Noah Fant In A Great Spot Heading Into Week 2

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant got off to a great start in the Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. The third-year tight end led the team with eight targets, catching six of them for 62 yards. The only thing Fant was missing was a touchdown. He probably would've finished at least second […]

Michael Lorenzen Picks Up Fourth Save

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Michael Lorenzen allowed one run in the ninth inning in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Lorenzen struck out one on the way to picking up his fourth save of the season. The veteran right-hander hit a batter before giving up an RBI single to Matt Beaty but […]

Luis Castillo Strikes Out 10 Dodgers

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo was excellent in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Castillo threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out 10 on the way to picking up his eighth win of the season. The veteran right-hander continues to put memories of his slow start to the season in […]

KJ Hamler To See More Playing Time

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler is set to see more playing time with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) out for the next four to six weeks with a high-ankle sprain. Hamler saw four targets and played just 36.4 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. That translated to […]

Hyun Jin Ryu Allows Five Runs In Short Outing

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu struggled in his start on Friday, allowing five runs in two innings pitched in the club's 7-3 loss to the Twins. The veteran pitched into the third frame, but after a single, double, and back-to-back homers, he was ultimately yanked without recording an out. His line finished […]

Braden Smith Won't Play In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Braden Smith (foot) has been ruled out for Week 2. He was unable to practice all week long and could be replaced at right tackle by Matt Pryor, according to the team's official depth chart. The former second-round pick logged 14 games and an 86 percent snap share in 2020. His […]

Tim Patrick Enters The Starting Lineup

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick could be the primary beneficiary of the Jerry Jeudy high-ankle sprain. Patrick was second among Denver's wideouts with a 70 percent snap percentage in the season-opening win over the New York Giants, and he hauled in all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old […]

Erik McCoy Ruled Out For Week 2

New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The 2019 second-round pick has appeared in 32 games and nearly 100 percent of snaps over the last two seasons. However, in Week 1, he was on the field for just 8.1 percent of snap before injuring himself. […]

Saints Missing Several Coaches

The New Orleans Saints will enter Week 2 against the Panthers without seven of their usual assistants. Jim Chaney, Declan Doyle , Phil Galiano, Curtis Johnson , Brendan Nugent, Dan Roushar, and Joel Thomas will all miss Sunday's contest. The group had to test negative during a short window of time in order to travel […]

Courtland Sutton Should Have Bigger Role In Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton played 80.3 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants, which was tops among the team's wideouts. That was good news in his first game back after tearing his ACL in Week 2 of last season. However, he finished with just one […]

Javonte Williams Remains In Timeshare With Melvin Gordon

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams combined with Melvin Gordon III for 159 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Unfortunately for Williams, Gordon had the better day with 101 rushing yards, including a 70-yard touchdown. Williams carried the ball 14 times (three more times than […]

Brandon Aiyuk Surprised By Week 1 Usage

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk definitely wasn't expecting the low usage that he witnessed in Week 1 when he played in 47.3 percent of snaps and did not garner a single target. When asked if he was surprised, the second-year wideout said, "Definitely, but that was last week. Not really focused on that […]

Austin Ekeler Due For More Involvement In Passing Game

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is in line to receive more work in the passing game during Week 2 against the Cowboys. Ekeler, an incredible receiving back who often dominates in PPR formats, didn't even fetch a target last week. However, Daniel Popper of The Athletic offers insight into why Week 1 was […]

Denzel Mims Could Struggle To Receive Reps

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims could have a tough time receiving reps during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Patriots, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. The potential returns of Keelan Cole Sr. and Jamison Crowder coupled with Mims' absence at OTAs and minicamp significantly factor into the amount of reps he can […]

Zane Gonzalez Should Remain On Waivers

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez shouldn't be started for fantasy this week. The 26-year-old was just claimed by the team on Tuesday after Ryan Santoso was released after Week 1. In 12 games with Arizona last season, Gonzalez went 16-for-22 in field goals and 38-for-39 in extra points. Given that this will be his first […]

