Greg Olsen Expected To Play Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is expected to be active for the team's Thursday night matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the veteran was unable to practice throughout the week and was officially listed as questionable for the Week 2 contest, head coach Ron Rivera noted that he anticipates that Olsen […]

Mike Evans Ready For Carolina?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was nearly a scratch for Week 1 against the 49ers after being diagnosed with the flu. Though he was able to suit up, his play suggested that he wasn’t 100 percent after pulling in just two receptions (five targets) for 28 yards. The 26-year-old wasn’t listed on the […]

Eric Ebron A TE2 In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron was quiet in Week 1. In Week 2, he has the opportunity to bounce back against the Tennessee Titans, but he is still going to be reliant on scoring touchdowns. The thing he has going for him is that he is great in the red zone because of his […]

Dare Ogunbowale Involved In Messy Situation

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale offers little fantasy value against the Panthers in Week 2. Despite getting more snaps than No. 1 Peyton Barber, Ogunbowale will still have to surpass Ronald Jones II, who outperformed both of them combined against the 49ers in Week 1. If he is on your roster in deeper […]

Peyton Barber To Start Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber will start in Week 2 against the Panthers; however, head coach Bruce Arians has reportedly been impressed with No. 2 option Ronald Jones II, making this backfield situation even more complicated. Nonetheless, Arians plans to utilize the “hot hand” of Jones, making it easy to assume that he […]

Ronald Jones II To Get More Touches?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has been rumored to be the team’s No. 1 option, however, head coach Bruce Arians indicated that Peyton Barber will remain the starter, at least for now. Jones outperformed the latter in Week 1 against the 49ers, racking up 13 carries for 75 yards while Barber, who […]

Jameis Winston Heads To Carolina On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston looks to turn things around against the Panthers on Thursday night. Winston had a rough Week 1 showing against the 49ers, compiling 194 yards and a touchdown while throwing three interceptions, with two of those picks being returned for scores. Winston played relatively well in his lone appearance against […]

Curtis Samuel Hopes To Put Week 1 Behind Him

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will look to put his subpar Week 1 performance behind him on Thursday night against the visiting Buccaneers. The 23-year-old had a weak fantasy performance against the Rams, finishing with just 32 yards on three receptions (four targets). Samuel was touted for his strong showing during training camp, and […]

Jack Doyle Can Be Faded In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle had a quiet Week 1. In Week 2, he gets a matchup with the Tennessee Titans that doesn't feature the best cover linebackers or safeties. Despite that, Doyle doesn't play in a high-octane offense that gives him a ton of upside. In Week 1, he saw just two targets, […]

Parris Campbell Could Be WR2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell dealt with a hamstring injury throughout training camp in the preseason. In Week 1, he saw limited action, but his role is about to grow with wide receiver Devin Funchess (Collarbone) now on injured reserve. Campbell operates around the line of scrimmage and on gadget plays that help manufacture […]

Deon Cain's Stock Continues Rising

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Deon Cain saw his stock rise earlier this week when fellow wideout Devin Funchess (collarbone) was placed on Injured Reserve. Throughout the preseason and training camp, Cain steadily saw his stock rise with his crisp route running and professionalism. In Week 1, he recorded just two catches, but it was on […]

T.Y. Hilton Is A Must-Start In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton showed in Week 1 that he doesn't need the big play to be a fantasy stud. He had just eight catches for 87 yards, but he had two touchdowns. Against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, he is a must-start. Fellow wide receiver Devin Funchess (Collarbone) was placed on […]

Marlon Mack Has RB1 Upside In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was an elite player in Week 1. On 25 carries, he had 174 yards and one touchdown. In Week 2, he gets to go against the Tennessee Titans that just gave up 5.1 yards per carry to the Cleveland Browns. The Colts' offensive line should have no problem establishing […]

Jacoby Brissett A QB2 in Week 2

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a strong Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. In Week 2, he's got another decent matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Brissett's offensive weapons have the big-play ability that makes it easier for him to put up points without downfield throws. He doesn't add a ton of value with […]

