Drew Brees Tosses 500th Touchdown In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints 24-23 win over the Ravens. Brees threw his 500th career touchdown in the game as the Saints barely escaped with the victory. The veteran quarterback typically struggles on the road but was able to make […]

Maurice Harris Making Little Of Opportunities

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris has seen a considerable increase in playing time in the absences of Paul Richardson and Jamison Crowder in recent weeks, but he's been unable to capitalize on it. His three catches for 22 yards in Sunday's victory over Dallas bring his season totals in those categories to nine and […]

Redskins Defense Emerging In Fantasy Conversation

The Washington Redskins defense has not been flashy, nor do they possess the marquee names of some of the league's most vaunted units. After a Week 7 victory over the Cowboys, however, they have limited four of their six opponents to 17 points or fewer. They've also forced 11 turnovers, and converted one of those […]

Brandin Cooks Scores Touchdown In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks didn't have the biggest yardage total on the day, but he salvaged it thanks to a touchdown. He finished the day with four catches for 64 yards and the touchdown. While Cooks doesn't have the same volume share of fellow wideout Robert Woods, he is more likely to […]

Josh Doctson Unproductive Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson continued what has been an incredibly underwhelming season in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Doctson hauled in three catches on six targets for 42 yards, finally breaking the 100-yard mark on the season. With how forgettable 2018 has been for Redskins wide receivers, one would think that the team […]

Robert Woods Leads Team In Week 7 Targets

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods continues to lead the team in targets, which helps maintain his value every week. In Week 7, he finished with five catches for 78 yards on seven targets. Woods doesn't have the big-play ability of fellow wideout Brandin Cooks, but his volume helps win out. While wide receiver […]

Dede Westbrook Records Four Catches In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught four passes for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans. Westbrook was targeted just four times in this game, ranking just fifth on the team. In a crowded receiving group, Westbrook isn't doing much to stand out aside from a pair of touchdown passes this season. He's […]

Todd Gurley Scores Three Touchdowns In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley didn't have his biggest yardage total of the season in Week 7, but he had a big day overall. He finished the day with 15 carries for 63 yards and two touchdowns to go along with four catches and 23 yards with one touchdown. Gurley remains a locked-in […]

Kapri Bibbs Catches Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs found himself slightly more involved in the offense on Sunday than he was last week. He saw five targets in the passing game, converting those into four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown. Bibbs has temporarily taken over the Chris Thompson role in Washington's offense, as he's clearly […]

Keelan Cole Has Forgettable Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught two passes for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Cole was targeted seven times, but he's now hauled in 41 yards or fewer in four of the last five weeks and appears to be falling down the ladder in terms of utilization in the Jacksonville […]

Jared Goff Consistent In Week 7 Blowout

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had a solid day in Week 7. He finished 18 of 24 for 202 yards with two touchdowns to go with two carries for four yards. Goff is a QB1 when the team gets into a shootout, but when the team thoroughly dominates as they did this week, it […]

D.J. Chark Sees More Usage In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught four passes for 31 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He was targeted seven times. The targets and receptions were both career-highs for the rookie, though it might be too early to suggest that it means much going forward. Still, with quarterback Cody Kessler closing the game, […]

Adrian Peterson Turns In Another Solid Outing

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 99 yards on 24 carries against the Cowboys on Sunday. He has now missed the century mark by a combined four yards in his last two games. Peterson hasn't reached the endzone since Week 3, but the main thing for his fantasy investors to focus on is […]

Donte Moncrief Leads Team In Targets In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief led the team with 10 targets in Week 7 against the Texans, pulling down seven of them for 76 yards. But while it was an impressive performance for Moncrief, his inconsistent usage over the course of the season still makes him little more than a risky flex option on […]

T.J. Yeldon Catches Touchdown In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon struggled on the ground, carrying the ball 12 times for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans, but he continued to make things happen as a receiver, catching five balls for 40 yards and a touchdown. Yeldon's fantasy stock will depend a lot on how quickly the newly-acquired […]

