Mark Andrews Shows Reliability Again

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews showed out Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Andrews caught eight balls on nine targets for 120 yards and a touchdown in the win. Quarterback Lamar Jackson relied on his tight ends more than any other group and Andrews has proven himself as Baltimore's most reliable option. Andrews has caught […]

Vance McDonald Finds Pay Dirt Twice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught all seven targets for 38 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle. It was the first time in his career that he's scored twice in one game. Once Mason Rudolph took over for Ben Roethlisberger (elbow ) in the second half, McDonald became the most […]

Drew Brees Injures Right Hand Against Rams

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) injured his right hand in Week 2 against the Rams and is on the sidelines. Brees has his right thumb wrapped and hasn't even attempted to throw a football while backup Teddy Bridgewater is in the game against Los Angeles. It's a worst-case scenario for Brees owners, especially […]

Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage Officially In Timeshare

Miami Dolphins running backs Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage shared the tiny load equally on Sunday, in a 43-0 loss at home to the New England Patriots. Ballage started the game and played in the second series as well before giving way to Drake for Miami's final three drives of the half. The two backs […]

Jeffery Wilson Vultures Two Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson scored two rushing touchdowns in Week 2’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson’s role as the primary goal-line back paid off, as he handled 10 carries for 34 yards, including two successful conversions inside the 5-yard line. The Niners promoted Wilson from the practice squad this week and […]

Carlos Hyde Is Houston's RB1

The Houston Texans' Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars made one thing clear: Carlos Hyde is the team's No. 1 running back. Hyde carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards, while Duke Johnson saw just six carries. Hyde likely won't carry the ball 20 times every week, but head coach Bill O'Brien made […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Held In Check By Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in five of his eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle. The USC product didn't receive a single target until the team's final drive of the first half. Once Ben Roethlisberger was injured, Smith-Schuster's usage took a huge hit. If Roethlisberger is forced to […]

Deshaun Watson Salvages Poor Showing With Rushing Touchdown

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson couldn't get anything going through the air in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, going 16-for-29 for 159 yards and no touchdowns. Watson ran the ball four times for just five yards, but his fantasy day was saved by a rushing touchdown. It wasn't a good day, but it was also […]

Lamar Jackson Shows Legs In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson led the team in rushing in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals, racking up a career-high 120 yards on 16 carries.

Tyler Eifert Scores Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was targeted five times on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, hauling in three of them for just nine yards and one touchdown. At this point in his career, Eifert looks like he has lost some explosiveness, but quarterback Andy Dalton definitely looks his way when the Bengals are […]

Kenny Golladay Shines In Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay put on a spectacular performance Sunday in the Lions 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The second-year wide receiver hauled in eight catches for 117 yards and a touchdown, which turned out to be the winning score of the game. Golladay led the Lions in targets with 10 […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Breezes To Victory

Mason Rudolph Throws First Two Career Touchdowns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Rudolph was thrust into action to start the second half after Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) sustained an injury. Rudolph looked solid and did a good job bringing the Steelers back into the game but the defense […]

Dede Westbrook Struggles Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught just one of his five targets in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, finishing with just three yards. It was the second disappointing game in a row for Westbrook, though this one makes Week 1's 30 yard performance look good. Westbrook and rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew just aren't […]

Cowboys Defense Disappoints in Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys Defense disappointed its fantasy owners again in Week 2, allowing 21 points to Washington. They did not record an interception nor force a fumble, and only sacked quarterback Case Keenum once. The Cowboys defense was expected to be one of the best plays of Week 2, but ended up as a middling […]

Tyler Boyd Has A Big Day In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd led all Bengals receivers in Week 2 with 10 targets. Boyd turned those 10 targets into 10 catches and 122 scoreless yards. Boyd ran tremendous routes throughout the game and looked explosive, serving as Dalton's favorite passing option in A.J. Green's absence. The Bengals will face off against the […]

Jaylen Samuels Nets 31 Total Yards

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels toted three carries for 18 yards, while catching one pass for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-26 loss to the Seahawks. James Conner (knee) went down which thrusted Samuels into action, but he didn't get as many chances as the Steelers were playing comeback in the second half. The second-year […]

Brett Maher Makes Four Extra Points and a Field Goal

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all four of his extra-point attempts in Week 2, adding a 25-yard field goal as well. In a week where several kickers struggled, Maher was his usual consistent self. With the Cowboys offense clicking as it has been, Maher hasn't really been needed for field goals, but he should […]

D.J. Chark Finds End Zone In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark found the end zone for the second week in a row, catching a late score in the fourth quarter that brought the Jaguars within a point. Chark led the team with nine targets, catching seven of them for 55 yards. His usage in Week 2 suggests that his Week […]

Blake Jarwin Catches Just One Pass in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught just one pass in Week 2, gaining 22 yards. Meanwhile, Jason Witten caught four passes and came down with a touchdown. Jarwin was still only three yards behind Witten's 25 though, showing the difference between their games. Still, Jarwin won't have a consistent enough role in the offense […]

Matthew Stafford Delivers Middling Effort In Lions Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford proved efficient in the Lions 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2, completing 22 of his 30 pass attempts, but he was otherwise unspectacular on the day. Stafford threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns while being picked off twice in what was a somewhat sloppy affair […]

Randall Cobb Touches the Ball Seven Times in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught five passes in Week 2, gaining 24 yards through the air. He added two rushing plays, picking up 11 yards on the ground. Cobb took a step back this week but the offensive game plan showed that he should still be involved going forward. He's not a starting […]

Joe Mixon Can't Get Going Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) started in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers and simply couldn't get anything going on the ground or in the passing game. Mixon carried the ball 11 times for just 17 yards and added three catches for a mere 10 yards. In fairness to Mixon, he really […]

Chris Conley Has Solid Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley caught four passes for a team-high 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew has been looking Conley's way pretty consistently, and he's becoming a solid fantasy option in deeper leagues. With Marqise Lee and Keelan Cole seemingly out of the team's receiving rotation, […]

Jason Witten Shows Up Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten played a big role in Week 2, catching four passes for 25 yards and a touchdown. Witten's score came on a short two-yard pass from Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Witten came out of retirement to play in 2019 and has scored a touchdown in both weeks so […]

Leonard Fournette Grinds Out Solid Fantasy Day

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 15 times for 47 yards in Jacksonville's Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans. He also caught four passes for 40 yards. Fournette was the only Jaguars running back with a carry or a target in this one, and while it wasn't his best game, his […]

Patriots Defense Destroys The Dolphins

The New England Patriots Defense returned two interceptions for touchdowns and held the Dolphins scoreless in the team's dominant 43-0 win in Week 2. The Dolphins offense is a mess, but the Patriots defense has emerged as a unit to be reckoned with. The defense has now allowed only three points through their first two […]

Josh Gordon Disappoints With Two Receptions

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught only two passes for 19 yards in the Patriots 43-0 win over the Dolphins. Gordon was targeted on back-to-back plays, picking up a first down and then disappeared from the game plan. The Patriots got off to a huge lead and opted to run the football for […]

Rex Burkhead Tallies 68 Total Yards Against Miami

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead caught two passes for 47 yards and added 21 rushing yards in the team's blowout win over the Dolphins. It is early in the season but Burkhead has somehow passed veteran James White on the depth chart. Burkhead has ability running and catching the football and has succeeded […]

Amari Cooper Scores a Touchdown in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught four passes in Week 2, gaining 44 yards and scoring a touchdown. His score came on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott in the third quarter.
