Tarik Cohen Is Boom-Or-Bust Against Seahawks

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will try and bust loose for a big play against the Seahawks in the Week 2 matchup on Monday night. Cohen was active in the first half of the Bears loss to the Green Bay in Week 1 but disappeared in the second half. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky missed a […]

Martavis Bryant Says He'll Be Ready

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who was re-signed on Tuesday, says he'll be ready for Week 2 against the Broncos. Bryant was a disaster in training camp and was outplayed by practice squad players. He should help Oakland's offense stretch the field, but quarterback Derek Carr has proved inept at connecting with his receivers […]

DeVante Parker, Danny Amendola Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (finger) and Danny Amendola both practiced in full on Thursday. Parker was limited on Wednesday, while Amendola was rested. Parker sat out Week 1 and missed a lot of training camp and the preseason, so it's fair to have hesitation about starting him this weekend against the Jets. Amendola […]

No Timetable For Curtis Samuel's Return

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said it has been "so far, so good" for wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart), but there remains no timetable for his return. Samuel has yet to practice since being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat before Week 1 and doesn't appear close to returning. He's one to leave on the […]

Jordan Howard Should See Increase In Touches

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard is coming off of a strong Week 1 after posting 107 yards from scrimmage against Green Bay. Howard made some excellent cuts in the running game and averaged 5.5 yards per carry. Howard and the Bears will face a Seahawks defense on Monday night that is undergoing an overhaul […]

Christian McCaffrey To Maintain Heavy Workload

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said the goal is for running back Christian McCaffrey to run between 15 to 20 times per game and to catch between six and 10 passes per game. With tight end Greg Olsen (foot) out for an extended time, McCaffrey could be even more utilized in the offense as […]

Mitch Trubisky Still In Prove-It Mode

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will get an opportunity to put a full game together when the Bears take on the Seahawks Monday night. Trubisky looked fantastic in the first half against the Packers in Week 1 but conservative play-calling and indecisiveness led to a fantasy dud in the second half. The second-year quarterback has […]

Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Return To Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (illness) and Ted Ginn (knee) were back at practice on Thursday after both sat out on Wednesday. It's a positive development and signals that both receivers should be good to go for Week 2 against the Browns. Thomas is a must-start WR1 that had an insane 16 catches […]

Leonard Fournette Could Be Game-Time Decision

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) said he could be a game-time decision for Week 2 against the Patriots. “I started running on it today (he didn’t practice). It feels good. So that’s progress. We’ll see. It’s a gametime decision... I like my chances more and more as the day has gone on," Fournette […]

Amari Cooper, Jared Cook To Be Moved Around

Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that wide receiver Amari Cooper and tight end Jared Cook will be moved around the formations "a lot." “We’re going to move Cook and Cooper around a lot. Critical to our success," Olson said. Both players were moved around often in the Week 1 loss to the Rams […]

Roquan Smith Has Earned More Playing Time

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that he thinks rookie linebacker Roquan Smith has earned more playing time heading into Week 2 against the Seahawks on Monday night. While it still may be premature to roll with Smith in IDP leagues, he's already trending up after recording three tackles in a sack in his […]

Will Fuller Hopeful Of Playing

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) practiced again on Thursday and is hopeful of making his season debut in Week 2 against the Titans. Fuller is on the right track after missing the season opener against the Patriots. He could be a game-time decision, though, so he'll remain a risky boom/bust WR4/flex option for […]

David Johnson Looks Fine

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back), who was limited in practice on Wednesday, was hitting the blocking sled pretty hard in the early portion of practice on Thursday. Despite his injury and somewhat disappointing performance in the season opener, Johnson should play and should be considered a top-five fantasy running back against the Rams.

