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. […]

Bruce Ellington A Risky Play In Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Bruce Ellington's Week 2 outlook is murky at this point as the team waits to see if receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) will be ready to go in Sunday's matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Though Ellington found the end zone against the Patriots with Fuller out, he struggled in a similar situation […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains Must-Start In Week 2

Despite missing practice on Wednesday with a foot issue, Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is expected to play in Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Hopkins, who failed to reach 100 yards or find the end zone in Week 1, recorded 187 yards and a touchdown in two games against the Titans […]

C.J. Mosley Doubtful To Return

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his knee and is doubtful to return on Thursday against the Bengals. While Mosley is unlikely to finish off the game, it's good news in the long run for Baltimore's defense and Mosley's IDP owners. He won't be a lock to play […]

Lamar Miller Could Have Big Day Against Titans

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller narrowly missed out on a 100-yard game to open the 2018 season in last Sunday's loss to the Patriots, but he'll have a good chance to get there against the Titans on Sunday. After allowing Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake to combine for 109 rushing yards in Week 1, […]

Deshaun Watson Should Rebound Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson got off to a slow start in Houston's Week 1 loss to the Patriots, but the second-year passer will look to get things back on track Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Last season, Watson was 25-for-34 for 283 yards, four touchdown, and an interception against the Titans while also rushing […]

Jordan Wilkins' Role To Be Reduced

Last week, Indianapolis Colts rookie Jordan Wilkins was the lead running back, and while he will still get some rushing touches, the expected return of veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring) will limit his overall role within the offense. The Washington Redskins feature a stout front, and with the Colts limited offensive line, they could cause some […]

Jonnu Smith Set To Start In Week 2

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is set to start in place of the injured Delanie Walker against the Houston Texans in Week 2. Smith has been productive in limited use and is very athletic, but he is not likely to replace the production of Walker going forward. Smith is definitely a viable streamer at […]

C.J. Mosley Injures Knee Thursday

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) left the game early on Thursday with a knee injury. Mosley came into this week as a top-10 IDP linebacker, so a serious injury would be a huge loss for both the Ravens defense and Mosley's IDP owners. Check back for updates on the severity of Mosley's knee injury […]

Corey Davis Limited In Practice Going Into Week 2

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was limited in Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, according to Jim Wyatt. Davis battled a hamstring injury in the preseason and last season as well, making this news a little more concerning for fantasy owners. Davis denied that the hamstring was any issue, stating, "I'm good. My hamstring […]

Seahawks Sign Mychal Kendricks

The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent linebacker Mychal Kendricks to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to sources. Kendricks was released by the Browns after he was charged with insider trading. With K.J. Wright still out with an injury, Kendricks is expected to play in Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. Kendricks spent the […]

Dion Lewis Looking To Build On Strong Week 1 Outing

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis played very well in Week 1, finishing with 110 total yards and a touchdown. Lewis was clearly a focal point in the offense as he out-snapped Derrick Henry 49 to 20. While it is unlikely for Lewis to continue seeing this volume of work, he is obviously more to […]

Marlon Mack Should Return In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) has practiced in some fashion for four straight days this week. Last season, Mack flashed some big-play ability with his elite breakaway speed. He lacks the prototypical size to run between the tackles, which is why the Colts frequently scheme to get him out on the edge. Against the […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Bounce Back In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was unable to get much going in Week 1 aside from a long touchdown which was called back, finishing with only 26 yards on 10 carries. Henry was the first one to admit that he was not happy with his play against the Miami Dolphins, stating, "I feel like […]

Marcus Mariota A Shaky Option In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) was limited in Thursday's practice, leaving his status for the Week 2 matchup with Houston uncertain. Head coach Mike Vrabel has insisted that he is still optimistic that Mariota will be able to play on Sunday, but it is looking like it might be a game-time decision. Even if […]

Travis Kelce Should Rebound in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce finished with just one reception in the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. He was targeted six times, but clearly does not have chemistry with new quarterback Patrick Mahomes just yet. The Steelers defense was strong against tight ends last season. It's tough to imagine Kelce having a […]

Sammy Watkins Remains Shaky Option for Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had an underwhelming performance against the Chargers in Week 1. He caught three passes for 21 yards and did not score a touchdown. Watkins will face off against a Steelers defense that kept the Browns to 150 yards in Week 1. Cleveland is not known for their great […]

Tyreek Hill Remains WR1 in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an impressive game against the Chargers in Week 1. Hill finished with 169 yards and two touchdowns, while also scoring a punt return. He'll face a Steelers defense that struggled to contain Jarvis Landry in Week 1. Hill should have no problem against the Steelers in Week […]

Kareem Hunt Should Run Wild in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was held to 49 rushing yards during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. Hunt is normally able to at least be mediocre even on a bad week, but he couldn't get anything going in Week 1. He should play better in Week 2 against a Steelers defense […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Face Tougher Challenge in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was absolutely fantastic during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. He threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns without a single interception. However, the Steelers defense held the Browns to 150 passing yards in Week 1. To be fair, the Browns aren't known for their great offense, but […]

Marshawn Lynch Upgraded To Full Practice

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) and wide receiver Brandon LaFell (back) were both upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Receiver Dwayne Harris (foot) was limited for the second straight day. Lynch was never expected to be in danger of missing Week 2 against the Broncos. Consider him […]

Robert Griffin III Inactive In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Bengals on Thursday. RG3 was also a healthy scratch in the season opener. Athletic rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson remains the direct backup to Joe Flacco, and he'll likely have some packages to work with again on […]

Mark Walton, Cody Core Inactive On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Mark Walton and wide receivers Cody Core and Auden Tate are all inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens on Thursday. All three were also inactive in the season opener against the Colts and are nowhere near the fantasy radar, for obvious reasons.
