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.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

A full Sunday slate of football, watching the Red Zone channel, and not having to change the channel finally felt like a return to normalcy. What felt even more normal was Phillip Rivers throwing a late-game interception, the Lions losing in heartbreaking fashion, the Broncos losing yet another close one, and Baker Mayfield looking lost. My […]

La'Mical Perine Questionable To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) is questionable to face the 49ers in Week 2. Perine was limited in practice the last two days, so he has a real chance to make his NFL debut after he was inactive in the season-opener. The Jets could really use some depth with Le'Veon Bell […]

Jamison Crowder Out For Week 2

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) will miss his team's Week 2 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. This leaves the Jets really shallow at receiver, with Breshad Perriman taking on the role as the team's No. 1 option this week. Perriman becomes an intriguing flex play, though the 49ers Defense is really […]

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 […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Know When to Hold 'Em... Players Who Shouldn't Be on Waivers

Many fantasy players overreact to results from the first week of games, and at varying levels. Some experienced competitors know how to remain patient after such a small sample size. Others are too quick to throw underperforming players onto the free-agent list and then regret such moves later on. You may be thinking of cutting […]

Breshad Perriman Quickly Losing Value

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman was listed as the No. 1 option for the team heading into their Week 1 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. He finished the game with three receptions on five targets for 17 yards. Both Jamison Crowder and Chris Herndon appear to be the favorable options in New York. […]

Chris Herndon Has TE2 Value Versus 49ers

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon could be headed towards a breakout season in 2020. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 37 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. The Jets don't have many reliable options on offense, so they will probably look Herndon's way quite often. […]

Jamison Crowder Limited During Wednesday's Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Crowder was battling a hamstring issue in training camp, but wasn't on the injury report during Week 1. He hauled in seven of his 13 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Crowder […]

Frank Gore Named Starter For Week 2

New York Jets running back Frank Gore has been named the starter for their Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve. That means, Gore, Josh Adams, and Kalen Ballage will be tasked with holding together the Jets rushing attack. The 37-year-old back rushed six […]

Sam Darnold Has Difficult Task In Week 2

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was expected to have a bounce-back season with a new revamped offensive line. However, Darnold continued to struggle in their season opener versus the Buffalo Bills. He completed 21 of 35 passes for 215 yards with one touchdown and one interception. To be fair, Darnold has one of the […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It was satisfying enough to see a full slate of regular-season NFL games being played on Sunday. Then, the level of play exceeded expectations, as we weren't subjected to sloppy play and didn't see a slew of injuries. For fantasy purposes, it was great to see a lot of high-scoring games. The stars did their […]

Denzel Mims Placed On Injured Reserve

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The second-round pick will have to miss at least three weeks now. At this point, it would be a surprise to see Mims make much of an impact anytime soon, though he's still got tons of dynasty potential. Fantasy managers […]

Jets Sign Kalen Ballage

The New York Jets signed running back Kalen Ballage on Tuesday with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) going on the Injured Reserve. The Jets acquired Ballage from the Dolphins around three weeks ago, but he'll officially be added to the club's 53-man roster for some running back depth with Bell out for at least three weeks and […]

Jets Put Le'Veon Bell On Injured Reserve

The New York Jets placed running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Bell will be eligible to return in three weeks. The 28-year-old's disappointing two-year run with Gang Green continues, but hopefully he'll be able to return in three weeks as the team's lead back. Veteran Frank Gore […]
