Laviska Shenault Jr. A Solid Week 2 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a solid WR3/4 or flex option at home against the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Shenault had seven catches and 50 yards in Week 1 against the Texans on nine targets, though his 3.1 aDOt was extremely low. If the second-year wideout continues to operate that […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 2

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week, three first-round rookie receivers made huge marks on their games. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase, Miami's Jaylen Waddle, and Philadelphia's DeVonta Smith combined for 15 receptions, 233 […]

D.J. Chark Jr. An Intriguing Week 2 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is an intriguing Week 2 fantasy option after he caught three balls for 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 while also leading the team in targets with 12. Chark, who had a massive 16.3 aDOT in Week 1, is the clear deep threat in Jacksonville, and […]

Carlos Hyde Lacks Fantasy Appeal In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde projects as a low upside RB4 best left on fantasy benches in Week 2 in a tough matchup. Hyde out-touched James Robinson 11 to eight in Week 1, but he was out-snapped by Robinson, and lopsided game-script could have played a part in touch distribution. Hyde projects to struggle […]

James Robinson A Low Upside Week 2 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is a low-end RB3 this week at home against the Denver Broncos. Robinson was out-touched 11 to eight by Carlos Hyde in Week 1 while recording just 54 total yards against a poor Texans defense, and things will get a lot tougher this week against a stout Broncos defensive […]

Devontae Booker Logs Two Carries In Week 2

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker rushed for nine yards on two attempts while catching his only target for two yards in Thursday's 30-29 loss to the Washington Football Team.

Trevor Lawrence A Low-End QB2 Against Denver

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence projects as a low-end QB2 play in Week 2 at home against the Denver Broncos. Lawrence is best left on most benches in one quarterback formats after the rookie and the rest of his teammates struggled to get much going against a poor Texans defense in Week 1. Lawrence's talent […]

The New England Patriots signed quarterback Brian Hoyer to a one-year deal on Saturday that promotes him from the practice squad to the active roster, according to a source.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Brent Rooker went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, and two RBI in Friday's victory over the Blue Jays.
