Alexander Mattison's Pass Catching Upside Makes Him Startable In Deep-Leagues

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison showcased his valuable role in the Raiders offense (as valuable as a role in that backfield can be) when he was targeted six times in Week 1, catching four passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. He will try to keep things rolling in a tough matchup against […]

Zamir White Could Need Positive Game Script To Outproduce Alexander Mattison

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White will need a positive game-script against the Ravens to outproduce his backfield mate Alexander Mattison in Week 2. Mattison is the passing-down back, and in losing games where the Raiders are forced to pass more, he should take the lead. That happened in Week 1, with White only […]

Darius Slayton Limited In Practice Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion protocol) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. This is somewhat of an upgrade given that he wasn't able to practice at all on Wednesday. Still, he'll have to clear concussion protocol before the Giants can make him active in Week 2. If he does suit […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Exits Week 2 Early With Injury

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique) exited Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills and did not return. He finished Week 2 with just two catches for 12 yards through the air.

Gardner Minshew II Needs To Limit Mistakes, Risky Play For Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II needs to limit costly mistakes, like fumbles and interceptions, if he wants a victory over the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 2 matchup.

Stroud and the Houston Texans (1-0). Both of these fanbases have […]

Jakobi Meyers Risky Flex Play Against The Ravens

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is a risky flex play in a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. He only had three catches in Week 1 against the Chargers but made the most of his limited touches as he was the team's leading receiver. The 27-year-old had the biggest offensive […]

Josh Downs Puts In Another Limited Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Downs suffered a left high-ankle sprain during training camp and did not recover enough to play in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans. The 23-year-old appears to be […]

Tua Tagovailoa Ruled Out With A Concussion

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) left Thursday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to another scary head injury.

Terrel Bernard Uncertain To Return

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral) is listed as questionable to return during Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Bernard made two tackles before being forced to the sideline during the first half of the game. The Bills will likely wait until after halftime to decide whether or not Bernard will return to this contest. […]

Joey Bosa Misses Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher Joey Bosa (back) was unable to get on the practice field on Thursday. This is alarming after Bosa opened the week as a limited participant on Wednesday. It sounds like the back issue is severe enough to keep him out of practice, which means he could be in danger of […]

Jauan Jennings Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. This is now back-to-back limited practice sessions for Jennings to open the week. This isn't a good look after Jennings suffered an ankle injury during the season opener. The hope is that Jennings will practice in […]

C.J. Stroud In QB1 Territory For SNF Matchup Against Chicago

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud certainly gave reason for optimism about his second season in Week 1. Last year's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year went 24-of-32 passing for 234 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers while adding 14 yards on the ground. He now faces a Chicago Bears defense that held the Tennessee Titans […]

Joe Mixon A Must-Start In Week 2 Versus Bears

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon will parlay a superb team debut into a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. The former Bengal was involved early and often in Houston's 29-27 win at Indianapolis, gaining 159 yards and scoring a touchdown on 30 carries while catching all three of his targets for […]

Dalton Schultz Dealing With Ankle Sprain

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) picked up an injury during Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old has missed practice each of the last two days. It's now being announced that Schultz is dealing with an ankle sprain. The good news is that the injury isn't considered severe, so Schultz should be […]

Tank Dell Has Home Run Potential As WR3/Flex In Week 2

The raw production was not quite there for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell in Week 1, but he still has potential as a home-run hitter in an exciting offense and will look to bounce back against the Chicago Bears. The second-year receiver was a bit unlucky to convert seven targets into only three catches […]

Noah Fant Upgraded To Full On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) has been upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice session. This means Fant should be ready to play after getting in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's worth noting that Fant has been dealing with this toe issue throughout the preseason. It could very well come back […]

Stefon Diggs A High-Floor WR2 In Week 2 Matchup Against The Bears

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs won't score twice in every game like he did in Week 1, but his Houston debut nonetheless had positive signs for fantasy purposes. He will look to find the end zone for a second consecutive week against the Chicago Bears. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud distributed the ball fairly evenly […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Remains Strong K1 Candidate In Week 2

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will look to build on last week's performance in Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Bears. He was highly involved and perfect in Week 1, an excellent opener for fantasy managers who drafted him to be an every-week starter. In Houston's 29-27 victory at Indianapolis, the UCLA product converted field goals […]

Texans D/ST A Playable Option Against Struggling Bears Offense

Houston Texans D/ST were a mixed bag in Week 1  but will look to improve as they head into their Week 2 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. The Texans held Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor to just 48 rushing yards and won the game 29-27. They also blocked a punt and allowed Colts quarterback […]

Davante Adams Ready For Raiders Week 2 Clash Vs. Ravens

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is healthy and will look to build on his five-catch, 59-yard performance on six targets in Week 1 for their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are a stiff test for the Raiders, but Adams is still an excellent separator with good hands and should have […]

Tyler Lockett Tagged As Limited Again

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was listed as a limited participant in yet another practice on Thursday. Lockett was also listed as limited in each of the first two practices last week before he was active in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos. In that victory, the 31-year-old was out-snapped by […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Practice On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) remained out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday.

Tee Higgins Says Injury Isn't Related To His Contract

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) told ESPN that the hamstring injury that he injured last week in practice that kept him out of the season-opening loss to the New England Patriots is completely unrelated to his contract status. Higgins hasn't practiced since getting hurt on Sept. 5. "I just don't understand why fans […]
