Pass Rush vs QB Matchups to Watch - Week 2
Week 1 saw a lot of offenses struggle to start the season due to a lack of work together in the preseason. Defenses took advantage, and they were teeing off on quarterbacks. In Week 2, there are some matchups where quarterbacks are definitely going to get knocked around at least 10 times in the game. […]
Week 2 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings
Week 1 was a lot of fun. Put quite simply win or lose it is just a great feeling to have football back. However, winning always helps make the return even better, so hopefully, you had some success with your DFS lineups last week. This week we have a monster 13 game main slate as […]
Week 2 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings
Week 1 in the NFL brought a few surprises to fantasy owners, especially those in DFS. Players like Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins were low-owned options but turned out to be tournament winners for some. In a week in which we thought that the upper echelon players in the league would come out ready to […]
Cam Robinson, A.J. Bouye Ruled Out Against Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone has ruled out left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (hip) for Week 2 against the Texans. Rookie Gardner Minshew could be in trouble with the team's starting blind-side protector out, and J.J. Watt and company on the Texans Defense could have a field day in Week […]
Andy Dalton To Be Without Left Tackle
Cincinnati Bengals starting left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the 49ers for the second straight week. It's a downgrade for Cincy's already shaky offensive line and quarterback Andy Dalton. San Francisco's defense showed improvement in Week 1 against the Buccaneers, and pass-rushers Dee Ford and rookie Nick Bosa […]
Joe Haden, Maurkice Pouncey Questionable Against Seahawks
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (shoulder) and center Maurkice Pouncey (ankle) are both questionable for Week 2 against the Seahawks, although both were able to practice in full on Friday. It looks like both players are trending toward playing. Pittsburgh needs Haden active after being torched through the air by the Patriots in Week 1. […]
Patrick Mahomes May Be Without Eric Fisher Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (groin) was injured in practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Raiders. The most likely replacement if Fisher is inactive would be backup Cam Erving, who started on the blind side the last time Fisher missed a start back in the 2017 […]
Patrick Mahomes is an Elite Option for Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn't appear to have missed a beat from last season. He threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over the Jaguars in Week 1. He is expected to play even better against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. The Raiders secondary is banged up, so Mahomes […]
Aaron Rodgers May Not Have David Bakhtiari On Sunday
Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (back) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Vikings. Rodgers would still be a QB1 for fantasy owners should Bakhtiari not play, but he could also struggle to post Rodgers-like numbers like he did in Week 1 against the Bears. The Vikings Defense and pass rush […]
Matthew Stafford May Be Without Blind-Side Protector
Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (back) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Chargers. If Decker isn't able to play, quarterback Matthew Stafford could see plenty of pressure from Chargers pass-rushers Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa. Receivers Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones could also be in for a tough day, while slot […]
Dolphins Place Julie'n Davenport On Injured Reserve
The Miami Dolphins placed offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee, leg) on Injured Reserve on Friday, but he's a candidate to return later this season. Davenport came over to Miami in the trade that sent Laremy Tunsil to the Texans, and he started at right tackle in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens. It's […]
Sam Darnold Won't Go On Injured Reserve
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is not a candidate to go on Injured Reserve while he deals with mononucleosis. Darnold was quickly ruled out for Monday night against the Browns and could also miss Week 3. Trevor Siemian will get the start in Week 2 against Cleveland […]
Baker Mayfield a Low-End QB1 in Week 2
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will be looking to erase the memories of his poor performance in Week 1 when the team takes on the New York Jets on Monday night in Week 2. Mayfield was not at his finest last week, throwing three interceptions including a pick-six in the 43-13 loss to the Tennessee […]
Gardner Minshew Has Good Matchup In Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw just three incompletions in his NFL debut against the Chiefs in Week 1, and he'll look to keep that efficiency going against a weak Houston Texans secondary in Week 2. The Texans allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to a quarterback in Week 1 and struggle to defend down the […]
FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 9/14/19 (Late Slate)
Hopefully you're coming here after a very successful morning slate! It's a fun day of college football and the night gets even better. With that said, it's a much simpler slate with just seven games. There are a few more dynamic QB's to consider and a few value guys worth looking at. In this article, […]
Gang Green ER: Are the Jets a Fantasy Wasteland Now?
