NFL Training Camp News & Notes
NFL Training Camp News & Notes The NFL preseason is underway. That means fantasy football is right around the corner. With all 32 teams in camp, myriad stories and developments can impact the 2024 fantasy football rankings. Our NFL Traning Camp News & Notes will catch you up on the latest and how it impacts your upcoming fantasy football draft. Arizona Cardinals • Looks like RB James Conner remains a solid sleeper target. Rookie Trey McBride has not impressed head coach Jonathan Gannon. Emari Demercado has been getting some third-down reps. 2 minutes and 23 seconds of #Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon telling you to stop drafting Trey Benson at his current ADP (115 on @UnderdogFantasy) pic.twitter.com/9wXw71Bnhv — The Coachspeak Index (@CoachspeakIndex) July 31, 2024 • Greg Dortch has impressed and may be in the lead for WR3 duties ahead of Zay Jones per Bob Manaman. • QB Kyler Murray will not play in the preseason. This is good news. Murray has nothing to prove and only risks getting hurt. Atlanta Falcons • Ray-Ray McCloud has been running ahead of Rondale Moore as Atlanta’s WR3. • Kirk Cousins has an apparent chemistry with Darnell Mooney. • WR Rondale Moore was carted off the field and seen with an air cast on his leg. That generally means a fairly significant injury. This all but locks Ray-Ray McCloud in as Atlanta’s WR3. UPDATE: Moore was placed on season-ending IR with a knee injury. Baltimore Ravens • QB Lamar Jackson returned from an illness. He did not appear to be impacted at all. Seems like a non-issue. • Per The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec “Rasheen Ali is the front-runner to earn the No. 3 role. Aside from a fumble last week that dredged up some of the ball-security issues he had at Marshall, Ali has had a solid camp and has looked comfortable catching balls out of the backfield.” Buffalo Bills •WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s first-team reps have dwindled amidst a slow start to training camp, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. •The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia reports Khalil Shakir “has been one of the most consistent, dependable players” in Bills training camp. Shakir, entering his third NFL season, finally has a chance to function as an every-down player in Josh Allen’s offense, and has made the most of his training camp opportunities. Shakir’s big plays during camp, Buscaglia said, is “a reminder of how important he is to the scope of the Bills offense in 2024.” Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said last week that Shakir is “as consistent as they come.” So far, it looks like Shakir, Curtis Samuel, and Keon Coleman are the favorites to run in three-receiver sets for Buffalo this season. Khalil Shakir looked like a superstar on Day 7 of #Bills camp. That and more in my observations: 🏈 Kaiir Elam szn 🏈 2 rookie Olinemen 📈 🏈 Keon Coleman 😎 🏈 LB w/ tough path to 53 making his run 🏈 Safety woes 🏈 Let James 👨🍳https://t.co/W09Iesb7Av — Matt Parrino (@MattParrino) August 1, 2024 Carolina Panthers • Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo has earned praise from those around the first week of training camp, showing improved route-running and a strong grasp of the new offense. Former Panthers WR Steve Smith Sr. also revealed this week that he worked with the former second-round pick over the summer. • Xavier Leggette (day-to-day) is dealing with a foot injury. MRIs came up clean. • Jonathon Brooks won’t play in the preseason and could make his NFL debut in “Week 3 or 4.” • Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen, and Jonathan Mingo were listed as starters on Carolina’s first official depth chart. Chicago Bears • Caleb Williams has been as good as advertised. • D.J. Moore signed a 4-year, $110 million extension with $82.6 million guaranteed. Cincinnati Bengals • The Athletic’s Paul Dehner suggests Andrei Iosivas is the favorite to win the Bengals’ No. 3 WR job. “The more Iosivas stacks practices, the more you wonder whether he won’t just soak up nearly all of [Tyler] Boyd’s 824 vacated snaps from last season,” Dehner writes. Joe Burrow finds Andrei Iosivas for the touchdown during a grueling, hot 11-on-11 period. Most competitive period of camp so far for the #Bengals pic.twitter.com/MfCMRtIGhv — James Rapien (@JamesRapien) August 1, 2024 • Bengals RB Chase Brown has been taking the majority of first-team snaps at RB for the first few days of camp, per Charlie Clifford. • Zack Moss is listed ahead of Chase Brown on Cincinnati’s depth chart debut. Cleveland Browns • RB D’Onta Foreman was released from a local hospital with a head injury. • Deshaun Watson has looked sharp this offseason but the club has not determined if he’ll play in Cleveland’s preseason opener. Dallas Cowboys • Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle was mentioned as “battling it out” with RB Malik Davis by EVP Stephen Jones. He was highly complimentary of RB Royce Freeman. • The Athletic’s Jon Machota said Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle “has to be the favorite to lead the team in rushing.” Denver Broncos • RB Javonte Williams has resurrected his 2024 fantasy value. “Javonte Williams, who shed 10 pounds this offseason, looks quicker and is another year removed from his ACL surgery. And fifth-round pick Audric Estime has been one of the stars of camp thus far.” https://t.co/dRaktieieW — 32BeatWriters (@32BeatWriters) August 1, 2024 Detroit Lions • Lions WR Jameson Williams had a strong spring and has rolled that momentum into the start of training camp, according to The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy. “Williams is firmly entrenched as one of the guys,” Pouncy writes. “This is the best I’ve seen him look with Jared Goff.” • Daurice Fountain is making a case for the Lions’ WR3 gig. Ben Johnson on WR Jameson Williams: “Things have started to slow down mentally for him. We’ve locked him into a couple spots and as a result, his route tree has grown, it’s developed. And his mind, there’s nothing he can’t do.” 💭: @colton_pouncy | #OnePride pic.twitter.com/U22F2j1WE6 — 𝔗𝔥𝔢

