JuJu Smith-Schuster Catches Seven Balls

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven of his eight targets for 48 yards in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. While the seven catches were nice, Smith-Schuster's 6.9 yards per catch is not what fantasy gamers were looking for out of their WR1. To make matters worse, Smith-Schuster watched […]

Diontae Johnson Explodes For 92 Yards, TD

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had a big afternoon in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Johnson caught eight of his 13 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the win.

Benny Snell Jr. Returns To Backup Role In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. returned to a backup role behind James Conner in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2.

James Conner Tops 100 Yards, Finds End Zone

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner had a nice game in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Conner carried the ball 16 times for 106 yards and a touchdown and added two catches for 15 yards in the win. It was a solid, albeit somewhat unexpected, outing for Conner, who left […]

Steelers Defense A Top Option In Week 2

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense was excellent in their season-opening road win over the New York Giants in Week 1. They will travel back home to take on the Denver Broncos in a plus matchup in Week 2. Denver's offense was generous to fantasy defenses last season and might be without top wide receiver Courtland Sutton […]

Eric Ebron A TD-Dependent TE2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron had a disappointing debut with his new team, catching just one of two targets for 18 yards in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Ebron will hope for a larger role in the offense when he takes on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 2. […]

Diontae Johnson A WR3 In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is coming off a Week 1 win which saw him lead his team with 10 targets. The second-year wideout will look to build upon that performance in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Johnson has been dealing with a toe injury for the past couple of weeks but he […]

Benny Snell Jr. A Shaky Flex In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. burst on the scene with 19 carries for 113 yards in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Snell saw extra work after starter James Conner went down with an ankle injury. He was a popular waiver add earlier in the week while Conner's status for […]

Tyler Mahle Tames White Sox In Strong Start

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tyler Mahle pitched well in a 7-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Mahle allowed just one run over 5 2/3 innings while striking out eight and walking two. The start was especially impressive considering it came against a White Sox lineup that has been one of the most dangerous […]

Jesse Winker Hits Three-Run Blast In Win

Cincinnati Reds DH Jesse Winker went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a 7-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Winker took Chicago right-hander Jonathan Stiever deep in the third inning as part of a five-run barrage.

Browns Defense Picks Up Three Sacks In Win

The Cleveland Browns Defense picked up three sacks in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Cleveland also recovered a Joe Burrow fumble near the Cincinnati goal line in the game, which wasn't as close as the final score indicates. Myles Garrett led the way as he was the one who forced […]

Austin Hooper Goes For 21 Yards In Win

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught two of four targets for 21 scoreless yards in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. It was another quiet game for Hooper, who only caught two passes for 15 yards in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. There was some hope he would […]

Jarvis Landry Catches Three Passes

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught three of his four targets for 46 yards in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. It was a quiet game for Landry, who can normally be counted upon to see more than four targets in most games. That being said, the Cleveland offense under […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Scores In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught four of his six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Beckham and Baker Mayfield connected for a pretty 43-yard touchdown in the second quarter to give Cleveland their second TD of the evening. That went […]

Kareem Hunt Scores Pair Of TDs

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt had a big day in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Hunt carried the ball 10 times for 86 yards and a score while adding two catches for 15 yards and another TD in the winning effort. Hunt got wide open behind the closest defender […]

Nick Chubb Scores Twice In Week 2 Win

Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 16 of 23 passes for 218 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Mayfield was effective in the win, finding Odell Beckham Jr. for a 43-yard score in the second quarter and a wide-open Kareem Hunt for a six-yard […]

Browns Defense A Sneaky Option In Week 2

The Cleveland Browns Defense did not fare well in a 38-6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Of course, the Ravens have one of the most dangerous offenses in the league, so last week's outcome isn't all that surprising. The Browns have a chance to bounce back in Week 2's Thursday night […]

Austin Hooper A TE2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper had a slow debut for his new team in Week 1. Hooper finished with just two catches for 15 yards and was overshadowed by fellow tight end David Njoku, who found the end zone. Hooper could be a larger part of the offense going forward as Njoku landed on […]

Jarvis Landry Expected To Suit Up Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is expected to play in his team's Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Landry missed practice on Tuesday and was limited on Wednesday. The extra rest appears to have been precautionary as Landry had hip surgery back in February. Landry will face off against […]

Odell Beckham Jr. A WR3 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had an up-and-down game in Week 1's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He led the team with 10 targets but only finished with three catches for 22 yards against an excellent Baltimore secondary. He should find it much easier to operate in Week 2's Thursday night game […]

Kareem Hunt A Low-End RB2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt outproduced starter Nick Chubb in Week 1's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt out-touched Chubb 17 to 11 and outgained him in total yards, 81 to 66. Week 1's game script favored Hunt as the Browns fell behind early and shifted into catch-up mode. Cleveland is installed as […]

Nick Chubb A Solid Play In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had a slow afternoon in his team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Chubb finished with just 11 total touches for 66 yards, six fewer touches than backup Kareem Hunt. Of course, the Browns fell behind early in that contest and shifted into catch-up mode, a game […]

Baker Mayfield Hard To Trust In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a disappointing performance in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, throwing for just 189 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to put that behind him when he takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2's Thursday night matchup. While Mayfield wasn't […]

Luis Castillo Strikes Out 10 In Wednesday Win

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo tossed a gem in a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Castillo threw seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out 10. He picked up the win to improve his record to 3-5 to go along with a 3.03 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and […]

James Conner Absent From Wednesday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Conner left Monday night's win over the New York Giants during the second quarter after injuring his ankle and did not return. Head coach Mike Tomlin did indicate to reporters on Tuesday that they weren't ready to rule Conner out of Week 2's […]

Diontae Johnson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) missed practice on Wednesday, according to reports. Johnson also missed time last week with what appears to be the same ailment, as he was held out of the Wednesday and Thursday sessions before getting a full practice in on Friday. So far, there are no reports that his […]
