Broncos Defense Holds Raiders To 17 Points, Does Little Else

The Denver Broncos defense was able to hold the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders to only 17 points in their Week 1 meeting on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to get the team a win to open the year, and they also did very little else to help fantasy managers.

Jalin Hyatt Blanked In NFL Debut

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt saw just one target, which he failed to reel in, in the team's 40-0 Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Darren Waller Struggles In Debut With Giants

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller was the only receiving option that did much of anything in the team's 40-0 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but his stat line was still nothing to write home about.

Wil Lutz Misses Field Goal And Extra Point

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz didn't endear himself to the Broncos faithful in his team debut in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. And in a game in which the Broncos lost by just one point by a score of 17-16, Lutz's missed field goal and missed extra point loomed […]

Graham Gano Puts Up Goose Egg In Week 1

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano had one kick blocked and missed on a second attempt in the team's 40-0 Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 36-year-old may not be to blame for either, as the snap on his miss wasn't perfect. He also did not get a chance to attempt an extra […]
