Julio Jones Has Quieter Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a much quieter game than the season opener against the Carolina Panthers Sunday. Jones caught five balls for 64 yards and once again failed to find the end zone. For Jones' fantasy owners this will feel like a disappointing week but the positive side is that Jones still […]

Ito Smith Shines In First Regular Season Opportunity

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith grabbed his first opportunity in a regular season game and ran with it on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons rookie running back rushed the ball nine times for 46 yards, adding an eight yard reception on his only target. Smith demonstrated that he has the potential to […]

Tevin Coleman Has A Good Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman took full advantage of his opportunity to be the lead running back on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Coleman rushed the ball 16 times for 107 yards, including a longest rush of 36 yards. Coleman added four receptions for 18 yards but unfortunately failed to find the end zone […]

Matt Ryan Has A Bounce-Back Performance Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan bounced back in a big way on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Coming off a bad performance in the season opener, Ryan completed 23-of-28 passes for 272 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Ryan also added two rushing touchdowns, including one where he shrugged off some hits to find […]

Michael Gallup Only Catches One Pass in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup was only able to catch one pass on Sunday, gaining five yards. After being looked at as potentially "the only Dallas wide receiver worth owning" before the season began, Gallup has disappointed in two straight weeks to open up the season. While he still may have some lasting […]

Allen Hurns Catches Just One Pass Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns caught only one pass in Week 2, after catching just one pass in Week 1 as well. Hurns gained nine yards in this one. After being talked about as a potential WR1 in the preseason, Hurns is now on pace for 16 catches this season. He cannot be started […]

Ezekiel Elliott Operates as the Dallas Offense in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was essentially the entire Dallas offense on Sunday night, running the ball 17 times for 78 yards and a touchdown and adding five catches for nine yards. His fourth quarter touchdown made his fantasy night worth it, but his heavy usage was encouraging going forward despite the overall struggles […]

Dak Prescott Doesn't Do Much Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 16 of 25 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the New York Giants. He also ran the ball seven times for another 45 yards. Prescott hasn't looked great in either of the first two games this season, playing more as a game manager than […]

Mike Williams Shows Off In Limited Use

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams may not be a household name yet, but his limited appearances make it look like it's just a matter of time. Williams snagged his first career touchdown this week in Buffalo, and it was a beauty that required a perfect throw, a leaping grab, and the strength to […]

Dallas Goedert Does Nothing in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert did not catch a single pass in Week 2. He was amazing all preseason and made a lot of people excited, but he has not done much in the first two weeks of the real season. Goedert has all the talent to succeed, but he played behind Josh […]

Austin Ekeler Sets Career High In Rushing Yards

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was tasked with keeping the Chargers in the lead in the second half of the team's Week 2 game in Buffalo, and he did so with ease. Ekeler carried the ball 11 times for 77 yards, posting another sky-high YPC that reminds fans that LA's rushing game is […]

Zach Ertz Leads the Eagles in Targets in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz led the Eagles in targets in Week 2, catching 11 of 13 for 94 yards. Any time Nick Foles is the quarterback, Ertz is a safe bet to be in double-digits in terms of targets. There's a chance Carson Wentz (knee) will return next week, and while Wentz may […]

George Kittle Held in Check

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught just two passes for 22 yards versus the Detroit Lions in Week 2. It was a disappointing performance for the second-year tight end, as he was unable to build off of his 90-yard performance from a week ago. Jimmy Garoppolo did a nice job in spreading the […]

Corey Clement Takes Advantage of His Opportunity in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement took advantage of his opportunity in Week 2, running the ball six times for 30 yards and catching five passes for 55 yards. With Darren Sproles inactive and Jay Ajayi missing almost the whole first half with a back injury, Clement got a chance to show off a bit […]

Philip Rivers Dominates Buffalo

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed 85% of his passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 2 win over Buffalo. Rivers tossed a pair of touchdowns in the first half to talented running back Melvin Gordon and a third to second-year wideout Mike Williams to put the game away. Rivers showed […]