Steve Renner (SDCHICKENS) NFL Week 8 Picks
I am including the SNF game in my analysis this week (FanDuel related) because I love a couple plays in that game… So just remove those guys for DK purposes. WEATHER … as of Saturday morning There’s quite a few
Week 2 RB Report
Codes: Favorable Matchup Neutral Matchup Risk/Against the Grain Tough Matchup with Limited Upside Playing Time Concern Le’Veon Bell (DK – $9,800/FD – $9,000): After taking the summer off to battle his next contract, Bell came out flat in Week 1. He was on the field for 43 of 60 offensive plays (71.6 percent), which was below his opportunity in his 12 games played in 2016 (781 of 810 snaps – 96.4 percent). Le’Veon only had 13 touches for 47 yards and three catches. In 2016, Bell never had fewer than 13.00 Fantasy points in PPR leagues. He scored over 20 Fantasy points in nine of his 12 starts, which included three impact games (34.40, 34.1, and 51.80). The Vikings held the Saints’ back to 55 yards on 20 carries plus nine catches for 74 yards on 12 targets. Minnesota has a top ten defense vs. the RB position over the 17 games in the regular season. Stud of studs with a correction game waiting in the wings. Just based on volume of touches, Le’Veon is the top ranked RB in Week 2 (163 combined yards with five catches and 1.4 TDs). His high salary does command over 30 Fantasy points. LeSean McCoy (DK – $8,600/FD – $8,600): The Bills just can’t give McCoy the whole show especially at the goal line. Last week LeSean was on the field for 54 of 77 plays run by Buffalo. He finished 159 combined yards on 27 touches, which included five catches. Unfortunately, the Bills felt the need to give Mike Tolbert 13 touches for 54 combined yards while letting him snipe the only rushing TD. LeSean tends to be a much better player at home. In 2016, he scored only three of his 14 TDs on the road. McCoy rushed for over 100 yards seven times over 15 games last year (twice on the road). The Panthers held 49ers to 51 yards rushing on 15 carries in Week 1. San Fran’s backs caught eight of ten targets for 49 yards. High volume back, but I don’t like his success on the road plus Tolbert will be returning to Carolina. I’ll put LeSean in the fade column due to his high salary and matchup. Ezekiel Elliott (DK – $7,800/FD – $8,700): If Week 1 is any indication, Elliott is going to be a lot more active in the passing game. He caught five of his six targets for 36 yards while rushing for 104 yards on 24 carries. He stayed on the field for 60 of 74 plays (81.1 percent) run by the Cowboys, which was higher than his 2016 resume (74.3 percent of the snaps). The Chargers have a poor offensive line leading to 22 rushed for 64 yards vs. the Broncos. Gordon did catch five of his six targets for 25 yards and a TD. Last year Denver ranked 19th in the league vs. the RB position in PPR leagues. RBs had over 2,000 yards rushing vs. the Broncos in 2016 with 13 combined TDs plus 70 catches for 691 yards. Most will fear Denver’s defense, but they need to prove they can handle an elite rushing attack. Ezekiel is scheduled to gain over 150 combined yards with a TD and three catches. Nice floor especially at DraftKings where his salary remains favorable. Devonta Freeman (DK – $7,300/FD – $8,100): In Week 1, Freeman had 60 percent of the RB snaps. He struggled to find running room vs. the Bears (14 touches for 39 yards), but he scored a TD with two catches. His stablemate had 12 touches for 58 yards and four catches so timing this backfield will be tough again in 2017. Last year Devonta only had two games with over 100 yards receiving, which came vs. the Saints on the road and at home against the lowly 49ers. Freeman scored 11 of his 13 TDs at home in 2016, which included two TDs at home vs. the Packers (58 combined yards with four catches). Green Bay had the 8th ranked defense against the RB position in 2016 in PPR leagues. In Week 1, Seattle struggled to create space on the ground for their RBs (16 carries for 50 yards) against the Packers with just about an empty score in the receiving game (1/10 on one target). Atlanta’s offense is going to be a beast to defend so there should be plenty of scoring. Sometimes you just need to believe in a player. I don’t see an explosive game as far as yards so scoring TDs will be key. Melvin Gordon (DK – $7,000/FD – $7,600): Gordon scored 18.9 Fantasy points in PPR leagues in Week 1. He had 23 touches leading to 79 combined yards with a TD and five catches. Melvin was on the field for 76.2 percent of the Chargers’ offensive plays. He has four catches or more in his last seven full games played while averaging 26.5 touches per game in his last eight games with full time snaps. Gordon had 132 combined yards with five catches in his matchup in 2016 at home vs. the Dolphins. Miami ranked 20th in the league vs. the RB position in 2016 with no disaster games. One of the best opportunities in the game with scoring and catching ability. Excellent chance at 100+ rushing yards plus a TD. When you add in his catches, Melvin should be a top five RB option in Week 2. Kareem Hunt (DK – $6,800/FD – $7,800): The success of Hunt in Week 1 (246 combined yards with three TDs and five catches) push him to a top five pick in the late draft season in the season long games. Even if he didn’t hit on a pair of big plays, Kareen looked like an impact back despite fumbling the first time he touched the ball in his NFL career. Hunt was on the field for 40 of 69 plays run by Kansas City. The Eagles held the Redskins to 64 yards
Week 2 QB Report
