Texans Defense Has Productive Day In Loss

The Houston Texans defense put together a strong game despite the loss to Miami. Houston picked up four sacks and two interceptions- as they took advantage of Dolphins backup Jacoby Brissett. Leading the way for Houston was defensive end Jordan Jenkins, who tallied 1.5 sacks and three quarterback hits. The Texans' defense isn't going to […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Makes All Three Field Goals

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to Miami. Fairbairn was busy on a day where the Texans couldn't get into a rhythm on offense, as he made his opportunities count. The former Pro Bowler set a new season-high in makes but won't have much upside in a Texans […]

Nico Collins Quiet In Loss To Miami

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught all three targets for 25 yards but failed to find the end zone in Sunday's loss to Miami. Collins has flashed potential at times but has yet to reach his ceiling for fantasy purposes. The rookie may need to be operating in a different offense with more upside, […]

Danny Amendola Sees Seven Targets

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola saw five-plus targets for the fourth time this season in Sunday's defeat at the hands of the Dolphins. Amendola ranked up a season-high 49 receiving yards- and it was encouraging to see him still operate as one of Tyrod Taylor's favorite options. Still, the veteran wideout will be more […]

Brandin Cooks Leads Team In Receiving In Loss

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team in each receiving category in a 17-9 loss to the Dolphins. Cooks saw double-digit targets for the fourth time this year, hauling in six of them for a team-high 56 yards. The 28-year-old was quarterback Tyrod Taylor's preferred receiver on a tough day at the office […]

David Johnson Totals 40 Scrimmage Yards

Houston Texans running back David Johnson carried the ball four times for 11 rushing yards while adding three catches for 29 receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. Johnson was more involved in the offense this week but still failed to be fantasy-relevant. The veteran runner has had two disappointing games since the departure […]

Phillip Lindsay Leads Team In Rushing

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay led his team in rushing yards in Sunday's loss to Miami. Lindsay's 28 yards were his second-highest total of the year, which shows how much the Texans have struggled to get the run game going. The 27-year-old seems to be getting a bigger slice of the pie with Mark […]

Tyrod Taylor Throws Three Interceptions In Loss

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled mightily in his return to the field Sunday against the Dolphins. Taylor threw for 240 yards and rushed for 23 yards but was held without a score, as he threw three interceptions. The dual-threat signal-caller was in a position to succeed against a beatable Dolphins defense but also didn't […]

Ian Thomas Picks Up Just One Catch In Loss

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas caught just one pass for nine yards in a loss to the Patriots. Thomas was in for a tough matchup against a Bill Belichick defense anyway, but matters were made worse by the struggles of Sam Darnold, who couldn't get anything going against New England's defense. The tight end […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Held Without A Catch In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. didn't record a single catch in Sunday's defeat to the Patriots. Marshall still has yet to exceed 50 receiving yards and has six games with four or fewer receptions. The rookie has underwhelmed this season, though he's dealt with injury and inconsistent quarterback play, both of which certainly […]

Robby Anderson Disappoints Once Again

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson caught just one of three passes for two yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Anderson's tough year continued, as he was one of the worst performers on a day where the offense struggled to do much of anything. The speedy wideout was visibly frustrated on the sideline, as […]

D.J. Moore Leads Team In Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore saw a team-high seven targets in a 24-6 loss to the Patriots. Moore's high-volume role continued- but he was unable to make the targets count. It's worth noting that quarterback Sam Darnold's struggles didn't help, but it was still disappointing to see Moore held under 50 yards for just […]

Chuba Hubbard Resumes Backup Role In Week 10 Loss

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard saw just three carries in Sunday's defeat to New England. Hubbard took a backseat to Christian McCaffrey as expected, totaling just four touches to the latter's 18, though the rookie did pick up 33 yards on his one catch of the day. The rookie could spell McCaffrey more often […]

Christian McCaffrey Goes For 106 Scrimmage Yards In Return

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey carried the ball 14 times for 52 rushing yards, adding 54 receiving yards on four catches in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. McCaffrey made it through his pre-game workout and the contest unscathed, looking good in his return to the field, as he was able to still get his […]

