Breece Hall A Classic Floor-Ceiling Play In Week 1
New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall is a classic example of a floor-ceiling/boom-bust option in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hall has the elite three-down skillset to be a player who doesn't need to leave the field when his team is on offense. His draft status (top of round 2) also indicates... Read More
Dalton Schultz Should Start A Huge Season In Week 1
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz should get off to a strong start in Week 1 of what could be a top-tier TE season.

CeeDee Lamb Looks To Get Off To A Hot Start In Week 1
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is primed to take the next step into alpha WR1 status, and that journey starts in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs.

James Robinson Back To 100 Percent Health
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back James Robinson (Achilles) is 100 percent back from his torn Achilles. Pederson said Robinson's Week 1 workload against the Washington Commanders will depend on how he looks, but he isn't ruling out Robinson having a normal workload. The 24-year-old will no doubt be active this... Read More
Tony Pollard Set For A Bigger Role In Week 1
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is a solid option in Week 1 lineups against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Pollard has outright league-winning upside if Ezekiel Elliott misses time, but Pollard is supposed to be in much more of a 1A/1B situation with Elliott this season as opposed to his previous backup/pass catching role. Pollard... Read More
Ezekiel Elliott Should Get Off To A Decent Start In Week 1
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should get off to a decent start in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Read More
Dak Prescott Set For A Solid Week 1
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott makes for a solid starting QB option in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott was the QB9 in fantasy scoring last season and should be in for a similar season again in 2022. He ran the ball much less last season, but with a diminished offensive line, he... Read More

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his level of concern about running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is "not high."

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the New York Mets on Wednesday.

Tyler Wells Activated And Starting Wednesday
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (oblique) is being activated from the 15-day injured list and will start on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Moncada is slashing .197/.269/.313 with... Read More
Darius Slayton Misses Tuesday's Practice
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (undisclosed) didn't suit up for practice on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was practicing with the second unit throughout most of training camp.

Zamir White Unlikely To Have Significant Role
Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White is not expected to have a significant role on the team to begin the season.

Wade Miley Activated And Starting Tuesday
The Chicago Cubs activated left-hander Wade Miley (shoulder) from the injured list on Tuesday and designated pitcher Luke Farrell for assignment in a corresponding move.

The 31-year-old veteran will be... Read More

Drew Rasmussen Scratched On Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and placed on the paternity list. With Rasmussen leaving the team for a few days, JT Chargois will step in as the opener on Tuesday against Boston, but he won't have much fantasy appeal as... Read More
Ke'Bryan Hayes Returns To The Lineup Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (shoulder) is back at third base and is hitting fifth on Tuesday against the New York Mets and right-hander Taijuan Walker.
