Hunter Renfrow A WR3/Flex Option In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow will remain a focal point of the team's offense in the season opener Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Renfrow received a two-year, $32M extension this offseason to continue to be one of quarterback Derek Carr's most reliable targets. After not seeing the field in the preseason, Renfrow is ready to […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looks To Build Off ROY Campaign On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will look to build off an effective rookie year against the visiting Steelers in Week 1. Chase introduced himself to Pittsburgh by accumulating four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns back in Week 3 last season. However, Week 12 was different, as the former LSU Tiger had only […]

Mo Alie-Cox A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox is on the top of the depth chart to begin the season. Despite that, Alie-Cox has never surpassed 400 receiving yards in a single season. The Colts have Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr. have are going to get a bulk of the action on this offense. Although, the […]

Alec Pierce Unlikely To Have Success In Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has quietly been making a strong impact during training camp. The rookie wideout is expected to compete with Parris Campbell for the No. 2 role in Indy. However, it's unlikely that Pierce has a ton of fantasy value to begin the season. He's still learning this system and offensive […]

Joe Mixon Faces Familiar Foe In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to build off a fantastic 2021-22 campaign with a matchup with Pittsburgh in Week 1. Mixon has had mixed success versus the Steelers over the years. However, in Week 12 of last season, he had his best performance against the AFC North rival, accumulating 165 yards and […]

Parris Campbell A Risky Option For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell has struggled to establish himself through three seasons in the league. The former second round pick has played in a total of 15 games through three seasons with the Colts. The hope is that he can stay healthy and be the No. 2 option for the Colts. Although, he'll […]

Brandon McManus A Borderline Starter In Week 1

Because of an extremely inconsistent Denver Broncos offense last year, kicker Brandon McManus finished tied for 17th in overall fantasy points in standard scoring at his position. But the addition of nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson in 2022 gives the offense a much higher ceiling heading into the Week 1 season opener on Monday […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Has Low-End WR1 Value

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off a strong campaign where he finished with over 1,000 receiving yards last season. The 24-year-old is looking to add onto that season with new quarterback Matt Ryan under center. The expectation is that Pittman will have a heavy workload which should mean increased value. At […]

Patrick Wisdom Activated From The Injured List

Chicago Cubs corner infielder Patrick Wisdom (finger) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 31-year-old slugger missed a few weeks with a ring finger sprain on his left hand but he should be good to go for the remainder of the regular season. Wisdom owns a subpar .217/.311/.438 batting line but […]

Nyheim Hines A Possible Flex Option

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is expected to have an increased workload this upcoming season. He is the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor, but will also be the pass-catcher in the backfield. The assumption is that Hines will be heavily involved in this Colts offense. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 1 against […]

Nick Madrigal Placed On The Injured List

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain. The 25-year-old infielder left Friday's game against the Giants early with right groin tightness and that's the ailment that's placed him on the IL. He was hampered by a left groin issue earlier this season […]

Jonathan Taylor Has Excellent Matchup Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was projected as one of the best fantasy players heading into this season. He's coming off a year where he rushed for 1,811 yards with 18 touchdowns in 17 games. The Colts coaching staff mentioned that they do plan on limiting Taylor more this upcoming season. Despite that, Taylor […]

Broncos Defense A High-End Play In Week 1

The Denver Broncos defense will be an excellent high-end fantasy option for a Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Seattle is expected to start two rookies at offensive tackle in first-rounder Charles Cross and third-round right tackle Abraham Lucas. They'll also be facing quarterback Geno Smith, who is considered one of […]

Matt Ryan Has QB1 Upside

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will make his team debut against the Houston Texans in Week 1. The 37-year-old is coming off a below average season where he threw for 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games with the Atlanta Falcons. The expectation is that Ryan will have better fantasy value in Indy. He'll […]

Steven Matz Starting At Double-A Springfield On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz (knee) is set to make another rehab start with Double-A Springfield on Saturday. The 31-year-old lefty made a rehab start earlier this week, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings. If he continues with his progression, he could return to the Cardinals in the next few weeks or so. Matz […]

