Brooks Raley Reinstated From Restricted List Friday

The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated left-handed reliever Brooks Raley from the restricted list on Friday and optioned right-hander Kevin Herget to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Raley was unable to pitch this week in Toronto against the Blue Jays because of his vaccination status, but he'll be back in the Rays' bullpen this weekend […]

Shaquille Leonard, Alec Pierce Ruled Out For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) and wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) have both been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although Leonard practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday, it appears he'll still miss his second consecutive game. Meanwhile, Pierce made real progress but was unable to clear the concussion […]

Justin Herbert's Rib X-Rays Were Negative

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) avoided any broken bones following Thursday night's game. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Herbert's X-rays came back negative. As a result, the third-string quarterback will undergo further testing. The injury clearly bothered Herbert in Week 2, but he only missed one offensive snap. Los Angeles doesn't […]

Seiya Suzuki Out Of The Starting Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (hand, wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. However, the good news is that his X-rays came back negative for structural damage after he was hit by a pitch on his left hand/wrist in Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Fantasy managers should […]

Rondale Moore, Andy Isabella Ruled Out For Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Andy Isabella (back) have both been ruled out ahead of Week 2. With these wideouts sidelined and DeAndre Hopkins suspended, Arizona will proceed with Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Greg Dortch, and Zach Ertz headlining the passing game. Brown and Ertz are both worth starting against a suspect […]

Willson Contreras Doing Light Agility Work

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) has progressed to light agility work in a running progression. Contreras sprained his left ankle recently and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sept. 6. The Cubs have no reason to rush the 30-year-old All-Star back in a lost season, but it's good news that he's moving […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Questionable For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2, head coach Frank Reich announced. Pittman aggravated the injury on Wednesday and was limited in practice. Then, he was a non-participant on Thursday. It is unclear if he practiced in any capacity on Friday, but the good news is that […]

Mason Crosby - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the Chicago Bears in the team's home opener Sunday night. The 38-year-old made his lone extra-point attempt last week, recording no field goal tries in the Packers' blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Green Bay's offense should fair better this week against Chicago, but Crosby's fantasy scoring […]

Nico Hoerner Goes For MRI Exam

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (triceps) underwent an MRI exam on Friday and is meeting with a doctor to go over the results. Hoerner has missed the team's last four games with right triceps tightness and might have to be placed on the injured list. It would be a big blow for fantasy managers, as […]

Packers Defense A Streaming Option Vs. Chicago

The Green Bay Packers defense will host the Chicago Bears in their home opener on Sunday night. The team struggled last weekend against the Minnesota Vikings, allowing wide receiver Justin Jefferson to catch nine passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns. However, they have a more favorable matchup this week against the Justin Fields-led Bears. […]

Robert Tonyan A Decent Streaming Option For Week 2

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan faces the Chicago Bears this Sunday night in Green Bay's home opener. The 28-year-old tied for the team-high in targets last week with rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs and could see a decent target share again Sunday. San Francisco was without George Kittle last week, allowing Chicago to […]

Christian Watson An Extremely Risky Flex Option

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The first-round rookie played 66% of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against Minnesota but produced only two receptions on four targets for 34 yards. He also dropped a deep go-ahead touchdown down the sideline. It was positive to see […]

Nick Bosa A High-End Defensive End In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is a high-end DE/edge-rushing option for IDP leagues in his Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Bosa is coming off a one-sack, multi-pressure showing against the Bears and facing another weak offensive line. PFF ranked the Seahawks the single worst O-line in its preseason rankings, and they […]

49ers Defense Week 2 Outlook

The San Francisco 49ers defensive and special teams unit faces a Seattle Seahawks offense that entered the season with low expectations. The Seahawks ranked 20th in total offense last season—and that was with Russell Wilson at quarterback. Now Geno Smith is the starter. He looked very bad early in his career, then he only played […]

Robbie Gould's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is coming off a game in which he made the only field goal he attempted, and he's facing a Seattle Seahawks team this week that allowed 6.6 kicking points per game last season, the 13th-fewest in the league. The Seahawks defense is about average, and the 49ers offense is […]

