Evan Engram Could Be PPR Sleeper Against Cowboys

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram will look to get his season on track when the Giants take on the Cowboys in Week 2. Engram caught only two passes for 18 yards in Week 1 but should have more opportunities against the Cowboys. In two games against Dallas last season, Engram caught eight passes […]

Sterling Shepard No More Than WR4 For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will take on the Cowboys this Sunday night in Week 2. Shepard caught five passes for 48 yards in the opener and produced mediocre results against the Cowboys last season as the Giants offense struggled in both games. In two games last season against Dallas, Shepard registered only […]

Saquon Barkley Remains RB1 Against Cowboys

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will try and deliver an encore performance after his 128-yard, one-touchdown Week 1 game against the Jaguars in his NFL debut. Barkley was held down for much of the game against the Jaguars until he ripped off a 68-yard run for his first professional score. Barkley registered only […]

Keenan Reynolds Added To Active Roster

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team has added wide receiver Keenan Reynolds to the active roster from the practice squad with Doug Baldwin (knee) possibly out a couple of weeks. Reynolds will strictly be providing depth to a thin receiving corps and isn't an option for fantasy owners. Tyler Lockett will be […]

Chris Carson Solidifies Spot As Lead Back

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson "really took the lead at that position" in Week 1 against the Broncos, while the coach said rookie Rashaad Penny "looked a little rusty." Carson was the clear top back in training camp and the preseason, while Penny missed valuable repetitions with his finger […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Gets Better Matchup For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will take on the Cowboys Sunday night in Dallas for Week 2. Beckham Jr. was fantastic in Week 1 despite a really tough matchup, catching 11 passes for 111 yards despite being covered by the Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Beckham Jr. should be unleashed against a Dallas […]

Eli Manning Looking For Revenge Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will look to put 2017 behind him when he takes on the division-rival Cowboys on Sunday night. The Giants offense struggled mightily against Dallas last season with Manning completing 60 of 84 passes for 448 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, leading to only 13 combined points in two […]

Eagles Re-Signing Kamar Aiken

The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing wide receiver Kamar Aiken on Tuesday, according to his agent.

Martavis Bryant Considering Return To Oakland

Free-agent wide receiver Martavis Bryant was at the team's facility on Tuesday and is talking with the team about a return, according to sources. It has been rumored that Bryant is facing a year-long suspension, but nothing is official yet. After Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson combined for four catches in Week 1 against the […]

Benjamin Watson Not A Top-12 TE Option For Week 2

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson caught four passes for 44 yards in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The veteran is the top tight end option for a potent Saints offense but is low on the pecking order of options for quarterback Drew Brees. Watson and Co. will face a Browns defense that is […]

Kevin Johnson Placed On IR

The Houston Texans placed cornerback Kevin Johnson (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Johnson will be eligible to return but must sit out at least eight weeks. Johnson's absence will make the team's secondary much weaker, but their strong defensive front could make up for it. The Texans defense/special teams is definitely worth starting in […]

Eagles Work Out Paxton Lynch, Among Others

The Philadelphia Eagles worked out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, running backs Fitzgerald Toussaint and Martez Carter and wide receivers Kamar Aiken, Breshad Perriman and Shane Wynn on Tuesday. With quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) still ailing, the Eagles are looking for some depth in those areas. None of these players […]

Brian Hill Promoted To Active Roster

The Atlanta Falcons promoted running back Brian Hill off the practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday. The team also signed wide receiver Julian Williams to the practice squad and waived defensive tackle Jacob Tuioti-Mariner. Hill ran for 87 yards on 11 carries (5.1 yards per carry) in the preseason, but he'll just provide […]

Patriots To Sign Kenjon Barner

The New England Patriots are expected to sign free-agent running back Kenjon Barner on Tuesday, according to a league source. Barner had just 16 carries for 57 yards and one touchdown in 13 games for the Eagles in 2017. He'll strictly be providing running back depth and isn't worth considering in fantasy leagues.

