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 […]

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.

DJ Moore - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

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.

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.

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 2

The one thing fantasy football players can't help but do after Week 1 is overreact. We all do it. Except you. You don't overreact; you take advantage of those that do. The next few days leading up to Week 2 represent the best time all season to capitalize on buy opportunities for players who were […]

Joshua Kelley - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Gerald Everett - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett will look to build off his success in Week 1 in a Week 2 divisional matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Joshua Palmer Is An Exciting Week 2 Option

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was a non-factor in Week 1, but will likely operate as the team's clear WR2 in a Week 2 clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. With Keenan Allen (hamstring) ruled out, Palmer's opportunity to validate the preseason hype he received has arrived. In one contest without Allen last […]

Mike Williams Has Big Opportunity In Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams only garnered two receptions on four targets in Week 1 but should be primed for a much greater opportunity in Week 2 with Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined.
