Eric Ebron Is Silenced in Week 1

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron was an elite tight end last season. During Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, he had just one catch for eight yards. Last season, a lot of his value was tied to his ability to score touchdowns. He nearly came down with one in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, […]

Amari Cooper Catches a Touchdown and Gains Over 100 Yards

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had a strong opening to the season in Week 1, catching six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught his three targets for 17 yards in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also coughed up a fumble battling for extra yards and converted a two-point conversion.

Jack Doyle Is Invisible in Week 1

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle had his breakout season with quarterback Jacoby Brissett at the helm two seasons ago. In the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the same connection was not there. Doyle had just two targets. He caught one of them for 20 yards. His numbers weren't expected to be […]

Andy Dalton Has Record-Setting Performance

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was productive despite his team falling to the Seahawks on Sunday, going 35-for-51 for two touchdowns and a career-high 418 yards.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard received 13 carries in his first NFL game in Week 1.

Demaryius Thomas Inactive Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is inactive for Week 1 on Sunday night against the Steelers.

T.Y. Hilton Plays Outstanding in Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton had a difficult matchup in Week 1. That didn't stop him though, as he racked up eight catches on nine targets for 87 yards and two touchdowns.

Derrick Henry Leads Titans To Win

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was productive during the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Henry was active all-around, running for 84 yards and a touchdown off of 19 carries in addition to a lone reception for 75 yards and a score in the third quarter. The 25-year-old, who had 13 total end […]

Mike Leake Pitches Well in Arizona Loss Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Mike Leake recorded his second quality start in his last three outings on Sunday, as he allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out three over 6 1/3 innings against the Reds. While it's nice to see Leake pitching well after a rough start to his Arizona career, owners shouldn't put […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a favorable game script in Week 1 with the team playing from behind for much of their overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He had four carries for 13 yards to go with four catches for four yards. During his rookie season, Hines did his damage in […]

Marcus Mariota Has Solid Day In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota went 12-for-24 for 248 yards and three touchdowns in the upset win over the Browns on Sunday.

Josh Reynolds Silent in Rams Victory

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds had zero receptions on two targets in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Expect […]

Brandin Cooks Mostly Silent During Rams Victory

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught two passes on six targets for 29 yards in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. While some of Sunday’s struggles can be attributed to the Rams relying more on the running game and Goff having only 186 passing yards, Cooks’ lack of receptions and yardage […]

Patrick Mahomes Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 1 blowout win over the Jaguars, according to head coach Andy Reid. Mahomes looked to be limping at one point in the game, but he stayed in the game, so it doesn't seem like this is a significant injury. The electric […]

Robert Woods Solid In Week 1 Performance

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught eight passes on 13 targets for 80 yards in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Woods was the clear WR1 during Week 1, leading the team in targets, receptions and yards on an afternoon where quarterback Jared Goff only had 186 passing yards. Expect the […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught seven passes on 10 targets for 46 yards in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Baker Mayfield Has A Bruised Wrist

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (wrist) suffered a bruised wrist in the Week 1 loss to the Titans and underwent X-rays at the stadium before having his right wrist taped.

Mike Williams Suffers Knee Injury Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) suffered a knee injury late in the second half in Week 1 against the Colts and is questionable to return.

Harrison Butker Notches Four Field Goals

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had himself an excellent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Butker is already known as one of the better kicker in the league, but he proved that point on Sunday. He knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in this contest. Butker scored 16 points […]

Jimmy Smith's Injury Isn't Season-Ending

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that cornerback Jimmy Smith's (knee) right knee injury isn't season-ending. "It does not look like that at all. I’m sure he’ll get an MRI tomorrow. We’ll just see if it’s days, or weeks or what. We’ll know tomorrow after we get the MRI," Harbaugh said. Smith might not […]
