Sammy Watkins Targeted 13 Times Versus Oakland

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins jumped into the No. 1 receiver spot for the team in Week 2, but unfortunately disappointed fantasy owners. Watkins was targeted 13 times, but only caught six passes for 49 yards and was unable to find the end zone. He had a huge three touchdown game in Week […]

Dion Lewis Not Involved In Offense In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis does not seem to have much of a role on the team's 2019 offense thus far. Lewis rushed three times for nine yards and caught his lone target in their 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Despite trailing in the fourth quarter, Lewis was still not utilized much by […]

Derrick Henry With Another Strong Performance

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had another strong game in Week 2, rushing 15 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and adding two catches for 12 yards. Surprisingly, the Titans seemed to use Henry less as the game went on despite his success on the ground. Henry's usage and touchdown upside will continue […]

Sandy Alcantara (SP, MIA) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Only three pitchers in baseball have thrown two shutouts in 2019; Shane Bieber, Lucas Giolito...and Sandy Alcantara of the cellar-dwelling Miami Marlins. With a record of 5-13, it's obviously been a bumpy year for the 24-year-old right-hander and he now has a 3.93 ERA in […]

Bears Defense Survives Mile High Thriller

The Chicago Bears Defense put forth an excellent effort but barely survived as the offense rallied with :31 left to beat the Broncos 16-14. The defense held the Broncos offense in check most of the game but things got interesting the second half. The Bears offense struggled to sustain drives and the high altitude began […]

Marcus Mariota Fails To Deliver In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 19 of 28 attempts for just 154 yards and one touchdown in the team's 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota did add five rushes for 32 yards on the ground, but he appeared to be more timid in the passing game than we saw a week ago in […]

Damien Williams is Held in Check by Oakland

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) was unable to get anything going on the ground against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. He rushed nine times for eight yards and added three receptions for 48 yards through the air. Both Williams and LeSean McCoy struggled to get anything going in the ground game. […]

Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Both Hurt Sunday Night

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) were both injured on Sunday night in Week 2 against the Falcons and are questionable to return. Tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) also left and is questionable to return. It has predictably affected quarterback Carson Wentz's performance, as he's just 4-for-9 for 37 yards […]

Eddy Pineiro Hits 53-Yard Game-Winner

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro went 3-for-3 on his field-goal attempts, including hitting a 53-yard strike with a second left in the game to beat the Broncos 16-14. Much has been made in the offseason about the Bears kicking problems, but on this day the kicker saved the game for them. Pineiro also connected from […]

Stefon Diggs Hauls In 45-Yard Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught just one of his seven targets for a 49-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Though Diggs saw plenty of targets, Kirk Cousins was abysmal all afternoon and the pair were unable to get anything else going on the road against the Packers Defense. Diggs caught another touchdown in […]

Drew Brees To See Hand Specialist

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (hand) will be examined by a hand specialist in Los Angeles on Sunday night after leaving the Week 2 game early in the first quarter against the Rams. Brees' right thumb collided with defensive tackle Aaron Donald's hand, and the future Hall of Fame quarterback couldn't even grip a […]

Ben Braunecker Records 24 Receiving Yards In Week 2

Chicago Bears tight end Ben Braunecker caught two passes for 24 yards in the team's 16-14 win over the Broncos in Week 2. With the Bears scaling down their offensive game plan and starter Trey Burton playing limited snaps, Braunecker came through with some key catches. When 100%, Burton is the unquestioned starter. But that […]

Redskins Defense Outmatched By Cowboys

The Washington Redskins Defense didn't have an answer for the Cowboys on Sunday. They did pick off Dak Prescott once, but they only got to him for one sack and allowed him to complete 86.7% of his passes. Prescott launched three touchdowns, and Ezekiel Elliott rumbled for 111 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a […]

Anthony Miller A Non-Factor In Win

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller once again was not heavily featured in the Bears offensive game plan as the team came from behind to beat the Broncos 16-14. Miller made only one catch, a quick pass, that went for only two yards as his snaps were limited for the second straight game. Miller has […]

Trey Burton Catches Two Passes In Season Debut

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton caught only two passes for five yards in the Bears gritty, come-from-behind win over the Broncos 16-14. Burton has missed most of training camp plus the first game of the season recovering from sports hernia surgery and a groin injury. Burton did not fill up the box score, but […]

