Steelers D/ST Dominant In Win Over Falcons

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense held the Atlanta Falcons to 10 points while recording two sacks, a forced fumble, and two interceptions in a Week 1 win. Former Defensive Player of the Year T.J.

Chris Boswell Leads Steelers To Victory In Week 1

Tank Dell Sees Moderate Production Against Colts

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell finished with three catches on seven targets for 40 yards in Houston's 29-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Dell was the Texans […]

Pat Freiermuth Catches All Four Targets In Season Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth turned four targets into four catches for 27 yards in a Week 1 win against the Atlanta Falcons. His statistical output won't jump off the page but Freiermuth trailed only George Pickens in targets, receptions, and receiving yards for the Steelers on Sunday. With MyCole Pruitt and Darnell Washington […]

George Pickens Leads All Receivers In Win Over Falcons

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught six of seven targets for 85 yards and lost 10 yards on his lone rush attempt in an 18-10 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. There was no doubt that Pickens would operate as Pittsburgh's WR1 entering the season, but fantasy managers should be glad to see him succeed […]

Najee Harris Rushes For 70 Yards Against Falcons

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 20 carries for 70 yards and hauled in one of his two targets for nine yards in a Week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 156 yards and added 57 rushing yards on 14 carries in an 18-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons.

Jake Ferguson Exits Sunday's Game Against Cleveland, Questionable To Return

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) exited Sunday's matchup with the Cleveland Browns and was deemed questionable to return. If Ferguson doesn't make it back in Week 1, he'll finish the day by catching three balls for 15 yards. With that said, there should be an update on his left knee soon, although further […]

Joshua Palmer Ejected In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was ejected from Sunday's matchup with the Raiders. Both teams were involved in a scuffle during the fourth quarter. However, Palmer and Jack Jones were the players who got the boot. Palmer finished the game by catching two of his four targets for 15 yards. While he'll likely […]

David Njoku Suffers Ankle Injury, Questionable To Return

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) exited Sunday's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. He's questionable to return. However, considering he needed assistance to the locker room, fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if he doesn't make it back for the remainder of Week 1. If that's the case, he'll finish with four catches for 44 […]

Alvin Kamara Not Worried About A New Contract

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara looked good in Sunday's decisive win over the Panthers. The veteran ran the ball 15 times, accumulating 83 yards and a touchdown. He also got involved on the receiving end, catching all five targets for 27 yards. Kamara and the Saints had contract discussions over the last few […]

Ja'Lynn Polk Targeted Just Once Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk hauled in his lone target for a gain of six yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Demario Douglas Quiet In Season Opener

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught two of his three targets for just 12 yards during Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Douglas finished fifth on the team in terms of receiving yards and tied for third in targets. It's an interesting and noteworthy outcome given that Douglas was expected to be Jacoby […]

K.J. Osborn Is Jacoby Brissett's Favorite Target Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn led the team with three receptions on six targets during Week 1 versus the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished the game with a total of 21 receiving yards.

Tyquan Thornton Totals 27 Yards Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton caught two of three targets for 27 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. His 17-yard reception tied the Patriots' longest gain from scrimmage. Although it was a promising performance from the young receiver, he can't be trusted in fantasy football going forward. For starters, […]

Hunter Henry Catches Two Passes In Week 1 Win

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of his three targets for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He continues to give the Patriots a reliable veteran presence at tight end, and while his fantasy production is somewhat dependent on touchdowns, he's still a solid bench option in […]

Josh Allen Likely To Get An X-Ray

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) was injured during Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The signal-caller injured his left hand. However, he didn't seem too concerned, although he will likely get an X-ray as a precaution. Despite the ailment, Allen had had a solid game, throwing for 232 yards and two touchdowns off 18-for-23 […]

Austin Hooper Leads Patriots In Receiving Yards Sunday

New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught two of his four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran finished led the Patriots in receiving yards, but this level of production isn't enough to put him on the fantasy radar going forward, especially since he remains behind […]

Jacoby Brissett Plays Turnover-Free Football In Win

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 121 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed seven times for an additional 32 yards on the ground. On one hand, the Patriots' offense went run-heavy, giving Brissett very little fantasy value. […]

Antonio Gibson Inefficient In Week 1

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed seven times for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He did not command a target in the passing game. Unsurprisingly, Gibson played behind Rhamondre Stevenson and was far less efficient than the workhorse back. What's peculiar, though, is that Gibson didn't get […]

Jordan Addison's Ankle Injury "Not Believed" To Be Serious

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) isn't believed to have suffered a significant injury, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. The wideout injured his left ankle during training camp. However, he tweaked his right ankle in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Of course, fantasy managers will know more when the […]

Jaylen Waddle Rips Off Long Gain Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle hauled in all five of his targets for 108 yards in Sunday's 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tyreek Hill Saves Day With Long TD

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught seven of 12 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Fins' 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cheetah got himself into trouble before the game even started, as it was reported police temporarily detained him in a traffic incident just one block away from Hard Rock […]

Will Reichard Drills Four Extra Points In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard was perfect 4-for-4 in extra-point attempts Sunday’s 28-6 win over the New York Giants. The Vikings were fairly effective at moving the ball against the Giants' defense, though that movement resulted in no field goal attempts for Reichard. The rookie kicker nailed all four of his extra points, although fantasy […]

George Fant Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 1

Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The situation certainly didn't look good, as the veteran couldn't put weight on his leg. He also needed assistance to the locker room. Fant, who signed with the team in March, was brought in to bolster an offensive line that […]

Raheem Mostert Inefficient Against Jags

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed six times for nine yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He added two receptions for ten yards on three targets. Oof.

Minnesota Vikings D/ST Rewards With Incredible Defensive Output
