Jakobi Meyers Debuts With 22 Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught one pass for 22 yards in the Patriots 33-3 win over the Steelers in Week 1. The rookie dominated the headlines in training camp and was able to contribute right out of the gate. Meyers has earned the trust of the coaching staff but could be looking […]

Josh Gordon Catches Touchdown In Blowout

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught three passes for 73 yards and one touchdown in the team's 33-3 stomping of the Steelers in Week 1. Gordon got the Patriots on the board with an excellent 20-yard catch for a touchdown in a game that was over after the first quarter. Gordon has all […]

Julian Edelman Torches Steelers In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught six passes for 83 yards in the team's 33-3 win over the Steelers in Week 1. Edelman produced on the field like he always has throughout his career, making back-breaking catches for first downs from the slot position. The veteran was open consistently throughout the game and […]

Phillip Dorsett Shines With Two Touchdowns

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett caught four passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the team's blowout win over the Steelers in Week 1. Dorsett caught a beautiful pass from quarterback Tom Brady in the first half and added another score in the second half. Dorsett clearly has chemistry with Brady but […]

Sony Michel Disappoints With 14 Rushing Yards

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball a team-high 15 times for only 14 yards in the team's 33-3 win over the Steelers in Week 1. The Patriots offense dominated but Michel remained bottled up the entire game. Even when the game was out of control, the second-year running back failed to […]

James White Tallies 82 Total Yards In Romp

New England Patriots running back James White caught five passes for 56 yards and added 26 rushing yards in the team's 33-3 romp over the Steelers in Week 1. The Patriots offense was humming straight from the start and White provided a vintage supply of production in the passing game. The Patriots alternated between White, […]

Rex Burkhead Leads Patriots With 44 Rushing Yards

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead carried the ball eight times for 44 yards in the team's 33-3 blowout win over the Steelers in Week 1. Burkhead also added five catches for 41 yards in a highly active performance. Plenty of buzz out of training camp led fantasy owners to believe that teammate Sony […]

Tom Brady Carves Up Steelers

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 24 of 36 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots 33-3 romp over the Steelers in Week 1. The 42-year-old was sharp right out of the gate, slicing and dicing his way to an early 20-0 lead. The Steelers Defense had zero answers for the […]

Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram Chalk Up More Sacks

Los Angeles Chargers defenders Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram make up one of the best one-two punches in the game, and they were back at it on Sunday when they both opened the new season with a sack apiece. Especially with safety Derwin James on the sideline, Bosa, Ingram, and the other boys up front […]

Hunter Henry Looks Quite Reliable

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry didn't do anything flashy in Week 1, but he was just what Philip Rivers was missing. Rivers is surrounded by guys who can take any touch to the house, but ever since tight end Antonio Gates hung up his cleats, he's needed someone who could be depended on […]

Keenan Allen Dominates Indy

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen ripped the Indy defense for eight receptions and 123 yards on Sunday, including an incredible touchdown catch where he fought off double coverage to haul in the ball. Allen was having a monster training camp before a mild ankle injury allowed him to rest for the last few […]

Justin Jackson Gashes Colts In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson was used as the change-of-pace back for Austin Ekeler in the team's first game of the season, and he seemed to fill those shoes without a problem. Jackson racked up 57 yards on just six carries, averaging 9.5 YPC, and it seemed like he never got touched until […]

Austin Ekeler Stars In Week 1 Win

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler looked like a star in the making in the team's Week 1 win over the Colts. Concerns about Ekeler being able to handle being the feature back seemed blown out of proportion as Ekeler rushed the ball 12 times for 58 yards and totaled another 96 yards on […]

Philip Rivers Throws For 333 Yards In OT Win

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed 73.5% of his passes in Week 1 to lead the Chargers to a win over the Colts in overtime. Rivers finished with 333 yards, three TDs, and one interception in a game that was a lot closer than expected. Rivers was slinging the ball all around the field, […]

Jason Myers Drills Three Extra Points In Win

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers wasn't put in any high-pressure game-winning field goal situations during the team's Week 1 win against Cincinnati, but his perfect day on extra points proved to be critical since the team only squeaked out the win by one point. The former Pro Bowler should get plenty of opportunities with the […]

