Larry Fitzgerald Breaks Century Mark

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had five catches for 104 yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. More than half of that came on a 54-yard reception, though.

Christian Kirk Breaks Out

He was targeted eight times in the game with his longest reception coming in at 34 yards. He'll have a tough draw next week against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are one […]

Kyler Murray Airs It Out

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 25-for-40 for 349 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Aaron Donald Throttled Again

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (back) suffered a back injury during the first half of the Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints, but he returned to the game. He was held to one solo tackle and has not recorded a sack in the first two games of the season. It's starting […]

Malcolm Brown Quiet In Win

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed just six times for 37 yards and caught a 10-yard pass in the Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints. It was a step back for Brown, who had a much larger workload in the season opener. Brown can't be relied on as a consistent contributor, […]

Todd Gurley Solid In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints. He also added three catches for four yards.

Eagles Defense Gets Three Interceptions in Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense had an up-and-down Week 2. They allowed 24 points to the Atlanta Falcons, but they also recorded three interceptions and a sack.

Joe Musgrove (SP, PIT) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: It seems right about every time you think you can start trusting Pirates pitcher Joe Musgrove, is right about the time that he gives up about eight runs, as he did in a loss against the Mets on August 4. But Musgrove has been […]

Jake Elliott Kicks Two Field Goals in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his field goal attempts in Week 2. His kicks came from 34 and 41 yards out.

Darren Sproles Gets Just Two Offensive Touches in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles got just two offensive touches in Week 2. He didn't record a carry, but caught two passes for five yards.

Mack Hollins Catches Five Passes in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins showed up in Week 2 with five catches for 50 yards. Hollins was thrust into a bigger role after Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson were both forced to leave the game in the first half.

Hunter Renfrow Leads Team In Targets

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow saw a team-high eight targets versus the Chiefs in Week 2 as he continues to build more chemistry with quarterback Derek Carr. He was only able to haul in four of these balls for 30 scoreless yards, but his growing involvement in the passing game is encouraging. Renfrow is […]

Zach Ertz Catches Eight Passes in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught eight passes in Week 2, gaining 72 yards. Ertz watched wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery leave the game in the first half due to injury, but Nelson Agholor ended up drawing most of Carson Wentz's targets in the second half.

Jordan Howard Barely Moves the Ball in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard couldn't get anything going with the ball in Week 2. He gained 18 yards on eight carries, adding eight yards on his lone catch of the game.

Derek Carr Inconsistent In Week 2

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr got his team off to a hot start against the Chiefs Sunday, but failed to do much after the team’s first two drives of the game. He marched the team down the field for a field goal and a touchdown pass to Tyrell Williams to open the contest, but went […]

Miles Sanders Can't Get Much Going in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders couldn't get much going in Week 2. He ran the ball 10 times, gaining just 28 scoreless yards. He added three catches for nine more yards. Overall, it was a tough game for the Eagles on the ground, but Sanders did out-touch Jordan Howard by four. Sanders is […]

Carson Wentz Totals Two Touchdowns in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz found a way to make two touchdowns happen on Sunday night despite losing his two top receivers to injuries. With DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery both leaving due to injuries in the first half, Wentz was left with a preseason-like supporting cast for most of the game. Still, he threw […]

Jared Goff Solid in Rams Victory

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw 19 passes on 28 attempts for 283 yards and one touchdown in the team’s 27-9 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Robert Woods Quiet In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught two passes on two targets for 23 yards in the team’s 27-9 victory over the New Orleans Saints. While Woods had a few plays called back due to penalties, his performance on Sunday afternoon was disappointing as Woods was the clear WR1 for the team during Week […]

Cooper Kupp Continues To Dominate

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught five passes on nine targets for 120 yards in the team’s 27-9 victory over the New Orleans Saints. After a strong Week 1 performance, Kupp continues to be quarterback Jared Goff’s favorite target. The third-year receiver led the team in targets, receptions and yards, and he also […]

Darren Waller Has Another Strong Game Versus Chiefs

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had another excellent showing in Week 2 versus the Chiefs. He caught 6-of-7 targets for 63 yards once again showing terrific athletic ability for his position.

Josh Jacobs Impresses In Week 2

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had another terrific outing in the team’s 28-10 loss to Kansas City Sunday. He gained 99 yards on only 12 carries aided by an outstanding 51-yard run. Game script hurt the rookie's ability to get more touches, but he certainly fared well with the opportunities he did get with […]

Tyrell Williams Catches TD In Loss

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams caught five of seven targets and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. The veteran picked up 46 yards in the contest, once again proving to be the clear-cut WR1 in the offense. Williams got one other red-zone look that got intercepted, as the offense as a whole […]
