Sean McVay To Get Allen Robinson II More Involved In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II could be set to see more targets in Week 2. When speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Rams coach Sean McVay said, "Allen is certainly somebody that needs to be more involved and get more opportunities." In the Rams' Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, the 29-year-old was […]

Braxton Berrios Limited On Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios (heel) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. In Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens, he caught five out of six targets for 37 yards. The 26-year-old is slotted in as the No. 4 wideout on New York's depth chart, and his usage was likely a product of quarterback Joe Flacco throwing […]

Mark Ingram II Limited In Wednesday’s Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Saints recently added Latavius Murray to this running back room, so Ingram's limited availability may be a reason for that. In Week 1, the 32-year-old had four carries for 22 yards, one catch for one yard, and a lost fumble. If the […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Misses Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (toe) didn't practice Wednesday. The former Dallas Cowboy was a new addition to the Dolphins' injury report and is now questionable for their Week 2 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Operating behind both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, not much is expected of Wilson statistically. But the fifth-year pro is a solid No. […]

Cam Akers Didn’t Anticipate Limited Week 1 Role

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers was apparently surprised by his limited workload in Week 1. The third-year pro had his share of doubters in the offseason, but nobody could've expected his usage to be limited to just 12 snaps, three carries, and zero yards. It appears that the 26-year-old may not only be trying to […]

The Carson Wentz Experience On Full Display In Week 1

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz went 27-for-41 for 313 yards along with four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Antonio Gibson Leads Commanders In Receiving

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson had 14 carries for 58 yards and seven receptions for 72 yards in Sunday's win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old tuned out the doubters as his 130 total yards significantly influenced Washington's first win of the season. Gibson's heavier use as a receiver could spell good things to come once Brian […]

Jahan Dotson Catches Two Touchdowns in Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught three out of five targets for 40 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie had an impressive debut as he caught Washington's second touchdown of the day in the second quarter and then caught the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The 22-year-old […]

Terry McLaurin Finds The End Zone In Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught two out of four targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fourth-year receiver was having a quiet game as he entered the fourth quarter with just one catch for nine yards. Then, to the relief of fans and fantasy managers alike, McLaurin […]

Logan Thomas Catches Three Passes In Week 1 Victory

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught three out of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 31-year-old was listed as questionable before the matchup as it was uncertain whether he'd be able to suit up following his recovery from an ACL injury last December. However, Thomas did find his way […]

Keep An Eye On Curtis Samuel In Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel is set to return to the field after an injury-riddled 2021. The 26-year-old was dealt a bad hand last season as he struggled with groin and hamstring issues for most of the year. Now that he's been declared healthy, Samuel has a shot at returning to his pre-injury form. In 2020, […]

Wait And See With Jahan Dotson In Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson is set to make his career debut on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the No. 16 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has loads of talent visible in training camp, it would be best to take a wait-and-see approach with Dotson in Week 1. Rookie wide receivers have historically […]

J.D. McKissic A Decent PPR Option In Week 1

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic could receive solid passing down usage in Week 1. The 29-year-old is locked into working as the lead receiver in Washington's backfield. While that does provide upside, he is essentially game script-dependent. That being said, there is the chance that Washington plays from behind in this matchup due to their […]

Carson Wentz Only A Desperation Play In Week 1

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is set to debut with his third team in three years on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite his past struggles, there is some belief that Wentz is the player who can take Washington's playmakers to another statistical level in 2022. The Commanders have had the misfortune of having a quarterback carousel […]

Terry McLaurin A Solid WR2 For Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is locked in to lead the team's receiving game for Week 1. The fourth-year pro is set to face a Jacksonville Jaguars pass defense that was middle of the pack in 2021. With his new passer, Carson Wentz, a new level for McLaurin could be unlocked as he's been continuously hampered throughout […]

Antonio Gibson Operating As Lead Back In Week 1

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is set to assume most of the backfield work in Week 1. Although the 24-year-old was a popular bust pick for many in the offseason, his door to production has reopened due to the unfortunate injury to teammate Brian Robinson. He was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list while recovering from surgery […]

Michael Thomas Eyeing A Return To 2019 Form

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) is aiming for a return to his record-setting form that fans saw three seasons ago. When asked if his 2019 self was still there, Thomas replied, "I'm trying to top that." The former All-Pro wideout has had his last two seasons marred by ankle injuries. Despite dealing […]

Career Year On The Way For Jared Goff?

The Detroit Lions apparently feel very good about how quarterback Jared Goff has looked in training camp this offseason.

Russell Gage On Track For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Russell Gage (hamstring) recently confirmed that he's trending toward being available for the Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Joey Slye Goe 3-For-4 On Field-Goal Attempts

Washington Commanders running back Reggie Bonnafon ran 10 times for 24 yards while tacking on two receptions for 19 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to the Ravens.

Jaret Patterson Leads Commanders In Rushing Yards

Washington Commanders running back Jaret Patterson combined for 92 total yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Ravens.

Patterson has been consistently running as the fourth man in […]

Dyami Brown Struggles With Drops In Preseason Finale

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught two of five targets for 42 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Ravens.

Armani Rogers Works As Top Tight End

Washington Commanders tight end Armani Rogers caught his lone target for 15 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke completed 9-of-12 passes for 83 yards and one touchdown with a 121.2 rating during Saturday's preseason loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cam Sims Catches Touchdown In Preseason Week Two
