DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Early)

Our big slate on Saturday has 12 games that DraftKings picked out for us. All are FBS vs. FBS teams, but considering Tulsa and South Florida were horrible in their openers, we've had some better FCS teams on these slates so far. That's not to say there's lack of talent or a lack of good […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Primetime)

Our Saturday prime time slate is a little bit bigger than in week 1. We don't have the top-five matchup that the opening week had, but we do have some intriguing matchups. Oklahoma and Louisville are slumming with 1-AA teams, but we could still find a decent option or two in there. I'm more interested […]

Eric Fisher Ruled Out For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Eric Fisher (Achilles) has been ruled out for the regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The Colts are being cautious with their star tackle as he works his way back from an Achilles injury he sustained in the 2020 postseason. His absence from the o-line only hurts QB Carson Wentz and […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Joe Burrow Back For Sophomore Campaign Versus Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will begin his sophomore season against the visiting Vikings on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Burrow was one of the league's most impactful rookies during the 2020 campaign. However, a left knee injury suffered back in November ended his year. With his first season now behind him, the former LSU […]

Derek Carr Up Against Tough Competition In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr is set to make his 2021 debut on Monday night in a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The 30-year-old didn't play at all during the preseason but has looked strong during practices with starters and backups alike. While typically ranked as a middle-of-the-pack QB, Carr is […]

Trey Lance Good To Go Against Lions

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance (finger) is without an injury designation on the team's final injury report for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, which is an indication that he's good to go for his first NFL contest. Lance was limited in practice all week, but he should be on the active roster […]

Teddy Bridgewater Looking To Make Strong Impression In Debut

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be looking to put his best foot forward in his debut with the team in Week 1 against the New York Giants after he won the QB competition with Drew Lock in training camp and the preseason. Bridgewater has a lot of intriguing weapons in which to work with, […]

La'el Collins Suspended For Five Games

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins has been suspended five games without pay for violating the league's policy and program on substances of abuse, according to a source. While quarterback Dak Prescott had to scramble plenty of times against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers strong defensive line on Thursday night, the Cowboys offensive line did a […]

Deshaun Watson Officially Ruled Out

The Houston Texans officially ruled quarterback Deshaun Watson out for the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson was listed on the injury report as "not injury related." The 25-year-old is likely to be a healthy scratch for the foreseeable future as the legal process plays out surrounding his 22 lawsuits for alleged sexual […]

Evan Engram Out Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) will be held out of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Engram has missed practice time leading up to the season opener, so it is not surprising he will be inactive on Sunday. Kyle Rudolph could be the biggest beneficiary of Engram's absence, as he can potentially […]

Anthony Barr, Christian Darrisaw Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw (groin) have been ruled out for the Week 1 season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Barr has been bothered by a knee injury since early last month, and he played in just two games last year due to a torn pectoral muscle. The 29-year-old made […]

Carson Wentz Will Start Against Seahawks

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will start on Sunday in the Week 1 season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Wentz has been practicing in full this week, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he will start in his first game in a Colts uniform to kick […]

Taylor Decker Looks Set To Miss Week 1

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) looks set to miss the regular season opener on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering a finger injury that kept him out of practice on Thursday. Matt Nelson, who is a converted defensive lineman and the only backup tackle on the team's active roster, is expected […]

Nick Boyle Placed On Short-Term IR

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle (knee) will go on short-term injured reserve, according to head coach John Harbaugh. This means Boyle will be held out of action for a minimum of three weeks and can return in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Boyle is more of a blocking tight end, so the Baltimore […]

Jamison Crowder Out Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) will be held out of the season opener against the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The absence of Crowder means that Corey Davis and rookie Elijah Moore could see an increase in targets as Zach Wilson has built a connection with the two of […]

Emmanuel Sanders Questionable For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is questionable for the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. If Sanders isn't able to suit up in Week 1, this potentially gives Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis more promising outlooks. Beasley and Davis could potentially be on the FLEX […]

You have questions and that's only natural. Inquiring minds want to know what the upcoming football season has in store. There won't be as much uncertainty surrounding the 2021 NFL season as there was in 2020 but there are always questions burning in the back of our minds. Fantasy football is filled with even more […]

Dak Prescott Throws For Over 400 Yards In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an excellent Week 1 performance against the defending champion Tampa Bay Bucs. Despite ultimately ending in a loss, Prescott was simply incredible and showed no signs of the injury that slowed him down and forced him to miss all of the preseason. Dak completed 42 of his 58 pass […]

Tom Brady Tosses For 379 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady finished Thursday's win over Dallas by going 32-for-50 for 379 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks. The 44-year-old didn't look one bit his age on Thursday and showcased why he can still play for multiple years going forward. With a collection of elite receiving weapons, Brady figures to remain […]

Matthew Stafford Looks To Start The Season Strong

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is ready for his first game in a different uniform after 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, and his first opponent is a familiar foe in the Chicago Bears in Week 1. This Rams offense is loaded at the wide receiver position, with Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp as […]

After the Draft: Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Experienced fantasy managers know that once the draft is over, the real work begins. Leagues are often won through the waiver wire, not the draft. It's never too early to start digging for gems that could pay off huge during the coming season. As we will do every week throughout the regular season, we present […]

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB).

Will Grier Inactive For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Will Grier will be inactive in Week 1 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Grier was recently claimed off waivers from the Carolina Panthers and will compete with Cooper Rush for the No. 2 spot behind Dak Prescott throughout the season. Wide receiver Noah Brown, linebacker Luke Gifford, defensive ends Azur Kamara and […]

Trey Lance Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance (finger) remained limited in practice on Thursday. The third overall pick in the 2021 has been dealing with a chip in his finger and had a splint removed on Monday. It's encouraging news that Lance could have a shot to suit up in Week 1 versus the Detroit […]

Giovani Bernard Active, Ke'Shawn Vaughn Headlines Inactives

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn is among the team's inactive players for Thursday's Week 1 matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys. Veteran newcomer Giovani Bernard was listed on the injury report earlier in the week with an ankle injury, but is good to go this evening. Vaughn had a chance to carve out a […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Continue To Put Up Big Numbers In 2021

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is destined for another year as one of the best at his position this season, but will draw a tough Cleveland Browns defense in Week 1. The Browns defense was more vulnerable versus the pass than the run in 2020 with 247.6 yards allowed through the air per game, […]

Mac Jones Has Tough Assignment For Debut

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones won the starting spot with his impressive performance during the preseason. That means, the rookie quarterback will be the starter going forward with veteran Cam Newton being released. The 15th overall pick held his own in the preseason, but that also wasn't against first string defensive players. It's also […]
