Eli Manning Under Siege In Week 2 Loss

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 33 of 44 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown in the Giants 20-13 loss to the Cowboys. Manning was sacked six times as the Cowboys defense controlled most of this game. The veteran quarterback was able to pump up his fantasy stats with a late touchdown pass […]

Jared Goff Impressive In Win Over Cardinals

The Los Angeles Rams defense was elite in a shutout win over the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Jared Goff wasn't too shabby either. He threw for 354 yards with a touchdown with one interception. The Rams offense should be among the best in the NFL, which makes Goff a good option each week. He has three […]

Zay Jones Finally Getting It?

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones caught two of three targets for 63 yards, which included a career-long 57-yard completion, in Week 2's 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones struggled mightily as a rookie last season as he had a case of the dropsies. The second-round draft pick was only able to reel […]

Kenny Golladay Impressive In Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay caught six of nine targets for 89 yards and a score in a 30-27 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Matthew Stafford connected with Golladay in the first quarter from 30 yards out, giving the Lions the 7-3 lead. The score marked Golladay's first touchdown since Week 14 of […]

Texans Barely Use Tight Ends In Week 2

If fantasy owners were hoping to see one of Houston's three tight ends emerge as a potential fantasy sleeper, they'll need to keep waiting as the tight end usage in Week 2 didn't suggest that any player is distinguishing himself from the pack. Jordan Akins caught both of his targets for 21 yards, Ryan Griffin […]

Brandin Cooks Lights It Up In Week 2

The Los Angeles Rams added burner wide receiver Brandin Cooks this offseason in a trade with the New England Patriots. He showed his value in a big way this week against the Arizona Cardinals. He finished with seven catches for 159 yards on nine targets. The Rams offense is centered around three wide receivers and running […]

Bruce Ellington Targeted Just Three Times

Houston Texans wide receiver Bruce Ellington hauled in all three of his targets for 45 yards in Houston's Week 2 loss to Tennessee, but Will Fuller's return from a hamstring injury that held him out of the season opener caused a drop in Ellington's usage. It's becoming clear that the Deshaun Watson-led Texans offense can't […]

Jordan Wilkins Looks Good In Week 2

After an unexciting rookie debut against the Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins put on a decent showing against the Washington Redskins. While he still has a little ways to go with receiving, he has averaged 6.1 yards per carry. While he and Marlon Mack split carries, he was clearly the lead running […]

DeAndre Hopkins Impressive Against Titans

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught six of his 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Titans, finishing with 110 yards and a touchdown. With fellow wide receiver Will Fuller back in the lineup after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury, Houston's passing game opened up, allowing Hopkins to put up numbers that […]

Taywan Taylor Catches Touchdown In Week 2 Win

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor caught three of his four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. Taylor continues to impress with the ball in his hands, as he made multiple defenders miss on the way to his 18-yard touchdown off of a screen. The […]

Amari Cooper Has Massive Bounce-Back Game

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper posted a massive stat line, but it was all for nothing as they fell to the Broncos 20-19. Cooper was held to only one catch in Week 1 but turned things around in a big way, with 10 receptions for 116 yards on 10 targets. In what was set […]

Corey Davis Catches Five Passes In Win

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis had a rather quiet day statistically, turning his seven targets into five receptions for 55 yards. While his stats do not stand out, he did catch five of Blaine Gabbert's 13 completions and easily led the team in targets for the day. The Titans elected to go with a […]

Will Fuller Impressive In Return

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller missed the team's Week 1 loss while dealing with hamstring issues and was questionable up until game day this week, but Fuller shrugged off any concerns about his health on Sunday, catching eight passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. It was Fuller's first trip to the end zone […]

Dion Lewis Less Effective In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was not nearly as effective against the Houston Texans as he was in Week 1, totaling 15 touches for just 43 yards. The Titans offense as a whole struggled on the day without three offensive linemen and quarterback Marcus Mariota. It is evident the team wanted to grind the […]

Jalen Richard Does Nothing In Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard was invisible in their Week 2 loss against the Broncos. Richard finished with just two carries for three yards and no receptions in the passing game. This was coming off a Week 1 game where he had nine receptions for 55 yards. When the game script has the Raiders […]