LeSean McCoy Struggles on the Ground in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy wasn't able to get anything going on the ground during Sunday's Week 2 victory over the Oakland Raiders. McCoy totaled 81 yards on the ground during Week 1, but it wasn't the same result here. He rushed 11 times for 23 yards and caught three passes for zero […]

Dallas Goedert Questionable To Return Sunday Night

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) is listed as questionable to return in Week 2 on Sunday night against the Falcons due to a calf injury. Goedert wasn't targeted before leaving the game. As long as Zach Ertz is healthy, Goedert is nothing more than a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 in this offense. If he […]

Trey Quinn Doesn't Capitalize On Volume In Loss

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn saw another PPR-friendly target share in Sunday's loss, but for the second week in a row, failed to total 40 yards receiving. A touchdown salvaged his four-catch, 33-yard outing in Week 1, but he didn't score on Sunday in a similarly pedestrian four-catch, 36-yard performance. His 13 targets after […]

Kirk Cousins Totals Three Turnovers In Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had a brutal game on Sunday, completing 14 of 32 passes (44%) for 230 yards, one passing touchdown and two interceptions on the day. Cousins also fumbled twice (losing one) and appeared rattled all game with terrible decisions and wild overthrows and underthrows serving as the norm for the eighth-year […]

Mike Davis Tallies Only One Yard Against Broncos

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis carried the ball three times for only one yard in the Bears comeback victory over the Broncos in Denver. It has been a frustrating start for Davis, who signed in the offseason after an increased role in Seattle. But he has done nothing with his limited opportunities through two […]

Patrick Mahomes Carves Up Raiders Defense

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is off to an incredible start to the regular season. He threw for three touchdowns in Week 1, but still somehow managed to top that in Week 2. Mahomes completed 30 of his 44 attempts for 443 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions in the victory over the […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Pops 46-Yard Run

Chicago Bears wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson carried the ball twice for 50 yards in the Bears 16-14 road win over the Broncos. Patterson set up the team's only touchdown drive, taking a handoff 46 yards down the field. Patterson's size and speed are envious traits but the veteran is merely a gadget player in the […]

Chris Thompson Targeted Eight Times In Week 2

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson caught five passes for 48 yards on Sunday. His eight targets trailed only Terry McLaurin, and his 18 targets after two games are the most of any player on the team. Thompson's level of involvement has largely stemmed from a nearly nonexistent running game, which has made him the […]

Taylor Gabriel Totals 25 Yards From Scrimmage In Week 2

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel caught one pass for 11 yards and added a 14-yard run in the Bears last-second win over the Broncos 16-14. Gabriel was targeted only twice in the game but took an end-around handoff for 14 yards to bring the team into the red zone on their only touchdown drive […]

Adam Shaheen Surprises With Three Receptions

Chicago Bears tight end Adam Shaheen caught three passes for 24 yards in the Bears comeback win over the Broncos in Week 2. The former second-round pick has the talent but has been a mercurial asset for the Bears in his career. But he made some nice receptions in this game, including one moment when […]

Dalvin Cook Has Huge Game In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed 20 times for 154 yards (7.7 YPC) and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He also caught 3-of-3 targets for 37 yards. Cook's big day included a career-high 75-yard touchdown run in the second quarter as he again looked very explosive and displayed […]

Tarik Cohen Disappoints With 25 Total Yards

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball four times for 18 yards and added two catches for only seven yards in the Bears 16-14 win. The Bears tried to get Cohen involved in the game early but the breaks didn't go his way. Cohen was wide open down the field on the first […]

Vernon Davis A Non-Factor In Sunday's Loss

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis caught three passes for 29 yards against the Cowboys on Sunday. He was targeted just four times. Even in the absence of Jordan Reed, Davis is going to be a touchdown-dependent fantasy tight end due to a lack of volume. This will only become more true as time progresses […]

Allen Robinson Hauls In Crucial Catch In Victory

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson caught four passes for 41 yards in the Bears 16-14 last-second win over the Broncos. It was a quiet game for Robinson and the passing game as a whole but the 25-year-old made the catch of the game. With time ticking down, quarterback Mitch Trubisky stepped up in the […]

Marquise Brown Leads The Ravens In Targets

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown led the team in passing targets in Week 2 with 13. Brown started the game and he may be emerging as the Ravens No. 1 receiving option. Unlike Week 1 where Brown played a mere 18% of the Ravens offensive snaps, he played on 65% this week. The rookie […]
