Christian McCaffrey "A Full Go" To Start The Season

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a full go to start the season. McCaffrey missed 13 games last year due to injuries but is "full speed and ready to go physically and mentally," per head coach Matt Rhule. That's not particularly surprising, as the Panthers had said that the star halfback would handle a […]

Antonio Brown A Full Participant Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Brown logged a full session on Monday before sitting out Tuesday's practice, which led to some speculation that perhaps he had tweaked his knee- though his return to a full practice workload confirms the sentiment that Tuesday was a veteran's […]

James Robinson A Strong Week 1 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson faces off against a Texans team in Week 1 that allowed a whopping 32.8 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2020, good for worst in the NFL. The Texans regressed as a defensive unit on paper, so it's doubtful that they will put up much resistance […]

Evan Engram Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that tight end Evan Engram (calf) will not practice on Wednesday. Engram will work with the team's training staff, and the team will revisit on Thursday. The 27-year-old has all the potential in the world, but he continues to be a frustrating fantasy asset because of injuries, […]

Chris Godwin Not On Final Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (quadriceps) practiced in full on Wednesday and was removed from the final injury report for the season-opener on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Godwin was listed as limited on Tuesday, but the injury obviously isn't serious, and he'll be out there to kick off the 2021 season. […]

Can Packers Defense Create Week 1 Turnovers?

The Green Bay Packers defense will take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The Packers defense finished off last season playing excellent football, allowing only three passing touchdowns with four interceptions over their final six games. The Saints were very strong last season in regards to limiting turnovers and dishing out fantasy points […]

Trevor Lawrence Starts Season With Ideal Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars star rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence lines up to face the Houston Texans in Week 1, and it's hard to imagine a better matchup, as the Texans have the NFL's lowest projected win total. The Texans allowed the fourth-most points to opposing signal-callers in 2020, and they project to regress even further as a […]

Brent Rooker Swats Seventh Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder Brent Rooker went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Tuesday's defeat of the Indians. Rooker extended the Twins lead to 2-0 with his seventh homer of the year in the seventh inning, a 421-foot blast that left his bat at 104.1 MPH. The 26-year-old is off to a strong start in September, […]

Vikings D Has Opportunity Week 1

The Minnesota Vikings defense will try and start the season on the right track in Week 1 against the Bengals. The Vikings defense has been in flux the past few seasons but went out in the offseason beefed up the talent on each level. They will get a juicy Week 1 matchup against a Bengals […]

Kenny Golladay Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) was able to take part in individual drills at practice on Wednesday. The former Detroit Lions wideout returned to practice last week after missing most of training camp and all of the preseason with a hamstring strain. Unless he suffers a setback this week, all signs are […]

Lions Defense Not Worth A Play

The Detroit Lions defense will kick off its season against the 49ers in Week 1. The Lions are basically starting from scratch under new head coach Dan Campbell and the defense will be a work-in-progress all season. The Lions are excited about the prospects of their front-seven but the defense surrendered 38 passing touchdowns last […]

John Gant Strikes Out Season-High Seven Batters

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher John Gant produced one of his better starts of the season in Tuesday's win over the Indians. Gant struck out a season-high seven batters over five shutout innings, walking four while allowing three hits. The 29-year-old generated 12 swinging strikes, including eight of them on his changeup, which has been by […]

Kadarius Toney On The Practice Field Wednesday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was on the practice field on Wednesday. COVID-19 and a hamstring injury kept Toney sidelined for the entire preseason, so fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't be expecting a whole lot from the rookie out of the gates. Toney, the 20th overall pick in this year's […]

Can Bears Defense Return To Form?

The Chicago Bears defense will have its hands full in Week 1 against the Rams in their brand new Sofi Stadium. The Bears defense was fantasy elite in 2018 but slowly have dipped in the rankings in each proceeding year. Now they will face a Rams offense that gave them issues last season, even with […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire 100 Percent Healthy And Ready To Go

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle), who dealt with an ankle injury last month, said he's "100 percent" healthy and "ready to go" for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Edwards-Helaire should be good to go as the leader of Kansas City's backfield in the season-opener ahead of backups Darrel Williams […]

Star Lotulelei Not A Sure Thing For Week 1

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (calf) missed his second straight day of practice on Wednesday with a calf injury. The Bills remain optimistic that Lotulelei will be available for the season opener on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we'd call him questionable for now. He'll likely need to get in some sort of […]

Carson Wentz Practicing In Full, Will Be Ready For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will be a full practice participant on Wednesday, according to head coach Frank Reich. Wentz will be on the field in Week 1 for his Colts debut against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old quarterback was a franchise signal-caller in Philadelphia, but things went sour in 2020 and he was […]

J.D. McKissic Not A Starting Option In Week 1

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic was one of the best pass-catching running backs in all of the NFL last year after recording 80 receptions (110 targets) while serving as the primary third-down back. Antonio Gibson is primed for a larger workload as a sophomore, so McKissic's outlook is not nearly as promising this […]

Dyami Brown “A Big Play Waiting To Happen”

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown continues to generate buzz from the coaching staff and his teammates ahead of the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. The former North Carolina standout was described as a "big play waiting to happen," according to head coach Ron Rivera. With Curtis Samuel (groin) still not 100% […]

Vikings Sign Brian O’Neill To Five-Year Extension

Minnesota Vikings right tackle Brian O'Neill has signed a five-year extension worth $92.5 million, making him the second-highest paid player at the position in the NFL. The former second-round pick has played in 46 games with the Vikings and is viewed by many as the best offensive lineman on the team. In 2020, he played […]

Josh Lowe Gets The Call Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Josh Lowe has been called up to the majors on Wednesday. Lowe is the fourth-ranked prospect in the Rays system, according to MLB.com. He has the speed-power combination that makes players so valuable in fantasy baseball, smashing 21 HRs and stealing 24 bases in 98 Triple-A games this year. He […]

Ravens Sign Trenton Cannon To 53-Man Roster

The Baltimore Ravens have signed running back Trenton Cannon to their active roster after losing J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) to season-ending injuries. Cannon was signed to the 53-man roster because of his ability to play on special teams, which is a role that needed to be filled after the loss of Hill. […]

Alex Bregman Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is absent from Wednesday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com. Marwin Gonzalez will play third and bat eighth in his spot. It's just a breather for Bregman, who's started at third base five consecutive days. He's having a productive yet unspectacular year at the plate, slashing .288/.369/.435 […]

Dakota Hudson Completes Third Rehab Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson (elbow) threw 46 pitches in a four-inning rehab start on Tuesday, walking two and striking out one. It was his third rehab start thus far, and the team wants him to appear in at least two more, according to Derrick S. Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Hudson […]

Buster Posey Takes A Seat Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game to take on the Colorado Rockies, according to MLB.com.

He was placed on the IL on September 1 with right forearm tightness and missed just one start. Gray's having a bit of a bounceback season on the mound, pitching to a 4.13 ERA with a […]

Chi Chi Gonzalez Headed To Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain, the team announced. Gonzalez is having a miserable season, so this news shouldn't affect many fantasy leagues. He's sporting a 6.50 ERA with just a 12.5 K% and 18 HRs allowed over 99.2 […]
