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 […]

Giovani Bernard Shouldn't Be Trusted In Lineups Yet

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard could struggle to produce in Week 2 against the Falcons. Bernard played just 26 percent of the snaps and saw three targets in Week 1 against Dallas, though it was a disappointing output for someone who drew raves in training camp for seemingly securing the third-down back role. […]

Adalberto Mondesi Isn't In The Lineup Friday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Adalberto Mondesi isn't starting on Friday. Kansas City will take on the Seattle Mariners and right-handed starter Chris Flexen but will do so with Mondesi on the bench. The infielder is hitting .266 with a .301 on-base percentage, six home runs, and nine stolen bases in 85 plate appearances this […]

Leonard Fournette The Safest Option In Tampa's Backfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will take on the Falcons in Week 2 after operating as the team's lead back in Week 1. Fournette handled 14 touches, including a whopping seven targets, turning them into 59 scrimmage yards while playing 65 percent of the offensive snaps. Even with head coach Bruce Arians expressing […]

Nelson Cruz Isn't Starting Friday

Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Nelson Cruz isn't in the lineup on Friday. The Rays will take on the Detroit Tigers and right-handed starter Casey Mize but will do so with one of their best hitters on the bench. Cruz is hitting .273 with a .343 on-base percentage, 31 home runs, and three stolen bases […]

Mike Zunino On The Bench Friday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against right-hander Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers. Zunino is batting .203 with a .291 on-base percentage and 31 home runs in 344 plate appearances this season. It'll be Francisco Mejia catching and batting ninth on Friday. Mejia is batting .251 […]

Ketel Marte Isn't In Friday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte isn't starting for a Friday matchup with the Houston Astros and right-hander Brandon Bielak. The veteran is batting .323 with a .384 on-base percentage, 12 home runs, and a stolen base in 315 plate appearances this season. He'll get the day off with Jake McCarthy hitting ninth and starting in […]

Ronald Jones II A Flex Option In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has a chance at posting solid numbers in Week 2 against Atlanta. Head coach Bruce Arians seemed to indicate that Jones would get the first crack at lead-back duties in Week 2, though the best-case scenario for him is a slight edge in the touch department over […]

Will Bryan Edwards Have An Impact In Week 2?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Bryan Edwards is looking to carry his Week 1 success into this Sunday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-round pick from the 2020 draft had a big late-game impact for Vegas against the Baltimore Ravens last week, tallying four receptions for 81 yards and almost scoring the winning touchdown […]

Gary Sanchez Isn't Starting On Friday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is on the bench for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Sanchez is batting .206 with a .311 on-base percentage and 21 home runs in 402 plate appearances this season. Kyle Higashioka will get the start instead against Cleveland's starter, right-hander Zach Plesac. Higashioka, who is hitting ninth on […]

Luke Voit On The Bench On Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit isn't in the lineup on Friday for a matchup with the Cleveland Indians and right-hander Zach Plesac. Voit is batting .246 with a .332 on-base percentage and 10 home runs in 229 plate appearances this season. Instead, Anthony Rizzo starting at first base and batting second against Cleveland […]

Tom Brady A Strong Option Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady gets a great matchup against the Falcons in Week 2. Brady did have two turnovers but otherwise put together a strong game against the Cowboys, throwing for 379 yards and four scores. The Falcons offense may not be able to keep pace with the Buccaneers, meaning less volume- though […]

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, […]
