Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Seattle Seahawks secondary in Week 1. Seattle ranked 14th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, so it is a semi-tough matchup. However, Seattle is a bit banged up, with Tre Flowers (ankle) and Jamal Adams (hand) nursing injuries. Jones is likely to draw the bigger Flowers on the outside, who did have

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams gets a strong matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the 2020 season. In two games against Minnesota last year, Adams averaged 12.5 targets per game, 10 catches per game and 111 receiving yards per game. It’s a juicy matchup for the 27-year-old against Minnesota’s young cornerbacks, both of whom are relatively unproven at the NFL

The Jacksonville Jaguars backfield is a mess right now, but undrafted free-agent running back James Robinson appears to be the starter for the team. Because we don’t have much to go on this week, starting Robinson in season-long formats seems like a tough call, but he’s an interesting DFS option for fantasy managers who are looking to differentiate their lineups from everyone else’s. The Colts

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is best viewed as a TE2 for the Week 1 matchup against the Saints. With the presence of Rob Gronkowski, Howard’s fantasy value takes a hit, as he will not be the primary tight end target for quarterbackTom Brady. The Saints also proved to be a tough matchup for opposing tight ends last year. The Bucs still plan

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is a solid QB2 option with upside in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Minshew finished his rookie season with 3,271 passing yards on a 60.6 completion percentage with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. The 2020 Jaguars have a chance to be really bad, but bad teams can make for good fantasy plays, and Minshew’s likely going to be

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will make his debut with a new team for the first time in his career, and it will be a heavyweight battle against a divisional opponent in the Saints. Brady has a plethora of weapons in Tampa, and this should be a high-scoring affair. When it comes to Brady, it seems age is just a number. The 43-year-old should

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will appear in a new uniform for Week 1 of the 2020 season after being surprisingly released by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Always known as a workhorse back in the NFL, Fournette will have to fight with Ronald Jones II for that role in Tampa. Still getting acclimated to his new team’s system, Fournette will not have

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Richard Rodgers. Rodgers played for the Eagles last season, but only appeared in one game after playing in seven games in 2018. He signed with the Washington Football Team earlier this offseason but was released at final cuts. With Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert atop the depth chart, Rodgers won’t be asked to do much more than block

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is still the RB1 in Tampa after the team signed Leonard Fournette last week, but the back should be considered an RB3 for this week in fantasy. Jones must prove he is capable of shouldering the load as the RB1 with Fournette vying for that role while he gets up to speed on offense. His first chance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should be avoided in the Week 1 matchup against the Saints. New Orleans allowed the eighth-fewest points to the position last year, and it will be the kicker’s first game with a new team, as he just signed with Tampa a week ago. Last season, Succop only appeared in six games for the Tennessee Titans and kicked a career-low

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Chargers backfield ahead of Sunday’s season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Daniel Popper of The Athletic recently mentioned that Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley could also see a handful of touches in the offense, but there is no doubt that Ekeler is the featured piece. The 25-year-old ran 132 times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is coming off a breakout season in 2019 where he finished as the second-best fantasy wideout. This was with Jameis Winston at quarterback, so the addition of Tom Brady is another plus for the receiver. Godwin and Mike Evans enter 2020 atop the Bucs WR depth chart, but both should be considered equally valuable. With a solid engrained

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has only had 1,000-yard seasons in his NFL career, and the addition of quarterbackTom Brady only helps his value for 2020. With a stacked Tampa offense this season, Evans’ role is still big enough for him to sustain his fantasy value. Despite their generally sturdy defense, the Saints did allow the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts last year.

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (foot) will likely be eased back into the mix ahead of Sunday’s Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Michel has only practiced for the last two weeks after undergoing offseason foot surgery. While he is expected to suit up for Week 1, it seems apparent that the Patriots will limit his initial workload. This caps Michel’s fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski should be considered a low-end TE1 for this week’s matchup against the Saints. The talented tight end will be playing his first game since the 2018 Super Bowl, which was over one and a half years ago. Naturally, he may be shaking off some rust. Though it’s a plus playing on a high-powered offense with his old quarterbackTom

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense will face a stiff test in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints at the Superdome. Last year, the Bucs had a notoriously weak secondary, which many quarterbacks targeted. This season, the biggest concern on this defense is still in the secondary, as the team has young cornerbacks in Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting. With two high-powered offenses facing each other

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (undisclosed) returned to practice on Tuesday, which bodes well for his chances of playing against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Parker has been dealing with a minor injury and was spotted wearing a compression sleeve on his thigh/hamstring area. The 27-year-old is the unquestioned WR1 on the Dolphins’ depth chart and projects to build off of his breakout

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quad) was not seen at the team’s practice on Tuesday, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. The 26-year-old was limited at practice on Monday, and this does not bode well for his chances of playing in Thursday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. More will be known about Cooks’ status tomorrow, but this is not an ideal start

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) is reportedly “feeling a lot better,” according to head coach Adam Gase. The 26-year-old is presumed to return to practice soon, and the hope is that he can suit up for Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. Regardless, Perriman has not practiced since late August due to knee swelling, so expect some rust upon his return. Even

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice after being limited on Monday. Kelce was never in doubt to miss Thursday’s season opener against the Houston Texans, but it is nice to see him back to complete health. The 30-year-old is coming off of his fourth-straight season with over 80 receptions and 1000 receiving yards. He has been
