Allen Robinson Scores Two Touchdowns In Loss

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson caught seven passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears 24-21 loss to the Raiders in Week 5. Once again, Robinson was far and away the Bears most productive offensive player even when the offense struggled in the first half. The veteran receiver displayed some fancy footwork […]

Jaylen Samuels Has Five Touches In Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels took three carries for two yards and caught three passes for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Samuels wasn't very effective in his limited work, but he was the preferred back in passing situations, as James Conner didn't have one target. Still, Samuels is a risky flex […]

Carson Wentz Doesn't Do Much in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz didn't have to do much in Week 5. With the defense absolutely dominating the New York Jets "offense" in this one, Wentz wasn't asked to do a lot. He ended up completing 17 of his 29 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. His score was on an 11-yard pass […]

Colt McCoy Predictably Struggles Against Patriots

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy completed 18 of 27 passes for 119 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to New England. The Redskins are very obviously the worst team in the NFC, and with their season already over at 0-5, there is no justifiable reason for the coaching staff not to roll […]

Chase Daniel's Late Interception Seals Bears Fate

Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel completed 22-of-30 passes for 231 with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bears 24-21 loss to the Raiders in London. The Bears offense was atrocious in the first half as they were held scoreless. Daniel loosened up in the second half but two terrible throws turned into costly mistakes. […]

Daniel Jones Struggles In Loss

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Once affectionately known as "Danny Dimes," the rookie signal-caller was sloppy and scattered on Sunday, completing 21 of 38 passes for 182 yards, one TD and one INT. He also had happy feet in the pocket and missed Sterling Shepard multiple times […]

Ronald Jones II Posts Disappointing Week 5 Performance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was starting to establish himself as the lead back in the Bucs backfield, only to post 35 yards on nine attempts in the Bucs Week 5 loss to the Saints. Jones led the Bucs backfield in touches and targets, but by a very slight margin. He touched […]

James Conner Scores Touchdown On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner gained 55 yards on 14 carries, while scoring his second touchdown of the season in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Conner didn't get one target in the passing game, as Jaylen Samuels was the preferred passing-down back. The gameplan featured Conner running between the tackles almost exclusively. Next week's […]

Deandre Washington Vultures A Touchdown

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington found the end zone for the first time this season in the team's victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Josh Jacobs left the game briefly with a minor injury, but it was enough time for Washington to run for a three-yard TD late in the second quarter. He […]

Kirk Cousins Posts Useful Week 5 Line In Victory

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' performance through Week 4 had many fantasy managers writing him off, but he came through in a pretty big way in Week 5 against the New York Giants. Cousins was 22-of-27 (81%) passing for 306 yards and two touchdowns to Adam Thielen in a resounding 28-10 road win. Cousins took […]

Darren Fells Catches Two Touchdowns

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught two passes for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, with both catches going for touchdowns. Fells now has three touchdown catches this season, but he also has just nine catches, with five of them coming in one game. Outside of that game, Fells has four […]

Jameis Winston Salvages Day With Late Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had fantasy owners excited after two straight monster weeks, but turned in an average performance in the Bucs loss to the Saints Sunday. Winston was unable to get into any kind of groove, completing just 15 passes on 27 attempts for 204 yards and two touchdowns. His fantasy day […]

Josh Jacobs Scores Twice To Lead The Raiders Victory

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs scored two touchdowns against the Bears Sunday, leading his team to a 24-21 victory from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. He found paydirt on a 12-yard TD scamper in the first quarter, and then put his squad ahead with two minutes to go on a two-yard score. Jacobs logged […]

DeAndre Hopkins Solid Against Falcons

While it wasn't the kind of blow-up game that many hoped was coming, Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins still put up solid numbers in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Hopkins caught seven of his eight targets for 88 yards and failed to find the end zone. While that's a little concerning when you […]

Alvin Kamara Serviceable Against Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara totaled 117 yards from scrimmage in his team's 31-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamara has had better games but he did a little bit of everything against a stout Buccaneers run defense. He carried the ball 16 times for 62 yards, a decent showing considering the […]