Sam Darnold Intercepted Three Times In Loss To Patriots

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold struggled mightily in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Facing a familiar foe, Darnold saw the ghosts of old, tossing three interceptions against Bill Belichick's defense, one of which was returned 88 yards for a score.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts saw the second-most targets on the team in a 27-25 win over the Saints in Week 9. Pitts corralled three passes for 62 yards, picking up a hefty chunk of them on a 39-yard reception. The talented rookie has now exceeded the 50-yard mark in five of eight contests […]

Tajae Sharpe Hauls In Just One Pass

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe caught just one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-25 win over New Orleans. Sharpe was coming off producing 50-plus yards in two of his last three games- so it was disappointing to see him targeted just one time against a beatable Saints secondary. The 26-year-old is too up-and-down […]

Russell Gage Tallies Season-High Seven Receptions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage produced a solid effort in Sunday's win over the Saints. Gage tallied a season-high seven receptions on eight targets, placing second on the team with 64 yards. The 25-year-old was a safety blanket over the middle of the field for quarterback Matt Ryan, as evidenced by his 9.1 yards […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Finds The End Zone Twice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus tallied just three receptions but made them count in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Saints. Zaccheaus' first catch of the day was a three-yard score in the red zone, followed by a big, 49-yard catch later in the game. He capped off his day with a six-yard touchdown reception […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Excels As Receiver In Sunday's Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson struggled as a ball-carrier but found success in the passing game in Sunday's win over the Saints. Patterson averaged just 1.1 yards per carry but tallied a season-high 126 receiving yards on six catches. The dynamic halfback picked up a healthy chunk of yardage on one play late in […]

Mike Davis Stymied By Saints

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis was held in check in a Week 9 win over the Saints. Davis had no room to run against a tough Saints' front, as he totaled just 13 rushing yards on nine attempts while hauling in one pass for five receiving yards. The 28-year-old halfback has been held to […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 343 Yards, Scores Three Touchdowns

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 22 of 30 passes for 343 yards with two touchdowns through the air and one on the ground in a 27-25 win over the Saints. Ryan was aggressive downfield, as he had several completions go for 30 yards or more while averaging a season-high 11.4 yards per attempt against […]

Russell Westbrook Struggles With Shot In Saturday's Loss

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook struggled mightily with his shot in Saturday's loss to Portland. With LeBron James (abdominal strain) ruled out and Anthony Davis (stomach illness) exiting early, Westbrook saw most of the usage, though he struggled to produce, shooting just 1-for-13. The talented guard did somewhat salvage his night with nine rebounds, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Puts Up 15-17 Line On Perfect Shooting

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic put together a monster fantasy line in just 22 minutes of a 105-90 win over the Lakers.

Damian Lillard Leads All Scorers With 25 Points Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard put forth an encouraging performance in Saturday's win over the Lakers. Lillard led the way with 25 points on 9-for-19 shooting from the field, handing out six assists. After an ugly four-point, 0-for-6 shooting performance from downtown, the star guard found his rhythm from beyond the arc, as he […]

Chris Paul Has Fourth Straight Double-Digit Assist Game

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul continued his playmaking clinic in Saturday's 121-117 win over the Hawks. Paul dished out 13 assists while committing just two turnovers, in other words, just another day at the office for the Point God. The Wake Forest product only took eight shot attempts but hit on five of them to […]

Trae Young Drops 31 Points With 13 Dimes

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was at his best as a scorer and playmaker in Saturday's loss to the Suns. Young was the engine of the Hawks' offense, pouring in 31 points and 13 assists in a season-high 39 minutes. The Oklahoma product hit on 10 of his 23 field-goal attempts and 4 of 9 […]

Devin Booker Scores Season-High 38 Points With Full Line

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker exploded for a season-high 38 points in Saturday's win over the Hawks.

The star guard knocked down five free throws while chipping in […]

Buddy Hield Drains Eight Triples In Blowout Win

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield delivered one of his best efforts of the season in Friday's 140-110 win over the Hornets. Hield dropped 26 points with a season-high eight three-pointers while chipping in four assists and three rebounds. The streaky shooter has had some up-and-down performances this year- but his upside has been through the […]
