Matt Prater A Starting Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is a solid option in Week 2 in what could be a high-scoring affair with the Las Vegas Raiders. He didn't attempt a field goal in Week 1, but that was expected when the Cardinals went down by multiple possessions early in the game. The 38-year-old was a decent option […]

Cardinals Defense Draws Another Tough Matchup In Week 2

The Arizona Cardinals defense will have their hands full once again in Week 2 as they take on Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, and company. They were shredded in Week 1 by Patrick Mahomes as they allowed 360 passing yards and five touchdowns. After what we saw in the season opener, it is hard […]

Greg Dortch Could Be A Solid Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch could have some solid upside in Week 2 after a strong performance in the season opener. The 24-year-old led the team in targets with nine, turning it into seven catches for 63 yards. With Rondale Moore (hamstring) unlikely to play again, Dortch will take on the slot receiver role […]

Marquise Brown A Solid Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown will look to build on a solid start to the season after catching a touchdown in his Cardinals debut. The former Baltimore Raven looks to be Kyler Murray's go-to target down the field, as he had 102 air yards and an average target distance of 17 yards in the […]

James Conner A High-End RB2 In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner will look to build off a solid start to the season after he totaled five receptions, 55 total yards, and a touchdown in Week 1. In a negative game script for running backs, Conner was still able to produce a solid performance for fantasy managers. His usage close to […]

Kyler Murray A Solid QB1 Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will look to lead his team to a bounce-back effort in Week 2 as they travel to Las Vegas. The dual-threat will take on the Raiders' defense that allowed 279 passing yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, so Murray is in a solid spot to put up strong fantasy […]

Vikings Defense Draws Tough Matchup In Week 2

The Minnesota Vikings defense will look to slow down the high-powered Philadelphia Eagles offense in Week 2 after holding Aaron Rodgers and company to just seven points in the season opener. Jalen Hurts led the Eagles' offense to 38 points in Week 1, so the Vikings' defense is in for a challenge as they face […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Option In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph looks like a solid starting option for fantasy managers in Week 2. Joseph was perfect in the season opener, as he converted all three of his field goal attempts and both extra points. In what could be a high-scoring matchup with two good offenses clashing, the 28-year-old should get some […]

Irv Smith Jr. A TE2 In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. will look to bounce back in Week 2 after seeing just two targets on 19 snaps in the season opener. Tight end Johnny Mundt out-snapped him, but head coach Kevin O'Connell mentioned this week that Smith Jr. would play "a major role" for the team. The 24-year-old figures […]

Adam Thielen A Bounce-Back Candidate In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will look to bounce back in Week 2 after a poor performance for fantasy managers in the season opener. Thielen was targeted just four times and caught three passes for 36 yards against the Green Bay Packers, as Justin Jefferson dominated their secondary the whole game. Thielen has been […]

Justin Jefferson A High-End WR1 In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to build on his hot start to the season after putting up nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener. Jefferson and the Vikings will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Monday night, where he could be seeing a lot […]

Dalvin Cook A High-End RB1 In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is primed for a big game on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. He faces an Eagles defense that allowed 181 rushing yards (6.5 ypc) and three rushing touchdowns to the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Cook amassed 108 scrimmage yards in the season opener but wasn't able to […]

Kirk Cousins Has QB1 Appeal In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has some streaming appeal in Week 2 as he faces off with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Cousins has been a notoriously poor performer on Monday night primetime games, but the new pass-heavy offense he operates in should set him up for fantasy success against an Eagles defense that […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint: Dameon Pierce, Brandin Cooks, James Robinson, Pat Freiermuth

Welcome to Week 2 RotoBallers! After some players sent fantasy managers into an early panic after disappointing performances in Week 1 (Najee Harris and Aaron Jones), we need to realize that it is still early and these poor performances aren't as meaningful as one may think. Heading into the second week of action, it is […]

Allen Lazard Practices Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) is practicing on Thursday ahead of the team's Sunday night matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 2.

Tee Higgins Misses Practice Due To Personal Reasons

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion, personal) was not at practice on Thursday due to personal reasons. The third-year stud entered concussion protocol following a hit to the head in the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers and was limited at practice on Wednesday. Head coach Zac Taylor mentioned that Higgins was able to […]

Jamal Adams To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (quadriceps) will undergo surgery to repair a torn quadriceps tendon, which will end his 2022 season. The 26-year-old suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos after recording three solo tackles in the game's early stages. Adams has struggled to stay healthy during his time in Seattle, as […]

Is Najee Harris Hurt or Healthy? Is Najee Harris Playing in Week 2 for Fantasy Football?

Najee Harris got off to a slow start for fantasy managers in Week 1 as he carried the ball 10 times for 23 yards and added two receptions for an additional three yards against the Bengals. A receiving touchdown somewhat salvaged his day, but the season opener was a disappointment nonetheless. Still, we shouldn't overreact […]

Should I Start CeeDee Lamb in Week 2? Lamb's Fantasy Football Outlook After Dak's Injury

CeeDee Lamb was labeled as a popular breakout candidate among consensus as he enters his third season in the NFL. With Amari Cooper no longer on the team, Lamb is now the clear WR1 in the Dallas offense and should get all the targets he can handle. The 23-year-old opened the 2022 season with a […]

Colts Waive Rodrigo Blankenship

The Indianapolis Colts have waived kicker Rodrigo Blankenship after he missed a game-winning field goal in the team's season-opening tie with the Houston Texans.

Harrison Butker Considered Day-To-Day

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) is considered day-to-day with an ankle sprain, according to head coach Andy Reid. Butker headed to the locker room in the season opener, but later returned to the game and made a 54-yard field goal. As some insurance, the team signed former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola […]

Falcons Sign Anthony Firkser To 53-Man Roster

The Atlanta Falcons have signed tight end Anthony Firkser to the 53-man roster after he was elevated from the practice squad last week. The 27-year-old caught one pass for six yards in the season opener, as he was one of three different tight ends to get a target in Week 1. Kyle Pitts will lead […]

T.J. Watt Could Be Able To Return In Six Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) suffered a torn pec muscle in the team's Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but he will not require surgery, according to Ian Rapoport. Watt did not tear the tendon, which is why there is optimism that the reigning Defensive Player of the Year could return in as […]

Patrick Mahomes A Full-Go For Thursday Night

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (wrist) is a full-go for the team's Week 2 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, according to head coach Andy Reid. Mahomes fell on his wrist early on in the season opener but was able to stay in the game on his way to 360 passing […]

Matt Prater Doesn't Attempt Field Goal In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's blowout loss.

Prater disappointed fantasy managers in this one, but to no fault of his […]

Cardinals Defense Picked Apart In Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals defense gave up 488 total yards and 44 points to Patrick Mahomes and company in a Week 1 blowout loss. They weren't able to record a single sack and forced just one turnover on a JuJu Smith-Schuster fumble. Their defensive unit doesn't look reliable moving forward as they have another matchup with […]

Zach Ertz Scores Touchdown In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz caught two passes for 14 yards and found the end zone in the team's Week 1 blowout loss. Ertz was questionable all week with a hamstring injury, so it wasn't much of a surprise he failed to produce strong yardage totals in what seemed like a solid matchup and […]

Greg Dortch Leads Cardinals In Receiving

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch caught seven passes for 63 yards to lead the Cardinals in receiving in Week 1. He had a team-high nine targets as he filled in for Rondale Moore and could continue to have a sizeable role in the offense for as long as he is sidelined. Dortch could be […]

Kyler Murray Throws For 193 Yards In Week 1 Loss

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray completed 22-of-34 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
