Lamar Jackson Throws Three Interceptions

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 161 yards with a touchdown and three picks in Week 5's overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson also added a game-high 70 yards on the ground on 14 attempts. His only touchdown came early in the second quarter to receiver Marquise Brown for 11 yards. The Ravens […]

Bears Defense Crumbles In London

The Chicago Bears Defense recorded zero sacks and only quarterback hit as the Bears lost to the Raiders 24-21 in London. Right from the start, the Raiders offensive line man-handled a Bears defense that lost defensive tackle Akiem Hicks early to injury. The unit was able to recover two fumbles but gave up the game-winning […]

Nelson Agholor Catches a Pass and Fumbles in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining 20 yards then fumbling the ball. Agholor was coming off a zero-catch game in Week 4 and didn't really do any better in Week 5. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) expected back soon, Agholor could be sliding completely off the fantasy radar. […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores Three Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey had his best game of the season on Sunday, finishing with three touchdowns against Jacksonville. McCaffrey found the end zone twice in the first quarter before breaking away for his final score of the day off of an 84-yard run early in the second half. The Jaguars Defense had […]

D.J. Chark Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark opened the year with a touchdown in each of the first three games, but failed to find the end zone in Week 4. He got things back on track in Week 5, though, catching eight passes for 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns while being targeted 11 times. […]

Diontae Johnson Catches Five Passes Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in five of his eight targets for just 27 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens. Johnson also fumbled in the third quarter but he was bailed out when the ball rolled out of bounds. The rookie is definitely getting his fair share of targets after scoring […]

Mike Davis Has Zero Carries Against Oakland

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis failed to register a carry in the Bears loss to the Raiders 24-21 in Week 5. The Bears will head into their bye week looking for answers to their sub-par running game and Davis has been a non-factor thus far. It certainly is disappointing after the Bears paid millions […]

Adrian Peterson Unproductive Yet Again

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed seven times for 18 yards against the Patriots on Sunday. Peterson has yet to total more than 37 rushing yards in any game this season, and has scored just one touchdown. He may have begun the season as a volume-dependent flex option, but his total lack of production […]

Aldrick Rosas Has One Field Goal Again

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal attempt in Sunday's loss. The Pro Bowler now has exactly one field goal in four of the Giants' five games this season. With the team not mounting a consistent offense capable of getting into field goal position often, Rosas remains off the streaming radar […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Six Passes in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery led the Eagles with six catches in Week 5, gaining 52 yards. The Eagles didn't need to throw much, with quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. Jeffery did well with the balls thrown to him, and he should have bigger games when the Eagles actually need to make […]

Mike Evans Doesn't Record A Catch In Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans heavily disappointed fantasy owners in Week 5, catching zero balls on just three targets. It was more of the same for Evans, who has been a boom or bust option so far this season. Evans has the ability to absolutely dominate but has only showcased those abilities twice […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Not A Factor Against Raiders

Chicago Bears wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson carried the ball only once for five yards in the Bears 24-21 loss to the Raiders in Week 5. Patterson had been getting some nice run as a change-of-pace bulldozer in the backfield but was barely featured in this contest against his former team. Patterson is no more than […]

Giants Defense Bends But Doesn't Break Often

The New York Giants Defense had its moments on Sunday in a 28-10 loss to the Vikings. With the team's offense not moving the ball at all, the defense was asked to stop the Vikings on a lot of short field drives, so the score could have been a lot worse had they not held […]

Leonard Fournette Has Another Strong Outing

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had 23 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He also caught four passes for 29 yards. It wasn't a 200-yard game like he had in Week 4, but it was another solid performance for the team's bell cow back. It's also […]

Dalvin Cook Cruises To Giant Week 5 Total

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had another monster performance in Week 5's road win over the New York Giants. He rushed 21 times for 132 yards (6.3 yards per carry) and caught all six of his targets for 86 yards in the victory. Cook again looked extremely explosive while displaying great vision all game […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Falls Flat In Starting Role