Joey Bosa Not Expected To Need Surgery

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot), who will miss Week 2 against the Bills, is not expected to need surgery on his injured foot, which is a new injury from the one that held him out of the preseason. However, Bosa is week-to-week and seems likely to miss Week 3 against the Rams […]

DeSean Jackson, Jason Pierre-Paul Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (concussion, shoulder) and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) returned to practice in the portion open to the media on Thursday. It's a positive development, but both players could still remain questionable for Week 2 against the Eagles. D-Jax went off in Week 1 for two touchdowns, but he'll […]

Mitch Trubisky Working On Pocket Awareness

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky said a point of emphasis for him moving forward will be his pocket awareness, calm feet in the pocket and trusting his eyes. Trubisky wasn't very good in Week 1 against the Packers, going 23-for-35 for just 171 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. However, he did run seven times […]

DeVante Parker Itching To Play This Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) seems fine and is "itching to play" in Week 2 against the Jets, according to head coach Adam Gase. Parker sat out the opener but looks primed to make his season debut this Sunday. His return is bad news for Kenny Stills, who had over 100 yards and […]

Darren Sproles, Shelton Gibson Miss Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) and wide receiver Shelton Gibson (knee) both missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Mid-week practice downgrades are never a good sign, so consider both players questionable for Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Sproles will continue to mix in behind Jay Ajayi when he's healthy, but […]

Rex Burkhead Looks Limited Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (concussion) appeared to be limited, at best, in practice on Thursday. The fact that Burkhead is practicing at all is a good sign after he was diagnosed with a concussion, but his status for Week 2 against the Jaguars is iffy right now. With both he and rookie […]

Eagles Release Markus Wheaton

The Philadelphia Eagles released wide receiver Markus Wheaton in order to make room on the roster for recently-signed wideout Kamar Aiken. Wheaton, who re-signed with the team on Sept. 4, saw sparse action in the season opener. He lined up as a receiver on two snaps and was on special teams against Atlanta. The eight-year veteran […]

Eric Berry Still Out Thursday Ahead Of Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains out of practice on Thursday. At this point, Berry seems doubtful to play in Week 2 against the Steelers. KC's secondary is ripe for the picking without Berry in the picture. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his receivers are strong plays this weekend as a result.

Devonta Freeman Out Again Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) missed a second straight practice on Thursday, and head coach Dan Quinn said the team will have a good idea of Freeman's status on Friday. Freeman will likely have to get in at least a limited practice in order to have a shot at playing in Week 2 […]

Joe Flacco Finally Healthy And It Is Making A Difference

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is 100 percent healthy for the first time in three seasons, and it showed in Week 1. Against Buffalo in the season opener, Flacco looked more decisive, mobile and accurate than he has in a long time. He picked the Bills defense apart as he completed 25 of his 34 […]

Ricky Seals-Jones A Risky Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones is a risky option against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Seals-Jones will most certainly get the most looks out of any tight end on the roster, but the Rams tough defense will make it difficult to generate much out of those targets. Seals-Jones is a low-end TE2 […]

Chad Williams And Christian Kirk Can Improve In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Chad Williams and Christian Kirk can both improve in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. After both young wideouts failed to impress in the team's opening week, they will hope to rebound against one of the toughest secondaries in football. Therefore, neither Williams nor Kirk should be considered a starting […]

Corey Davis Says He's Fine

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) said he's fine heading into Week 2 against the Texans. Davis should be fine to play this Sunday against Houston. He's not the sexiest fantasy weapon in a run-first offense, but keep in mind that he was targeted 13 times in Week 1 and caught six passes for […]

Larry Fitzgerald A Solid WR2 for Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald should once again be considered a solid WR2 for the team's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fitzgerald is almost guaranteed to lead the team in targets and catches, making him dangerous to have a good game almost every single week. Therefore, Fitzgerald should be considered a high-floor option […]

David Johnson Hopes To Do Better In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson will hope to improve on his solid performance last week in his Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Johnson has shown that he is virtually matchup proof; however, he needs to do better in the receiving game to generate consistent fantasy returns. The veteran running back should […]

Raiders Want To Get Amari Cooper Going

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden wants to get wide receiver Amari Cooper going after his Week 1 dud against the Rams in which he caught just one pass on three targets for nine yards. "You look at the film, we had him wide open deep," Gruden said Wednesday of Cooper. "We didn't go there. […]

Sam Bradford Hopes To Rebound In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will hope for a rebound performance in his team's second game of the season. However, facing a formidable Rams defense, it may be difficult to generate a significant stat-line on the night. Therefore, Bradford should be considered a low-end QB2 for Week 2 in what should definitely be a tough […]
