La'Mical Perine Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) didn't play in Week 1, but is set to make his NFL debut against the 49ers on Sunday. With Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on the injured reserve, Perine could play a small role right away as the passing-down option when veteran Frank Gore rests. In season-long leagues, Perine […]

Golden Tate Officially Active For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is officially active in Week 2, with the Giants taking on the Chicago Bears. This probably isn't the week for fantasy managers to play Tate, as he'll likely be a little limited as he works his way back. But if you need a deep league dart throw, […]

Clayton Kershaw Stellar In Saturday's Win

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw allowed one run on four hits across seven innings of work during Saturday's 6-1 win over the Colorado Rockies. He struck out six batters without issuing a walk. Kershaw is enjoying another fantastic campaign, posting a 6-2 record across nine starts. He owns a 2.15 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and […]

Ted Ginn Jr., Riley Ridley Healthy Week 2 Scratches

Chicago Bears wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Riley Ridley are healthy scratches in Week 2. The big news here is Ginn, as he played 43 percent of the team's Week 1 snaps. Ginn wasn't a factor in that game and Bears should turn to Anthony Miller more in this one, whose snap rate should […]

Dallas Won't Have Tyron Smith In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is officially inactive for the team's Week 2 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith's been an elite lineman for the Cowboys, helping to keep quarterback Dak Prescott upright and opening holes in the run game for Ezekiel Elliott. You're still starting both of those guys in season-long leagues […]

DeVante Parker Active In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) is active for Miami's Week 2 meeting with the Buffalo Bills, though that doesn't mean that fantasy managers should deploy him in their lineups. We're likely not going to see a 100 percent healthy Parker in this game, and he has a tough matchup with a really good […]

Qadree Ollison Inactive For Second Consecutive Week

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison is inactive for the team's Week 2 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. At this point, it looks like Ollison's only chance of a bigger role in Atlanta would be if injuries strike the backs ahead of him. Brian Hill and Ito Smith will serve as Todd Gurley's backups again. […]

Jalen Hurts Active In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts is active for Philly's Week 2 game against the Rams. Obviously, Carson Wentz is still the starter and won't be replaced barring injury, but this move seems to indicate that the team values the versatility that Hurts brings more than what backup Nate Sudfeld had been bringing. Hurts could […]

Courtland Sutton Will Play In Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) will play against the Steelers on Sunday, according to James Palmer of the NFL Network. Sutton sat out in Week 1. His return should boost the Broncos offense, who threw for just 216 yards in the team's opener. Sutton's probably not at 100 percent, so don't expect Sutton […]

Patriots Won't Be Reckless With Cam Newton

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton enjoyed an impressive debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, completing 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards and running for 75 yards and two scores. He looked like a threat out of the backfield again, opening up the playbook possibilities for New England in their post-Tom Brady […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not On Trading Block

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will not be traded and the team has no plans to do so in the future, according to Adam Schefter. There was speculation that Beckham was on the block after a disappointing loss to the Ravens in Week 1, though the Browns insist that this was never a […]

Bears Want To Extend Allen Robinson II

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson and the team are now focused on coming to an agreement for a contract extension. Other teams began to inquire about Robinson's availability after rumors swirled of him wanting out of Chicago, though the team rebuffed trade interest for their star wideout. Now, the two sides are focused on […]

Robinson Cano Hits Second Homer In Three Games

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano went 3-for-4, including a solo home run, in the Mets' 7-2 win over the Braves on Saturday. Cano also drove in three runs in the win, upping his RBI total on the season to 28. Cano has had a bounceback season in 2020. While he has struggled a […]

Dominic Smith Clubs Ninth Homer In Win

New York Mets outfielder/first baseman Dominic Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Mets' 7-2 win over the Braves on Saturday. Smith's homer was his ninth of the season, a break out campaign for him. He is now slashing .329/.392/.632 through 44 games (41 starts) with nine homers, 41 RBI, and a […]

Kenny Golladay Really Close To A Return

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) won't play Week 2 but is "really close" to a return, according to head coach Matt Patricia. Golladay hasn't been able to practice since injuring his hamstring prior to Week 1. Detroit's offense moved the ball well in Week 1, though they were clearly missing the presence of […]

David Peterson Strikes Out Ten Braves In Win

New York Mets left-handed pitcher David Peterson was impressive in the Mets' 7-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Peterson (5-2) went six innings and struck out a career-high ten hitters, while allowing three hits including a solo home run, and just one earned run. The only blemish on Peterson's solid performance was some […]

James Conner, Benny Snell Jr. Expected To Split Carries

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs James Conner and Benny Snell Jr. are expected to split carries moving forward. Conner left the game against the Giants early after getting injured and Snell Jr. made the most of the opportunity, posting a 100-yard day. While Conner is playing on Sunday against the Broncos, this is not an encouraging […]

Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry Should Play Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (knee) and N'Keal Harry (shoulder) should both be on the field against the Seahawks Sunday night. Both were limited all week in practice, though the team was likely being careful with two players who were a huge part of their passing game in Week 1. Edelman and Harry […]

Phillip Lindsay Out Two-To-Four Weeks

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is likely looking at a two-to-four week absence, as reported by Ian Rapoport. Lindsay sustained the injury in the first half of their Week 1 game with the Titans and he was initially listed as week-to-week. After getting a second opinion, his chances of suiting up for Week […]

Robert Quinn Likely To Take The Field Sunday

Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn (ankle) is expected to make his debut on Sunday against the New York Giants. Quinn arrived in Chicago this offseason as a big-time free agent to bookend Khalil Mack on Chicago's defensive line, though the ankle kept him from playing Week 1. If the 30-year-old plays, he and Mack […]

George Kittle Could Return For Week 3

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) won't play in Week 2 though the team believes he'll be able to suit up for their Week 3 matchup with the New York Giants. Kittle is dealing with a bone bruise and a knee sprain, injuries that had cost him two games previously in his career. […]

Vince Velasquez Earns First Win Of Season Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Vince Velasquez allowed one run in six innings to earn his first win of the season Saturday against the Blue Jays. Velasquez allowed just two hits but walked three while lowering his ERA to 5.46. While that number looks high, his peripherals are a bit better with a 4.40 FIP and […]

Golden Tate Expected To Play Against Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is expected to play against the Bears on Sunday. Tate was listed as questionable after missing Week 1 and practicing in limited fashion all week, but he is believed to be at full strength for a tilt with Chicago's defense. This defense isn't as feared as it […]

Courtland Sutton Has Good Chance To Play

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) has a good chance to play on Sunday against Pittsburgh. Sutton is dealing with an AC joint sprain, which sidelined him for Week 1. The second-year pro was limited for all three practice sessions this week, certainly an improvement from Week 1 when he wasn't able to participate […]
