Chargers Place Bryan Bulaga On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga (back) on Injured Reserve on Friday and signed offensive lineman Michael Schofield in a corresponding move. Bulaga injured his back in the Week 1 win over the Washington Football Team and will miss at least the next three weeks. With Bulaga out, expect Storm Norton to […]

Za'Darius Smith Lands On Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith (back) is heading to Injured Reserve on Friday. Although Smith was able to play in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints, his back has been bothering him since the start of training camp, and he played in just 29 percent of the defensive snaps in the […]

Marquise Goodwin, Darnell Mooney Questionable

Chicago Bears wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) and wide receiver Darnell Mooney (back) are listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the Chicago Sun-Times' Jason Lieser assumes they'll both play after they've been practicing this week. As long as veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is running this offense, it's hard to really […]

Mike Gesicki A Bounce-Back Candidate For Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was held without a catch during the season opener versus the New England Patriots. Gesicki was targeted three times, but failed to haul in a single reception. Now, he'll get a matchup against the Buffalo Bills defense that allowed the most receptions to tight ends last season. The Dolphins […]

Jaylen Waddle A Risky Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle made a solid NFL debut against the New England Patriots in Week 1. He hauled in four of his five targets for 61 yards and one touchdown in the win. Fantasy managers who trusted Waddle are feeling good, but it won't get easier for him in Week 2. He'll […]

DeVante Parker Unlikely To Succeed Versus Bills

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker saw an increased usage with Will Fuller (personal) absent in Week 1. It's likely going to be more of the same with Fuller sidelined again versus the Buffalo Bills. Parker saw seven targets and hauled in four of them for 81 yards in the win over the New England […]

Myles Gaskin A Trustworthy Flex Option

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin saw plenty of action during the season opener. He rushed nine times for 49 yards and hauled in five receptions for 27 yards through the air. He'll get a matchup against the Buffalo Bills defense that had trouble keeping running backs out of the end zone last season. It […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa gave an underwhelming performance during the season opener. He completed 16-of-27 passing attempts for 202 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the win over the New England Patriots. The tough matchups continue for Tagovailoa as he gets the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. A defense that allowed the […]

Dawson Knox Not An Ideal Option In Week 2

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox did fairly well during the season opener. He hauled in all four of his targets for 41 yards in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He averaged over 10 yards per reception against a tough defense. It won't get easier for him against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. […]

Emmanuel Sanders Should Play In Week 2

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) was held out of Thursday's practice as a precaution. The 34-year-old has been dealing with lingering foot issues, so the team elected to give him a day off. Sanders recorded four receptions on eight targets for 52 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It […]

Melvin Gordon III Has Opportunity In Week 2

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III wasn't a sexy pick in fantasy drafts because of the presence of rookie second-rounder Javonte Williams. Both running backs split snaps evenly down the middle (50 percent each) in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants, but it was Gordon who out-produced Williams on the ground […]

Daulton Jefferies To Start Saturday, James Kaprielian To 'Pen

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian will transition to a bullpen role with Daulton Jefferies making the start on Saturday versus the Angels, according to Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle. Kaprielian had a strong first half for Oakland, but he's hit a wall recently, pitching to a 6.51 ERA since July 27. The […]

Anthony Barr, Everson Griffen Out For Vikings Defense

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and defensive end Everson Griffen (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Cornerback Harrison Hand (hamstring) will also be inactive. Griffen, who played only 28 of 69 defensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, is in a rotational pass-rushing […]

Teddy Bridgewater Has A Great Matchup In Week 2

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater didn't exactly raise eyebrows in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants, but he got the job done by going 28-for-36 for 264 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Bridgewater prefers short passes as opposed to challenging defenses deep down the field, as his longest completion in Week […]

Cole Beasley A Fine WR3 Versus Dolphins

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley has been a surprisingly solid option in PPR formats since last season. The Bills are stacked at wideout, but continue to get Beasley involved on a weekly basis. Last week, he hauled in eight of his 13 targets for 60 yards in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It […]

Stefon Diggs Remains Elite Option In Week 2

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs looked strong during the season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He hauled in nine of his 13 targets for 69 yards in the loss. This was a tough matchup for Diggs, but clearly the targets were still there. It won't get much easier for him against Byron Jones and […]

Zack Moss A Risky Option Versus Miami

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss was a healthy scratch from the Week 1 battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite that, head coach Sean McDermott has mentioned Moss looks good in practice. It sounds like Moss should be available for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. He'll be asked to split up the carries with […]

Browns Place Anthony Walker On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns are placing linebacker Anthony Walker (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday with a hamstring strain, according to a source. Walker should be back in three weeks. The 26-year-old calls defensive plays for the team, so his loss is a notable one, even if it's only for three weeks. He racked up nine […]

Devin Singletary Falls Into Flex Territory For Week 2

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was the clear cut No. 1 back during the season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Second-year back Zack Moss was a healthy scratch, which meant more touches for Singletary. He finished with 72 yards on 11 carries in the loss to Pittsburgh. It was a solid day on the […]

Trey Sermon Likely To Be Active In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Trey Sermon is likely to be active in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, alongside fellow rookie Elijah Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty. Sermon was a surprise inactive in the season-opening win over the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said there was an "extra aggressiveness" from […]

Josh Allen Should Rebound Versus Dolphins

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was fairly average during the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He threw for 270 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the loss. Allen gets another tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins secondary that allowed the second-fewest passing touchdowns last season. Despite that, Allen has a stacked set […]

Zack Moss Has Looked Good In Practice This Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that the health of running back Zack Moss in training camp contributed to him being inactive in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, McDermott said that Moss has looked good in practice this week. In Moss' absence in the season opener, Devin Singletary played 75.2 […]

Dietrich Enns Picks Up Second Win Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Dietrich Enns (2-0) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out three over four innings in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. He earned his second win of the season. The 30-year-old followed opener Louis Head and threw four strong innings to pick up the win. […]

Yandy Diaz Blasts Leadoff Homer Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. He smacked a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning to give the Rays a 1-0 lead. It was his 11th long ball of the season. The 30-year-old […]

Mike Zunino Launches 31st Home Run On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. He blasted a two-run shot in the sixth inning to extend the Rays lead 5-2. The 30-year-old has now homered in back-to-back games. Zunino is slashing .203/.291/.554 with 31 home runs, 59 RBI, and […]

Kadarius Toney Logs 19 Snaps, Not Targeted In Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney was not targeted in Thursday's 30-29 loss to the Washington Football Team. The 2021 first-round pick played 19 snaps and didn't have a single touch or target. Toney has two catches for (-2) yards to start the season. The 22-year-old is still catching up to speed with the […]

Hunter Henry Should Bounce Back Against Jets

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was quiet during the season debut against the Miami Dolphins. He hauled in all three of his targets for 31 yards in the loss. There could be more targets available for Henry in Week 2 with Jonnu Smith (hip) being limited right now. The New York Jets defense […]
