Rhys Hoskins Not Starting On Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Hoskins was forced from Wednesday's game early after being hit by a pitch in the hand, but thankfully X-rays came back negative and he's just dealing with a contusion. There's a chance that the 29-year-old slugger... Read More
Dalton Schultz Still A Strong Option In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz remains a strong fantasy TE option despite the current (and likely continued) struggles of the Dallas offense. Schultz finished Week 1 as the overall TE6, catching seven passes for 62 scoreless yards. With the Cowboys passing game about to run through Cooper Rush for at least a few weeks,... Read More
Noah Brown Not A Good Week 2 Option
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Noah Brown is not a great fantasy option in a Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown ended up leading the Cowboys in receiving yards in Week 1, but it was a lot of garbage time heaves by Cooper Rush that made Brown fantasy relevant. While garbage time and heaves... Read More
CeeDee Lamb Looks To Bounce Back In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look for a bounce-back performance in a Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb had a brutal opening game, drawing 11 targets but only catching two passes for a total of 29 scoreless yards. He'll continue to operate as the team's WR1, but with quarterback Cooper Rush... Read More
Tony Pollard Could Be The Better Dallas RB In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could put up a better performance than his backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott in a Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Cooper Rush getting the start under center, it's not a stretch to assume the Cowboys offense won't be able to get too much done in the passing... Read More
Ezekiel Elliott Could Struggle In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a decent game in Week 1 but could see his numbers dip in Week 2. Playing without Dak Prescott has always made "Zeke" slump a bit, and that could be true again as Cooper Rush will get the start under center. The Cowboys could lean on Elliott a... Read More
Greg Zuerlein Not A Week 2 Fantasy Option
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 2 lineups. Zuerlein missed two of his four kicks in Week 1, and playing on a team unlikely to score in bunches, Zuerlein needs to be perfect to just stay in the periphery of fantasy relevance. Most leagues will have several... Read More
Tyler Conklin An Underrated Week 2 Option
New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin is an underrated TE2 option in a Week 2 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted seven times in Week 1 and made four catches including the only Jets touchdown of the season so far. He's a decent pass catcher and a good enough blocker that he... Read More
Garrett Wilson Hopes For A Good Second Game In Week 2
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson got his NFL career off to a decent start in Week 1 and he'll look to build on that in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Wilson saw eight targets in the opener, catching four passes for 52 yards. A similar performance seems possible in Week 2,... Read More
Corey Davis Looks For Two Good Weeks In A Row In Week 2
New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will look to make it two strong weeks in a row when the Jets take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Davis led Jets receivers in catches, targets, and yards in Week 1. With the Jets likely to have to play from behind once again, quarterback Joe... Read More
Elijah Moore Could Have A Good Week 2
New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore could have a solid Week 2 performance against the Cleveland Browns. Moore worked as the clear WR1 in Week 1, catching five passes on seven targets for 49 yards. He also scored a touchdown, but it was called back due to a penalty. With the Jets likely to... Read More
Tee Higgins Misses Practice Due To Personal Reasons
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion, personal) was not at practice on Thursday due to personal reasons. The third-year stud entered concussion protocol following a hit to the head in the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers and was limited at practice on Wednesday. Head coach Zac Taylor mentioned that Higgins was able to... Read More
Breece Hall Has A Decent Week 2 Matchup
New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall has a decent matchup coming up in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Hall showed some good flashes in Week 1, running the ball six times and seeing 10 passing game targets. He's working behind Michael Carter, but there should still be plenty to go around for... Read More
Michael Carter A Decent Week 2 Option
New York Jets running back Michael Carter is a decent RB2/flex option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The Jets will be taking on a solid Cleveland Browns run defense, but Carter's usage in Week 1 showed that the Jets will certainly give him a chance to pick up some yards. He totaled 100 yards from... Read More
Alejandro Kirk Out With Hip Tightness
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) is dealing with some left hip tightness, which is why he's out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Toronto thinks Kirk could be available off the bench, though, so he's considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers need to act accordingly and move Kirk to their... Read More
Mac Jones Not Practicing Thursday
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (illness, back) is not practicing on Thursday due to an illness, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero writes that it's his understanding that it's not believed to be COVID-19-related. Jones had an upset stomach, so they decided to give him the day off. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller dealt with back... Read More
Russell Gage Returns To Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gage played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys and caught both of his targets for just 13 yards. When all of the team's receivers are healthy, Gage is... Read More
Julio Jones Not Practicing Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) missed the team's practice on Thursday. With receivers Mike Evans (calf) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) also out on Thursday, the Buccaneers are suddenly extremely banged up at the position heading into a Week 2 divisional clash with the New Orleans Saints. Russell Gage (hamstring) missed practice on... Read More
Rondale Moore Misses Another Practice Thursday
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Andy Isabella (back) also missed a second straight practice, and if both Moore and Isabella are unavailable for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders, we could see bigger roles from Andre Baccellia and tight end Stephen Anderson. Moore injured his... Read More
Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Not Seen At Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (calf) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) were not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday.

Brevin Jordan Expected To Play In Week 2
Houston Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said he thinks tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) will be able to play on Sunday in the Week 2 contest against the Denver Broncos on the road. Jordan popped up on the injured report on Wednesday and was limited in practice with his ankle issue. He played 42 of... Read More
No Setbacks For Michael Gallup Wednesday
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) didn't have any setbacks on Wednesday when he returned to seven-on-seven team drills for the first time since tearing his ACL on Jan. 2, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Gallup will look to build on that activity on Thursday in pads. The 26-year-old was officially listed as... Read More
Luis Robert Out Of The Lineup Against Guardians
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts in two games this week after returning from ongoing hand/wrist issues on Tuesday. He's played in just four games since Aug. 31 because of his injuries and is limping to... Read More
Owen Miller Not Starting Thursday
Cleveland Guardians infielder Owen Miller is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Miller is getting a regular day of rest in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak in which he's gone 10-for-27 (.370) with no homers, two RBI and a run scored. The 25-year-old is now hitting... Read More
Kenneth Walker III Practices In Full On Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) practiced in full Wednesday. He had surgery for a hernia in mid-August and was inactive for Monday's Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos. "Kenny Walker is going to be out there this week for us to add to that, said head coach Pete Carroll. The 21-year-old... Read More
Brandon Bolden Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Before his injury in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Bolden played 28% of the snaps behind starter Josh Jacobs and carried the ball three times for seven yards, adding two receptions for 21 yards... Read More
Damien Williams Unable To Practice Wednesday
Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams (ribs) missed most of the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a rib injury, and he wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. The good news is that Williams was able to return late in the season-opening loss, but he finished with just two carries for two... Read More
Van Jefferson's Status Hasn't Changed Much
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said wide receiver Van Jefferson's (knee) status "is similar to what it has been." Jefferson remains day-to-day, but it sounds like he hasn't made any progress in his rehab from offseason knee surgery. Barring a dramatic change in his status later this week, Jefferson is all but certain... Read More
Mac Jones Practices In Full Wednesday
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice despite dealing with back spasms after the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins. It's a good sign that he'll be available to start in Week 2 this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Barring a setback, the 24-year-old second-year signal-caller... Read More
Jameis Winston On The Week 2 Injury Report
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday with a back injury, which is why he went into the injury tent in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints don't sound too worried about Winston's injury after he went 23-for-34 for 269 yards, two... Read More
