New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (illness, back) returned to practice on Friday. He had been a non-participant on Thursday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Nick Bosa A High-End Defensive End In Week 2
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is a high-end DE/edge-rushing option for IDP leagues in his Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Bosa is coming off a one-sack, multi-pressure showing against the Bears and facing another weak offensive line. PFF ranked the Seahawks the single worst O-line in its preseason rankings, and they... Read More
49ers Defense Week 2 Outlook
The San Francisco 49ers defensive and special teams unit faces a Seattle Seahawks offense that entered the season with low expectations. The Seahawks ranked 20th in total offense last season—and that was with Russell Wilson at quarterback. Now Geno Smith is the starter. He looked very bad early in his career, then he only played... Read More
Robbie Gould's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is coming off a game in which he made the only field goal he attempted, and he's facing a Seattle Seahawks team this week that allowed 6.6 kicking points per game last season, the 13th-fewest in the league. The Seahawks defense is about average, and the 49ers offense is... Read More
Jordan Mason A Potential Stash
San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Jordan Mason could have an expanded role in the 49ers upcoming home game against the Seattle Seahawks. With starting RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) set to miss the next eight or so games with a sprained MCL, other Niners backs will have to step up. Jeff Wilson Jr. is the... Read More
Jeff Wilson Jr. Must Step Up In Week 2
San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. takes on the starting role for the 49ers in their Week 2 home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Brandon Aiyuk Has Good Matchup, Poor Situation
While San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk's Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is favorable on paper, the situation surrounding his team is not. The Seahawks defense allowed the second-most passing yards in 2021 and gave up 340 to the Broncos Week 1. Both the Broncos top two WRs scored double digits in PPR.... Read More
Deebo Samuel's Dual-Threat Role Brings Upside
San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel's role in his team's running game offers him some insurance value in his Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners' passing game looked terrible Week 1, and Samuel only made two catches, but he still finished inside the top 30 WRs in standard scoring on the strength... Read More
Matt Prater A Starting Option In Week 2
Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is a solid option in Week 2 in what could be a high-scoring affair with the Las Vegas Raiders. He didn't attempt a field goal in Week 1, but that was expected when the Cardinals went down by multiple possessions early in the game. The 38-year-old was a decent option... Read More
AJ Dillon Is A High-End RB2 In Week 2
Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night in Green Bay's home opener. The 24-year-old tallied 15 touches in Week 1 against Minnesota, totaling 91 yards while scoring the Packers' lone touchdown.

Cardinals Defense Draws Another Tough Matchup In Week 2
The Arizona Cardinals defense will have their hands full once again in Week 2 as they take on Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, and company. They were shredded in Week 1 by Patrick Mahomes as they allowed 360 passing yards and five touchdowns. After what we saw in the season opener, it is hard... Read More
Trey Lance Has Rushing Floor In Week 2
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will attempt to quiet the doubters when the Seahawks come to Levi's Stadium for a Week 2 divisional matchup. Lance struggled last week against the Bears, finishing as the QB27, but Soldier Field was a sloppy mess from heavy rain. It is likely to rain in San Francisco, too,... Read More
Damien Williams Ruled Out For Week 2
Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams (rib) has been ruled out for the Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Williams missed practice all week after picking up the injury in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was expected to have a big role as Cordarrelle Patterson's backup,... Read More
WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 2
Week 1 is in the books, and fantasy managers are adjusting their strategies after the first game.

The process for assigning points to a specific matchup has to... Read More
Greg Dortch Could Be A Solid Option In Week 2
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch could have some solid upside in Week 2 after a strong performance in the season opener. The 24-year-old led the team in targets with nine, turning it into seven catches for 63 yards. With Rondale Moore (hamstring) unlikely to play again, Dortch will take on the slot receiver role... Read More
Aaron Jones A Bounce-Back Candidate Against Chicago
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. After receiving just eight touches last week, the 27-year-old will look to bounce back against the division rival. Jones was hyper-efficient with his touches, averaging 9.8 yards per carry and nine yards per reception in Week 1. Teammate AJ Dillon... Read More
Marquise Brown A Solid Option In Week 2
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown will look to build on a solid start to the season after catching a touchdown in his Cardinals debut. The former Baltimore Raven looks to be Kyler Murray's go-to target down the field, as he had 102 air yards and an average target distance of 17 yards in the... Read More
Chris Godwin Still In Play For Week 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) and left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) are still in play to suit up in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. However, if Bowles had to guess, he said it's unlikely that either plays on Sunday. Expect both Godwin and Smith... Read More
James Conner A High-End RB2 In Week 2
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner will look to build off a solid start to the season after he totaled five receptions, 55 total yards, and a touchdown in Week 1. In a negative game script for running backs, Conner was still able to produce a solid performance for fantasy managers. His usage close to... Read More
Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson Injured In Week 2 Win
Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Mecole Hardman (ankle) and Justin Watson (shoulder) both picked up injuries in Thursday night's 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
