George Pickens Held Without A Catch In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was unable to catch any of his three targets in a 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. Pickens was coming off an impressive six-catch, 61-yard, one-touchdown day back in Week 7 but he couldn't get anything going against a tough Philly secondary in Week 8. Pickens […]

Saquon Barkley Totals 62 Yards, Scores Touchdown In Week 8 Loss

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley recorded 53 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 attempts while he also brought in three of his five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Diontae Johnson Goes For Just 35 Yards In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught five of his nine targets for 35 yards in a 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren gained 50 yards on six carries and added 25 yards on three catches in a 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Daniel Jones Limited To 196 Total Yards In Week 8 Loss

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 17 of his 31 attempts for 176 yards while he also rushed for 20 yards on six carries in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The former first-round pick has been able to perform well despite not having much production through the air this season, but that wasn't […]

Najee Harris Catches Six Balls In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris carried the ball eight times for 32 yards and caught six of six targets for 26 yards in a 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Kenny Pickett Throws A Pick, Fumbles Twice In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett completed 25 of his 38 passes for 191 yards and one interception while adding 37 yards on seven carries in a 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Jake Elliott Converts Five Extra Points In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott converted all five of his extra point attempts during the team's 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.

Dallas Goedert Nabs All Six Targets, Gains 64 Yards

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught all six of his targets and gained 64 yards during the team's 35-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Irv Smith Jr. To Have An MRI

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (ankle) will need an MRI after injuring his ankle late in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Smith didn't impress in Week 8, amassing only four receptions for 28 yards. Overall, the 24-year-old hasn't done much on the fantasy end this season outside his two touchdown catches. While managers […]

Adam Thielen Has A Knee Contusion

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (knee) suffered a knee contusion during the win over the Cardinals on Sunday. Despite a brief exit due to the ailment, the veteran still caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards, one of his best showings of the year. Thielen has 10 receptions for 103 yards and […]

Brandin Cooks Leads Texans In Receiving In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four passes for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He was targeted six times. With Nico Collins sidelined, Cooks was the only real weapon for quarterback Davis Mills, as no other player had more than 24 receiving yards. With rumors floating around that Cooks could be […]

Christian Watson, David Bakhtiari Officially Active

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are officially active ahead of Sunday night's meeting with the Bills. The rookie has missed his previous two games after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5. The Packers will need all the help they can get with Allen Lazard […]

Titans Defense Posts Three Sacks, One Interception

The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams unit was a solid play in Week 8 against a lackluster Texans offense, as it forced one turnover and sacked quarterback Davis Mills three times. Tennessee nearly held Houston to no touchdowns, but Dameon Pierce added a late score when the game was essentially out of reach. With a matchup […]

Dameon Pierce Catches Touchdown In Week 8

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce had gone over 80 rushing yards in four consecutive games entering Sunday's contest against the Titans, but Tennessee's defense was able to shut the rookie down on the ground. Pierce had 15 carries, but produced just 35 yards. His fantasy day was salvaged, though, when he was on the […]

Randy Bullock Makes One Of Two Field-Goal Attempts

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock made just one of his two field goal attempts in the win over the Houston Texans. He made both of his extra point attempts set up by Derrick Henry touchdowns, but he ultimately was not a strong fantasy play in Week 8. The Titans' offense isn't explosive and head coach […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Game-Winner

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo scored 14 fantasy points in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The veteran kicker had struggled for fantasy players, scoring 10 total fantasy points over the previous three games. However, the former undrafted free-agent kicker made all three field goal attempts in Week 8, including a […]

Falcons Defense Scores A Touchdown

The Atlanta Falcons defense struggled in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. While Lorenzo Carter did have an interception he returned for a touchdown, the rest of the defense struggled. They had only one sack in the game and no other turnovers. Furthermore, Atlanta surrendered 30 or more points for the […]

Kyle Pitts Leads The Team In Receiving

Drake London Limited Against Panthers

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught four of his five targets in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie receiver had only 31 yards in the win and failed to find the end zone. Sunday marked the fourth game in a row where the former USC star had 40 […]

Austin Hooper Catches One Pass In Win

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught just one pass for five yards in the 17-10 win over the Houston Texans. Rookie Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes, so no Titans' pass-catcher was fantasy-viable in Week 8. Hooper could have a better chance to produce against Kansas City next week in a top-10 matchup for […]

Mac Jones Posts Modest Line In Win Over Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 24-of-35 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts. The 24-year-old threw a pick-six that was negated by a roughing the passer penalty in the first half that would have put the […]

Caleb Huntley Runs All Over Carolina

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley led the team with 16 rushing attempts in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The young running back also had a team-high 91 rushing yards and averaged 5.7 yards per rushing attempt in the win. While he split the backfield work with the rookie Tyler […]

Tyler Allgeier Totals 85 Yards In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier played a critical role in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers.

The veteran quarterback completed 71.4% of his 28 pass attempts in the game, totaling 253 yards on the afternoon.

Davis Mills Struggles Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 17-for-29 for 152 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans, throwing one touchdown while also getting picked off. Mills also added eight rushing yards. This was a juicy matchup against a Titans defense that has struggled to stop passing attacks, so the fact that Mills couldn't get it done […]

Robert Woods Catches Two Passes

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw 20 percent of rookie quarterback Malik Willis' targets, but that didn't amount to much when the team attempted just 10 passes. It was clear Tennessee was going to rely on running backs Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard to win this game with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) out, and that's […]

Dontrell Hilliard Totals 95 Yards In Win

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard totaled 95 yards on nine touches, making him a decent deep league flex play for fantasy managers in a tough spot. Hilliard has been explosive and shown he can produce when given the chance, so he should be rostered in deep leagues, at least as Derrick Henry's handcuff. If […]
