Matt Ryan Tosses Three Touchdown Passes In Win

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 25 of 35 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns to one interception. Ryan effectively carved up the Broncos Defense to the tune of 8.1 yards per attempt, connecting on touchdowns with three different receivers. It was his fourth game this year with at least 250 passing yards and […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Makes Five Kicks In Win

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra points in a 27-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fairbairn hit from 54 yards, his second make of the season on three attempts from 50 yards and out. The veteran kicker could have had an even bigger day were it […]

Jordan Akins Sees Four Targets

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins returned from injury to see four targets, hauling in two of them for 19 receiving yards. Akins looked good in his return from injury, though he couldn't separate himself from fellow tight end Darren Fells. That could be a theme between these two, as the targets and snaps were […]

Darren Fells Held In Check By Jaguars

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught two of three targets for 26 receiving yards in a 27-25 win over Jacksonville. Much of Fells' fantasy opportunities come in the red zone, where the Texans traveled to just twice today thanks to their big-play ability. The return of Jordan Akins didn't help either, as Akins saw […]

Randall Cobb Has Quiet Day Against Jaguars

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb put up just 21 receiving yards on three catches in a victory over the Jaguars. Cobb took a backseat to fellow receivers Will Fuller V and Brandin Cooks, who combined for 183 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran receiver has developed a nice chemistry with Deshaun Watson, though it's […]

Brandin Cooks Delivers 83 Yards And A Touchdown

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks hauled in three of a team-high nine targets for 83 receiving yards and a touchdown in a 27-25 win over Jacksonville. Cooks showed off impressive after-the-catch ability, as he took a short pass from Deshaun Watson and scooted 57 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. The 27-year-old has […]

Will Fuller V Leads Team In Receiving Against Jaguars

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V caught all five targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Jaguars. Fuller showcased his wheels in the third quarter, speeding past the Jacksonville defense for a 77-yard score. It's his sixth straight game with a touchdown and his fourth with over 100 yards […]

Duke Johnson Takes Over Lead Role, Handles 21 Touches

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson was thrust into the lead role after starter David Johnson (head) sustained a concussion. The former Johnson replaced the latter, putting up 73 scrimmage yards on 21 touches with a rushing score. He didn't look very impressive on the ground, totaling just 2.6 yards per carry, though he salvaged […]

David Johnson Posts 16 Total Yards, Leaves With Concussion

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (head) carried the ball just two times for 16 rushing yards and left the game after sustaining a concussion. Johnson looked like he was on his way towards a good game, then, unfortunately, took a hit to the head and had to leave the contest. His fantasy managers will […]

Deshaun Watson Throws For 281 Yards, Two Scores

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 19 of 32 passes for 281 yards and two scores. Watson averaged a healthy 8.8 yards per attempt and even added 50 yards on the ground in another strong showing against the Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been about as steady as they come this year- he has at least […]

Phillip Lindsay, Tim Patrick Expected To Play

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) and wide receiver Tim Patrick (hamstring) are both expected to take the field in Week 9 against the Falcons. Lindsay was able to quickly upgrade his practice status each day this week while Patrick was limited all week. Atlanta's defense has been playing better since the coaching change, […]

Baker Mayfield Placed On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been placed on the COVID-19 list. Mayfield doesn't actually have the virus as of right now, though he was in close contact with someone who had tested positive. With the Browns on bye, the 25-year-old could be cleared by Wednesday, as long as he tests negative in the coming […]

Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis To Split Carries

Carolina Panthers running backs Christian McCaffrey and Mike Davis are expected to share the load against Kansas City in Week 9. The Panthers clearly want to be careful with McCaffrey after his high-ankle sprain and have a luxury at backup with how well Davis played. It's unclear how much of a split it will be, […]

Trent Brown To Miss At Least A Month

Las Vegas Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown is out at least a month after suffering complications from COVID-19. Brown also had a pre-game issue with an IV that left him in the hospital before the Week 8 game, which is something that the NFL is investigating. Let's hope that Brown makes a full recovery. Las […]

