DeVonta Smith An Exciting Week 2 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is an exciting choice for fantasy lineups in Week 2. The Eagles will take on the San Francisco 49ers, who will have a much better defensive secondary than the Atlanta Falcons did in Week 1 when Smith debuted with six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. He […]

Allen Lazard Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 2

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard will try and put his Week 1 performance behind him when the team lines up against the Lions in Week 2. Lazard was held to only two catches for 16 yards against the Saints but will face a very shaky Lions secondary. The Lions surrendered 34 offensive points […]

Kyle Rudolph Is Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph will draw the start Week 2 with Evan Engram (calf) ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team. He caught two of five targets for eight yards during Sunday's 27-13 Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 31-year-old logged 47 snaps and owned 14% of […]

Davante Adams Set Up For Monster Week 2

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will have a very favorable matchup Week 2 against the Lions. Adams posted only five catches for 56 yards in Week 1 but will go up against a Lions secondary already in disarray with cornerback Jeff Okudah out for the season. The Lions allowed the third most fantasy […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is no longer fantasy relevant after the Eagles backfield usage was displayed in Week 1. Miles Sanders remained the starter and the lead back, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell served as a pass-catching and change-of-pace back. Scott was limited to a special teams role and did not even take the […]

Aaron Rodgers Primed For Bounce-Back Performance

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have the perfect opportunity to put the team's porous Week 1 behind them against the Lions in Week 2. Detroit's defense was ripped up for 41 points in Week 1 against the 49ers and prized cornerback prospect Jeff Okudah is now out for the season with a torn […]

Kenneth Gainwell Not A Starting Option Just Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was surprisingly involved more than expected in Week 1 and should continue to carve out a role in the Philly backfield in Week 2. In his first NFL game, Gainwell saw 11 touches and scored a touchdown. While he clearly worked behind starter Miles Sanders, he also banished […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was solid in Week 1, but he will face a tougher defense and possibly a less favorable game script in Week 2. In Week 1, Sanders saw 19 touches, gaining 74 yards on 15 rushes and catching four passes for 39 yards through the air. While there were some […]

Jalen Hurts Faces A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was outstanding in Week 1 but faces a tougher challenge in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Hurts was able to torch an awful Atlanta Falcons secondary for 264 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, adding 62 yards with his legs as well. While he may not see […]

J.T. Realmuto Returns To Lineup At First Base On Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (shoulder) is back in the lineup Wednesday versus Alec Mills and the Cubs. Realmuto will play first base with Andrew Knapp getting another game behind the plate as Realmuto continues to nurse a shoulder injury. Philadelphia announced Realmuto would see more time at first base to try and keep its […]

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Wednesday

Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs is not practicing on Wednesday as he nurses toe and ankle injuries. While this is not exactly surprising news, it's not ideal for fantasy managers who watched Jacobs limp off the field a couple of times on Monday night. Toe injuries are historically problematic for running backs since they […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Great Week 2 Option

The Dallas Cowboys defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 lineups. Traveling to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere in the bottom five of fantasy units for Week 2. Although they certainly looked improved from last year in Week 1 and managed four […]

Pharaoh Brown Unable To Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (undisclosed) was unable to practice Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. Brown suffered the injury at some point during his team's Week 1 victory over the Jaguars, but it didn't affect his production much, as he totaled four receptions for 67 yards. The official practice report will shed some […]

Greg Zuerlein Looks For A Better Week 2

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein will look for better results in Week 2 when he and his team take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein attempted eight kicks in Week 1, missing an extra point and two field goals. Because of the Dallas offense, Zuerlein should see plenty of kicking opportunities, but he seems limited […]

Jesus Aguilar Likely Done For The Year

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) is not expected to be able to return to the field this season. Aguilar was placed on the injured list last week, and it seems like he will simply run out of time and won't be able to return before the end of the season. The big first […]

Dalton Schultz Only An Option In Deep Leagues In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is only a fantasy starting option in very deep leagues and two-tight end formats. Schultz led the Cowboys tight ends in Week 1 with six targets, catching all six for 45 yards. Blake Jarwin figures to get more and more involved as he gets back up to speed after […]

Jamison Crowder Will Return In Week 2

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that the team expects to have slot receiver Jamison Crowder and wide receiver Keelan Cole back in time for Sunday's game against the Patriots. As a reliable veteran, Crowder's return is good news for Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. However, how much the slot receiver plays is […]

Blake Jarwin A Depth Option For Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end leagues for a Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jarwin came back from his ACL tear last week after missing almost all of the 2020 season. In the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, he […]

Willy Adames Participates In Pregame Drills

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Willy Adames (quad) participated in pregame drills ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He ran and participated in fielding drills on Wednesday. Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list last Sunday with a quad injury. The 26-year-old remains day-to-day but is trending in the right direction to be activated […]

Anthony Firkser Misses Open Portion of Practice

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser was spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice but went inside before the open portion. There was no report of an injury for Firkser after Week 1, so perhaps this is just a rest day. However, fantasy managers should be concerned that, despite a positive game script, Firkser […]

Raimel Tapia Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He will get the day off after hitting .162 (6-for-37) with an RBI over his last 11 games. Sam Hilliard (elbow) is in the lineup, batting sixth and starting in left field. Hilliard returns to the lineup after […]

Hank Lebioda Trending In The Wrong Direction

Hank Lebioda had a nice little run over the summer when he finished 13th, 51st, 17th, 31st, fifth, fourth and eighth in seven consecutive starts. Since then, however, Lebioda has missed back-to-back cuts. The Florida State product's hot streak always felt like it was unsustainable given how much he was relying on his putter. Lebioda […]

Shane Bieber Throws 47 Pitches In Rehab Start

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber (shoulder) allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out three across 2 2/3 innings in Tuesday's rehab start with Triple-A Columbus. He has been sidelined since mid-June with a strained right shoulder. The Guardians are out of the playoff race and won't rush their ace […]

Alex Verdugo Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went 2-for-5 with a two-run shot in Tuesday's win. The 25-year-old will get the day off slashing .375/.360/.500 with six RBI over his last seven games. Fantasy managers with daily moves need to remove Verdugo from their lineups. Jose Iglesias […]

Marc Leishman Not Worth The Risk At Silverado

Marc Leishman is a proven winner who is certainly one of the more talented players in this field based on pedigree alone. With that being said, the Australian has struggled all season to find any semblance of consistent form, and while he has popped with top-fives at the Travelers, the Masters, and the Sony Open, […]
