Romeo Doubs Comes Down With Two Touchdowns Against Chicago

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught 4-of-5 targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns during the team's 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. The second-year receiver was questionable heading into the contest due to a hamstring injury, but it did not stop him from finding the end zone twice and being tied for […]

Alexander Mattison Inefficient But Catches Touchdown Pass

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison didn't have the best game on the ground in Week 1 as the team suffered a three-point loss to Tampa Bay. The Boise State product finished with 34 yards on 11 carries and 10 yards on three catches with a touchdown. His touchdown reception saved a lot of fantasy […]

Elijah Mitchell Finds Little Involvement In Season Opener

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell handled five carries for 10 yards and no catches on one target in Sunday's Week 1 win at the Pittsburgh Steelers. While fantasy managers understand that Mitchell is clearly secondary to Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco's offense, it would have been nice to see him average more than […]

Luke Musgrave Tallies 50 Yards In NFL Debut

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave caught 3-of-4 targets for 50 yards during the team's 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. The rookie was in for an increased workload due to the absence of Christian Watson (hamstring), and he produced a solid performance for fantasy managers who took a flier on him. Musgrave had […]

Irv Smith Jr. Has Three Catches In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. recorded three catches for 17 yards during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. Surprisingly, the former Viking was one of the Bengals' top producers in Week 1. However, considering Cincy accumulated only three points in this one, that's not saying much. Fantasy managers should at least be […]

Mack Hollins Grabs Three Receptions In Week 1 Win

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins saw a bit of action in the team's Week 1 win over the Panthers. He pulled in three catches on four targets while collecting 31 yards. That was good enough for the second-most yards on the team as the Falcons opted to go run-heavy with Tyler Allgeier and Bijan […]

Pablo Lopez Looks Excellent On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez was fantastic on the mound during Sunday's game against the New York Mets. The right-hander allowed two hits over eight shutout frames during Sunday's loss. Lopez set a new season-high for himself with 14 strikeouts during this contest. Sadly, Lopez didn't get any run support and has to settle […]

Zay Jones Surprises With 55 yards And A Touchdown Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars Wide Receiver Zay Jones hauled in five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts. It was a great day for the presumed No. 4 target Jacksonville's offense, as Jones was second on the team in targets with seven. His touchdown catch was one of the best plays of […]

Tyler Boyd Records Two Receptions In Loss

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd had two catches for 10 yards during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. In his defense, the Bengals offense scraped together just three points, so nobody on the roster did anything to benefit fantasy managers. Nonetheless, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain Joe Burrow's top targets. But Boyd […]

AJ Dillon Ineffective Against Chicago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon took 13 carries for 19 yards and caught 2-of-3 targets for an additional 17 yards during the team's 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. While teammate Aaron Jones had a fantastic performance Sunday, the Packers' No. 2 back was stonewalled repeatedly. Averaging just 1.5 yards per carry, Dillon […]

David Peralta Avoids Serious Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta (elbow) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. The left-handed slugger was removed from the game after getting hit by a pitch in the second inning. He underwent X-rays that came back negative, so fantasy managers should consider Peralta as day-to-day right now. Fantasy […]

New Orleans Saints Defense: Three Sacks, Three Interceptions In Week 1

The New Orleans Saints defense put together a solid showing on Sunday in the 16-15 victory against the Tennessee Titans. The team intercepted Ryan Tannehill three times, and also sacked him three times. Marcus Maye, Marshon Lattimore, and Paulson Adebo all hauled in picks. The team did not give up a single touchdown, surrendering five […]

Tee Higgins Fails To Catch A Pass On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was targeted eight times in the Week 1 loss to the Cleveland Browns. However, he was held without a catch. To be fair, the weather wasn't the best, and Joe Burrow had some residual rust after missing nearly all of training camp with a calf injury. Without a doubt, […]

Blake Grupe Has A Perfect Debut

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe started his season off strong with a 16-15 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Notre Dame product went 3-for-3 on field goals and was also perfect (1-for-1) on extra points. Grupe banged through a 52-yarder in the third quarter, rounding out his perfect kicking debut. He should be […]

Christian Kirk Puts Up Near-Dud In Week 1 At Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk recorded only one catch for nine yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts. It was an incredibly disappointing output for last year's WR12, as Kirk only received three total targets in the game. First-year Jag Calvin Ridley stole the show with eight catches on 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. […]

