Chris Carson Poised For Huge Game In London

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson made his presence felt last week against the Rams by racking up his second straight 100-yard performance, but that may have just been a teaser for this week. Carson and Seattle's newfound commitment to the run are across the pond in London, and they're facing an Oakland defense that […]

Derwin James Leads A Strong Nickel Package

Los Angeles Chargers rookie safety Derwin James has taken the league by storm so far, and his presence has helped the team have one of the best nickel packages in the game. The Chargers are allowing just 4.9 yards per play when in a nickel defense, third-best in the NFL, and they get to face […]

Austin Ekeler Is Incredibly Efficient

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is the model of modern efficiency in the NFL. Ekeler is the next iteration of Danny Woodhead as he has adopted the "backup" role to Melvin Gordon and made it into a weapon. Ekeler is only averaging 9.5 touches per game, but he's turning those into an average […]

Melvin Gordon Should Feast Again

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has been one of the most valuable assets in fantasy so far, and he shouldn't be too slowed down in Cleveland. Gordon's versatility of running and pass-catching has him on pace for more than 1,800 total yards from scrimmage and a ridiculous 20 total touchdowns. While the Browns […]

Tyrell Williams Remains A Long Shot

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams continues to be a ghost of the field as he is in on most plays but barely gets any looks. This week in Cleveland, he'll likely end up in the same boat. Williams is a former 1,000-yard receiver, but he's averaging just three targets per game, so he's […]

Mike Williams May See More Chances

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been hurting for opportunities recently because there are so many good targets on the Chargers, but this week in Cleveland may give him more chances. Cleveland's young defense has been great at limiting quarterback fantasy performance this season, but they still give up plenty of points to […]

Keenan Allen Likely To Lead Team In Targets Again

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is the man when the team needs some yardage, but so far, he's been lost in the shuffle around the goal line. Allen is on pace to haul in nearly 1,200 yards this season, but his one lonely touchdown through five weeks is killing his fantasy scoring. The […]

Philip Rivers Still A Strong Play In Cleveland

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is off to one of the best starts of his career, but he'll be facing a pretty tough defense on Sunday. Rivers is on pace to clear 4,700 yards this season and post an incredible 42/6 TD/INT ratio, so he's been one of the most valuable QBs in the […]

David Moore Has Arrived

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore was a training camp favorite after some highlight-reel catches, but he was initially thought to be buried too deep in the wide receiver rotation to really be worthy of fantasy attention. Consider that position changed. Moore has clearly supplanted Brandon Marshall as the team's third wide receiver, and he […]

Doug Baldwin Held to One Catch By Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin was only targeted one time for one yard on Sunday against the Rams, and the concerns about his knee are now greater than ever. Baldwin has been supplanted by Tyler Lockett as the team's primary receiver for now, and he had already told reporters that he expected to deal […]

Tyler Lockett Makes Two Huge Catches

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett continued his strong performance this season by snagging a pair of big catches that helped keep Seattle in it against the Rams right until the end. Lockett made the easy catch on a wide open 39-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, and then he was the man who […]

Russell Wilson Throws Three TDs In Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson racked up three touchdowns in a game for the first time since Week 1, but he came up just short against the Rams on Sunday. Wilson finished 13-for-21 for 198 yards, and for the first time in his career, he finished the game with zero rushing attempts. Head coach Pete […]

Mike Davis Shines Again In Limited Carries

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis was at it again on Sunday as he powered through the Rams defense like Swiss cheese. Davis only carried the ball 12 times as Chris Carson took the lead back duties, but he tallied 68 yards and a touchdown in the limited action. He also told reporters after the […]

Chris Carson Dominates On The Ground

Returning from his hip injury, Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson looked like a stud against the Rams on Sunday. Carson ran for 116 yards on 19 carries, giving him two straight games in which he's exceeded 100 yards for the Seahawks. Carson sat out a week with the expectation being that first-round pick Rashaad […]

Melvin Ingram Leads Stellar Defensive Performance

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Melvin Ingram was all over the field on Sunday against the Raiders. Ingram took down Derek Carr for a sack on third down to end Oakland's opening drive, he snagged an interception in the end zone to shut down a potential scoring drive, and he even possibly scored a rushing […]