Kerryon Johnson Looking To Bounce Back After Lackluster Week 1

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson will look to bounce back in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers after a disappointing 49-yard performance to kick off the season. Johnson was the No. 1 option in the Lions backfield Sunday but ceded a worrisome 11 touches to C.J. Anderson while drawing the same amount of […]

Darren Waller A TE1 In Juicy Matchup

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller impressed in the team's regular season debut on Monday and is in a terrific spot to keep it going in Week 2. He lived up to his preseason hype by hauling in seven receptions on a team-high eight targets versus the Broncos on Monday, and he'll certainly prove to […]

David Moore Gets In Limited Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a good sign for Moore, but he's expected to miss Week 2 and possibly Week 3. In this run-first offense, Moore should be found on the waiver wire right now in most every league. Tyler Lockett (back) is also banged up […]

Michael Badgley Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the season opener against the Colts. Badgley is shaping up to be questionable for Week 2 against the Lions, so he'll once again be a very risky fantasy option. If he sits out his second straight game, Ty […]

Ted Ginn Out With Illness Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. We're guessing that Ginn will return to practice later this week and suit up in Week 2 on the road against the Rams. The 34-year-old veteran caught all seven of his targets for 101 yards in the thrilling Monday night win over […]

Tyrell Williams Primed For Encore Performance

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams is in a terrific spot to produce once again in his second career game as a member of the Silver and Black. After picking 105 yards and a touchdown on six receptions in Week 1, the matchup is even sweeter when the Chiefs come to town in a potential […]

Jimmy Graham Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (finger) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The 32-year-old should be just fine for a divisional showdown at home in Week 2 against the Vikings. Graham caught three of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the opener last Thursday. He's no longer the […]

Tyler Lockett Does Not Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (back) was among those that didn't practice on Wednesday. Lockett is Seattle's No. 1 wideout, but he caught just one pass on only two targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. That's not the kind of volume his fantasy owners were hoping for as their WR2, […]

Game Script Could Impact Josh Jacobs This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had an outstanding NFL debut Monday, and he will look to keep the momentum going in Week 2 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The first-round rookie was used as the bell cow in Week 1, and Head Coach Jon Gruden already emphasized his workload is going to continue on […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Limited Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and running back James Conner (illness) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine, barring a setback, to play in Week 2 at home against the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster is a must-start WR1 every time he's active, while Conner is a low-end RB1 if he's […]

Derek Carr A Viable Week 2 Streamer

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a juicy matchup versus the susceptible Chiefs Defense in Week 2, making him a viable streamer and DFS option this week. Carr is coming off a stellar game where he connected on 22-of-26 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown versus a stout Denver defense. Kansas City gave up […]

J.J. Nelson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. He's still recovering from a sprained ankle from Week 2 in the preseason that resulted in him seeing only eight snaps in the regular season opener on Monday. Nelson is WR2 on the team's depth chart, but he won't be […]

Matthew Stafford Among Intriguing Week 2 QB Options

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, coming off a 385-yard, three-touchdown performance against Arizona on Sunday, could find himself in another favorable matchup this coming week with the Los Angeles Chargers coming to town. It's highly unlikely Stafford consistently attempts 45-plus passes per game going forward, as he has surpassed the 43-pass mark just five times […]

Cowboys Still Easing Ezekiel Elliott In?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott said he thinks he's "ready now for a normal workload" heading into Week 2 against the Redskins, but head coach Jason Garrett pumped the breaks on that a bit. Garrett said the team will be mindful of how little practice time Elliott had this summer because of his holdout. […]

Eric Weddle On Track For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects safety Eric Weddle (head) to be ready for Week 2 against the Saints. Weddle took a knee to the helmet from Christian McCaffrey in the season opener and missed the rest of the game. The Rams certainly need Weddle's help in the secondary with Drew Brees and […]

Jets Defense Dealing With Multiple Injuries

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) are both making good progress despite not practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Adam Gase. “It’s giving us hope with both those guys,” Gase said. “There’s a still a chance for those guys to play on Monday.” Safety Jamal Adams […]
