Los Angeles Chargers safety Adrian Phillips (forearm) suffered a broken forearm in the Week 2 loss to the Lions and is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, according to a league source.

Drew Brees To Undergo Surgery on Thumb

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will get surgery as early as Monday on his injured thumb and could miss up to six weeks. This is obviously a crushing blow for the veteran signal-caller's fantasy value and a massive blow to the Saints offense in general. Teddy Bridgewater was serviceable in a tough spot on […]

Christian Vazquez Homers Twice

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez finished 2-for-4 with two home runs and five runs batted in during Sunday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia.

Brandon Workman Nails Down 14th Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brandon Workman struck out one and walked one to earn his 14th save in Sunday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia. Four of his last five appearances have resulted in a save, and he hasn't allowed a run over his last seven innings pitched. This is all a bit of a late […]

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello lasted five innings, while allowing two runs on five hits, one walk, and six strikeouts in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Rhys Hoskins Homers To Extend Hitting Streak

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and two runs scored Sunday against the Red Sox. A second-inning homer off Rick Porcello extended Hoskins' hit streak to seven games, though this was only the second multi-hit game during the streak. It was also the first homer for […]

Shin-Soo Choo Posts Three-Hit Game

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went 3-for-3 in a loss to the A's Sunday afternoon. The Rangers offense could get nothing going against Sean Manaea except for Choo who continued a hot September. Choo is batting .314 this month with seven runs scored and eight RBI in only 12 games this month. Despite the solid […]

Emmanuel Sanders Heavily Targeted In Loss

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders pulled in 11 of his 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown during the Week 2 loss to the Bears. It was Sanders’ second game in a row in which he has scored while also accounting for both of quarterback Joe Flacco’s touchdowns on the year. He will […]

Phillip Lindsay Continues Timeshare

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay finished with 36 yards on 13 attempts to go along with four receptions (seven targets) for 30 yards. The 25-year-old continues to split carries with fellow running back Royce Freeman, who took away 11 potential carries while eating up some targets from quarterback Joe Flacco. Until either man demonstrates […]

Royce Freeman Continues To Split Time

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman rushed for 54 yards on 11 carries during the loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. As usual, Freeman split carries once again with Phillip Lindsay, who rushed for 36 yards on 13 attempts, with both men also combining for nine receptions. Unless there is an injury, expect both […]

Joe Flacco Unable To Guide Denver To Win

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco went 35-for-50 for 292 yards and a touchdown, connecting with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders late in the fourth quarter in the loss to the Bears. The veteran, who played just nine games in 2018 while still a member of the Baltimore Ravens, is posting a 69.1 completion percentage and 91.6 […]

Austin Hooper Cools Off Against Philly

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had just four receptions for 34 yards during the Week 2 win over the Eagles. After pulling in all nine of his looks against the Vikings in Week 1, Hooper cooled off and was barely targeted on Sunday night despite quarterback Matt Ryan throwing the ball 43 times. Hooper […]

Calvin Ridley Shines Again

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley pulled in eight receptions (10 targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown during the Week 2 victory over the Eagles. It was yet another promising showing for the sophomore wideout as he has now recorded 12 receptions and two scores on the year. Look for him to continue to […]

Julio Jones Leads Falcons To Win

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones pulled in just five of his 10 targets on Sunday against the Eagles, but still finished with 106 yards and two scores, including catching a 54-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter.

Devonta Freeman Quiet On The Ground

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman rushed for just 22 yards on 11 attempts during the Week 2 showdown with the Eagles, but he attempted to offset those numbers by pulling in three receptions for 42 yards. Nonetheless, it was still a relatively disappointing showing for the 27-year-old who has rushed for just 41 yards […]

Matt Ryan Has Seesaw Game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had an up-and-down game on Sunday night against the Eagles. Despite throwing for 320 yards and three touchdowns, the veteran also tossed three picks that nearly led to Atlanta’s second loss of the season. Nonetheless, Ryan was able to shine when it counted most and connected on a 54-yard touchdown […]

John Brown Leads Team In Targets

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown pulled in seven of his eight targets for 72 yards in the win over the Giants. For the second week in a row, Brown led the team in looks from quarterback Josh Allen. He should be on the radar in all fantasy leagues, regardless of format, as Brown and […]

Cole Beasley Leads Bills In Yardage

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley hauled in all four of his targets for 83 yards during the win over the Giants on Sunday. It was another relatively productive outing for Beasley, who has served as quarterback Josh Allen’s No. 2 receiving option behind John Brown by compiling nine receptions (13 targets) over the first […]

Frank Gore Adds Another Touchdown To Resume

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore was the team’s leading rusher during the Week 2 win over the Giants. While Devin Singletary got some touches, finishing with six runs for 57 yards and a touchdown, the 36-year-old also left a favorable impression by logging 19 carries for 68 yards and a score of his own. […]

Jason Myers Misses 58-Yarder

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers officially missed his first field goal attempt of the season on Sunday, but it was a 58-yarder, so no one's too upset. Myers did knock down a 46-yard kick in the second quarter, but it was negated by a penalty on Pittsburgh and later turned into a touchdown a couple […]

Will Dissly Hauls In Two Touchdowns

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had a big day on Sunday as he brought down a pair of touchdowns against the Steelers. The second-year player generated some excitement last season before he went down with an injury, and he's already been on a couple injury reports this year but this is his potential. Dissly's […]

Josh Allen Leads Team To Second Win

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was productive during the Week 2 win over the Giants. Allen was efficient across the board on Sunday, throwing for 253 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 21 yards and a score on seven attempts. The sophomore has been impactful during his tenure in Buffalo and became the […]
