Philip Rivers Poised For Huge Week

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers showed he's beck in regular-season form with a strong Week 1 against the Chiefs, and now he's licking his chops for his Week 2 matchup. Rivers will be squaring off in Buffalo against a Bills team that got routed in their season opener and gave up a whopping 47 […]

Devonta Freeman Not Expected To Play

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) is not expected to play in Week 2 against the Panthers. Rookie Ito Smith is expected to back up Tevin Coleman as the main running back this Sunday. It's a tough blow for those that own Freeman so early in the season. Hopefully you were able to handcuff […]

Michael Johnson Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson (knee) is expected to miss a few weeks after getting injured in the Week 2 win over the Ravens on Thursday, according to a source. While Cincy's defensive line takes a hit, Johnson was more of a run stopper than a pass rusher and wasn't on the radar of […]

Sam Darnold Praises Quincy Enunwa

New York Jets rookie Sam Darnold has liked what he's seen from wide receiver Quincy Enunwa so far. "He's smooth but he is also physical. He is very sudden, a very quick dude. It's awesome to be able to throw to him. The routes he runs are very crisp, but very violent. It's cool to […]

Aaron Rodgers Remains Day-To-Day

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is getting better but nothing has changed and Rodgers remains day-to-day. The Packers are not practicing on Friday, so Saturday's practice will be a big indicator for Rodgers' status in Week 2 against the Vikings. The feeling is still that it'd be a […]

Leonard Fournette Not Spotted At Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Friday morning, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Though there have been indications that Fournette is likely to suit up against New England on Sunday, his absence at practice should make fantasy owners uneasy about his status. Even if Fournette does […]

Josh Sitton Out For Season

Miami Dolphins left guard Josh Sitton (shoulder) will be out for the remainder of the season with a torn rotator cuff. Sitton was a key component of the Dolphins offensive line that the Dolphins claimed was the best unit they have had in many years. Sitton's left guard position will likely be filled by second-year […]

Alex Collins Thrives In Passing Game

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins was held to just 35 yards rushing, although he hauled in three of four targets for an additional 55 yards in Thursday's 34-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Collins now has just 16 carries on the season, with nine coming against the Bengals. While there are different reasons -- […]

Broncos Defense Remains a Top-10 Option in Week 2

The Denver Broncos will face an Oakland Raiders team in Week 2 which has an offensive line far superior to that of Seattle's, which conceded six sacks to Von Miller and company on Sunday. Don't let that scare you away from this Broncos defense/special teams unit. Raiders guard Gabe Jackson has been limited in practice, […]

Brandon McManus Among the Top Kicker Options in Week 2

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus finished Week 1 with 13 fantasy points, which was more than every kicker not named Greg Zuerlein. Oh and by the way, Zuerlein's Week 1 opponent -- Oakland -- will be in Denver on Sunday, so look for McManus to pick up where he left off -- Oakland also allowed […]

Demaryius Thomas On Pace for Sixth 1,000-Yard Season of Career

After grabbing six passes for 63 yards and a touchdown Sunday afternoon, Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is on pace to finish the 2018 season with 1,008 yards and 16 touchdowns. Expecting 16 TDs is a bit absurd. However, expecting more than the 63 yards he accrued in Week 1 is anything but. Thomas […]

Emmanuel Sanders a Top-20 Receiver in Week 2

Not only did Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders see a 28.2 percent target share in Week 1 (15th highest among WRs), but he had a 90.9 percent catch rate, bringing in 10 of 11 targets. He also went for 135 yards and a touchdown. Look for Sanders to build on his early success with […]

Lions Tight End Situation Is Still A Mess

Detroit Lions tight end Michael Roberts drew the Week 1 start despite being listed third on the team's depth chart. He played just 14 offensive snaps and did not draw a target. Levine Toilolo and Hakeem Valles played the most snaps of the group at 20 and 18, respectively. Toilolo caught his only target for […]

Royce Freeman Is Still Relevant

Don't let all of the hype surrounding Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay cause a sudden case of amnesia when it comes to their other promising rookie and preseason darling Royce Freeman. There's no reason the two can't co-exist. Both saw 15 carries in Week 1 against Seattle and both turned those 15 carries into […]

Matt Prater Looking To Get Back On Track

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater missed two field goals in Week 1 -- one missed right from 44 yards out and another fell short from 55 yards. It was the first time that Prater missed two field goals in the same game since 2014. It didn't help that the Lions' offense was awful against the […]

David Johnson Limited In Thursday's Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) logged in another limited practice session on Thursday. However, so far in the week it looks as if he will be fine to play this Sunday against the Rams. Johnson is a locked-in RB1 if healthy, making him a must-start option this weekend despite any injury concerns.

