Marquez Valdes-Scantling Flashes In Opening Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling flashed in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. Valdes-Scantling finished the game with four receptions for 52 yards, including an impressive 47-yard catch. The athletic receiver was only bettered in targets by elite receiving option Davante Adams. However, it's worth noting that he equaled targets with tight […]

Jamaal Williams The Clear Backup For Packers

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams is the clear backup for the team. There had been talk around the team operating a committee backfield. However, he only had seven touches in the game, which is half the number that lead back Aaron Jones had. Williams finished the game with five carries but was unable […]

Eddy Pineiro Connects On Only FG Attempt Against Packers

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro connected on a 38-yard field goal in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. The "rookie" was thrust into the action in the first quarter, burying a midrange kick right down the middle for his first NFL field goal. The young kicker never saw another opportunity in […]

Bears Defense Allows 10 Points In Discouraging Loss

The Chicago Bears Defense allowed only 10 points and picked up five sacks in the team's 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. The Bears defense came out frothing at the mouth to begin the game, suffocating quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the first few drives. But a deep pass by Rodgers set up the […]

Taylor Gabriel Catches Two Passes In Week 1

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel caught two passes for 24 yards in the Bears disappointing 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. Gabriel was targeted five times, none more important than a possible chunk-play reception that resulted in an offensive pass interference penalty on Gabriel. The veteran is no more than role player […]

Anthony Miller Plays, Targeted Once In Loss

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller failed to record a catch in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers to open the 2019 NFL season. The second-year receiver was targeted only once on a night when the offense couldn't get anything going. Miller has been dealing with an ankle injury suffered during practice two weeks […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 23

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Mike Davis Records 36 Total Yards In Loss

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis carried the ball five times for 19 yards and added six receptions for only 17 yards in the team's 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. Davis began the game as the lead back but split time sporadically with teammates Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery. Davis created some […]

David Montgomery Debuts With 45 All-Purpose Yards

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball six times for 18 yards and caught one spectacular pass for 27 yards in the team's Week 1 loss to the Packers. Montgomery flashed his elusiveness in the first half, shaking tacklers for a couple of first downs. The rookie made an excellent catch in space […]

Tarik Cohen Tallies Team-High Eight Receptions In Loss

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught eight passes for 49 yards in the Bears disappointing 10-3 loss against the Packers in Week 1. Most of Cohen's production came in the fourth quarter as an anemic Bears offense tried desperately to get things going. Cohen did not see a carry in the game but was […]

Titans Defense Not Recommended In Tough Week 1 Matchup

The Tennessee Titans Defense is not a recommended streaming option in Week 1 in a tough road matchup. Despite being top three in points allowed in 2018, a road test against one of the most explosive offenses in the league is not a situation to target. Although the Browns do have one of the more […]

Allen Robinson Leads Bears With 102 Receiving Yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson caught seven passes for 102 yards in the team's 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. The Bears offense was stuck in neutral from the first snap of the game, save for Robinson. He appeared to be the only Bears receiver able to gain separation and added some […]

Delanie Walker A Low-End TE1 In Week 1

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker will be making his first regular season start since Week 1 of 2018 this week as the Titans travel to Cleveland to face the Browns. Walker looked like his old self in limited action this preseason, giving little reason to doubt that he will still be able to produce […]

Mitch Trubisky Lays A Dud In Opener

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 26 of 45 passes for 228 yards and one interception in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers. The third-year quarterback and the Bears offense never got anything going, and Trubisky added only 11 rushing yards in the game. The Bears offense looked lost at times, failing to cash […]

Corey Davis A Low-End Flex Play In Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis is shaping up as a low-end flex option in the Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Davis, who opens 2019 as the locked-in WR1 for the Titans, is coming off of a very solid camp going into his third season. The offense desperately needs Davis to take that […]

Dion Lewis Could See Extra Work In Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis may get extended run in the Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are expected to field one of the league's most explosive offenses in 2019, which could lead to a negative game script for the Titans offense. This scenario would almost certainly lead to more work […]

Dante Pettis Upgraded To Full Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (groin) was upgraded to full in Thursday’s practice. The second-year pro had been limited throughout the week but he looks ready to go in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With injuries to Trent Taylor (foot) and Jalen Hurd (back), the Niners formerly-deep receiving corps will likely […]

Marcus Mariota Not In Play In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota faces a stiff task to kick off the 2019 season. Mariota and the Titans will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns, who enter the season with exponentially more hype than they've had in recent memory. While the majority of the focus has been on Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr., […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Start 2019 Off Strong

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is looking to build off of his strong finish to the 2018 season in Week 1 on the road against the Cleveland Browns. While Henry is slated to be the team's feature back in 2019, fantasy owners should have lowered expectations in what appears to be a very tough […]

Dalvin Cook A Top-Tier RB1 Against Falcons

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is primed for a big game to start the season, squaring off against an Atlanta Falcons Defense that got absolutely crushed by running backs in 2018. The Falcons allowed 10 top-10 finishes by running backs last year, and have been notorious for allowing tons of receiving yardage to the […]
