David Montgomery Leads Bears With 62 Rushing Yards

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery led the running attack with 62 yards on 18 carries, including his first NFL touchdown, in the Bears thrilling 16-14 win over the Broncos. Montgomery was the lead back from the opening drive and put together some elusive runs between the tackles. He averaged only 3.4 yards per carry […]

Mitch Trubisky Delivers Crucial Throw In Comeback Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 16 of 27 passes for 120 yards and eight rushing yards in the Bears last-second, comeback win over the Broncos 16-14. One week after Trubisky laid a dud against the Packers, the Bears offense took a very run-heavy approach to this battle. Trubisky was able to move the chains […]

Paul Richardson Catches Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson salvaged a dismal fantasy day with a nine-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. His final line for the day was three catches on three targets for 16 yards. After two weeks, it's abundantly clear that Terry McLaurin is the go-to target […]

Adrian Peterson Neutralized By Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson opened the scoring in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, but an early touchdown was the extent of his production for the day. He rushed 10 times for just 25 yards. The Redskins, who lived and died by the run in 2018, have now gotten a combined 43 rushing […]

Terry McLaurin Emerging As Legitimate Fantasy Option

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He has now been targeted 16 times in Washington's first two games, the most of any Redskins wide receiver. The safe play heading into Week 2 was to exercise caution […]

Case Keenum Salvages Day With Two Second-Half TDs

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was held in check by the Dallas defense for most of Sunday's Week 2 loss, but a pair of touchdowns late in the second half saved his fantasy day. Keenum finished with 26 completions on 37 attempts for 221 yards and the two scores. He also didn't commit any turnovers, […]

Damien Williams Injures Knee Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) injured his knee in Week 2 against the Raiders and is questionable to return. Williams turned in a dud before his injury with the Chiefs leading 28-10, rushing only nine times for eight yards (0.9 yards per tote) while catching three of his five targets in the […]

David Johnson Feels Good To Go

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) said his left wrist is "good" and he feels "good to go" after the Week 2 loss to the Ravens. Johnson said it was a "big relief" not to have suffered a serious injury. The team's lead ball carrier had just seven rushes for 14 yards (2.0 yards […]

Kerryon Johnson Satisfies Owners In Week 2

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson delivered a decent performance for fantasy owners that started him in PPR leagues Sunday, but those who started him in non-PPR leagues are probably singing a different tune. Johnson accumulated 41 yards on 12 carries while adding two catches for 47 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers, but […]

Tyler Higbee Injured Sunday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 2 game against the Saints with a chest injury. Higbee caught two of his three targets for 21 yards before leaving. Even in this high-ceiling offense, Higbee remains more of a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 when he's healthy. […]

Adam Vinatieri's Stock Continues To Fall

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri saw the wheels continue to slip in the team's Week 2 win. He went just 1-for-3 on extra-point attempts after missing two field-goal attempts and an extra point in Week 1. In his career, Vinatieri has been the NFL's best kicker of all time. He hit one attempt off the […]

Jack Doyle Disappears in Week 2

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle has clearly become the team's second tight end based on the results of the first two weeks. In Week 2, he had three targets. Of which, he caught two of them for 21 yards. During his breakout season in 2017, Doyle was successful due to a high amount of […]

Eric Ebron Secures A Touchdown In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron didn't see a lot of volume in Week 2. Despite that, he was able to have a decent fantasy day. He secured three catches for 25 yards and a touchdown. Through two weeks, Ebron is now fully in the category where he requires a touchdown to give himself value. […]

Joe Staley Suffers Fractured Fibula

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a fractured left fibula in the Week 2 win over the Bengals when running back Raheem Mostert ran into Staley's leg from behind. The offensive lineman said he's expected to be out six to eight weeks. It's a big and notable loss to San Francisco's offensive […]

Jordan Wilkins Flashes In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins is the third player in the running back rotation. In Week 2, thanks to a 55-yard scamper, he finished the day with five carries for 85 yards. Wilkins had a couple of games like this last year where he would break one big run without adding much else. He's […]