Yesterday was a tough day for New York Jets fans. Actually, it's not been a good week overall, even less if we account for what happened on Sunday when the team fell to Buffalo to start the season on the losing column. The past few days have brought news of multiple injuries and problems to […]
Deshaun Watson Faces Intriguing Matchup In Week 2
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2, a matchup that's tough to draw conclusions from early in this NFL season. Jacksonville has been one of the NFL's best defenses for the past two years, a fact that would ordinarily limit Watson's upside and make him a low-end QB1. But the […]
Matt Ryan Should Rebound Against Eagles In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan ended up with a decent final line in Week 1, but the journey to getting there was anything but pretty. Ryan's Falcons were shut out for three quarters in the season opener against the Vikings, but a fourth quarter surge allowed Ryan to finish the day with 304 passing yards, […]
Josh Allen A Sneaky Start For Week 2
After an ugly Week 1 outing that featured four turnovers, fantasy owners might be understandably apprehensive to start Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in Week 2. However, heading into a favorable matchup against a Giants Defense that got torched by Dak Prescott for over 400 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1, Allen could very […]
Jameis Winston Plays Better In Week 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played better in Week 2 against the Panthers. After a miserable performance in Week 1 against the 49ers, the 25-year-old semi-turned things around on Thursday by compiling 208 yards and a touchdown on 16-for-25 passing. Nonetheless, Winston has still fallen below fantasy expectations even though hopes were high entering […]
Cam Newton Still Without A Touchdown
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton went 24-for-50, racking up 324 yards in the loss to the Bucs on Thursday night. Though the veteran wasn't able to throw for a touchdown (again), his accumulation of yards through the air was enough to satisfy the fantasy managers who kept him in their lineups despite his average showings […]
Marcus Mariota Gets Favorable Week 2 Matchup
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has a solid opportunity to build upon his impressive Week 1 performance with a favorable home matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota, who threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns a week ago, now faces the Colts Defense who gave up 333 yards passing against the Los Angeles Chargers in […]
Case Keenum An Unsafe Bet For Week 2
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is coming off an impressive Week 1 outing, but a repeat against the Cowboys would be surprising. For starters, there is the obvious disadvantage of playing behind an offensive line that will be hard-pressed to stop Demarcus Lawrence on the pass rush. His receivers are also going to have to […]
Julie'n Davenport Could Go On IR
The Miami Dolphins are considering placing offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee) on the Injured Reserve. However, there's still a chance that Davenport could come back this year if he goes on IR. It would just be more bad news for an offensive line that already traded their best talent, Laremy Tunsil, to the Texans. Miami's […]
Kirk Cousins A Low-End QB2 Against Packers
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was a fantasy disappointment in Week 1, passing for just 98 yards on a career-low 10 attempts against the Falcons. His low-usage was due to the Vikes being up early, and it's far more likely that Cousins will need to throw more against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. […]
Trevor Siemian To Start For Jets
New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian will start for the Jets Monday night against the Browns. Starter Sam Darnold (illness) has already been ruled out for the game and likely will miss the game against the Patriots in Week 3 as well. Siemian started 24 games for Denver in 2016 and 2017 throwing for only […]
Aaron Rodgers In Line For Solid Production
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in line for solid, but unremarkable production with the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers struggled last week in a low scoring matchup against the Chicago Bears and looked rusty in parts. Part of the struggle was the running game struggling to get moving, with the new offense […]
Nick Foles Targeting Week 11 Return
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) is loosely targeting a Week 11 return, according to a source. Depending on how his bone heals, it's expected to be around a 10- to 12-week recovery. You are only holding onto Foles if you're in a league that starts two quarterbacks. In his absence, rookie Gardner Minshew will […]
Mitch Trubisky Not A Strong Option In Week 2
Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky's season is already under the microscope when he takes the field in Denver against the Broncos in Week 2. The third-year quarterback came into the season with plenty of doubters but few saw the depths of poor play in which Trubisky could take his game. After a terrible performance against […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Needs To Rebound From Clunker
The San Francisco 49ers need quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to rebound in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Garoppolo looked very shaky in Week 1, playing his first regular season game since suffering a torn ACL last season. Garoppolo squares off against a surprisingly frisky Bengals Defense that recorded four sacks last weekend against the Seattle […]
