Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 2 - Searching For League Winners

Rookies offer league-winning cheat codes quite often in fantasy football. It's possible to get players that are relatively unknown but go on to have massive, league-winning seasons for very cheap (like late-round draft picks or trading far inferior players), and being early on rookies can get your team over the hump and the championship. Just […]

Joe Burrow - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB17 ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, but a tough matchup combined with a lack of cohesion for the Cincinnati Bengals early in the season makes him a sub-optimal choice at starting QB in Week 2. The Bengals […]

Justin Fields Expected To Start Through Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is in line to start this Sunday against the Denver Broncos, and the team is also preparing for him to start in Week 3, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Fields has been the Steelers' primary quarterback lately with Russell Wilson (calf) nursing an injury. Fields didn't score […]

Jacoby Brissett Still Off Fantasy Radar For Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett is one week removed from leading his team to a big upset victory on the road. Even after the Patriots' impressive win, Brissett is not a reliable option in fantasy football heading into Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. New England won last game largely thanks to its defense, […]

DraftKings Late Night CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/14/24)

The late-night DraftKings slates are going to look a little different this year and not always in a good way. Many West Coast teams are playing in different time zones. Even though the Big 12 (14) has made a conscious effort to take over the "after-dark" football games, there are going to be some slow […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/14/24)

We have another dozen games in the main tournament on DraftKings today.

Daniel Jones Looking To Bounce Back In Week 2 Vs. The Commanders

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones faces an intriguing Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders. While Jones struggled in Week 1, scoring just 5.3 fantasy points against the Minnesota Vikings, the Commanders' secondary allowed 289 passing yards in their opener. Jones has a 5-1-1 record in seven career starts and ten total touchdown passes […]

Caleb Williams A High-Risk Play For Week 2

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams presents a high-risk, high-reward option as he faces off against the high-scoring Houston Texans. Williams aims to bounce back from a rough Week 1, where he completed just 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards and failed to throw a touchdown. His average depth of target was […]

Brock Purdy Looks For Touchdown No. 1 In Minnesota

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will try to pick up a second-straight win in a Week 2 matchup versus the Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday. He'll be going up against a defense that was almost exactly league-average in 2023 for fantasy points per game allowed to opposing quarterbacks, but who held Purdy to 272 […]

Justin Fields A High-End QB2 In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is set to make a second consecutive start in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Fields was not asked to do much in last week's season opener but looked solid, completing nearly 74% of his passes. Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith finished as the QB7 in Week 1 against the Broncos, […]

Aaron Rodgers A Mid-Range QB2 In Week 2

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 167 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran signal-caller will look for more in a Week 2 road showdown against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's defense allowed the 19th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2023 and […]

Bo Nix Facing Another Stiff Defense In Second Career Start

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix was a little wobbly, as expected, in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on the road, but head coach Sean Payton mostly thinks that the team's offensive weapons need to step up around Nix. The 24-year-old Oregon product finished 26-for-42 for 138 yards and two interceptions while […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 2 (Friday Updates): Christian McCaffrey, A.J. Brown, Kenneth Walker III, Jordan Love, more

Some key players are already considered unlikely to play two days from gameday, while others are still on the fence. Our injury updates and reports for Week 2 as of Friday, September 13, 2024, will […]

Sam Darnold Likely To Disappoint In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold surprised many fantasy managers by finishing as the 13th overall QB in Week 1 against the New York Giants and was a hair away from finishing in the top 10 in the position. However, Darnold and the Vikings will face much tougher competition in Week 2 as the San Francisco […]

Deshaun Watson A Low-End QB2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson turned in a disappointing outing in a Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran signal-caller will look to bounce back in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Jacksonville's defense struggled to contain opposing quarterbacks in 2023, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to […]

Jalen Hurts Remains Top-Five Option Heading Into Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Atlanta Falcons in the team's first true home game on Monday night. The 26-year-old had a rough start to the game last weekend, but after a handful of stagnant drives that were highlighted by a few turnovers, Hurts was able to turn things around and finish with […]

Geno Smith A Mid- To Low-End QB2 In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is in store for his usual 15-20 fantasy points in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. Smith only threw for 171 yards in Week 1. He salvaged his fantasy day with a 34-yard touchdown run. The good news is that once Smith settled into offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb's offense, […]

Matthew Stafford In Line For Another Good Week

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was one of just two quarterbacks in the NFL to surpass 300 yards passing in Week 1. Stafford did so against the Lions, going 34-of-49 passing for 317 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception. The first thing that stands out about Stafford's Week 1 line is his […]

Dolphins Not Putting A Timeline On Tua Tagovailoa's Recovery

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Friday that he's not putting a timeline on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) recovery after he suffered another scary concussion in Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills. McDaniel said he has "zero idea" what any timeline might be and doesn't want to put pressure on Tagovailoa. […]

Malik Willis The Likely Starter In Week 2 Against Colts

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis will be the team's starting quarterback until Jordan Love (knee) can return from an MCL sprain he suffered at the end of the game in Week 1. However, the team has left the door open a crack as Love was designated as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis […]

Justin Fields - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: While Russell Wilson (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, the Steelers have been preparing all week as if Justin Fields will be the starter this weekend. If that winds up being the case, fantasy managers should try to get […]

Will Levis Not A Fantasy Option Vs. Jets

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis faces the New York Jets in the team's home opener on Sunday. Week 1 was quite a struggle for Levis, who only threw for 127 yards and virtually gave the game away with two fourth quarter interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. While the Bears defense is […]

Lamar Jackson A Must-Start Against Raiders

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted a QB1-worthy performance on the opening night of the NFL's regular season and he'll aim to be even better in the team's first home game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The two-time MVP will get plenty of running opportunities on top of a bit of an easier matchup to […]

Patrick Mahomes Aiming For 2-0 Start

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday. Mahomes took home last week's victory against the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener. The Chiefs quarterback passed for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the 27-20 win. Mahomes was incredibly efficient, […]

Jordan Love Questionable To Play In Week 2

The Green Bay Packers are officially listing quarterback Jordan Love (knee) as questionable to play in Week 2 at Lambeau Field on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts despite suffering a knee injury in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil last Friday. Love didn't practice all week after suffering an MCL sprain […]

Russell Wilson Listed As Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he will list quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for the Week 2 game in Denver against the Broncos. Wilson has been practicing on a limited basis this week, but all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game to begin his tenure in Pittsburgh […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 2 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started the season off with a dominating 37-20 win against the Washington Commanders. In Week 1, the Oklahoma product arguably played the best among all the quarterbacks. Mayfield was the second-highest-scoring quarterback in PPR leagues in Week 1 […]

Kyler Murray "All Good" To Play In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that the knee is not a concern for quarterback Kyler Murray (knee), calling him "all good" for the Week 2 contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Murray found himself on the Cardinals' Week 2 injury report but has practiced in full all week and is not in […]
