Joshua Palmer Added To Injury Report But Practices In Full

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) was added to the team's Week 1 injury report on Thursday with a knee injury but was able to practice in full. Palmer was not listed at all on the first injury report of the year on Wednesday. It's something worth watching, but Palmer's status shouldn't be […]

Stefon Diggs A High-Floor WR2 Option In Texans Debut

A longtime fantasy staple, Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs isn't a clear first option anymore, but he still has WR2 or flex value in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. There is a lot to like about an exciting Texans offense that led the NFL in completed air yards per completion a season ago […]

Solid WR1 Potential For Nico Collins Against The Colts

One of 2023's breakout players, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins, should be in all fantasy lineups when the Houston Texans begin their season against the Indianapolis Colts. The Texans' potent offense added running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason, leaving fantasy managers wondering who will get the ball and how […]

Tank Dell Is A High-Risk, High-Reward WR2 In Week 1

Electric as a rookie last season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell and his new role on the team will be one of fantasy football's big questions heading into Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. He compiled 709 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in just 11 games last season, drew an 18.4% target share, and […]

Dalton Schultz A Solid Streaming Option Against Indy In Week 1

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz finished as TE10 last season, but his status has dropped to the TE2 range against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. He drew a solid 16% of targets last season, but he now plays alongside one of the deepest receiving corps in football, as Houston added Stefon Diggs to […]

Seahawks D/ST A Top-Five Option In Week 1

The Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams will get a rookie quarterback in Bo Nix when the Denver Broncos visit Seattle in Week 1. The Seahawks' defense should be improved in 2024, especially with head coach Mike Macdonald coming over from the Baltimore Ravens. Rookie quarterbacks tend to struggle in the NFL. Nix has more college experience […]

Cade Otton Has TE2 Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton looks to take a step forward after back-to-back lackluster seasons to begin his career. The 25-year-old finished with 47 receptions for 455 yards with four touchdowns in 17 games with the Bucs last season. The talent is there, but Otton is too far back on the pecking order […]

Noah Fant Not A Starting Tight End In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) should not be on fantasy radars in Week 1. The Seahawks will host the Denver Broncos and project to have a solid day on offense. However, Fant has not been much of a fantasy contributor during his three-year tenure as a Seahawk. There is always the chance that […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Strong Candidate To Finish As Week 1's Top Scoring Kicker

As the kicker on one of the NFL's better offenses, Houston's Ka'imi Fairbairn is a low-end K1 in Week 1 for the Texans' matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Fairbairn missed five games last season due to a quad injury but was excellent when he played. Fairbairn logged five top-five finishes in 12 games, including K1 […]

Zach Charbonnet Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is better left on your bench in Week 1 when the Seahawks host the Denver Broncos. The Broncos had one of the league's worst rushing defenses in 2023. However, Charbonnet is unlikely to see a large enough rushing share to be effective for fantasy. If history is any indication, […]

Jalen McMillan Has Risky Streaming Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan has worked his way up the depth chart quickly in camp. The third-round pick is slated to start alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin during the Week 1 season opener against the Washington Commanders. There is a ton of potential here as McMillan should be stashed in all […]

Jason Myers A Solid Option In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is a solid option in fantasy in Week 1. The Seahawks offense should have plenty of chances to score on Sunday against a middle-of-the-road Broncos defense. Myers was the K6 in 2023 and should be able to pick up where he left off. He is an incredibly accurate kicker and […]

Turnover Potential For Texans D/ST Against Colts

Opposing a young quarterback who brings the possibility of sacks and turnovers is always a bonus for fantasy defenses, and the Houston Texans will start their season by facing one. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson played only four games last year, so the sample size is small, but his lousy throw rate was high at […]

Geno Smith Outside Of The QB1 Options In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith finds himself outside of the starting options at the position in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. This is nothing against Smith who should actually have a bounce-back season with new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. The matchup is also relatively neutral as the Denver Broncos were middle of the pack […]

Chris Godwin On WR2 Radar

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has quietly become one of the more reliable wideouts over the last few years. The 28-year-old has finished with 1,000 receiving yards or more in four of the last five seasons. He doesn't normally get as much glory with fellow wideout Mike Evans being the primary deep threat […]

