Alshon Jeffery Participating in Individual Drills

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) will participate in individual drills on Wednesday. Jeffery seems on track for a "limited" practice, which is certainly much better than the DNP he's been listed as up until now. It's nearly a certainty that he won't play in Week 2, but perhaps if everything goes right he […]

Nick Foles Officially Named the Starter for Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles officially named quarterback Nick Foles as the starter for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's football's least shocking news item, as Carson Wentz (knee) still hasn't been fully cleared for contact. Foles wasn't great in Week 1, throwing for just 117 yards, but he managed to lead the Eagles to […]

Matthew Stafford "Good To Go" in Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has no worries about his health status entering the Week 2 road matchup with the 49ers. Stafford was forced to leave the game for one play, in the third quarter, on Monday night after having the wind knocked out of him by two Jets defenders on a pass attempt. During […]

Josh Allen Will Reportedly Start In Week 2

Chris Mortensen is reporting that Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen will start the Bills Week 2 matchup with the Chargers. Allen completed just six of his 15 attempts for 74 yards in Week 1. However, his output was an improvement over the unsightly numbers that were registered by Nathan Peterman, before Peterman was replaced with […]

James Conner Primed For Another Huge Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner turned in an excellent game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, finishing with 192 total yards and two touchdowns. With Le'Veon Bell still away from the team, Conner handled all of the running back touches in the game. Bell isn't expected to return for Week 2, which sets […]

Ben Roethlisberger Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is coming off a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Cleveland Browns. Roethlisberger committed five turnovers in the game, which ended in a 21-21 tie. Look for the veteran quarterback to bounce back in Week 2 when the Steelers welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to Pittsburgh. Kansas City's pass defense […]

Josh Gordon A WR3 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon wound up catching just one pass for a 17-yard touchdown in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gordon saw just three targets in the game as quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked toward Jarvis Landry often on a rainy, slippery day. The Browns are now listing Gordon as a starter and […]

David Njoku Looks To Improve In Week 2

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku turned in a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just three passes and struggling with drops in the game. The second-year tight end also tweaked his ankle during the game but was able to return to the field. He will look to bounce back in Week […]

Jarvis Landry A Fantastic Option In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry saw a whopping 15 targets come his way during his team's Week 1 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Look for Landry to continue to lead his team in targets in Week 2 when they travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints. While Landry saw his normal allotment […]

Duke Johnson A Flex Option In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson finished third on his team with six targets in Week 1. Unfortunately, he was only able to catch one of those targets for eight yards in the contest as quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy. Johnson has a good chance to bounce back in Week 2 as the […]

Carlos Hyde Looks To Find End Zone Again in Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde found the end zone in Week 1, although he only gained 62 yards on 22 carries in the contest. The veteran running back will look to improve upon his efficiency when he travels to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 2. Hyde should benefit from playing […]

Nick Chubb Will Hope For More Work In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb saw just three touches in his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chubb looked good in his limited work, ripping off a 17-yard run and finishing with 21 yards. For now, Chubb has been operating strictly as the backup to starting running back Carlos Hyde. While […]

Tyrod Taylor Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing just 15 of his 40 pass attempts. Despite the poor showing, the veteran quarterback is a prime candidate to bounce back in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. While it rained consistently during the entire game in […]

Still No Sign Of Le'Veon Bell On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers game meetings are set to begin at 9:00 AM EST on Wednesday and running back Le'Veon Bell is reportedly not in attendance. Bell, who has not reported to the Steelers after being franchised tagged in the offseason, appears likely to carry his holdout over at least through Week 2. With Bell out of […]

Dallas Goedert Is Still Learning

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert had a "pretty good" debut versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to head coach Doug Pederson. However, there were some learning opportunities. The big 6-foot-5 South Dakota State product, who finished with one reception for four yards, had a chance to make a bigger impact. He almost scored on […]

Austin Hooper Remains a Red-Zone Threat

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will be hoping to convert on one of his red-zone targets in Week 2. In the season opener, Hooper officially saw two targets in the red zone, catching one of them. Hooper really should have drawn a penalty for an accidental defensive pass interference that prevented him from having […]

