Duke Johnson Sees Just Five Touches Against Saints

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson turned in another slow day at the office in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints.

Royce Freeman Scores First NFL Touchdown

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman found the end zone for the first time of his career Sunday in the Broncos 20-19 victory over the Raiders. The one-yard, goal-line plunge saved fantasy owners from what was otherwise a silent afternoon from the rookie back. Freeman finished with 28 yards on eight carries and the aforementioned […]

Carlos Hyde Salvages Afternoon With Short TD

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde struggled on the ground against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, gaining just 43 yards on 16 carries.

Andrew Luck Hot and Cold in Win

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 21 of 31 passes for 179 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 21-9 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Phillip Lindsay Records First 100-Yard Rushing Day of Career

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay rushed for 107 yards on 14 carries Sunday afternoon in Denver's 20-19 victory over the Raiders, becoming the first undrafted player in NFL history with 100-plus scrimmage yards in each of his first two games.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 22 of his 30 passes for 246 yards in his team's 21-18 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. Taylor also added a touchdown, an interception, and four rushes for 26 yards in the contest. Taylor didn't set the stat sheet on fire but he did enough […]

Rico Gathers Active On Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers is active in Week 2 against the Giants on Sunday night. Gathers was a healthy scratch in Week 1, but this time it'll be rookie Dalton Schultz inactive instead. While Gathers probably has the most upside of this tight end group, he'll be behind Geoff Swaim and Blake Jarwin […]

Case Keenum Disappoints Sunday

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum heated up late Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't quite enough to put up the fantasy numbers needed to justify a start this week. Keenum completed just 19 of 35 pass attempts for 222 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception, finishing with the day with 14.48 fantasy points. The Broncos receivers […]

LeSean McCoy Among Bills Players To Exit Game Early

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) was one of a few players unable to finish the game due to injury. McCoy suffered the injury when he took two shots to the midsection, one of them by a Los Angeles Chargers defender and the other was by teammate Ryan Groy when he fell on McCoy […]

Darius Slay Suffers Concussion In Week 2

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the 49ers and did not return to the contest. Detroit's lackluster defense would be way worse without their All-Pro cornerback on the field. You can stay far away from the Lions defense/special teams in fantasy leagues.

Trey Flowers, Patrick Chung Suffer Concussions Sunday

New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) and safety Patrick Chung (concussion) both left the game in Week 2 with concussions and didn't return. Chung was replaced by Duron Harmon. Flowers is a top IDP defensive end and could be in danger of missing a game or two. The same goes for Chung. If […]

Dan Bailey Waiting For Right Team

Free-agent place kicker Dan Bailey said he is waiting for the "right team" to sign, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source also said he has turned down four "very good offers." Vikings rookie Daniel Carlson missed three field goals in a tie in Week 2 against the Packers and could […]

Broncos Defense Struggles Against Oakland Sunday

After putting up six sacks in Week 1, linebacker Von Miller and company struggled to get any type of pressure on Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr on Sunday, sacking him just once in the game and finishing the day with zero fantasy points. Carr completed a robust 90.6 percent of his passes in this one (the […]

Greg Zuerlein Doesn't Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams place kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) was injured before the Week 2 game against the Cardinals and did not play. The Rams used running back Todd Gurley on two two-point conversions in the first half. Punter Johnny Hekker handled kickoffs and had a 20-yard field goal in the second quarter. It remains unclear […]

Phillip Dorsett Brings In Five Receptions in Week 2

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett caught five passes for 44 yards in the Patriots 31-20 loss to the Jaguars. This marks the second solid performance for Dorsett and is the clear-cut number two receiver right now in the Patriots passing attack. He has looked fluid in his routes and has been a nice […]

Cowboys Not Interested In Josh Gordon

The Dallas Cowboys are not interested in signing Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon if he is released on Monday, according to a source. Instead, the Cowboys plan on signing free-agent Brice Butler on Monday. It's saying something with Cole Beasley being the most targeted receiver in Week 1. Gordon has heaps of potential, but […]

