T.J. Hockenson Quiet Again In Week 9

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught three of seven targets for 56 yards in the Lions Week 9 loss to the Raiders. The seven targets are the most Hockenson has seen since his monster Week 1 performance against the Cardinals, but he disappointed fantasy owners yet again on a day where quarterback Matthew Stafford threw […]

Ty Johnson Disappoints For Second Consecutive Game

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson led the Lions backfield in touches in Week 9, but not much else went his way in this one. The running back assumed by many to be the best option this backfield had to offer when Kerryon Johnson (knee) was placed on IR has not been able to establish […]

J.D. McKissic Finds Pay Dirt In Lions Loss

Detroit Lions running back J.D. McKissic led the Lions backfield in Week 9, posting 72 yards on seven touches and scoring a touchdown in the Lions loss. McKissic posted a stunning 8 YPC on the day, but the Lions were focusing more on the passing game in this one, as they have been since Kerryon […]

Demaryius Thomas Targeted Just Three Times

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had two receptions for 19 yards in a loss to the Dolphins Sunday. Thomas had been getting more involved in the offense, but was targeted just three times in this one as the Jets offense struggled all afternoon. Thomas is the clear third option behind Robby Anderson and […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Held Without A Catch

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a quiet day against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. The 25-year-old was targeted twice but failed to haul in any passes as his team's offense struggled as a whole. Valdes-Scantling saw just two targets for the second consecutive game and has been a bust the […]

Jets Defense Struggles Versus Dolphins

The New York Jets Defense was picked apart by Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins in a 26-18 loss in Miami. The Jets picked up four sacks and a safety, thanks to a fumbled snap at the one-yard line, but failed to force a turnover and gave up big plays all day long. To make matters […]

Ronald Jones II Scores In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II rewarded fantasy owners who took the risk of starting him in Week 9, touching the ball 20 times for 82 yards and a touchdown. In a backfield that is usually mired in a strict timeshare, Jones took absolute control, seeing 16 more touches than backfield mate Ronald […]

Davante Adams Targeted 11 Times In Week 9 Loss

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams was targeted 11 times in his Week 9 return to the field. He was able to catch seven of them, but only recorded 41 yards. His longest completion in the game was for nine yards, as he and Rodgers struggled to get going. The offensive line couldn't give […]

Browns Defense Notches Three Sacks in Week 9

The Cleveland Browns Defense turned in a decent effort in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Cleveland managed three sacks and also recovered a fumble in the loss. That being said, they failed to slow a Denver offense quarterbacked by first-time starter Brandon Allen. Cleveland's defense has plenty of talent but […]

Demetrius Harris Catches Three Passes in Week 9

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris caught three of four targets for 25 yards in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Harris continues to be a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option, with the three-catch game setting a season high for the athletic tight end. He could see a larger role in Week 10 […]

Antonio Callaway Catches Four Passes in Week 9

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway caught four of five targets for 56 yards in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. That goes down as the best game of the season for the second-year wideout, who was suspended for the first four weeks. Callaway now has eight catches for 89 yards […]

Jameis Winston Posts Solid Effort In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put up a very solid performance in Week 9, but it was ultimately not enough as the Seahawks prevailed in overtime. The fifth-year signal-caller threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns while fumbling once. He held his own against Russell Wilson in this one, and while this may not […]

Jarvis Landry Finally Finds the End Zone in Week 9

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught six of 13 targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Landry found the end zone for the first time this season on a nine-yard reception from quarterback Baker Mayfield in the fourth quarter. While Landry is not posting […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Goes for 87 Yards in Week 9

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught five of six targets for 87 yards in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Beckham led the team in receiving yardage despite tangling with star cornerback Chris Harris Jr. for much of the afternoon. The Cleveland passing attack remains an issue, with Beckham […]

Jamaal Williams Catches All Six Targets

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams enjoyed a solid day in an otherwise poor showing by his team's offense. Williams had just two carries for 10 yards but caught all six of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. That makes four straight games with a touchdown catch for the 24-year-old. He was […]

