Peyton Barber Virtually Monopolizes Rushing Attack

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber led the way against the Panthers in Week 2, finishing things up with 82 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. Although Ronald Jones II, who finished with just nine yards on four attempts, was rumored to become the No. 1 option moving forward, Barber got most of […]

Jameis Winston Plays Better In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played better in Week 2 against the Panthers. After a miserable performance in Week 1 against the 49ers, the 25-year-old semi-turned things around on Thursday by compiling 208 yards and a touchdown on 16-for-25 passing. Nonetheless, Winston has still fallen below fantasy expectations even though hopes were high entering […]

Joey Slye Accurate In Loss To Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye went 4-for-4 during the Thursday night loss to the Buccaneers. The rookie was efficient, to say the least, accounting for all of the team's offensive production while also tallying his second and third 50-plus yard kicks of the season. With quarterback Cam Newton failing to find the end zone throughout […]

Curtis Samuel Has A Better Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel picked things up in Week 2 against Tampa Bay, racking up 91 yards on five receptions (13 targets). After a poor showing against the Rams on Sunday that saw the 23-year-old pull in just three receptions for 32 yards, it was a positive outing to the delight of those […]

D.J. Moore Heavily Targeted In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in nine of his 14 targets on Thursday against the Buccaneers, finishing the night with 89 yards. Moore, who has been targeted 24 times throughout the first two games of the season, continues to receive the attention of quarterback Cam Newton, with the 22-year-old leading the team in […]

Greg Olsen Leads Offense On Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) led his team offensively despite the loss to the Bucs in Week 2, finishing the night with six catches for 110 yards. After his availability was in question heading into Thursday night, the veteran was able to suit up while making the most of his time on the […]

Christian McCaffrey Cools Off Against Bucs

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey fizzled out against the Bucs on Thursday night, rushing for just 37 yards on 16 carries while catching only two balls for 16 yards. After a strong showing in Week 1 against the Rams that catapulted the 23-year-old to the top of fantasy scoring columns, it was a disappointing […]

Cam Newton Still Without A Touchdown

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton went 24-for-50, racking up 324 yards in the loss to the Bucs on Thursday night. Though the veteran wasn't able to throw for a touchdown (again), his accumulation of yards through the air was enough to satisfy the fantasy managers who kept him in their lineups despite his average showings […]

Kyle Rudolph An Unappealing TE2 in Week 2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 entering Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. Rudolph was only targeted once and didn't make the catch, though the Vikings only passed 10 times in Week 1 due to game flow. The passing attempts will increase in Week 2, but Rudolph still doesn't […]

Delanie Walker Remains A TE1 In Plus Matchup

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker can be counted on as a TE1 play in a favorable Week 2 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Walker didn't take much time to return to form after missing the entirety of the 2018 season, catching five of six targets for 55 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. […]

Dion Lewis A Sneaky Play In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis saw only six total touches compared to 20 for Derrick Henry in Week 1, but Week 2 presents a very favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Lewis will be deployed primarily as a change-of-pace and receiving back for the Titans against the Colts, who just gave up 10 receptions […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Given Permission To Seek Trade

The Miami Dolphins have given 2018 first-round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick permission to seek a trade, but they aren't actively shopping him. The Dolphins want a significant return if they are to deal him. Fitzpatrick has been unhappy with his role on defense for a while now and blames his worst game in the NFL in […]

Corey Davis Not In Play In Week 2

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 2 coming off of a game where he caught zero of three targets. Although Davis did have a tough cornerback matchup a week ago, the Titans willingness to look elsewhere in the passing game does not bode well for the young […]

Derrick Henry A High-End RB2 In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is once again a solid RB2 option heading into the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Coming off of a game where he totaled 159 yards and two touchdowns, Henry gets a Colts Defense that just allowed the second most fantasy points to running backs in Week 1. […]

Marcus Mariota Gets Favorable Week 2 Matchup

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has a solid opportunity to build upon his impressive Week 1 performance with a favorable home matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota, who threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns a week ago, now faces the Colts Defense who gave up 333 yards passing against the Los Angeles Chargers in […]

