Tua Tagovailoa Leads Dolphins To Week 1 Victory

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 23 of 33 passes for 270 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. He didn't have a great fantasy performance, but he did his job by limiting turnovers and leading Miami to a 1-0 record. Most importantly, we now have […]

Darius 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 […]

Kayvon 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 […]

J.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. His absence, although expected, will hurt the Cardinals' defense in a big clash with the Chiefs. At the same time, the news could bode well for the fantasy values of […]

J.C. Jackson Inactive Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as doubtful, though there was some optimism that he might be able to play. Instead, the Chargers will hold him out at least one more week (and perhaps two if he can't handle […]

Donald Parham Jr., Isaiah Spiller Officially Inactive For Week 1

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. Parham's absence means that Tre' McKitty will be the lone backup behind Gerald Everett. Meanwhile, in the backfield, Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel will fill depth roles behind […]

David 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. The absences of these two talented linemen could limit quarterback Aaron Rodgers' comfort in the pocket, as well as hinder the effectiveness of running backs Aaron Jones and AJ […]

Ronald 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 […]

Trey 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 […]

Allen Lazard Officially Inactive

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) is officially inactive for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. This comes as no surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful entering the weekend. In his absence, Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs will serve as the top wide receivers. Expect Robert Tonyan, Aaron […]

Ja'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 […]

Elijah 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. Jeff Wilson and Jordan Mason will round out the backfield for the remainder of the contest, but Deebo Samuel should also continue to […]

Tee Higgins Downgraded To Out

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been ruled out with a concussion. He exited Sunday's game after catching two passes for 27 yards and will now miss the remainder of the contest. He had initially been listed as questionable before being downgraded. Tyler Boyd will step up as the No. 2 receiver behind Ja'Marr […]

Tee 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. Although the designation leaves the door open for Higgins to return, Cincinnati will surely exercise caution considering it's only Week 1. If Higgins is forced to miss […]

Damien 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. The news leaves Cordarrelle Patterson as the Falcons' lone running back since Tyler Allgeier was a healthy scratch. Fullback Keith Smith could also get involved out of […]

Julio 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 […]

Trey 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 […]

Trey 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 […]

Logan 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. With a relatively tough matchup on tap, Thomas falls into the mid-to-low TE2 range. His fantasy success is likely dependent on a touchdown, something that […]

Velus 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 […]

Tyler 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. Allgeier drew plenty of hype this past offseason since he was a candidate to emerge as the starter in a relatively weak […]

Michael Thomas Officially Active For Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) is officially active for Week 1 despite being listed as questionable. He has some appeal with a divisional matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on tap, but fantasy managers should approach the situation with caution considering Thomas hasn't played in a regular season game since Week 14 back […]

Drake London Officially Active For Week 1

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Week 1. Despite being listed as questionable, he's good to go for his NFL debut against the New Orleans Saints. In a thin wide receiver room, London has a chance to make an immediate splash. He and Kyle Pitts figure to headline the […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Inactive In Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a healthy scratch for Week 1 versus the Cleveland Browns. Acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars in August, Shenault presumably didn't have enough time to get up to speed between the trade and now. Even if Shenault is active next week, he doesn't have much fantasy appeal. DJ […]

Danny Gray Inactive For Season Opener

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Danny Gray is a healthy inactive for Week 1 versus the Chicago Bears. He joins tight end George Kittle and running back Tyrion Davis-Price on the list of skill position players who won't suit up for the contest. Gray had an impressive summer, headlined by a 99-yard performance in […]

Tom Brady Expected To Retire After This Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is expected to play his final season of football in 2022, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Brady retired and then unretired this past offseason, and spending one more year in the NFL would allow him to achieve his goal of playing until he is 45 years old. "He has […]

Lamar Jackson Turns Down $290 Million Offer

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson recently declined a massive six-year, $290 million contract that included $133 million fully guaranteed at signing, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Jackson would have received $48.3 million per year, but he did not want to agree to a deal that was not fully guaranteed. While the extension did include more […]

J.C. Jackson Could Miss Two Games

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson, listed as questionable following ankle surgery, is not expected to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Schefter also notes that the Chargers have a short week on deck, so Jackson could miss Thursday Night Football versus the Kansas City Chiefs, […]

Is Irv Smith Jr. Healthy or Injured? Should I Start Smith for Week 1 Fantasy Football?

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (thumb) was drafted back in 2019 but hasn't quite emerged as a fantasy contributor due to his position on the depth chart, as well as injuries. He finished as a low-end TE2 while operating behind Kyle Rudolph in 2020, catching 30 passes for 365 yards and five scores, […]