Kenneth Walker III A Fringe RB1 In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III draws an excellent matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. The Broncos boasted the third-worst rushing defense in the NFL in 2023. The defense improved as the season progressed, but there is no reason to believe they will be able to hold Walker in check in Week […]

Week 1 Will Be A Proving Ground For Tyler Lockett In Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) enters Week 1 after being limited in practice for much of training camp. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerging this preseason, the Seahawks have three excellent options at wide receiver. Lockett slowed down in 2023. After four straight 1,000-yard seasons, Lockett only recorded 894 yards and five touchdowns in 2023. […]

Mike Evans Carries WR1 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been one of the most consistent wideouts over the last decade. The veteran wideout has finished with at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of the last 10 seasons. He has shown no signs of slowing down and is the clear No. 1 target on this offense. […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Is A Flex Play With Upside In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has an excellent opportunity to make a statement in Week 1. With DK Metcalf drawing the attention of cornerback Patrick Surtain II and Tyler Lockett (thigh) coming off a training camp injury, Smith-Njigba could find himself on the field and open often. All reports suggest that Smith-Njigba has had […]

DK Metcalf Likely To Draw Patrick Surtain Shadow In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has a tall task ahead of him against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. The Broncos have one of the NFL's best young cornerbacks, Patrick Surtain II. Metcalf will probably draw a shadow from Surtain who shadowed on 48.5% of his coverages in 2023. As such, Surtain may curb […]

Antonio Gibson Added To Week 1 Injury Report

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (hip) was added to the team's injury report on Thursday after putting in a limited practice session. Mid-week downgrades in status are usually never good, but the Patriots could also be practicing caution with one of their top running backs just before the start of the regular season […]

Marquise Brown Expected To Return To Practice Next Week; Could Play In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder), who will not play in Thursday night's season opener versus the Baltimore Ravens due to a sternoclavicular joint sprain suffered in the preseason opener, is expected to return to practice next week and could be in play to make his Chiefs debut in a Week 2 showdown […]

Romeo Doubs Good To Go For Friday Night In Brazil

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hand), who was limited in the team's first two practices of the week on Tuesday and Wednesday, returned to a full practice on Thursday and was removed from the final Week 1 injury report. Doubs will be active for Friday night's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in […]

Mike Williams In The Clear For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) was listed as a full participant in the team's first official practice of the regular season on Thursday. It means that despite tearing his ACL early in the 2023 season while with the Los Angeles Chargers, he'll be active for his Jets debut in Week 1 on […]

Bucky Irving A Shaky Week 1 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving looks to be set as the primary backup option to Rachaad White in the backfield. He won the competition against Sean Tucker in camp for the No. 2 role in this offense. Sadly for Irving, that No. 2 role probably isn't going to be too significant. The Bucs […]

Rachaad White A Viable RB2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is coming off a breakout campaign with the organization in 2023. He racked up 1,539 scrimmage yards as White has proven himself to be a reliable option in both the running and receiving game. The Bucs added Bucky Irving in the fourth-round of this year's draft. However, there's […]

Baker Mayfield Has High-End QB2 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off an excellent 2023 campaign and looks to build on it during his second year with the team. Last season, Mayfield threw for a career-high 4,044 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 17 games. The Bucs haven't lost any significant weapons over the offseason. […]

Brock Bowers Stays Limited On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders rookie first-round tight end Brock Bowers (foot) was once again limited in practice on Thursday leading up to the Week 1 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers at Sofi Stadium. The Raiders are just being cautious with their young tight end, as head coach Antonio Pierce has said that […]

DeAndre Hopkins Limited Again On Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday to kick off preparations for the Week 1 regular-season opener in Chicago this Sunday against the Bears. Hopkins practiced with a sleeve on his left leg on Thursday and could be questionable to play this weekend. However, […]

Washington Defense Eyeing Turnaround In Dan Quinn's Debut

The Washington Commanders defense is looking to kickstart a massive turnaround with newly hired head coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. Last season, the Commanders' defense allowed 388.9 yards per game, which was the highest mark in the league. In addition, they surrendered the most passing yards per game at a 262.2 […]
