Derrick Henry Readies To Suit Up For Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot, rest) has been held out of preseason contests this year in an attempt to ease the back into action. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the Titans' star rusher is "on schedule" for the team's season-opening contest against the Giants on Sept. 11. Prior to a foot injury curtailing […]

Off-The-Radar Fantasy Football Sleepers Who Could Make Noise - Tyler Johnson, Hayden Hurst, Justin Watson, and more

The term "sleeper" has been overused and abused by the fantasy community. The fact is that almost anyone can be a sleeper if you frame it the right way. It's gotten to the point that we can identify several subcategories of sleepers. First, there's the non-sleeper: a player so obvious that it barely qualifies but […]

Dolphins Cancel Joint Practice Due To Illness

The Miami Dolphins decided to cancel their joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday due to a stomach bug going around the clubhouse. The team reported that several players are sick and were vomiting overnight. It's unclear when they'll resume practicing or whether this will have any impact on their final preseason game Saturday […]

Welcome back to another article in our fantasy football ADP draft risers and fallers – today we'll be looking at wide receiver risers. I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you know what it is about. Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where […]

Giants Cut Tight End Jordan Akins

New York Giants tight end Jordan Akins was cut by the team on Wednesday. NFL teams are working their way through the roster deadlines, resulting in several players around the league being released. The former Texan is one of the latest to experience this and will now be forced to search for a new team. […]

Adam Koffler's Bold Predictions for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season

If you don't appreciate a good bold prediction, you don't like fun. Bold predictions are inherently fun and elicit strong reactions from lots of people. Now, bold predictions, while bold of course, should have sound justification for why they could come to fruition. While I really like Nyheim Hines this season, stating he'll be a […]

Later-Round Wide Receiver Draft Values for Fantasy Football - Best Ball Targets Include Chris Olave, Jalen Tolbert, Nico Collins

We have progressed into the final days of August, and many of you will maintain your involvement in best-ball leagues until the regular season is underway. The decisions that you make during every round remain important since the absence of in-season roster management also eviscerates any opportunity to use a waiver wire if your players […]

Mid-Round Quarterback Draft Values for Fantasy Football

Once you reach the middle rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside players that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take some risks on a variety of different players, including forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]

Miles Sanders Considered Eagles Lead Back

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has made it clear that running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is the team's lead back, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott playing complementary roles. That's how it was in 2021 as well, but injuries cut into Sanders' production and allowed Gainwell to have a strong rookie season. If Sanders […]

Is Miles Sanders Injured for Week 1? Should I Draft Sanders or Kenneth Gainwell for Fantasy

I hate to say it, but this isn’t the first time we’ve had concern for a Miles Sanders injury. The Eagles starting running back has missed the last week of practice and the team's second preseason game while nursing a hamstring injury. Sanders has dealt with some injuries in each of the last two seasons. […]

Cam Akers Not A Lock For RB1 Duties To Open The Season

ESPN's Sarah Barshop doesn't think it's a lock that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers will start the regular season as the team's true RB1. Both head coach Sean McVay and offensive coordinator Liam Coen said the Rams plan to use both Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. regularly. Akers could end the season as […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Atop The RB Depth Chart

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is clearly atop the running back depth chart, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher. However, it seems as though rookie Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon could carve out significant roles based on their strong play in training camp and the preseason. But the Chiefs haven't committed to anything behind […]

James Robinson Will Be Eased In

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the team won't give him his normal workload when he first gets back. Travis Etienne Jr. will be the team's RB1 in terms of workload when the season starts, even if Robinson is cleared to […]

Tom Brady Will Start In Preseason Finale

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will start the team's preseason finale on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Any player that is healthy will play in the game. Brady returned from a lengthy absence due to a personal reason on Monday this week and has looked good in training […]

J.K. Dobbins Won't Have Full Workload Early On

Even if Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) suits up for the Week 1 season opener against the New York Jets, which isn't a guarantee at this point, he won't have a full workload. He's been pushing team officials to get back on the field, but the Ravens want to be cautious with their […]

JC Tretter Announces His Retirement

Center JC Tretter announced his retirement from professional football on his Twitter account on Thursday. He was originally a fourth-round selection in the 2013 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers out of Cornell. Tretter spent the first three years of his NFL career in Green Bay before joining the Cleveland Browns, where he played […]

