Mark Ingram Scores Once In Win

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed for 44 yards on 19 attempts and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 5 overtime win against Pittsburgh. Quarterback Lamar Jackson led the Raven's in rushing with 70 yards. Ingram would have had an underwhelming performance without getting in the end zone, but was able to put the first […]

Kyle Allen Leads Team To Another Win

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen went 17-for-30 for 181 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars on Sunday. With the Panthers doing most of the work on the ground, Allen threw his lone score late in the first quarter off of an 18-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey. While the 23-year-old didn't do a lot […]

James O'Shaughnessy Continues To See Expanded Role

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy caught three passes for 57 yards in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was targeted four times and has now seen four or more targets in four of Jacksonville's five games. O'Shaughnessy isn't quite to the level where he should be started in fantasy leagues, but he may […]

Sony Michel Delivers His Best Game Of The Season

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 16 times for 91 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 33-7 throttling of the Redskins in Week 5. Michel also added three catches for 32 yards in his best offensive game of the season. The second-year running back's season has been a bit of […]

Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made every kick asked of him in Week 5. He connected on all four of his extra point attempts and also knocked a 28-yard field goal through the uprights. Elliott has been very consistent this season, but the Eagles just haven't had a ton of field goal tries so far. […]

Tom Brady Tosses Three Touchdowns In Easy Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 28-of-42 passes for 348 yards, three touchdowns and one interception as the Patriots cruised to a 33-7 win over the Redskins. The Patriots found themselves early in a strange spot; trailing in a game. But the Patriots offense quickly corrected that en route to rattling off 33 unanswered […]

Vance McDonald Catches All Three Targets

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald had three receptions for 34 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. After missing Week 4's game with a shoulder injury, McDonald was able to have a decent game Sunday. He was targeted just once by third-string quarterback Devlin Hodges, but if the rookie signal caller is forced to […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not Targeted in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was not targeted in an Eagles Week 5 win. Even with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) out, Arcega-Whiteside did not factor into the game whatsoever. Even Mack Hollins, who played ahead of Arcega-Whiteside, only saw one target. Arcega-Whiteside has good upside, but he's not close to being a starting option […]

Dede Westbrook Brings In Seven Catches

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught seven passes for 82 yards in Jacksonville's Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He tied for the team lead with 11 targets. Westbrook's lost his grip on Jacksonville's top receiver role with the emergence of D.J. Chark, which has limited his production this season. He's still a […]

Chris Thompson Sees Seven Targets In Loss

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was tied with Terry McLaurin for the team lead in targets at seven each in Sunday's defeat. While Thompson only turned the volume into five catches for 17 yards, the silver lining here is that it doesn't appear to matter much who the Redskins play at quarterback. Thompson is […]

Chris Godwin Has Huge Performance In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin rewarded fantasy owners in a big way Sunday, catching 7-of-9 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs loss to the Saints. Godwin has now firmly established himself as a high-end WR2 even with an inconsistent Jameis Winston throwing him the ball. He now has touchdowns […]

Mack Hollins Makes No Catches in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins did not come up with his only target in the passing game in Week 5. Hollins was forced into action in three-wide sets with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) missing another game. Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz took control of the few passes completed by Carson Wentz in this one, leaving […]

Lamar Jackson Throws Three Interceptions

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 161 yards with a touchdown and three picks in Week 5's overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson also added a game-high 70 yards on the ground on 14 attempts. His only touchdown came early in the second quarter to receiver Marquise Brown for 11 yards. The Ravens […]

Bears Defense Crumbles In London

The Chicago Bears Defense recorded zero sacks and only quarterback hit as the Bears lost to the Raiders 24-21 in London. Right from the start, the Raiders offensive line man-handled a Bears defense that lost defensive tackle Akiem Hicks early to injury. The unit was able to recover two fumbles but gave up the game-winning […]

