Duke Johnson Sees Drop In Usage

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson ended up seeing his role reduced in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson had six carries for 31 yards and failed to bring in his only target. With so many receiving options for the Texans, Johnson's value as a receiver is reduced, which means he needs rushing touches […]

George Kittle Takes Back Seat In Blowout

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle cradled his three targets for 54 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kittle’s receiving services weren’t needed in the blowout victory, as the Niners rushed for 259 yards.

Mason Crosby Converts All Kicking Attempts In Victory

Jimmy Graham Struggles Against Vikings

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

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.

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.

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.

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.
