Ryan Izzo Catches Touchdown Against Redskins

New England Patriots tight end Ryan Izzo caught two passes for 39 yards in the Patriots 33-7 bludgeoning of the Redskins in Week 5. It's minor, but Izzo's value is slowly on the rise after catching a 29-yard pass and then springing wide open for an easy touchdown catch. Izzo also notched a 41-yard catch […]

Mark Andrews Banged Up

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had five receptions for 45 yards in Sunday's Week 5 overtime win against the Steelers. Andrews left the game in the middle of the fourth quarter after getting hit trying to make a catch, but returned to the field in overtime. Andrews has been disappointing for fantasy owners in […]

Greg Olsen Targeted Twice On Sunday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen came away empty-handed against the Jaguars on Sunday. After racking up 185 yards and two touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, the veteran has been quiet over the last two games, accumulating just two receptions (six targets) for a miserable five yards. He will look to get it together […]

Benjamin Watson Does Not Play Against Redskins

New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson did not play against the Redskins in Week 5. Watson was eligible to play after serving a four-game suspension to begin the season but didn't even travel with the team. Watson is a veteran presence that brings speed to the tight end position. But his status in the […]

Olabisi Johnson Hauls In Four Catches Against Giants

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Olabisi Johnson had his first impactful game as a pro, snagging all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's Week 5 win. Johnson worked in as the third receiver and certainly made the most of his increased opportunity against the lousy Giants secondary. Though Johnson tied Stefon Diggs […]

Phillip Dorsett Injures Hamstring Against Washington

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett left the teams 33-7 win over the Redskins with a hamstring injury. Dorsett came up limp in the first half and did not return. Dorsett leads the team with three receiving touchdowns but his status has to be in question with the Patriots playing the Giants this coming […]

Chris Boswell Nails Three Field Goals

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made three field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Ravens. It's clear he's put 2018 behind him as Sunday marked the first game that the 28-year-old made three or more field goals in a game since 2017. However, the Steelers offense took a big […]

Curtis Samuel Does Very Little Against Jags

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel had just three receptions for 19 yards in the win over Jacksonville on Sunday. While the Jaguars Defense has to contend with Christian McCaffrey, who had three touchdowns on the day, Samuel wasn't as involved as he has been in previous weeks. With only one score to his credit […]

Rex Burkhead Inactive Against Redskins

New England Patriots Rex Burkhead (foot) did not play in the teams 33-7 win over the Redskins in Week 5. Burkhead was trending in the right direction by returning to practice on a limited basis this week but the team obviously does not believe he is ready. Burkhead has been a solid contributor this season […]

Marquise Brown Scores In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown exited the game with an apparent lower leg injury after scoring a touchdown in the second quarter, but returned late in the fourth. Brown caught three passes for 22 yards and a touchdown in Week 5's overtime win against the Steelers. Brown hadn't gotten in the end zone again […]

Adam Thielen Explodes For 130 Yards and Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught 7-of-8 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 5 win over the New York Giants. Thielen was making plays all over the place against the weak Giants secondary and made it look easy on his scores in the first and third quarters. Thielen was critical […]

James White Catches Six Passes Against Redskins

New England Patriots running back James White caught six passes for 46 yards and added 26 rushing yards in the teams 33-7 win over the Redskins.

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense Has Three Interceptions

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense surrendered 26 points to the Ravens on Sunday, while holding them to just 277 yards and recording three interceptions and five sacks. It marks the fourth straight game that the Steelers have multiple takeaways. Mike Hilton, Kam Kelly, and Devin Bush all pulled in the interceptions, while Stephon Tuitt led the […]

D.J. Moore Gets Back On Track

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore caught six receptions (eight targets) for 91 yards against the Jaguars on Sunday. While the Panthers did most of the damage on the ground, Moore was still productive after accruing just four receptions over the last two games. He will look to repeat his Week 2 performance against the […]

Peyton Barber Scores In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber didn't necessarily disappoint fantasy owners Sunday, however, that may be due to the fact that expectations were low for the Bucs running back. Barber touched the ball eight times for 32 yards and a touchdown Sunday, adding two catches and 21 yards through the air. He put up […]

