Drew Brees Leads Team To Monday Night Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 32-for-43 with two touchdowns during the Monday night win over the Houston Texans. Despite getting off to a rough start by throwing an interception during the team’s second drive of the night, the veteran eventually turned things around by connecting with quarterback Taysom Hill in the third quarter […]

Brandon McManus Has Solid Night

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus posted a solid stat line on Monday versus the Oakland Raiders. The sixth-year kicker connected on three of four field goals on the evening, with his lone miss being a 64-yarder that would have been good from around 62. McManus also hit on his only extra-point attempt on the night. […]

Denver Broncos Defense Non-Existent Versus Raiders

The Denver Broncos Defense let the Oakland Raiders run all over them on Monday night, losing in a 24-16 contest. The Raiders dominated Denver all night long, tallying 357 yards and scoring three of four times they were in the red zone. The Broncos also failed to make any big plays happen, tallying a zero […]

Phillip Lindsay Contained Versus Raiders

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was contained by the Oakland Raiders Defense on Monday evening. The sophomore back from the University of Colorado tallied 43 yards rushing on 11 attempts, alongside four receptions for 23 yards. Lindsay looked nimble on the runs he had, but was unable to get past the second level on […]

Royce Freeman Struggles With Solid Volume

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman struggled with solid volume on Monday night, as he received 10 carries compared to lead back Phillip Lindsay's 11. Freeman posted 56 yards on his 10 looks, highlighted by a 26-yard carry late in the game. While his stats look like he outperformed Lindsay, outside of the 26-yard run, […]

DaeSean Hamilton Disappoints, Plagued By Drops

Denver Broncos wide receiver Daesean Hamilton had an extremely disappointing performance in Week 1, which further hurt his stock as his fellow receivers excelled on Monday evening. The 24-year-old receiver hauled in two of four passes thrown his way for five yards, having a rough stretch where he dropped a must grab touchdown pass, followed […]

Noah Fant Lackluster In Week 1

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had a lackluster performance in his NFL debut versus the Oakland Raiders. Fant came in with low expectations from most fantasy owners and matched those expectations with two receptions for 29 yards. Some silver linings are that the rookie from Iowa did see five targets on the evening and […]

Emmanuel Sanders Hauls In Touchdown In Return

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders lived up to the preseason talk that he had fully recovered from his offseason Achilles injury. The veteran receiver looked healthy on the field, hauling in the lone touchdown catch for his team and burning the Oakland Raiders Defense for a 53-yard grab down the middle of the field. […]

Courtland Sutton Explodes For Monster Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a stellar game to kick off his sophomore campaign against the Oakland Raiders, rewarding any owners that gave him a shot in their Week 1 lineup. The former SMU Mustang hauled in seven of the eight balls thrown his way, both team highs, for 120 yards, also a […]

Joe Flacco Struggles In Debut With Denver

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco struggled mightily in his debut with the team on Monday evening, resulting in a 16-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders. The veteran quarterback struggled all game long, not managing to accurately connect with his receivers and looking lost at times in the offense. Flacco connected on 21 of 31 passing […]

Daniel Carlson Nails All Four Kicks In Win

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got off on the right foot in Monday's matchup versus the Broncos. He hit all three of his extra-point attempts as well as a 29-yard field goal to help his team cruise to a 24-16 victory in Week 1. Carlson finished the last ten games with the Silver and Black […]

Hunter Renfrow A Non-Factor In Debut

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow didn't see much action in the team's 24-16 defeat over the Denver Broncos Monday. He caught 2-of-3 targets for 13 yards in his sporadic time on the field, but he did look sharp when he did catch the ball. Until Renfrow earns more playing time, he's solely a dynasty […]

Darren Waller Sees Team-High Eight Targets Monday

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller lived up to his preseason hype in Monday night's win over the Broncos. He hauled in seven of his team-high eight targets, picking up 70 yards as a reliable pass-catcher for quarterback Derek Carr. He was a mismatch against defenders all evening and showed off his dependable hands with […]

Derek Carr Efficient In Week 1 Victory

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr got his team off to a terrific start to the 2019 season, defeating the Broncos 24-16 in their Monday night showdown. The 28-year-old journeyman looked more comfortable in his second season under Head Coach Jon Gruden completing 22-of-26 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown. Carr found most of his […]

