Free-agent linebackers Jason Pierre-Paul and Blake Martinez are visiting the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.

Justin Jefferson Catches Six Passes For 48 Yards In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught six of his 12 targets for 48 yards in Monday night's 24-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball six times for 17 yards and caught four passes for 19 yards in Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Cardinals Defense Scores Game-Winning Touchdown In Week 2

The Arizona Cardinals' defense came up huge in Week 2 as they returned a forced fumble in overtime to the end zone en route to a 29-23 victory. Despite their huge play, they recorded just one sack and allowed 243 yards through the air and 80 yards on the ground, so they don't look like […]

Marquise Brown Catches Six Passes In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown caught six passes for 68 yards on 11 targets in the team's comeback victory in Week 2.

Darrel Williams Finds The End Zone In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams carried the ball eight times for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Football Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint: Dameon Pierce, Brandin Cooks, James Robinson, Pat Freiermuth

Welcome to Week 2 RotoBallers!

Heading into the second week of action, it is […]

Matt Prater A Starting Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is a solid option in Week 2 in what could be a high-scoring affair with the Las Vegas Raiders. He didn't attempt a field goal in Week 1, but that was expected when the Cardinals went down by multiple possessions early in the game. The 38-year-old was a decent option […]

Cardinals Defense Draws Another Tough Matchup In Week 2

The Arizona Cardinals defense will have their hands full once again in Week 2 as they take on Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, and company.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch could have some solid upside in Week 2 after a strong performance in the season opener. The 24-year-old led the team in targets with nine, turning it into seven catches for 63 yards. With Rondale Moore (hamstring) unlikely to play again, Dortch will take on the slot receiver role […]

Marquise Brown A Solid Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown will look to build on a solid start to the season after catching a touchdown in his Cardinals debut.

James Conner A High-End RB2 In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner will look to build off a solid start to the season after he totaled five receptions, 55 total yards, and a touchdown in Week 1.

Kyler Murray A Solid QB1 Option In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will look to lead his team to a bounce-back effort in Week 2 as they travel to Las Vegas. The dual-threat will take on the Raiders' defense that allowed 279 passing yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, so Murray is in a solid spot to put up strong fantasy […]

Vikings Defense Draws Tough Matchup In Week 2

The Minnesota Vikings defense will look to slow down the high-powered Philadelphia Eagles offense in Week 2 after holding Aaron Rodgers and company to just seven points in the season opener. Jalen Hurts led the Eagles' offense to 38 points in Week 1, so the Vikings' defense is in for a challenge as they face […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Option In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph looks like a solid starting option for fantasy managers in Week 2. Joseph was perfect in the season opener, as he converted all three of his field goal attempts and both extra points. In what could be a high-scoring matchup with two good offenses clashing, the 28-year-old should get some […]

Irv Smith Jr. A TE2 In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. will look to bounce back in Week 2 after seeing just two targets on 19 snaps in the season opener. Tight end Johnny Mundt out-snapped him, but head coach Kevin O'Connell mentioned this week that Smith Jr. would play "a major role" for the team. The 24-year-old figures […]

Dalvin Cook A High-End RB1 In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is primed for a big game on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Cook amassed 108 scrimmage yards in the season opener but wasn't able to […]

Kirk Cousins Has QB1 Appeal In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has some streaming appeal in Week 2 as he faces off with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Cousins has been a notoriously poor performer on Monday night primetime games, but the new pass-heavy offense he operates in should set him up for fantasy success against an Eagles defense that […]