Caleb Sturgis Proves It Wasn't Just the Holder

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis was given the ultimate vote of confidence this week when head coach Anthony Lynn fired the team's punter over Sturgis' poor performance. After years of kicking woes, Lynn told reporters that surely all those kickers couldn't be that bad, and so he had fired the holder and brought in […]

Tyrell Williams Has Best Game Of Season

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams put up his best performance this year, but that's not saying much. Williams caught all three balls thrown his way for 66 yards, including a huge 48-yard gainer, but he was still held scoreless and relegated to the background for the majority of the game. The former 1,000-yard […]

Virgil Green Surprises With Touchdown

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Virgil Green caught everyone off guard when he rumbled his way in for a touchdown against the Raiders. The traditional blocking tight end, Green's TD was just the fifth of his eight-year career. Green's TD came by way of a screen pass that worked to perfection partially because nobody on […]

Mike Williams Held In Check Once Again

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams looked good again, and he was also barely used again. Williams was only targeted four times, hauling in three of the chances for 45 yards and no touchdowns. Williams is a dominant receiver in every way, shape, and form, but he simply can't get the regular attention necessary […]

Keenan Allen Leads The Way Outside

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was once again the man on the outside, but he continues to be robbed of the big score. Allen caught eight of nine balls thrown his way for 90 yards, but he was held without a touchdown for the fourth straight game. Allen is currently on pace to […]

Austin Ekeler Scores Huge Touchdown

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was the spark the Chargers needed on Sunday. Ekeler jump-started the offense when he snagged a 44-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter that allowed the team to never look back in their win over the Raiders. Like starter Melvin Gordon, Ekeler wasn't very effective on the ground […]

Melvin Gordon Finds The End Zone Again

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon had another strong day against the Raiders, and he still did what he does best, punch one into the end zone. Gordon's day on the ground wasn't terribly special as he only racked up 58 yards on 19 carries, but one of those was for a 1-yard touchdown. […]

Philip Rivers Puts Up Incredible Day

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was phenomenal in Week 5 against the Raiders. Rivers went 22/27 for 339 yards and two TDs while throwing no interceptions. The 81% completion rate marked the second time this season that Rivers has posted a completion rate over 80%, and his 12.56 YPA exceeds any he's posted since […]

Brandon Marshall Likely To Continue To Fade

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall seems to be slowing down and turning into a bit of a tight end for the Seahawks. Marshall initially led the team in targets at the start of the season, and it looked like his big frame may play well outside. Unfortunately, as the weeks have worn on, he's […]

Tyler Lockett Should Remain In The Mix

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner Tyler Lockett has been hot enough that he should still get some opportunities this week versus the Rams. Lockett has been the team's primary receiver while Doug Baldwin was sidelined with a knee injury, and that carried over last week when Baldwin made his return. Lockett and Baldwin tied for the […]

Doug Baldwin Should See Increased Usage In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin won't carry an injury tag into Sunday's game with LA, and he should start to see more work as well. Baldwin returned from his lingering knee injury last week and tied for the team lead in targets, but many critical situations resulted in the ball going elsewhere. Since Seattle […]

Russell Wilson Is A Risky Play In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is the epitome of a risky play right now. He's one of the most talented QBs in the league, he can single-handedly win a fantasy week, he's got one of the worst offensive lines in the game, he doesn't seem to get along with his offensive coordinator, and it's been […]

Mike Davis May See Some Work

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis was a surprise starter last week against Arizona, and even though he excelled, Chris Carson's return from a hip injury leaves Davis' future in question. Head coach Pete Carroll was coy with reporters this week as he refused to give away his game plan for Sunday, hinting at possibly […]

Chris Carson Returns to Action Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson will be playing on Sunday against the Rams, and he may go back to being the team's primary RB. Unfortunately, that's not quite as clear cut as it might seem. Carson's one-week absence allowed third-string running back Mike Davis to put up 101 yards against the Cardinals, and while […]

Frank Clark Insistent That He's Playing

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has been questionable all week to play Sunday versus the Rams due to food poisoning, but according to him, he's definitely playing. Clark took to Twitter on Friday night to tell followers that while he's lost a few pounds and been on IV fluids, "Im (sic) playing this Sunday, […]
