Jason Myers Drills Three Extra Points In Win

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers wasn't put in any high-pressure game-winning field goal situations during the team's Week 1 win against Cincinnati, but his perfect day on extra points proved to be critical since the team only squeaked out the win by one point. The former Pro Bowler should get plenty of opportunities with the […]

Tyler Lockett Catches One Pass, Wins Game

Perhaps he didn't truly "win" the entire game for the team, but Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett did score the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Lockett was silent for the entire game until he got behind the defense late in Seattle's Week 1 game, and quarterback Russell […]

D.K. Metcalf Fantastic In Debut

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf certainly lived up to all the hype in his first NFL game. Metcalf led the Seahawks by hauling in 89 yards on four receptions including two very nifty grabs that set up critical touchdowns. Metcalf was mostly considered a workout warrior after his incredible NFL Combine performance this spring, […]

Rashaad Penny Sees Minimal Action

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny made some appearances as a change-of-pace back on Sunday, but he didn't change the pace in any way. Instead, Penny rushed for an average of 3.0 YPC by totaling 18 yards on six carries (starter Chris Carson also averaged 3.0 YPC), and he wasn't targeted a single time through […]

Chris Carson Scores Two TDs Against Cincy

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson struggled mightily on the ground for the majority of the team's Week 1 win against the Bengals, but he showed that the coaching staff's new passing plans have some real potential. Carson would finish with 46 yards and a score on the ground, but it took one big run […]

Russell Wilson Throws For Two Touchdowns

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson posted another solid day in the team's Week 1 win against the Bengals. Wilson was accurate but unspectacular as he completed 70% of his passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The offense in general was terrible at the start of the game, but in true Seahawks […]

Quinton Jefferson, D-Line Shine For Seattle

Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson easily had his best game as a member of the team on Sunday when he racked up two sacks, three QB hits, and two pass deflections in Seattle's win against Cincy. Jefferson came up huge in big situations, deflecting one of those passes on a critical third down. His […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injures Toe In Loss To Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) got rolled up on late in the blowout Week 1 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night, but expects to be ready to go in Week 2 at home against the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster caught six of his eight targets for 78 scoreless yards in the season opener. He […]

Jaylen Samuels Quiet Against Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels received just two carries for four yards, while catching one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 33-3 loss to the Patriots. For as long as Pittsburgh was behind, it was surprising that Samuels didn't see more action in the passing game. The Steelers' offense couldn't get anything […]

Devante Parker Provides Much of Dolphins Offense

There was optimism that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker would become more of a focal point in the offense with the trade of Kenny Stills but that wasn't the case at the beginning of a 59-10 blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 1. Parker wasn't targeted for the first time until the beginning […]

James Conner Garners 14 Touches In Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner took 10 carries for 21 yards and four receptions for 44 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Conner got taken out of the game plan early as the Steelers couldn't move the ball at all. The most consistent workload the 24-year-old received all evening was just before halftime […]

Ben Roethlisberger Shoots A Blank Against Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went 27 of 47 for 276 yards and an interception in Sunday night's 33-3 loss to the Patriots. The 37-year-old looked out of sync all evening, although his receivers did drop a few passes. Overall, the Steelers looked awful in their season opener, and Roethlisberger ultimately is the scapegoat. Things don't […]

Devin Funchess Suffers Broken Collarbone

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Devin Funchess suffered an injury during the team's Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It was announced later in the evening that it was a broken collarbone. He'll likely require surgery and possibly be done for the remainder of the season as a result.

