Logan Thomas - Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 1
Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert is an uninspiring play in fantasy football, as the Detroit offense isn't expecting to be a high-scoring unit, and Detroit was a bottom-10 team in field goal attempts a season ago. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell is as aggressive as NFL coaches come, as the Lions led the NFL with... Read More
Lions Defense Not On Fantasy Radar
The Detroit Lions defense ranked dead-last in fantasy points per game last season (3.4) and is matched up with a loaded Philadelphia Eagles offense in Week 1. Additionally, the Eagles allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to D/STs last year. Detroit looks to be a much-improved team, but the defense is still expected to be a... Read More
Allen Lazard Doubtful For Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. After not practicing Thursday and Friday, this comes as no surprise that Lazard will likely be held out of action in the season opener. If he is by some chance able to... Read More
T.J. Hockenson In Line For Large Role
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson missed the last few weeks of the 2021 regular season with a thumb injury but is expected to return to a large role in the Jared Goff-led offense. Hockenson posted a 21-percent target share last season and was the team's de facto No. 1 option before the breakout of... Read More
Cardinals Sign Markus Golden To One-Year Extension
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Golden has signed a one-year extension worth up to $6.5 million dollars that will keep him under contract through the 2023 season. With the loss of Chandler Jones in the offseason, the Cardinals will rely heavily on Golden, who finished with 11 sacks and 48 tackles (33 solo) last season. The... Read More
Josh Reynolds Listed As Starter For Detroit
Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds will be starting in three-wide sets, so he's worth paying attention to in the early part of the season. Jameson Williams will likely take his spot on the field when he returns from a knee injury, but Reynolds has some worth for now. That said, he looks to be... Read More
Shaquille Leonard Ruled Out Week 1
Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) has been ruled out for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Houston Texans. Despite being listed as a full participant at practice on Wednesday, the All-Pro will need to wait until at least Week 2 against the Jaguars to make his season debut. Leonard underwent offseason back surgery... Read More
D.J. Chark An Intriguing Deep-League Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark played in just four games last year for the Jaguars after breaking his ankle but looks to be ready to go for Week 1. Chark is an explosive deep-threat who could be considered a boom-or-bust fantasy play in 2022. He's reportedly built strong chemistry with Jared Goff, so he... Read More
Greedy Williams Headed To Injured Reserve
Cleveland Browns cornerback Greedy Williams (hamstring) has been placed on the Injured Reserve list and will miss a minimum of four games. Following Williams' move to IR, the team signed cornerback Herb Miller off the practice squad to the active roster on Friday. Williams played in 16 games during the 2021 season, putting up 40... Read More
Amon-Ra St. Brown A Solid Flex Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown posted a fantastic rookie season with 90 receptions, 912 yards, and five touchdowns last year. However, he did most of his damage when D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson were banged up or out of the lineup, so regression could be coming. For now, he's still worth starting thanks... Read More
Christian McCaffrey Off The Week 1 Injury Report
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shin) is off the injury report and is good to go for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. McCaffrey suffered a laceration from a cleat in practice and popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday, but was a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers... Read More
Jamaal Williams A Deep-League Flex Option
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams doesn't warrant consideration in shallow leagues, but for fantasy managers in a pinch at flex in deep leagues, he might be a solid option. D'Andre Swift is expected to be the lead back in the Lions offense, with Williams potentially getting some work in the red zone. His PPR... Read More
D'Andre Swift A Must-Start In Season Opener
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been a hot name in fantasy football during the offseason and is poised for a breakout year as a top pass-catching back. The Eagles' front-seven looks strong on paper, but Swift should be viewed as an automatic starter in PPR leagues, regardless of matchup. Swift saw an 18.4-percent... Read More
Rondale Moore Has 50-50 Chance To Play In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) has a 50-50 chance to play on Sunday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Moore apparently suffered the injury running in practice, but there is still optimism he will be able to suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs. The speedy wideout offers some upside as a flex... Read More
Jared Goff A Low-End QB2 In Week 1
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a handful of strong performances in 2021, but he's still not viewed as an every-week starter in fantasy football. The Lions added D.J. Chark and get T.J. Hockenson back from injury, but until the offense shows promise, it's tough to trust its passing game. The Eagles allowed the 9th-most... Read More
Drake London's Status Still Uncertain