Giants Sign Tanner Hudson

The New York Giants signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers tight end Tanner Hudson to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. The Giants placed veteran Ricky Seals-Jones on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday and also cut Jordan Akins, so they were in need of some reinforcements at an extremely thin position. Hudson was […]

Scott Engel's Updated Fantasy Football Rankings and Draft Risers

As the preseason moves toward its conclusion, we have a much better handle on where to firmly rank and target certain players. There has been a lot of movement in my rankings throughout the preseason, but they will soon be finalized for the most part. You can view my ranks here following my list of […]

Is Mike Evans Injured or Healthy? Where Should I Draft Mike Evans for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has often found himself on the injury report, causing fantasy managers to sweat out start-or-sit decisions during the regular season. However, his injury concerns have also followed him just about every offseason for the last few seasons. Of course, injuries are a hot topic right before the thick […]

Is Kyler Murray's Injury History a Concern? Where Should I Draft Kyler Murray for Fantasy Football

Kyler Murray is one of the NFL's budding young stars at the quarterback position. In what seems to be a league going away from the prototypical pocket passers, Murray can do it all on the ground and through the air. He ended the 2021 season with 3,794 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns, and 5 rushing […]

James Robinson "So Close" To Week 1 Return

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) has been steadily making progress during training camp. Last week, he was taking part in team drills and making open-field cuts/moves. When interviewed on Tuesday, the 24-year-old described himself as "so close" to being ready for Week 1. He also expressed that he is "itching to get out […]

Jalen Hurts Praised By Dolphins Coach Mike McDaniel

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has received a lot of positive reports from within the organization, and he's also getting noticed by opposing coaches. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel had lots of praise for the 24-year-old, saying, "I think he's really developing in his pass game. He's always been able to throw really well, […]

Tyron Smith Tears Hamstring, Out Indefinitely

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tryon Smith (hamstring) suffered a torn left hamstring in training camp practice on Wednesday. This was further clarified to be an avulsion fracture of the knee, meaning the hamstring tendon at the back of his knee was pulled off. The former All-Pro will reportedly require surgery and is expected to be […]

Dontrell Hilliard The Handcuff Choice For Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard has looked tremendous in the third-down role in training camp and is a significant upgrade over Jeremy McNichols. Hilliard has clearly been the second-best back on the roster, and The Athletic's Joe Rexrode believes Hilliard would see the bulk of the work if Derrick Henry were to miss any […]

Rachaad White Could Have A Decent Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Rachaad White has impressed in preseason action and could receive decent carries and catches if he's the No. 2 RB in the offense behind Leonard Fournette in 2022. The Athletic's Greg Auman thinks White could be a valuable fantasy selection in deeper single-year leagues at a current ADP of […]

Travis Homer Has Been Explosive

With Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) sidelined, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas have run the ball well in training camp. Homer has been particularly explosive, which may mean a running-back-by-committee situation for the Seahawks to begin the regular season. Homer has proven more effective as a runner and pass-blocker than Dallas, […]

Danny Gray Could Be A Dark-Horse Contributor

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Danny Gray has been too fast for anyone to cover one-on-one if the team gives quarterback Trey Lance enough time to throw this summer. Gray has the potential to be a dark-horse fantasy contributor in his rookie season, and fantasy managers can expect chunk yards and at least a […]

Tyler Conklin Has Been A Big Surprise On Offense

The New York Jets signed C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin and drafted Jeremy Ruckert this offseason, but it's been Conklin who has emerged as the favorite target for both quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco in training camp. He's been one of the biggest surprises on offense, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Conklin is […]

Michael Thomas Looking Like His Old Self

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) hasn't been healthy in two years, but he's looking like his old self despite tweaking his hamstring late in training camp. The Saints have been cautious with how much Thomas has practiced this summer, but when he's been on the field he's been crisp and hasn't looked […]

Titans Acquire Ugo Amadi From Eagles

The Tennessee Titans acquired safety Ugo Amadi from the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday in exchange for late 2024 draft picks, according to a source. The Eagles had recently acquired Amadi in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. Amadi should serve as useful secondary depth in Tennessee. The 25-year-old was originally a fourth-round pick by the […]
