Daily Fantasy Football News, Notes and Updates FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 2 9/18/16
Daily Fantasy Football News, Notes and Updates FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 2 9/18/16 In this article, we'll be breaking down the top news around the league and provide you with an analysis of what we expect to happen. We will also provide you with an "every lineup guy" section, just like we did for baseball. So let's welcome football back into our lives, and let's get this show on the show on the road! In case you didn’t notice, on Saturday we released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and Player Lab which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a robust set of tools; well beyond anything we’ve ever had and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. Using tools like these for the NFL season is crucial and you can grab a free trial to test out yourself. START YOUR FREE TRIAL! A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Who's Out This is confirmed information and will be updated throughout the day. Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) will not suit up today. Zack Ertz (ribs) will not suit up on Monday. Trey Burton is expected to be the Eagles "receiving tight end." You can also expect Jordan Matthews to get a ton of targets. Josh Hill (ankle) will not suit on Sunday. Kenneth Dixon (knee) will not suit on Sunday. Jamaal Charles (knee) will not suit up on Sunday. It will be the same drill as last week. Spencer Ware will be the starter, but he will split carries with Charcandrick West Chris Ivory (illness) will not play again on Sunday. T.J. Yeldon will be the Jags' No.1 running back Who's In Arian Foster will play on Sunday Devonte Parker (hamstring) will play on Sunday Sam Bradford will start for the Vikings in Week 2 Russell Wilson (ankle) will play on Sunday Mohaemed Sanu (ankle) will play on Sunday. Julio Jones (ankle) will play on Sunday Todd Gurley will play on Sunday. Ignore the day off he had, it was simply a rest day for him. "Sneaky Play" Shane Vereen (NYG) vs. NO Everyone is talking about this Giants-Saints game like crazy. I hear a lot of Eli Manning, Odell, Victor Cruz and even Sterling Shepard, but I don't hear any love for Shane Vereen! Why is that? This guy is amazing in PPR formats...

It doesn't look like he will suit up this week, so you can expect Spencer Ware to be the starter, but he will split carries with Charcandrick West. Markus Wheaton (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday and is expected to play Sunday. Demaryius Thomas is still listed as day-to-day with a hip injury. I will keep you posted on his status, but for now, we'll consider him questionable. Chris Ivory was released from the hospital and is still questionable for Sunday's game. If he's unable to go, look for T.J. Yeldon to get a lot of touches this week. T.Y. Hilton is considered questionable for Sunday with an apparent knee injury he suffered in practice. I will keep you posted on his status. Zack Ertz (ribs) sat out again Thursday and I don't expect him to suit up Monday. Trey Burton is expected to be the Eagles "receiving tight end." You can also expect Jordan Matthews to get a ton of targets. Kendall Wright (hamstring) will not suit up once again in Week 2. You can expect for Tajae Sharpe to continue to get his targets. Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) still isn't 100% and is considered questionable for now. We will keep you updated on his status Devonte Parker (hamstring) was able to practice Thursday and looks like he will suit up for Sunday....
