Sterling Shepard In Good Spirits

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) is on the field going through protocol steps on Wednesday and looks to be in good spirits. Shepard might be limited in practice, at best, but it's a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Bills. Even if Shepard plays, though, he'll be more […]

Panthers Defense Won't Have Bruce Irvin Thursday

Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Bruce Irvin (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Buccaneers on Thursday. Irvin has yet to play so far in 2019. It's a slight downgrade for Carolina's pass rush against Tampa, but the Panthers Defense remains in play as a low-end option against Buccaneers turnover-prone quarterback […]

Trey Burton Day-To-Day

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) is still day-to-day, but the Bears are optimistic that he'll be able to make his season debut in Week 2 against the Broncos on the road. We probably won't know until later this week if Burton will play, and he could be a game-time decision. Burton would strictly […]

Greg Olsen Questionable Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. Olsen was able to get in a full practice on Wednesday and expects to play. The veteran has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons, but he'll be in play as a TE1 if he suits up against a […]

Randall Cobb Just a Depth Option in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is just a depth option in a Week 2 matchup against Washington. Cobb surprised in Week 1, gaining 69 yards and scoring a touchdown, but Week 2 should be dominated by Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and Ezekiel Elliott. Cobb is an injury to a Cowboys wide receiver away from […]

Michael Gallup Should Have a Solid Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup should have a solid Week 2 but will likely take a back seat to Amari Cooper. Gallup had a huge game in Week 1, catching seven passes for 158 yards, but Week 2 looks like a game for Cooper to shine. Gallup will still be there as the second […]

Amari Cooper Looking at Another WR1 Week in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a solidly ranked WR1 again for Week 2. Traveling to Washington, Cooper should have no trouble piling up fantasy points on the road. The Washington defense was burned by Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson in Week 1 and Cooper should be similarly able to get open down the […]

Tony Pollard Just a Backup in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is just a backup for Week 2 and should not be in any starting lineups. Pollard got 13 carries in Week 1, tying with Ezekiel Elliott for the team lead, but could only gain 24 yards. With Ezekiel Elliott now expected to play his full workload, Pollard will […]

Ezekiel Elliott One of the Top Options for Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is one of the best running back options in fantasy lineups for Week 2. Elliott only got 13 carries in Week 1, but it was mostly due to the Cowboys being in control throughout the second half, allowing them to scale back Elliott's work. With Week 1 and a […]

Dak Prescott a Strong QB1 Option in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a strong QB1 option for a Week 2 matchup on the road against Washington. Prescott was great in new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's revamped offense in Week 1. He threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns and the Cowboys offense had no trouble moving the ball. Taking on a […]

Eagles Defense Could Struggle in Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense could disappoint in Week 2 and is not a highly recommended unit. The Eagles secondary allowed the Washington offense led by rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin and "Literally Case Keenum" quarterback Case Keenum to burn them for 380 yards in Week 1. This week, they travel to Atlanta to take on […]

Jake Elliott is a Solid Kicking Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a solid option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons in what should be at least somewhat of a shootout, so Elliott will likely have plenty of kicking opportunities. He only had one field goal attempt in Week 1, but pushed three extra points […]

Dallas Goedert Only an Option in Deep Leagues for Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is only a middling starting option in two-tight end leagues for Week 2. The Atlanta Falcons Defense does few things well, but one of those things is defending opposing tight ends. Mix that with the fact that Goedert was only targeted three times in Week 1 and you have […]

Zach Ertz a Strong Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a top-three option again in Week 2. Despite taking on an Atlanta Falcons Defense that actually limits opposing tight ends fairly well, Ertz is matchup-proof and should easily put up TE1 numbers. In an ascendant offense that finally has a deep threat to spread out the defense in […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Fantasy Option Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside showed in Week 1 that he's not quite a fantasy option yet this season. The rookie played just five offensive snaps in Week 1 and didn't draw a target. Based on preseason comments from head coach Doug Pederson, Arcega-Whiteside was expected to have a bit more of a […]

Nelson Agholor Not a Fantasy Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a fantasy option for Week 2. Despite a matchup that should result in plenty of points for the Eagles, Agholor is unlikely to play a large role. With the Eagles showing a strong preference for two-tight end sets with both Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert on the […]

