Trey Lance Has Rushing Floor In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will attempt to quiet the doubters when the Seahawks come to Levi's Stadium for a Week 2 divisional matchup. Lance struggled last week against the Bears, finishing as the QB27, but Soldier Field was a sloppy mess from heavy rain. It is likely to rain in San Francisco, too, […]

Aaron Rodgers Looks To Bounce Back Against Chicago

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. After an abysmal fantasy performance in Week 1 against Minnesota, last season's MVP will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup. While Chicago held Trey Lance and the 49ers to 164 passing yards last week, the game was played in, […]

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 […]

Austin Jackson Will Be Put On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that right tackle Austin Jackson (ankle) will be placed on short-term Injured Reserve. Jackson was injured in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots and will now have to miss at least the next four games. The former first-rounder's injury initially wasn't believed to be all […]

Jalen Hurts A Top-Tier Fantasy Option In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Minnesota Vikings Monday night in Philadelphia's home opener. After finishing as the QB4 overall last week in a win over the Detroit Lions, the third-year quarterback will look to continue his hot start in a decent matchup. While Minnesota held Aaron Rodgers in check last week, last […]

Ryan Tannehill A Boom-Or-Bust Play

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill faces a tough matchup against a strong Buffalo Bills defense on Monday Night Football. This means he could be one of the lowest-scoring QBs in Week 2, but there's also a scenario where he booms. If Buffalo gets out to an early commanding lead, Tennessee will be forced to pass […]

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 […]

Jared Goff A Low-End QB2 In Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a low-end QB2 performance against the Eagles, and a similar day can be expected against the Washington Commanders. Goff benefited from a come-from-behind game script last week but still didn't produce monster numbers. The contest against Washington should be a closer game from start to finish, so he should […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Pair Of Touchdowns Thursday Night

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went 24-for-35 for 235 yards in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Mahomes threw a pair of touchdown passes.

Down and Out in Dallas - Fantasy Outlook for the Cowboys Without Dak Prescott

The final minutes of the Sunday Night Football contest between Dallas and Tampa Bay was a quintessential example of injury being added to insult.

Justin Herbert's Injury Doesn't Sound Significant

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told reporters that Justin Herbert (abdomen) is "OK" after the quarterback sustained an injury late in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert took a couple of big but clean hits in the fourth quarter and was clearly in pain for the team's final two drives […]

Justin Herbert Shines In Week 2 Loss, Sustains Injury Late

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was excellent for fantasy yet again in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 33 of 48 pass attempts for 334 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The interception was a costly one as it was thrown at the Chiefs' three yard line and returned for a […]

Derek Carr Looks To Rebound In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will look to put together a better performance in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Carr turned the ball over three times while taking five sacks in the Raiders season opener, leading to a sub-par fantasy output. He will look to bounce back against a Cardinals defense that just […]

Corey Linsley Questionable To Return Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers offensive lineman Corey Linsley (knee) is questionable to return in Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He suffered a knee injury during the second quarter and did not come out with the team during the second half. The 31-year-old logged the major of snaps before injuring his knee. Linsley controls many […]

Mitch Trubisky's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky turned in a pedestrian outing in a 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Trubisky averaged just 5.1 yards per pass attempt in his debut with Pittsburgh in the overtime victory. He will look for a bigger game in Week 2 when he faces off against the New […]

Daniel Jones Set Up For Decent Matchup Against Panthers

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is scheduled to play the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. The former No. 6 overall pick had an efficient performance in Week 1 versus the Tennessee Titans, though, his numbers were underwhelming with 188 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception while completing 17 of his 21 attempts. […]

Trevor Lawrence A Solid Option In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is set to face the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 2. The second-year quarterback threw for 275 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders while posting only 14.4 fantasy points. Even with a perceived tough matchup against the Colts, the Clemson product looked comfortable targeting […]

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 […]

Dak Prescott A Week Away From Activities

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) is at least seven to 10 days away from doing anything. "He needs to heal right now," McCarthy said. Prescott fractured his right thumb in the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had surgery on Monday. The Cowboys aren't putting him […]

David Bakhtiari Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Packers' injury report Wednesday. The All-Pro tackle missed Week 1 as he continued to recover from a torn ACL in his left knee in January 2021. He will look to be a full participant in practice on Thursday or […]