Juwan Johnson: Three Catches In Win

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson was targeted five times in the 16-15 Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. Johnson grabbed three receptions for 36 yards, operating as New Orleans' top tight end. Johnson appears to be behind Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, and Rashid Shaheed in the pecking order right now in terms […]

Chris Olave Clears 100 Yards In Week 1

New Orleans Saints second-year receiver Chris Olave showed out in the 16-15 Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. Olave was targeted 10 times (30% target share), hauling in eight receptions for 112 yards. He briefly left the game, but quickly re-entered to put together a strong performance operating as the go-to target for quarterback […]

Jordan Love Boasts Strong Performance In Season Opener

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 15-of-27 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns, adding three carries for 12 yards, during the team's 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. In his first year as the Packers starter, the 24-year-old continued the tradition of routing the division rival Bears to open the regular season. The […]

Michael Thomas Looks Good In Return

New Orleans Saints veteran receiver Michael Thomas was back on the field Sunday after missing a large amount of the past two seasons with various injuries. Thomas was targeted eight times, grabbing five receptions for 61 yards. He had a 24% target share in the Week 1 victory over Tennessee. Thomas moved like his old […]

Rashid Shaheed Breaks Out In Win

New Orleans Saints second-year wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had an explosive performance in Week 1, scoring the lone touchdown of the game. Shaheed hauled in five receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown and added two carries for 11 yards on the ground. The speedy receiver looks to be third in the pecking order for […]

Alec Pierce Non-Existent In Season Opener

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce didn't see many opportunities during the team's season-opening loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The young wideout only caught one ball for five yards and was targeted three times in this contest. Pierce was fifth in the pecking order in terms of targets and he wasn't able to turn it […]

Jamaal Williams: Inefficient Week 1 Outing

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams operated as a workhorse on Sunday's 16-15 Week 1 victory with Kendre Miller (ankle) and Alvin Kamara (suspension) inactive. Williams carried the ball 18 yards but gained just 45 yards. He added two receptions for seven yards, pulling together a largely inefficient first game in a Saints uniform. […]

Brock Purdy Throws Two Touchdowns In Opener

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led his team to a Week 1 victory at the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Purdy completed 19-of-29 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. He also added three carries for 20 yards but lost a fumble. Both of his touchdowns were thrown to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, one of […]

Ja'Marr Chase Held To 39 Receiving Yards In Loss

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had five catches for 39 yards during the loss to the Browns in Week 1. Likely, every fantasy manager with Chase in the lineup was highly disappointed with his performance, considering he was targeted nine times and didn't find the end zone. In all fairness, the weather didn't help, […]

Ranger Suarez Strikes Out 10 In No-Decision

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez was dominant throughout most of his start versus the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The left-hander allowed three runs on two hits over 6.1 innings of work here. Suarez allowed three walks, but also struck out a season-high 10 batters during this game. He was cruising until the seventh inning […]

Derek Carr Tops 300 Yards In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr led his team to a 16-15 victory in Week 1 over the Tennessee Titans. Carr completed 23-of-33 passes for 305 yards, connecting with Rashid Shaheed on a 19-yard touchdown pass and also throwing an interception. The veteran added three carries for four yards. Carr looked poised in the pocket […]

Christian McCaffrey Explodes For Huge Day In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey went off in Sunday's season opener at the Pittsburgh Steelers. McCaffrey finished the day with 22 carries for 152 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown scamper. He also hauled in three catches on five targets for 17 yards. Fantasy managers have to be thrilled with the heavy usage in […]

Kylen Granson Catches Four Passes Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson saw six targets in a pass-heavy game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The 25-year-old finished with 39 yards while hauling in four of his six targets. He ended up with the second-most receiving yards on the team while his fellow tight end, Mo Alie-Cox, only saw two […]

Philadelphia Defense Snags Pick-Six In Victory Over Patriots

The Philadelphia Eagles defense recorded two sacks, an interception that was returned for a touchdown, and held New England to 20 points in their victory over the Patriots in the season opener. It looked like the Eagles' defense would take the game over early after Darius Slay took an interception 70 yards to the house […]

Tylor Megill Throws Five Scoreless Innings

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill looked good during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander allowed two hits and four walks over five shutout innings during Sunday's victory. Megill struggled with his command, but was able to get through the threats without any damage. Megill has now allowed three or fewer runs […]
