Eagles Defense Plays Well in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles allowed just 13 points, and while they did not record an interception, they did get four sacks on quarterback Josh Allen. The Eagles defense has shown some glimpses of being a solid unit, but they remain a risky […]

Jack Doyle Shows Some Life In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle has largely been an afterthought through the first half of this season. In Week 8, though, he showed some life as he caught four of his five targets for 61 yards. Doyle used a 19-yard catch for about one-third of his yards. For much of his career, Doyle has […]

Ryan Griffin Grabs Two Touchdowns Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin caught all four of his targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Griffin also caught a two-point conversion to add to his already impressive day. It was a career day for the veteran tight end who had only one touchdown coming […]

Mack Hollins Not Even Targeted in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was not even targeted in Week 8's 31-13 win over the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Carson Wentz completed just 17 passes total, but Hollins was not at all involved. He's been invisible in the Eagles offense despite the absence of DeSean Jackson (abdomen). Hollins isn't worth owning in fantasy outside […]

Giovani Bernard Rushes For 31 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard ran for a season-high 31 yards during the loss to the Rams on Sunday. Though the 27-year-old had just three rushing attempts, he was able to salvage what would have been a dismal performance by breaking out a 25-yard gain midway through the second quarter in addition to bringing […]

Jake Elliott Kicks a Field Goal and Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott kicked a 37-yard field goal and two of his three extra points in Week 8. Elliott was perfect in Weeks 1 through 7, but he missed an extra point in Sunday's 31-13 win. Elliott remains a solid kicking option in all formats, although his overall upside is somewhat limited by […]

Keelan Cole Catches Touchdown In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the New York Jets. It was the second week in a row that Cole has scored, but his role has been so small this year that even touchdowns in consecutive weeks don't make him a fantasy […]

Zach Pascal Is Erased In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal had been trending upwards the last few weeks, but that arrow stagnated in Week 8. He caught one of his two targets for just six yards. The crazy part is that he was still basically the second overall receiver on the day. Behind wideout T.Y. Hilton, he and wide […]

Zach Ertz Catches Only Two Passes in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz only caught two passes in Week 8, gaining 20 yards. Ertz was only targeted four times, falling one behind his "backup" Dallas Goedert. It's been a very disappointing season for Ertz so far, as he's now made just eight catches in his past three games combined. He still has […]

Sam Darnold Throws Three More Interceptions

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 21 of 30 passes for 218 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Darnold certainly looked better than he did in last week's four-interception debacle, but continues to make poor decisions with the football when under pressure. He actually started the […]

Austin Hooper Stays Hot With 65 Yards And A Score

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper didn't need the help of starting quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) to keep his breakout season going. With Ryan out in Week 8 and Matt Schaub getting the start, Hooper caught six of his seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. He scored the only passing touchdown of the […]

Nelson Agholor Doesn't Do a Lot in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was nearly useless in Week 8, catching four passes and somehow gaining only seven yards. He added two carries for seven more yards. Agholor was third on the team in targets but couldn't do anything with the ball in his hands, although him catching all of his targets was […]

Joe Mixon Scores Again In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon rushed for 66 yards on 17 attempts to go along with four catches for 11 yards and a score during the loss to the Rams in London. While he is still without a rushing touchdown on the year, the 23-year-old was able to find the end zone through the […]

D.J. Chark Finds End Zone In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark led the Jaguars in targets and receptions in Sunday's win over the New York Jets, catching six of his 12 targets for 79 yards and a score. It was Chark's first touchdown since Week 5 and his second double-digit target game of the year. If Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is […]

Dallas Goedert Scores in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored a touchdown in Week 8. He ended up with three catches on five targets, gaining 22 yards. His touchdown came in the second quarter on a five-yard strike from Carson Wentz. It was his only passing touchdown of the game. Goedert saw more targets and gained more yards […]

