Mason Rudolph Throws First Two Career Touchdowns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Rudolph was thrust into action to start the second half after Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) sustained an injury. Rudolph looked solid and did a good job bringing the Steelers back into the game but the defense […]

Dede Westbrook Struggles Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught just one of his five targets in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, finishing with just three yards. It was the second disappointing game in a row for Westbrook, though this one makes Week 1's 30 yard performance look good. Westbrook and rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew just aren't […]

Cowboys Defense Disappoints in Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys Defense disappointed its fantasy owners again in Week 2, allowing 21 points to Washington. They did not record an interception nor force a fumble, and only sacked quarterback Case Keenum once. The Cowboys defense was expected to be one of the best plays of Week 2, but ended up as a middling […]

Tyler Boyd Has A Big Day In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd led all Bengals receivers in Week 2 with 10 targets. Boyd turned those 10 targets into 10 catches and 122 scoreless yards. Boyd ran tremendous routes throughout the game and looked explosive, serving as Dalton's favorite passing option in A.J. Green's absence. The Bengals will face off against the […]

Jaylen Samuels Nets 31 Total Yards

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels toted three carries for 18 yards, while catching one pass for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-26 loss to the Seahawks. James Conner (knee) went down which thrusted Samuels into action, but he didn't get as many chances as the Steelers were playing comeback in the second half. The second-year […]

Brett Maher Makes Four Extra Points and a Field Goal

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all four of his extra-point attempts in Week 2, adding a 25-yard field goal as well. In a week where several kickers struggled, Maher was his usual consistent self. With the Cowboys offense clicking as it has been, Maher hasn't really been needed for field goals, but he should […]

D.J. Chark Finds End Zone In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark found the end zone for the second week in a row, catching a late score in the fourth quarter that brought the Jaguars within a point. Chark led the team with nine targets, catching seven of them for 55 yards. His usage in Week 2 suggests that his Week […]

Blake Jarwin Catches Just One Pass in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught just one pass in Week 2, gaining 22 yards. Meanwhile, Jason Witten caught four passes and came down with a touchdown. Jarwin was still only three yards behind Witten's 25 though, showing the difference between their games. Still, Jarwin won't have a consistent enough role in the offense […]

Matthew Stafford Delivers Middling Effort In Lions Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford proved efficient in the Lions 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2, completing 22 of his 30 pass attempts, but he was otherwise unspectacular on the day. Stafford threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns while being picked off twice in what was a somewhat sloppy affair […]

Randall Cobb Touches the Ball Seven Times in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught five passes in Week 2, gaining 24 yards through the air. He added two rushing plays, picking up 11 yards on the ground. Cobb took a step back this week but the offensive game plan showed that he should still be involved going forward. He's not a starting […]

Joe Mixon Can't Get Going Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) started in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers and simply couldn't get anything going on the ground or in the passing game. Mixon carried the ball 11 times for just 17 yards and added three catches for a mere 10 yards. In fairness to Mixon, he really […]

Chris Conley Has Solid Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley caught four passes for a team-high 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew has been looking Conley's way pretty consistently, and he's becoming a solid fantasy option in deeper leagues. With Marqise Lee and Keelan Cole seemingly out of the team's receiving rotation, […]

Jason Witten Shows Up Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten played a big role in Week 2, catching four passes for 25 yards and a touchdown. Witten's score came on a short two-yard pass from Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Witten came out of retirement to play in 2019 and has scored a touchdown in both weeks so […]

Leonard Fournette Grinds Out Solid Fantasy Day

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 15 times for 47 yards in Jacksonville's Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans. He also caught four passes for 40 yards. Fournette was the only Jaguars running back with a carry or a target in this one, and while it wasn't his best game, his […]

Patriots Defense Destroys The Dolphins

The New England Patriots Defense returned two interceptions for touchdowns and held the Dolphins scoreless in the team's dominant 43-0 win in Week 2. The Dolphins offense is a mess, but the Patriots defense has emerged as a unit to be reckoned with. The defense has now allowed only three points through their first two […]