Redskins Defense Ready To Get Bulldozed By Cowboys

The Washington Redskins Defense will have home-field advantage on Sunday, but that is where this unit's leg up on the Cowboys begins and ends. Washington's front seven are staring down one of the better offensive lines in football, and Dallas has an abundance of weapons to turn to. Dak Prescott was one of the more […]

Trey Quinn Not Ready For Fantasy Consideration

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn could theoretically be in line for some lucrative PPR work on Sunday against the Cowboys. If the Dallas pass rush is able to wreak havoc in the pocket against a questionable Redskins offensive line, Case Keenum might be forced to look for Quinn in the intermediate passing game often. […]

Terry McLaurin Not Yet A Fantasy Starter

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to repeat an impressive Week 1 performance in which he racked up 125 yards and a touchdown on five receptions. While McLaurin is the most exciting wideout in Washington at the moment, this pass offense is still collectively an unknown quantity. The Redskins aired it out considerably […]

Paul Richardson Not On Fantasy Radar For Week 2

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson returned minimal fantasy value in Week 1 despite being targeted seven times. We're going to have to learn as we go with the Redskins passing offense in terms of who Case Keenum looks to the most often, and part of that learning process includes not trusting anyone until there […]

Vernon Davis With Favorable Matchup In Week 2

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will be in line for the bulk of the tight end work on Sunday if Jordan Reed isn't able to play. If such is the case, Davis has the chance to pick up where Evan Engram left off in Week 1, when the latter torched the Cowboys Defense for […]

Chris Thompson A Flex Consideration For Week 2

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson figures to see a lot of action in his Week 2 matchup with the Cowboys. Washington is a home underdog in a divisional matchup, which tells us a lot about how the Redskins are viewed even after almost stealing one from the Eagles to start the season. If the […]

Case Keenum An Unsafe Bet For Week 2

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is coming off an impressive Week 1 outing, but a repeat against the Cowboys would be surprising. For starters, there is the obvious disadvantage of playing behind an offensive line that will be hard-pressed to stop Demarcus Lawrence on the pass rush. His receivers are also going to have to […]

Adam Thielen A Top-End WR2 Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen had an efficient game in Week 1, catching three of three targets for 43 yards and a receiving touchdown. Thielen had a productive fantasy day despite Kirk Cousins throwing just 10 times, a number that will surely rise against the Packers in Week 2. The Packers Defense looked great […]

Julie'n Davenport Could Go On IR

The Miami Dolphins are considering placing offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee) on the Injured Reserve. However, there's still a chance that Davenport could come back this year if he goes on IR. It would just be more bad news for an offensive line that already traded their best talent, Laremy Tunsil, to the Texans. Miami's […]

Buccaneers Defense Loses Devin White Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (knee) injured his right knee Thursday night against the Panthers and was ruled out in the first quarter. The impressive first-round pick played all of Week 1 while dealing with tonsilitis. Inside linebacker Kevin Minter replaced White. Losing White for any stretch of time would be bad news […]

Ted Ginn Gets In Full Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Ginn had a big game in last Monday's shootout win over the Texans, hauling in all seven of his targets for 101 yards. In a tough road matchup with the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, […]

Tyler Lockett Back At Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (back) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lockett looks on track to play in Week 2 on the road against the Steelers. The team's No. 1 receiver played 91 percent of the snaps but was targeted just two times in the passing game. Luckily […]

Dalvin Cook An RB1 Play In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook looked great in Week 1, rushing 21 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in a dominant 28-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He added two receptions for nine yards. Cook finished RB5 in half-PPR leagues, showing off elite explosiveness and vision in the Vikings new zone-blocking scheme. He's […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Practice In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and running back James Conner (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Both players should be all systems go for Week 2 against the Seahawks at home. The Steelers will be looking to put the bad taste of the blowout Week 1 […]

Kirk Cousins A Low-End QB2 Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was a fantasy disappointment in Week 1, passing for just 98 yards on a career-low 10 attempts against the Falcons. His low-usage was due to the Vikes being up early, and it's far more likely that Cousins will need to throw more against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. […]
