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 […]

David Montgomery Leads Bears With 62 Rushing Yards

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery led the running attack with 62 yards on 18 carries, including his first NFL touchdown, in the Bears thrilling 16-14 win over the Broncos. Montgomery was the lead back from the opening drive and put together some elusive runs between the tackles. He averaged only 3.4 yards per carry […]

Mitch Trubisky Delivers Crucial Throw In Comeback Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 16 of 27 passes for 120 yards and eight rushing yards in the Bears last-second, comeback win over the Broncos 16-14. One week after Trubisky laid a dud against the Packers, the Bears offense took a very run-heavy approach to this battle. Trubisky was able to move the chains […]

Paul Richardson Catches Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson salvaged a dismal fantasy day with a nine-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. His final line for the day was three catches on three targets for 16 yards. After two weeks, it's abundantly clear that Terry McLaurin is the go-to target […]

Adrian Peterson Neutralized By Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson opened the scoring in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, but an early touchdown was the extent of his production for the day. He rushed 10 times for just 25 yards. The Redskins, who lived and died by the run in 2018, have now gotten a combined 43 rushing […]

Terry McLaurin Emerging As Legitimate Fantasy Option

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He has now been targeted 16 times in Washington's first two games, the most of any Redskins wide receiver. The safe play heading into Week 2 was to exercise caution […]

Case Keenum Salvages Day With Two Second-Half TDs

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was held in check by the Dallas defense for most of Sunday's Week 2 loss, but a pair of touchdowns late in the second half saved his fantasy day. Keenum finished with 26 completions on 37 attempts for 221 yards and the two scores. He also didn't commit any turnovers, […]

Damien Williams Injures Knee Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) injured his knee in Week 2 against the Raiders and is questionable to return. Williams turned in a dud before his injury with the Chiefs leading 28-10, rushing only nine times for eight yards (0.9 yards per tote) while catching three of his five targets in the […]