Josh Gordon Disappoints With Two Receptions

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught only two passes for 19 yards in the Patriots 43-0 win over the Dolphins. Gordon was targeted on back-to-back plays, picking up a first down and then disappeared from the game plan. The Patriots got off to a huge lead and opted to run the football for […]

Rex Burkhead Tallies 68 Total Yards Against Miami

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead caught two passes for 47 yards and added 21 rushing yards in the team's blowout win over the Dolphins. It is early in the season but Burkhead has somehow passed veteran James White on the depth chart. Burkhead has ability running and catching the football and has succeeded […]

Amari Cooper Scores a Touchdown in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught four passes in Week 2, gaining 44 yards and scoring a touchdown. His score came on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott in the third quarter. Cooper was two catches behind Michael Gallup but was the one to come down with a score. Cooper and Gallup look […]

James White Picks Up Late Touchdown

New England Patriots running back James White totaled only 29 yards from scrimmage but caught a late touchdown in the team's 43-0 win over the Dolphins in Week 2. The running game revolved around Sony Michel in this contest and White was a non-factor most of the game. The Patriots have improved wide receiving talent […]

John Ross Scores In Garbage Time

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross saw less targets (eight) than Tyler Boyd (10) in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he still came through for fantasy purposes. Ross caught four of his eight targets for 112 yards and one touchdown. Ross' 66-yard touchdown came in garbage time as the No. 2 option […]

Gardner Minshew Leads Jaguars In Rushing

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw for 213 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. He was 22-for-33 passing and also added 56 rushing yards on six carries. It was another solid fantasy outing for Minshew, though it didn't really translate to the scoreboard for the rookie passer. Minshew looks like […]

Julian Edelman Adds 51 Yards In Blowout Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught four passes for 51 yards in the Patriots 43-0 win over the Dolphins. It was a quiet effort for Edelman but he still came up with some solid catches in traffic. The first half of football clearly favored new teammate Antonio Brown on offense, which could cut […]

Sony Michel Punches In Touchdown

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 43-0 win over the Dolphins in Week 2. After posting only 14 yards in Week 1, Michel was heavily involved in the offense and ran with conviction. The second-year running back saw plenty of […]

Michael Gallup Catches Six Passes in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup caught six passes in Week 2, gaining 68 yards. Gallup caught the most passes out of the Dallas receivers, and had the second most yards through the air. Through two weeks, Gallup has shown that he is certainly part of the game plan on offense this year. He's set […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Throws Two Touchdowns To Patriots

The mercy rule was finally invoked for Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after he threw his second pick-six to put Miami down 37-0 to the visiting New England Patriots. The Dolphins offense was again completely impotent with Fitzpatrick under center, totaling only 28 yards in their first eight drives. And while their next two drives […]

Tom Brady Racks Up Three Total Touchdowns In Romp

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 20 of 28 passes for 264 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the team's throttling of the Dolphins 43-0. Brady welcomed a new weapon to his team, a certain player named Antonio Brown, and the pairing immediately paid dividends. Brady looked Brown's way early and […]

Antonio Brown Immediately Makes Impact

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown caught four passes for 56 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 43-0 drubbing of the Dolphins. Brown was not on the field for the first offensive play but made his debut on the following play and immediately caught a pass down the middle for a first down. […]

Devin Smith Catches a Long Touchdown in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith made some noise in Week 2, catching three passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. Smith's score was the first of the game for the Cowboys, coming on a 51-yard strike from quarterback Dak Prescott. He saw fewer targets than several other Cowboys pass catchers, but he showed his […]

Andy Dalton Under Pressure All Day

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton really missed his starting left tackle Cordy Glenn in Week 2 against the 49ers. Dalton was sacked four times and took several more hits after he got rid of the ball in the Bengals 41-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Bengals won't get any relief in the near […]
