Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed five times for 16 yards against the New England Patriots on Sunday. He also hauled in his lone target for 16 yards through the air.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoTyreek Hill Commands A Dozen Targets Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill totaled 12 targets, eight catches and 94 yards in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He led the team in all three of those categories. Hill was the clear No. 1 receiving option in the Miami offense and has quickly earned quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's trust. He should be […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle turned five targets into four catches, 69 yards, and one touchdown during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoMike Gesicki Underwhelms In Week 1 Outing
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in his lone target for just one yard during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. His lack of involvement wasn't a major surprise considering Miami's weapons and New England's strong safety room, but his final stat line was still lower than expected. Next […]

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoDarius Slayton A Healthy Scratch Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. This news isn't a major surprise considering the Giants have a relatively deep wide receiver room consisting of Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, Sterling Shepard, and Wan'Dale Robinson. Of that group, Toney has the most fantasy value, but […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoKayvon Thibodeaux, Azeez Ojulari Inactive For Week 1
New York Giants linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Their absences could prove to be quite negative for the New York defense, all while giving the Titans' playmakers some additional fantasy value. Specifically, this news bodes well for the outlooks of Ryan Tannehill […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoJ.J. Watt Officially Inactive For Week 1
Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is inactive for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The star pass-rusher did not practice this week.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoJ.C. Jackson Inactive Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and running back Isaiah Spiller (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoDavid Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins Officially Inactive Sunday
Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and right tackle Elgton Jenkins (pectoral, knee) are both officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoRonald Jones Not Suiting Up Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. He did not enter this weekend with an injury designation, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, and Isiah Pacheco will be active. It's a hard backfield to figure […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoTrey McBride Won't Play Week 1
Arizona Cardinals rookie tight end Trey McBride is inactive for Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had not been given an injury designation beforehand, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old will ride the bench while Zach Ertz, Maxx Williams, and Stephen Anderson suit up. Of the three active tight […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoAllen Lazard Officially Inactive
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) is officially inactive for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect Robert Tonyan, Aaron […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoJa'Wuan James Suffers Serious Ankle Injury
Baltimore Ravens tackle Ja'Wuan James suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 1 and is doubtful to return. This is brutal news for a Baltimore offensive line that was already without Ronnie Stanley (ankle). As a result, fantasy managers should expect a slight decrease in production from the Ravens' playmakers, including quarterback Lamar Jackson and […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoElijah Mitchell Ruled Out With Knee Injury
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. He rushed six times for 41 yards before exiting.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoTee Higgins Being Evaluated For Concussion
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return. He hauled in two passes for 27 yards before exiting.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoDamien Williams Exits With Rib Injury
Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams suffered a rib injury in the first quarter of Sunday's season opener versus the New Orleans Saints. He is questionable to return.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoJulio Jones Displays Speed In Training Camp
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones "clocked the fastest time of any player on his team during training camp practices," according to Ian Rapoport. Evidently, even as Jones' age increases, his speed remains quite impressive. The veteran wideout should use his speed to his advantage, getting open and racking up YAC in 2022. He's […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoTrey Sermon Not Suiting Up Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles running back Trey Sermon is a healthy scratch for Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions. This is no surprise considering the Eagles have plenty of trust in their three-headed backfield of Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell, and Boston Scott. Sermon garnered plenty of hype with the 49ers as a rookie last season, but […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoTrey Lance Has No Leash In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is not being held back as he begins his journey as the team's starter. As Ian Rapoport of NFL.com notes, Lance has "no leash" heading into Week 1 versus the Chicago Bears. He has significant upside as a potential QB1 finisher in 2022, but his value could be capped […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoLogan Thomas Suiting Up In Week 1
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) is officially active for Week 1 again the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was expected, but it's still refreshing to receive confirmation from the team.

Andersen Pickard 2 years agoVelus Jones Jr. Officially Inactive For Week 1
Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie did not practice at all this week and, as a result, was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. His absence should lead to a bump in target for Equanimeous St. Brown and Byron […]
Andersen Pickard 2 years agoTyler Allgeier Inactive For Week 1
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Tyler Allgeier is inactive for Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. The BYU product hasn't been dealing with an injury, so it appears he's a healthy scratch.