Jared Cook A Solid Starting Option

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook faces a stingy Buccaneers Defense in Week 9. Cook was able to haul in five passes for 80 yards back in Week 1 against this defense with the Saints at full strength. Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) will be back in the lineup, which could […]

Drew Brees Has Upside Against Tampa Bay

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is good to go for a pivotal divisional matchup with the Buccaneers. Brees had a minor shoulder injury that kept him limited in practice, though he was a full participant in the final practice session of the week. He'll be facing a stingy Tampa Bay defense that ranks first […]

Calvin Ridley Not Expected To Play Against Broncos

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) is not expected to play in Week 9 against the Broncos. Ridley wasn't able to practice at all this week while Atlanta has a bye coming up in Week 10. It makes too much sense to play it safe and sit their star wideout, especially considering he seems […]

Keenan Allen Eligible To Suit Up After Negative Test

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (illness) is now eligible to suit up against the Raiders after his second COVID-19 test came back negative. Allen fell ill on Saturday and has a sore throat, though he tested negative for the virus. He is now expected to play against Las Vegas, who doesn't have anyone […]

Matthew Stafford Will Play Against Vikings

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will play on Sunday after his final COVID-19 test was clear. Stafford was placed on the COVID-19 list after coming into contact with someone who had the virus, though he'll now be in the lineup for a smash spot against the Vikings' decimated secondary. They've allowed the fifth-most fantasy points […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Suit Up

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Saints. Godwin was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, though ramped up his practice efforts to full on Friday, which was great to see. It's been an injury-filled year for the star wideout- and opportunities may be harder to […]

Marquise Brown A WR3 Against The Colts

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown gets a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Colts in Week 9. Brown hasn't quite lived up to expectations this year, though it hasn't been for lack of involvement- he's seen at least six targets in every game except for last week against Pittsburgh. That kind of volume could certainly lend […]

Mark Andrews In The TE1 Range For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews faces a tough test in Week 9 against the Colts. No team has been stingier against tight ends, as they've allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Still, Andrews has four games with at least six targets and has found the end zone five times this […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has A Good Chance To Play

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) has a good chance to play in Week 9, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Elliott is dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered against the Eagles and was limited by it in practice. For what it's worth, owner Jerry Jones said he expects his star running back […]

Michael Thomas A Low-End WR1 Against Tampa Bay

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) appears ready to take the field for the first time since Week 1. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed earlier reports about Thomas, saying he's likely good to go barring a setback after a good week of practice. It's more than likely he's out there, though it […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Play

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Chargers. Jacobs had a DNP on Thursday after practicing fully on Wednesday, which was an ominous sign for Sunday. However, he turned things around with a limited session on Friday and will be on the field against […]

Alvin Kamara A Must-Start Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is the only team this year to hold Kamara under 100 scrimmage yards, as they've been a tough defense against opposing halfbacks. Still, the ultra-talented 25-year-old is handling a hefty workload and has seven touchdowns scored […]

Younghoe Koo A Strong Start

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo draws a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Koo has made 19 of 20 field goals and 14 of 17 extra points in 2020 and has four games this year with at least three made field goals. The 26-year-old has been a rock-solid fantasy kicker this season, which […]

Hayden Hurst A TE1 Against Broncos

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst faces the Broncos in Week 9. Hurst has at least 50 receiving yards in four of his last five games and could be looking at more targets if Calvin Ridley (foot) is unable to go. Denver has been a tough matchup for opposing tight ends, as they rank 12th […]

Russell Gage Should See More Targets Against Denver

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage could be looking at more looks in the passing game in a decent matchup against the Broncos in Week 9. Fellow wideout Calvin Ridley (foot) is banged up and questionable for the game, though he's a long-shot after not suiting up for any of the team's three practice sessions. […]

Calvin Ridley Questionable For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) has officially been listed as questionable for the Week 9 matchup with the Broncos. Ridley was unable to practice all week after suffering the foot injury against the Panthers in Week 8. His inability to even get in a limited session certainly doesn't bode well for his chances […]