Calvin Ridley Goes For 70 Yards In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a solid outing against the Seahawks in Week 8, catching four of his seven targets for 70 yards. It was his third-highest yardage output on the season. The Falcons were led by backup quarterback Matt Schaub in the game as Matt Ryan (ankle) was out. Schaub still managed […]

T.Y. Hilton Has A Quiet Week 8

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has been one of the most consistent players in fantasy this season. In Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, however, his consistency was shaken. He was shadowed by cornerback Chris Harris Jr. all afternoon, and he caught two of his six targets for 54 yards. He just wasn't able […]

Chris Conley Has Big Day Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley caught four passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the New York Jets, taking advantage of Dede Westbrook (shoulder) leaving the game early. Conley as Jacksonville's number-two receiver is an intriguing fantasy option in Week 9 against the Texans, though if Westbrook returns, Conley will […]

Julio Jones Has 10 Catches For 152 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a season-high 152 receiving yards in Week 8, despite the team being without starting quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle). Jones received 12 targets from backup quarterback Matt Schaub in the game and caught all but two of them. Unfortunately, Jones's touchdown drought continues as he's now gone five straight […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Four Passes in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught four passes in Week 8, gaining 64 yards. Jeffery was targeted six times in a game where the Eagles kept the ball on the ground most of the time. Quarterback Carson Wentz only completed 17 passes in the 31-13 victory. Jeffery was faded on most rankings this week […]

Andy Dalton Throws for 329 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton went 32-for-51 for 329 yards and a touchdown during the loss to the Rams in London. With Cincy's weak offensive line, Los Angeles' defensive line alone was able to pressure Dalton most of the game, allowing linebackers to drop back into coverage and holding the veteran to short passes throughout […]

Chandler Jones Held In Check

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones was held to one solo tackle in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. It was a bad matchup, but Jones was the second-highest scoring linebacker over the last five weeks entering the game. His fortunes in Week 9 are even worse as the San Francisco 49ers have allowed eight […]

Charles Clay Surfaces

Arizona Cardinals tight end Charles Clay had his best showing of the season with three grabs for 88 yards in Week 8. One of the catches went for 47 yards in the only big play for the offense. Clay has done very little this season, but this could be a game to build on. The […]

Christian Kirk A Bright Spot

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk caught eight passes for 79 yards in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He also had a 19-yard rush. It was Kirk's first game back in almost a month, and he returned to the WR3 conversation in point-per-reception leagues. Kirk will have a tough matchup against […]

Marlon Mack Gets Into The End Zone In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack bounced back in Week 8 for a solid day. He had 19 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown. He also caught his lone target for 14 yards. Mack had volume, which is usually what he needs to give himself a solid fantasy day. The Colts prefer to grind […]

Leonard Fournette Quiet Aside From 66-Yard Carry

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had a 66-yard run in the first quarter of Jacksonville's Week 8 win over the New York Jets, but Fournette ended up finishing with just 76 rushing yards on 19 carries, which means his other 18 carries went for a total of just 10 yards. Fournette did add seven […]

Brian Hill Scores His First Touchdown Of The Season

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill filled in as the team's No. 2 back behind Devonta Freeman in Week 8 as Ito Smith (concussion) was sidelined due to remaining in concussion protocol. Hill only saw three carries in the game, but made the most of them, gaining 29 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown run, his […]

Larry Fitzgerald Does Nothing

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught just two passes for eight yards in the Week 8 blowout to the New Orleans Saints. Fitz has been super quiet the last few weeks, but wide receiver Christian Kirk proved his health with a decent game. That could open things up for Fitz on the other side. […]

Boston Scott Scores a Touchdown in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. Scott ran the ball five times, gaining just six yards but running in a four yard score in the third quarter. Scott didn't do much with his other carries, but he looked […]

Gardner Minshew Throws For Three Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew didn't have a great matchup against the Jets in Week 8, but the rookie shook off his recent struggles in Jacksonville's 29-15 win. Minshew was 22-for-34 passing the ball, finishing with 279 yards and three touchdowns. He also added 28 rushing yards on eight carries. Minshew had gone two games […]