Color Codes: Favorable Matchup Neutral Matchup Risk/Against the Grain Tough Matchup with Limited Upside Unless otherwise stated, pricing is from DraftKings Tom Brady (DK – $7,900/FD – $9,200): The Patriots struggled in the passing game in Week 1 thanks to Brady completing only 44.4 percent of his passes for 267 yards and no TDs. New England showed the ability to run the ball well in close, but their failure on a couple of short yardage situations hurt their chance to extend drives and limit the upside in scoring. The Saints’ defense enters 2017 with risk in the secondary, which was clear in Week 1. The Vikings drilled New Orleans for 346 passing yards and three TDs with an exceptional completion rate (84.4). With ten days to getting ready for this game, New England should bounce back in a big way offensively plus their defense has a lot to prove out of the gate pointing a high scoring games. Excellent matchup with Tom projected to pass for 372 yards with three TDs by Scout or 30.22 Fantasy points at DraftKings and 27.22 at Fanduel. Brady is a top two option this week in the daily games. Drew Brees (DK – $7,700/FD – $8.700): As been his history in his career, Drew came out flat on the road in Week 1. He passed for 291 yards and a TD with strength in his completion rate (73.0), but New Orleans had no rhythm in the run game (21/60). The Saints need to come up with a better rotation at RB to help complement the passing game. As bad a New England looked on defense (553 yards allowed), their failure came on three big plays (58, 75, and 78). This accounted for 38.1 percent of the offense. The Patriots have a top coaching staff and they will address their mistakes going forward. Drew is a great player at home so he’s can’t be dismissed in Week 2. Scout has him down for 339 passing yards with two passing TDs based on his matchup. For him to payoff, Brees will need to find a way to pass for three TDs or more. In the mix at the top end while being somewhat against the grain. Matt Ryan (DK – $7,500/FD – $8,200): One game in 2017, the Falcons looked the same as 2016. Ryan gained completed 70 percent of his passes for 321 yards and a TD while gaining 10.7 yards per attempt. His success was helped by two huge plays by Austin Hooper (88-yard TD and 40-yard catch). Atlanta did struggle to run the ball (23/64/1), which is something that well be corrected on the fast track at home. Last year Matt passed for 288 yards and three TDs vs. the Packers with Julio Jones being a non-factor. The Packers played well defensively in Week 1 (248 combined yards and no TDs allowed), which was helped by a poor offensive line by Seattle. This game should be wide open leading to upside for Ryan. We have him down for 344 passing yards and 2.5 passing TDs, which is the third highest ranking on the week. His downside may be the Falcons’ ability to run the ball in close. Aaron Rodgers (DK – $7,400/FD – $9,100): The Packers ran a ball controlled offense in Week 1 vs. a tough Seahawks defense. They held the ball for 39:13 minutes, which was the reason that Rodgers attempted 42 passes. He finished with 311 passing yards and a TD. His results could have been higher with better success on the ground (28/84/1). Atlanta wasn’t tested in the passing game last week due to the Bears having weak options at WR and TE. The Bears gained only 5.3 yards per pass attempt leading to 213 passing yards and a TD. This matchup will be a total different animal for the Falcons’ defense. Green Bay won’t score many rushing TDs, which is another positive for Rodgers. In 2016, he passed for 246 yards with four TDs in his game in Atlanta while adding another 60 yards rushing. Three of his TDs went to his secondary wide receivers (Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis, and Jeff Davis). Fair price point at DraftKings with high upside in a game that is expected to be a shootout. Aaron is the top rated QB headed into Week 2. Scout has him projected for 345 passing yards and three TDs with addition 21 yards rushing. Best option at QB in both formats this week. Derek Carr (DK – $7,200/FD – $8,300): If Amari Cooper could catch the damn ball, Carr would have had a playable game in Week 1. He ended up with 262 passing yards with two TDs. Carr has talent at RB, WR, and TE plus Marshawn Lynch is going to have success running the ball especially in the red zone. The Jets had no answer for the Bills’ run game (42/190/1) last week despite limited threats in the passing game. They allowed 8.0 yards per pass attempt leading to 224 yards and two TDs. There are two factors working against the upside of Derek in Week 2. The Jets has a low-level offense plus the Raiders will score rushing TDs. I like his weapons, but I’m be more inclined to ride Lynch. More steady than explosive with a chance at about 270 passing yards and a TD. Russell Wilson (DK – $6,800/FD – $8,100): The play of the offensive line was a clear issue for Wilson in Week 1. The Seahawks’ RBs gained only 50 yards on 16 carries while Russell looked to have his bounce back on the ground (2/40). His top two receiving options (Jimmy Graham and Doug Baldwin) only had seven catches for 71 yards on 11 targets. In 2016, Wilson had 508 combined yards and two TDs in two games vs. the 49ers. His game was limited on the ground (2/7) due to his ankle and knee
The Chalk Report – Fuego Steve
