Frank Gore Not An Appealing Option In Week 2

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore had a dreadful opening week to the season, but he still saw a heavy workload and that might not change in Week 2. Gore had 11 carries in Week 1 and was only able to muster 20 yards on the day. Bills head coach Sean McDermott has been insistent […]

John Brown Should Continue To See High Usage In Week 2

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown made waves in his Bills debut in Week 1, catching seven passes for 123 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted a team-high ten times in the game.

Devin Singletary A Potential Flex Play For Week 2

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary certainly flashed his big-play potential in his NFL debut in Week 1, gaining 70 rushing yards on just four carries while adding 28 receiving yards as well. While head coach Sean McDermott has been adamant this week that Frank Gore is still the team's starting running back, Singletary still […]

Josh Allen A Sneaky Start For Week 2

After an ugly Week 1 outing that featured four turnovers, fantasy owners might be understandably apprehensive to start Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in Week 2. However, heading into a favorable matchup against a Giants Defense that got torched by Dak Prescott for over 400 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1, Allen could very […]

Cole Beasley Misses Thursday Practice With Illness

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (illness) sat out Thursday's practice while dealing with an illness. The specifics as to the details of the illness haven't been revealed. Beasley was heavily involved in the Bills' offensive gameplan in Week 1, receiving nine targets, second on the team to only John Brown. He should continue to […]

Devin Singletary To Remain No. 2 Running Back For Bills

Despite a strong showing in his NFL debut, Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary will remain second on the running back depth chart behind starter Frank Gore. Head coach Sean McDermott voiced his decision to remain with Gore as the starter in interviews this week. The decision isn't a shocking one, but it's unfortunate to […]

T.J. Hockenson: Your New Dynasty TE1

It certainly didn’t take long for rookie first-round pick T.J. Hockenson to make his presence known in Detroit.

He led the team in receiving yards and […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has been the definition of inconsistency throughout the first four years of his NFL career.

Cole Beasley Catches Five Of Nine Targets In Bills Debut

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley had a decent Week 1 against the Jets, catching five passes for 40 yards on nine targets. Only John Brown had more targets (ten) and yards (123) for the team than Beasley did. The next-highest targeted wide receiver on the team after Beasley was Zay Jones with five. Beasley […]

Frank Gore Bottled Up For 20 Yards On Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore found little success against the Jets on Sunday, rushing the ball 11 times for just 20 yards. He was heavily outperformed by rookie Devin Singletary, who had 70 yards on just four carries. Singletary's performance is clearly the more noteworthy of the two, but Gore is still likely going […]

Josh Allen Has Rollercoaster Game In Week 1

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had an ugly game on Sunday, though it eventually resulted in a salvageable fantasy line and a Bills win. Allen had four turnovers in the game, two interceptions and two fumbles. However, he had 254 passing yards and 38 rushing yards with two touchdowns (one passing, one rushing). Both scores […]

Devin Singletary Has 98 Yards In NFL Debut

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary made his presence known in his NFL debut against the Jets. He gained 70 rushing yards on just four carries and had 28 receiving yards on five catches.

John Brown Shines With 123 Yards, Game-Winning Touchdown

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown certainly came out in style for his debut with the team. Brown caught seven passes for 123 yards and scored the game-winning 38-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Brown received a team-high ten targets in the game and certainly made the most of them. While touchdowns and 120-yard […]

Ito Smith Leads Anemic Falcons Run Game With 31 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had six carries for a team-high 31 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Vikings. Smith was more effective than starting running back Devonta Freeman, who gained just 19 yards on eight carries. Smith also caught his only target in the passing game for nine yards. This could be […]

Julio Jones Scores Late Touchdown In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a rough opening week to the season, totaling just 31 receiving yards, but a late fourth-quarter touchdown saved his stat line for the week. Jones led the Falcons in targets (as usual) with 11, but only reeled in six of them. Jones recently ended his holdout by signing […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Solid Week 1 With 57 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu caught five of his six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Calvin Ridley Scores Touchdown, Totals 64 Yards

Austin Hooper Leads Falcons In Receiving On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was one of the team's offensive bright spots on Sunday. Hooper caught all nine of his targets for 77 yards. He was second on the team in targets after Julio Jones, who received 11 targets from Matt Ryan. This is certainly very encouraging for Hooper going forward. If he […]

Devonta Freeman Fumbles, Totals Only 31 Yards

It was a nightmare of an opening week for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. The Vikings suffocated the Falcons' running game, holding Freeman to just 19 yards on eight carries. Ito Smith was the team's leading rusher on the game, gaining 31 yards on six carries. Freeman had four targets through the air and […]

Matt Ryan Salvages Day With Two Late Touchdowns

Things were looking pretty ugly for three quarters for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan on Sunday, but he was able to somewhat salvage his stat line in the fourth quarter. In the Falcons 28-12 loss to the Vikings, Ryan completed 33 of 46 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns. He was also picked off […]

Falcons Defense A Risky Week 1 Start

The Falcons Defense opens the year with a road matchup against the Vikings. Last year, the Falcons allowed the fifth-most yards in the league and the eighth-most points in the league. A lot of that was due to the fact that the Falcons' offense was so prolific last year that their opponents were often playing […]

Matt Bryant Set To Return As Falcons Kicker

The Atlanta Falcons recently brought back veteran kicker Matt Bryant after trying out Giorgio Tavecchio and Blair Walsh in the preseason. After Tavecchio and Walsh struggled, the team decided to cut them and re-sign Bryant. The 44-year-old Bryant will return to the same role he's had with the Falcons since 2009. He converted 95.2% of […]

Ito Smith Not A Viable Week 1 Starting Option

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith should see a lot of playing time this year as the primary backup to Devonta Freeman. Expect him to get about five carries and two or three targets this week. In a tough matchup on the road against the Vikings, it's hard to rely on too much production from […]

Mohamed Sanu Could Be Sneaky Week 1 Starting Option

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has mostly been in the background this offseason as the hype has surrounded his teammate and fellow wide receiver Calvin Ridley. However, with the team's No. 1 receiver Julio Jones potentially out this week against the Vikings, Sanu could stand to benefit just as much as Ridley. The Vikings […]

Austin Hooper Is A Low-End TE1 For Week 1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could provide a safety net and a strong end-zone target for quarterback Matt Ryan in a tough Week 1 matchup against the Vikings. The big story surrounding the Falcons offense heading into Week 1 is the availability of wide receiver Julio Jones, who is in the midst of contract negotiations with […]

Calvin Ridley Could Be Poised For Strong Week 1

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley capitalized on teams double-teaming No. 1 receiver Julio Jones all year last year, but this week he may find himself capitalizing off of Jones' absence. As Jones remains in contract negotiations with the Falcons, he's looking less and less likely for Week 1. If Jones indeed misses the game, […]

Start Devonta Freeman In Week 1 With Tempered Expectations

After an injury-shortened 2018 campaign, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman is now healthy and should be geared up for a big workload in 2019. The Falcons start their season off with a tough road matchup against the Vikings. While the Vikings were better against the pass than they were against the rush last year, […]

Matt Ryan Start-Worthy In Tough Week 1 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will have a tough test to start the year as he travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, who allowed the third-fewest passing yards in the NFL last year. Things could also get more difficult for Ryan if he's without star wide receiver Julio Jones, whose status is very […]

Bills Defense Primed For Strong Performance In Week 1

The Bills Defense opens the year with an extremely favorable matchup on the road against the Jets. Last year, the Jets were amongst the bottom-third of the league in both points scored and total yards. Meanwhile, the Bills gave up the fewest passing yards in the league last season and should pose a big problem […]