Josh Gordon Posts 59 Yards In Week 5 Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught five passes for 59 yards in the Patriots 33-7 romp over the Redskins. Gordon is still looking for his first breakout performance but continues to post modest numbers in the mean time. The talented receiver has only 19 receptions on the season through the first five games […]

Julian Edelman Racks Up 110 Yards In Blowout Win

New England Patriots wide receiver caught eight passes for 110 yards with one touchdown in the teams 33-7 blowout win over the Redskins. Edelman dominated from the slot position, punctuated by catching a 6-yard pass from Tom Brady for the Patriots first touchdown of the game. The Patriots will face the Giants this coming Thursday […]

Redskins Defense Picked Apart By Patriots In Second Half

The Washington Redskins Defense began Sunday's loss looking like they might pull off the impossible and keep a game against the heavily favored Patriots close. They picked off Tom Brady in the red zone late in the second quarter, and surprisingly trailed by a score of just 12-7 at halftime. But the Patriots are a […]

Eagles Defense Dominates in Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense was absolutely dominant in Week 5, embarrassing the New York Jets on the way to a 31-6 victory. The Eagle defense allowed just one touchdown (which was followed up by a failed two-point attempt). They made two interceptions, forced two fumbles, and recorded an astonishing 10 sacks. This could end up […]

Mark Ingram Scores Once In Win

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed for 44 yards on 19 attempts and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 5 overtime win against Pittsburgh. Quarterback Lamar Jackson led the Raven's in rushing with 70 yards. Ingram would have had an underwhelming performance without getting in the end zone, but was able to put the first […]

Kyle Allen Leads Team To Another Win

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen went 17-for-30 for 181 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars on Sunday. With the Panthers doing most of the work on the ground, Allen threw his lone score late in the first quarter off of an 18-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey. While the 23-year-old didn't do a lot […]

James O'Shaughnessy Continues To See Expanded Role

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy caught three passes for 57 yards in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was targeted four times and has now seen four or more targets in four of Jacksonville's five games. O'Shaughnessy isn't quite to the level where he should be started in fantasy leagues, but he may […]

Sony Michel Delivers His Best Game Of The Season

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 16 times for 91 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 33-7 throttling of the Redskins in Week 5. Michel also added three catches for 32 yards in his best offensive game of the season. The second-year running back's season has been a bit of […]

Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made every kick asked of him in Week 5. He connected on all four of his extra point attempts and also knocked a 28-yard field goal through the uprights. Elliott has been very consistent this season, but the Eagles just haven't had a ton of field goal tries so far. […]

Tom Brady Tosses Three Touchdowns In Easy Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 28-of-42 passes for 348 yards, three touchdowns and one interception as the Patriots cruised to a 33-7 win over the Redskins. The Patriots found themselves early in a strange spot; trailing in a game. But the Patriots offense quickly corrected that en route to rattling off 33 unanswered […]

Vance McDonald Catches All Three Targets

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald had three receptions for 34 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. After missing Week 4's game with a shoulder injury, McDonald was able to have a decent game Sunday. He was targeted just once by third-string quarterback Devlin Hodges, but if the rookie signal caller is forced to […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not Targeted in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was not targeted in an Eagles Week 5 win. Even with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) out, Arcega-Whiteside did not factor into the game whatsoever. Even Mack Hollins, who played ahead of Arcega-Whiteside, only saw one target. Arcega-Whiteside has good upside, but he's not close to being a starting option […]

Dede Westbrook Brings In Seven Catches

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught seven passes for 82 yards in Jacksonville's Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He tied for the team lead with 11 targets. Westbrook's lost his grip on Jacksonville's top receiver role with the emergence of D.J. Chark, which has limited his production this season. He's still a […]

Chris Thompson Sees Seven Targets In Loss

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was tied with Terry McLaurin for the team lead in targets at seven each in Sunday's defeat. While Thompson only turned the volume into five catches for 17 yards, the silver lining here is that it doesn't appear to matter much who the Redskins play at quarterback. Thompson is […]

Chris Godwin Has Huge Performance In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin rewarded fantasy owners in a big way Sunday, catching 7-of-9 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs loss to the Saints. Godwin has now firmly established himself as a high-end WR2 even with an inconsistent Jameis Winston throwing him the ball. He now has touchdowns […]
