Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards and added three receptions for 18 yards in a 23-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. He showed some flashes of his explosiveness as his longest carry went for 16 yards and his longest reception went for 10 yards. Cook failed […]

Daniel Jones Efficient In Week 1 Win

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 17 of his 21 attempts for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. The former first-round pick was under duress for the majority of Week 1 as he was sacked five times. The 25-year-old quarterback wasn't asked to throw the ball […]

Derrick Henry Has Unproductive Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry posted just 82 rushing yards on 21 attempts, and once again proved to be a "zero" in the receiving game. He failed to find the end zone, so this will go down as a "bust" week for the two-time rushing champion. He usually takes time to heat up, but […]

Chris Olave Limited Against The Falcons

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was limited in the Week 1 comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie wide receiver had only three targets in the game. However, he caught all three for 41 yards in the win. Jameis Winston was solid for the Saints but targeted Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry […]

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 26 of his 34 pass attempts for 279 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-19 Week 1 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked sharp in the team's 44-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. The former MVP was 30-for-39 for 360 yards with five touchdowns.

Justin Jefferson Goes Off With 184 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a monster performance in Week 1, putting up nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns.

Ryan Tannehill Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 20 of his 33 passing attempts for 266 yards and two touchdowns. He posted 23.34 fantasy points, good for a QB10 finish before Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football.

Jarvis Landry Has Team-High Seven Receptions

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry was very productive in his team debut. He had seven receptions on nine targets for 114 yards, all team-highs. Furthermore, he was a consistent option for Jameis Winston as the Saints made their comeback victory. The former LSU Tiger scored 18.4 PPR fantasy points in Week 1 despite […]

Russell Gage Will Play On Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Gage had been questionable heading into this one. However, with Chris Godwin (knee) also active, Tom Brady will have a plethora of options to throw to. While the presence of Godwin, Mike Evans, and Julio Jones could certainly […]

Michael Thomas Scores Twice In Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas started slowly in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. However, the former Ohio State Buckeye was critical in the Saints' comeback victory. Thomas scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including a score with under four minutes left in the game. Despite facing a talented Atlanta […]

Kyle Rudolph Inactive Versus Dallas

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. The Bucs are high on Cameron Brate and Cade Otton, so both men figure to get some targets from Tom Brady in the opener. Unfortunately for them, Chris Godwin (knee) is active, so their outlook for Week 1 isn't as bright […]

Alvin Kamara Quiet In Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was disappointing in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran running back had only nine rushing attempts for 39 yards in the win. He was also limited in the passing game, catching three of his four targets for only seven yards. While the lack of […]

Jason Sanders Achieves Perfection In Week 1

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 2-for-2 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals during the team's Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. His two field goals came from 43 and 49 yards out. As long as he can continue to be accurate, the Dolphins have a strong enough offense to support […]

Greg Zuerlein Misses Two Kicks In Week 1

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two of his kicks in his Jets debut, a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Zuerlein tried two field goals, making one and missing the other, and missed his only extra point attempt. Both of Zuerlein's field goal attempts came from 45 yards out, he made one […]

Jalen Tolbert A Healthy Scratch For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert won't play in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie is a healthy scratch, and with Michael Gallup (knee) also out, the team will be missing some pivotal pieces on the receiving end. Still, Dak Prescott will have plenty to work with, as the veteran will likely […]

Dolphins Defense Forces Three Turnovers, Scores Touchdown

The Miami Dolphins defense left its mark in Week 1, tallying two fumble recoveries, one interception and one touchdown while defeating the New England Patriots. Brandon Jones and Kader Kohou forced fumbles while Melvin Ingram and Jaelan Phillips tallied recoveries. Ingram's recovery turned into a two-yard scoop-and-score, giving Miami a defensive touchdown. Additionally, Jevon Holland […]

Jameis Winston Throws Two Touchdowns In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston completed 67.7% of his passes in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Furthermore, the former Florida […]

Tyler Conklin Scores A Touchdown In A Week 1 Loss

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin scored the only Jets touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Conklin was targeted seven times, making four catches for 14 yards and the one score.

Raheem Mostert Registers Six Touches Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed five times for 16 yards against the New England Patriots on Sunday. He also hauled in his lone target for 16 yards through the air. The veteran back is the clear No. 2 behind Chase Edmonds in both the running and passing game. He's a fine insurance option […]

Chase Edmonds Gets Involved As Receiver In Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds rushed 12 times for 25 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 1. He also hauled in all four of his target for an additional 40 yards through the air. While Edmonds' performance on the ground was certainly disappointing, he made up for it with a good effort […]

Chris Godwin Active For Sunday Night Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Under normal circumstances, Godwin would be a lock in all fantasy formats. However, considering he's coming off an ACL tear from last season, there's a chance he'll be on a snap count. Yet, the veteran still has […]

Tyreek Hill Commands A Dozen Targets Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill totaled 12 targets, eight catches and 94 yards in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He led the team in all three of those categories. Hill was the clear No. 1 receiving option in the Miami offense and has quickly earned quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's trust. He should be […]

Braxton Berrios Makes Five Catches In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios was targeted six times in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, making five catches for 37 yards. Jets quarterback Joe Flacco, constantly under duress throughout the game, attempted 59 passes in this one, so there may be fewer targets to go around in other games. Still, […]

Jaylen Waddle Finds End Zone In Season Opener

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle turned five targets into four catches, 69 yards, and one touchdown during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. He was the clear No. 2 option behind Tyreek Hill, but he still turned in an impressive performance that put him in the WR2 territory this […]

Elijah Moore Catches Five Passes In A Week 1 Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore made five catches in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Moore was targeted on seven of quarterback Joe Flacco's 59 pass attempts, and gained a total of 49 yards on his five grabs. Flacco missed Moore when he was open twice in this game, so he […]

Garrett Wilson Catches Four Passes In His NFL Debut

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson made four catches in his first NFL game, a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Wilson was targeted eight times, with his four catches totaling 52 yards. Due to negative game script from almost the first whistle, Jets quarterback Joe Flacco ended up attempting 59 passes. […]

Brandon Bolden Won't Return In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) won't return to the Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Bolden only had three carries for seven yards on the ground. However, he made some noise by accumulating two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown, pulling in an 18-yard pass from Derek Carr early […]

Curtis Samuel Leads Commanders In Receptions

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught eight out of 11 targets for 55 yards and a touchdown, along with four rushes for 17 yards in Sunday's win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Mike Gesicki Underwhelms In Week 1 Outing

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in his lone target for just one yard during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. His lack of involvement wasn't a major surprise considering Miami's weapons and New England's strong safety room, but his final stat line was still lower than expected. Next […]