Jordan Mason A Potential Stash

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Jordan Mason could have an expanded role in the 49ers upcoming home game against the Seattle Seahawks. With starting RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) set to miss the next eight or so games with a sprained MCL, other Niners backs will have to step up. Jeff Wilson Jr. is the […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Must Step Up In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. takes on the starting role for the 49ers in their Week 2 home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson started four games last year and averaged 44.3 yards per game and 3.9 yards per carry in those games. The Seahawks played well on defense in their Week […]

Brandon Aiyuk Has Good Matchup, Poor Situation

While San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk's Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is favorable on paper, the situation surrounding his team is not. The Seahawks defense allowed the second-most passing yards in 2021 and gave up 340 to the Broncos Week 1. Both the Broncos top two WRs scored double digits in PPR. […]

Deebo Samuel's Dual-Threat Role Brings Upside

San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel's role in his team's running game offers him some insurance value in his Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners' passing game looked terrible Week 1, and Samuel only made two catches, but he still finished inside the top 30 WRs in standard scoring on the strength […]

Matt Prater A Starting Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is a solid option in Week 2 in what could be a high-scoring affair with the Las Vegas Raiders. He didn't attempt a field goal in Week 1, but that was expected when the Cardinals went down by multiple possessions early in the game. The 38-year-old was a decent option […]

AJ Dillon Is A High-End RB2 In Week 2

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night in Green Bay's home opener. The 24-year-old tallied 15 touches in Week 1 against Minnesota, totaling 91 yards while scoring the Packers' lone touchdown. Dillon out-touched teammate Aaron Jones 15-8, and while he will likely have more carries on a […]

Cardinals Defense Draws Another Tough Matchup In Week 2

The Arizona Cardinals defense will have their hands full once again in Week 2 as they take on Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, and company. They were shredded in Week 1 by Patrick Mahomes as they allowed 360 passing yards and five touchdowns. After what we saw in the season opener, it is hard […]

Trey Lance Has Rushing Floor In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will attempt to quiet the doubters when the Seahawks come to Levi's Stadium for a Week 2 divisional matchup. Lance struggled last week against the Bears, finishing as the QB27, but Soldier Field was a sloppy mess from heavy rain. It is likely to rain in San Francisco, too, […]

Damien Williams Ruled Out For Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams (rib) has been ruled out for the Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Williams missed practice all week after picking up the injury in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was expected to have a big role as Cordarrelle Patterson's backup, […]

Greg Dortch Could Be A Solid Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch could have some solid upside in Week 2 after a strong performance in the season opener. The 24-year-old led the team in targets with nine, turning it into seven catches for 63 yards. With Rondale Moore (hamstring) unlikely to play again, Dortch will take on the slot receiver role […]

Aaron Jones A Bounce-Back Candidate Against Chicago

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. After receiving just eight touches last week, the 27-year-old will look to bounce back against the division rival. Jones was hyper-efficient with his touches, averaging 9.8 yards per carry and nine yards per reception in Week 1. Teammate AJ Dillon […]

Cory Sandhagen In Need Of A Rebound Win

After a couple of big knockout wins against future Hall of Famers, Cory Sandhagen (14-4) has struggled of late and is looking to rebound from back-to-back losses when he enters the Octagon for Saturday's main event against Song Yadong. With several impressive finishes under his belt against big names, nine of Sandhagen's 14 career wins […]

Song Yadong Looking For Fourth Straight Win

Riding a three-fight winning streak heading into Saturday's main event, Team Alpha Male's Song Yadong (19-6-1) will look to take a victory from the struggling Cory Sandhagen. Since joining the UFC in 2017, Yadong has amassed an impressive 8-1-1 record in the organization's bantamweight division. Able to earn a victory by any means necessary, 11 […]

Marquise Brown A Solid Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown will look to build on a solid start to the season after catching a touchdown in his Cardinals debut. The former Baltimore Raven looks to be Kyler Murray's go-to target down the field, as he had 102 air yards and an average target distance of 17 yards in the […]

Chris Godwin Still In Play For Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) and left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) are still in play to suit up in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. However, if Bowles had to guess, he said it's unlikely that either plays on Sunday. Expect both Godwin and Smith […]