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has an uncertain status leading up to the team's Week 1 matchup with the New Orleans Saints, as head coach Arthur Smith says a decision on the rookie's status won't be made until after a workout on Saturday. London suffered his knee injury in the preseason opener so... Read More
Diontae Johnson Will Play In Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (shoulder) says he is good to go for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old was a full participant in practice on Friday but mentioned he will have to deal with some pain tolerance moving forward. After averaging a whopping 10.6 targets per game in... Read More
Titans Defense A Strong Week 1 Streamer
The Tennessee Titans defense opens up the season with a favorable matchup against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants. Last season, the Giants gave up the third-most fantasy points to D/STs, and led the league with 30 giveaways. Daniel Jones has 49 career turnovers in just 38 games, so Kevin Byard and company will... Read More
Andy Isabella Could Be Deep-League Streaming Option Week 1
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella could have some appeal in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rondale Moore (hamstring) will be held out of action, so that could open the door for Isabella to slot in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver option behind Marquise Brown and A.J. Green. The speedy... Read More
Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 1
Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock played well enough to be re-signed by the team this offseason, but his fantasy upside is capped by an offense that isn't projected to be a high-scoring unit. Kickers always have wide a range of outcomes, but this game against the New York Giants does not set up to be... Read More
Austin Hooper Not An Attractive Week 1 Streamer
Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper might have touchdown upside in an offense with a lot of uncertainty at wide receiver, but he's not viewed as a strong option in Week 1. The volume is not likely to be there for Hooper and the New York Giants gave up the 10th-fewest fantasy points to the... Read More
Treylon Burks Has A Low Floor In Season Opener
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks will eventually get opportunities to be fantasy-relevant in his rookie season, but he's far from a sure thing in his NFL debut. After an up-and-down preseason, Burks is listed as a backup on the Titans' depth chart, but he will at least be on the field in three-wide sets.... Read More
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A Deep-League Option In Week 1
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is listed as the starting wide receiver opposite of Robert Woods for Week 1 against the Giants. However, Tennessee has been one of the most run-heavy teams over the last three seasons and is expected to do the same in 2022. Westbrook-Ikhine will likely draw career-high targets this season,... Read More
Texans Defense Not On Fantasy Radar
The Houston Texans defense ranked 22nd in both passing and rushing DVOA last season and faces a tough task in Week 1 this season against the Colts. The last time these teams met, the Colts won 31-0, with Taylor rushing for 143 yards and two touchdowns. With an improved passing game this year led by... Read More
Ka'imi Fairbairn Has Little Upside In Week 1
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is unlikely to have much fantasy impact in 2022, mainly because the Houston offense doesn't project to move the ball well enough for Fairbairn to get opportunities. Last season, Fairbairn attempted just 19 field goals and 16 extra points. He made a career-low 78.9% of his field goal attempts and... Read More
Derrick Henry Poised For Big Day
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has been a polarizing player in preseason drafts, but he's back to automatic starter status in 2022. After breaking his foot last season, he was disappointing in the AFC divisional game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, preseason reports have been positive, and he'll likely handle a large workload from... Read More
Brevin Jordan Not On Week 1 Fantasy Radar
Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan has a lot of athletic upside, but that doesn't mean fantasy managers should be looking at him as an option this week. While he's the biggest name when it comes to Texans tight ends, Pharaoh Brown and O.J. Howard are on the team as well, and we won't really... Read More
Nico Collins A Risky Week 1 Play
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was a popular sleeper this offseason and showed some nice rapport in the preseason with quarterback Davis Mills. However, this doesn't mean that fantasy managers should fire him up for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Collins could very well end up being a valuable fantasy play... Read More
Ryan Tannehill A Risky Starter In Week 1
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a wide range of outcomes as the Titans host the Giants in Week 1. Tannehill lost A.J. Brown and Julio Jones in the offseason and welcomes Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, and Austin Hooper to his offense. The pass-catchers in place all have upside, but it might take time for... Read More
Brandin Cooks Opens 2022 As Texans Best Fantasy Play
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is arguably the only Texans player who fantasy managers can trust heading into the 2022 season. The Colts have a much better run defense than pass defense, so expect Houston to go to the air often, with Cooks expected to be the beneficiary of that. Last season, he was... Read More