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's loss. Like a handful of his teammates, his futility in Week 5 can't be entirely attributed to anything he did wrong. The Redskins are just a poor offensive team, and Colt McCoy was never going to give them a […]

Trey Burton's Stock Continues To Plummet

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton caught only three passes for 16 yards in the Bears Week 5 loss to the Raiders in London. Even if backup quarterback Chase Daniel was not under center, Burton simply looks lost in the shuffle on offense. The scheme no longer has Burton as a focal point and the […]

James Washington Leaves Game With Shoulder Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught three of his six targets for 52 yards before leaving Sunday's game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. Washington was pretty effective early, but if the injury causes him to miss time, expect rookie Diontae Johnson to get increased opportunities. Nonetheless, this is a banged up Steelers […]

Dallas Goedert Catches Just One Pass in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining 11 yards. Goedert played way behind starter Zach Ertz, and while he has the talent to be a solid tight end in fantasy, he won't see nearly enough targets unless Ertz misses time. Goedert is a wait-and-see fantasy asset, but not […]

Darius Slayton Leads Giants In Receiving

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton led the team in receiving with 62 yards and one TD on four catches. He made a nice catch on a deep pass from Daniel Jones to haul in the touchdown and showed solid hands on another sideline grab. Slayton clearly has talent and can be added to […]

Anthony Miller Emerges With 52 Receiving Yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller caught four passes for 52 yards in the Bears 24-21 loss to the Raiders in London. Miller shook off an early drop to have his most active game of the season. The frustration certainly seems to be mounting, however, as the second-year receiver continues to commit undisciplined penalties. Miller […]

Gardner Minshew Has First 300 Yard Game

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew was 26-for-44 for 374 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. It was Minshew's first game with 300 or more passing yards. Carolina wasn't a great matchup for the Jaguars, but Minshew was able to find his receivers and make plays. This might not be a […]

Paul Richardson Catches Two Passes In Loss

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson caught both of his targets for 14 total yards on Sunday. To say that Richardson was a non-factor in the loss is an understatement, but one that must be applied to all of his teammates as well. He has yet to produce any truly fantasy-friendly stat lines through five […]

Jon Hilliman Does Nothing With Opportunity

New York Giants running back Jon Hilliman was thrust into the spotlight after Wayne Gallman left with a concussion. He predictably flopped, finishing with 20 yards on nine carries and four yards on one catch. With Barkley trying to return on Thursday, Hilliman should be left on waivers in all leagues. Even if Barkley misses […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Fumbles Away Solid Day

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in seven passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The USC product had a big 35-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but was relatively quiet after that. Then disaster struck in overtime when Smith-Schuster pulled in his final reception, then had […]

Tarik Cohen Makes An Impact In Week 5 Loss

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen had his most active game of the game, catching six passes for 39 yards and coming up with huge punt return to set up a score in Week 5. The Bears got down 17-0 entering the second half but Cohen was right in the middle of 21 unanswered points […]

Zach Ertz Catches a Touchdown in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught the only offensive touchdown for the Eagles in Week 5. He ended up with five catches for 57 yards on the day. His touchdown was an 11-yard strike from Carson Wentz in the second quarter. Ertz was solid in this one, but he hasn't seen the monster-share of […]

Golden Tate Quiet In First Game Back

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate was quiet in his first week back from suspension. He secured three catches for 13 yards on six targets and seemed to be a secondary option in the Giants offense. He was, however, operating as the team's primary slot wide receiver, which gives him value going forward. If […]

Terry McLaurin Held In Check By Patriots

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in three of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's lopsided defeat at the hands of New England. It was his first game back from an injury that kept him out in Week 4, and also his first game without a touchdown. Such was to be expected with […]

Darren Sproles Still Not a Factor in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles still didn't have a role on offense in Week 5. He got three carries, gaining just four yards total. He did not make a catch in the passing game. Sproles hasn't done anything of note on offense since Week 1, and can be dropped in most formats at this […]
