He had initially been listed as questionable before being downgraded. Tyler Boyd will step up as the No. 2 receiver behind Ja'Marr... Read More
Tee Higgins Being Evaluated For Concussion
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return. He hauled in two passes for 27 yards before exiting. Although the designation leaves the door open for Higgins to return, Cincinnati will surely exercise caution considering it's only Week 1. If Higgins is forced to miss... Read More
Damien Williams Exits With Rib Injury
Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams suffered a rib injury in the first quarter of Sunday's season opener versus the New Orleans Saints. He is questionable to return. The news leaves Cordarrelle Patterson as the Falcons' lone running back since Tyler Allgeier was a healthy scratch. Fullback Keith Smith could also get involved out of... Read More
Julio Jones Displays Speed In Training Camp
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones "clocked the fastest time of any player on his team during training camp practices," according to Ian Rapoport. Evidently, even as Jones' age increases, his speed remains quite impressive. The veteran wideout should use his speed to his advantage, getting open and racking up YAC in 2022. He's... Read More
Trey Sermon Not Suiting Up Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles running back Trey Sermon is a healthy scratch for Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions. This is no surprise considering the Eagles have plenty of trust in their three-headed backfield of Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell, and Boston Scott. Sermon garnered plenty of hype with the 49ers as a rookie last season, but... Read More
KJ Hamler Questionable For Week 1
Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee, hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for the Week 1 regular season opener on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

Trey Lance Has No Leash In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is not being held back as he begins his journey as the team's starter. As Ian Rapoport of NFL.com notes, Lance has "no leash" heading into Week 1 versus the Chicago Bears. He has significant upside as a potential QB1 finisher in 2022, but his value could be capped... Read More
Jeremy Ruckert, Denzel Mims Inactive Against Ravens
New York Jets rookie tight end Jeremy Ruckert and wide receiver Denzel Mims are healthy scratches for Week 1 of the regular season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Ruckert, a third-round pick this year out of Ohio State, has a bright future, but he's currently buried on the tight end depth chart in New... Read More
Logan Thomas Suiting Up In Week 1
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) is officially active for Week 1 again the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was expected, but it's still refreshing to receive confirmation from the team. With a relatively tough matchup on tap, Thomas falls into the mid-to-low TE2 range. His fantasy success is likely dependent on a touchdown, something that... Read More
Pierre Strong Jr. A Healthy Scratch In Week 1
New England Patriots rookie running back Pierre Strong Jr. is a healthy scratch for the Week 1 season opener against the Miami Dolphins. Strong will start his NFL career on the sidelines with pass-catching specialist Ty Montgomery (knee) surprisingly active on Sunday. The 23-year-old fourth-rounder looked a bit lost in training camp and the preseason,... Read More
Velus Jones Jr. Officially Inactive For Week 1
Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie did not practice at all this week and, as a result, was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. His absence should lead to a bump in target for Equanimeous St. Brown and Byron... Read More
Tyler Allgeier Inactive For Week 1
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Tyler Allgeier is inactive for Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. The BYU product hasn't been dealing with an injury, so it appears he's a healthy scratch. Allgeier drew plenty of hype this past offseason since he was a candidate to emerge as the starter in a relatively weak... Read More
Michael Thomas Officially Active For Week 1
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) is officially active for Week 1 despite being listed as questionable. He has some appeal with a divisional matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on tap, but fantasy managers should approach the situation with caution considering Thomas hasn't played in a regular season game since Week 14 back...

Drake London Officially Active For Week 1
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Week 1. Despite being listed as questionable, he's good to go for his NFL debut against the New Orleans Saints.

Laviska Shenault Jr. Inactive In Week 1
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a healthy scratch for Week 1 versus the Cleveland Browns.

James Robinson Officially Active In Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is officially active for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Danny Gray is a healthy inactive for Week 1 versus the Chicago Bears.

Ty Montgomery Active Against Dolphins
New England Patriots running back Ty Montgomery (knee), who was carted off the field after getting injured in the preseason finale, is officially active in the Week 1 regular season opener against the Miami Dolphins.

Tyrion Davis-Price Inactive Against Bears
San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price is listed as inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. This is a bit surprising considering Trey Sermon is off the roster now. Apparently, the 49ers feel comfortable with Elijah Mitchell and Jeff Wilson Jr. as the primary running backs. Davis-Price does have some stash... Read More
Jakobi Meyers Active For Week 1
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is officially active for the Week 1 season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Meyers was limited in practice all week and was fully expected to suit up for this one. The 25-year-old was quarterback Mac Jones' favorite target in 2021, but the Patriots added former... Read More
George Kittle Officially Out For Week 1
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) has been officially ruled out for the Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
