Patrick Mahomes Should Face Tougher Challenge in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was absolutely fantastic during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. He threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns without a single interception. However, the Steelers defense held the Browns to 150 passing yards in Week 1. To be fair, the Browns aren't known for their great offense, but […]

Robert Griffin III Inactive In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Bengals on Thursday. RG3 was also a healthy scratch in the season opener. Athletic rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson remains the direct backup to Joe Flacco, and he'll likely have some packages to work with again on […]

Anthony Castonzo Out Thursday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. That is not good news as Castonzo attempts to make his season debut in Week 2 against the Redskins. It'd also be bad news for quarterback Andrew Luck if his blind-side protector is out for the second straight […]

Jack Conklin, Taylor Lewan Miss Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans offensive tackles Jack Conklin (knee) and Taylor Lewan (concussion) both missed practice on Thursday. Conklin was limited on Wednesday, so this isn't a good sign for his status heading into Week 2 against the Texans. The Titans offensive line is in bad shape if they miss their left and right tackles this weekend. […]

Ben Roethlisberger Misses Another Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) missed his second straight practice on Thursday and is unsure if he will practice on Friday. Offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner is hopeful that backup Joshua Dobbs would be ready to go if needed for Week 2 against the Chiefs. Big Ben said he'd be fine to play this weekend […]

Mitch Trubisky Still In Prove-It Mode

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will get an opportunity to put a full game together when the Bears take on the Seahawks Monday night. Trubisky looked fantastic in the first half against the Packers in Week 1 but conservative play-calling and indecisiveness led to a fantasy dud in the second half. The second-year quarterback has […]

Mitch Trubisky Working On Pocket Awareness

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky said a point of emphasis for him moving forward will be his pocket awareness, calm feet in the pocket and trusting his eyes. Trubisky wasn't very good in Week 1 against the Packers, going 23-for-35 for just 171 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. However, he did run seven times […]

Joe Flacco Finally Healthy And It Is Making A Difference

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is 100 percent healthy for the first time in three seasons, and it showed in Week 1. Against Buffalo in the season opener, Flacco looked more decisive, mobile and accurate than he has in a long time. He picked the Bills defense apart as he completed 25 of his 34 […]

Sam Bradford Hopes To Rebound In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will hope for a rebound performance in his team's second game of the season. However, facing a formidable Rams defense, it may be difficult to generate a significant stat-line on the night. Therefore, Bradford should be considered a low-end QB2 for Week 2 in what should definitely be a tough […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will only continue to get better as he further adjusts to the offense with each passing week. In Week 2, he'll take on a youthful Green Bay Packers secondary that is coming off of a stingy performance against the Chicago Bears. With that being said, Minnesota's Week 1 opponent, the […]

Aaron Rodgers Sitting Out Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with the rehab group again on Thursday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Rodgers will try to do more Thursday. “I’m sure he’s sore today. This is no layup. That’s why it’s a day to day situation," McCarthy said. Rodgers won't need a full practice in […]

Andy Dalton Looks To Duplicate Week 1 Efficiency

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was one of the league's most efficient quarterbacks in Week 1. Dalton went 21-for-28 through the air against the Indianapolis Colts, finishing the day passing for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Though he threw an interception, he ended up with a respectable 109.7 Passer Rating. Dalton and company will host […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Primed to Bounce Back in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will look to bounce back at home against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. The 26-year-old is coming off of a poor performance, in which he threw three interceptions and managed just nine fantasy points. Even though Marquise Goodwin is questionable to play on Sunday, Garoppolo should have an […]

Volume Makes Andrew Luck a Solid Start in Week 2

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck made a glorious return to action against the Cincinnati Bengals, completing 39 passes for 319 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He will look to continue to build on that success against the Washington Redskins, a team that managed to shut down the Arizona Cardinals' passing attack last week. Luckily […]

Aaron Rodgers Says He Has Sprained Knee

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) said he has a sprained knee and that it has been "pretty sore the last three days." He didn't practice on Wednesday and isn't committing to playing in Week 2 against the Vikings, but he did say he wouldn't need any practice time in order to play. "I […]

Matthew Stafford, LeGarrette Blount Practicing In Full

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (shin) and running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) both practiced in full on Wednesday. Stafford had a nightmare game in Week 1 against the Jets last Monday, throwing for 287 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He was also beat up and didn't get any help from his porous offensive line. […]

Dak Prescott Has Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) practiced in full on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like his injury is serious, but it's something to keep an eye on heading into Week 2 against the Giants on Sunday night. Prescott's limited weapons in the passing game showed up in the season opener, as he threw for only […]

Tom Brady To Face Tough Road Test In Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will face his first test of the season, taking on a tough Jaguars defense in Jacksonville for Week 2. The Jaguars have to be thirsty for revenge after Brady and Co. edged Jacksonville 24-20 in the 2017 AFC Championship Game. Brady completed 26 of 38 passes in that game […]

Carson Wentz, Darren Sproles Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) and wide receiver Shelton Gibson (knee) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Wentz will sit out another week in favor of Nick Foles. Sproles should be fine to play in Week 2 against the Buccaneers, but he's nothing more than a flex play […]

Matt Barkley Released With Injury Settlement

The Cincinnati Bengals released quarterback Matt Barkley (knee) from the Injured Reserve with an injury settlement on Wednesday. Jeff Driskel will move forward as the main backup to Andy Dalton. The Bengals are set to face the Ravens in Week 2 on Thursday night.

Taylor Lewan Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday and was sent home and told to rest by the medical staff. That's not a good sign for the team's top offensive lineman heading into a matchup against a Texans team with a strong pass rush. Quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is also dealing […]

Cam Newton Continues Tough Matchups

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton continues his tough opening schedule on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. In Newton's opening game he was held to just 161 yards against the Dallas Cowboys, with the majority of his fantasy production coming from his 58 yards and touchdown on the ground. The Falcons defense may be missing […]

Dak Prescott Not a Good Option in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a good fantasy option in a Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants. In what is expected to be a low-scoring game, Prescott isn't likely to do enough to even produce QB2 value. Prescott has been in the bottom half of QB fantasy scoring in nine of […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor is a top add of the week regardless of format. Taylor always got the short end of the stick in Buffalo from both a real-life perspective as well as fantasy. Yet he puts up solid production off the […]

Nick Foles Not a Good Option Despite a Good Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is not a recommended fantasy option this weekend despite facing off against the Tampa Bay defense. It's a good matchup on paper, but Foles is coming off a 117 yard performance in Week 1 and while he should do better in Week 2, it's unlikely to be good enough to […]

Josh Allen Officially Named As Buffalo's Week 2 Starter

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen has officially been named as the team’s Week 2 starter by head coach Sean McDermott. The phrase "It's the right move," was repeated multiple times by McDermott when he confirmed earlier reports regarding Allen’s ascension into the starting role. Allen accrued 74 yards on six […]

Ben Roethlisberger Says He's Fine

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) said his elbow is just bruised and that he will be fine for Week 2 against the Chiefs. He would neither confirm nor deny that he underwent an MRI exam but said he plans on playing this weekend. Big Ben is as tough as they come, so we doubt […]

Aaron Rodgers To Work With Rehabbing Players

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with other rehabbing players on Wednesday at practice. McCarthy emphasized that Rodgers hasn't had a setback and he remains day-to-day. McCarthy still won't say one way or another if Rodgers will suit up this week, but we'd be pretty […]
