries. Cannon was signed to the 53-man roster because of his ability to play on special teams, which is a role that needed to be filled after the loss of Hill. […]

Curtis Samuel Begins Practice, Then Heads To Sidelines

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) joined the team at practice once again on Wednesday but then headed to the sidelines after appearing to be in some discomfort. Samuel was spotted working with trainers and getting stretched out after running some routes at the beginning of practice. This doesn't help the outlook of […]

Washington Defense A Solid Starting Option Week 1

The Washington Football Team D/ST is a solid starting option for fantasy managers in Week 1 as they take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Although they are going up against a talented offense that features the likes of Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler, the Washington defense should be started with confidence. Last year, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Will Look To Start Off Strong Week 1

Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will look to make a good first impression with his new team against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. The Chargers allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards per game last year, and that was without their elite safety Derwin James. This matchup has the look of a low-scoring game, […]

DeAndre Hopkins Draws Favorable Week 1 Matchup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will start off the season with a favorable matchup in Tennessee against the Titans. Hopkins will face off against a Titans defense that gave up the ninth-most points last season. Last season, Hopkins was targeted 160 times. He had 115 receptions for 1,407 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged […]

Steelers Optimistic On Long-Term Deal For T.J. Watt

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he's optimistic that the team will get a long-term contract extension worked out with star linebacker T.J. Watt, which will likely make Watt the highest-paid defensive player in the league. Tomlin expects Watt to return to practice on Wednesday to get ready for Week 1 against the […]

Kyler Murray Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray draws a favorable matchup in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Not only could this game end up becoming a high-scoring shootout, the Titans defense allowed the ninth-most points last season. With the additions of wide receiver A.J. Green and running back James Conner, Murray will have an array of options, including one […]

Bradley Roby Being Traded To The Saints

The New Orleans Saints are acquiring cornerback Bradley Roby from the Houston Texans on Wednesday, according to sources. Roby is suspended for Week 1 as he completes his six-game suspension from last season for a banned substance, but he should help the Saints immediately at a position of need when he returns for Week 2 […]

Deshaun Watson Not Expected To Play Sunday

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said he doesn't expect quarterback Deshaun Watson to play in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars while his legal situation plays out. "I wouldn't expect him to play. … I wouldn't anticipate him playing this Sunday and we'll recalibrate as we go," Caserio said. The expectation is that Watson […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Dealing With Dislocated Thumb

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thumb) suffered a dislocated thumb in practice last week, according to a source. However, there is optimism that he should be OK to play in the season opener on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. We'll keep a close eye on the rookie's practice participation this week leading […]

Jordan Whitehead Ruled Out For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) will not play in the regular-season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list during training camp but suffered a hamstring injury after clearing NFL protocols. His next chance to return will be Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The 24-year-old racked up […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially Listed As 49ers Starting QB

The San Francisco 49ers officially listed Jimmy Garoppolo as the starting quarterback on the team's official depth chart. Trey Lance suffered a chip fracture in a finger on his throwing hand and has been sidelined for over a week. He alternated series and even snaps on particular possessions with Garoppolo throughout the preseason. Garoppolo threw […]

Nyheim Hines Listed Second On The Colts RB Depth Chart

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is listed as the number 2 back behind undisputed starter Jonathan Taylor. Marlon Mack was listed as the number three running back behind Taylor and Hines on Tuesday. Hines is the Colts' top-passing catching option, and the team plans to involve him more in the offense this season. The […]

Marlon Mack Listed No.3 On The Colts RB Depth Chart

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack is listed as the number 3 back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines. He went down with a season-ending Achilles' tendon tear in Week 1 of last season and continues to work his way back. The 25-year-old will see early-down work if Taylor were to miss any games. Hines […]

Tevin Coleman Listed As The Jets Starting RB

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman is listed on the top of the depth chart and will start in the regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are expected to use a running back by committee this season; Ty Johnson and Michael Carter will be involved in some capacity. The 28-year-old rushed for […]

Elijah Moore Listed As A Starter

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore is listed as one of the team's top three wide receivers on the Week 1 depth chart. The Jets placed Jamison Crowder on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and the team listed Moore as one of their top wideouts for the regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers. He will start […]

Eagles Defense Not A Good Week 1 Choice

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a good Week 1 choice in most fantasy lineups. The Eagles largely struggled on the defensive side of the ball in 2020, and there's plenty of reason to believe more of the same could be in store for the 2021 season. Their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons […]

Jake Elliott Not A Good Option For Week 1 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott does not make for a good kicking option in fantasy lineups for Week 1. Elliott was overall bad in 2020, attempting just 19 field goals and putting up the lowest conversion rate of his career on both field goals and extra points. Part of his bad season can be attributed […]

Zach Ertz Just A Depth Piece For Now

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is not a strong starting option in fantasy lineups for Week 1 despite an excellent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons defense was 27th against opposing tight ends last season, but with more receiving options available on offense and Dallas Goedert clearly ahead of him on the depth […]

Dallas Goedert Starting The Season With An Excellent Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert gets to start the season with an excellent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense. The Falcons were just 27th against opposing tight ends last season, and Goedert is clearly the top tight end target in the Eagles offense this year. Zach Ertz is still around, but he'll take a […]

Greg Ward Could Start The Season In A Bench Role

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward could start the season in a backup or special team role. Ward was the main slot receiver for the Eagles last year, but the emergence of Quez Watkins in training camp and preseason games may push Ward into the fourth spot on the Eagles wide receiver depth chart. Only […]

Quez Watkins Likely To Start In The Slot In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is likely to start in the slot in Week 1 and should have a shot to stay in that role as long as he plays well. Watkins didn't do much in his rookie season last year, catching just seven passes for a total of 106 yards across six games. […]

Jalen Reagor Has A Lot To Prove This Season

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor has a lot to prove to justify where he was drafted in last year's draft. With a disappointing rookie season behind him despite being the de facto WR1 on the Eagles, Reagor will have more competition for targets on the offense, but may do better drawing "softer" defensive backs. […]

O.J. Howard Likely To Play In The Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (Achilles) is expected to suit up for Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys. The 26-year-old suffered a season-ending Achilles tear back in October of last year and was relegated to playing in just four games as a result. Still, before succumbing to the injury, Howard racked up 11 catches […]

Steelers Defense Faces Tough Task In Week 1

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is expected to be one of the better fantasy defenses in the league in 2021. That being said, Pittsburgh faces a tough road matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Buffalo has one of the most explosive offenses in the league and should pose problems for the Pittsburgh defense, despite […]
