Sterling Shepard Not Worth A Week 1 Start

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will go up against a stingy Jaguars defense this Sunday to begin the season.

Odell Beckham Jr. Ready For Tough Jags Defense

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is ready to put last season's injury-plagued season behind him. He signed a lucrative long-term deal and still is one of the most explosive receivers in the game. But his fantasy season may get off to a tough start against a Jaguars defense that suffocated opposing passing […]

Greg Olsen Offers Decent Tight End Option On Sunday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen should be a solid start against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. The Cowboys were 16th against tight ends last year, giving up an average of 6.9 points per game.

Cam Newton Has Great Opportunity This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a great opportunity to play the Dallas Cowboys in his season opener on Sunday.

Given the dual […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin and DeSean Jackson are listed as starters opposite Mike Evans on the team's first regular season depth chart.

[…]

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will be hoping to make his offseason work with quarterback Matt Ryan count in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.

Kenyan Drake Maturing, Work Ethic Improving

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has matured significantly over the offseason and is ready to work harder than ever.

Saquon Barkley Has Tough Matchup For Week 1

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will make his NFL debut this Sunday but could be in line for a rude awakening.

The new-look Giants offense will be tested early […]

Tevin Coleman Relying On A Touchdown For A Big Opener

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman will be relying on finding the end zone for a big day on Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Eli Manning To Face Stout Jaguars Defense Week 1

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will have his hands full to open the season when the Giants host the Jaguars.

Jay Ajayi Practices In Full Tuesday

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (foot) practiced in full on Tuesday after being limited on Monday.

Chris Hogan Will Be Top Week 1 Target Against Texans

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan is ready to roll and should see plenty of targets Week 1 against the Texans.

James White Rising Up Week 1 Rankings

New England Patriots running back James White should see plenty of targets Week 1 against the Texans.

Rob Gronkowski Has Great Opening Matchup Against Texans

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will have an excellent Week 1 matchup against the Texans to begin the season.

Dolphins Name Both Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore Starters

The Miami Dolphins named either Kenyan Drake or Frank Gore as their starting running backs. Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald was specific in that either one of them could be the starter.

Sony Michel Needs To Be Stashed To Begin Season

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel is back on the practice field but may not see a ton of touches in Week 1 against the Texans. Former running back Reggie Bush told USA Today that Michel "could be rookie of the year" but has been battling a knee injury during the preseason. The Patriots […]

Alfred Morris a Risky Week 1 Play

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris took second-team repetitions during Monday's practice and appears to be a risky Week 1 play. Morris is still learning the playbook after signing with the team just three weeks ago, so temper expectations for his matchup against the Vikings on Sunday. His workload should increase in the coming […]

MarQueis Gray Wins Tight End Job

The Miami Dolphins have named MarQueis Gray as the starting tight end. Gray edged out rookie Mike Gesicki for the starting role. Gray is currently dealing with concussion-like symptoms and is questionable for week one. He is entering his sixth NFL season, but this will be Gray's first opportunity as a starter. He's never had […]

Tom Brady Looks To Shred Texans Again In Week 1

Dolphins Name Starting Wide Receivers

The Miami Dolphins have released their depth chart, naming Danny Amendola, Kenny Stills, and Devante Parker as their three starting wide receivers.

Stills is the most exciting of […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Has Difficult Week 1 Matchup

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could struggle on Sunday against a Vikings defense that allowed just 11.7 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position last season.

Texans Work Out Pair Of Receivers

The Houston Texans brought in two wide receivers on Tuesday for workouts -- former Packer DeAngelo Yancey and former Seahawk Malik Turner. After cutting Braxton Miller, the Texans enter the 2018 season with Vyncint Smith as the final receiver on the roster, so it would make sense that the Texans are exploring other options. Regardless […]

Teddy Bridgewater Excited To Work With Drew Brees

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater says that he is excited to work with and learn from Drew Brees. After being traded from the New York Jets less than a week ago, Bridgewater is on a one-year contract with the Saints. At nearly 40 years old, Brees will certainly be leaving the NFL in the […]
