Sony Michel, Jacob Hollister Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and tight end Jacob Hollister (hamstring) were limited in practice on Wednesday. It remains up in the air whether Michel will make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Jaguars, but Rex Burkhead's (concussion) injury may play a part. If both Burkhead and Michel are […]

Rex Burkhead Misses Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (concussion) missed practice on Wednesday and is in the concussion protocol. That's bad news as the team prepares to face the tough defense of the Jaguars in Week 2 on the road. Burkhead remains the best fantasy option in this backfield when he's healthy, but he's now a […]

Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Miss Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (illness) and Ted Ginn (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. Thomas should be fine, while Ginn's knee injury is a bit worrisome. Thomas remains the team's unquestioned top wideout and had a whopping 16 catches on 17 targets for 180 yards and a score in the season opener. […]

Jarvis Landry Practicing In Full

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (thigh) practiced in full on Wednesday. Landry should have no problems suiting up in Week 2 and has an excellent matchup against a Saints secondary that almost gave up 50 points to Bucs quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1. Last year's leader in receptions, Landry had seven grabs on […]

Olivier Vernon Misses Another Practice

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. The Giants have been optimistic that Vernon can return soon, but it might be another week before we see him make his season debut while dealing with a high ankle sprain. If he's out for a second straight week, that will be […]

Matt Bryant Hoping To Cash In On Falcons Red-Zone Woes

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant is the only person on the Falcons team who benefits from the Falcons issues within the red zone. The teams inability to get the ball into the end zone means that there should be plenty of opportunities for Bryant to make field goals. Unless the Falcons can fix their issues […]

Rex Burkhead Could Struggle Against Jaguars Defense

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead faces a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Jaguars and their elite defense. Burkhead registered 64 rushing yards in Week 1 and the Patriots are very thin at running back right now. Burkhead is also in concussion protocol and missed practice on Wednesday. If he suits up, […]

Marquise Goodwin Misses Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (thigh) will not practice on Wednesday and is in line to be questionable for Week 2 against the Lions. Goodwin put up a donut for fantasy owners in the season opener because of his injury, and he might not play this weekend. If he sits out, receiver Pierre […]

Tom Brady To Face Tough Road Test In Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will face his first test of the season, taking on a tough Jaguars defense in Jacksonville for Week 2. The Jaguars have to be thirsty for revenge after Brady and Co. edged Jacksonville 24-20 in the 2017 AFC Championship Game. Brady completed 26 of 38 passes in that game […]

Carson Wentz, Darren Sproles Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) and wide receiver Shelton Gibson (knee) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Wentz will sit out another week in favor of Nick Foles. Sproles should be fine to play in Week 2 against the Buccaneers, but he's nothing more than a flex play […]

Devin Funchess A Flex Option For Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess is not a strong option for fantasy owners in his matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons may be without starting safety Keanu Neal, but with the Panthers also missing tight end Greg Olsen, the Panthers are likely to struggle in the passing game. In his Week 1 encounter […]

Ezekiel Ansah Hopeful Of Playing In Week 2

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) underwent an MRI exam that didn't show a significant injury. He's now hoping to play in Week 2 against the 49ers, according to a source. Ansah did manage a sack in the first half last Monday against the Jets before leaving the game. His return is essential to […]

C.J. Anderson Likely A Bench Player For Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson will hope that he is able to add to the 35 yards he managed in his opener against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. While quarterback Cam Newton was the teams highest rusher in the opener against the Dallas Cowboys, the Falcons are likely to scheme against him being […]

Matt Barkley Released With Injury Settlement

The Cincinnati Bengals released quarterback Matt Barkley (knee) from the Injured Reserve with an injury settlement on Wednesday. Jeff Driskel will move forward as the main backup to Andy Dalton. The Bengals are set to face the Ravens in Week 2 on Thursday night.

