Dallas Goedert Only an Option in Deep Leagues for Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is only a middling starting option in two-tight end leagues for Week 2. The Atlanta Falcons Defense does few things well, but one of those things is defending opposing tight ends. Mix that with the fact that Goedert was only targeted three times in Week 1 and you have […]

Zach Ertz a Strong Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a top-three option again in Week 2. Despite taking on an Atlanta Falcons Defense that actually limits opposing tight ends fairly well, Ertz is matchup-proof and should easily put up TE1 numbers. In an ascendant offense that finally has a deep threat to spread out the defense in […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Fantasy Option Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside showed in Week 1 that he's not quite a fantasy option yet this season. The rookie played just five offensive snaps in Week 1 and didn't draw a target. Based on preseason comments from head coach Doug Pederson, Arcega-Whiteside was expected to have a bit more of a […]

Nelson Agholor Not a Fantasy Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a fantasy option for Week 2. Despite a matchup that should result in plenty of points for the Eagles, Agholor is unlikely to play a large role. With the Eagles showing a strong preference for two-tight end sets with both Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert on the […]

Antonio Brown To Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will practice on Wednesday. However, it's up in the air if Brown will make his debut with the team in Week 2 against the Dolphins, and Belichick said they're taking it "one day at a time." Brown's ex-trainer is filing a lawsuit […]

Quarterback Start/Sit Advice - Week 2

They decide who to start or sit in order to give you the best advantage to win your weekly matchup. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube […]

Albert Wilson Not Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday after aggravating his calf injury in Week 1 while playing just six snaps. It doesn't sound promising for his availability in Week 2 against the Patriots, but we'll have to wait and see. If Wilson misses this weekend, Devante Parker, Jakeem Grant, […]

DeSean Jackson Could Have Another Strong Outing in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson had an excellent Week 1 and could have another solid game in Week 2. Jackson matches up well with the Atlanta Falcons pass defense and showed in Week 1 that he still definitely has "it". With Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz commanding attention in the short and middle depths […]

Sean McDermott Says Frank Gore Is The Starter

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Frank Gore is the starter in front of rookie Devin Singletary and T.J. Yeldon. Gore did lead the backfield in Week 1 with 11 carries to Singletary's four, but the elder statesman had just 20 yards (1.8 yards per carry), while Singletary was much more […]

Alshon Jeffery a Solid Choice Again in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a solid fantasy wide receiver option again for Week 2. Facing off against a less-than-stellar Atlanta Falcons passing defense, Jeffery should make some noise again as he did in Week 1. Jeffery scored two touchdowns against Washington, hauling down a touchdown pass and recording a rushing touchdown on […]

Corey Clement Not a Fantasy Option for Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a startable fantasy player in Week 2. Even though the Eagles aren't expected to have any trouble on offense against the Atlanta Falcons, Clement is very unlikely to make a significant impact. Clement did not record an offensive statistic in Week 1 and was only on the […]

Ja'Wuan James To Miss Several Weeks

Denver Broncos right tackle Ja'Wuan James (knee) will miss several weeks with a significant knee sprain, according to a league source. The Broncos are happy with the way that Elijah Wilkinson filled in on Monday night against the Raiders, but it's a notable loss for the Broncos offensive line. With an elite defense in the […]

Sam Darnold Misses Practice With Strep Throat

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) was sent home from practice on Wednesday with strep throat, according to head coach Adam Gase. Gase thinks that Darnold will be fine for Monday night against the Browns. While Darnold should perform better than he did in Week 1 against a tough Bills Defense, he's still more […]

Darren Sproles Is a Risky Week 2 Fantasy Running Back

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles, currently leading the team in rushing, is a risky starter in Week 2 lineups. Despite a good matchup against a weak Atlanta Falcons Defense and a solid performance in Week 1, Sproles is not expected to usually play quite as big a role as he did in the win […]