Albert Okwuegbunam A Streaming Option In Week 1

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who caught 33 of 40 targets for 330 yards and two touchdowns in his second NFL season in 2021, has a huge opportunity heading into his third year. The Broncos sent Noah Fant to the Seattle Seahawks in the deal to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson, and rookie third-rounder Greg […]

Dominic Leone Has Been Released

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Dominic Leone has received unconditional release waivers. The veteran reliever was put on the injured list earlier in the week with a right elbow impingement but San Francisco decided just to release him. He had an up-and-down season, compiling a 4.01 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 52:24 K/BB ratio over 49 […]

Jerry Jeudy Has More Potential Heading Into Week 1

The Denver Broncos failed to use wide receiver Jerry Jeudy as a playmaker last year, and he played in only 10 games, leading to a disappointing final line of 38 catches, 467 yards and no touchdowns in his second season. With quarterback Russell Wilson now in town and receiver Tim Patrick (knee) out for the […]

Luis Robert Remains Out For The White Sox

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) is still absent from the lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The dynamic 25-year-old will miss his fourth straight game after being plunked on the hand on Tuesday against the Mariners. Prior to being struck on the hand, he was dealing with a left wrist injury that […]

Josh Winder Likely Recalled To Start Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Josh Winder has been scratched from his start at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, which likely means he'll be recalled to start Sunday vs. the Cleveland Guardians. This is according to beat writer Aaron Gleeman, who reported that when the Twins used Aaron Sanchez in relief on Friday night that they […]

Yasmani Grandal Back In The Lineup

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (back) has returned to the lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran backstop had missed the previous two games with back tightness but he's back out there behind the dish and batting eighth against Oakland hurler Adrian Martinez. Injuries have limited Grandal to just 81 games played […]

Courtland Sutton A Must-Start In Week 1

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton enters the Week 1 season opener on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks as new quarterback Russell Wilson's top target. The 26-year-old was Wilson's favorite target in training camp and has looked like his 2019 Pro Bowl self, when he caught 72 passes for a career-high 1,112 yards and […]

Melvin Gordon III Hoping To Remain Involved

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III might be the most hated player in fantasy football, at least by managers that have Javonte Williams rostered. The two had exactly 203 carries as they split the backfield right down the middle in 2021, which was a big headache for fantasy managers. Heading into Week 1 on […]

Javonte Williams Looking To Start Strong In Week 1

Denver Broncos second-year running back Javonte Williams has RB1 upside in fantasy heading into his second year in the league. But that's only if the Broncos new coaching staff unleashes him as the true leader of this backfield. The problem is Melvin Gordon III remains in the picture, and head coach Nathaniel Hackett suggested this […]

John Bates Expected To Play On Sunday

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates (calf) practiced fully throughout the week and is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Jaguars. With Logan Thomas (knee) and Cole Turner (hamstring) also banged up, the team may lean more on Bates in Week 1. However, that doesn't mean he'll make a good fantasy option, so […]

Darren Waller Agrees To Extension

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has agreed to a three-year extension. The veteran will earn $51 million in new cash, ending a months-long negotiation process. The 29-year-old has accumulated 3,184 yards and 16 touchdowns off 270 catches during his career. He played only 11 games last season due to injury. However, if Waller […]

Russell Wilson Faces Old Team In Broncos Debut

After recently signing a five-year, $245 million contract extension with the Denver Broncos, quarterback Russell Wilson gets set to make his team debut in Week 1 on Monday night against his former squad, the Seattle Seahawks. In what is expected to be an up-tempo Denver offense with Wilson now in the fold, the 33-year-old veteran […]

Cam Sims Good To Go For Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Cam Sims (concussion) will play on Sunday against Jacksonville. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion during the preseason and spent some time in protocol. With that said, Sims isn't expected to play a substantial role in the offense this season and should remain behind Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson on the depth […]

Salvon Ahmed Questionable For Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (heel) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in the Week 1 regular season opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Ahmed is currently fourth on the team's running back depth chart behind Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Myles Gaskin, so he's […]