Giants Defense Makes Improvements In Week 2

The New York Giants Defense looked better in Week 2 despite letting up 388 yards and 28 points to the Buffalo Bills. A controversial penalty extended a Bills drive, which resulted in a Frank Gore touchdown, so the final score could have easily been 24-10. The Giants were also able to sack Josh Allen three […]

Robbie Gould Scores 11 Points

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted five extra points and two of three field goal tries in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The offensive surge by the Niners against an overmatched Bengals Defense permitted plenty of opportunities for Gould, who knocked through boots of 33 and 38 yards. The 37-year-old veteran will remain […]

Aldrick Rosas Misses Lone Field Goal Attempt For Giants

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas missed a 48-yard field goal attempt in Sunday's loss to the Bills. The Pro Bowler wasn't asked to do much during the game, knocking in both his extra points, but his lone field-goal attempt sailed wide left. The Giants figure to do more scoring next week against the Bucs, […]

Parris Campbell Secures His First Touchdown

In Week 2, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell caught his lone target, and he turned it into his first career touchdown. On the day, he caught one pass for 12 yards and one touchdown. Campbell caught his touchdown midway through the second quarter, but he didn't see another target the remainder of the game. […]

T.J. Jones Effective In First Game With Giants

New York Giants wide receiver T.J. Jones made a good impression after being signed earlier this week. With Sterling Shepard inactive due to a concussion and starting wide receiver Cody Latimer leaving the game early with a concussion of his own, Jones was forced into the lineup and delivered three catches for 38 yards and […]

Chris Boswell Perfect Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made two field goals as well as both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle. Boswell made field goals of 41 and 33 yards. He got more chances than in Week 1 against the Patriots but not as many as fantasy owners would have liked. The team's Week 3 […]

Bennie Fowler Emerges As Leading Receiver For Giants

New York Giants wide receiver Bennie Fowler led the team in receiving yards on Sunday, finishing with five catches for 51 yards on a team-leading 10 targets. As expected, the slot receiver was able to take advantage of the Bills being without nickel cornerback Taron Johnson, but he also left yards on the field with […]

Evan Engram Quiet Against Bills

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was held to 48 yards on six catches in Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard out with a concussion, the Bills Defense was able to key on Engram in the passing game. He was often shadowed by linebacker Tremaine Edmunds or safety Micah Hyde, which gave […]

Chester Rogers Is Quiet In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Chester Rogers was given the WR2 duties this week with starting wideout Devin Funchess (collarbone) on injured reserve. Despite that, he wasn't able to turn in a successful fantasy performance. On four targets, he caught three of them for 24 yards. Rogers needs more volume or a big play to give […]

Eli Manning Ineffective Versus Bills

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning struggled against the Bills on Sunday, finishing with 250 yards passing, one TD and two interceptions. Manning threw a handful of beautiful passes, including the touchdown to T.J. Jones, but he also made some awful throws and was unable to move the offense consistently. The veteran quarterback might be […]

Saquon Barkley Effective But Misses Out On Big Day

For the second week in a row, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley seemed on his way to a huge day after the first drive. The second-year back piled up 55 yards on the ground and a TD as he thrashed the Bills. However, the Giants Defense would allow the Bills to respond quickly, […]

Steelers Defense Can't Contain Seahawks

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gave up 426 yards in a 28-26 loss to Seattle on Sunday. Early on, the defensive front was able to contain the Seahawks running game but as the game went on, Seattle just drowned out Pittsburgh on the ground. Down to the wire, the Steelers weren't able to keep Russell Wilson […]

Marquise Goodwin Waltzes Into End Zone

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin grabbed three of three targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Goodwin opened the scoring, getting wide open for a 38-yard touchdown in the first quarter. His services weren’t needed much further in the 41-17 rout but any fantasy owners who […]

T.Y. Hilton Salvages His Day Late In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton was held relatively in check in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Late in the fourth quarter, he was able to secure his fourth catch of the game which put him up to 43 yards on the day, and, most important, it was for a touchdown. In PPR scoring, […]

Dante Pettis Non-Existent Once Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis saw zero targets in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. In a 41-17 blowout, Pettis observed eight other Niners receive looks in the passing game ahead of him. He did manage to toss a 16-yard pass on a gadget play. Pettis played more on Sunday compared to Week […]
