Latavius Murray Quiet Against Los Angeles

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had just seven yards on five carries during the loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Alvin Kamara Fades Away Against Rams

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was statistically absent during the Week 2 loss to the Rams, finishing with 45 yards on 13 carries in addition to just one reception for 15 yards.

Michael Thomas Gets A Healthy Amount Of Looks

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was targeted 13 times for the second week in a row, finishing with 10 receptions for 89 yards during the loss to the Rams. While it is concerning that Thomas won’t be catching passes from quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) for at least six weeks, he still saw his […]

Teddy Bridgewater Fills In on Sunday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater took over for Drew Brees, who prematurely exited after injuring his thumb, during the loss to the Rams and finished with 165 yards on 17-for-30 passing. With Brees heading for surgery and expected to be out for around six weeks, the 26-year-old will start for the foreseeable future. Despite […]

Emmanuel Sanders Heavily Targeted In Loss

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders pulled in 11 of his 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown during the Week 2 loss to the Bears. It was Sanders’ second game in a row in which he has scored while also accounting for both of quarterback Joe Flacco’s touchdowns on the year. He will […]

Phillip Lindsay Continues Timeshare

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay finished with 36 yards on 13 attempts to go along with four receptions (seven targets) for 30 yards.

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco went 35-for-50 for 292 yards and a touchdown, connecting with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders late in the fourth quarter in the loss to the Bears.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had just four receptions for 34 yards during the Week 2 win over the Eagles.

Calvin Ridley Shines Again

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley pulled in eight receptions (10 targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown during the Week 2 victory over the Eagles. It was yet another promising showing for the sophomore wideout as he has now recorded 12 receptions and two scores on the year. Look for him to continue to […]

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones pulled in just five of his 10 targets on Sunday against the Eagles, but still finished with 106 yards and two scores, including catching a 54-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter.

Devonta Freeman Quiet On The Ground

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman rushed for just 22 yards on 11 attempts during the Week 2 showdown with the Eagles, but he attempted to offset those numbers by pulling in three receptions for 42 yards. Nonetheless, it was still a relatively disappointing showing for the 27-year-old who has rushed for just 41 yards […]

Matt Ryan Has Seesaw Game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had an up-and-down game on Sunday night against the Eagles. Despite throwing for 320 yards and three touchdowns, the veteran also tossed three picks that nearly led to Atlanta’s second loss of the season.

John Brown Leads Team In Targets

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown pulled in seven of his eight targets for 72 yards in the win over the Giants. For the second week in a row, Brown led the team in looks from quarterback Josh Allen. He should be on the radar in all fantasy leagues, regardless of format, as Brown and […]

Cole Beasley Leads Bills In Yardage

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley hauled in all four of his targets for 83 yards during the win over the Giants on Sunday. It was another relatively productive outing for Beasley, who has served as quarterback Josh Allen’s No. 2 receiving option behind John Brown by compiling nine receptions (13 targets) over the first […]

Frank Gore Adds Another Touchdown To Resume

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore was the team’s leading rusher during the Week 2 win over the Giants.

[…]

Josh Allen Leads Team To Second Win

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was productive during the Week 2 win over the Giants. Allen was efficient across the board on Sunday, throwing for 253 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 21 yards and a score on seven attempts.

Mike Williams Likely To Play Sparingly

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) will likely play against the Lions. Williams returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two days, but even though he is likely to suit up, the plan is to utilize him in red-zone situations only.

Ronald Jones II Disappoints In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had just nine yards on four carries during the win over the Panthers on Thursday night.

Peyton Barber Virtually Monopolizes Rushing Attack

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber led the way against the Panthers in Week 2, finishing things up with 82 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. Although Ronald Jones II, who finished with just nine yards on four attempts, was rumored to become the No. 1 option moving forward, Barber got most of […]

Jameis Winston Plays Better In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played better in Week 2 against the Panthers. After a miserable performance in Week 1 against the 49ers, the 25-year-old semi-turned things around on Thursday by compiling 208 yards and a touchdown on 16-for-25 passing. Nonetheless, Winston has still fallen below fantasy expectations even though hopes were high entering […]

Joey Slye Accurate In Loss To Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye went 4-for-4 during the Thursday night loss to the Buccaneers. The rookie was efficient, to say the least, accounting for all of the team's offensive production while also tallying his second and third 50-plus yard kicks of the season. With quarterback Cam Newton failing to find the end zone throughout […]

Curtis Samuel Has A Better Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel picked things up in Week 2 against Tampa Bay, racking up 91 yards on five receptions (13 targets). After a poor showing against the Rams on Sunday that saw the 23-year-old pull in just three receptions for 32 yards, it was a positive outing to the delight of those […]

D.J. Moore Heavily Targeted In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in nine of his 14 targets on Thursday against the Buccaneers, finishing the night with 89 yards. Moore, who has been targeted 24 times throughout the first two games of the season, continues to receive the attention of quarterback Cam Newton, with the 22-year-old leading the team in […]