Rex Burkhead Sees Only Six Touches In Week 2 Loss

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead carried the ball six times for only 22 yards in the Patriots Week 2 loss in Jacksonville. Burkhead was limited in practice this week because of a concussion and was not a guarantee to suit up. He did have a nice 12-yard run in the game but mostly […]

Jets Interested In Josh Gordon

The New York Jets are interested in Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, but they are just doing their due diligence. A trade of Brown to the Jets still appears unlikely. If a team doesn't trade for Gordon by Monday, the Browns are expected to release him. Gordon is a high-end wide receiver talent, but […]

Rob Gronkowski Totals Only 15 Yards Against Jaguars

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski caught only two passes for 15 yards in the Patriots 31-20 loss to the Jaguars. The Patriots struggled mightily moving the football in the first half and quarterback Tom Brady was forced to use running back James White often in the passing game. The Jaguars are one of […]

Larry Fitzgerald's Injury Is Minor

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald's (hamstring) injury is "minor." The team will re-evaluate him on Monday. Fitz had only three catches for 28 yards in the 34-0 drubbing at the hands of the Rams. The veteran wideout should be fine for next week, but with Arizona's offense looking […]

Chris Hogan Catches Two Touchdowns

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan caught three passes for 42 yards with two touchdowns in the Patriots Week 2 loss to the Jaguars. Hogan was up against one of the best secondaries in the league but made it count in the red zone. He sprung free for a seven-yard score in the third […]

Brandon McManus Hits Game-Winner Sunday

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus connected on a 36-yard field goal with six seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Broncos to a 20-19 victory over the Raiders on Sunday. Denver's offense struggled to get going against this Raiders defense all afternoon, but McManus hit on both of his field goal attempts (39, 36 yards) […]

James White Leads Team With Seven Receptions In Loss

New England Patriots running back James White caught seven passes for 73 yards and added 11 rushing yards in the Patriots 31-20 loss to the Jaguars. White enjoyed a very active second half as quarterback Tom Brady looked to him often to move the chains. The veteran running back will occasionally flash in games where […]

Dalvin Cook Dealt With Cramp In Overtime

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) said his hamstring issue late in the Week 2 game against the Packers was just a cramp. He should be fine for Week 3 against the Bills in an excellent matchup. Cook had 10 rushes for 38 yards and also caught three passes for 52 yards in the […]

Sony Michel Debuts With 41 Total Yards

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 10 times for 34 yards in his NFL debut in Week 2. Michel added one catch for seven yards and space to run was hard to come by against the vaunted Jaguars defense. The rookie led the Patriots in carries from the backfield but was […]

Tom Brady Held Down By Jags Defense

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 24 of 35 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots 31-20 loss to the Jaguars. The Patriots offense was held to three points in the first half and Brady struggled to work the ball downfield. Brady staged a mini-rally in the fourth quarter but a […]

Vontae Davis Retires During Game

In an oddity, Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis decided to retire at halftime of the Bills 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Davis, who was inactive for Week 1, started the game against the Chargers and recorded one tackle. The Bills defense surrendered 28 points, permitting the Chargers to 284 yards in […]

A.J. Derby Catches Touchdown In Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby caught one pass for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. Derby had only two targets in this one, but made his only catch count. With MarQueis Gray (achilles) out for the season Derby could emerge as the Dolphins number […]

Kenny Stills Only Catches Two Passes In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills caught two passes for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. This production is quite a letdown given his 106-yard, two touchdown performance in Week 1. That is the nature of a player like Stills, who epitomizes the term boom-or-bust. The Dolphins jumped […]

Deshaun Watson Has Solid Fantasy Day Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled at times in Sunday's loss to the Titans, but he managed to salvage a good fantasy day. Watson was 22-for-32 throwing the ball for 310 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Watson also added 44 rushing yards on five carries. Through two games, Watson hasn't looked like the electric […]
