Dustin Hopkins Converts One Of Two Field Goal Attempts

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins made one of his two field goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in a 24-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

He split early-down work with Rhamondre Stevenson but received one carry than his teammate. The 25-year-old will get most of the goal line work, but […]

Kenny Golladay Quiet In Week 1 Win

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay was limited to only two receptions for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. The veteran wide receiver was reported to be struggling this offseason, especially with the Giants having a new offensive scheme under Brian Daboll. Golladay saw a majority of the offensive snaps […]

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney didn't see the field much in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans as he carried the ball two times for 23 yards.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made all three of his field goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. Joseph hit from 29, 56, and 28 in this one, putting on a perfect performance to open the season. The 28-year-old looks like a reliable starting option for fantasy […]

Austin Hooper Catches One Pass In Loss

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught one-of-two targets in the loss to the New York Giants and posted just six yards. It was a rough Titans debut for Hooper and Robert Woods, so it's worth monitoring if they can build chemistry with Ryan Tannehill. For now, Hooper shouldn't be considered in fantasy lineups. Until […]

Sterling Shepard Leads Giants With 71 Receiving Yards In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard led all wide receivers on the Giants with 71 receiving yards and a touchdown on two receptions. The veteran wideout spent the offseason rehabbing from an Achilles injury he suffered last season, but he was able to join the starting offense in Week 1. Even though the Giants […]

Mike Williams Has Quiet Week 1 Showing

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams finished with just two receptions for 10 yards on four targets in the team's Week 1 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Vikings Defense Records Four Sacks And A Forced Fumble

Za'Darius Smith got in on the action against his former team as he recorded one sack and a tackle for loss in this one. The Vikings defensive unit looked […]

Kyle Philips Leads Titans In Targets

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips drew nine targets in the loss to the New York Giants, catching six of them for 66 yards. He led the team by four targets and posted a 27-percent target share. He should immediately be on the fantasy radar, at least in PPR leagues. He obviously has early chemistry […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Catches Four Passes In Chiefs Debut

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling opened his KC career on Sunday with four receptions for 44 yards in a 44-21 win over the Cardinals. The former Packer is best known for being a deep threat in Green Bay, but that wasn't how the Chiefs ended up using him on Sunday. MVS was third […]

Minnesota Vikings tight end Johnny Mundt caught three passes for 17 yards in the team's Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers. Irv Smith Jr. was held to zero receptions on just two targets.

Mecole Hardman Finds End Zone

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman found the end zone in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Cardinals, finishing with three catches for 16 yards.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks finished second on the team with five targets, catching three of them for 55 yards. He was targeted once deep, drawing a pass interference call, and was also targeted in the end zone.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Targeted Eight Times

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster appears to have the early lead for the No. 1 receiver role in KC based on Sunday's win over the Cardinals. He led the team's wideouts in targets with eight, hauling in six of them for 79 yards. The breakdown of how passes would be spread out in […]

Saquon Barkley Pops Off For 194 Total Yards

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley erupted for 164 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown while also recording six receptions for 30 yards in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler handled 14 carries for 36 yards, adding four receptions for 36 yards on four targets in the team's Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Robert Woods Sees Two Targets In Loss

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw just two targets against the Giants, good for fifth on the Tennessee offense. He scored just 2.3 fantasy points in PPR leagues on one catch for 13 yards. This is a concerning development considering he was expected to be the clear No. 1 in the Ryan Tannehill offense. […]

Travis Kelce Comes Up Big

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce set a new record for 100-yard receiving games for a TE in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, finishing with 121 yards on eight catches. Kelce caught one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' five touchdowns. With Tyreek Hill now in Miami, the always-important Kelce is even more crucial to KC's […]

Wil Lutz Makes Two Field Goals Against The Falcons

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made two-of-three field goal attempts in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, including the game-winner with 19 seconds left.
