Matt Breida Mauls Bengals

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida raced for 121 yards on 12 carries and caught his only target for 11 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Breida and backfield mate Raheem Mostert (151 scrimmage yards) gashed the Bengals all day, both enjoying huge performances. The Niners had a few opportunities at the […]

Hayden Hurst Capitalizes On Only Target

Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's win against the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has shown through Week 2 of the season that he will count on his tight ends in the passing game, but the majority of those targets will be going to Mark […]

Marlon Mack Gets Stifled In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack went crazy in Week 1. In Week 2, he was held very much in check. On 20 carries, he had just 51 yards while he added two catches for 12 yards. The Titans' defensive line is one of the better groups in football, and it showed as Mack struggled […]

Keke Coutee Struggles Against Jaguars

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee made his season debut in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching two passes for seven yards. He was targeted four times. If Coutee's going to only be involved in the short passing game, he's going to have no fantasy relevance outside of deep leagues. It's possible that Houston […]

Ryan Switzer Unheard From In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ryan Switzer caught one of his four targets but didn't gain a yard in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Switzer bobbled a punt early in the game and the team seemed to remove him from their game plan after that. It doesn't much matter because there are so many other mouths […]

Kenny Stills Catches Pair Of Passes

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught a pair of passes for 38 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was targeted three times. Stills looks like an interesting deep league fantasy option when Houston has a good matchup, but against a defense as good as Jacksonville, he just wasn't able […]

Deebo Samuel Leads Niners In Receiving

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel snagged five of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Even with alleged less playing time this week, Samuel led the team in targets, receptions and yards, scoring on a 2-yard pass in the third quarter. The second-round rookie has […]

Jacoby Brissett Is Efficient In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a relatively quiet day as he totaled 146 yards on 17-for-28 passing with three touchdowns and one interception. He also added seven carries for 25 yards. Coming into the game, he wasn't expected to bring you a ton of production. If he hadn't lost a fumble, he would have […]

Mark Ingram Quiet But Assertive

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed for 47 yards on 13 carries Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Ingram led the backfield in touches, as Gus Edwards and Justice Hill were given a combined four carries for 15 yards. The veteran was briefly involved in the passing game, catching both of his targets for 30 […]

Diontae Johnson Catches One Pass In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson was targeted four times and just corralled one of them for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle. Johnson is a target to look for down the stretch but with Ben Roethlisberger's (elbow) status in the air, it's hard to know what to expect from this Pittsburgh offense […]

Donte Moncrief Benched After Third-Quarter Drop

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Donte Moncrief dropped his only target during Sunday's loss to Seattle. Mason Rudolph started the second half after Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) wasn't able to continue. His Moncrief look was his second career NFL throw and it went right through the receiver's hands and into the mits of a Seattle defender. The […]

Raheem Mostert Surpasses 150 Scrimmage Yards

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert rushed 13 times for 83 yards and caught three of four targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mostert was everywhere on Sunday and was rewarded with an early 39-yard screen pass for his score. The Niners obliterated the Bengals on […]

Will Fuller Has Four Receptions Against Jaguars

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller had four catches for 40 yards in Houston's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was targeted seven times. Sunday was good evidence that Fuller is still the number-two guy on this Texans team even after the trade for Kenny Stills, but it was also a poor day […]

DeAndre Hopkins Held In Check

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had to spend Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars shadowed by Jags corner Jalen Ramsey, which was a big part of why Hopkins failed to make much of an impact. Hopkins caught five passes for 40 yards. He led the team with eight targets. Don't let this game fool […]

James Washington Quiet Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle. The second-year receiver was almost non-existent in the game plan. Even once Mason Rudolph took over in the second half, Washington wasn't thrown to until the fourth quarter. Regardless of who is throwing to him, the […]

Duke Johnson Sees Drop In Usage

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson ended up seeing his role reduced in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson had six carries for 31 yards and failed to bring in his only target. With so many receiving options for the Texans, Johnson's value as a receiver is reduced, which means he needs rushing touches […]

George Kittle Takes Back Seat In Blowout

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle cradled his three targets for 54 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kittle’s receiving services weren’t needed in the blowout victory, as the Niners rushed for 259 yards. Kittle threw a few good blocks, which is meaningless for fantasy owners but his presence on the field […]

Mason Crosby Converts All Kicking Attempts In Victory

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby converted all three kicks he attempted in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, all three kicks were extra points. Crosby won the kicking battle in the offseason and has been accurate so far this season. Crosby should remain a streaming option each week as part […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has Quiet Game In Victory

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a quiet outing in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Valdes-Scantling caught three of his six targets for 19 yards. The Packers offense looked improved, but the receiver struggled to get open in the game. The secondary option in the Packers offense looked to be sewn up […]

Green Bay Packers Defense Forces Several Turnovers

The Green Bay Packers Defense worked hard, forcing multiple turnovers in the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers were only able to record a single sack in the matchup, but the four turnovers that they forced saved their fantasy output. The unit gave up its first touchdowns of the season in the encounter, but they […]

Jimmy Graham Struggles Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham struggled in the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Graham was unable to catch either of the targets that he was given in the matchup. The game script seemed to be the biggest enemy for the veteran tight end. The Packers jumped out to a lead in the opening […]

Davante Adams Bounces Back In Victory Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams bounced back in the team victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Adams struggled in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears but returned to being an elite fantasy option. Adams didn't score a touchdown, but he did haul in seven of his nine targets for 106 yards. The Green […]

Geronimo Allison Catches Touchdown In Victory

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison caught a touchdown in the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Allison didn't attract a single target in the opening game against the Chicago Bears and continued to be quiet in this one. Allison's touchdown saved his fantasy week, catching four passes for 25 yards while also logging a […]

Jamaal Williams Scores Touchdown In Victory Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams scored a touchdown in his team's victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Williams rushed nine times for 28 yards, adding a further 13 receiving yards and a touchdown from three receptions. Williams was clearly the second option for the Packers, who gave running back Aaron Jones 27 touches in […]

Aaron Jones Rushes For Over 100 Yards In Victory

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones rushed for over 100 yards in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Jones finished his game with 23 attempts for 116 yards and a touchdown, adding 34 yards and four receptions. Jones struggled in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears, but this performance will give fantasy owners […]

Aaron Rodgers Leads Packers To Win Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team to a divisional win against the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers finished the game completing 22 of his 34 attempts for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Rodgers did also have a rush attempt for no gain and a fumble. The Packers seemed to be improved on offense in […]

Mark Andrews Shows Reliability Again

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews showed out Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Andrews caught eight balls on nine targets for 120 yards and a touchdown in the win. Quarterback Lamar Jackson relied on his tight ends more than any other group and Andrews has proven himself as Baltimore's most reliable option. Andrews has caught […]

Vance McDonald Finds Pay Dirt Twice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught all seven targets for 38 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle. It was the first time in his career that he's scored twice in one game. Once Mason Rudolph took over for Ben Roethlisberger (elbow ) in the second half, McDonald became the most […]

Drew Brees Injures Right Hand Against Rams

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) injured his right hand in Week 2 against the Rams and is on the sidelines. Brees has his right thumb wrapped and hasn't even attempted to throw a football while backup Teddy Bridgewater is in the game against Los Angeles. It's a worst-case scenario for Brees owners, especially […]

Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage Officially In Timeshare

Miami Dolphins running backs Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage shared the tiny load equally on Sunday, in a 43-0 loss at home to the New England Patriots. Ballage started the game and played in the second series as well before giving way to Drake for Miami's final three drives of the half. The two backs […]
