Is Keenan Allen Hurt or Healthy? Is Keenan Allen Playing in Week 2 for Fantasy Football?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is a perennial top-15 receiver for fantasy football, who was drafted to be great again in 2022. Allen entered the season with concerns about his age and the emergence of Mike Williams. However, he came out of the gate firing on all cylinders against the Raiders before unfortunately […]

Joe Flacco To Get The Nod Again In Week 2

The New York Jets have confirmed that they will give another start to veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. The 37-year-old went 37-of-59 for 309 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in their Week 1 loss against the Ravens. His performance appears to have been good enough to earn him at least one more opportunity, although the […]

Eagles Place Derek Barnett On Injured Reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed defensive end Derek Barnett (knee) on injured reserve. The 26-year-old suffered a torn ACL in their season-opener against the Lions, ending his 2022 campaign. The Eagles' defense started well in a win over the Lions but did allow them to make a push late in the game. The Eagles are […]

Quinn Meinerz Expected To Miss Four Weeks

Denver Broncos right guard Quinn Meinerz (hamstring) exited their season opener against the Seahawks. He left with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss about four weeks, making him a candidate for the injured reserve list. The 23-year-old was off to a strong start but will likely be replaced by Graham Glasgow. The Broncos […]

Jamal Adams Suffered "Torn Quad"

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (quadriceps) was forced to exit early in Monday's matchup with the Denver Broncos. It was initially reported as a "serious" quad injury, which has since been described as a "torn quad." This certainly aligns with the initial prognosis, creating further concern about the extent of the injury. It's still unclear […]

Travis Etienne And James Robinson Split Snaps In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne and James Robinson are one of the backfield battles to monitor. In Week 1, the total snaps were nearly even with a 51-49 split in favor of the sophomore. As expected, Robinson accounted for 60% of the carries compared to 30% for Etienne, while the reverse was true of […]

George Kittle Hopeful To Practice On Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) missed Sunday's game against the Bears. The team seemed optimistic that the 28-year-old would suit up, further evidenced by head coach Kyle Shanahan's comment about his availability, "that's why he made the trip." Although he did not play in Week 1, there is hope for a Week […]

Rondale Moore Will Test Hamstring On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The extent of the injury remains unclear, however, head coach Kliff Kingsbury reported he would attempt to participate in practice on Wednesday so they can evaluate what he is able to do. Despite an underwhelming rookie season, finishing with […]

Is Sterling Shepard Healthy or Injured? Should I Start Shepard for Week 1 Fantasy Football?

New York Giants veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard was having a mediocre year in 2021, much like the other Giants receivers. Unfortunately, after only seven games played, he tore his Achilles, which ended his campaign. He has been rehabbing the injury all offseason, seeming increasingly likely to be available for Week 1. Entering the first […]

Keelan Cole Signed To Practice Squad

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Keelan Cole was surprisingly released by the team last week. However, he did not stay a free agent for long because the team signed him to their practice squad on Tuesday. The move provides the team with additional depth at the position in case an injury occurs. The 29-year-old finished […]

Shaq Mason Restructures Contract

Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard Shaq Mason has agreed to restructure his current contract with the team, creating over $6 million in cap space. The move will provide the club with added flexibility entering the season. The 29-year-old produced another reliable season in 2021, earning him a spot on the All-Pro second team. He played in […]

Drake London Trending Toward Playing In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) returned to practice on Monday and was reported on Tuesday to be trending towards playing in Week 1. The 21-year-old suffered the injury in their preseason opener and has been working his way back since. Barring any setbacks, the rookie receiver is expected to suit up against the […]

T.J. Watt Restructures Contract

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt has agreed to restructure his current contract with the team, creating $6.75 million in cap space.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Listed As Starter

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was listed as a starter on the team's depth chart. The 25-year-old was expected to move down the pecking order after the club decided to draft Treylon Burks 18th overall. However, the rookie has failed to impress the coaching staff, opening the door for the third-year pro. Robert Woods […]

Tyler Higbee Restructures Contract

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has agreed to restructure his current contract with the team. The Rams converted $4.75 million of his base salary into a signing bonus while adding three void years, creating $3.8 million in 2022 cap space. This move will provide the club with added flexibility entering the season. The […]

Justice Hill Ready To Make An Impact

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is fully recovered from an Achilles tear that caused him to miss the 2021 season. With Gus Edwards (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform List and J.K. Dobbins not yet at one hundred percent, there is an opportunity in this backfield. The Ravens signed veterans Mike Davis and […]

Jaylen Warren Steelers No. 2 Back On Depth Chart

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Jaylen Warren was listed ahead of Benny Snell Jr. as the No. 2 back on the team's newest depth chart. It is noteworthy because Snell was second ahead of Warren in the previous release. The 23-year-old has been making an impact all offseason, leaving many to wonder if he had […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~58 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~63 ANALYSIS: The Davis hype train has been steadily gaining steam all offseason and is one that I've been aboard for over a year now.