Nelson Agholor Catches a Pass and Fumbles in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining 20 yards then fumbling the ball. Agholor was coming off a zero-catch game in Week 4 and didn't really do any better in Week 5. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) expected back soon, Agholor could be sliding completely off the fantasy radar. […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores Three Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey had his best game of the season on Sunday, finishing with three touchdowns against Jacksonville. McCaffrey found the end zone twice in the first quarter before breaking away for his final score of the day off of an 84-yard run early in the second half. The Jaguars Defense had […]

D.J. Chark Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark opened the year with a touchdown in each of the first three games, but failed to find the end zone in Week 4. He got things back on track in Week 5, though, catching eight passes for 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns while being targeted 11 times. […]

Diontae Johnson Catches Five Passes Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in five of his eight targets for just 27 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens. Johnson also fumbled in the third quarter but he was bailed out when the ball rolled out of bounds. The rookie is definitely getting his fair share of targets after scoring […]

Mike Davis Has Zero Carries Against Oakland

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis failed to register a carry in the Bears loss to the Raiders 24-21 in Week 5. The Bears will head into their bye week looking for answers to their sub-par running game and Davis has been a non-factor thus far. It certainly is disappointing after the Bears paid millions […]

Adrian Peterson Unproductive Yet Again

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed seven times for 18 yards against the Patriots on Sunday. Peterson has yet to total more than 37 rushing yards in any game this season, and has scored just one touchdown. He may have begun the season as a volume-dependent flex option, but his total lack of production […]

Aldrick Rosas Has One Field Goal Again

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal attempt in Sunday's loss. The Pro Bowler now has exactly one field goal in four of the Giants' five games this season. With the team not mounting a consistent offense capable of getting into field goal position often, Rosas remains off the streaming radar […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Six Passes in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery led the Eagles with six catches in Week 5, gaining 52 yards. The Eagles didn't need to throw much, with quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. Jeffery did well with the balls thrown to him, and he should have bigger games when the Eagles actually need to make […]

Mike Evans Doesn't Record A Catch In Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans heavily disappointed fantasy owners in Week 5, catching zero balls on just three targets. It was more of the same for Evans, who has been a boom or bust option so far this season. Evans has the ability to absolutely dominate but has only showcased those abilities twice […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Not A Factor Against Raiders

Chicago Bears wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson carried the ball only once for five yards in the Bears 24-21 loss to the Raiders in Week 5. Patterson had been getting some nice run as a change-of-pace bulldozer in the backfield but was barely featured in this contest against his former team. Patterson is no more than […]

Giants Defense Bends But Doesn't Break Often

The New York Giants Defense had its moments on Sunday in a 28-10 loss to the Vikings. With the team's offense not moving the ball at all, the defense was asked to stop the Vikings on a lot of short field drives, so the score could have been a lot worse had they not held […]

Leonard Fournette Has Another Strong Outing

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had 23 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He also caught four passes for 29 yards. It wasn't a 200-yard game like he had in Week 4, but it was another solid performance for the team's bell cow back. It's also […]

Dalvin Cook Cruises To Giant Week 5 Total

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had another monster performance in Week 5's road win over the New York Giants. He rushed 21 times for 132 yards (6.3 yards per carry) and caught all six of his targets for 86 yards in the victory. Cook again looked extremely explosive while displaying great vision all game […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Falls Flat In Starting Role

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's loss. Like a handful of his teammates, his futility in Week 5 can't be entirely attributed to anything he did wrong. The Redskins are just a poor offensive team, and Colt McCoy was never going to give them a […]

Trey Burton's Stock Continues To Plummet

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton caught only three passes for 16 yards in the Bears Week 5 loss to the Raiders in London. Even if backup quarterback Chase Daniel was not under center, Burton simply looks lost in the shuffle on offense. The scheme no longer has Burton as a focal point and the […]

James Washington Leaves Game With Shoulder Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught three of his six targets for 52 yards before leaving Sunday's game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. Washington was pretty effective early, but if the injury causes him to miss time, expect rookie Diontae Johnson to get increased opportunities. Nonetheless, this is a banged up Steelers […]
