Quentin Johnston Continues to be a Red-Zone Threat

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston silenced his critics in Week 1 with an impressive 5-79-2 stat line on just seven targets against a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense. Johnston's 97.3% route participation and 66.7% red-zone target rate show that he is a key part of this offense. The former first-round pick is expected […]

Younghoe Koo Not a Preferred Option at Kicker in Week 2

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was 2-for-2 on extra points in Week 1 and 2-for-3 on field goals, but the one field goal he missed was a 44-yarder that could have tied the game and sent it to overtime. We'll see if that shakes his confidence after making just 73.5 percent of his field goals in 2024, […]

Colts Place Jaylon Jones on Injured Reserve

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will not be eligible to return until Week 6 at the earliest. Indianapolis will be severely shorthanded in the secondary on Sunday against the Denver Broncos with both Jones and top corner Charvarius Ward (concussion) sidelined. Xavien Howard […]

Travis Hunter a High-Upside Flex Option Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie sensation Travis Hunter had a solid Week 1, and will look to expand on it in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished his first NFL game against the Carolina Panthers with six catches on eight targets for 33 yards. It seems like head coach Liam Coen is interested in getting […]

Tre' Harris Needs More Opportunities to Make a Fantasy Impact

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris had a very quiet debut in Week 1, recording just one catch for 11 yards. The rookie barely saw the field, running only five routes and participating in just 13.5% of the offensive snaps. Harris will look to carve out a role against the Las Vegas Raiders. While […]

Keenan Allen's Reliability Makes Him a Solid Start

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen showed his excellent chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert during the team's Week 1 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran recorded seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets, proving his reliability and ability to get open against any defense. This week, Allen faces […]

Ladd McConkey is Still a Top Option Entering Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey put up solid numbers in the team's Week 1 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, catching six passes on nine targets for 74 yards. Although he didn't score a touchdown, his high target volume and 100% route participation immediately established him as a top option in a pass-heavy […]

Brian Thomas Jr. a Bounce-Back Candidate Against Bengals

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, which has a chance to be a shootout. That's fantastic news for Brian Thomas Jr. managers hoping for a much better performance out of their top draft pick. Thomas Jr. had high expectations entering the season after elite stat lines down the stretch of last […]

Najee Harris' Workload Remains Unknown for Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris saw limited action in Week 1, with just one carry and one catch, each for five yards. He was gradually brought back into the lineup after a limited offseason following a superficial eye injury in July. Harris has been practicing in full and is ready to take on […]

Nick Folk a Back-End Week 2 Option

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk is one of the riskier options this week for his home matchup with the Buffalo Bills. The 40-year-old was a perfect 2-for-2 on field goal tries last weekend - including a 51-yarder - and knocked through both of his extra-point attempts - providing decent fantasy value in the loss. […]

Austin Ekeler Suffers Torn Achilles

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler suffered a torn Achilles during Thursday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Ekeler injured his ankle on the game's final drive while stepping back awkwardly. The lead back for Washington through the first two weeks, Ekeler totaled 14 carries for 43 yards and added five receptions for 38 […]

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Volatile Low-End TE1 in Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had a nice start to the season in Week 1, drawing eight looks from quarterback Michael Penix Jr., which was second-most on the team, and he recorded seven catches for 59 yards. While it was encouraging to see the rapport with his young QB after drawing a total of 10 […]

Matt Vierling Begins Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (oblique) began a rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Toledo, per MLB.com. Vierling has been on the 10-day injured list since early August due to an oblique issue. The 28-year-old was a key piece for Detroit in 2024, but injuries have limited him to just 31 games so far in […]

Omarion Hampton Remains a High Upside RB2

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had a quiet game in the team's Week 1 win against a tough Kansas City Chiefs rush defense. The rookie finished with 48 yards on 15 carries (3.2 YPC) and added two catches for 13 yards. This week, he's facing the Las Vegas Raiders, who got out to […]

Travis Etienne Jr. an RB2 in Solid Week 2 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. and the team take on the Cincinnati Bengals, whose strength is offense and weakness is defense. That bodes well for the Jacksonville fantasy assets, especially with Etienne Jr.'s resurgent performance in Week 1 against the Panthers. The Panthers have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL […]

