Kenyan Drake Will Have Elevated Role In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake is set to have a big impact in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Josh Jacobs officially ruled out for Sunday's game at Heinz Field, Drake is primed to be the star of Vegas' rush game. The 27-year-old split time with Jacobs in Week 1, recording six […]

Saints Defense A Solid Option In Week 2

The New Orleans Saints defense is a solid starting option in Week 2 against the Panthers. New Orleans will be without defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder) and linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow), though they should still have enough playmakers to justify starting against Carolina. New Orleans totaled two interceptions, two sacks, and a fumble recovery against […]

Derek Carr Up Against Another Tough Defense In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is looking to keep his team undefeated as he faces off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. The 30-year-old veteran is coming off an impressive Week 1, having completed 34 of 56 passes for 435 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in last Monday's dramatic 33-27 overtime […]

Pharaoh Brown A Dart-Throw In Week 2

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (shoulder, ankle) turned in a limited practice Friday, giving him a chance to suit up against the Browns. The big tight end has a questionable tag heading into the contest, though there's an opportunity for success against a Browns team that surrendered the third-most fantasy points per game to […]

Nico Collins Has Good Opportunity In Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has a chance to deliver the first productive outing of his career against the Browns in Week 2. Collins had a quiet game in the box score, but had a touchdown called back due to a penalty. The big-bodied receiver was already being looked to as a red-zone weapon […]

Danny Amendola Could Have Value In Deeper Leagues

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola will look to post solid numbers again in Week 2 against the Browns. Amendola hauled in five receptions, the second-most on the team, for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. While fellow slot receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) will see his first action of the season Sunday, Amendola […]

Brandin Cooks A Trustworthy Option Against Cleveland

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks draws a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the Browns. Cooks was the clear top target in Houston's offense in Week 1, seeing seven targets and turning them into five receptions for 132 yards, including two plays of 40 yards or more. Cleveland allowed the eighth-most pass plays of […]

Darren Waller A Must-Start In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is going to have his hands full on Sunday as the Silver and Black visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. In addition to playing on shortened rest and having to travel cross-country, the 29-year-old is going up against a Steelers defense that gave up the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing […]

Phillip Lindsay Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 2

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay will look to find room against a stingy Browns run defense in Week 2. Lindsay played the fewest snaps of the three Texans' halfbacks last week but saw the second-most touches, compiling 25 rushing yards and a score against Jacksonville. The Texans led for much of that game but […]

David Johnson Could Be More Involved In Week 2

Houston Texans running back David Johnson could be more involved in Week 2 against the Browns. Johnson played just 28 percent of the snaps, second among the team's running backs, though he managed to see four targets in a game where the Texans were leading for much of the contest. Even against a Browns defense […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/18/21 Primetime)

Our Saturday prime time slate is a little bit bigger than in week 1. We don't have the top-five matchup that the opening week had, but we do have some intriguing matchups. All 16 teams are part of FBS, so there are more knowns than unknowns. We kick this off with South Carolina heading to […]

Mark Ingram II A Low-End Flex Against Browns

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II faces a tough matchup in Week 2 against Cleveland. Ingram was one of the biggest Week 1 surprises, carrying the ball a whopping 26 times for 85 rushing yards and a touchdown. However, the veteran back was on the field for just 46 percent of the offensive snaps, […]

Tyrod Taylor On The Streaming Radar Once Again In Week 2

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor draws a favorable matchup against his former team, the Cleveland Browns, in Week 2. Taylor excelled in his first start as a Texan, throwing for 291 yards and two scores through the air while adding 40 yards on the ground against Jacksonville. Cleveland's defense surrendered more fantasy points per game […]

Deshaun Watson Ruled Out For Week 2

The Houston Texans have ruled out quarterback Deshaun Watson for the second straight week in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Watson will continue to be a healthy scratch for the Texans all season as his legal process plays out while facing 20-plus lawsuits for sexual assault. As a result, he's off the fantasy radar […]

Marquise Brown Officially Questionable For Sunday Night

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. Brown missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to return to a limited practice on Friday, which at least gives him a chance to suit up on game […]

Jedrick Wills Questionable For Home Opener

Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills (ankle) is questionable for Week 2 against the Houston Texans after getting injured in the Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He did not practice all week. Chris Hubbard (triceps), Wills' primary backup, has already been ruled out for this Sunday. If Wills is unable to play, […]

Marshon Lattimore Will Be A Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hand) will be a game-time decision in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers after he had surgery on his hand this week. Lattimore injured his thumb in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers and is considered week-to-week. The team's top cornerback also agreed to a contract […]

Josh Jacobs Ruled Out For Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle, toe) has officially been ruled out for Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after he missed practice all week. Fantasy managers should be firing up Kenyan Drake in all formats after he split the backfield with Jacobs in the season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens. Jacobs played […]

Tyler Conklin Lacks Fantasy Appeal

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin will face the Cardinals in Week 2. Conklin made his debut with his new team and caught all four of his targets for 41 yards last Sunday against the Bengals. Conklin came down with a nice 27-yard grab in the game and now will face a Cardinals defense that […]

Can K.J. Osborn Build Off Week 1?

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn will try and build off his solid Week 1 performance this Sunday against the Cardinals. Osborn caught seven passes for 76 yards Week 1 against the Bengals and will face an Arizona secondary that allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers last season. Osborn is unquestionably the […]

Justin Jefferson Out To Deliver In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will take on a Cardinals defense that allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers last season. Jefferson totaled five catches on nine targets for 71 yards in the team's Week 1 loss to the Bengals last week. It was a quiet start for Jefferson but began to […]

Adam Thielen Will Be Red-Zone Threat

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will look to build off a very strong Week 1 performance this Sunday against the Cardinals. Thielen tallied nine receptions for 92 yards with two touchdowns in the team's overtime loss last week and continues to be an automatic red zone target for quarterback Kirk Cousins. In fact, Thielen […]

Dalvin Cook Still An RB1 Against Cardinals

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will take on a Cardinals defense that allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing runners in 2020. The Cardinals allowed only one runner to post 100-plus rushing yards against them last season but Cook is no ordinary running back. The Vikings star picked up six receptions, 104 total […]

Kirk Cousins To Face Cardinals Pass Rush

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will go up against a fierce Cardinals front seven in Week 2. Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones racked up five sacks in Week 1 and now will face a shaky Vikings offensive line. Cousins rallied last week to pass for 351 yards and two touchdowns in the team's overtime loss […]

T.J. Hockenson Should See Plenty Of Targets

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson should see plenty of targets Week 2 against the Packers. Hockenson led the team with 11 targets, racking up eight receptions for 97 yards and one touchdown in the team's Week 1 loss to the 49ers. Now he will go up against a Packers defense that was destroyed in […]

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 […]
