Travis Benjamin Just Misses Out On Heroics

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin had a step on two defenders with two minutes left and the team trailing by seven points, but he couldn't hold on to the throw that hit him in both hands. Quarterback Philip Rivers had laid it out in the perfect spot where only Benjamin could reach it, […]

Mike Williams Tallies 45 Yards In Loss

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams caught three passes for 45 yards on Sunday, including a critical one to give the team a chance to tie the game right at the end.

Keenan Allen Sets Career-High In Loss

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had the best game of his career on Sunday against the Texans as he amassed a whopping 183 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Justin Jackson Gets More Chances

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson got a few more chances on Sunday in the passing game, but he did nothing with them. Jackson was thrown four passes this week while he hadn't been thrown more than a single one in either of the other two games this year, but he totaled a whopping […]

Austin Ekeler Gets Left In The Background

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was a bit of a non-factor in Sunday's game against the Texans. Though he made a couple nice pick-ups on key third downs, he also got stopped short on a couple important downs and only touched the ball 16 times all game. Just nine carries on the ground […]

Aaron Donald Comes Alive For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had four tackles (three solo) and his first sack of the season in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. Donald started out slowly the first two weeks, but he delivered in this affair. He has another positive outlook against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. He's worth […]

Gerald Everett Kept In Check

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett had just two catches for 15 yards in Week 3. Those were the only two targets he saw filling in for Tyler Higbee (lung). Everett isn't worth consideration against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week in traditional leagues.

Malcolm Brown Does Little

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed just three times for seven yards in Week 3. It was a tough day overall for the running game as the team rushed 24 times to 38 pass attempts. Brown has done little in the last two games after a two-touchdown opener. He has a tough matchup […]

Todd Gurley Ineffective

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 14 times for 43 yards in a quiet Week 3 outing against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted once through the air, but he had no completions. He'll have a tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. The Bucs have been among the stingiest defenses […]

John Means Pitches Deep In Win Sunday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means improved to 11-11 in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Mariners. Means pitched seven innings, allowing a single run on seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts.

Chad Beebe Carted To Locker Room

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe (ankle) was carted to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders. Beebe didn't have a target in the contest.

Philip Rivers Puts Up Big Numbers In Loss

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed 31 passes for 318 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday as the Chargers fell to the Houston Texans.

Minnesota Vikings Defense Puts Up Four Sacks

The Minnesota Vikings Defense shut down the Oakland Raiders en route to a 34-14 win at home in Week 3. They picked up four sacks and an interception, though they also gave up a garbage-time touchdown with two minutes left and fantasy managers probably wanted a few more turnovers in this favorable matchup. Start the […]

Austin Seibert Nails Both Field Goal Attempts Against LA

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert hit both of his field goals in a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. He also tacked on an extra point. The rookie kicker had a shaky preseason but he has settled down now that the games count. Seibert has hit all five of his field-goal […]

Alexander Mattison Notches First Career Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison rushed 12 times for 58 yards (4.8 YPC) and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders. His first NFL touchdown came on an impressive 10-yard run in the third quarter, and Mattison has proven to be a rock-solid backup to starter Dalvin Cook through three […]

Browns Defense Plays Well in Loss to Rams

The Cleveland Browns Defense played well in a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. Cleveland racked up two sacks while forcing three turnovers in the loss. The performance was all the more impressive considering that the team was without both of their starting cornerbacks in Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams and […]

The Chicago Bears have not been very impressive through two weeks, especially offensively, and yet they are road favorites at Washington in the Monday nighter.

Ronald Jones II Leads Bucs Backfield In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II totaled 80 yards on 14 carries while adding an additional 41 yards on one reception to lead the Bucs backfield in Week 3.

O.J. Howard Underwhelms Again

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has been searching for a spark this season. He hadn't provided anything useful to fantasy owners through two games. This week was supposed to be a real chance to get back on track against the friendly Giants Defense. It wasn't, he barely escaped with three receptions for 66 […]

Odell Beckham Jr Held in Check by Rams

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr caught six of his 10 targets for 56 yards in a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.

Denver Broncos Defense Continues To Disappoint

Denver Broncos Defense has had a disappointing start to the season that continued in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers offense.

49ers Defense Leads Team To Undefeated Start

The San Francisco 49ers Defense showed up in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, helping the team remain undefeated.

Aside from a 76-yard touchdown catch-and-run by Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, the […]
