Ian Thomas - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas operated as the team's TE1 last week and will go on the road to face the New York Giants in Week 2. Thomas was only targeted three times in Week 1, but turned one of his two receptions into a 50-yard gain and was brought down just shy of... Read More
Robbie Anderson A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Play In Week 2
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson was surprisingly the best fantasy option on the team in Week 1 and will look to continue his hot start in an away matchup against the New York Giants. Anderson's performance last week can mostly be attributed to one big play, a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield.... Read More
DJ Moore - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore had a disappointing Week 1 and will look to get back on track on the road against the New York Giants in Week 2. There will surely be a handful of down weeks from Moore this season as the Panthers' offense led by Baker Mayfield is not expected to... Read More
Christian McCaffrey Should Bounce Back In Week 2
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey found the end zone in Week 1 but did not have the monstrous fantasy performance that we've come to expect from him when healthy. He has a great opportunity to get things going in Week 2 against the New York Giants, who allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing... Read More
Baker Mayfield - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will look to improve on his lackluster Week 1 performance in a Week 2 away bout with the New York Giants. Emotions surely had an impact on Mayfield in his Panthers debut as he played his former team, the Cleveland Browns, but he wasn't bad for fantasy. Perhaps he will... Read More
Texans Defense Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
The Houston Texans defense faces a tough test in Week 2 as the team goes on the road to face the Denver Broncos. With Russell Wilson quarterbacking the Broncos and the Texans defense allowing 340 passing yards last week, there's not a lot of upside with this defense for fantasy purposes. There will be times... Read More
Ka'imi Fairbairn's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect from the field in Week 1, making both of his extra points and both of his field goal attempts. Despite that, Fairbairn ranks fairly low when talking about kickers for Week 2, mainly because this Texans offense isn't good enough to put Fairbairn in position to make many... Read More
O.J. Howard's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard caught a pair of touchdowns last week against the Colts, but he was also only targeted on those two plays the entire game. Heading into Week 2 against the Broncos, Howard is an enticing fantasy option, but the lack of usage outside of those touchdowns last week is worrisome.... Read More
Nico Collins' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted three times in Week 1, catching two passes for 26 yards. His lack of usage makes him a risky fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 2 meeting with the Denver Broncos. Brandin Cooks was the team's clear No. 1 receiver last week, while Collins and Chris Moore... Read More
Brandin Cooks' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks appears to be the only consistent fantasy threat on the Texans roster heading into Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Last week, Cooks was targeted 12 times, catching seven passes for 82 yards. No other wide receiver for the team saw more than three targets. Cooks is a volume-based... Read More
Dameon Pierce's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce appears to be the team's No. 2 back heading into Week 2 and the team's meeting with the Denver Broncos. Pierce had 11 carries in Week 1, finishing with 33 yards. He was targeted once in the passing game, catching it for a six-yard gain. As long as... Read More
Rex Burkhead's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead appears to be the team's lead back heading into their Week 2 matchup with the Broncos. Burkhead had three more carries than Dameon Pierce last week, as well as seven more targets than the rookie. Burkhead could have some appeal in deep PPR leagues as a flex play, but... Read More
Davis Mills' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, making him a tough player to trust in fantasy football. Last week, Mills attempted 37 passes but ended up with just 240 yards in an overtime tie with the Colts. The Broncos allowed just 177 passing yards last week,... Read More
Alvin Kamara Not Spotted At Practice Friday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was not on the field for the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media. This doesn't necessarily mean he was a non-participant, but at the very least, he was significantly limited. For what it's worth, he was limited on Wednesday but did not practice... Read More
Velus Jones Jr. Doubtful For Week 2
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 2. He did not practice for the second consecutive week. With Jones sidelined, look for Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to fill depth roles behind Darnell Mooney. St. Brown and Pettis combined for two catches, 69 yards, and two... Read More
Van Jefferson Ruled Out For Week 2
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) "is making great progress" but won't play against the Falcons in Week 2, head coach Sean McVay told Sarah Barshop of ESPN. This marks the second consecutive game in which Jefferson won't suit up. Cooper Kupp is the only must-start receiver in this offense. Allen Robinson and... Read More
