Sammy Watkins Returns With a Spark

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had been sidelined the past three weeks, but came back with some fire in Week 8. Watkins caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in the loss to Green Bay. It wasn't a great game for Watkins' fantasy owners, but a positive performance nonetheless. He's not […]

Travis Kelce Scores TD Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continued to have reliable fantasy value despite not having quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) under center. Kelce caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. This was the first time that Kelce has scored a touchdown […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Six Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was expected to lose some fantasy value without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) active in Week 8. However, Hill caught six of his nine targets for 76 yards in Sunday's loss to the Packers. Hill has 70 or more yards in each game since returning in Week 6. It's […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Loss to Packers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams hasn't been reliable for fantasy owners all season, but at least he was able to find the end zone in Week 8. Williams rushed seven times for 30 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Packers on Sunday. That was the first time all season […]

LeSean McCoy Leads Team in Carries in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was able to sustain decent fantasy value versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. McCoy rushed a team leading nine times for 40 yards and caught four passes for 23 yards through the air. It appears that McCoy has a reliable role in the offense, so fantasy […]

Saints Defense Quiet In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints Defense was excellent, just not for fantasy purposes. The team allowed nine points to the Arizona Cardinals and stalled most of their offensive drives. Unfortunately, they only posted three sacks and weren't able to generate any turnovers. New Orleans has playmakers on the defensive side of the ball and still should […]

Matt Moore Throws Two Touchdowns in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore was not expected to play as well as he did during the Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Moore drew the start at quarterback due to starter Patrick Mahomes (knee) sitting out. He completed 24 of 36 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns without an interception […]

Giants Defense Serviceable Against The Lions

The New York Giants Defense continued to get pressure on the quarterback, sacking Matt Stafford four times on Sunday. They were also able to intercept him once and cause a fumble, but that’s where the good news ends. Stafford picked apart the Giants through the air as Detroit gained 375 yards of total offense. They’re […]

Wil Lutz Makes A Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Win

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made a field goal from 26 yards out, missed one from 47 yards and made four extra points in the Saints' Week 8 win. That makes four total misses on the year for Lutz, who only missed two kicks all of last year. Lutz has had a couple of […]

Aldrick Rosas Misses Extra Point on Sunday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas had another uneventful day on Sunday. He missed his first extra point of the season, hitting two of three, and didn’t attempt a field goal all game. He’s not on the fantasy radar.

Daniel Jones Lights Up Lions

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones took advantage of a depleted Lions secondary on Sunday, throwing for 322 yards and four touchdowns on 68% completions. The rookie desperately needed a good game after four questionable starts in a row. Jones has a long leash and will be getting one more option back next week when […]

Darius Slayton Emerging As Deep Threat

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has become the ultimate big-play option with Daniel Jones under center after the rookie wide receiver caught two passes for 50 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the Lions. However, being a deep-play threat on the Giants hasn't led to consistent success, and Sterling Shepard (concussion) is […]

Evan Engram Saves Day With Touchdown

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had another down game on Sunday, catching four passes for 40 yards. He did find his way into the end zone, making his game palatable for fantasy owners; however, it’s possible that Engram returned too soon for his MCL injury. He doesn’t look as explosive as he did […]

Golden Tate Leads Giants In Receiving In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught eight passes for 85 yards in his revenge game against the Lions on Sunday. It was a solid game in PPR formats, but not the blow-up game many people were hoping for against a depleted Lions secondary. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) likely to return next week, Golden […]

Saquon Barkley Salvages Day Through The Air

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley had an underwhelming but productive day for the Giants on Sunday versus the Lions. The franchise star was contained on the ground, totaling 64 yards and 19 carries, but he finally got involved in the passing game, catching eight passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. Although the […]

Josh Hill Quiet Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill didn't do much for fantasy purposes in Week 8. He caught three of a season-high five targets for 39 yards from returning starter Drew Brees. Hill caught a touchdown last week filling in for Jared Cook (ankle) though he couldn't duplicate the feat this week. The Saints head […]

