FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 2 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 1 began with the Bills handling the Rams on Thursday night. On Sunday, the excitement continued, with the Browns narrowly defeating Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers. Of course, then there was the injury to long-snapper Clark Harris, causing issues in Cincinnati's kicking game and allowing the Steelers to pick up an overtime win. […]

Running Back Fantasy Football Outlooks: Week 2 Lowdown For Jamaal Williams, Jeff Wilson Jr., Khalil Herbert

Unsurprisingly, Week 1 didn't end without having its share of banged-up players, many of which are essential components of fantasy lineups. On the other hand, a handful in of performers emerged and took on a more prominent role than most had foreseen, doing so despite the availability of those above them on the depth chart. […]

D'Andre Swift Listed As Questionable For Week 2

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) is questionable for Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Campbell also said that Swift will practice "a little bit" on Friday after he sat out on Wednesday and Thursday. Swift rolled his ankle in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, […]

Lions Defense A Weak Option Against Washington

The Detroit Lions defense/special teams came into the season as one of the worst-ranked units in fantasy football, and for good reason. The defense gave up 38 points against the Philadelphia Eagles and isn't attractive in any matchup. The Washington Commanders offense led by quarterback Carson Wentz looked fairly explosive in the season opener, so […]

Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 2

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert doesn't have much appeal in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Kickers are tough to predict and any kicker can boom or bust any week, but since Seibert doesn't have a strong resume of fantasy production, there are plenty of options to consider before inserting him into fantasy lineups. The […]

T.J. Hockenson A Solid Tight End Play

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson posted just 7.8 PPR points in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, fantasy managers who drafted him probably took him as a top-eight tight end, so it's too early to panic and bench him. Ultimately, his upside still places him as a top ten tight end play, at […]

D.J. Chark Has Appeal In Deep Leagues

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark scored a touchdown in his Lions debut and was clearly ahead of Josh Reynolds in the pecking order. However, his eight targets yielded just four receptions for 52 yards, so it's too early to consider him a strong "fool-proof" fantasy starter. In deep leagues, he's a fine flex option, […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown A Must-Start in Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is a must-start moving forward after his 12-target game in Week 1. The Washington Commanders gave up 117 yards on six receptions to Christian Kirk from the slot, so St. Brown could be in for a similar day. Detroit might not be as pass-happy as it was in […]

Jamaal Williams Has Flex Appeal In Week 2

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams scored two touchdowns against the Philadelphia Eagles but wasn't an efficient runner or receiver in the contest. He could be a touchdown-or-bust guy, meaning his attractiveness as a flex play is dependent on the size of the fantasy league. However, if D'Andre Swift (ankle) is inactive against the Washington […]

D'Andre Swift A Top RB Play If Active

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift is apparently dealing with an ankle injury, but all indications are it's not a worrisome or major ailment. He reportedly rolled his ankle in the loss to the Eagles, so there's a solid chance he could be good to go for Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Washington gave […]

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 […]

Week 2 NFL Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

It was a decent start to the NFL season for me from a DFS prognostication standpoint. My Jalen Hurts-to-A.J. Brown advice was sound, Miami’s passing attack played well, Michael Thomas looked strong, and Saquon Barkley ended up exceeding expectations. However, none of my lineups had all the right pieces fit together, so I didn't have […]

The […]

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

The 26-year-old former […]

Is Dameon Pierce or Rex Burkhead the Houston Texans Starting RB?

Houston Texans running backs Dameon Pierce and Rex Burkhead were candidates to be the Texans' RB1 in 2022 throughout the offseason, and although Pierce looked to have a clear leg up, Week 1 has muddied the situation. Fantasy managers usually root for the young rookie to supplant the "boring" and "unexciting" veteran, but that's not […]
