Jake Elliott Converts Five Extra Points In Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott converted all five of his extra point attempts during the team's 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. It was the first time this season the 27-year-old did not attempt a field goal, but Philadelphia had little trouble finding the end zone once they were in scoring range […]

Dallas Goedert Nabs All Six Targets, Gains 64 Yards
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught all six of his targets and gained 64 yards during the team's 35-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even when facing a Steelers defense who have held opposing tight ends in check, the 27-year-old posted a solid stat line for his fantasy managers. Goedert has been targeted six […]

Irv Smith Jr. To Have An MRI
Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (ankle) will need an MRI after injuring his ankle late in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Smith didn't impress in Week 8, amassing only four receptions for 28 yards. Overall, the 24-year-old hasn't done much on the fantasy end this season outside his two touchdown catches. While managers […]

Adam Thielen Has A Knee Contusion
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (knee) suffered a knee contusion during the win over the Cardinals on Sunday. Despite a brief exit due to the ailment, the veteran still caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards, one of his best showings of the year. Thielen has 10 receptions for 103 yards and […]

Brandin Cooks Leads Texans In Receiving In Week 8
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four passes for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He was targeted six times. With Nico Collins sidelined, Cooks was the only real weapon for quarterback Davis Mills, as no other player had more than 24 receiving yards. With rumors floating around that Cooks could be […]

Christian Watson, David Bakhtiari Officially Active
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are officially active ahead of Sunday night's meeting with the Bills. The rookie has missed his previous two games after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5. The Packers will need all the help they can get with Allen Lazard […]

Titans Defense Posts Three Sacks, One Interception
The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams unit was a solid play in Week 8 against a lackluster Texans offense, as it forced one turnover and sacked quarterback Davis Mills three times. Tennessee nearly held Houston to no touchdowns, but Dameon Pierce added a late score when the game was essentially out of reach. With a matchup […]

Dameon Pierce Catches Touchdown In Week 8
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce had gone over 80 rushing yards in four consecutive games entering Sunday's contest against the Titans, but Tennessee's defense was able to shut the rookie down on the ground. Pierce had 15 carries, but produced just 35 yards. His fantasy day was salvaged, though, when he was on the […]

Randy Bullock Makes One Of Two Field-Goal Attempts
Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock made just one of his two field goal attempts in the win over the Houston Texans. He made both of his extra point attempts set up by Derrick Henry touchdowns, but he ultimately was not a strong fantasy play in Week 8. The Titans' offense isn't explosive and head coach […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Game-Winner
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo scored 14 fantasy points in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The veteran kicker had struggled for fantasy players, scoring 10 total fantasy points over the previous three games. However, the former undrafted free-agent kicker made all three field goal attempts in Week 8, including a […]

Falcons Defense Scores A Touchdown
The Atlanta Falcons defense struggled in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. While Lorenzo Carter did have an interception he returned for a touchdown, the rest of the defense struggled. They had only one sack in the game and no other turnovers. Furthermore, Atlanta surrendered 30 or more points for the […]

Kyle Pitts Leads The Team In Receiving
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts had his best performance of the season in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The second-year tight end caught five of his season-high nine targets for 80 receiving yards in the win. More importantly, the former Florida Gator star found the end zone for the […]

Damiere Byrd Finds The End Zone
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Damiere Byrd scored a 47-yard touchdown in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The veteran receiver found the end zone for the second game in a row on Sunday after scoring a 75-yard touchdown in Week 7. More importantly, he had six targets in the game, only […]

Drake London Limited Against Panthers
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught four of his five targets in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie receiver had only 31 yards in the win and failed to find the end zone. Sunday marked the fourth game in a row where the former USC star had 40 […]

Austin Hooper Catches One Pass In Win
Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught just one pass for five yards in the 17-10 win over the Houston Texans. Rookie Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes, so no Titans' pass-catcher was fantasy-viable in Week 8. Hooper could have a better chance to produce against Kansas City next week in a top-10 matchup for […]

