LeGarrette Blount Lays An Egg Against Bills

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount took seven carries for just nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills. This continues a trend downward for Blount, as both Zach Zenner and Theo Riddick have been receiving the bulk of the rushing work. The bruising back heavily relies on volume to produce, so on an offense […]

Theo Riddick Sees 10 Touches In Week 15

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick rushed for 47 yard on just eight carries, while also hauling in two passes for a paltry nine yards in the loss to the Bills on Sunday. Riddick has seen an increase in carries the past three games which typically would help increase his floor; however, it has taken […]

Matthew Stafford Has Average Game Against Bills

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 22 of 29 for 208 yards and a touchdown in the 14-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. While nothing special, this was a better day than the Week 14 offering from Stafford. The Lions offense is a mess due to injuries and the 30-year-old is dealing with […]

Peyton Barber Scores TD in Week 15

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had one of his better rushing games of the season versus the Ravens in Week 15. Barber rushed 19 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the 20-12 loss. This was a nice game for Barber, but he hasn't been reliable in fantasy football this season. Fantasy […]

Todd Gurley Injured Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) is questionable to return in the second half on Sunday night against the Eagles. The Rams offense runs through Gurley, so they'd be in trouble if this is a serious injury, as would his fantasy owners. The good news is Gurley had already carried the ball 11 […]

Adam Humphries Grabs Four Receptions in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries had a fairly rough day from a fantasy perspective, but tied with the team-high in receptions during Week 15. Humphries caught four of his six targets for 23 yards in the 20-12 loss to the Ravens. Quarterback Jameis Winston was only able to connect on 13 passes, so […]

Cameron Brate Held to One Reception

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was held in check by the Ravens in Week 15. Brate caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the 20-12 loss to Baltimore. Brate remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option that is difficult to trust in most leagues. He should be considered a TE2 versus the […]

Pittsburgh Steelers Defense Impressive In Week 15

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense turned in an impressive performance in a 17-10 win over the New England Patriots in Week 15. While they didn't post huge stats, notching just one sack and one interception, their ability to hold an explosive Patriots offense to 10 points is noteworthy. Pittsburgh won't get a chance to relax as […]

Vance McDonald Scores In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown in his team's 17-10 win over the New England Patriots in Week 15. McDonald got the Steelers off to a fast start, capping off their first drive with a seven-yard touchdown reception. McDonald has been a borderline TE1/TE2 throughout the […]

Jaylen Samuels Dominates Patriots In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels turned in a dominant performance in a Week 15 win over the New England Patriots. Samuels carried the ball 19 times for 142 yards while adding two catches for 30 yards. The rookie runner was impressive, ripping off several long runs and breaking tackles with regularity. It all depends […]

Ben Roethlisberger Throws Two TDs In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 22 of his 34 pass attempts for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a Week 15 win. While it wasn't a huge performance, Roethlisberger did enough to down the AFC-rival New England Patriots. Roethlisberger will be a top-five play in Week 16 against a New Orleans Saints […]

George Kittle Clears 50 Yards Again

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle grabbed three balls for 51 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. Kittle led the team with eight targets but the Seahawks were successful in containing the breakout second-year stud. Kittle also yielded two catches and a score to fellow tight end Garrett Celek while quarterback Nick […]

Dante Pettis Paces Niners Pass Catchers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis snatched all five of his targets for 83 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. Pettis once again operated as the Niners No. 1 receiver, using excellent technique and making chain-moving plays. His longest grab on the day was an impressive 30-yard contested catch in the second […]

Matt Breida Aggravates Ankle Injury Against Seattle

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) aggravated his ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 15 overtime win over the Seahawks. Breida was the lead back for most of this game over Jeffery Wilson, which was a good sign for Breida's owners after he sat out in Week 14. He totaled […]

Robbie Gould Plays The Hero

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted all four of his field goal attempts in Week 15, including a game-winning 36-yarder in overtime. Gould also chipped in two extra points for 14 total points on the day. The 36-year-old is now 29-for-30 on field goals this season and continues to be a reliable boot for […]