The first week of the NFL season went pretty much as expected regarding the popular plays. The obvious chalk of the week on DraftKings was Zach Ertz at his ridiculous salary of only $3500. As expected, he was the highest owned player in the Milly Maker coming in at 41%. Not only was he chalk, but he was what we call “good chalk”. He was mispriced, in a great spot against the Skins and was a must play in cash games. It paid off as he scored 17.3 DK points. Todd Gurley was another player I expected to be highly owned and to be paired with the Rams defense. This was the case as he came in at almost 31% and the Rams defense was 22%. Le’Veon Bell 34% and David Johnson 25% were the next two highest owned on DK and the two highest on Fanduel. It will be interesting to see what Bell’s ownership is going to be the rest of the year without D.J. playing. Does Johnson’s ownership get split up among the next best backs like Ezekiel Elliot and LeSean McCoy? Or more likely, depending on the slate, his ownership may get extremely high. To fade or not to fade Le’Veon may be the question we are asking ourselves the rest of the year. Doug Baldwin at his reasonable price on DK was the highest owned wide receiver coming in at 22.5%. This eclipsed Antonio Brown 14% by quite a bit. Brown was the highest owned on Fanduel at 21%, one point ahead of Julio Jones. Other expected popular receivers; Larry Fitzgerald, Kelvin Benjamin, Terrelle Pryor, Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper were between 13% – 20%. On the other end of the spectrum were two of my favorite plays of the week. I mentioned them on the podcast and on SiriusXM with Dr. Roto and Adam Ronis. They were Matthew Stafford and the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Stafford was the highest scoring player on Fanduel and second highest on DK just below Brown. He was only rostered on 1%- 2% of all entries. I mentioned how the Jags would be contrarian on DK because of their high price but were in a great spot. To me, they were a lock on Fanduel at only $4100. They came through big time with 10 sacks and a defensive touchdown at less than 10% on Fanduel and only 1% on DK. Leonard Fournette had a great rookie debut rushing for 100 yards and scoring a touchdown. But no one, including myself, was going to pay up for him week one as he was less than 3% owned. This week there are two games that should draw a lot of ownership. New England visits New Orleans in what is expected to be a high scoring game with an over/under that has gone up to 55.5 points. The Sunday night hammer game is the Packers at the Falcons with an O/U of 53.5 points. The four most popular QBs should come from these games. The night game is going to get the highest ownership of any game on the main slate. People love to have players left going in the night game to begin with. Add the highest total on the slate with two high-powered offenses and they will be chalk. Ty Montgomery and Devonta Freeman as well as Jordy Nelson and Julio Jones will be extremely popular. Check back later in the week to see where we can pivot if we choose to fade them. Look for players that had a good week one to be somewhat popular as well. Players like Kareem Hunt, Stefon Diggs, Tarik Cohen (who I am staying away from), and Dalvin Cook will be chalky. One way to get lower ownership on players is to do the opposite. Roster players that were popular last week that didn’t perform. Kelvin Benjamin, Fitzgerald, and Martavis Bryant come to mind for example. The general public is much more likely to roster players that did well the week before, than did poorly. Especially if they burned them the week before. In fact, I wonder if we can get Lev Bell lower owned than he should be because of his subpar performance last week. He burned a lot of people as the chalk play, and with the rest being burned by D.J., maybe people will be scared to pay up this week. I am hoping we get low ownership on the two teams that did not play last week, the Bucs and Dolphins. Not being on people’s minds, they may not gravitate to these players. I like Tampa Bay this week including Jameis Winston, Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson and Jacquizz Rodgers who is filling in for the suspended Doug Martin. I also like Jay Ajayi on Miami going against the Chargers. Another way we can get lower ownership is talented players that were not popular last week, but are in better spots week two. Players like Jordan Matthews or Greg Olsen may get overlooked but still have upside to get at low ownership. Remember, not all chalk is bad chalk. The saying goes “chalk is chalk for a reason”. Players in good spots are naturally going to be higher owned than players in bad spots. Finding the players in perceived bad situations, but that could do well (like Stafford last week) is the key to pivoting off the chalk. Listen to the late week podcast and read the articles on dfs.scout.com to determine which popular players to roster and which are best to fade.
NFL DFS Tip: Running Backs as Home Favorites
One of the key factors to look at when deciding between Running Backs not named David Johnson (prior to injury) and Le’Veon Bell is which ones are at home and favored. It’s a widely known, but often forgotten, trend to utilize running backs who are at home and favored as this typically leads to better results for DFS. In week one 8 of the top 10 RB’s (DK scoring) were home running backs, of which 4 were home favorites. Not as high as expected with Tarik Cohen coming in as the #1 back and Leonard Fournette coming in as the #2 back, neither of which were home favorites. However, when comparing the “High End” running backs we saw LeSean McCoy and Ezekiel Elliot, both home favorites out perform David Johnson and Le’Veon Bell in week one. The big flop in week 1 was Lamar Miller who came in as a -5.5 home favorite and only produced 11.6 fantasy points. Most of this though can directly be attributed to a good Jacksonville defense along with Tom Savage being terrible and putting the Texans behind early. Looking ahead to week two with early lines as of Tuesday morning, we can look at the following running backs as being potential safe plays as home favorites. Again, we’re looking for guys who are usually the main resource out of the backfield. Best Situations (Single RB with great matchup as home favorite) Marshawn