Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught six of his 11 targets for 69 yards in a 12-9 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. The big tight end either led or tied for the team lead in all three categories in what goes down as his best game of the young season. […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Looks Impressive For Packers

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was in a position to get plenty of playing time with Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) both inactive for the Week 5 contest against the Detroit Lions. He looked to be nervous to start the game, but he quickly shook it off and had a nice […]

Geoff Swaim Leads the Cowboys in Receiving in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim caught three passes on Sunday night, gaining 55 yards. The 55 yards were the most by any Dallas player, and the three catches were only behind Ezekiel Elliott.

Jimmy Graham Solid Despite Missed Opportunities

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham didn't look that great in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions despite having 76 receiving yards. The problem for Graham was that he only caught six of his 11 targets. He made some nice plays, but Aaron Rodgers needs him to catch more than that. Graham also had […]

Cole Beasley Only Catches One Pass in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining eight yards. Beasley only showed up on the stat sheet because the game went into overtime.

Michael Gallup Gains Just Six Yards in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining six yards. He was targeted three times but did nothing, much like the rest of the Dallas offense. It's been a disappointing season so far for the promising rookie, and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon. He's […]

Morris took over as the Niners primary back after Matt Breida (ankle) exited in the first half, but averaged just a mediocre 3.4 yards per carry. He was also […]

Davante Adams Has A Monster Performance

Adams caught nine of his 12 targets for 140 yards and […]

Vance McDonald Slowed In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald turned in a slow performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. McDonald caught just one pass for six yards in the game.

Mason Crosby Has An Awful Showing

Green Bay Packers veteran kicker Mason Crosby had a day to forget Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Crosby left 13 points on the field as he missed four field goals and an extra point. The Packers lost by 11 points, so the poor performance was very crucial in the loss against the division rival Lions. […]

Jared Cook Has Modest Production In Loss

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook had a slower day in terms of production against the Chargers this Sunday.