Cody Kessler Throws For Touchdown In Week 7

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a change at quarterback during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, bringing Cody Kessler off the bench to replace the struggling Blake Bortles. Kessler wasn't great, but he did go 21-for-30 for 156 yards, tossing a touchdown to running back T.J. Yeldon while also throwing an interception. The Jaguars play the Eagles in […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Touchdown In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins only pulled in three of his eight targets in Sunday's win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Hopkins turned those three catches into 50 yards and a touchdown to still give fantasy owners solid production. Hopkins should play a bigger role in Thursday's meeting with the Dolphins and remains a […]

Jordan Reed's Fantasy Woes Continue In Week 7

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed was targeted just four times against the Cowboys on Sunday, hauling in two of those for 43 yards. This marks the second time in three games he's been targeted fewer than five times and caught fewer than three passes. Considering the injuries plaguing some of Washington's other receiving options, […]

Will Fuller Catches Six Passes Against Jaguars

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller didn't make the big plays he's become known for, but he did bounce back after a pair of poor performances to turn in a six-catch, 68-yard day in Houston's Week 7 win over Jacksonville. Though the Texans passing attack didn't get much going on Sunday, Fuller's usage helps assuage […]

Alex Smith Throws Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith continued a season in which he's been much better at managing actual football games than winning fantasy contests in Sunday's 20-17 triumph over the Cowboys. Smith's final line for the day was 14 completions on 25 pass attempts for 178 yards and a touchdown. It was the second straight game […]

Lamar Miller Has Big Week 7

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller finally looked like the back that many people had targeted in fantasy drafts during Houston's Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Miller ran for 100 yards on 22 carries with a touchdown. He also had one reception, but he lost a yard on it. Miller's 22 carries far […]

Dallas Goedert Catches Four Passes and Scores a Touchdown

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert caught four passes on Sunday, gaining 43 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was targeted five times. While Goedert's usage has varied wildly from game to game, he's done a lot with his opportunities when given the chance.

Deshaun Watson Doesn't Do Much In Week 7

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for just 139 yards in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson was 12-for-24 throwing the ball with a touchdown and no interceptions. He also added seven carries for 13 yards. The Jaguars defense managed to hold Watson relatively in check, and Houston's defense shut Jacksonville down enough that […]

Zach Ertz Catches Nine Passes in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught nine passes for 138 yards on Sunday. He was targeted 11 times. Ertz consistently embarrassed the Carolina defense and came about a yard from scoring a touchdown. He's a top-three tight end option whenever he takes the field.

Nelson Agholor Gains Just 20 Yards in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor only gained 20 yards on Sunday despite catching six passes. The Eagles tried to get Agholor the ball on quick passes, but the Carolina defense was consistently able to smother him as soon as he caught the ball. While the seven targets were nice to see, Agholor's inability to […]

Alshon Jeffery Scores Again in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught seven passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Jeffery looked completely dominant at times against the Carolina defense. He's been playing at an impressive level since returning from his shoulder injury and should continue to be one of the key pieces in the Eagles offense.

Wendell Smallwood Leads the Eagles Backfield in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood led the Eagles backfield with 11 touches, catching two passes for five yards and running the ball nine times for 32 yards. Corey Clement touched the ball 10 times, and with Darren Sproles expected back from a hamstring injury before long, the Eagles backfield is about to get even […]

Corey Clement Struggles in a Week 7 Loss

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement struggled to get anything going on Sunday, running the ball eight times for just six total yards. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. His 10 touches were one behind Wendell Smallwood's 11, and the Eagles backfield will likely get even messier once Darren Sproles returns from his […]

Carson Wentz Plays Well Despite an Eagles Loss

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played well on Sunday, completing 30 of his 37 pass attempts for 310 yards and two touchdowns. It looked like he was leading the Eagles to an easy win before the defense fell apart in the second half. Wentz has looked great for four weeks in a row and should […]

Matt Prater Hits Four Field Goals In Week 7

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater was perfect on all field-goal and extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. Prater nailed kicks from 29, 28, 35, and 50 yards out, and also hit both extra-point attempts. It was the first time Prater hit a 50 yarder since Week 12 of last season. After missing his […]