Tyrell Williams Has Big Night In Raiders Debut

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams shined as the team's WR1 in Monday night's victory over the Denver Broncos. His eight-yard touchdown opened the scoring on the team's first drive of the game as he finished the night securing 6-of-7 targets for 105 yards in his first game wearing the Silver and Black. Williams made […]

Josh Jacobs Notches Two Touchdowns In NFL Debut

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had an impressive NFL debut Monday versus a tough Broncos Defense, finishing the night with 85 rushing yards on 23 carries. He recorded his first career touchdown on a two-yard run late in the second quarter and followed that up with a powerful four-yard TD in the fourth. The […]

Madison Bumgarner Takes Tough No-Decision Monday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner missed out on a win in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates. Bumgarner pitched seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with five strikeouts. He left the game with his team up 4-2 but the Giants bullpen collapsed, allowing […]

Kenny Stills Has Late Touchdown

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in Monday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. That touchdown was a 37-yard catch with under a minute to play, which means Stills had an unimpressive line of two catches for no yards before that play. With Keke Coutee (ankle) […]

Will Fuller Has One Big Play In Week 1

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller caught a 54-yard pass in the first quarter of Monday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, but that was really the only highlight of his night. Fuller was targeted three times, catching two of the passes for 69 yards. His big-play ability makes him an intriguing play in standard […]

DeAndre Hopkins Grabs Pair Of Touchdowns

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had three drops in Monday's Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints, but that was where his struggles stopped. Hopkins caught eight passes in the game, with two of those going for touchdowns. His 13 targets were more than the other wide receivers -- Will Fuller, Kenny Stills, […]

Duke Johnson Solid In Week 1

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson put up a solid stat line in Houston's Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints, toting the ball nine times for 57 yards. He also added 33 receiving yards on four receptions. Johnson was second on the team in both targets and receptions, and while fantasy owners would […]

Carlos Hyde Looks Good In Texans Debut

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde played well in his first game with the team on Monday, rushing for 83 yards on 10 carries in Houston's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Hyde also added two receiving yards on one catch. Hyde had one more carry than teammate Duke Johnson, and it looks like the […]

Deshaun Watson Has Four Touchdowns Against Saints

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns on 20-for-30 passing in Monday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. He also added 40 rushing yards on four carries, including a rushing touchdown in the first half. While there were some miscues -- Watson threw an interception and was sacked six times […]

Wilmer Flores Homers in D-Backs Loss Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Wilmer Flores went 1-for-3 with his eighth home run of the year. Flores has been riding a hot streak recently, as he is now hitting .451 over his last 15 games with four doubles, six home runs, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored. He doesn't get enough playing time to be […]

Merrill Kelly Earns Loss Despite Quality Start Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly pitched well on Monday despite suffering the loss against the Mets. He earned his 13th quality start of the season in the loss, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings. Kelly has been very inconsistent all season long, and after posting […]

Keelan Doss Inactive Monday Night

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss is unsurprisingly inactive for Monday night's game versus the Broncos. Recently reacquired from the Jaguars practice squad yesterday, there was never a chance for the undrafted rookie to play in this game with no practice reps all week. There's a possibility Doss suits up in the team's Week 2 […]

Kyle Rudolph Not Involved In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was very quiet on Sunday, failing to haul in his only target in the 28-12 win. The Vikings held an early lead and featured a run-heavy attack all afternoon, which resulted in Kirk Cousins throwing just 10 times for 98 yards in the game. Though Rudolph played every offensive snap, […]

Alexander Mattison Efficient On Limited Touches

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison had himself a nice NFL debut, rushing nine times for 49 yards (5.4 YPC) in the Vikings 28-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Mattison didn't see any targets, but his nine attempts were an encouraging sign as he operated as Dalvin Cook's backup in a game dominated by […]

Darwin Thompson Catches One Pass

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson was a forgotten man in Sunday's 40-26 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thompson played one snap and caught one pass for three yards. The addition of LeSean McCoy has erased Thompson's value, so fantasy owners may want to consider dropping him. Thompson is going to have basically no […]

Kris Bryant Remains Out of the Lineup Monday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. He received a cortisone injection in his knee on Sunday, so he could sit on Tuesday or possibly Wednesday too. David Bote will draw the start at third base and bat eighth versus righty […]