Nick Chubb Slowed by Broncos

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was limited to 65 yards on 20 carries in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. He also chipped in four catches for 26 yards in the losing effort. Chubb struggled to find much room to run on an afternoon where the Denver defense did a […]

Baker Mayfield Manages Just One Touchdown in Week 9

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 27 of 42 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. In a sign of the times, that goes into the books as one of his better outings of what has been a disappointing season for the sophomore quarterback. […]

Aaron Jones Stifled In Week 9 Loss

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones was quiet in his team's 26-11 Week 9 loss. Coming off one of his better games of the year, the 24-year-old tallied only eight carries for 30 yards and caught just one of four targets for a loss of a yard. Jones likely would have been more involved […]

Marvin Jones Runs All Over Porous Raiders Secondary

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones rebounded very nicely in Week 9 after a disappointing Week 8 performance. The veteran wide receiver caught 8-of-10 targets for 126 yards and one touchdown on a day where he was seemingly able to do whatever he wanted. Jones will have his weeks where he is the 1B to […]

Kenny Golladay Stays Hot In Week 9 Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay hauled in four of seven targets for 132 yards and one touchdown in the Lions loss to the Raiders in Week 9. Golladay and the Lions passing attack have been red-hot since Kerryon Johnson (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve, and it doesn't look like that will be changing […]

Aaron Rodgers Bamboozled By Chargers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was shut down by the Los Angeles Chargers Defense in a 26-11 Week 9 loss. Rodgers completed just 23 of 35 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. The Packers offensive line didn't give the veteran QB much time to look downfield, as evidenced by his 4.6 yards per […]

Redskins Defense Burned For Three Touchdowns In Loss

The Washington Redskins Defense gave up three touchdowns and a field goal to the Bills on Sunday, and further minimized their Week 9 fantasy value by not forcing any turnovers. The turnover potential in this game lent itself to the idea that the Redskins could've served as a half-decent streaming option, but it was not […]

Harrison Butker is Perfect Against Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had one of his best fantasy performances of the season in Week 9. He connected on all four of his field goal attempts during the 26-23 victory over Minnesota. That included one field goal that was beyond 50 yards, so fantasy owners are thanking Butker on Sunday. He finished […]

Matthew Stafford Throws Three Touchdowns In Lions Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford continued his excellent season on Sunday, passing for 406 yards and three touchdowns in the Lions loss to the Raiders. Stafford has now passed for at least 342 yards and three touchdowns in three consecutive games and looks poised for a career year in his second year under head coach […]

Demarcus Robinson Hauls in One Reception

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has seen his usage heavily decrease with the team getting healthy. Robinson has seen four total targets over the last two games. He caught one of two targets for five yards in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. Robinson and Mecole Hardman split time at […]

Terry McLaurin Held In Check By Bills

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin knew going into a Week 9 matchup with a tough Bills Defense that he had his work cut out for him, an outlook compounded by Dwayne Haskins making his first career start at quarterback. McLaurin caught four passes for 39 yards--an identical stat line to his tough Week 8 […]

Mecole Hardman Isn't Targeted in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman found fantasy value earlier in the season when the team was banged up, but has seemingly lost it all. Hardman has seen his targets decrease each week since Week 6. He wasn't targeted at all during the Week 9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He rushed the ball […]

Paul Richardson Leads Redskins In Receiving Yards On Sunday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson hauled in four catches for 42 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to the Bills. The pedestrian outing marked his highest single-game catch and yardage totals since Week 3, which says a lot about how his season is going from a fantasy perspective. If the slight uptick in […]

Travis Kelce Continues to Be Mr. Reliable

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was expected to lose some fantasy value with Matt Moore at quarterback, but that has not been the case. Kelce has seen 17 targets over the last two games with Moore under helm. He caught seven of nine targets for 62 yards in the victory over the Vikings […]

Sammy Watkins is Targeted 10 Times in Win

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins saw a high volume of usage during the Week 9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Watkins has been a big weapon for the team lately seeing 18 total targets over the last two games. He hauled in seven receptions for 63 yards on Sunday against Minnesota. It wasn't […]
