Dalton Kincaid The Betting Favorite To Lead Bills In Receiving In Week 1

With 241 targets vacated between the now-departed Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, tight end Dalton Kincaid takes the title of Buffalo's top receiver. When Kincaid was given the starting job midway through last season, he secured at least five receptions in every matchup from Weeks 7 through 14. He finished second on the team in […]

Ray Davis A Touchdown-Or-Bust Option In Week 1

When Josh Allen wasn't poaching touchdowns from James Cook in 2023, it was 33-year-old Latavius Murray. The veteran logged 17 carries inside the 10 and 11 inside the five-yard line. That role is now projected to be filled by rookie Ray Davis, a fourth-round pick out of Kentucky. The 24-year-old scored 14 touchdowns in his […]

James Cook Projects As A High-End RB2 Against Arizona

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is again opening the season as the lead back in Buffalo. Despite concerns over touches near the endzone, Cook should be started in all fantasy football leagues. A low touchdown total (six) was the only blemish from Cook's RB12 finish from a season ago. He totaled 1,567 yards and […]

Josh Allen Draws Great Matchup In Season Debut

There's little concern for the top quarterback in fantasy football in Week 1.

While the Cardinals' offense has improved from a year ago, the defense remains a work in progress. The roster […]

Mark Andrews Only Gets Two Targets

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews turned in a very quiet game during the 20-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. The veteran only received two targets and he caught both of them for 14 yards. The hot hand at tight end in this game went to Isaiah Likely who received 12 targets […]

Zay Flowers Gets Plenty Of Work Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers received about as many touches as expected but couldn't turn it into many fantasy points in the 20-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Flowers had a lot of manufactured touches in the form of short passes, runs, and catches behind the line of scrimmage. That turned into 10 […]

Derrick Henry Scores In Ravens Debut

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was featured quite a bit on the opening drive of his first game with his new team.

Rashee Rice Leads Chiefs In Victory

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught seven passes for 103 yards on nine targets in the 27-20 win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.

Travis Kelce With Mediocre Performance In Win

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce ended the night with three catches for 34 yards on four targets in the Chiefs 27-20 win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Kelce is a focal point of the Chiefs offense, but he was not a difference-maker in this contest. Kelce did not see a single […]

Isiah Pacheco Scores In Week 1 Win

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had 45 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the 27-20 win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.

Miles Sanders Upgrades To Full Practice

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (finger) was a full-go in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday.

Even with rookie […]

Tommy Tremble, Ian Thomas Held Out Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight ends Tommy Tremble (back, hamstring) and Ian Thomas (calf) were both held out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday.

Ricky Pearsall A Week From Starting His Rehab

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that rookie first-round wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (chest, shoulder) will take it easy for around a week to avoid working up a sweat but will begin his rehab after that.

Jauan Jennings On The Week 1 Injury Report

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) was listed on the team's first official injury report on Thursday after putting in a limited practice due to an ankle injury. In addition to an ankle injury, an oblique ailment caused Jennings to miss two of the team's preseason games in August. The fact that Jennings […]

C.J. Stroud A Steady QB1 Option In Week 1

At his ADP this season, most fantasy managers drafted Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to start him every week, and Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts should be no exception. He had six top-10 finishes and finished ninth overall among quarterbacks in 2023. The Texans have only added to the optimism surrounding Stroud's sophomore campaign […]

DJ Chark Still Not Practicing

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (hip) picked up another DNP and was unable to practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Chark still has one more day to get on the practice field, but as of right now, things aren't looking good for his chances of being active for the Week 1 […]

Volume Should Keep Joe Mixon In Fantasy Lineups Against Indy

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon has one of the most apparent fantasy situations for any running back in the NFL and should be in starting lineups as long as he's healthy. The Texans traded for the 28-year-old with the intention of making him a bell-cow back. Over the final 10 regular-season games last season, […]