Sony Michel Grinds Out 59 Rushing Yard In Loss

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 13 times for 59 yards in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. Michel averaged 4.5 yards per carry but his snap-count went down with James White and Rex Burkhead also sharing time in the backfield. The rookie running back put together some solid runs […]

Nick Mullens Mistake-Free In Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens went 20-for-29 with 275 yards and one touchdown in Week 15’s upset victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Mullens found tight end Garrett Celek for a 41-yard score in the second quarter for the team’s only offensive touchdown on the day. Playing on a rainy field, Mullens kept the chains […]

James White Held In Check By Steelers

New England Patriots running back James White totaled only 37 yards from scrimmage in the Patriots loss to the Steelers in Week 15. White lost snaps to running back Rex Burkhead and the Steelers defense has been fantastic at stopping running backs in the passing game. Both of these factors led to another down performance […]

Rob Gronkowski Totals Only 21 Yards In Loss

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski caught only two passes for 21 yards in the team's 17-10 loss to the Steelers in Week 15. One week after playing his best game of the season, the Steelers did an admirable job of bottling up Gronk. He saw five targets in the game, especially on the […]

Jeffery Wilson Plays Up-And-Down Game

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson rushed seven times for 46 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. With Matt Breida (ankle) healthy, Wilson returned to a complementary role. Despite some flashes, he hurt his own cause by coughing up a fumble, dropping an easy pass and committing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Wilson […]

Chris Hogan Catches 63-Yard Touchdown Pass

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan caught two passes for 68 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown, in the Patriots Week 15 loss to the Steelers. Hogan sprung free on a broken play in the first quarter and easily scored to put the Patriots on the board. From there Hogan would see only two more […]

Josh Gordon Disappears In Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught only one pass for 19 yards in the team's Week 15 loss to the Steelers. Gordon was practically non-existent in the game and saw only two targets in a game where the Patriots struggled to move the ball in the air. Gordon had strung together some promising […]

Julian Edelman Leads Patriots With 90 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman recorded a team-high seven receptions for 90 yards in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. Edelman enjoyed an active game as he saw 11 targets and came up with a huge 34-yard reception late to give the Patriots a chance to possibly tie the game in the […]

Matt Breida Retakes Lead Role

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) grinded out 50 yards on 17 carries and caught five passes for 46 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. After missing one game with a nagging ankle injury, Breida did not appear limited and led the backfield in snaps and touches by a wide margin. […]

Tom Brady Comes Up Short In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. This mediocre fantasy performance for the future Hall of Famer can mostly be chalked up to missed opportunities. Brady threw a crucial interception in the red zone and […]

Mason Crosby Perfect In Week 15

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made all three of his field goals against the Chicago Bears. The Packers went for two, so Crosby didn't have any extra-point attempts. The Packers are out of playoff contention and may rest starters. Don't expect the offense to score a lot, but Crosby could still put up good […]

San Francisco 49ers Defense And Special Teams Scores Touchdown

The San Francisco 49ers defense and special teams recorded three sacks and returned a kickoff for a touchdown in Week 15’s upset win over the Seattle Seahawks. The return score came courtesy of Richie James Jr. in the first quarter while the defense registered multiple stops against the Seahawks offense. Coming into the game with […]

Blake Jarwin Leads the Cowboys in Receiving Yards in Week 15

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught four passes on Sunday, gaining 45 yards. He was the Cowboys' leading receiver in the game, which says all you need to know about the Dallas offense in this one. Jarwin seems to be taking on the classic Jason Witten floor-TE role. He can likely be started in […]

Amari Cooper Has His Worst Game as a Cowboy in Week 15

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught just four passes in Week 15, gaining 32 yards. The entire Dallas offense was a mess, as they did not score and rarely even came close to the end zone. Cooper was targeted six times, but quarterback Dak Prescott was sailing overthrows all day. Cooper should fare better […]

Ezekiel Elliott Makes the Only Noise for the Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was the only watchable player on the Cowboys offense in Week 15. His team was held scoreless, but Elliott ran the ball 18 times for 87 yards and caught seven passes for 41 more yards. The Cowboys only got near the end zone once and Elliott was stuffed on […]
