Fantasy Football Injury Roundup For NFL RBs: Week 1 Updates for Kenneth Walker, James Robinson, J.K. Dobbins, Leonard Fournette
Stefon Diggs Goes Off In Week 1
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was expected to once again be one of the better fantasy wideouts this season. There was some speculation that maybe he'd slow down, but clearly that's not happening. On Thursday, Diggs finished with eight receptions for 122 receiving yards, and one touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles... Read More
Jakobi Meyers Limited Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has now practiced in a limited fashion in back-to-back days. The 25-year-old will need to log a full practice on Friday to better his chances of suiting up for Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. He caught 83 passes... Read More
Donald Parham Jr. Not Practicing Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) remained sidelined in Thursday's practice. He is missed back-to-back practices this week and his status for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders is in doubt. Friday's injury report should indicate whether Parham suits up for the regular season opener. The 25-year-old has 30 receptions for... Read More
Brandon Aiyuk A Potential Sleeper In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk is listed as a sleeper WR to target in Week 1 with his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Aiyuk finished last season with 685 yards in the final ten games. He begins the 2022 campaign against a Bears defense that allowed amongst the most yards per reception and fantasy... Read More
Deebo Samuel Has Favorable Matchup In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel begins the season with a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Niners are 7 point favorites, who are implied to score around 24 points, against a Bears team that is expected to be one of the worst in the league. The Bears allowed the seventh most fantasy points... Read More
Trey Lance - Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance's highly anticipated first game as a starter comes this Sunday in Chicago, a matchup that could establish the redshirt prospect as a top-12 fantasy quarterback. The highly-athletic second-year QB showed flashes early on in preseason, but by the end of preseason, a narrative began to develop that the 49ers... Read More
Alexander Mattison Dealing With Personal Matter
Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison did not practice Thursday for personal reasons. There has been no report of Mattison potentially missing Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Friday's injury report will determine if the 24-year-old will suit up for the regular season opener. He had 134 carries for a career-high 491 yards and... Read More
Robert Tonyan Limited Thursday
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. He had been sidelined since Week 8 of last season with a torn ACL and is on track to suit up for the regular season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old has been limited in back-to-back practices, but Friday's... Read More
Matt Gay Hits Only FG And Extra-Point Attempts Of Game
Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on extra points in the Rams 31-10 opening-game loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 28-year-old nailed a field goal from 57 yards out towards the end of the first half. He did everything that was asked of him. The Rams offense just... Read More
Tyler Higbee Targeted 11 Times
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught five of 11 targets for 39 yards in the Rams' 31-10 opening-game loss to the Buffalo Bills. While the huge volume was encouraging for the 29-year-old tight end, who is coming off knee surgery, the lack of efficiency is concerning. This kind of target share (26.8% of... Read More
Ben Skowronek Catches Four Passes For 25 Yards
Los Angeles Rams receiver Ben Skowronek caught four of six targets for 25 yards in the Rams' 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Skowronek, who is the No. 4 WR on the depth chart, was drafted out of Notre Dame in the seventh round of the 2021 Draft. He was starting in the place of... Read More
Allen Robinson II Catches One Of Two Targets In Rams Debut
Los Angeles Rams receiver Allen Robinson II caught one of two targets for 12 yards in his Rams debut, a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The lack of production was disappointing to fantasy owners and mystifying to fans. But the Rams looked bad in almost all facets of the game. Coach Sean McVay said... Read More
Darrell Henderson Jr. Leads Rams Backfield
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. took 13 carries for 47 yards and caught five passes for 26 yards in the Rams' 31-10 Thursday Night loss to the Buffalo Bills. Henderson was the lead back in the Rams offense by far. Cam Akers, who is listed as the No. 1 RB on the... Read More
Cam Akers Runs The Ball Three Times For Zero Yards
Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers carried the ball three times for no yards in LA's 31-10 opening game loss to the Buffalo Bills. He added no production as a receiver, either. Teammate Darrell Henderson Jr. carried the ball 13 times and was targeted five times. It looks like Rams coach Sean McVay wasn't... Read More
Matthew Stafford Throws One TD, Three Picks In Blowout Loss
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 29 of 41 pass attempts for 240 yards and one touchdown while throwing three interceptions in the Rams' 31-10 Thursday loss to the Buffalo Bills. The defending Super Bowl champions did not look composed, and Stafford lacked chemistry with his new receiver Allen Robinson II, whom he only... Read More

Diontae Johnson Trending Towards Playing In Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice. Johnson has back-to-back limited practice sessions under his belt. It sounds like the team is taking it one day at a time. That being said, fantasy managers will likely have to wait until after practice on Friday for more information. The fact Johnson... Read More
Michael Thomas Hopeful To Play On Sunday
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) was limited once again during Thursday's practice. The stud wideout has practiced in back-to-back days, which is a good sign. It sounds like the organization is optimistic that Thomas will be able to get on the field for the season opener on Sunday. Thomas has been dealing... Read More
Saints Sign Erik McCoy To Extension
New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy has agreed to a new deal with the organization. The former second round pick is coming off the worst season of his career. Despite that, the two sides have agreed to a five-year $63.75 million deal. McCoy is normally above average, but battled through a calf injury last season.... Read More
Khalil Herbert Not Worth A Week 1 Start
Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert will start the game as the team's RB2 against the 49ers this Sunday. The lead role belongs to tough-running David Montgomery but the Bears will need to lean on the running game in Week 1. That could open the door for Herbert to see some touches but that number... Read More
Kenneth Walker III Likely To Miss Week 1
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is unlikely to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back was unable to practice on Thursday. At this point, it doesn't seem like Walker is going to have enough time to get ready for this contest. The expectation is that... Read More
Cole Kmet Has Something To Prove
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will begin his third NFL season against the 49ers this Sunday. The former second-round pick hasn't quite lived up to expectations thus far but this season could be a turning point. Kmet caught 60 passes last season for 612 yards but failed to find the end zone. The Bears... Read More
Darnell Mooney Primed For Week 1 Targets
Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney will take on the 49ers in Week 1. Mooney blossomed last season, racking up a career-high 81 receptions for 1,056 yards and four touchdowns in a mediocre Matt Nagy offense. Now the Bears have a new offensive scheme, quarterback Justin Fields heading into his second season and Mooney is... Read More
Zack Moss Disappointing In Week 1
Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss failed to make much of an impact during the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. He rushed six times for 15 yards and hauled in six receptions for 21 yards through the air in the victory. At least fantasy managers in PPR formats got something out... Read More
David Montgomery Ready For Week 1 Challenge
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will take on a talented 49ers defensive front in Week 1. Montgomery is the unquestioned lead back but there may be moments where the Bears try to get backup Khalil Herbert involved. That should not dissuade fantasy managers, however, to plug in Montgomery as a solid RB2/3 choice for... Read More
Devin Singletary Rushes For Nearly 50 Yards
Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary surprisingly had a decent game on the ground during the season opener on Thursday. He rushed eight times for 48 yards, while adding two receptions for 14 yards through the air. This was a fairly decent game for Singletary, but he didn't do much damage in fantasy leagues. His... Read More
Justin Fields Carries QB2 Status Into Week 1
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will host the 49ers in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. The second-year quarterback gets a fresh start with head coach Matt Eberflus, but more importantly, new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. But Fields will be put to the test against a stacked 49ers defensive line and questions at the... Read More
Josh Allen Looks Strong In Season Opener
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen came out strong during the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. He completed his first 10 passes and tossed two touchdowns in the process. It was a team effort to get this win, but Allen certainly came out of the gate strong. He completed 26-of-31 passing attempts... Read More
