Steven Sims Makes One Catch In Win Versus Dallas

J.D. McKissic Quiet In Win Over Cowboys

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic wasn't very involved against the Cowboys as he logged just three touches in the win.

McKissic had been highly involved in the passing game […]

Antonio Gibson Feasts On Cowboys

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has tested positive for COVID-19. The news comes after the Thanksgiving matchup against the Steelers was moved to Sunday due to J.K.

Jordan Akins Has Forgettable Day

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins saw two targets and failed to record a catch in a Week 12 win over Detroit. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, both targets grazed off his hands in the end zone- so the day could have been a fruitful one. The good news is, Akins seems to have a […]

Keke Coutee Blanketed In Week 12 Win

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee caught two of three targets for 17 yards in a 41-25 win over Detroit. Coutee nearly hauled in a deep pass from Deshaun Watson early in the game, but it was just out of his reach. Other than that, the 23-year-old took a backseat to Will Fuller V and […]

Brandin Cooks Has Efficient Day

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught all five targets for 85 receiving yards in a 41-25 win over the Lions.

Will Fuller V Has Monster Game In Win Over Lions

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V had a monster game in a Thanksgiving day win over the Lions. Fuller caught six of seven targets for a season-high 171 yards and two touchdowns.

Matthew Stafford Disappoints In Thanksgiving Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 28 of 42 passes for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Lions 41-25 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving.