Lynch (OAK) – Nobody is a better home favorite this week than the Raiders against the Jets as -14 favorites. Lynch’s odds to score a touchdown may not be higher than they are this week. Melvin Gordon (LAC) – Gordon is the workhorse back for the Chargers and is involved a ton in their offense. The Chargers shockingly are 4.5 favorites over the Dolphins who didn’t play in week one but were among the bottom in the league in 2016 against pass catching RB’s. Terrance West (BAL) – West saw the primary duties in week 1 against Cincinnati and now will face Cleveland at home with the Ravens opening as 8 point favorites. Given his price this week he should be expected to be a popular choice in cash games. NEXT BEST … Le’Veon Bell (PIT) – A disappointing start in week one transitions into a week 2 matchup that on paper looks rough against the Vikings strong run defense. Bell’s threat out of the backfield and the fact that he is the best RB in the game make him still a great option — especially as a -7 home favorite. Kareem Hunt (KC) – The week 1 darling welcomes in the Eagles fast, but not physically dominating defense into Arrowhead where the Chiefs have opened as 4.5 favorites. Todd Gurley (LAR) – Gurley was involved enough in week one to definitely rank him highly heading into a week 2 matchup with the Redskins. The actual results were not good but given the volume and the Redskins poor showing in week one, Gurley will be high upside play again in week 2. Devonta Freeman (ATL) / Tevin Coleman (ATL) – This is a one off backfield where we can consider both RB’s as RB1’s because both are so good in the passing game. I expect Atlanta to try and attack the Packers through the air more than on the ground but this should be a high scoring affair and Freeman always produces well at home. The Falcons, however, are only favored by 2.5 Split Situations Tampa Bay – Jacquizz Rodgers / Charles Sims – The Bucs are heavy 7.5 home favorites against the Bears. This is a good matchup for these two running backs but it’s likely we see a split workload. Carolina – Christian McCaffery / Jonathan Stewart – The notable issue with both of these backs is the threat of Cam Newton stealing TD’s on the goal line. The Panthers are home versus Buffalo this week. Seattle – CJ Prosise / Thomas Rawls / Chris Carson / Eddie Lacy – The issue is obvious here. Who’s going to get not only the snaps but the touches inside the red zone? With Rawls out in week one it was Chris Carson leading the way on snaps and Eddie Lacy bringing up the rear (no pun intended). Seattle is huge home favorite against San Francisco who does have a healthy Navarro Bowman back but remains a defense that gives up plenty of yards on the ground. Monitor this situation all week but with the uncertainty this is a tournament play to consider Rawls (if he plays) or Carson. Cincinnati – Gio Bernard / Joe Mixon / Jeremy Hill – Gio and Mixon dominated the snap counts in week one and as long as the Bengals are trailing in games that likely will remain true. However, with the Texans coming into town on a short week this week I could see Hill getting a few more carries. This is a messy situation that I wouldn’t touch, especially considering it is on the Thursday-Mon slate only. NY Giants – Paul Perkins/Shane Vereen: I never trust either of these guys much and don’t expect them to have a big game and since it is the MNF game we can ignore it on the Main slate
Week 2 Injury Report and Waiver Radar
Week 2 Injury Report and Waiver Radar By Duke Deming Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season delivered fireworks—and a new batch of injuries. FullTime Fantasy delivers the latest injury updates and waiver wire targets ahead of Week 3 for fantasy football success. Week 2 Injury Report Joe Burrow (QB – CIN) Burrow left with a turf toe injury that’s believed to be a Grade 3; surgery could sideline him roughly three months. Jake Browning would start if Burrow misses time. Justin Fields (QB – NYJ) Fields exited late with a concussion. If he can’t go in Week 3, Tyrod Taylor is in line to start. Austin Ekeler (RB – WSH) Ekeler suffered a torn Achilles on TNF and is out for the season. Jayden Reed (WR – GB) Reed broke his collarbone and is expected to miss 6–8 weeks. George Kittle (TE – SF) Kittle continues to deal with his hamstring injury from Week 1 and is expected to miss 4+ weeks. Brock Purdy (QB – SF) Purdy is dealing with a toe injury with a 2–5 week timeline. Chris Godwin (WR – TB) Godwin (ankle) avoided IR and is limited during practice. The Bucs expect him back around Week 5. Xavier Worthy (WR – KC) Worthy dislocated his shoulder in Week 1 and missed Week 2; he remains a multi-week concern. Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Bowers had a knee scare but is questionable for MNF and “should be in action.” Monitor practice reports. Aaron Jones (RB – MIN) Left Sunday Night game with hamstring injury and unlikely to play in Week 3 matchup. Waiver Wire Radar Jake Browning (QB – CIN) – Tossed 2 TDs in relief and will benefit from strong weapons on offense during Burrow’s absence. Tyrod Taylor (QB – NYJ) – On deck if Fields sits; showed competency off the bench and offers rushing floor. Daniel Jones (QB – IND) – Topped 20 points once again and trending towards a reliable fantasy quarterback. Romeo Doubs (WR – GB) – With Reed out, Doubs is “worth a roster spot” and should see steady volume. Tucker Kraft (TE – GB) – Quietly trending towards high-end tight end; solid plug-and-play while GB reshuffles targets. Zach Ertz (TE – WSH) – Commanders’ veteran is earning consistent looks and could benefit from extra targets without Ekeler in offense. Christian Watson (WR – GB) – Keep an eye on the WR as a stash that is expected back during October. Troy Franklin (WR – DEN) – Deep-league add that is emerging as a key piece in Denver offense.
