A.J. Bouye Has Good Shot To Play For Jaguars Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye (hip), who is listed as questionable to play on Thursday against the Titans, has a good shot to play, according to a source. If he suits up, it's expected to be his last game starting across from Jalen Ramsey, who will likely be traded this weekend. Having both Bouye and […]

Donte Moncrief Unusable In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Donte Moncrief has five drops through two games. He's likely still feeling the effects of a dislocated finger from the preseason but drops are drops, and him being bench in the second half of Week 2's game paints a picture of where he is on the depth chart. Many are clamoring […]

Jets Defense Not Expected To Have C.J. Mosley

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Patriots. Mosley also missed the Monday night game in Week 2, and the Jets Defense had a tough time slowing down Cleveland. The linebacker is a strong IDP option when he's on the field, but his owners have […]

James Washington Has Great Upside In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught just two balls for 23 yards in Week 2, but Week 3 presents an intriguing matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. His former college quarterback, Mason Rudolph, is now throwing to him full-time for the Steelers and if preseason usage has any backing, then this connection should continue […]

Bennie Fowler Tweaks Hamstring In Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Bennie Fowler (hamstring) "tweaked" his hamstring in practice on Wednesday, but the Giants are "hopeful" that he will play in Week 3 against the Buccaneers, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. The goods news is that Sterling Shepard (concussion) has a chance to return this Sunday, but Cody Latimer (concussion) […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Draws Tough Card Against 49ers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster draws a tough matchup in Week 3 against the 49ers on the road. San Francisco has allowed a 56 Catch %  to wide receivers, one of the lowest in the NFL. However, Smith-Schuster should avoid coverage from Richard Sherman and instead get K'Wan Williams, which would give the USC […]

Jaylen Samuels Could See Increased Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels may be in line for more touches in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year back took 22 offensive snaps last week after James Conner (knee) was forced out of the contest. While it only resulted in four touches for 35 yards, Samuels was clearly the number […]

Albert Wilson, Reshad Jones Not At Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) and safety Reshad Jones (ankle) are not at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's looking like both players will sit out for the second straight week against the Cowboys in Week 3. The Dolphins are a mess. Expect them to go with Devante Parker, Preston […]

Mason Rudolph Gets Tough First Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph draws his first NFL start on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The Oklahoma State product got his first taste of the NFL regular season in Week 2, after starting the second half in place of Ben Roethlisberger (elbow). He threw for 112 yards, two scores, and an interception. The Steelers are […]

All Praise Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was on fire last Thursday night versus the Carolina Panthers. He managed a career-best eight receptions for 121 yards while also adding a touchdown. That performance earned him the highest PFF receiving grade for Week 2. Godwin has been highly sought after throughout this preseason and first two […]

Josh Jacobs Has Lost Weight

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (groin, illness), on top of the groin injury he's dealing with, said he's been sick and has lost 10 pounds. Jacobs could still play in Week 3 against the Vikings in a tough matchup, but he may not be close to 100 percent and could lose valuable touches to […]

Cam Newton Not At Practice Thursday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) is not at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Newton was in a walking boot on Wednesday and isn't expected to play in Week 3 against the Cardinals. You need to make other plans now if you were planning on using him as your starter this week. […]

Drew Brees Has Successful Surgery

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) underwent successful thumb surgery and is expected to remain in Los Angeles and do rehab work for the next few days, according to a source. His original timeline of six weeks remains within reach and the Saints haven't placed Brees on Injured Reserve. Keep Brees stashed on your […]

Sterling Shepard Expected To Clear Concussion Protocol Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard appeared at practice on Thursday without a yellow jersey, signaling that he has completed his progression through the league's concussion protocol. The return of the team's top wide receiver is obviously good news for new starting quarterback Daniel Jones and might also help take some defensive attention away […]

Falcons Defense Not A Strong Starting Option For Week 3

The Falcons Defense had a surprisingly strong showing in Week 2 against the Eagles in their home opener, sacking quarterback Carson Wentz three times while also forcing two interceptions and holding the Eagles to 20 points in the game. This week, the Falcons go on the road to face the Colts, who don't have quite […]

