Diontae Johnson Scores First Career Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught three of six targets for 52 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. It was the rookie's first career start and he made good on a nice connection from Mason Rudolph. However, Rudolph passed for just 174 yards so it's hard to predict how […]

LeSean McCoy Scores TD in Victory

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) was questionable heading into game-time, but still managed to play well in the Week 3 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. He rushed eight times for 54 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown. McCoy hurt his ankle in the fourth […]

Darrel Williams Plays Well in Surprise Start

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams wasn't announced as the starting running back until basically game-time on Sunday. He played well in the 33-28 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. He rushed nine times for 62 yards and caught five passes for 47 yards, but didn't find the end zone. LeSean McCoy […]

Darren Fells Catches Touchdown

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught five passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Quarterback Deshaun Watson got his tight ends involved more than usual, but with Fells main role in Houston being his pass blocking, we shouldn't expect repeats of Sunday's performance to be a […]

Jaylen Samuels Receives No Touches In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels was a ghost in the team's 24-20 loss to San Francisco on Sunday. The 23-year-old was expected to take on a bigger role with James Conner suffering from a minor knee injury in last week's game against the Seahawks. However, it was the total opposite as he received just […]

Will Fuller Brings In Five Catches

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller caught five passes for 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. A big deep threat for quarterback Deshaun Watson, the Chargers did a good job keeping him from making an impact down the field in Week 3 and holding him in check, but he still managed […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Scores 76-Yard Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught three passes on seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. Smith-Schuster scored on a 76-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter, but outside of that it was a very quiet day for the 22-year-old. With Mason Rudolph taking the reins of […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has Disappointing Day

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins didn't live up to his usual standards in Sunday's win over the Chargers, catching six passes for 67 yards and failing to find the end zone. It wasn't a bad outing, but it wasn't the WR1 game that many expect to see from Hopkins on a weekly basis. Don't […]

Jameis Winston Solid In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put his team in position to win with a strong outing Sunday, but it was ultimately not enough as kicker Matt Gay missed a 34-yard field goal at the end of the game to hand the Giants the win. Winston had very little problem moving the ball against the […]

Jordan Akins Finds End Zone Twice

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins had three catches for 73 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was targeted five times. One of Akins' scores came on a long play after things had broken down offensively for Houston, so we don't want to read too much […]

Benny Snell Jr. Gets Three Carries Against San Francisco

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. took three carries for six yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The rookie received minimal work but still got more work than Jaylen Samuels. He's not worthy of any consideration right now but if he continues to be the backup to James Conner, he may have some […]

Patrick Mahomes Continues Hot Streak

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes steps up to the plate and delivers once again in the 33-28 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Mahomes completed 27-of-37 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns without an interception in the win. Mahomes becomes the third quarterback in history to begin the season with three […]

Kenny Stills Leads Texans In Receiving Yards

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught four passes for a team-high 89 yards in Sunday's victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. When Stills was acquired, there were questions about how things would shake out in the third receiver battle between him and Keke Coutee, but Coutee wasn't targeted on Sunday and it's clear the […]

Adam Vinatieri Got Back To Normal In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri had been arguably the worst kicker in the NFL through two weeks. Between field goals and extra points, he had missed five of his attempts. In Week 3, he got back to the best kicker in NFL history that he has been for his entire career. He went 2-for-2 on […]

Mark Ingram II Has A Day Despite Loss

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II rushed for 103 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries in the loss to the Chiefs on the road. After some mediocre years in New Orleans, Ingram has emerged as a go-to fantasy option in 2019, rushing for 257 yards and five touchdowns throughout the first three weeks […]

Duke Johnson Has Rough Week 3

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson had just four touches in Houston's Week 3 win over the Chargers. Johnson's two carries went for just two yards and he added 22 receiving yards on two catches. Johnson's not having the 2019 season that fantasy owners expected when they drafted Johnson with a mid-round pick, and it's […]

Kenny Golladay Quiet In Lions Win

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay did not live up to expectations in Week 3, catching only two balls for 17 yards in the Lions win. Fantasy owners were expecting a big day from Golladay, but he was never able to get it going against an unimposing Eagles secondary. The good news for Golladay is […]

Parris Campbell Held In Check In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell is likely the team's second wide receiver, but he hasn't gotten a firm hold on the role. In Week 3, he caught all three of his targets for 24 yards. Campbell has big-play ability, but he has to be given more opportunities to make those plays happen. Campbell needs […]

Carlos Hyde Scores Touchdown In Week 3

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde scored his first touchdown of the 2019 season in Sunday's win over the Chargers. Hyde wasn't particularly efficient, finishing with just 19 yards on 10 carries and not getting involved in the passing game. Fantasy owners should feel conflicted by this performance. Hyde is getting all the early down […]

James Conner Can't Get Going In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner rushed for just 43 yards on 14 carries, while catching four of five targets for just 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to San Francisco. The offensive line had a tough time creating lanes for Conner and in turn he put up his third straight clunker of the year. […]

Jack Doyle Shows Some Upside In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle has seen his role fluctuate on a weekly basis. In Week 3, he showed some upside by catching all four of his targets for 46 yards. When quarterback Jacoby Brissett looks in his direction, he's a consistent threat to come down with the ball. The only problem is, just […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Three Touchdowns Against Chargers

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson got off to a slow start in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he turned it on in the second half, finishing with 351 yards and three touchdowns on 25-for-34 passing. Watson also added 18 rushing yards on seven carries. Watson is one of the NFL's best young […]

Eagles Defense Struggles in Week 3

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense struggled in a Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. The Eagles lost 27-24, and the defense did not force a fumble nor collect a sack. It was a rough day overall for the Eagles, who suffered from key drops on offense and blown coverages on defense. A defensive unit that […]

Aldrick Rosas Has Fantasy Value Again

With the New York Giants finding new life under rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, it seems like kicker Aldrick Rosas has fantasy viability again. The Pro Bowler knocked in all three of his extra points and cleared the uprights on his only field goal attempt, from 36 yards out. If Daniel Jones continues to look at […]

Marvin Jones Shines In Lions Win

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones rewarded fantasy owners in a big way Sunday, catching six balls for 101 yards and one touchdown to lead the Lions over the Eagles. Jones was targeted a team-high nine times and did not disappoint, taking advantage of an Eagles secondary that has not been able to stop opposing […]

Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Three Extra Points in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 3, putting up a 25-yard field goal and three extra points. Elliott didn't get as many chances as expected to kick field goals, but he was still accurate as ever. He should keep being a solid fantasy kicker on a good offensive team.

Giants Defense Remains Awful In Win

The New York Giants Defense did everything they could to lose the game on Sunday. After Daniel Jones led the Giants to a go-ahead score with just over a minute left, the secondary inexplicably let Mike Evans beat them over the top. It took a missed 34-yard field goal for the Giants to hold onto […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Catches Just One Pass in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught just one pass in Week 3, gaining 10 yards. The rookie was expected to take on a bigger role in Week 3 since DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) were both out, but instead it was Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins taking on the brunt of […]

Wayne Gallman Takes Over For Barkley

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman took over for Saquon Barkley after Barkley left early with an ankle injury on Sunday. The only issue is that the Giants were coming from behind and didn’t use Gallman much. He finished the day with just five carries for 13 yards. The Giants are likely to go […]

Darius Slayton Impressive In First NFL Game

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton looked good in his first NFL game. After missing the first two weeks with a hamstring injury, Slayton immediately slotted in as the Giants deep threat with Cody Latimer (concussion) out. Daniel Jones looked his way for a few big plays, and it looks like Slayton has a […]
