Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 2

With so much roster turnover in the NFL each year, it can be especially difficult to predict outcomes in opening-week matchups.

Gerald Everett Expected To Play In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (back) was questionable heading into the team's Week 2 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is expected to play through that injury. Prior to his injury in the 2019 season, he was averaging just over nine PPR points per game. After being a non-factor in Week 1, the […]

Gerald Everett Questionable For Week 2

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (back) is questionable heading into the team's Week 2 matchup. Everett was listed as a full participant in practice on Friday.

Re-Shaping NFL Depth Charts with Week 1 Snap Count Data

A common complaint heading into Week 1 was that some NFL teams had posted depth charts that felt a little...off. Some teams didn't have 11 starters. Some had guys who we knew were in for big roles not listed as starters. Things were not clear. After one week of actual play, we have a clearer […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 2 (9/20/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Man what an odd first week of the season. Arizona not only covered the seven points, but beat the NFC Champions outright on their home field. Carolina had some mishaps offensively and weren't able to contain Josh Jacobs, losing by four points, just missing the cover. Meanwhile, the Cowboys and the Rams couldn't do anything […]

Rams Looking To Give Robert Woods An Extension

On the heels of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp's long-term contract extension, head coach Sean McVay said that the team wants to give wide receiver Robert Woods an extension next. "We want to get him extended, too. He's a huge part of what we're doing. So, that's something that, I think, is definitely […]

The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

By this time, you’ve made your waiver wire claims for week 2. Hopefully, you got your guy. But, if you’re still deciding on players to keep and get rid of for next week and moving forward, then you’ve come to the right place. The obvious cuts are players that are lost for the year due […]

Cam Akers A Borderline Fantasy Starter This Week

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers saw a good amount of work in Week 1, but he was extremely inefficient. In Week 2, you can expect much of the same. The Rams offensive line could be outmatched against this Philadelphia Eagles defensive line. Akers averaged less than three yards per carry on 14 totes […]

Tyler Higbee Should Bounce Back In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was unable to live up to the hype in Week 1, but he can bounce back in Week 2. The Philadelphia Eagles have a severe lack of talent at the linebacker position, and they downgraded at safety this offseason. Higbee only saw two more targets than teammate Gerald […]

Robert Woods Is A Safe Play For Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods showed off some big-play ability in Week 1, and he is a safe option again for Week 2. The Philadelphia Eagles were one of the worst teams against wide receivers last season, and that might continue this year despite the addition of cornerback Darius Slay. Woods gets a […]

Cooper Kupp Should Bounce Back In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught four of his five targets in Week 1, but he wasn't able to break any for a big gain. In Week 2, his matchup gets a lot easier against a Philadelphia Eagles team that was ranked in the bottom five against wide receivers last season. Kupp has […]

Malcolm Brown Has Tough Matchup For Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown finished as the No. 5 running back in Week 1, but it's unlikely he'll be able to replicate that in Week 2. The Philadelphia Eagles were ranked fifth against the running back position last season because they penetrate the backfield often. Combine that with their spotty secondary, and […]

Jared Goff Is A Sneaky Play In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff saw some touchdowns vultured from him in Week 1. If he had gotten them, his week would have looked a lot better. In Week 2, his matchup looks a bit better. The Philadelphia Eagles are built to stop the run, but they have a number of holes in their […]

Week 1 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five.