Browns Defense Struggles in Week 1 Loss

The Cleveland Browns Defense struggled in a 43-13 Week 1 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. Cleveland racked up four sacks but was not able to force a turnover in the contest. Not all of the blame can be placed at the feet of the Cleveland defense as two of Baker Mayfield's fourth-quarter […]

Jets Defense Forces Four Turnovers, Scores Touchdown

The New York Jets Defense forced four turnovers, four sacks, and scored a touchdown in the team's 17-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday. Fantasy owners who streamed the Jets defense were rewarded early as linebacker C.J. Mosely returned an interception for a touchdown in the first quarter. The Jets also added a safety to […]

Marvin Jones Has Mediocre Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones caught four of four targets for 56 yards, including a 23-yard catch on Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals. Jones is certainly capable of much more, but with the competition from Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola and T.J. Hockensen, there just won't be enough consistent fantasy production from him. For […]

Ty Montgomery A Non-Factor In Jets Debut

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery had two carries for four yards and didn't get a target in his first game as a member of the Jets. Coming into the game there was talk of Montgomery taking some work from Le'Veon Bell in Bell's first game back after a year out of football but […]

Kenny Golladay Scores In Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay was held to just four receptions for 42 yards but was able to snag a touchdown during the Lions Week 1 tie against the Arizona Cardinals. Although Galladay was held to only four receptions, he was targeted nine times, which helps his fantasy value. Golladay was only out-targeted by […]

Robby Anderson Quiet In Week 1 Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson had three catches for 23 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Bills. Cornerback Tre'Davious White and the rest of the Bills secondary that ranked first in the NFL last season did a great job keeping Anderson out of the game as the Jets offense stalled all […]

Danny Amendola Shines With New Team

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola was excellent in his first game as a Lion. Amendola finished Sunday's game with seven receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals. Amendola is behind Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay on the depth chart, but he greatly out-produced both of them in Week 1. It […]

Matt Prater Elite In Week 1

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater went 2-for-2 on field goals, including a 55-yarder, and hit all three of his extra points during Sunday's tie against the Arizona Cardinals. There is no doubt that Prater is one of the best real-life and fantasy producing kickers in the league. Prater can be played in all formats and […]

Lions Defense Lit Up In Fourth Quarter

The Lions Defense held strong against the Arizona Cardinals offense for three quarters and only six points but were lit up for 18 points in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals have a young and talented offense that just seemed to click in the fourth quarter, which makes the Lions defense outlook not as grim as […]

Giovani Bernard Steps In For Joe Mixon

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard assumed full-time running back duties after Joe Mixon suffered an ankle injury in the Bengals Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. In Mixon's absence, Bernard carried the football seven times for just 21 yards as the eight-year veteran struggled to find running lanes against a Seattle defensive front […]

Delanie Walker Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 1

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker looked like he hadn't lost a step in his first regular season action since Week 1 of 2018. Walker posted five receptions on a team-high six targets for 55 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 1 win against the Cleveland Browns. Walker will continue to be a […]

Tyler Eifert Catches Five Passes

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert made it through Week 1 without injury. Eifert was minimally involved in the Bengals passing game against the Seattle Seahawks, but he was able to make several contested catches, logging five grabs for 27 yards. The former first-round pick out of Notre Dame looks like he can still be […]

Chase Edmonds Has One Touch In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had only one rush attempt for five yards and missed his lone target in Week 1 against the Lions. The second-year man is nothing more than a backup to veteran David Johnson at this point. With the type of workload that DJ received in the game against the Lions, […]

A.J. Brown Explodes For 100 Yards In NFL Debut

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown made a splash in his first career regular season game, catching three of four targets for 100 yards. Brown led all Titans receivers in targets and yards in his debut despite missing the majority of training camp with an injury. Even more impressive, Brown did this without the […]

Minnesota Vikings Defense Impressive In Debut

The Minnesota Vikings Defense started the 2019 season on a very positive note, registering four sacks, two interceptions, one fumble recovery, and a blocked kick en route to a 28-12 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. Safety Anthony Harris snagged both of the interceptions, and the Vikings had the Falcons under pressure all afternoon. The Vikes […]

Andy Isabella Shut Out In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella didn't record a single offensive stat in Week 1 against the Lions. The 62nd overall pick in the 2019 draft has yet to make a significant impact. Fellow rookie Keesean Johnson has already made a splash and connection with quarterback Kyler Murray and will continue to see his fair […]

Corey Davis Shut Out In Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was held without a catch on three targets in the team's 43-13 blowout win over the Cleveland Browns. Despite a productive day for the offense, Davis was a complete no show. This is the worst possible start to the 2019 season for Davis owners, as tight end Delanie Walker […]
