Rashard Higgins Will Play More As Season Progresses

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins, who played just four snaps in Week 1, should see his role expand as the season carries on. "He was our fourth receiver going in," noted offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. "We played a lot of three receiver sets. He came in and spelled guys when the time was […]

Panthers Defense Not A Starting Option Against Saints

The Carolina Panthers defense is not a solid starting option this week as they take on a Saints team that put up 38 points on the Packers last week. Rejuvenated quarterback Jameis Winston played turnover-free ball while tossing five touchdowns in his first game as a Saint. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara racked up 83 rushing yards […]

Ravens Defense Banged Up Heading Into Week 2

The Baltimore Ravens' defense is dealing with injuries to several starters. Cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (back) and Jimmy Smith (ankle) are both questionable for Sunday. Meanwhile, defensive end Derek Wolfe (hip, back) has been ruled out. None of this is good news for the team's overall defense, which already has to face Patrick Mahomes during primetime. […]

Dan Arnold Should Remain On Bench

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold is not a starting-caliber fantasy option this week. As the new TE1 of the team, Arnold put up a miserable showing last week, getting two receptions for six yards on three targets. In addition, TE Ian Thomas also outshined him by putting up 17 yards. Both TEs are not […]

Nick Folk Set To Receive Promotion

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk is a top candidate to receive a promotion to the 53-man roster this weekend. New England placed rookie Quinn Nordin (abdomen) on injured reserve and is now left without a kicker. Folk, who was active in Week 1 while Nordin's debut was put on hold, is currently on the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Should See Large Workload In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. should continue to see a significant workload against the Colts in Week 2. While Sony Michel remains present on the depth chart, he logged just one carry last week. Henderson, meanwhile, rushed 16 times and was on the field for 94 percent of offensive snaps. Head coach […]

Peyton Barber Heading For Expanded Role

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber could see an expanded role against the Steelers in Week 2 after starter Josh Jacobs (toe, ankle) was ruled out ahead of time. While Kenyan Drake is the next man up, the growing expectation is that Barber, too, will see a significant workload. While speaking to the media […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Best Left On The Bench

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. is not a fantasy-worthy play in Week 2 against the Saints. The rookie out of LSU made his NFL debut last week and it wasn't all that memorable as he posted three receptions for 26 yards on six targets. The only encouraging thing was his number of targets, […]

Robby Anderson A Flex At Best Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson shouldn't be considered anything more than a flex play this week against New Orleans. Though the receiver posted a touchdown last week, it was his only catch of the day as he finished with one catch for 57 yards on three targets. This week, he faces a tough Saints […]

Anthony Firkser Slapped With Questionable Tag

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Firkser was limited both Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday, so he's in danger of sitting out this weekend. The 26-year-old had a higher snap percentage (48.4) than Geoff Swaim in the Week […]

D.J. Moore A WR2 Against New Orleans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a WR2 against the Saints this week. Moore managed six receptions for 80 yards on eight targets last week, which ranked second on the team behind Christian McCaffrey. As the WR1 of the team, the 24-year-old should see decent volume each week. Even though the matchup against New […]

Christian McCaffrey A Solid RB1 In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a solid RB1 this week against the Saints. McCaffrey didn't miss a beat in the season opener as he posted 21 carries for 98 rushing yards and nine receptions for 89 yards on nine targets. The Saints stifled the Packers' rush attack last week, but McCaffrey is the […]

Sam Darnold Faces Tough Matchup Against Saints

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is not a strong start this week against the Saints. The former Jet fared well against his old team last week, posting 279 yards and a touchdown. Nevertheless, this week he faces a New Orleans defense that held last year's MVP Aaron Rodgers and his team to a measly three […]

Vikings Being Cautious With Eric Kendricks

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals after being added to the injury report on Thursday. Kendricks was limited on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so he should be good to go for this Sunday. "He's good. He's all right. We're […]

Eric Ebron Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (hamstring) got in a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. There was some concern over Ebron after he was a non practice participant on Thursday, but he'll be out there this Sunday. The Steelers offense […]

