J.K. Dobbins Unlikely To Play In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Week 1 against the New York Jets.

Is Irv Smith Jr. Healthy or Injured? Should I Start Smith for Week 1 Fantasy Football?

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (thumb) was drafted back in 2019 but hasn't quite emerged as a fantasy contributor due to his position on the depth chart, as well as injuries.

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is not expected to play in Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson, who was shot twice in the leg during a robbery attempt in August, has a "realistic chance" to return in Week 5, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Drake London Expected To Play In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) is expected to be active on Sunday. He'll make his NFL debut against the New Orleans Saints. The USC product has a tricky matchup on tap in the form of Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, which puts a cap on his upside and limits him to the low-end […]

Mike Evans Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has recorded eight straight 1,000-yard campaigns and will look to make it nine in 2022. He will be quarterback Tom Brady's top target in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys if Chris Godwin (knee) cannot suit up. Sunday Night Football between Dallas and Tampa Bay is projected to […]

Leonard Fournette Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette put his weight/conditioning concerns behind him in training camp and looked sharp in the preseason.

Daurice Fountain Added To Active Roster For Week 1

Trenton Cannon Will Be On Active Roster On Sunday

Tennessee Titans running back Trenton Cannon has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's bout against the New York Giants.

Patriots Elevate Lil'Jordan Humphrey

New England Patriots wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey was elevated from the practice squad, putting him on the active roster for the season opener versus the Dolphins. The 24-year-old looked good during training camp, so adding him was likely an easy decision for the coaching staff. Nevertheless, with Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Ty Montgomery (knee) questionable […]

Jeff Driskel Called Up For Week 1

Houston Texans quarterback Jeff Driskel has been promoted from the practice squad and will be available for the season opener versus the Colts. The Texans had only two quarterbacks on the depth chart heading into Week 1, so the move was made for obvious reasons. With that said, even if Davis Mills goes down with […]
