Julio Jones Should Bounce Back Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has the potential for a bounce-back game in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. Jones had just 64 yards and once again failed to find the end zone against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. However, this Saints defense has surrendered nearly 12 more fantasy points to wide […]

Ito Smith Looking To Build On Solid First Outing

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith will be hoping to build on a solid first outing when he faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Smith had 54 total yards on 10 touches against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Whether Smith has any value at all this week will depend on the status of […]

Devonta Freeman Day-To-Day

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman's (knee) injury status is somewhat confused heading into the Week 3 game at home against the New Orleans Saints. Freeman suffered the injury in Week 1 and was reported as being out for at least 2-3 weeks by Adam Schefter. However, Dan Quinn refuted that claim Wednesday, saying that […]

Tevin Coleman A Tough Call Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could make for a tough decision for fantasy owners against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Coleman was superb against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2.

Matt Ryan Could Have Monster Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will be looking for a monster day at home Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

The New Orleans Saints were torched by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the season opener, giving up four […]

Darius Leonard Should Be Starting In IDP Leagues

After his 18-tackle performance in Week 2, Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard has burst onto the linebacker scene. While playing on an average defense, Leonard will be the leading playmaker in the middle of the defense. His athleticism allows him to fly all around the field. While IDP leagues are less common, a linebacker with […]

Robert Woods Leads Team In Targets

Through two games, the Los Angeles Rams leading receiver in yardage is Brandin Cooks. However, the leading receiver in targets is Robert Woods. Woods spends the majority of his time closer to the line of scrimmage, which makes him a frequent read for quarterback Jared Goff. Goff has a good arm, but he lacks the […]

Bills Promote Ryan Lewis

The Buffalo Bills promoted cornerback Ryan Lewis to their 53-man roster. Lewis fills the roster spot held by recently-retired cornerback Vontae Davis, who essentially quit on the team when he did not return to the sideline after halftime on Sunday. Lewis spent last week on the Bills practice squad after being de-activated by the team […]

Jordan Howard Needs More Carries

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy acknowledged that running back Jordan Howard could stand to see a few more carries, but the team will need to be leading in the fourth quarter for that to happen. Through two weeks, 11 players have more carries than Howard's 29 and 11 also have more rushing yards than […]

Handful Of Players Could Return In Week 3 For Seattle

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said there is hope that linebackers Bobby Wagner (groin) and K.J. Wright (knee), offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) and cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) can return in Week 3 against the Cowboys. Seattle could desperately use both Wagner and Wright back in the middle of their struggling defense. If all […]

Pete Carroll Says Russell Wilson Was Over-Trying

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said quarterback Russell Wilson was "over-trying" in Monday night's Week 2 loss to the Bears on the road. Wilson went 22-for-36 for 226 yards, two touchdowns, an interception returned for a touchdown and a lost fumble. He was also sacked six times, with five coming in the first half. […]

Melvin Gordon An Elite Week 3 Option Despite Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has hauled in 15 of his 20 targets for 140 yards through the first two weeks of 2018, putting him on pace to shatter his career highs in all three categories. While it may be a bit early to expect him to continue averaging 10 targets for a […]

Dalyn Dawkins Promoted To Active Roster

Tennessee Titans running back Dalyn Dawkins was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday. Also, the team signed cornerback Kenneth Durden back to the 53-man roster and elevated tackle Tyler Marz from the practice squad. Dawkins is the nephew of Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins. Running back David Fluellen left Week […]

Patriots Re-Sign Jace Billingsley

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Jace Billingsley to the practice squad on Tuesday and placed receiver Riley McCarron on the Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. None of this means anything for fantasy owners. Carry on.

Mike Gesicki Pleased With Early-Season Role

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki says that he is pleased with his role over the first two games of the season. The rookie has only one catch for 11 yards so far in the 2018 campaign but has proven himself as an excellent blocker. Ironically, Gesicki was a terrible blocker at Penn State […]

Chris Carson Still Atop Seahawks Depth Chart

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson remains atop the team's running back depth chart heading into Week 3 against the Cowboys. Carson didn't see any action on offense in the second half of Monday night's loss to the Bears as Seattle tried to change things up with rookie Rashaad Penny. Penny wasn't any more effective […]

Temper Expectations For Jared Cook

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook got the fantasy world buzzing with a 180-yard performance on Monday Night Football in Week 1. Gravity took hold in Week 2, however, as he returned to Earth in the form of a four-catch, 49-yard outing. Many fantasy owners who snagged him off the waiver wire prior to Week […]

Andy Levitre Put On IR

The Atlanta Falcons placed offensive guard Andy Levitre (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Wes Schweitzer will now take over as the starter at left guard. The Falcons signed guard Zac Kerin in a corresponding move. It's bad news for the team's running game, and they could be without running back Devonta Freeman (knee) for […]

Shaquill Griffin Intercepts Two Passes On Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin was questionable heading into Monday night's matchup with the Bears, but he's certainly pleased he made it on to the field now. Griffin was one of the stars of the game for Seattle as he snatched a pair of interceptions that helped keep the Seahawks in a game that could […]

Sebastian Janikowski Drills Another Long FG

Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski posted a perfect game in Week 2, including a bombed 56-yarder.

Jordan Matthews Working Out With Eagles

Free-agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews (hamstring) worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles, his original team, on Tuesday, according to a league source. Matthews was released with an injury designation six weeks ago by the Patriots. The receiver left the workout hopeful a deal would get done. The Eagles traded Matthews in 2016 to the Bills, […]

Jaron Brown Sees A Little More Action In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown was tagged by coaches for more use after only catching one ball in Week 1, and he did get a couple more chances against the Bears. Unfortunately, he literally only got two more chances. Brown finished with three catches on three targets for just 36 yards as he was […]

Brandon Marshall Works Role As No. 2 WR

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall seemed comfortable in his role as the team's No. 2 wide receiver on Monday night. Marshall ceded primary duty to Tyler Lockett while Doug Baldwin (knee) remains out, and he worked well as an outlet during Russell Wilson's scramble drills. Marshall is obviously past his prime and won't carry […]

Will Dissly Snags Another TD

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Will Dissly continued to show that he's more than just a blocker by hauling in another touchdown in Week 2. Dissly's score came in the final seconds of the game as Seattle attempted to make a desperate, but ultimately futile, comeback. Dissly snatched three more passes in Monday's game, giving […]

Tyler Lockett Works As Primary Receiver

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner Tyler Lockett got his first chance to be the team's primary outside target on Monday night, and he did a solid job in the role. Lockett led the team in targets, catches, and yards while hauling in a touchdown in the team's loss to the Bears. Lockett still worked as the […]

Rashaad Penny Struggles In Leading Role

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny surprisingly took the reins on Monday night when the coaching staff decided to stop using Chris Carson for unknown reasons. Unfortunately, Penny continues to struggle to perform in Seattle's backfield. Penny finished Monday night with just 30 yards on 10 carries. The reason head coach Pete Carroll provided […]

Randy Bullock Receives Extension

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Randy Bullock to a two-year contract extension on Tuesday that will run through the 2020 season. Bullock is 4-for-4 in field goal tries (long of 42 yards) through two weeks this year and is perfect on eight extra-point tries as well. In his two years in Cincy so far, he […]

Doug Baldwin Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is still a ways away from returning, according to head coach Pete Carroll. During a radio interview on Tuesday, Carroll said that while linebackers Bobby Wagner and KJ Wright were close to coming back and might be able to play against Dallas in Week 3, Baldwin was a […]
