Leonard Fournette Draws Questionable Tag
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 2 contest against the New Orleans Saints. Fournette was able to practice on a limited basis all week, so there seems to be a pretty good chance that he'll be active and serving as the team's lead back this weekend.... Read More
Mike Evans Questionable For Week 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Evans was limited in practice on Wednesday and Friday and took a DNP on Thursday. The fact that Evans was able to practice at all on Friday is a good sign that he'll be able... Read More
Younghoe Koo – Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had an outstanding performance in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He made both of his extra point attempts and converted four-of-five field goals. Furthermore, he was perfect on the day kicking until the final play when the Falcons asked him to attempt a 63-yard field goal... Read More
Falcons Defense Not A Viable Option Against The Rams
The Atlanta Falcons defense was one of the worst units in 2021. However, with the additions they made in the offseason, headlined by the signing of cornerback Casey Hayward, some believed the Falcons would have an improved unit in 2022. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case in the 27-26 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The... Read More
Najee Harris Will Play In Week 2
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (foot) was removed from the Week 2 injury report and will play on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Harris was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he practiced in full the last two days and is good to go after aggravating his foot injury in the Week 1... Read More
Kyle Pitts Should Bounce Back Against Los Angeles
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts had a quiet Week 1 performance against the New Orleans Saints. While he matched the rookie Drake London for a team-high seven targets, the second-year tight end was able to catch only two for 19 yards. However, Pitts should bounce back this week against the Los Angeles Rams. While... Read More
Olamide Zaccheaus – Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has never been a fantasy-relevant player. Despite a poor performance from Kyle Pitts and a lack of options around him, the former undrafted free agent had only four receptions for 49 yards last week against the New Orleans Saints. While he played the second-most snap among wide receivers on... Read More
Davante Adams Looks To Continue His Dominance In Week 2
After a dominant Las Vegas Raiders debut, wide receiver Davante Adams will look for similar success in a Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Adams saw the most targets in the NFL in Week 1 with 17, which is something fantasy managers should get used to. Fantasy managers were eager to see how the... Read More
Eddy Pineiro Remains An Uninteresting Fantasy Option
Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro was successful on his lone field goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in the team's Week 1 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Carolina will face the New York Giants in Week 2, and although the Giants' defense isn't one that fantasy managers need to avoid, Pineiro remains... Read More
Drake London A Potential Sleeper In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London had a solid Week 1 performance. The rookie receiver had seven targets, pulling in five for 74 yards. While he failed to find the end zone, the former USC star led the team in receiving yards, targets, and route participation. Furthermore, London was second on the team in... Read More
Cordarrelle Patterson – Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is coming off an excellent Week 1 performance. The veteran running back had 22 rushing attempts for 120 yards and a touchdown in the loss against the New Orleans Saints. After Damien Williams left the game with a rib injury, Patterson saw 91.3% of the running back rushing attempts... Read More
Marcus Mariota A Solid QB2 Option Against The Rams
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota is coming off a strong performance in Week 1, completing 60.6% of his pass attempts for 215 yards. He also added 12 rushing attempts for 72 yards in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. While Mariota is coming off a 19.8 fantasy point performance, the former No. 2 overall... Read More
Panthers Defense - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football
The Carolina Panthers defense/special teams appeared to be set up for success against the Jacoby Brissett-led Cleveland Browns last week but unfortunately did not come through for fantasy football. They have another enticing matchup in Week 2, however, against the New York Giants. Although the Giants' offense looked improved to start the season, turnover-prone quarterback... Read More
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
Aaron Civale To Return Tuesday
The plan is for Cleveland Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale (forearm) to return to the starting rotation and pitch against the Chicago White Sox next Tuesday, according to manager Terry Francona. Civale surrendered four earned runs and allowed two home runs in 2 2/3 innings in his minor league rehab start on Thursday, but the Guardians... 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
Justin Verlander Activated And Starting Friday
The Houston Astros activated starting pitcher Justin Verlander (calf) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and optioned Seth Martinez to the minors in a corresponding move. Verlander, who landed on the injured list on Aug. 30 with a calf injury, will make the start in a great matchup against the Oakland Athletics on Friday.... 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
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