Mac Jones Posts Modest Line In Win Over Jets
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 24-of-35 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts. The 24-year-old threw a pick-six that was negated by a roughing the passer penalty in the first half that would have put the […]

Caleb Huntley Runs All Over Carolina
Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley led the team with 16 rushing attempts in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The young running back also had a team-high 91 rushing yards and averaged 5.7 yards per rushing attempt in the win. While he split the backfield work with the rookie Tyler […]

Tyler Allgeier Totals 85 Yards In Week 8
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier played a critical role in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie running back had 14 rushing attempts and three receptions in the win. He had 85 scrimmage yards in the game, averaging five yards per touch. While the former BYU star struggled on […]

Marcus Mariota Throws Three Touchdowns In Win
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota had three touchdowns in the 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The veteran quarterback completed 71.4% of his 28 pass attempts in the game, totaling 253 yards on the afternoon. After throwing a season-low 124 yards last week, the former Oregon star had arguably his best passing game […]

Davis Mills Struggles Against Titans
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 17-for-29 for 152 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans, throwing one touchdown while also getting picked off. Mills also added eight rushing yards. This was a juicy matchup against a Titans defense that has struggled to stop passing attacks, so the fact that Mills couldn't get it done […]

Robert Woods Catches Two Passes
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw 20 percent of rookie quarterback Malik Willis' targets, but that didn't amount to much when the team attempted just 10 passes. It was clear Tennessee was going to rely on running backs Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard to win this game with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) out, and that's […]

Dontrell Hilliard Totals 95 Yards In Win
Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard totaled 95 yards on nine touches, making him a decent deep league flex play for fantasy managers in a tough spot. Hilliard has been explosive and shown he can produce when given the chance, so he should be rostered in deep leagues, at least as Derrick Henry's handcuff. If […]

Derrick Henry Dominates Texans Again
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Houston Texans. He also added one reception for nine yards. This marked the fourth time in a row Henry has rushed for at least 200 yards and two touchdowns against Houston. Henry has held up […]

Malik Willis Posts Just 55 Passing Yards
Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes in the win over the Houston Texans, completing six of them for 55 yards and one interception. It's no surprise the Titans simply leaned on Derrick Henry, who posted 200-plus rushing yards and two-plus touchdowns for the fourth time in his last four games against the […]

Quinn Hughes Rejoins Canucks Practice
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (lower body) was back in practice Sunday, which is a big step towards returning to action. He has missed four games after picking up a lower-body injury. The team has struggled badly at the start of the season, but Hughes enjoyed fine form before getting hurt, averaging a point per […]

Amani Hooker Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 8
Tennessee Titans safety Amani Hooker (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Texans. He suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, finishing the game with one tackle. The 24-year-old has played well this season, totaling 22 tackles and one interception in four games leading up to Week 8. Hopefully, Hooker will be back […]

Matt Quatraro Hired As Royals Next Manager
The Kansas City Royals have found their new manager in Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro. The 48-year-old has been a popular name with at least seven clubs interviewing him for managerial vacancies in recent years. Quatraro has spent the last five seasons as the bench coach to Kevin Cash in Tampa Bay. He'll […]

Marcus Foligno Unavailable Sunday
Minnesota Wild winger Marcus Foligno will miss Sunday's matchup against the Blackhawks with an upper-body injury. He will be replaced in the lineup by Tyson Jost. Foligno has had a slow start to the season, with only one goal and two assists to show for his work in eight games, but he's a valuable member […]

Jonathan Taylor Returns To Week 8
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returned to Sunday's meeting against the Commanders. He briefly exited with an ankle injury and was considered questionable to return. However, Taylor had his ankle re-taped and seems to have avoided anything serious, much to the delight of fantasy managers. Still, managers should monitor the injury heading into […]

Brennen Davis To Miss The Rest Of Arizona Fall League
Chicago Cubs outfielder Brennen Davis (back) will miss the rest of the Arizona Fall League. This is not good news after Davis missed most of the season due to surgery on his legs. Luckily, this sounds like it's only back tightness, so hopefully it won't linger into Spring Training. The Cubs were expected to add […]
