Footballguys • • sports
Key Points:
- Arizona Cardinals will continue to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback for the near future, with veteran Kendrick Bourne showing potential as a slot receiver and fantasy WR3 option.
- The Patriots face challenges after A.J. Brown's IR exit and questionable handling of Kayshon Boutte, raising concerns about Drake Maye's fantasy value potentially regressing.
- The Colts' offense struggled in Week 1, with quarterback Anthony Richardson needing improvement to avoid defensive pressure; wide receivers Alec Pierce and Josh Downs have uncertain outlooks.
- Derrick Henry's Week 1 performance remains strong despite age concerns, aided by changes in blocking personnel and offensive scheme favoring his downhill running style.
- Tight end Dallas Goedert emerged as a key Philadelphia offensive weapon in Week 1, especially with A.J. Brown sidelined, while Hunter Henry and rookie Eli Raridon provide red-zone options for the Patriots.
