Wan'Dale Robinson Flashes Big-Play Ability in Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson had a monster game in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching eight of 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown. Robinson has always been a consistent target-earner, but he's typically struggled to be efficient from a yardage perspective (career 8.7 yards per reception). It's been a […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall caught four passes for 56 receiving yards in the team's 26-21 win over the Saints on Sunday. His Week 2 yardage was just shy of half his total from Week 1, but he was readily involved in the passing attack, with his six targets ranking third on the […]

Mason Taylor Can't Cash in on Jets' TE1 Role

As expected, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is far and away the team's TE1, although it hasn't amounted to much on the stat sheet. After leading teammates Jeremy Ruckert and Andrew Beck in snaps by a wide margin in their loss to the Steelers in Week 1, the same was true in their […]

Russell Wilson Set for Extended Run as Giants QB1 After Monster Week 2 Performance?

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson was one of the stars of Week 2, completing 30 of 41 pass attempts for 450 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.

Backfield Battle Brewing for Braelon Allen?

New York Jets second-year running back Braelon Allen took a step back in Week 2 regarding his share of offensive snaps. The Buffalo Bills manhandled the Jets to the tune of 30-10 at home, and whether it was due to game script or by design, Allen handled a significantly smaller snap total than in Week […]

Romeo Doubs Looks Like the WR1 in Green Bay, In Line for More Targets Going Forward?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs appears to be the team's WR1 early in the season, particularly with wideout Jayden Reed (clavicle) set to miss multiple months with a fractured collarbone. Doubs leads Packers wide receivers in both receiving yards (96) and targets (nine). Green Bay operates with a run-heavy approach and still has […]

On the heels of a dynamic receiving performance, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is a top-12 fantasy option at his position through the first two weeks of the season. The fourth-year pro hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. While his efficiency on the […]

Breece Hall Runs Cold in Week 2 Shellacking - Rebound on Tap?

The 24-year-old exploded for 107 rushing yards in the team's season opener, notching his first 100-yard effort on the ground since Week 6 of last season. However, Buffalo's defense proved too much for quarterback Justin Fields, who seemed […]

Carson Wentz Set Up for Success in Minnesota?

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz appears to have a multi-game runway as the team's starter, with Minnesota QB1 J.J. McCarthy (ankle) set to miss two to four weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Grounded: Garrett Wilson, Jets' Offense Stall After Week 1 Outburst

After an encouraging Week 1 performance, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the remainder of the offense came crashing back to Earth in their 30-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills.

It's only Week […]