Ted Ginn A Bust In Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn was quiet in his team's 31-9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The 34-year-old wideout caught both of his targets for 42 yards. It was nice to see Ginn targeted downfield though he was a bit of a bust in this one. Fortunately for him, starter Drew Brees is […]

D.J. Moore Hauls In Five Catches In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in a team-high five catches in the team's blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers this afternoon. Moore hauled in five catches on nine targets for a total of 38 yards for a disappointing performance compared to Moore's standards. The Maryland product has had a strong 2019 campaign […]

Curtis Samuel Tallies 46 Yards Against 49ers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel tallied 46 yards during a disappointing Week 8 performance for the young pass catcher. The former Ohio State Buckeye had a team-high 11 targets on the afternoon, but struggling quarterback Kyle Allen only managed to hit Samuel on four of those tosses for 46 yards. The third-year receiver has […]

Greg Olsen Struggles In Loss To 49ers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen struggled in the Panthers loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon. The veteran tight end has been shaky on a week-to-week basis this season, and Week 8 was a down week for Olsen owners. The long-time Panther only hauled in two catches for 13 yards, providing minimal […]

Taysom Hill Catches Touchdown Against Arizona

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill showed off his versatility against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. Hill didn't drop back to pass in the game but caught all three of his targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. The 29-year-old ran a beautiful wheel route down the sideline and caught a 36-yard pass from […]

Denver Broncos Defense Posts Solid Performance Against Colts

The Denver Broncos Defense posted a solid outing against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon despite losing on a last-second field goal. The Broncos forced two fumbles, recovering one of them, and also tallied four sacks as they held the Colts to 15 points. The Broncos defense has shown that they can put up fantasy […]

Demetrius Harris Finds End Zone in Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris caught 2-of-3 targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Harris was the recipient of Baker Mayfield's lone touchdown pass, a 21-yard dime in the second quarter. Harris caught the ball just shy of the end zone and […]

Darren Fells Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught all six of his targets in Sunday's win over the Oakland Raiders, finishing with 58 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Fells now has five touchdown receptions this season, making this the most productive season of his career from a scoring perspective. If you need a tight end […]

Brandon McManus Connects On Two Chip Shots

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus connected on two chip shot field goals in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. McManus hit from 21 and 29 yards out in the second quarter while also connecting on his only extra-point attempt of the day. The 6th-year kicker is continuing to have a strong 2019 season for the […]

Antonio Callaway Goes for 11 Yards in Loss

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway caught 2-of-3 targets for 11 yards in a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. It was a slow afternoon for the second-year receiver, who had a long gain of just eight yards. Callaway continues to operate as the team's No. 3 receiver but the Cleveland […]

DeAndre Hopkins Quietly Has Strong Day

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins put up fantasy points steadily in Sunday's win over the Raiders. Hopkins didn't find the end zone, but he caught 11 passes for 109 yards. With Will Fuller out, Hopkins had double the targets of anyone else on the Texans team. After a slow start to the year, Hopkins […]

Phillip Lindsay Catches Five Passes Out Of The Backfield

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay made his living this week from snagging catches out of the backfield, something that he has not done much of this season. Lindsay has been the feature back running the ball this year for the Broncos with teammate Royce Freeman handling most of the pass-catching duties. However, Lindsay snuck […]

Jarvis Landry Leads Browns With 65 Yards

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught 5-of-10 targets for 65 yards in a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Landry wound up leading the Browns in targets, catches, and receiving yards in the losing effort. The veteran slot receiver doesn't draw the headlines that teammate Odell Beckham Jr. does but […]

Duke Johnson Has Touchdown Reception

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson had just three carries for one yard in Sunday's win over the Oakland Raiders, but he made an impact in the passing game, catching four passes for 33 yards and a touchdown. Johnson's lack of rushing usage is concerning, and while he's got value in PPR leagues due to […]