Mason Rudolph Exits Game After Scary Hit

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph was forced from Sunday's game against the Ravens after taking a scary hit to the head. After getting hit, Rudolph laid motionless on the field before eventually being able to walk off under his own power. Prior to the injury, he was 13 of 20 for 131 yards and a […]

Vikings Defense Dominates Giants In Week 5

The Minnesota Vikings Defense posted a solid overall effort in a 28-10 Week 5 win over the New York Giants. They held the Giants to just 211 total yards (3.4 yards per play), recorded four sacks, and linebacker Anthony Barr notched a safety and an interception in a stellar individual performance. The Vikings remain a […]

Keke Coutee Finally Emerges In Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee hasn't done much this season, but against the Falcons on Sunday the second-year receiver had his best game of 2019. Coutee caught three passes for 72 yards, including a 51-yard reception. It was a solid game for Coutee, but it also requires some context as Houston was without wide […]

Darren Waller Bottled Up Versus Bears

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had his least productive game of the season on Sunday, finishing the afternoon with four catches for 39 yards. With Tyrell Williams inactive, the 26-year-old failed to make an impact against a tough Bears Defense as he's yet to find the end zone through five games this season. The […]

Will Fuller Catches Three Touchdowns

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller's gotten off to a slow start to the season, but he shook that slow start off on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, catching 14 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns. It was a wild, wild game for Fuller, who hadn't had 100 yards or a touchdown yet this […]

Derek Carr Throws For 229 Scoreless Yards

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr led his team to a 24-21 victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday, although his fantasy production left more to be desired. He completed 25 of 32 passes for 229 scoreless yards with no interceptions and one lost fumble. Carr made an errant pitch to Josh Jacobs in the backfield for […]

Duke Johnson Continues To Play Secondary Role

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson continues to be misused by the Texans. On Sunday against the Falcons, Johnson had nine carries for 59 yards and caught his only target, an eight-yard catch. Johnson's 6.6 yards per carry were far more than Carlos Hyde's 2.9, but Hyde had 21 carries to Johnson's nine. The Texans […]

Teddy Bridgewater Lights Up the Scoreboard in Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater did his best Drew Brees impersonation in Week 5, throwing for 314 yards and four touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though he did throw an interception, Bridgewater averaged an excellent 9.2 yards per attempt on 34 throws. He abandoned the check-downs and short passes for intermediate and deep […]

Carlos Hyde Finds End Zone

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde had 60 rushing yards on 21 carries in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. He ran for a touchdown and also failed to bring in his only target. It was another inefficient game for Hyde, but he continues to be the main guy in this Texans backfield, with Duke […]

Deshaun Watson Has Monster Game Against Falcons

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was on fire against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, throwing for 426 yards and five touchdowns while going 28-for-33. Watson also added 47 rushing yards on four carries. After a season that's seen Watson be pretty inconsistent, Sunday's game might have been a turning point for this Texans offense. Watson […]

Wayne Gallman Won't Return After Concussion

Starting again in place of an injured Saquon Barkley, New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman won't return to Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Vikings after sustaining a concussion in the first half. Gallman had just 14 yards on two rushes before departing and will be replaced by rookie Jon Hilliman and fullback Eli Penny […]

Drew Brees Tweets Video of Himself Throwing Footballs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees posted a video of himself tossing a football on Saturday evening. Brees remains inactive for the Saints Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It should also be noted that the ball Brees was throwing in the video seemed to be of the Nerf variety, so he still […]

Josh Allen is Active Sunday

Josh Allen will give it a full-go after clearing the concussion protocol on Saturday. It won't be easy sledding in Tennessee, but we know Josh Allen isn't one that needs things easy. The Titans are average against the pass and Allen is a middling fantasy starter this week.

Vance McDonald Active For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) will be active for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. McDonald missed Week 4's win over the Bengals after suffering the injury in the previous week. The team went out and acquired Nick Vannett from the Seahawks to strengthen their depth at the position, but getting McDonald back […]

Terry McLaurin Active For Redskins

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin is active today after missing last week with a hamstring injury. His reward is a showdown with Stephon Gilmore, one of the league's best corners. Oh, and his quarterback for today is Colt McCoy, who is making his first start this season. McLaurin will be a low-end WR3 […]