Trevor Davis Put On Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Trevor Davis (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed cornerback Deante Burton off waivers from the Falcons in a corresponding move. The team also signed cornerback Will Redmond to the practice squad and released safety Marwin Evans. Davis didn't play any offensive snaps in Week 1 on […]

Jon Gruden Believes In Derek Carr

Despite a frustrating performance in the Week 1 loss to the Rams on Monday night, Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has confidence in quarterback Derek Carr. "I thought he was on his way in the first half. He was 20 of 24, there was some good things. I heard a skunk got loose in […]

Alvin Kamara Could See Reduced Touches Moving Forward

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara could see a slight reduction in touches moving forward. Kamara was on the field for 52 snaps during Week 1 and head coach Sean Payton says it was largely due to the fact that the Saints were playing from behind. Payton also mentioned that despite Kamara looking excellent […]

Ted Ginn Will Provide Deep Threat Against Browns

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn will try and build off of his 68-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 1 when the team lines up against the Browns. The Browns allowed 218 yards to Steelers receivers in Week 1 and Ginn will once again be a threat to put up a big play. As receiver […]

Redskins Put Cam Sims On IR

The Washington Redskins placed rookie wide receiver Cam Sims (ankle) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Sims, who was serving on special teams, will need surgery to fix his high ankle sprain. Sims wasn't even close to being on the fantasy radar and had no real role in the offense.

Michael Thomas Should Keep Rolling Against Browns

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will look to repeat his monster Week 1 performance when the Saints take on the Browns in Week 2. The Browns were bend-but-don't-break against the Steelers in Week 1 and will be tasked with attempting to bottle up a potent Saints passing attack. Thomas caught 16 passes for […]

Alvin Kamara Has Favorable Matchup Against Browns

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara should be able to keep rolling when the Saints take on the Browns in New Orleans in Week 2. Kamara was dynamic in Week 1, posting 141 all-purpose yards with three touchdowns and was a force in the passing game. The Browns were beaten regularly on the ground […]

Drew Brees To Maintain QB1 Status For Week 2

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees should be able to score plenty of points at home against the Browns in Week 2. Cleveland flashed some of the potential that they invested in during the draft this season with cornerback Denzel Ward picking off two passes against the Steelers in Week 1. The Browns defense caused […]

J'Marcus Webb Placed On Injured Reserve

The Indianapolis Colts placed offensive tackle J'Marcus Webb (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and elevated cornerback Lenzy Pipkins from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. The team also signed cornerback Tarvarus McFadden to the practice squad. Webb started at right tackle in Week 1 against the Bengals. With left […]

Deion Jones Placed On IR

The Atlanta Falcons placed linebacker Deion Jones (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Jones was a top-10 IDP linebacker, so this is obviously a big blow for the Falcons defense as a whole, especially after they also lost star safety Keanu Neal (knee) for the entire season. Atlanta's defense/special teams was a sleeper unit for […]

Josh Gordon Now Listed As Starting WR For Browns

The Cleveland Browns have listed Josh Gordon as one of the starting wide receivers ahead of their Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints. Gordon was supposedly not going to start in Week 1 and was only expected to play around 20 snaps. Instead, Gordon drew the Week 1 start and played on 78% […]

Nothing Has Changed With Le'Veon Bell

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he has not been in contact with running back Le'Veon Bell. "Nothing has changed regarding us," Tomlin said. "We're preparing to play this week with the guys that are here and working , James (Conner) being central to that. I will not withhold information from you guys. If […]

Greg Olsen To Stay Off IR For Now

The Carolina Panthers plan to keep tight end Greg Olsen (foot) on the 53-man roster instead of putting him on Injured Reserve, according to a source. However, right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) will likely land on the IR. This means that the Panthers are hoping Olsen can return to them later in the season. When […]

David DeCastro Has Fractured Hand

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro guard David DeCastro (hand) is dealing with a fractured hand, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. However, DeCastro said he was fine after the tie in Week 1 against the Browns. There's a chance DeCastro could play through the injury, but he might not be as effective. Any time missed by DeCastro […]

Jared Cook Explodes In Season Opener

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook finished with a monster stat line in Monday night's loss versus the Rams. Cook ended the day with nine receptions for 180 yards on 12 targets. The nine receptions and 12 targets were both team high's in their season opener. Cook's season-high in receptions last season was eight, which […]

Jordy Nelson Quiet In Raiders Debut

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson was quiet in his first start with his new team. Nelson ended with only three catches for 23 yards in Monday's loss against the Rams. Nelson is the clear number two receiver for the Raiders, who put up over 300 yards in the passing game, but a very limited […]