Donte Moncrief Leads Team In Targets In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief finished Week 1 with just one catch on five targets, but quarterback Blake Bortles looked his way more often in the team's Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. Moncrief caught four of his team-high nine targets, finishing with 34 yards and a touchdown. That Moncrief has now […]

Jay Ajayi Battles Through an Injury in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi battled through a back injury to rush seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown, adding a four-yard catch. Ajayi missed almost the entire first half, but was more involved in the second half. The touchdown saved what would have been a dud of a fantasy day. He's definitely […]

Nelson Agholor Sees Double-Digit Targets Again

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor drew 12 targets on Sunday, catching eight of them for 95 yards and a touchdown. He has now drawn more than 10 targets for both of the first two weeks of the season. Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is expected to miss at least one more game, and Carson Wentz (knee) […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Finds End Zone

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 2 win over New England. Seferian-Jenkins, who also had three catches in Week 1, doesn't appear to a major threat in Jacksonville's passing game from a yardage perspective, but he does give the team a big […]

Dante Pettis Has Quiet Performance

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis caught just one pass in Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions. The rookie receiver was targeted just twice, despite the absence of Marquise Goodwin. Pettis has shown some flashes of brilliance, but overall needs some time to develop into a starting caliber NFL player. The 22-year-old is not […]

Melvin Gordon Carries The Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was one of the stars of the fantasy world on Sunday as he found the end zone three times in LA's win over the Bills. Gordon's yardage total wasn't terribly impressive as he only racked up 28 on the ground and 38 through the air, but his ability […]

Nick Foles Exceeds Expectations in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exceeded expectations in Week 2, throwing for 334 yards and a touchdown, completing 35 of his 48 passes. Foles ended up with decent looking numbers, but he did struggle a bit on the field, taking six sacks and taking a while to get things going against a bad Tampa Bay […]

Dede Westbrook Catches Touchdown Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught four passes for 83 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. Westbrook's 61-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter helped the Jaguars ice the game and showed off his ability to gain yards after the catch. The bad news from this outing? […]

Pierre Garcon Leads Team in Receiving in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon led the team with four receptions for 57 yards in Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions. It was a mediocre fantasy display, considering the increased opportunity with Marquise Goodwin sitting out due to a thigh injury. Garcon could be worth a flex play in occasional matchups in PPR […]

Alfred Morris Totals 80 Yards in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris carried the ball 14 times for 48 yards on Sunday, while adding two receptions for 32 yards through the air. Morris out-touched Matt Breida 16 to 14, but was far less efficient with the ball in his hands. It would not be surprising to see the 49ers increase […]

Matt Breida Shines in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida totaled 159 yards, despite only touching the ball 14 times in Week 2. The second-year pro displayed a nice combo of speed and elusiveness, while severely outplaying Alfred Morris. His 24.9 fantasy points in PPR formats was also the fourth most at his position on Sunday. Breida could […]

Keelan Cole A Highlight In Week 2 Victory

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole made plenty of highlight reels after a one-handed catch against the Patriots, but that wasn't the only good moment from the second-year receiver. Cole caught seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the victory, establishing himself as Jacksonville's most dangerous receiver. He'll look to deliver similar results […]

Corey Grant Contributes As Receiver In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant was a non-factor in Week 1, but with starting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing Week 2's meeting with New England, the Jaguars turned to Grant to help move the ball. Grant carried the ball four times for 13 yards, but his main contribution was in the receiving game, […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Has Mediocre Outing

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18 of 26 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions. It was another underwhelming fantasy performance for the 49ers signal-caller, especially given the favorable matchup. Garoppolo will look to bounce back in a potential shootout next week against the Kansas City […]

T.J. Yeldon Leads Jaguars In Rushing In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon was pressed into action in Week 2 after starting running back Leonard Fournette was ruled out before the game with a hamstring issue. Yeldon responded with 58 rushing yards on 10 attempts, as well as 13 receiving yards on two catches. It wasn't a great performance from Yeldon, but […]