Matthew Stafford Could Underwhelm in Week 2

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is not a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Instead, he ranks as a low-end QB2. First of all, the Titans' passing defense showed major strides in Week 1, intercepting Bo Nix twice. This was the lone bright spot for a Tennessee team that struggled […]

Jets D/ST Gets Unfavorable Week 2 Draw

The New York Jets defense/special teams gets an unideal matchup in Week 2 when they host the visiting Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium. Expectations were high for New York's defensive unit heading into Week 1, but ex-Jet Aaron Rodgers erupted for a four-touchdown performance as the Steelers edged out a 34-32 win. Things won't be […]

Zach Charbonnet Named Team Captain For Week 2

The Seattle Seahawks have named running back Zach Charbonnet a team captain for Week 2's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year back handled 12 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Charbonnet was one of the biggest fantasy talking points from Week 1 after out-snapping […]

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 25)

It's hard to believe that we only have a little over two weeks left of the Major League Baseball regular season and the 2025 fantasy baseball season. If you're reading this article, you're either still in contention in your league(s) or simply love consuming fantasy baseball content. For those of you still chasing that money […]

Joshua Karty Not a Flashy Option Against Tennessee

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is not a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Karty has been tough to trust on a week-by-week basis in his young career, leaving fantasy managers looking elsewhere for a high-ceiling option at the kicker position. Karty only attempted two kicks -- both successful extra […]

Alejandro Kirk Getting Saturday Off

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is not in his team's starting lineup on Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles. It's a day game after a night game for Toronto, so this is likely just a day off for Kirk. The 26-year-old has been one of the better sources of batting average at the catcher position […]

Rams Defense Could Feast Against Rookie QB in Week 2

The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams is a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. We've already seen Tennessee face plenty of growing pains, as they were embarrassed on the road last week against the Denver Broncos. In that contest, the Titans achieved just seven first downs, and rookie quarterback Cameron Ward […]

Justin Herbert Ready to Ride Momentum into Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off an impressive win against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns. He also added 32 rushing yards, including a crucial run late in the fourth quarter on a 3rd and 13 to seal the game. This week, Herbert faces a […]

Eagles Shut Down Trade Talks For A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown reportedly drew interest from multiple teams this offseason, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini, but general manager Howie Roseman shut down all trade inquiries. Brown is coming off his least productive season since 2021, missing time with a hamstring injury while the Eagles leaned on a more run-heavy attack. He […]

Owen Caissie Recalled by Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have recalled outfielder Owen Caissie from Triple-A Iowa, optioning outfielder Kevin Alcantara in the corresponding move. One of the organization's top prospects, Caissie had a brief run with Chicago earlier this season and slashed .208/.240/.375 with one home run and four RBI in 25 plate appearances across 11 games. He's mashed in […]

Isaiah Davis a Distant Third in Jets' Ground Attack

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis won't be on the fantasy radar this weekend when his team takes on the visiting Buffalo Bills. As expected, Davis operated as New York's third option in their ground attack in Week 1. However, the touch split was more drastic than initially anticipated. Incumbent starter Breece Hall carried […]

Trevor Lawrence Upgraded Against Weak Bengals Defense

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be in for a shootout with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence succeeding in fantasy because of it. After a 26-10 blowout victory on the back of the defense and run game led to disappointing 10 point fantasy day, Lawrence will be looking to right the ship […]

Tyler Johnson Due for Increased Work?

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson is slated to command an elevated workload in this Sunday's home matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Johnson - like many of New York's receiving options - picked up minimal work in last weekend's loss to the Steelers. He pulled in both looks for 31 yards, but was a […]

Chris Godwin Practicing on Saturday, Unlikely to Play in Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) was back on the practice field Saturday ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Houston Texans. Godwin has been working his way back from a dislocated ankle suffered in Week 7 of last season, an injury that required multiple surgeries and delayed his return. In his absence, […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III Still a Viable PPR Option After Solid Week 1

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III garnered five targets in Week 1, turning them into three receptions for 51 yards with a long of 24 yards. That's about as good as one could hope for from the veteran receiver, and although the team gets Darnell Mooney (shoulder) back in the mix this week, Casey […]