Taylor Lewan Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday and was sent home and told to rest by the medical staff. That's not a good sign for the team's top offensive lineman heading into a matchup against a Texans team with a strong pass rush. Quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is also dealing […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To See More Targets

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is set to see more targets in his Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The news that tight end Greg Olsen is set to miss significant time should mean that the Panthers and quarterback Cam Newton look to McCaffrey more often. McCaffrey had 50 yards on the ground […]

Marcus Mariota Should Play In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) practiced on Wednesday and is "feeling good," according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Barring a setback, Mariota should be good to go for Week 2 against the Texans. How productive he'll be if he plays is an entirely different story. The Titans are dealing with injuries to their two […]

Hayden Hurst Ruled Out

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) didn't practice all week and is ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Bengals on Thursday. Wide receiver Janarion Grant was limited the last two days but is questionable. Hurst may not be able to return for at least another week or two. In his […]

Sterling Shepard Limited Wednesday For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Shepard should be able to play in Week 2 in a great matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night. The 25-year-old had five grabs (seven targets) for 48 yards in the season opener. While he's no longer the first option for […]

Cam Newton Continues Tough Matchups

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton continues his tough opening schedule on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. In Newton's opening game he was held to just 161 yards against the Dallas Cowboys, with the majority of his fantasy production coming from his 58 yards and touchdown on the ground. The Falcons defense may be missing […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Limited

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (knee) was also limited. ASF came into Week 1 as a sleeper tight end, but he caught just three passes (five targets) for 25 yards. He should be able to play in Week 2 against the Patriots, where […]

Raiders Signing Johnathan Hankins

The Oakland Raiders are signing free-agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins on Wednesday. Unsurprisingly, the Raiders had trouble getting to the quarterback in Week 1 against the Rams after trading away their best edge rusher in Khalil Mack. Oakland is also beat up on the defensive line already, so Hankins could have an immediate role. How […]

Kenneth Dixon Placed On IR

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed running back De'Lance Turner to the active roster. That escalated quickly. Dixon just hasn't been able to avoid knee injuries in his career. He also missed all of the 2017 season. With Dixon out of the picture for at […]

Davante Adams Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) was held out of practice with a shoulder injury on Wednesday. He fell on it awkwardly in the Week 1 win over the Bears but said he feels good about his chances of playing in Week 2 against the Vikings. Adams should be able to suit up. […]

Luke Kuechly Practices In Full

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. Kuechly had 11 tackles and two assists in the Week 1 win against the Cowboys and remains a strong IDP linebacker as long as he's healthy. The 27-year-old has had problems with head injuries in recent seasons and hasn't played a full year since […]

C.J. Anderson, Curtis Samuel Not Practicing

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson (illness) and wide receivers Curtis Samuel (heart) and Damiere Byrd (knee) are all sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Anderson should be able to play this week but remains the second fiddle behind Christian McCaffrey and an already-depleted offensive line. Samuel is dealing with complications from an irregular heartbeat […]

Trai Turner Has Concussion

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) is on the injury report on Wednesday and did not practice. Both left tackle Matt Kalil and right tackle Daryl Williams are already on the Injured Reserve, so losing Turner for any amount of time might be a disastrous blow. Carolina's weak O-line will certainly hurt the rushing […]

Marlon Mack Practicing Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday for the third time in a row dating back to last week. Mack was inactive in Week 1 against the Bengals but has a better shot to make his season debut this weekend against the Redskins. With Mack out in the season opener, rookie […]

Geoff Swaim Could Be Useful in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim could be a useful floor play in Week 2 against the New York Giants. Swaim dominated snaps in Week 1, playing on 58 of the 64 offensive snaps taken by the Cowboys. Combine that with the fact that the Giants defense tends to struggle against tight ends, and you […]

Michael Gallup Not a Good Option for Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a strong option for Week 2 against the New York Giants. While fantasy owners still have hope that Gallup could develop into something useful as the season goes on, Week 2 is unlikely to be that week. In a matchup that is expected to be very […]
