Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is gearing up for Sunday's season opener against the New England Patriots.

Younghoe Koo – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was a top fantasy kicker in 2020. He made all but two of his 39 field goal attempts that year. Unfortunately, the Atlanta offense struggled in 2021, and his numbers regressed. Koo made 93.1% of his field goal attempts last season but had only 29 tries in 17 games. However, he was […]

Kyle Pitts Could Have A Disappointing Opening Week 1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is coming off a historic rookie season. He had 1,026 receiving yards last year, the second-most by a rookie tight end. However, the former fourth overall pick had only one touchdown in 2021. Despite the lack of touchdown production, Pitts was one of the top tight ends last season. Unfortunately, he […]

Olamide Zaccheaus – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has never been a fantasy-relevant player. He has never had more than 31 receptions any year of his career. Furthermore, the undrafted free agent from Virginia has five career touchdowns. The 25-year-old caught 31 of 53 targets for 406 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games in 2021. He signed a […]

Drake London A Risky Start In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) had a less-than-ideal preseason. He suffered a knee injury in the first preseason game and never saw the field again. The former USC Trojan is questionable for the matchup against the divisional rival New Orleans Saints. After being a limited participant in practice the past few days, […]

Damien Williams – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams won the backup job during the preseason and is listed as the No. 2 running back on the depth chart. However, Williams wasn't fantasy-relevant last year, scoring three total touchdowns on 56 touches with the Chicago Bears. Furthermore, Williams has never been a full-time starter. Yet, he averaged 4.7 yards per […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Low-End RB3 In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is coming off the best year of his career. The former first-round pick had 153 rushing attempts for 618 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns last season, all career highs. He also averaged a solid four yards per rushing attempt. Unfortunately, Patterson's matchup this week isn't ideal for fantasy […]

Marcus Mariota – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota heads into Week 1 as the starter. After winning the job early in training camp over the rookie Desmond Ridder, Mariota should start the first several games of the year, barring injury. However, the last time he was a full-time starter was in 2019 with the Tennessee Titans. That year, […]

Sterling Shepard Not On Final Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) was left off the team's final injury report after being a limited participant in practice on Friday.

Giovani Bernard Good To Go For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and has been cleared to play in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. Bernard struggled with injuries last year while Leonard Fournette proved to be a capable pass-catcher out of the backfield, making his role in 2022 uncertain. The Bucs […]

Ty Montgomery Officially Questionable For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Ty Montgomery (knee) has been listed as questionable on the team's final injury report ahead of their Week 1 bout with the Miami Dolphins. Montgomery suffered an ankle injury in the Patriots' preseason finale, but he has been listed with a knee injury while logging limited practices throughout this week. […]

Donald Parham Jr. Doubtful To Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 1 on the team's final injury report. This designation is unsurprising as Parham has been unable to practice this week ahead of the Chargers' divisional matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. With Parham unlikely to play, Gerald Everett will […]

Jason Sanders - Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has plenty of fantasy appeal heading into Week 1 against the New England Patriots. A kicker's success is rooted in his talent, the dominance of his team's offense, and the weather conditions. While the Dolphins don't play in a dome, the weather in South Beach will be calm on Sunday […]

Tony Gonsolin Will Throw A Bullpen Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.

If all goes well, the 28-year-old could head off on a rehab […]

Dolphins Defense - Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Miami Dolphins defense has decent fantasy appeal heading into their Week 1 contest against the New England Patriots. PFF graded Miami's defense sixth in the NFL last season, and the unit has the potential to succeed against the Patriots. Mac Jones remains interception-prone, and although New England should put up enough points to keep […]

Brusdar Graterol To Throw Bullpen Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Brusdar Graterol (elbow) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Sunday. This will mark the first time the reliever has thrown off of the mound since landing on the injured list with inflammation in his pitching elbow at the beginning of September.

Russell Gage Officially Questionable For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the team's final injury report for Week 1. Chris Godwin (knee) is also questionable, but it seems as if there may be more optimism for Gage to suit up against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The fourth-year wideout has logged limited […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki heads into the 2022 season with a clear grasp of the No. 1 position on the depth chart. He totaled 73 catches, 780 yards, and two touchdowns last season before the Dolphins franchise tagged him. Now, he is widely viewed as a low-end TE1 entering 2022, having seen his […]

Gavin Lux Unlikely To Return Until Next Week

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux (back) is unlikely to return to action until the Arizona Diamondbacks series next week, at the earliest. Lux hasn't played in a week and needed to go for a cortisone shot on Saturday. The 24-year-old's sore back has been doing better since but he is still going to be […]

Brendan McKay Needs Tommy John Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Brendan McKay (elbow) will go in for Tommy John surgery next week, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin. McKay threw just one pitch in a rehab start for Triple-A Durham in late August after recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome earlier in the season. The once highly-prized prospect hasn't pitched […]

Tyreek Hill - Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is gearing up to make his debut with his new team this coming Sunday. As Miami plays host to the New England Patriots, Hill has immediate WR1 potential. The ex-Chiefs speedster has developed a strong rapport with Tua Tagovailoa throughout training camp and will be going up against a […]

49ers Defense A Top Option In Week 1

The San Francisco 49ers defensive and special teams unit has a favorable matchup against a Chicago Bears offense that should struggle to move the ball. Last season, the Bears ranked 27th in points scored and 24th in total yards. Their weak offensive line allowed their quarterback to be sacked 58 times, the most in the […]

Justin Verlander Throws Bullpen Friday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (calf) threw a 30-pitch bullpen Friday, and pitching coach Josh Miller reported that "everything went well" during the session. Verlander has been progressing nicely after hurting his calf in a start two weeks ago and expects to return to the Astros rotation before the season is over. That being […]

Tyler Glasnow Set For Next Rehab Start

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is set for another rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Durham after his first rehab outing went well.

Washington Nationals left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Friday and could join Triple-A Rochester for a rehab start on Sunday.

Robert Tonyan Cleared For Week 1

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) doesn't enter the weekend with an injury designation and is expected to play in the Week 1 regular season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being limited in practice this week.
