Matt Ryan A Low-End QB2 Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is only a low-end QB2 option in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Last week against the Eagles, Ryan struggled and only managed 164 yards total without any touchdowns or interceptions. Now without Julio Jones this season, the QB is down to Calvin Ridley and rookie Kyle Pitts as his top […]

Jordan Whitehead Expected To Play In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Whitehead missed the opener after sustaining a hamstring injury upon clearing the COVID-19 protocols during training camp but appears set to rejoin Tampa Bay's defensive backfield. The Pittsburgh product started all 16 games for the Buccaneers defense in 2020, posting career […]

It felt good to enjoy a full Sunday of NFL action and follow every player on multiple fantasy teams. But now the work begins. Thankfully there weren't many serious injuries in Week 1 but there are always holes to fill or standouts you want to get a hold of before the competition. That's where this […]

College Fantasy Football DFS Rankings: Week 3

Week three in college DFS brings us very few great actual games, but there are some tasty DFS match-ups. It will also be interesting to see how name brands USC and FSU bounce back after losses last week and changes at head coach and quarterback respectively.   CFB DFS Quarterback Rankings QB GPP Rankings  Per […]

Bryan De La Cruz Just Keeps Getting On Base

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Bryan De La Cruz just keeps on getting on base and scoring runs. On Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored, and two RBI. His hit was a solo homer in the eighth inning, giving him five home runs and 17 RBI. […]

Jesus Sanchez Homers Twice On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Jesus Sanchez hit two home runs in Wednesday's win over the Washington Nationals. Sanchez went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. Both of his homers were two-run shots, with his second one serving as the game winner. Sanchez has been on fire lately, and he's up to an .804 […]

Eagles Defense Not A Great Option In Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 despite their solid Week 1 performance. In their first game of the season, the Eagles defense only allowed six points to the Atlanta Falcons. They were able to sack Matt Ryan three times but did not record any turnovers. It seemed more […]

Jake Elliott An OK Option For Week 2 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK but thoroughly unexciting kicking option for Week 2 lineups. Elliott made a field goal and three extra points in Week 1, and as long as the Eagles offense keeps clicking, he should see plenty of chances to put points on the board. He doesn't have a big […]

49ers Pick Up Trenton Cannon Off Waivers

The San Francisco 49ers claimed running back Trenton Cannon off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. Cannon had just two carries for five yards while working behind Ty'Son Williams and Latavius Murray in Baltimore's Monday night overtime loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 49ers can use some more running back depth with Raheem […]

Zach Ertz Could Still Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz didn't do much in terms of production in Week 1, but there were some encouraging signs regardless. Ertz ran 23 receiving routes, only three fewer than starter Dallas Goedert. Granted, Goedert turned his routes into four catches and a touchdown while Ertz was only thrown to twice, but the […]

Dallas Goedert Looks To Separate In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was by far the most effective Eagles tight end in Week 1 despite a nearly even split of routes run with Zach Ertz. Goedert ran 26 receiving routes compared to Ertz's 23. Of course, Goedert was able to take five targets and turn them into four catches for 42 […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Full Go In Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) was a full go in practice on Wednesday. Aiyuk was active in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, but he played on only 47.3 percent of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted a single time. Of course, fantasy managers want to know what is going […]

Quez Watkins Not A Strong Week 2 Starter

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is not a great option in Week 2 fantasy starting lineups. Watkins clearly operated as the team's slot receiver in Week 1, seeing three targets and catching all three for 23 yards. There were some designed plays for him in the first quarter, but then he more or less […]

Jalen Reagor Looks Like A Week 2 Flex Option

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor looked better in Week 1 than he looked at almost any point in his rookie season. Reagor caught six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown, scoring on a screen play where he was able to show off the athleticism that had the Eagles draft him with their first […]

Can Robert Tonyan Return To Form In Week 2?

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will try and shake off a poor performance Week 1 against the Saints this Sunday against the Lions. Tonyan caught only two passes for eight yards last week but, to be fair, no one on the Packers experienced success. Roll the calendar forward one week and now the […]

A.J. Dillon Could Find Success As Backup

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon should see more chances for success in Week 2 against the Lions. Dillon saw only four carries for 19 yards in the team's dismal offensive effort Week 1 against the Saints. But brighter days are ahead against a Lions defense that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing […]

Aaron Jones Gets Tasty Lions Matchup

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have an excellent chance to post RB1 numbers in Week 2 against the Lions. Jones was held to 22 total yards Week 1 and saw only five carries from the backfield as the Packers were destroyed by the Saints. But the Lions defense may be the perfect […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Will Have WR4/5 Week 2 Value

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling will have an opportunity to bounce back in Week 2 against the Lions. After a fantastic training camp, Valdes-Scantling was held to three catches for 17 yards in a dismal team effort against the Saints last week. But the Packers matchup against the Lions could be just what […]

DeVonta Smith An Exciting Week 2 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is an exciting choice for fantasy lineups in Week 2. The Eagles will take on the San Francisco 49ers, who will have a much better defensive secondary than the Atlanta Falcons did in Week 1 when Smith debuted with six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. He […]

Allen Lazard Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 2

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard will try and put his Week 1 performance behind him when the team lines up against the Lions in Week 2. Lazard was held to only two catches for 16 yards against the Saints but will face a very shaky Lions secondary. The Lions surrendered 34 offensive points […]

Kyle Rudolph Is Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph will draw the start Week 2 with Evan Engram (calf) ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team. He caught two of five targets for eight yards during Sunday's 27-13 Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 31-year-old logged 47 snaps and owned 14% of […]

Davante Adams Set Up For Monster Week 2

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will have a very favorable matchup Week 2 against the Lions. Adams posted only five catches for 56 yards in Week 1 but will go up against a Lions secondary already in disarray with cornerback Jeff Okudah out for the season. The Lions allowed the third most fantasy […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is no longer fantasy relevant after the Eagles backfield usage was displayed in Week 1. Miles Sanders remained the starter and the lead back, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell served as a pass-catching and change-of-pace back. Scott was limited to a special teams role and did not even take the […]

Aaron Rodgers Primed For Bounce-Back Performance

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have the perfect opportunity to put the team's porous Week 1 behind them against the Lions in Week 2. Detroit's defense was ripped up for 41 points in Week 1 against the 49ers and prized cornerback prospect Jeff Okudah is now out for the season with a torn […]

Kenneth Gainwell Not A Starting Option Just Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was surprisingly involved more than expected in Week 1 and should continue to carve out a role in the Philly backfield in Week 2. In his first NFL game, Gainwell saw 11 touches and scored a touchdown. While he clearly worked behind starter Miles Sanders, he also banished […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was solid in Week 1, but he will face a tougher defense and possibly a less favorable game script in Week 2. In Week 1, Sanders saw 19 touches, gaining 74 yards on 15 rushes and catching four passes for 39 yards through the air. While there were some […]

Jalen Hurts Faces A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was outstanding in Week 1 but faces a tougher challenge in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Hurts was able to torch an awful Atlanta Falcons secondary for 264 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, adding 62 yards with his legs as well. While he may not see […]