Doug Martin Posts Average Numbers In Loss

Oakland Raiders backup running back Doug Martin finished with limited numbers in Sunday's loss versus the Broncos. Martin had 24 yards on seven attempts with no touchdowns. He ended with more rushing yards this week compared to Week 1, but he had better yards per carry in the first game. Martin remains a very fringe […]

Marshawn Lynch Has Another Touchdown In Losing Effort

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch had a touchdown in a second straight game, but it wasn't enough to help the team to a victory. He ended with 65 yards on 18 attempts with one touchdown, along with two catches in the passing game. Lynch has now seen double-digit carries in each of the Raiders […]

Derek Carr Has Impressive Game, But Raiders Fall Short

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr posted a very impressive stat line, but it wasn't enough as they lost to the Broncos 20-19. Carr ended with 288 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions on 29-for-32 passing. It ended up being an average fantasy game for Carr, but this is now two straight weeks to start the season […]

Golden Tate Breaks Century Mark Against 49ers

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate led the receiving corps in targets (13), receptions (seven) and yards (109) despite not finding the end zone in a 30-27 loss on Sunday. Detroit trailed by 17 in the fourth quarter and Matthew Stafford confided in Tate to make plays, targeting the receiver five times in the fourth […]

Derrick Henry More Involved In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was more involved in the Week 2 win against the Houston Texans than he was a week ago, toting the ball 18 times for 56 yards. While his production was not very impressive, it is important to remember that the Titans were without three offensive linemen and their starting […]

Blaine Gabbert Throws A Touchdown In Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert was not asked to do much from the coaching staff in Week 2 against the Houston Texans, but he did just enough to secure a win for the injury-riddled Titans. Gabbert finished 13-for-20 for 117 yards and a touchdown. More importantly, Gabbert did not turn the football over one time. […]

Alfred Blue Continues To See Carries

Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue saw one-third of Houston's running back carries in Sunday's loss to the Titans, finishing with 36 yards on seven carries. He was not targeted in the passing game. This comes a week after Blue rushed five times against New England for 36 yards and a touchdown. With D'Onta Foreman […]

Vance McDonald Quiet In Return To Lineup

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald turned in a quiet performance in his return to the lineup following a foot injury. McDonald, who missed most of the preseason and Week 1 due to his injury, caught just three passes for 26 yards in his team's 42-37 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Fellow tight end […]

Jesse James Goes Off For 138 Yards And A TD

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jesse James turned in one of the more surprising Week 2 performances, catching five passes for 138 yards and a touchdown in his team's 42-37 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. James was expected to take a backseat with Vance McDonald returning from injury. Instead, he went ahead and set a […]

Lamar Miller Solid In Week 2

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller didn't have the flashiest day in Houston's Week 2 loss to the Titans, but he did gain 68 rushing yards on 14 carries to go along with two yards on two receptions. While it wasn't Miller's best football, he still averaged 4.9 yards per carry and showed that he […]

James Conner Slowed By Chiefs In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner was unable to replicate his Week 1 dominance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. Conner picked up just 17 rushing yards on eight carries but he did find the end zone and tacked on five catches for 48 yards in the passing game. The slow game can […]

Ben Roethlisberger Tosses Three TDs In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger bounced back from a disappointing Week 1 outing to throw for 452 yards and three touchdowns while adding another rushing score against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Steelers wound up losing to Kansas City in a shootout but Roethlisberger did his part to keep his team close in the contest. […]

Courtland Sutton Quiet Once Again

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton caught one pass for nine yards Sunday as the Broncos defeated the Raiders 20-19. It's been a slow start for the highly-touted sleeper prospect, but Sutton has now seen at least five targets in each of the Broncos first two games and was determined out of bounds after review […]

Todd Gurley Scores Three TDs Before Leaving With Cramps

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley left the game in Week 2 against the Cardinals with some cramping and didn't return in a 34-0 blowout win. He had just 73 total yards on the day and wasn't very effective on the ground (2.2 yards per carry), but he saved his fantasy owners with three […]

Zane Gonzalez Disappoints In Week 2

Cleveland Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez disappointed many fans when he missed a potential game-winning field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He went and outdid himself in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, missing two of four field goals and both of his extra point chances. Gonzalez's second missed field goal would […]
