Inside the Tent - Week 2 NFL Injury Insight

Well, well, well, Week 1 sure was a whirlwind. If the entire 2018 season is anything like Week 1, we're in for a good one ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, some fantasy-relevant players were banged up and fantasy owners suffered as a result. With that being said, if the season is indeed like Week 1, then […]

LeSean McCoy Should Be A Solid RB2 Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy should see more usage in the Bills Week 2 game against the Chargers. McCoy only saw seven carriers for 22 yards last week against the Ravens. He comes in against a suspect Chargers defense, that is missing star pass rusher Joey Bosa. With a rookie making his first career […]

Adrian Peterson Looks To Keep It Rolling

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson will make his home debut in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts. He just missed hitting the century mark in rushing yardage last week in Arizona, galloping 96 yards on 26 carries while finding the end zone once. He also added two grabs for 70 yards. It wasn't all […]

Sony Michel Has A Chance To Play

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) made a lot of progress this week to the point where he has given himself a chance to be active for his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Jaguars, according to a source. That doesn't mean that he'll be active, though, and we'll have to […]

Rex Burkhead Travels With Team

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (concussion) made progress this week and traveled with the team to Jacksonville for Week 2, according to a source. All signs point to Burkhead being active, but James White could see most of the work in this one. Rookie Sony Michel (knee) is also trending toward playing, but […]

Chris Thompson Bumps Up To RB2/3 For Week 2

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson is primed for a big game versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Thompson was fantastic in Week 1, as he compiled 128 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown against Arizona. He totaled 65 yards on five carries as he broke four of the runs for 10 or more yards. […]

Brandon Wilds Promoted To Active Roster

The Jacksonville Jaguars promoted running back Brandon Wilds from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday and cut wide receiver Rashad Greene in a corresponding move. This could be a sign that Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will not play in Week 2 against the Patriots. If Fournette sits, T.J. Yeldon will be the main […]

Rashaad Penny Will Keep Getting Opportunities

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny had a rough pro debut when he carried the ball seven times for just eight yards in Week 1, but offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told reporters that he has no concerns about Penny's long-term outlook. He made it clear that Penny will continue to get looks even though Chris […]

Chris Carson Could Have Bigger Week Against Bears

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson was quite successful in his limited carries in Week 1, and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told reporters this week that he'll have to work on balancing the offense more. This supposed recommitment to the run game would almost certainly benefit Carson, whose performance against the Broncos clearly established that […]

Marcus Cannon Unlikely To Play

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (calf) will take an impressive improvement in order to play through a calf injury in Week 2 against the Jaguars, according to a source. The team is preparing LaAdrian Waddle to play this week if Cannon can't suit up. If Cannon doesn't play on Sunday, it'll be a […]

Week 2 Consistency Report

Finding consistency in fantasy sports is hugely important if you want to have a shot at winning your leagues. Players with high variability week-to-week have their purpose, but if you rely too much on them you are going to find yourself frustrated some weeks. If fantasy football had roto style leagues like baseball, or you […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 3 Edition)

Week three is here and we're starting to get into the matchups that will decide the playoff, this year. We have big-time non-conference games and some conference openers between meaningful teams. As an admitted Ohio State homer, I'm excited to see the top 15 matchup between the Buckeyes and TCU. But I'm also very intrigued […]

Joe Mixon To Have Surgery Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) is scheduled to have a cleanup procedure on his knee on Saturday, and he is expected to be sidelined for two weeks, according to a source. Mixon is dealing with a small particle in his knee that was dislodged on Thursday night. Cincinnati is set to face Carolina […]

Phillip Lindsay Should Be Fine To Play

Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday, indicating that he should be fine to play for Week 2 against the Raiders. Alongside fellow rookie Royce Freeman, Lindsay was the more impressive back in the season opener, running 15 times for 71 yards and catching […]

DeAndre Washington, Dwayne Harris Questionable

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington (knee) and wide receiver Dwayne Harris (foot) were limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Broncos. Both players are buried on the depth chart and wouldn't even be locks to be active if they were fully healthy.

Marshawn Lynch, Brandon LaFell Not On Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) and wide receiver Brandon LaFell (back) both practiced in full on Friday and were taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Broncos. Lynch will typically show up on the injury report, but he usually plays. He'll be a volume-based RB2/3 against Denver. LaFell was […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Taken Off Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Patriots. ASF will play this weekend but isn't a recommended starting fantasy tight end after catching only three passes in the season opener in an excellent matchup. Running back T.J. […]

Joe Mixon May Need Surgery On Knee

The Cincinnati Bengals are fearful that running back Joe Mixon (knee) will need arthroscopic surgery to clean up the knee that he injured in the Week 2 win over the Ravens on Thursday, according to sources. Mixon will receive a second opinion first. The team's top back would obviously miss some time if he has […]

Leonard Fournette's Status Not Looking Good

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette's (hamstring) status for Week 2 against the Patriots isn't looking good. The Jaguars are listing him as questionable for this weekend, but he seems unlikely to play. Fournette was unable to get in a practice all week. This is likely to come down to a game-time decision, but with […]

Devonta Freeman Will Not Play In Week 2

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will not play on Sunday in Week 2 against the Panthers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The Falcons are hoping this isn't a long-term injury, but nothing structurally wrong was found in Freeman's knee. You can officially bench Freeman this week, and there's […]

Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel Questionable For Week 2

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the Jaguars. With both backs putting in multiple days of limited practice, our best guess is that they will both be active, alongside James White. Burkhead remains the preferred […]

LeGarrette Blount, Ezekiel Ansah Questionable

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Friday but are questionable for Week 2 against the 49ers. Blount played very few snaps in a blowout loss in Week 1. He should be able to suit up and should be more involved, but both […]

David Johnson Practices In Full

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) practiced in full on Friday and labeled himself "100 percent" after being limited earlier in the week. All signs are pointing toward him being active against the Rams in Week 2. As long as Johnson is on the field on game days, he'll be a must-start for fantasy […]

Andre Smith Won't Play In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals right tackle Andre Smith (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Rams. This is bad news for the Cardinals offense all around against a strong pass rush of the LA Rams. While running back David Johnson remains a top-five play at his position, the Cardinals could have to abandon the […]

Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin Both Out

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) and right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's never good news when both your left and right tackles are out, especially when they are as good as both Lewan and Conklin. It's […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will work in a split with Kenyan Drake in Week 2 against the Jets. The Jets are a tough run defense and they ranked number 11 in rush defense DVOA last season. They also allowed just 39 yards on the ground in Week 1. Gore rushed for 61 yards […]

Kenyan Drake A Borderline RB2 in Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is facing uncertainty in the amount of touches he will receive in Week 2. He got 17 touches last week (14 carries, three catches) but only tallied 66 total yards and was outperformed on the ground by Frank Gore. Drake is the younger and more versatile back, but the […]

Trai Turner, Curtis Samuel Ruled Out

Carolina Panthers offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Falcons. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd (knee) was also ruled out. With Turner out, the Panthers are also missing left tackle Matt Kalil and right tackle Daryl Williams. […]

C.J. Anderson, Luke Kuechly Off Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson (illness) and linebacker Luke Kuechly (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Falcons. Both players were never in any danger of missing action this weekend. Anderson is the clear No. 2 to Christian McCaffrey and is a […]

Marlon Mack Questionable For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 2 against the Redskins. Everything points to Mack making his season debut this weekend, but he could still be a game-time decision. It's unclear how Indy's backfield will shake out if he returns, but Mack should see decent […]
