Ameer Abdullah, Sean Mannion Added To Active Roster

The Minnesota Vikings added running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Sean Mannion to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the move, Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison were the only two running backs on Minnesota's roster, so Abdullah will provide some extra depth at the position. The […]

Eagles, Jordan Mailata Agree To Four-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles and left tackle Jordan Mailata signed a four-year, $64 million contract extension on Saturday that could be worth up to $80 million. The deal also includes $40.85 million guaranteed, according to a source. Mailata is now under contract with the team through the 2025 campaign. The 24-year-old seventh-rounder in 2018 outplayed an […]

Austin Jackson Comes Off COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins activated left tackle Austin Jackson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday after he tested positive for the virus on Monday. It remains to be seen if Jackson will actually play in Week 1 against the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday, but he at least has a chance to suit up now. […]

Taylor Decker Placed On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed star left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he had finger surgery, according to a source. Decker should be back in around a month, but this is no doubt a big loss for Detroit's offensive line and for new quarterback Jared Goff. Matt Nelson will likely start […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 1

Week One can set the tone for a fantasy campaign, so it is important to be prepared right from the get-go. Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year […]

Jimmy Garoppolo A QB2 In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will kick off his fifth season with the team, as Trey Lance looms in the background. The 29-year-old has a great matchup on Sunday, as he faces the third-worst pass defense from a season ago. Although the matchup seems great on paper, the former New England Patriot is not […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Early)

Our big slate on Saturday has 12 games that DraftKings picked out for us. All are FBS vs. FBS teams, but considering Tulsa and South Florida were horrible in their openers, we've had some better FCS teams on these slates so far. That's not to say there's lack of talent or a lack of good […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Primetime)

Our Saturday prime time slate is a little bit bigger than in week 1. We don't have the top-five matchup that the opening week had, but we do have some intriguing matchups. Oklahoma and Louisville are slumming with 1-AA teams, but we could still find a decent option or two in there. I'm more interested […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Late Night)

College football addicts and DFS degenerates unite! We've got a nice five-game late night snack for you on DraftKings. It's not over until […]

Eric Fisher Ruled Out For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Eric Fisher (Achilles) has been ruled out for the regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The Colts are being cautious with their star tackle as he works his way back from an Achilles injury he sustained in the 2020 postseason. His absence from the o-line only hurts QB Carson Wentz and […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Joe Burrow Back For Sophomore Campaign Versus Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will begin his sophomore season against the visiting Vikings on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Burrow was one of the league's most impactful rookies during the 2020 campaign. However, a left knee injury suffered back in November ended his year. With his first season now behind him, the former LSU […]

Derek Carr Up Against Tough Competition In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr is set to make his 2021 debut on Monday night in a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The 30-year-old didn't play at all during the preseason but has looked strong during practices with starters and backups alike. While typically ranked as a middle-of-the-pack QB, Carr is […]

Trey Lance Good To Go Against Lions

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance (finger) is without an injury designation on the team's final injury report for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, which is an indication that he's good to go for his first NFL contest. Lance was limited in practice all week, but he should be on the active roster […]

Teddy Bridgewater Looking To Make Strong Impression In Debut

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be looking to put his best foot forward in his debut with the team in Week 1 against the New York Giants after he won the QB competition with Drew Lock in training camp and the preseason. Bridgewater has a lot of intriguing weapons in which to work with, […]

La'el Collins Suspended For Five Games

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins has been suspended five games without pay for violating the league's policy and program on substances of abuse, according to a source. While quarterback Dak Prescott had to scramble plenty of times against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers strong defensive line on Thursday night, the Cowboys offensive line did a […]

Deshaun Watson Officially Ruled Out

The Houston Texans officially ruled quarterback Deshaun Watson out for the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson was listed on the injury report as "not injury related." The 25-year-old is likely to be a healthy scratch for the foreseeable future as the legal process plays out surrounding his 22 lawsuits for alleged sexual […]

Evan Engram Out Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) will be held out of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Engram has missed practice time leading up to the season opener, so it is not surprising he will be inactive on Sunday. Kyle Rudolph could be the biggest beneficiary of Engram's absence, as he can potentially […]

Anthony Barr, Christian Darrisaw Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw (groin) have been ruled out for the Week 1 season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Barr has been bothered by a knee injury since early last month, and he played in just two games last year due to a torn pectoral muscle. The 29-year-old made […]

Carson Wentz Will Start Against Seahawks

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will start on Sunday in the Week 1 season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Wentz has been practicing in full this week, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he will start in his first game in a Colts uniform to kick […]

Taylor Decker Looks Set To Miss Week 1

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) looks set to miss the regular season opener on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering a finger injury that kept him out of practice on Thursday. Matt Nelson, who is a converted defensive lineman and the only backup tackle on the team's active roster, is expected […]

Nick Boyle Placed On Short-Term IR

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle (knee) will go on short-term injured reserve, according to head coach John Harbaugh. This means Boyle will be held out of action for a minimum of three weeks and can return in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Boyle is more of a blocking tight end, so the Baltimore […]

Jamison Crowder Out Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) will be held out of the season opener against the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The absence of Crowder means that Corey Davis and rookie Elijah Moore could see an increase in targets as Zach Wilson has built a connection with the two of […]

Emmanuel Sanders Questionable For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is questionable for the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. If Sanders isn't able to suit up in Week 1, this potentially gives Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis more promising outlooks. Beasley and Davis could potentially be on the FLEX […]

You have questions and that's only natural. Inquiring minds want to know what the upcoming football season has in store. There won't be as much uncertainty surrounding the 2021 NFL season as there was in 2020 but there are always questions burning in the back of our minds. Fantasy football is filled with even more […]

Dak Prescott Throws For Over 400 Yards In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an excellent Week 1 performance against the defending champion Tampa Bay Bucs. Despite ultimately ending in a loss, Prescott was simply incredible and showed no signs of the injury that slowed him down and forced him to miss all of the preseason. Dak completed 42 of his 58 pass […]