WK 2 Circa Survivor Contest: ‘Crazy’ OT Dallas Victory Leads to 91% of Field Advancing
WK 2 Circa Survivor Contest: ‘Crazy’ OT Dallas Victory Leads to 91% of Field Advancing Favorites and high-scoring games dominated Week 2 of the 2025 season. The slate, which opened with a dominant Packers win over the Commanders on Thursday, saw favorites go 10-4 Straight-up (SU), with only two moderate upsets impacting the contest. The 3,506 contestants (19.3%), who advanced with a thrilling Cowboys overtime win, experienced the ultimate sweat on Sunday afternoon. In fact, they may want to run out and purchase a Brandon Aubrey jersey (myself included). Aubrey became the first kicker to hit a game-tying 64-yard field goal with no time on the clock in regulation followed by the game-winning 46-yard field goal with no time left in overtime as well. Brandon Aubrey became the first NFL player ever to convert a game-tying field goal with no time remaining in the fourth quarter and a game-winning field goal with no time remaining in overtime in the same game. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 15, 2025 Meanwhile, 5,169 entries made Kyler Murray and Arizona the top selection (28.5%) to beat Carolina at home. Despite covering as 7-point underdogs, the Panthers came up just shy of pulling off the biggest upset of Week 2, falling 27-22. Circa Survivor, which drew a record-breaking $18,718,000 prize pool this year, proved to be relatively easy for entrants to predict thanks to not needing to cover any point spread but as all NFL fans know, that won’t last for long. The Vikings lose at home to the Falcons, clipping 355 entries. We’ll check in with you Monday Night degens tomorrow! #CircaSurvivor — Survivor Sweat (@SurvivorSweat) September 15, 2025 The Seahawks 31-17 road upset over the Steelers was the biggest knock-out blow to contestants as they took out 491 entries (2.7%), followed closely by the Falcons 22-6 road upset over the Vikings eliminating another 355 contestants (2.0%). A modest total of 720 (4.0%) of the entries were prohibited from advancing to Week 2. Overall, favorites in Week 2 finished with a slight 8-6 Against The Spread (ATS) mark. Overall, favorite teams hold a sizable early 21-7 SU (2 pick-ems) & 15-13 ATS (53.6%) edge. Home teams hold a slight 15-14 SU lead with 1 neutral-site game (KC-LAC in Brazil), but road teams hold the coveted 15-14 ATS advantage. Meanwhile, “Under-Takers” who thrived in Week 1 finishing with a 12-4 (75%) mark, saw the tables flip in Week 2 as Overs dominated cashing to the tune of 11-3. The Circa Survivor contest is a grueling contest which forces entrants to pick one winner every week, with no spread with one pivotal caveat. Entrants CAN NOT use the same team more than once during the course of the season. Circa Survivor, which requires a $1,000 entry fee, will once again be a massive sweat for those who run deep into the season due to the massive winner-take-all prize pool. In an early look-ahead to Week 3 it is expected that: Buffalo (-12.5) vs Miami, Green Bay (-8) at Cleveland, Seattle (-7.5) vs New Orleans and Tampa Bay (-7) vs NY Jets – will be among the most heavily chosen teams in the contest.

On The Mark: Week 2 Fantasy Boom Players
Each week in this segment, we’ll spotlight fantasy players with massive upside potential—ones primed to smash their Vegas projections that can also deliver explosive boom games that supercharge your lineup.
Some picks lean conservative for steady gains, while others are high-risk gambles worth the shot. My selections blend historical data, emerging trends, player momentum, a dash of instinct, and forward-looking projections tied to game-script.
Quarterback (QB)
Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens
Following a heartbreaking defeat in Week 1, I anticipate Lamar Jackson delivering a spectacular performance in the Ravens’ home debut. The ex-MVP’s prop odds sit at a tempting +240 for three or more passing touchdowns, and he’s got every chance to light up the scoreboard against the NFC North rival Browns. That’s an exceptional value for Fulltime’s No. 2 overall signal-caller in our Week 2 rankings!

Vegas vs Fulltime Rankings: Top Plus-Money Anytime Touchdown Props For Week 2
Vegas vs Fulltime Rankings: Top Plus-Money Anytime Touchdown Props For Week 2 Our first installment of this series here at FullTime Fantasy uncovered several “Moonshot Hits” as J.K. Dobbins (+165), Zach Charbonnet (+370) and Isaac TeSlaa (+450) all found pay dirt! Playing in leagues like the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC) that require double-flex starting options, identifying players who could explode on a weekly basis can lead to a winning formula. Every week this season, I will be taking a look at players who not only offer immense value to those looking to invest in players outside of fantasy football, but also help fantasy managers lock in on players who may be flying under-the-radar on your bench or waiver. Let’s take a deeper dive into the best plus-money options in Week 2 of the 2025 in comparison to our elite-winning Fulltime Fantasy Projections. Top Values By The Projections WR CeeDee Lamb +110 Fulltime Projection: 1.0 (100%) Despite several key drops, the volume and production (7 / 110) was there for Lamb in the Cowboys’ loss against the Eagles. Lamb has had 61 receptions for 859 yards and 5 touchdowns in 10 career games against the Giants. Respected Money Note: 25 touchdowns in 40 games (62.5%) at home in his career. WR Nico Collins +120 Fulltime Projection: 1.0 (100%) Nico struggled in Week 1 only hauling in 3 receptions for 25 yards against the Rams. However, a bounce-back could be in store playing in front of the Texans’ home faithful on Monday night against Tampa Bay who allowed 14 receptions for 139 yards in the opener to Falcons’ wideouts. Respected Money Note: 6 of his 7 TDs (85.7%) came at home last season But wait…. a deeper dive reveals that 13 of his last 15 TDs (86.7%) over the last two seasons have come at NRG Stadium! WR Tee Higgins +125 Fulltime Projection: .90 (90%) Higgins, along with the rest of the Bengals offense, struggled badly on the road in Week 1 against the Browns. However, the matchup is much more favorable in Week 2 at home against Jacksonville. Respected Money Note: 11 TDs in last 15 home games (73.3%) at Paycor Stadium over the last two seasons – Higgins shines in the Jungle – time to back that trend to continue at plus-odds in the 2025 home opener. Top Moonshots That Could Lead To Glory WR D.J. Moore +170 Fulltime Projection: 0.75 (75%) Have to figure that former Lions’ OC Ben Johnson will know exactly how to get his top Bears WR going against his former club. Combine that with Moore’s history against the Lions and we have the recipe for strong production. Respected