Jets Defense Best Left Alone In Week 2
The New York Jets defense played better than the final score showed in Week 1, but they are still not a recommended fantasy option in Week 2. In Week 1, they allowed 24 points while recording two sacks and one interception. With Joe Flacco in charge of the offense, it could be another week where... Read More
Cowboys Defense A Risky Play In Week 2
The Dallas Cowboys defense makes for a risky fantasy play in Week 2 lineups. While the Cowboys defense did well against the Bucs in Week 1, allowing 19 points while recording two sacks and an interception, Week 2 could be a bit different. With Cooper Rush at quarterback, the Dallas offense may not be able... Read More
Brett Maher Not A Strong Kicking Option In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is not a strong kicking option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. Maher scored the only points for the Cowboys in a rough 19-3 loss in Week 1, but with Cooper Rush set to lead the Dallas offense, it's unlikely they need Maher for many extra points and unfortunately also unlikely... Read More
Dalton Schultz Still A Strong Option In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz remains a strong fantasy TE option despite the current (and likely continued) struggles of the Dallas offense. Schultz finished Week 1 as the overall TE6, catching seven passes for 62 scoreless yards. With the Cowboys passing game about to run through Cooper Rush for at least a few weeks,... Read More
Noah Brown Not A Good Week 2 Option
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Noah Brown is not a great fantasy option in a Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown ended up leading the Cowboys in receiving yards in Week 1, but it was a lot of garbage time heaves by Cooper Rush that made Brown fantasy relevant. While garbage time and heaves... Read More
CeeDee Lamb Looks To Bounce Back In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look for a bounce-back performance in a Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb had a brutal opening game, drawing 11 targets but only catching two passes for a total of 29 scoreless yards. He'll continue to operate as the team's WR1, but with quarterback Cooper Rush... Read More
Tony Pollard Could Be The Better Dallas RB In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could put up a better performance than his backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott in a Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Cooper Rush getting the start under center, it's not a stretch to assume the Cowboys offense won't be able to get too much done in the passing... Read More
Ezekiel Elliott Could Struggle In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a decent game in Week 1 but could see his numbers dip in Week 2. Playing without Dak Prescott has always made "Zeke" slump a bit, and that could be true again as Cooper Rush will get the start under center. The Cowboys could lean on Elliott a... Read More
Saquon Barkley A Surefire RB1 In Week 2
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is set to square off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. The superstar running back showcased his talents with 164 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown, while also adding 30 receiving yards on six receptions in New York's Week 1 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The former... Read More
Greg Zuerlein Not A Week 2 Fantasy Option
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 2 lineups. Zuerlein missed two of his four kicks in Week 1, and playing on a team unlikely to score in bunches, Zuerlein needs to be perfect to just stay in the periphery of fantasy relevance. Most leagues will have several... Read More
Tyler Conklin An Underrated Week 2 Option
New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin is an underrated TE2 option in a Week 2 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted seven times in Week 1 and made four catches including the only Jets touchdown of the season so far. He's a decent pass catcher and a good enough blocker that he... Read More
Daniel Jones Set Up For Decent Matchup Against Panthers
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is scheduled to play the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. The former No. 6 overall pick had an efficient performance in Week 1 versus the Tennessee Titans, though, his numbers were underwhelming with 188 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception while completing 17 of his 21 attempts.... Read More
Zay Jones Could See Decent Workload In Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is slated to square off against the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC South matchup in Week 2. The veteran wideout impressed in the season opener versus the Washington Commanders, posting six receptions for 65 yards on nine targets. The East Carolina product appears to be the No. 2 wide... Read More
Garrett Wilson Hopes For A Good Second Game In Week 2
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson got his NFL career off to a decent start in Week 1 and he'll look to build on that in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Wilson saw eight targets in the opener, catching four passes for 52 yards. A similar performance seems possible in Week 2,... Read More
Christian Kirk Could Be Busy Again In Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk will be taking on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. The newly-signed wideout made his debut with the Jaguars in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders, finishing with six receptions for 117 yards on a team-high 12 targets. The former second-round pick ran 37 of his 40 routes in... Read More
Corey Davis Looks For Two Good Weeks In A Row In Week 2
New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will look to make it two strong weeks in a row when the Jets take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Davis led Jets receivers in catches, targets, and yards in Week 1. With the Jets likely to have to play from behind once again, quarterback Joe... Read More
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. This is a great sign for his availability this week after he was held out in the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. With a struggling receiving core in... Read More
Elijah Moore Could Have A Good Week 2
New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore could have a solid Week 2 performance against the Cleveland Browns. Moore worked as the clear WR1 in Week 1, catching five passes on seven targets for 49 yards. He also scored a touchdown, but it was called back due to a penalty. With the Jets likely to... Read More
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... Read More
Trevor Lawrence A Solid Option In Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is set to face the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 2. The second-year quarterback threw for 275 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders while posting only 14.4 fantasy points. Even with a perceived tough matchup against the Colts, the Clemson product looked comfortable targeting... Read More
Breece Hall Has A Decent Week 2 Matchup
New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall has a decent matchup coming up in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Hall showed some good flashes in Week 1, running the ball six times and seeing 10 passing game targets. He's working behind Michael Carter, but there should still be plenty to go around for... Read More
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... Read More
Michael Carter A Decent Week 2 Option
New York Jets running back Michael Carter is a decent RB2/flex option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The Jets will be taking on a solid Cleveland Browns run defense, but Carter's usage in Week 1 showed that the Jets will certainly give him a chance to pick up some yards. He totaled 100 yards from... Read More
Mac Jones Not Practicing Thursday
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (illness, back) is not practicing on Thursday due to an illness, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero writes that it's his understanding that it's not believed to be COVID-19-related. Jones had an upset stomach, so they decided to give him the day off. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller dealt with back... Read More
Russell Gage Returns To Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gage played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys and caught both of his targets for just 13 yards. When all of the team's receivers are healthy, Gage is... Read More
Dak Prescott A Week Away From Activities
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) is at least seven to 10 days away from doing anything. "He needs to heal right now," McCarthy said. Prescott fractured his right thumb in the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had surgery on Monday. The Cowboys aren't putting him... Read More
Julio Jones Not Practicing Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) missed the team's practice on Thursday. With receivers Mike Evans (calf) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) also out on Thursday, the Buccaneers are suddenly extremely banged up at the position heading into a Week 2 divisional clash with the New Orleans Saints. Russell Gage (hamstring) missed practice on... Read More
Rondale Moore Misses Another Practice Thursday
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Andy Isabella (back) also missed a second straight practice, and if both Moore and Isabella are unavailable for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders, we could see bigger roles from Andre Baccellia and tight end Stephen Anderson. Moore injured his... Read More
Panthers Want To Get Christian McCaffrey More Involved
Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said that running back Christian McCaffrey is a special and unique player and that "we've got to get the ball in his hands." McCaffrey played 81 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Cleveland Browns, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards and... Read More
T.J. Watt Officially Lands On Injured Reserve
The Pittsburgh Steelers officially placed linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and signed outside linebacker David Anenih to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Anenih was on the Tennessee Titans practice squad before joining the Steelers. Watt and the Steelers initially believed he suffered a season-ending torn pectoral muscle in the... Read More