Julio Jones Looking To Stay Hot In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will be hoping to stay hot in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. Jones is coming off a monster game against the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday, in which he racked up 169 receiving yards on 10 receptions from 19 targets. Jones also has good history against the Carolina Panthers, […]

Tevin Coleman Could Star Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could be in line for a bulk of the workload in the Falcons second game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Coleman may be required to step up if Devonta Freeman is not 100% following his knee injury. Coleman saw 50% of the Falcons carries in week one but […]

Devonta Freeman Expected To Be Available Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman is expected to be "good to go" Sunday after leaving the season opener with a knee injury. The Falcons did promote Brian Hill from the practice squad to provide depth at the position. There has been no news on whether Freeman will be on a pitch count come Sunday. […]

Matt Ryan Hoping To Bounce Back Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will be hoping for a bounce-back performance in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Ryan completed 21-of-43 passes for 251 yards, with zero touchdowns and one interception against the Eagles in the season opener. His opponent this week, the Carolina Panthers, were not really tested in week one, as Dallas' […]

C.J. Prosise May Be Moved To Receiver

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise may be moved to receiver with the team hurting at the position with Doug Baldwin (knee) expected to miss a couple of weeks. “We’ve been talking about it,” head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “He does have the background [with] a couple years in college.” Prosise is […]

DeSean Jackson Very Questionable For Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (shoulder, concussion) is dealing with a shoulder injury and is a major question mark to play in Week 2 against the Eagles. Jackson is also dealing with a concussion he suffered late in the Week 1 win against the Saints. Two injuries are definitely not better than one. […]

Eagles Wide Receivers Need To Be Better Going Forward

The Philadelphia Eagles may have some issues at wide receiver. With Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) and Mack Hollins (groin) unable to play in Week 1, six players caught a pass, including quarterback Nick Foles. However, Nelson Agholor and Deandre Carter were the only wideouts to haul in a pass. Agholor reeled in eight passes on 10 […]

Vernon Hargreaves May Have Serious Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) may have a serious shoulder injury and will be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. Hargreaves was injured late in the Week 1 win over the Saints and could be looking at an extended absence, possibly for the rest of the season. With Brent Grimes also hurt, […]

Pharoh Cooper May Need Surgery

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Pharoh Cooper (ankle) "might be out for some time," according to head coach Sean McVay. It's sounding like Cooper may need to undergo surgery. Cooper is mainly a special teams kick returner, so while he doesn't have individual fantasy value, his loss could affect the return game a bit. LA's […]

Martavis Bryant Re-Signing With Raiders

The Oakland Raiders are re-signing wide receiver Martavis Bryant to a one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders released Bryant recently because they were concerned about a suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy again. There's still a chance that Bryant could be suspended for an entire year by the NFL, which […]

Doug Baldwin Could Miss A Couple Weeks

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) could be a out "a couple weeks" after suffering a Grade 2 partial MCL tear in his right knee in Week 1 against the Broncos. The Seahawks aren't expecting to have Baldwin available in Week 2 on Monday night against the Bears or […]

Greg Zuerlein Plays Well in Week 1

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was busy in Monday's 33-13 victory over the Raiders on Monday. Zuerlein knocked down four field goals and has become one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL. Zuerlein did miss one kick on Monday, but hit a field goal from 50 plus yards, so fantasy owners can't […]

Robert Woods Struggles in Victory Over Raiders

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was not impressive in the 33-13 victory over the Raiders on Monday. Woods caught three passes for 37 yards and was unable to find the end zone. Woods was targeted nine times, but was only able to haul in three receptions. Brandin Cooks has become the deep threat […]

Cooper Kupp Catches TD in Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp played well on Monday despite the presence of new teammate Brandin Cooks. Kupp caught five passes for 52 yards and one touchdown in the 33-13 victory over the Raiders. Kupp and Robert Woods actually were targeted more on Monday than Cooks, which is good news for fantasy owners […]