Tyler Lockett Catches One Pass, Wins Game

Perhaps he didn't truly "win" the entire game for the team, but Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett did score the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Lockett was silent for the entire game until he got behind the defense late in Seattle's Week 1 game, and quarterback Russell […]

D.K. Metcalf Fantastic In Debut

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf certainly lived up to all the hype in his first NFL game. Metcalf led the Seahawks by hauling in 89 yards on four receptions including two very nifty grabs that set up critical touchdowns. Metcalf was mostly considered a workout warrior after his incredible NFL Combine performance this spring, […]

Rashaad Penny Sees Minimal Action

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny made some appearances as a change-of-pace back on Sunday, but he didn't change the pace in any way. Instead, Penny rushed for an average of 3.0 YPC by totaling 18 yards on six carries (starter Chris Carson also averaged 3.0 YPC), and he wasn't targeted a single time through […]

Chris Carson Scores Two TDs Against Cincy

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson struggled mightily on the ground for the majority of the team's Week 1 win against the Bengals, but he showed that the coaching staff's new passing plans have some real potential. Carson would finish with 46 yards and a score on the ground, but it took one big run […]

Russell Wilson Throws For Two Touchdowns

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson posted another solid day in the team's Week 1 win against the Bengals. Wilson was accurate but unspectacular as he completed 70% of his passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The offense in general was terrible at the start of the game, but in true Seahawks […]

Quinton Jefferson, D-Line Shine For Seattle

Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson easily had his best game as a member of the team on Sunday when he racked up two sacks, three QB hits, and two pass deflections in Seattle's win against Cincy. Jefferson came up huge in big situations, deflecting one of those passes on a critical third down. His […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injures Toe In Loss To Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) got rolled up on late in the blowout Week 1 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night, but expects to be ready to go in Week 2 at home against the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster caught six of his eight targets for 78 scoreless yards in the season opener. He […]

Jaylen Samuels Quiet Against Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels received just two carries for four yards, while catching one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 33-3 loss to the Patriots. For as long as Pittsburgh was behind, it was surprising that Samuels didn't see more action in the passing game. The Steelers' offense couldn't get anything […]

Devante Parker Provides Much of Dolphins Offense

There was optimism that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker would become more of a focal point in the offense with the trade of Kenny Stills but that wasn't the case at the beginning of a 59-10 blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 1. Parker wasn't targeted for the first time until the beginning […]

James Conner Garners 14 Touches In Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner took 10 carries for 21 yards and four receptions for 44 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Conner got taken out of the game plan early as the Steelers couldn't move the ball at all. The most consistent workload the 24-year-old received all evening was just before halftime […]

Ben Roethlisberger Shoots A Blank Against Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went 27 of 47 for 276 yards and an interception in Sunday night's 33-3 loss to the Patriots. The 37-year-old looked out of sync all evening, although his receivers did drop a few passes. Overall, the Steelers looked awful in their season opener, and Roethlisberger ultimately is the scapegoat. Things don't […]

Devin Funchess Suffers Broken Collarbone

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Devin Funchess suffered an injury during the team's Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It was announced later in the evening that it was a broken collarbone. He'll likely require surgery and possibly be done for the remainder of the season as a result.

Hector Neris Earns 24th Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed two hits but was able to nail down his 24th save of the season Sunday at the Mets. He allowed two of the first three batters faced to reach base which brought Pete Alonso up as the tying run. Neris was up for the challenge, however, and struck […]

Shin-Soo Choo Has Big Game Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went 3-for-6 with a run and two RBI against the Orioles on Sunday. Choo has quietly posted a good season for fantasy owners batting .265 with 21 home runs, and 82 runs scored in 136 games. Where Choo really shines in fantasy is leagues that reward on-base percentage or give […]

Nick Solak Continues To Mash MLB Pitching

Texas Rangers rookie second baseman Nick Solak went 3-for-4 with four RBI in a win over the Orioles Sunday. Solak also walked twice and scored a run in the one-sided affair in Baltimore. The rookie has been simply phenomenal in his brief stint in the Majors slashing .333/.451/.524 with 13 runs scored and 11 RBI […]
