Kyle Pitts Draws Favorable Week 3 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has continued to be disappointing in fantasy football, catching just four passes for 49 yards thus far in 2023. However, the tight end position is scarce and weak overall, so fantasy managers might just want to ride it out with him and hope a boom week comes. His Week […]

Drake London Has High Ceiling, Low Floor Against Lions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught zero passes in Week 1, then caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.

Tyler Allgeier Remains Mid-Level Flex Option

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was the RB4 overall in standard scoring formats in Week 1 but had a disappointing Week 2 effort with 16 carries for 48 yards.

Anthony Brown Joins 49ers Active Roster

Veteran cornerback Anthony Brown was signed to the San Francisco 49ers' active roster on Tuesday.

Deshaun Watson Won't Face Discipline For Contacting Official

David Montgomery Deemed Day-To-Day

Updating from a previous report, Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh) is being considered day-to-day after suffering a thigh bruise in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

49ers Plan To Involve Elijah Mitchell More

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team has to do a better job with its running back rotation and giving Christian McCaffrey 100% of the running back touches (like in Week 2) is not the plan.

Lions Defense Torched For 393 Yards, 37 Points In Loss

The Detroit Lions defense allowed 393 total yards and 37 points in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six of his seven targets for 102 yards in the 31-37 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
