Bijan Robinson a High-Floor RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran into a wall in Week 1 versus the Buccaneers, gaining just 24 yards on 12 attempts. However, he salvaged his day in the passing game, garnering seven targets and catching six of them for 100 yards receiving, which included a 50-yard touchdown scamper. The 23-year-old could have a […]

Colston Loveland A Must-Sit Against Lions

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland made his NFL debut in Week 1 but had a quiet outing, catching both of his targets for just 12 yards in the 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As expected, Loveland operated behind starter Cole Kmet, playing 57% of the snaps compared to Kmet's 90%. In one-tight […]

Roman Wilson Not on Fantasy Radar Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson did not see the field much in the season opener and will hope for more involvement in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson logged just 10 of a possible 56 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind starting wideouts DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. With Wilson competing […]

Luther Burden III Off Fantasy Radar in Week 2

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III opened his NFL career quietly, finishing with one catch for -3 yards in the Bears' 27-24 loss to the Vikings. As expected, Burden wasn't a starter in Week 1 under head coach Ben Johnson, instead rotating in behind Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus. He logged […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Expected to Contribute Again In Week 2

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus made an immediate impact in his debut under head coach Ben Johnson. He caught four of seven targets for 42 yards in the Week 1 loss to Minnesota, operating as Chicago's clear WR3. Zaccheaus played 44% of the snaps and ran a route on 59% of dropbacks, both behind […]

D.J. Moore Has Upside Against Lions Secondary

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore had an up-and-down season opener against the Minnesota Vikings, catching three of five targets for 68 yards while adding three carries for eight yards on the ground. Moore had chances for a bigger day, including a potential touchdown that Caleb Williams overthrew and a missed fourth-down conversion where Moore […]

Javier Baez Day-to-Day After Early Exit on Friday

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Javier Baez (head) left an 8-2 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday after fouling a ball off his forehead. Baez is not in concussion protocol, though, and is considered day-to-day, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports. The 32-year-old started at shortstop, but the Tigers had to replace him with Trey […]

Another Strong Showing on the Horizon for Trey Benson in Week 2?

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson had eight carries for 69 yards in the Week 1 win over the Saints. He added one catch for six yards. While the 23-year-old didn't find the end zone, he still played well, averaging 8.6 yards per carry. Of course, James Conner was involved, logging 43 snaps, 21 more […]

Rashod Bateman a Risky Flex Play Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman didn't join in on the scoring in Week 1 despite the team hanging 40 points against the Buffalo Bills. Despite seeing a new career high almost across the board last season, Bateman is the definition of boom-or-bust when it comes to fantasy purposes. That's personified in the two matchups […]

Rome Odunze Set For Big Game Against Lions

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze looks to rebound after an inefficient Week 1 performance. The second-year wideout caught six of nine targets for just 37 yards, though he salvaged his fantasy day with a late touchdown in Chicago's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While the box score wasn't impressive, Odunze's usage was extremely […]

Roschon Johnson Back In Action In Week 2

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has been removed from the injury report and is set to make his 2025 debut in Week 2. Johnson returned to practice late last week after being sidelined with a foot injury since early August. The Bears struggled to establish the run in Week 1, with rookie quarterback Caleb […]

Kyle Monangai Unlikely to Be Fantasy Relevant in Week 2

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai will look to carve out a role in Week 2 after head coach Ben Johnson voiced confidence in him. Monangai saw minimal involvement in the Week 1 loss to Minnesota, catching one pass for 11 yards while logging just 14% of the snaps. Starting running back D'Andre Swift […]

D'Andre Swift Touchdown-Dependent Against Lions

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to bounce back after an inefficient outing to start the season. Swift was the workhorse in Week 1, totaling 20 attempts for 65 yards against the difficult Minnesota Vikings run defense. Head coach Ben Johnson stated, "He needs to call more run plays." The matchup is just […]