Matt Bryant A Solid Starting Option For Week 3

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant should have the opportunity to put up some points in Week 3 against the Colts. After not attempting a kick in Week 1, Bryant had two field goal attempts and three extra-point attempts in Week 2. He hit all three of his extra-point attempts and went 1-for-2 on field goals, […]

Ito Smith Not A Starting Option In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has shown some positive signs through two games this season. He's carried the ball ten times for 63 yards, good for 6.3 yards per carry, which is far superior than the average of Falcons lead running back Devonta Freeman, who is averaging just 2.2 yards per carry. Still, it's […]

Chris Conley Is Risky Week 3 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has gotten off to a good start in 2019, with 12 targets through two games. But Conley is also dealing with a hip injury and faces a Titans Defense that has mostly held opposing wide receivers in check to start the season, a pair of things that don't bode […]

Mohamed Sanu A Risky Start In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has nine catches on 13 targets through two games, which is encouraging to see. However, he's been primarily targeted on short-yardage plays. He has just 73 yards on those nine catches, good for only 8.1 yards per reception. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are the big playmakers in the […]

Austin Hooper A Viable TE1 Starter In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has been heavily utilized by quarterback Matt Ryan so far this year. Through two games, Hooper has been targeted 15 times and has caught 13 of those targets for 111 yards. He's been mostly targeted on short routes. His yards per reception average is only 8.5, making him a […]

D.J. Chark Has Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark faces a tough Week 3 test against the Tennessee Titans, but his rapport with quarterback Gardner Minshew and his ability to be used as a deep threat make him the Jacksonville wide receiver with the highest upside. He's also got a low floor, and that volatility is likely to […]

Calvin Ridley A Reliable WR2 In Week 3

It's been a flawless start to the season for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has scored touchdowns in each of his first two games and totalled 169 receiving yards. He should continue to produce for his owners in Week 3 as the Falcons take on the Colts. Ridley was targeted ten times in […]

Devonta Freeman Still A Worthy RB2 Start

It's been a nightmare start to the season for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. Through two games, Freeman has carried the ball 19 times for just 41 yards, while adding six catches for 54 yards. The receiving numbers are a nice little boost, but his 2.2 yards-per-carry average is atrocious. The Vikings and Eagles, […]

Dede Westbrook Could Remain In Slump

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has had a rough start to the year. If you remove a 15-yard Week 1 touchdown from the equation, Westbrook's other plays look like this: 10 targets, five receptions, 16 yards. Quarterback Gardner Minshew isn't delivering the ball deep to Westbrook and is spreading out his targets among the […]

Julio Jones Primed For Another Big Week

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has three touchdowns through two games and has been peppered with targets as usual from quarterback Matt Ryan so far this year. He should keep his strong start going this week against the Colts. The Falcons have one of the top passing offenses in the league and they're yet […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Reliable Starter In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has five touchdowns and five interceptions through two games. He's been over 300 yards in each game this season and has a good chance to keep that streak going this week against the Colts. The Falcons' run game has yet to show any signs of life, forcing Ryan to throw […]

Cole Beasley A Low-End Option In PPR Leagues

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley caught all four of his targets in Week 2 and produced 83 receiving yards on the day. It was a significant target decrease from his nine targets in Week 1, but it was nonetheless inspiring to see him turn in a solid performance despite the low target-share. Expect him […]

Zay Jones Still Not Roster-Worthy

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones hasn't been very involved in the offense through two games, with just seven targets and a total of three catches for 32 yards. John Brown and Cole Beasley have been the center of Josh Allen's attention and while Jones is quite possibly the next option on his radar, it's […]

Leonard Fournette Has Juicy Matchup On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should be considered a strong fantasy start in Week 3. The Jags have made it clear through two weeks that Fournette is the only running back on the team capable of being used offensively -- he played 97 percent of the team's Week 2 snaps -- and the Titans […]

T.J. Yeldon Not A Starting Option In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon stands to benefit if the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is out or limited in Week 3, but Yeldon still has too much risk built in to consider starting. He's yet to touch the ball through two games this year. He likely needs either starting running […]