Antonio Brown To Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will practice on Wednesday. However, it's up in the air if Brown will make his debut with the team in Week 2 against the Dolphins, and Belichick said they're taking it "one day at a time." Brown's ex-trainer is filing a lawsuit […]

Albert Wilson Not Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday after aggravating his calf injury in Week 1 while playing just six snaps. It doesn't sound promising for his availability in Week 2 against the Patriots, but we'll have to wait and see. If Wilson misses this weekend, Devante Parker, Jakeem Grant, […]

DeSean Jackson Could Have Another Strong Outing in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson had an excellent Week 1 and could have another solid game in Week 2. Jackson matches up well with the Atlanta Falcons pass defense and showed in Week 1 that he still definitely has "it". With Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz commanding attention in the short and middle depths […]

Sean McDermott Says Frank Gore Is The Starter

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Frank Gore is the starter in front of rookie Devin Singletary and T.J. Yeldon. Gore did lead the backfield in Week 1 with 11 carries to Singletary's four, but the elder statesman had just 20 yards (1.8 yards per carry), while Singletary was much more […]

Alshon Jeffery a Solid Choice Again in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a solid fantasy wide receiver option again for Week 2. Facing off against a less-than-stellar Atlanta Falcons passing defense, Jeffery should make some noise again as he did in Week 1. Jeffery scored two touchdowns against Washington, hauling down a touchdown pass and recording a rushing touchdown on […]

Corey Clement Not a Fantasy Option for Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a startable fantasy player in Week 2. Even though the Eagles aren't expected to have any trouble on offense against the Atlanta Falcons, Clement is very unlikely to make a significant impact. Clement did not record an offensive statistic in Week 1 and was only on the […]

Ja'Wuan James To Miss Several Weeks

Denver Broncos right tackle Ja'Wuan James (knee) will miss several weeks with a significant knee sprain, according to a league source. The Broncos are happy with the way that Elijah Wilkinson filled in on Monday night against the Raiders, but it's a notable loss for the Broncos offensive line. With an elite defense in the […]

Sam Darnold Misses Practice With Strep Throat

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) was sent home from practice on Wednesday with strep throat, according to head coach Adam Gase. Gase thinks that Darnold will be fine for Monday night against the Browns. While Darnold should perform better than he did in Week 1 against a tough Bills Defense, he's still more […]

Darren Sproles Is a Risky Week 2 Fantasy Running Back

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles, currently leading the team in rushing, is a risky starter in Week 2 lineups. Despite a good matchup against a weak Atlanta Falcons Defense and a solid performance in Week 1, Sproles is not expected to usually play quite as big a role as he did in the win […]

Jordan Howard Not a Safe Option in Week 2 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a low-floor option for Week 2. Howard saw the fewest touches in the Eagles backfield in Week 1, and wasn't consistently used for short yardage work either. Still, he did look decent and perhaps earned a few more touches going forward. Looking like a touchdown-dependent option, Howard won't […]

Miles Sanders Is An Unexciting Week 2 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an OK but mostly unexciting option for Week 2. Shaping up to be somewhere on the RB2/3 border, Sanders had plenty of chances in Week 1 but didn't do much with them. He was thoroughly outplayed by veteran Darren Sproles, and even Jordan Howard showed a bit […]

Carson Wentz a Top-Five Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a top-five quarterback option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons Defense poses no threat to Wentz, who made use of his new receiving weapon, DeSean Jackson, in Week 1. Wentz and Jackson connected for two long touchdowns and the duo are a threat to do that […]

Jonathan Abram's Pending Surgery Downgrades Raiders Defense

The Oakland Raiders Defense will take a significant blow when rookie safety Jonathan Abram goes under the knife to repair his shoulder. The first-round pick out of Mississippi State tore his rotator cuff and labrum in the first quarter versus the Broncos Monday night, but managed to play through the game. Surgery will knock Abrams […]

Ronald Jones II Praised By Bruce Arians

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II, who had just 13 yards on five attempts in nine games in a dreadful rookie season, looked good in Week 1 with 13 carries for 75 yards (5.77 yards per carry). Jones shined in the preseason while looking faster, more athletic and more fluid with his hands. […]