KJ Hamler Working On Side Field
Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee, hip) was seen working on a side field Friday. Hamler, who returned from an ACL tear in Week 1 but did not catch a pass, has not practiced this week. He appears to be a longshot to play against the Texans in Week 2. If he is indeed... Read More
Mike Evans, Julio Jones Return To Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (calf) and Julio Jones (knee) both returned to practice on Friday. The duo was absent from practice on Thursday, but their return to the field suggests both veteran receivers should play in Week 2 against the Saints. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) looking like a longshot to play, Evans... Read More
Allen Lazard Taking Team Reps Friday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle), who practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday, is expected to progress through team reps during Friday's practice. This is another step in the right direction for Lazard after he did not play in Week 1. Assuming he suits up in Week 2, the 26-year-old... Read More
Tee Higgins Returns To Practice Friday
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion, personal) returned to practice on Friday. The third-year wideout was limited on Wednesday due to his head injury and absent on Thursday to attend his father's funeral, but his return to the practice field to close out the week suggests he's on track to play in Week 2.... Read More
Mac Jones Practicing Again Friday
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (illness, back) returned to practice on Friday. He had been a non-participant on Thursday. Jones, who dealt with back spasms in Week 1, also came down with a stomach issue in the middle of the week. However, now that he's back on the practice field, it appears he'll be... Read More
Cole Beasley Fielding Contract Offers
Free-agent wide receiver Cole Beasley "is drawing serious interest and contract offers from multiple NFL teams," according to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network. The veteran slot receiver is expected to take his time and wait until the right opportunity presents itself. Beasley, 33, played in 16 games for the Bills last season, catching 82... Read More
Shaquille Leonard, Alec Pierce Ruled Out For Week 2
Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) and wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) have both been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although Leonard practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday, it appears he'll still miss his second consecutive game. Meanwhile, Pierce made real progress but was unable to clear the concussion... Read More
Justin Herbert's Rib X-Rays Were Negative
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) avoided any broken bones following Thursday night's game. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Herbert's X-rays came back negative. As a result, the third-string quarterback will undergo further testing. The injury clearly bothered Herbert in Week 2, but he only missed one offensive snap. Los Angeles doesn't... Read More
Rondale Moore, Andy Isabella Ruled Out For Week 2
Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Andy Isabella (back) have both been ruled out ahead of Week 2. With these wideouts sidelined and DeAndre Hopkins suspended, Arizona will proceed with Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Greg Dortch, and Zach Ertz headlining the passing game. Brown and Ertz are both worth starting against a suspect... Read More
Michael Pittman Jr. Questionable For Week 2
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2, head coach Frank Reich announced. Pittman aggravated the injury on Wednesday and was limited in practice. Then, he was a non-participant on Thursday. It is unclear if he practiced in any capacity on Friday, but the good news is that... Read More
Mason Crosby - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the Chicago Bears in the team's home opener Sunday night. The 38-year-old made his lone extra-point attempt last week, recording no field goal tries in the Packers' blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Green Bay's offense should fair better this week against Chicago, but Crosby's fantasy scoring... Read More
Packers Defense A Streaming Option Vs. Chicago
The Green Bay Packers defense will host the Chicago Bears in their home opener on Sunday night. The team struggled last weekend against the Minnesota Vikings, allowing wide receiver Justin Jefferson to catch nine passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns. However, they have a more favorable matchup this week against the Justin Fields-led Bears.... Read More
Robert Tonyan A Decent Streaming Option For Week 2
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan faces the Chicago Bears this Sunday night in Green Bay's home opener. The 28-year-old tied for the team-high in targets last week with rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs and could see a decent target share again Sunday. San Francisco was without George Kittle last week, allowing Chicago to... Read More
Christian Watson An Extremely Risky Flex Option
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The first-round rookie played 66% of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against Minnesota but produced only two receptions on four targets for 34 yards. He also dropped a deep go-ahead touchdown down the sideline. It was positive to see... Read More
