Deebo Samuel Enters Season As Solid WR2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is a quality play for fantasy managers in Week 1 at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Samuel, who had a frustrating year in 2022 due to injury, nevertheless retains the upside of his excellent 2021 season. The Steelers should have an improved and healthier defense than they did in 2022, […]

Arizona Kicker Matt Prater Not Worth A Start In Week 1

Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater this season. Prater, known for his booming leg and clutch kicks, has consistently been a reliable source of fantasy points over the years. His powerful kicks could make him a solid fantasy option this season. In Week 1, however, Prater faces off against the […]

Cardinals Defense Too Risky For Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals enter their Week 1 clash against the Washington Commanders wanting to get to the quarterback. In their first two preseason games, the Cardinal's defense registered 14 quarterback pressures and two sacks.

Keaontay Ingram Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 1

Is Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram a possible fantasy option in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders? Ingram currently projects to be the backup to starter James Conner throughout the season.

Trey McBride Not Worth A Week 1 Start

As one of the top tight ends taken in the 2022 draft by the Arizona Cardinals, Trey McBride's rookie season could've been better.

Rookie Michael Wilson Best Left On The Bench In Week 1

Rondale Moore Looking For More Targets In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore will look to start his season off strong in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders.

Christian McCaffrey Among The Best Options In Season Opener

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will look to begin justifying his top 3 ADP in fantasy drafts this fall in Week 1 at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
