Nelson Agholor Primed For A Big Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor has been all over the field this season and has been pretty productive.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jesse James is coming off a career day in Week 2. James finished with five catches for 138 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Duke Johnson Hoping To Be More Involved In Week 3

Matt Bryant In Line For Another Solid Day Sunday

Austin Hooper Once Again A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will likely once again be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints.

Julio Jones Should Bounce Back Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has the potential for a bounce-back game in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints.

Darius Leonard Should Be Starting In IDP Leagues

After his 18-tackle performance in Week 2, Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard has burst onto the linebacker scene. While playing on an average defense, Leonard will be the leading playmaker in the middle of the defense. His athleticism allows him to fly all around the field. While IDP leagues are less common, a linebacker with […]

Robert Woods Leads Team In Targets

Through two games, the Los Angeles Rams leading receiver in yardage is Brandin Cooks. However, the leading receiver in targets is Robert Woods. Woods spends the majority of his time closer to the line of scrimmage, which makes him a frequent read for quarterback Jared Goff. Goff has a good arm, but he lacks the […]

Bills Promote Ryan Lewis

The Buffalo Bills promoted cornerback Ryan Lewis to their 53-man roster.