Zach Ertz Off The Final Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) took part in a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Ertz didn't practice on Wednesday and was then limited on Thursday. The 30-year-old will be available to work in tandem once again with […]

Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole Questionable Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receivers Jamison Crowder (groin) and Keelan Cole (knee) were limited in practice this week and are questionable to play in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. Crowder and Cole were both absent in the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are optimistic about Crowder and Cole making […]

Jonnu Smith Is Questionable To Play In Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) was limited at practice on Thursday and Friday and is questionable to play in Week 2 against the New York Jets. Smith has a pretty good chance of playing after getting in two limited practices this week, but check back on Sunday morning to make sure he's […]

Gabriel Davis Draws A Questionable Tag

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis (ankle) was limited in practice the last two days and is questionable for the Week 2 clash with the Miami Dolphins. Beasley is fourth on Buffalo's receiver depth chart, behind Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley. All three of the wideouts ahead of him played over 90 percent […]

Buccaneers Defense A Dependable Option In Week 2

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense could put together a solid fantasy line in Week 2 against the Falcons. Tampa Bay's unit compiled just one sack and one interception in last week's shootout with the Cowboys, though the Falcons' underwhelming offense could present them with a prime opportunity. Even with a couple of players banged up, […]

Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell Questionable For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (ankle) and Parris Campbell (abdomen) both showed up on the injury report on Friday and are now questionable for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. The good news is that both players were limited in practice on Friday and have a chance to play this Sunday. Pittman […]

Will Henry Ruggs III Have An Impact In Week 2?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is looking to make more of an impact in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 22-year-old Alabama product had just two receptions on five targets for 46 yards in Monday's 33-27 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens as Derek Carr favored connecting with Bryan Edwards and […]

Rob Gronkowski A Back-End TE1 Against Atlanta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is a solid bet to find the end zone once again in Week 2 against the Falcons. Gronkowski corralled all eight targets for 90 yards and two scores while playing 88 percent of the snaps against the Cowboys in Week 1. The big tight end's connection with Tom […]

Anthony Schwartz Listed As Questionable Against Texans

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Anthony Schwartz (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for the Week 2 contest against the Houston Texans. Schwartz played 52.5 percent of the offensive snaps in his NFL debut with Odell Beckham Jr. out, but he looked good when he was on the field […]

Hunter Renfrow Looking To Make Bigger Impact In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is looking to make an even bigger impact in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 27-year-old had six receptions for 70 yards in Monday's 33-27 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens, connecting with Derek Carr later in the game as the QB expanded his repertoire and targeted […]

Antonio Brown An Upside Play In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has upside in a great Week 2 matchup against the Falcons. Brown started his year off with a bang against Dallas, totaling five receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown. The former All-Pro torched this same Atlanta defense for 16 catches, 231 yards, and three touchdowns in two […]

Quinn Nordin Expected To Land On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots rookie kicker Quinn Nordin (abdomen) is expected to be put on Injured Reserve with an abdomen injury, according to a source. The good news is that Nordin will likely be able to return this year, and the team is hoping that he'll be back by November. Nordin missed the season-opening loss to […]

Chris Godwin A Safe WR2 Against Atlanta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin draws a favorable matchup against the Falcons in Week 2. Godwin was by far Tom Brady's favorite target in the opener against the Cowboy- as the wideout totaled nine catches for 105 yards and a score on a whopping 14 targets. The talented receiver scored a touchdown in […]

Preston Williams Questionable For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot, knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for the Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills. Williams missed the season-opening win over the New England Patriots with his foot injury and was able to practice in full on Thursday, but he's now dealing with a […]

Mike Evans Could Bounce Back Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans could be in store for a bounce-back against the Falcons in Week 2. Evans saw six targets in a Week 1 shootout with Dallas, though he failed to do much of anything, turning in just three receptions for 24 yards. A matchup with an Atlanta defense that allowed […]
