Auston Matthews, Maple Leafs Overpower Red Wings

The Toronto Maple Leafs needed just 23 shots to defeat the Detroit Red Wings by the score of 4-1 on Saturday night. Center Auston Matthews scored two goals and added an assist. He now has six points in his last three games. Forward Zach Hyman also had two goals and an assist. He’s been playing […]

Connor McDavid, Edmonton Defeat Montreal 4-3

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl paced the Oilers’ offense yet again in Saturday night’s 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. Both players had a goal and an assist. With five shots on net, it was the first time since mid-November that the pass-first McDavid had peppered a goalie with more than four attempts. He now […]

Bills Defense Surrenders Over 400 Yards To Patriots

The Bills Defense struggled in Week 16 against the Patriots. They allowed the Patriots to record 414 yards from scrimmage in the game, on their way to 24 points and a victory. The Bills failed to record a single sack on quarterback Tom Brady and they only came up with one turnover, a Rex Burkhead […]

Dawson Knox Catches Just One Pass In Week 16

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox had one of the Bills' biggest plays from scrimmage in Week 16 against the Patriots. He caught a 33-yard pass from quarterback Josh Allen, but unfortunately, it was Knox's only reception in the game. Knox was targeted four times in the game, which was tied for second on the […]

Frank Gore Doesn't See A Single Touch In Week 16

For the first time all year, Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore went without a touch in a game in Week 16. All 15 of the team's running back carries went to No. 1 running back Devin Singletary, who rushed for 46 yards in the game. Gore has been really struggling lately, averaging fewer than […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Marlon Mack, Philip Lindsay, John Brown

It all comes down to this for millions of fantasy football players, well, unless your league thinks having its Super Bowl on Week 17 when half the league rests its star players is a good idea.

Emmanuel Sanders Hauls In Only Three Catches

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught three of his six targets for 61 yards during the win over the Rams on Saturday. This was another disappointing performance from the veteran, who had just two receptions for a miserable nine yards against Atlanta in his previous outing coming into this one. Jimmy Garoppolo did […]

George Kittle Scores A Touchdown In Win

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had five catches for 79 yards and a score in the win over the Rams on Saturday. Kittle had a team-high eight targets on the night and connected with a struggling Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter to put his team up by three points. The 26-year-old […]

Deebo Samuel Runs One In For Six

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had three carries for 28 yards and a score against the Rams, running one in early in the second quarter. He also caught four of his six targets for 31 yards. This was his first time finding the end zone since Week 13 and a more favorable performance […]

Mohamed Sanu Registers 24 Yards Against Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu caught three passes for 24 yards in the Patriots 24-17 victory over the Bills. The veteran receiver was not a huge part of the offensive attack but Sanu has been dealing with an ankle injury. But the veteran looked healthier in his cuts and route-running on the field […]

James White Disappoints In Division-Clinching Win

New England Patriots running back James White caught four passes for only 24 yards in the Patriots 24-17 win over the Bills. White also saw three carries in the game but only managed five yards. It has been a bit of a running back roulette in the backfield for the Patriots this season with teammates […]

Tevin Coleman Records 33 Yards In Win

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman ran for 33 yards on five carries during the win over the Rams on Saturday. Once again, Coleman yielded carries to Raheem Mostert, who finished with 11 attempts for 53 yards and a score. He is a long way removed from his Week 8 performance, where he finished […]

Julian Edelman Bounces Back With 72 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught five passes for 72 yards in the Patriots 24-17 win over the Bills. It was a solid, if unspectacular, bounce back game for the veteran, who posted only two catches for nine yards the week prior. Edelman also appeared to take some serious hits in the game […]

Rex Burkhead Totals 97 Yards In Win

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead caught four passes for a team-high 77 yards and added 20 rushing yards in the team's 24-17 comeback win over the Bills. Burkhead shook off an early fumble to become an integral part of the Patriots division-clinching victory. Burkhead is the third fiddle in a crowded backfield but […]

Sony Michel Rushes For 96 Yards

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 21 times for 96 yards in the team's 24-17 win over the Bills in Week 16. The second-year running back averaged 4.6 yards per carry and posted his second quality game in a row. Michel still is not a threat in the passing game but […]

Raheem Mostert Records Another Touchdown

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert had 53 yards and a touchdown off of 11 carries during the narrow win over the Rams on Saturday. These types of performances have been relatively routine for the 27-year-old from a yardage standpoint, and while he continues to semi-split carries with Tevin Coleman, he has now scored […]

Tom Brady Guides Patriots To Division Title

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 26 of 33 passes for 271 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 24-17 win over the Bills. The victory locked up the division title in the AFC East for the 11th year in a row for New England and Brady played his sharpest game in over a […]

Aaron Donald Reaches The QB

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had 1.5 sacks against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. That gives him 12.5 sacks on the year, which is a fall from grace of his 20.5 sacks last year. Expect him to give it his all against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17 without playoff hopes […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Leads Niners To Comeback Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo managed to lead his team to a comeback win over a relentless Rams Defense in Week 16. Garoppolo did throw a touchdown but struggled by also tossing two interceptions while completing only 59.3 percent of his passes. Despite having arguably one of his worst outings of the year from […]

Rams Defense Does All It Can

The Los Angeles Rams Defense had six sacks and two interceptions against their NFC West foe in the San Francisco 49ers. They allowed 34 points, which won't help much, but the other numbers were valiant. They'll play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17, which should be a good matchup. The Rams were eliminated from playoff […]

Gerald Everett Not Looked At Often

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett only had one target in Week 16, and it went incomplete. Fellow tight end Tyler Higbee has taken the offense by storm in Everett's absence with a knee injury. It doesn't appear to be changing in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. If you had high hopes for […]

Tyler Higbee Remains Scorching

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had a game-high nine grabs for 104 yards in his fourth straight 100-yard performance in Week 16. Higbee has doubled his career highs in receptions and receiving yards despite only playing in 13 games thus far. Fellow tight end Gerald Everett returned from injury this week, and he […]

Brandin Cooks Reaches Pay Dirt

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks returned to fantasy relevance with four catches for 39 yards and a score in Week 16. He had been mostly dormant the last few weeks, but he showed some life last week with four grabs for 46 yards. This week wasn't much different other than the touchdown. The […]

Robert Woods Rekindles The Flame

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods remained in his happy place as he led the team with 117 receiving yards on eight grabs in the Week 16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Woods took a step back last week, but he has been on the best stretch of his career. The connection that […]

Cooper Kupp Hauls In A Score

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp only caught four balls for 31 yards, but one of them amounted to a touchdown. Kupp has fallen out of favor in the offense for whatever reason the last few weeks. He was routinely receiving nine or 10 targets, but it's hard to scratch six targets these days. […]

Todd Gurley Reaches Promised Land Twice

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's numbers weren't pretty, but he finished the day with two touchdowns. His line was 15 rushes for 48 yards (3.2 yards per carry), and he didn't connect on the two passes headed his way. The Rams were eliminated from playoff contention. Since Gurley's knee situation needed so much […]