Tarik Skubal to Undergo Imaging on Saturday

After leaving his start early on Friday with side discomfort, Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (side) will undergo imaging on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. Skubal, who's dealing with pain near his left rib cage, could only manage 3 1/3 innings of four-run ball in an 8-2 loss to the Miami Marlins before the […]

"Dual Threat" Caleb Williams Has Fantasy Appeal Against Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is coming off a strong fantasy performance, completing 21 of 35 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown while adding six carries for 58 yards and another score on the ground. Despite Chicago's tough loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Williams showcased his dual-threat ability and the kind of upside that […]

Drake London Practices in Full, Projects as Low-End WR1 With Upside

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (shoulder) was a full participant at practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. The 24-year-old suffered a shoulder sprain in Week 1 but appears to be on track to play in Sunday night's matchup against Minnesota. The former first-round draft pick was heavily involved last week, drawing 15 […]

DK Metcalf A Borderline Must-Start Against Former Team

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf performed well in his first game in the black and gold and now gets a chance at revenge against the team that traded him earlier this year, the Seattle Seahawks. Metcalf told reporters that Sunday's contest is "just another football game", but the 27-year-old will surely be targeted early […]

Zay Flowers Looks to Build on Great Opening Performance

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers put up the second-highest fantasy points of his career in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In half-PPR formats, that rates second to only his game against the Denver Broncos in Week 9 last season. Now, he'll try to carry that momentum into the first divisional matchup […]

Justice Hill Doesn't Carry Much Value in Week 2

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill received two carries and two targets out of the backfield in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. Combined, he totaled -11 yards despite seeing a 45% snap share next to Derrick Henry. While he likely won't be in the negatives again, the Cleveland Browns defense is a bit tougher, […]

Malik Washington Remains the Dolphins' Third Receiver

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington flashed some intriguing upside throughout training camp and the preseason, but he and the rest of the team's offense stumbled in Indianapolis in Week 1 and will need to rebound in Week 2 against New England. Washington played 58% of the team's offensive snaps, behind only Tyreek Hill and […]

Tyreek Hill Looks to Get on Track vs. the Patriots in Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and the whole team's offense will try to erase an ugly Week 1 defeat in Indianapolis in Week 2 when they host the Patriots. Hill led the team in targets and receiving yards while tying with Jaylen Waddle for the team lead in receptions. He finished with four catches […]

Kaleb Johnson Will Hope For More Opportunities Against Seattle

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was hardly involved in his regular-season debut and will likely operate as the team's RB3 again this week against the Seattle Seahawks. Fantasy managers who drafted Johnson with high expectations must exercise patience with the rookie if they plan to keep him rostered. Johnson played just two offensive snaps […]

Jaylen Warren Has RB2 Upside In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren found the end zone in the season opener and will look to build on that success in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle's run defense was middle-of-the-pack in 2024 and surrendered a big fantasy performance to Christian McCaffrey in Week 1. Warren may not be the offensive threat […]

Derrick Henry has Plenty of Bulletin-Board Material vs. Browns

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry doesn't have anything to prove when it comes to his overall career. After last week, however, he'll look to bounce back after fumbling during a key moment in the fourth quarter, which eventually led to a loss. Then, while talking to the media, Grant Delpit from the Browns responded […]

Riley Patterson Likely to be Elevated Again in Week 2

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson reverted to the practice squad after his Week 1 promotion, but he's expected to kick for the team again in Week 2 since Jason Sanders (hip) is still sidelined and on IR.

Dolphins D/ST a Tough Play vs. the Patriots

The Miami Dolphins defense was torn up by quarterback Daniel Jones in Week 1, allowing 33 points to the Colts on the road. They'll come home in Week 2 to take on the Patriots and Drake Maye in a divisional matchup. In Week 1, the Patriots only managed 13 points against the Raiders, but Maye […]

Jonnu Smith Leads NFL in Designed Targets in Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith led the team in designed targets in Week 1, per Fantasy Points Data. Despite an inefficient outing, he salvaged his day by scoring on an end-around from inside the five-yard line.
