Jamison Crowder To Be Game-Time Decision

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) will be a game-time decision for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been held out of back-to-back games to begin the season, so it is probably best to leave him out of fantasy lineups even if he is active […]

Curtis Samuel Could Practice Next Week

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) could be returning to practice next week, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Samuel has been dealing with this nagging issue since minicamp in June and re-aggravated it prior to the season opener, leading to him being placed on injured reserve. "He's had a good, solid week. […]

Danny Amendola Among Texans Inactives

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) will be among the team's inactives in Week 3 versus the Carolina Panthers. Amendola has been dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out past Week 3. Cornerback Justin Reid, quarterback Deshaun Watson, tight end Brevin Jordan, defensive back Terrance Mitchell, defensive lineman Jordan Jenkins […]

Ben Roethlisberger Practices On A Limited Basis Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) was upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after he did not participate in Wednesday's session. Roethlisberger being upgraded bodes well for his availability for Week 3's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. It remains to be seen just how effectively the 39-year-old quarterback can throw against Cincy but he […]

Carson Wentz Misses Another Practice

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankle) missed another practice on Thursday. Wentz has been an adequate game manager for the Colts thus far, but projects to miss time due to injury. Backup quarterback Jacob Eason would replace Wentz if he in fact misses time. Eason's sloppy play in Week 2 doesn't pose much of a […]

Early-Season Fantasy Realities and Illusions: The Engel Eye

With just two weeks completed in the 2021 fantasy football season, we are still getting a feel for some emerging player trends. It may be too early to panic on some established standouts who are not quite performing up to expectations, while some surprise players out of the gate still have to prove themselves more […]

Jumping Ship on Bad Offenses?

Sometimes, a bad offense can sink a good player. It happens every year. In 2020, for instance, the Bengals scored the fourth-fewest points in the NFL. Tyler Boyd was targeted 10 times, but only finished with 841 yards and four touchdowns, dropping almost 10 yards per game over his 2019 numbers despite a catch rate […]

Regardless of your current record, there is work to be done. There is no perfect roster. Each fantasy lineup has weak spots and fantasy managers cannot become […]

Which Rookie QB Will Be Best in Fantasy? Head of the Class

We all know the names. From Trevor Lawrence to Mac Jones, five of the first 15 picks in the 2021 NFL draft were at the quarterback position. The big difference is the situations in which each player was drafted. Were they drafted to the worst team in the league (Jacksonville)? Or were they taken by […]

Lamar Jackson Misses Practice Due To Illness

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) missed practice Thursday due to a stomach bug. Speculation circled that his missed practice was due to a hip injury that he suffered during his touchdown flip into the end zone against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it turns out that it was a non-COVID-19 illness. Jackson will "be […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 3 Vs. Chicago

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield showed impressive accuracy in Week 2, misfiring on just two of 21 pass attempts in a win over the Houston Texans. Mayfield is completing 81.6% of his pass attempts through two games while throwing one touchdown and two interceptions. Mayfield draws a modestly difficult matchup at home against the Chicago […]

Lamar Jackson Misses Thursday's Practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) wasn't present for Thursday's practice. On Wednesday, the Ravens quarterback said that his hip was sore from his TD flip Sunday's win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Justin Herbert Will Look To Break Out In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will look to finally break out in a potential shootout contest versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.

Thursday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Panthers vs Texans

Happy Thursday, Rotoballers! Week three is here already, as we're cruising through this season.

Patrick Mahomes Remains A QB1 In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will once again be a QB1 in a Week 3 battle versus the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense has only allowed 186 yards per game through the air this season, but much of that can be due to the fact that the Washington Football Team only attempted 21 […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Matt Ryan Tough To Trust In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will take on the New York Giants in Week 3. Ryan was awful in Week 1 but started to show signs of a bounce-back the following week against Tampa Bay, throwing for 300 yards and two scores, though it ended in disappointment after he fired three interceptions. The veteran signal-caller […]

Mac Jones A Low-End QB2 Versus Saints

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has put together a fairly slow start to begin his NFL career. He has one passing touchdown and didn't surpass 200 yards against a horrendous Jets secondary in Week 2. His chances of throwing a touchdown won't get easier against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Last season, […]

Brett Hundley An Option For Colts In Week 3?

Indianapolis Colts practice-squad quarterback Brett Hundley took the majority of the starter's repetitions in practice on Wednesday, and he and Jacob Eason could both see action in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans with Carson Wentz (ankles) unlikely to be able to play. There is still hope that Wentz can play, but the Colts are […]

Colts Preparing As If Carson Wentz Won't Play

The Indianapolis Colts are approaching a big divisional game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 as if quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) won't play after he sprained both of his ankles in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Wentz didn't practice on Wednesday, but more importantly, he didn't even take part in […]

Jacoby Brissett Not On Streaming Radar

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett will draw the start against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will miss at least this game and possibly more time.

Ryan Tannehill A Borderline QB1 Against The Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a borderline starter in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