Money Note: Moore has posted 47 receptions for 696 yards and 6 touchdowns in 7 games (85.7%) against the Lions, averaging 99.4 receiving yards per game in his career. WR Garrett Wilson +215 Fulltime Projection: 0.5 (50%) The Jets star wideout produced in his first game with his former collegiate QB Justin Fields to the tune of 7 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. Respected Money Note: Wilson has posted 36 catches for 386 yards and 3 touchdowns in 6 games versus the Bills in his career – scoring in 3 of the last 4 showdowns in the heated AFC rivalry. WHAT A CATCH BY ISAAC TESLAA DETvsGB on CBS/Paramount+https://t.co/HkKw7uXVnt pic.twitter.com/AKjxdJGvfM — NFL (@NFL) September 7, 2025 WR Isaac TeSlaa +370 Fulltime Projection: 0.01 (0.01%) After hauling in 10 receptions for 146 yards (14.6 yards per catch) and 3 touchdowns in the preseason – the former Arkansas standout came through for us at moonshot odds of +450 scoring in his NFL debut. OC John Morton says: “they’re going to expand Isaac TeSlaa’s role in the offense”. Following the talent and the “Coach Speak”, there is significant value to remain on board. WR Kayshon Boutte +380 Fulltime Projection: 0.25 (25%) Boutte, a former 5-star recruit and the nation’s #2 WR coming out of high school, was arguably one of the biggest surprises in fantasy football in Week 1, posting an impressive 82.9 % snap share and hauling in 6 of 8 targets for 103 yards. The volume data in conjunction with facing a Miami secondary fresh off allowing 11 receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown to Colts’ WRs last week, leads to a player who offers extreme value.
2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Tight Ends
2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Tight Ends After finishing Week 1 after the No. 1 overall tight end, Juwan Johnson was one the most sought after players on waivers this past Wednesday in FFWC high stakes leagues. If you invested this summer in rookies Tyler Warren or Harold Fannin Jr. you are very happy with your decisions heading into Week 2 if they continue to see the volume going forward. Every week our FullTime Fantasy staff will try to highlight the players we feel strongly about either showing especially well and significantly outperforming their projections or falling far short of expectations. Knowing when not to start someone can sometimes be as useful as nailing a pick. In looking ahead to Week 2, we have landed on several tight ends to single out based on opening-week performance and usage coupled with their Week 2 matchups, circumstances and projections. So who will outperform, and who will disappoint at the tight end position? Let’s jump into our FullTime Fantasy Week 2 starts/sits: STARTS Tucker Kraft, Green Bay YTD – TE17: 9.9 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: TE6 – 14 FPTS Kraft opened with 9.9 fantasy points, showing increased usage with a 22% target rate despite Green Bay’s limited offensive plays. Against Washington, the Packers should be forced to throw more, keeping Kraft in the low-end TE1 conversation. Hunter Henry, New England YTD – TE15: 10.6 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: TE17 – 9.6 FPTS Henry picked up where he left off with Drake Maye, catching 4 passes for 66 yards on 8 targets. His chemistry with the rookie, especially in the red zone, gives him a safe weekly floor. Facing Miami, who just gave up a TE3 finish to Tyler Warren, Henry is a reliable TE1. SITS Colston Loveland, Chicago YTD – TE37: 3.2 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: TE34 – 4.4 FPTS Loveland was barely involved Monday night, catching two short passes. With plenty of mouths to feed in Chicago’s passing game, he’s just a deep TE2 for now. Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo YTD – TE4: 14.8 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: TE21 – 8.9 FPTS Kincaid had a solid box score with 48 yards and a TD, but his snap share and target competition are concerning. Splitting work with Dawson Knox makes him touchdown-dependent. Better options exist this week. Also check out: QB Start em Sit em RB Start em Sit em WR Start em Sit em TE Start em Sit em
2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Wide Receivers
2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Wide Receivers If you predicted that Zay Flowers, Keon Coleman, Quentin Johnston and Emeka Egbuka would finish as the top-4 overall wide receivers in FFWC league scoring, then please take a bow. On the flip side, if you were burned by Ja’Marr Chase, AJ Brown or Nico Collins we are here with a simple three-word message: “Do not panic!” Every week our FullTime Fantasy staff will try to highlight the players we feel strongly about either showing especially well and significantly outperforming their projections or falling far short of expectations. Knowing when not to start someone can sometimes be as useful as nailing a pick. In looking ahead to Week 2, we have landed on several wideouts to single out based on opening-week performance and usage coupled with their Week 2 matchups, circumstances and projections. Hint: We will not be suggesting to bench Chase, Brown or Collins! So who will outperform, and who will disappoint at the wide receiver position? Let’s jump into our FullTime Fantasy Week 2 starts/sits: STARTS Travis Hunter, Jacksonville YTD – WR38: 9.36 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: WR24 – 16.6 FPTS Hunter played primarily at receiver in Week 1, leading Jacksonville in targets (8) and catches (6). He was the first read on over a quarter of pass plays, and more production should come as efficiency improves. Against a Bengals team that gives up points and forces shootouts, Hunter remains a strong start. George Pickens, Dallas YTD – WR62: 6.0 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: WR11 – 19.9 FPTS Pickens was quiet in his Cowboys debut against Philly, but the matchup gets much softer versus the Giants. He should see Paulson Adebo in coverage, who has consistently graded below average. While Dallas may lean on the run if they control the game, Pickens still lands in the WR3 mix. SITS Calvin Ridley, Tennessee YTD – WR56: 6.7 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: WR20 – 17.7 FPTS Ridley was held to 27 yards on 8 targets against Denver and now faces a Rams defense that just shut down Nico Collins. His early-season schedule is rough, so keep him on the bench again. Jaylen Waddle, Miami YTD – WR54: 7.0 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: WR34 – 14.67 FPTS Waddle’s slump continued with only 30 yards last week. He’s topped 60 yards just twice in his last 15 games and has only six touchdowns in his past 30. The matchup with New England doesn’t help, making him a risky play.