Phillip Lindsay a Solid Flex Option in Week 2

We're not one to overreact based on one game, but you didn't spend 25 percent (maybe more) of your FAAB on Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay to watch him ball out on your bench, did you? After leading all Broncos RBs in touches Sunday against the Seahawks, Lindsay draws a Raiders defense which […]

Marvin Jones Draws Tough Matchup In Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones caught four of eight targets for 54 yards in Week1's bad loss to the Jets. The Lions were passing almost exclusively in the second half; however, Matthew Stafford was looking at Golden Tate and Kenny Golladay more, as they each totaled double-digit targets. While it's not like Jones was […]

Kenny Golladay Has High Upside In Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has caught the attention of quarterback Matthew Stafford, as evidenced by the 12 targets he saw in Week 1. It has some believing that he will, or has already surpassed Marvin Jones in the pecking order for targets. While it's a bit too early to judge that, Golladay did […]

Case Keenum Draws Favorable Matchup in Week 2

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum finished Week 1 with more fantasy points than all but 12 QBs despite throwing three interceptions. Take away the three turnovers and we're now looking at a top-five fantasy performance. Up next for Keenum and the Broncos is a home date with the Khalil Mack-less Raiders, who put up one […]

Golden Tate Should Continue To Be Mr. Consistent in Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate caught seven of 15 targets in Week 1 versus the Jets. He also scored the Lions' lone offensive touchdown. As the Lions' slot receiver, he has proven to be a reliable target for Matthew Stafford for the last five seasons, and that should continue against the 49ers on Sunday. […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins A Risky Week 2 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins had a great matchup in Week 1 against the Giants, one of 2017's worst defenses against the tight end position, but he was only able to put up 25 yards on three catches. Expect Seferian-Jenkins to remain an inconsistent fantasy option all season long. While this could be worth […]

Joe Mixon Returns To Game

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) left the game in the second half with a right knee injury but was able to return to the contest. Despite missing some time in this game, Mixon has rushed the ball 18 times for 77 yards, and he added a catch for another […]

Dede Westbrook Has PPR Upside In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught five of his six targets for 51 yards in Week 1's victory over the New York Giants. He'll look to continue that usage against the Patriots in Week 2. Westbrook was the most targeted receiver for Jacksonville against the Giants and while he wasn't able to match teammate […]

Keelan Cole Is A Risky Play In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole led the team in receiving yards against the Giants in Week 1 with 54 of them on three catches, but he finished fifth on the team in targets and could face similar struggles against New England in Week 2. The Jacksonville passing game -- and the receiver situation in […]

Blake Bortles Has Tough Matchup Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will look to improve on an inconsistent Week 1 performance in his Week 2 meeting with the New England Patriots, but it could be a bit of an uphill battle for Bortles. The Patriots defense held Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson to just 176 yards last week; with a weaker supporting […]

Nyheim Hines' Role Could Be Reduced

Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts rookie Nyheim Hines was the most effective of the three running backs to receive snaps. While he doesn't add much in the way of running, he was an effective pass catcher out of the backfield. Veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring) is expected to return this week, which could […]

Lions Need Matthew Stafford To Be Better In Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was awful in Week 1 against the Jets. He threw four interceptions for the first time in since 2013. He completed 27 of 46 passes for just 286 yards in a game where the Lions spent the second half passing almost exclusively. This week, the Lions travel to San Francisco, […]

Joe Mixon Injures Knee Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) injured his knee on Thursday against the Ravens and is questionable to return. Mixon also left the game in the first half for a series to be checked on. Before leaving he had 14 carries for 48 yards and added one catch for three yards. Mixon didn't look […]

Texans Excited About Jordan Thomas

Houston Texans rookie tight end Jordan Thomas hauled in a 27-yard reception in last Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots, but he was targeted just two times and didn't play a huge role in the team's offense. That could change moving forward as the Texans coaching staff has liked what they've seen from Thomas. […]
