Josh Downs a Low-End Option in Tough Week 2 Matchup vs. Broncos

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs will take on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 2. Downs turned in a disappointing Week 1 performance in a win over the Miami Dolphins despite the Colts scoring 33 points, catching just two of three targets for 12 yards. The veteran slot receiver will look to bounce […]

Michael Pittman Jr. a Flex Option in Tough Week 2 Matchup

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Pittman was listed on the injury report with a glute issue after Week 1, but he practiced fully all week and has no injury status heading into Sunday. The veteran wideout turned in a solid game in a Week […]

Ravens D/ST Looking to Bounce Back Against Browns

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams had a rough go of things against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Throughout three quarters, they looked okay, but then a nightmare of a fourth quarter saw them giving up 22 points and eventually the game. In standard scoring, they came away with negative points in […]

DeAndre Hopkins a Touchdown-or-Bust Option in Week 2

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins proved why he's a three-time All-Pro with an amazing one-handed grab against the Buffalo Bills for a touchdown. While his days of 100+ targets per season are in the rearview mirror, he can still play that outlet role whenever called upon. The biggest issue for fantasy managers is that […]

Jonathan Taylor a Low-End RB1 in Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Taylor turned in a solid, if unspectacular, Week 1 performance in a win over the Miami Dolphins, rushing for 71 yards and catching three passes for 27 yards. He will look to find the end zone against a talented Denver defense […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Upside RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: With rookie Quinshon Judkins unable to play in their season opener, fellow rookie Dylan Sampson and veteran Jerome Ford shared the backfield in their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Sampson emerged as the leader as he took 12 carries for 29 […]

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Dealing With a "Tweak"

The Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) is battling an injury ahead of training camp. Per Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic, Luukkonen is bothered by a "tweak." The injury seems minor, but the team is not taking any chances and signed Alexandar Georgiev for extra depth in goal. It was announced that Luukkonen's return timetable […]

Alexandar Georgiev Joins Sabres on One-Year Deal

The Buffalo Sabres have signed goaltender Alexandar Georgiev to a one-year, $825,000 contract. The 29-year-old Russian gets another chance in the NHL despite having a nightmare in 2024-25. Georgiev posted a 15-26-4 record across 47 starts with the Colorado Avalanche and San Jose Sharks, allowing nearly four goals (3.71) and producing a career-worst .875 save […]

Tetairoa McMillan to Build on Week 1 Success in Week 2

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the Panthers with 68 receiving yards and five receptions on nine targets in their Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Considering the poor play of quarterback Bryce Young and the Panthers' offense as a whole, McMillan's fantasy output in PPR leagues wasn't terrible (11.8 PPR points). […]

Chiefs Defense Could Have Their Hands Full in Super Bowl Rematch

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will have all they can handle facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. The Chiefs defensive unit just allowed 27 points to the Los Angeles Chargers in their Week 1 loss. Despite giving up nearly 30 points to a division rival, the Chiefs defense came away with three sacks in […]

Harrison Butker Could Be Busy In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Week 2. This Super Bowl rematch could prove beneficial for Butker's fantasy relevance because of the strong Eagles defense. If the Kansas City offense is unable to complete drives, Butker could be asked to pick up the points with his leg. […]

Travis Kelce With Concerning Usage Heading Into Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch this Sunday. The 35-year-old reeled in just two passes for 47 yards and a touchdown in their Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. 37 of Kelce's 47 yards came on his long touchdown catch and run […]

49ers D/ST a Favorite Against the Saints

The San Francisco 49ers defense/special teams has a juicy Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Exploiting second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler's inexperience will be key to San Francisco's success. Rattler has averaged 33.2 pass attempts per game but has a 57.3% completion rate in his young career. In Week 1, he let it rip […]

Kareem Hunt Bidding For Larger Workload In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home this Sunday. Hunt received an identical workload to Isiah Pacheco and produced similar results. The veteran back was less efficient with his carries but picked up more receiving yards in his three opportunities. It is also important to note that […]

Isiah Pacheco Hoping To Take RB1 Job In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. The defending Super Bowl champions defeated the Chiefs in their last matchup, and Pacheco only had seven rushing yards on three carries. The 26-year-old will have the chance to exact some revenge, but he must first overcome the timeshare he's […]

Patrick Mahomes Primed For Super Bowl Rematch

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 for a Super Bowl rematch. The last time these two teams matched up, the Eagles ended up taking home the Lombardi trophy. Jalen Hurts and the gang are coming off a Thursday night win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week […]

Eddy Pineiro Ready For First Game With 49ers

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro signed with the team on September 10, in the wake of the release of Jake Moody. Pineiro does not have Moody's leg strength, but he is certainly more accurate. Despite attempting twice as many field goals as Moody in his career (126 to 62), Pineiro has one fewer miss […]

Jake Tonges Not Worth Streaming In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges was the hero of the team's Week 1 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Tonges stepped in for an injured George Kittle (hamstring) and caught the go-ahead touchdown with just over a minute and a half left in the game. With Kittle now on injured reserve, Tonges is now […]

Kendrick Bourne Reuniting With Mac Jones In Week 2

Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on September 9, returning to the team that gave him his start in the NFL in 2017. The signing was in light of injuries sustained in Week 1 by key pass catchers George Kittle (hamstring), who is now on injured reserve, and […]

Skyy Moore Buried On Depth Chart Despite 49ers Injuries

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Skyy Moore stands little chance of making an impact in Week 2, despite the injury bug biting key players on offense. Even though tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is on injured reserve and wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, veterans Marquez Valdes-Scantling and […]

NASCAR DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Lineups for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race (2025)

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has Limited Upside In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling saw zero targets on 15 routes run in Week 1. With George Kittle (hamstring) now on injured reserve and Jauan Jennings (shoulder) tagged as questionable for San Francisco's Week 2 matchup against the Saints, it is possible that Valdes-Scantling plays a bigger role on Sunday. Unfortunately, Brock Purdy […]

Giants Defense Facing a Solid Passing Attack

The New York Giants defense is a risky fantasy start for Week 2 against a potent Dallas Cowboys offense, despite a solid sack total in Week 1. While the Giants' defense recorded three sacks against Washington, including two by Brian Burns, they also allowed three touchdowns and were on the field for an extended period. […]

Graham Gano Could Continue Success In Week 2

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a possible fantasy option for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, depending on your league. Gano was responsible for all six of the Giants' points in Week 1, making both of his field goal attempts, including a long of 52 yards, for 8 fantasy points. This puts him […]

Seahawks D/ST a Back-End Starting Option in Week 2

The Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams performed at a high level in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. They draw the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, who just hung 34 points on the New York Jets. The Steelers are riding high on that victory, but Week 2 should be a lower-scoring affair. The Seahawks' defensive […]