2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Running backs
2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Running Backs Did studs Derrick Henry, Bijan Robinson or Christian McCaffrey carry you to an opening Week 1 victory? Or did Isiah Pacheco, Nick Chubb or RJ Harvey leave you crying the blues? Every week our FullTime Fantasy staff will try to highlight the players we feel strongly about either showing especially well and significantly outperforming their projections or falling far short of expectations. Knowing when not to start someone can sometimes be as useful as nailing a pick. In looking ahead to Week 2, we have landed on several running backs to single out based on opening-week performance and usage coupled with their matchups, circumstances and projections. So who will outperform, and who will disappoint at the pivotal RB position? Let’s jump into Week 2 starts/sits: STARTS Travis Etienne, Jacksonville YTD – RB6: 18.6 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: RB14 – 16.9 FPTS Etienne dominated against Carolina, rushing 16 times for 143 yards and adding three receptions. With Tank Bigsby traded, his workload looks even more secure. Etienne profiles as a strong RB2 this week. TreVeyon Henderson, New England YTD – RB25: 11.1 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: RB24 -12.4 FPTS Henderson flashed in his debut with 51 scrimmage yards on limited touches, and coach Mike Vrabel emphasized he’ll be a key part of the offense. The Dolphins just gave up 149 yards to Colts backs, setting up Henderson for a possible breakout. He’s an RB2 with upside. SITS Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City YTD – RB42: 4.8 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: RB30 -11.6 FPTS Pacheco’s Week 1 usage was troubling: just 48% of snaps, seven touches, and others vulturing key downs. Facing an Eagles defense that allowed the second-fewest RB fantasy points last year, he is a sit in shallower leagues. Kenneth Walker, Seattle YTD – RB39: 5.4 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: RB31 -10.7 FPTS Walker was already losing work to Zach Charbonnet, who played more snaps and had more carries. While Walker still caught 3 passes, he’s at risk of falling into a timeshare. With Pittsburgh tough up front, he’s more of a flex than an every-week starter.

2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Quarterbacks
2025 NFL Week 2: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Quarterbacks Congratulations if you got off to a 1-0 start in your FFWC league, but if you dropped your opening matchup you have some work to do, and we’re here to help. Every week we will try to highlight the players we feel strongly about either showing especially well and significantly outperforming their projections or falling far short of expectations. Knowing when not to start someone can sometimes be as useful as nailing a pick. In looking ahead to Week 2, we have landed on several quarterbacks to single out based on opening-week performance and usage coupled with their Week 2 matchups, circumstances and projections. So who will outperform, and who will disappoint at the signal-caller position? Let’s jump into Week 2 starts/sits: STARTS Justin Fields, NY Jets YTD – QB2: 29.5 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: QB15 – 20.9 FPTS Fields came out hot in Week 1, nearly hitting 30 fantasy points and finishing as QB2. He logged 12 carries for 48 yards, punched in two short rushing scores, and impressed through the air with a 73% completion rate and strong accuracy downfield. Now he gets a Bills defense that just surrendered 238 rushing yards to Baltimore. With his dual-threat ability and potential for negative game script, Fields has major upside again. Drake Maye, New England YTD – QB18: 15.8 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: QB12 – 21.6 FPTS Maye has been steady but unspectacular, usually landing between QB7 and QB18 whenever he plays a full game. He was QB18 last week with 287 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Still, he draws a Dolphins defense that posted the league’s lowest PFF grade in Week 1 and has four corners graded poorly in coverage. With the matchup squarely in his favor, Maye is a fringe QB1. SITS Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta YTD – QB10: 24.0 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: QB31 – 14.6 FPTS Penix Jr. impressed in Week 1 with 26 fantasy points, but faces a brutal test against Brian Flores’ aggressive Vikings defense. Unless you’re in superflex, keep him benched. C.J. Stroud, Houston YTD – QB26: 9.7 fantasy pts Fulltime WK2 Projections: QB16 – 20.9 FPTS Stroud struggled against the Rams with 188 yards, no scores, and an interception. Protection remains a huge concern, and Tampa’s pass rush may be even tougher. Until Houston’s line improves, Stroud isn’t trustworthy.
