Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all three of his targets for 49 yards in the team's 30-13 blowout win over the Seahawks on the road in Seattle in Week 1 on Sunday.

Broncos Defense Holds Raiders To 17 Points, Does Little Else

The Denver Broncos defense was able to hold the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders to only 17 points in their Week 1 meeting on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to get the team a win to open the year, and they also did very little else to help fantasy managers. Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo put up […]

Wil Lutz Misses Field Goal And Extra Point

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz didn't endear himself to the Broncos faithful in his team debut in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. And in a game in which the Broncos lost by just one point by a score of 17-16, Lutz's missed field goal and missed extra point loomed […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Gets Off To Slow Start

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. didn't have the type of NFL debut he was hoping for in the 17-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, especially when you consider that teammate Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) didn't even play and tight end Greg Dulcich (leg) was injured early and never returned. Mims […]

Courtland Sutton Finds The End Zone In Loss To Raiders

In what was an otherwise pedestrian day in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton found the end zone on one of quarterback Russell Wilson's two touchdown passes on the day.

Adam Trautman's Fantasy Stock On The Rise After Season Opener

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman entered the 2023 regular season as the top TE on the depth chart, but it was still widely expected that Greg Dulcich (leg) would be Denver's top pass-catching target at the position. Dulcich injured his leg early in the Broncos' 17-16 Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders […]

Samaje Perine Averages Over Five Yards Per Carry

In running back Samaje Perine's debut with the Denver Broncos in Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, he was extremely efficient on the ground in a 17-16 loss.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams led the team in rushing attempts (13) and rushing yards (52) in the 17-16 season-opening loss to the visiting division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Russell Wilson Underwhelms In Season Opener

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson completed 27 of his 34 pass attempts in the season-opening loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and also threw a pair of touchdown passes, but he was otherwise very quiet and overall was a fantasy disappointment in his first game with new head coach Sean Payton. Wilson was without […]

Rangers Considering Calling Up Evan Carter

The Texas Rangers are considering calling up outfield prospect Evan Carter, their top prospect per MLB Pipeline, from Triple-A Round Rock. Carter's promotion was under consideration before All-Star outfielder Adolis Garcia (knee) was removed from Wednesday's contest with a right-knee injury, so Carter's odds of joining the big-league club have only increased. The struggling Rangers […]

Riley Adams Could Have Hamate Injury

Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams (hand) injured his left hand after fouling off a pitch on Wednesday against the New York Mets and had to leave mid-at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning.