Rashard Higgins Will Play More As Season Progresses

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins, who played just four snaps in Week 1, should see his role expand as the season carries on. "He was our fourth receiver going in," noted offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. "We played a lot of three receiver sets. He came in and spelled guys when the time was […]

Panthers Defense Not A Starting Option Against Saints

The Carolina Panthers defense is not a solid starting option this week as they take on a Saints team that put up 38 points on the Packers last week. Rejuvenated quarterback Jameis Winston played turnover-free ball while tossing five touchdowns in his first game as a Saint. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara racked up 83 rushing yards […]

Ravens Defense Banged Up Heading Into Week 2

The Baltimore Ravens' defense is dealing with injuries to several starters. Cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (back) and Jimmy Smith (ankle) are both questionable for Sunday. Meanwhile, defensive end Derek Wolfe (hip, back) has been ruled out. None of this is good news for the team's overall defense, which already has to face Patrick Mahomes during primetime. […]

Dan Arnold Should Remain On Bench

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold is not a starting-caliber fantasy option this week. As the new TE1 of the team, Arnold put up a miserable showing last week, getting two receptions for six yards on three targets. In addition, TE Ian Thomas also outshined him by putting up 17 yards. Both TEs are not […]

Nick Folk Set To Receive Promotion

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk is a top candidate to receive a promotion to the 53-man roster this weekend. New England placed rookie Quinn Nordin (abdomen) on injured reserve and is now left without a kicker. Folk, who was active in Week 1 while Nordin's debut was put on hold, is currently on the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Should See Large Workload In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. should continue to see a significant workload against the Colts in Week 2. While Sony Michel remains present on the depth chart, he logged just one carry last week. Henderson, meanwhile, rushed 16 times and was on the field for 94 percent of offensive snaps. Head coach […]

Peyton Barber Heading For Expanded Role

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber could see an expanded role against the Steelers in Week 2 after starter Josh Jacobs (toe, ankle) was ruled out ahead of time. While Kenyan Drake is the next man up, the growing expectation is that Barber, too, will see a significant workload. While speaking to the media […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Best Left On The Bench

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. is not a fantasy-worthy play in Week 2 against the Saints. The rookie out of LSU made his NFL debut last week and it wasn't all that memorable as he posted three receptions for 26 yards on six targets. The only encouraging thing was his number of targets, […]

Robby Anderson A Flex At Best Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson shouldn't be considered anything more than a flex play this week against New Orleans. Though the receiver posted a touchdown last week, it was his only catch of the day as he finished with one catch for 57 yards on three targets. This week, he faces a tough Saints […]

Anthony Firkser Slapped With Questionable Tag

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Firkser was limited both Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday, so he's in danger of sitting out this weekend. The 26-year-old had a higher snap percentage (48.4) than Geoff Swaim in the Week […]

D.J. Moore A WR2 Against New Orleans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a WR2 against the Saints this week. Moore managed six receptions for 80 yards on eight targets last week, which ranked second on the team behind Christian McCaffrey. As the WR1 of the team, the 24-year-old should see decent volume each week. Even though the matchup against New […]

Christian McCaffrey A Solid RB1 In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a solid RB1 this week against the Saints. McCaffrey didn't miss a beat in the season opener as he posted 21 carries for 98 rushing yards and nine receptions for 89 yards on nine targets. The Saints stifled the Packers' rush attack last week, but McCaffrey is the […]

Sam Darnold Faces Tough Matchup Against Saints

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is not a strong start this week against the Saints. The former Jet fared well against his old team last week, posting 279 yards and a touchdown. Nevertheless, this week he faces a New Orleans defense that held last year's MVP Aaron Rodgers and his team to a measly three […]

Vikings Being Cautious With Eric Kendricks

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals after being added to the injury report on Thursday. Kendricks was limited on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so he should be good to go for this Sunday. "He's good. He's all right. We're […]