Stephen Vogt Plates Four Tuesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Stephen Vogt had a big day at the plate in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Pirates. Vogt went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, four RBI, and two strikeouts. The veteran took Mitch Keller deep in the fifth inning for his ninth HR of the season. Vogt has been […]

Jordan Howard Not a Safe Option in Week 2 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a low-floor option for Week 2. Howard saw the fewest touches in the Eagles backfield in Week 1, and wasn't consistently used for short yardage work either. Still, he did look decent and perhaps earned a few more touches going forward. Looking like a touchdown-dependent option, Howard won't […]

Miles Sanders Is An Unexciting Week 2 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an OK but mostly unexciting option for Week 2. Shaping up to be somewhere on the RB2/3 border, Sanders had plenty of chances in Week 1 but didn't do much with them. He was thoroughly outplayed by veteran Darren Sproles, and even Jordan Howard showed a bit […]

Carson Wentz a Top-Five Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a top-five quarterback option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons Defense poses no threat to Wentz, who made use of his new receiving weapon, DeSean Jackson, in Week 1. Wentz and Jackson connected for two long touchdowns and the duo are a threat to do that […]

Marcus Semien Grabs Three RBI During Rout Of Astros

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien was 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored during Tuesday's 21-7 win over the Houston Astros. The 28-year-old is batting .328 with 18 RBI over his past 15 games. Semien is having a marvelous season for the Athletics, setting career highs in most offensive categories. He […]

Walker Buehler Tosses Gem On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Walker Buehler allowed four hits across seven scoreless innings during Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He struck out 11 batters without issuing a walk. The 25-year-old now owns a 13-3 record to go along with a 3.14 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 201/28 K/BB rate. He is one of the […]

Jonathan Abram's Pending Surgery Downgrades Raiders Defense

The Oakland Raiders Defense will take a significant blow when rookie safety Jonathan Abram goes under the knife to repair his shoulder. The first-round pick out of Mississippi State tore his rotator cuff and labrum in the first quarter versus the Broncos Monday night, but managed to play through the game. Surgery will knock Abrams […]

Ronald Jones II Praised By Bruce Arians

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II, who had just 13 yards on five attempts in nine games in a dreadful rookie season, looked good in Week 1 with 13 carries for 75 yards (5.77 yards per carry). Jones shined in the preseason while looking faster, more athletic and more fluid with his hands. […]

Antonio Brown Could Be Put On Exempt List

The NFL will explore the sexual-assault lawsuit against New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown, and the plaintiff in the lawsuit, Britney Taylor, has expressed a willingness to cooperate with the league. Depending on the information they find, the NFL could place Brown on the Commissioner-Exempt list while the investigation takes place. He could also […]

Giants Defense Gets Good Matchup In Week 2

The New York Giants Defense will be in a good matchup on Sunday against the Bills, who committed four turnovers last week against the New York Jets. The Giants weren’t able to get any pressure on Dak Prescott, so their sack totals might be low against an elusive Josh Allen. However, Allen is prone to […]

Bennie Fowler Could Feature In Good Matchup

New York Giants slot receiver Bennie Fowler could have sneaky value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Bills nickel cornerback Taron Johnson hurt his hamstring during last week’s game, and Jamison Crowder went wild, catching 17 passes in the slot -- 10 of them after Johnson exited the game. If Johnson isn’t able to go […]

Rookie Receiver Breakouts from Week 1: Trust or Bust?

Rookie wide receivers are generally hard to trust in fantasy football. Last year’s class, for example, did not produce any regular fantasy starters, although players such as Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk and Michael Gallup all showed some promise. Ridley was the best of the bunch with 64 catches for 821 yards […]

Cody Latimer Likely To Start on Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer may be elevated to the team’s top receiver on Sunday if Sterling Shepard is unable to recover from his concussion in time. However, that may not be great news, as the Buffalo Bills would likely cover him with top cornerback Tre'Davious White, who held Robby Anderson to three […]
