Drake London Has Five Receptions In Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was questionable heading into the Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints because of a knee injury. However, the first-round rookie receiver pulled in five of his seven targets for 74 receiving yards, leading the team in all three categories. Despite facing a talented New Orleans defense, London […]

James Robinson Scores Two Touchdowns In Return From Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson combined for 69 yards from scrimmage on 12 total touches while scoring two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. The former undrafted running back played in his first game on Sunday since Week 16 of last season after suffering a torn Achilles. Robinson led all running backs […]

Robbie Anderson Has Big Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson turned eight targets into five receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 1 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Anderson was involved early and often, but the bulk of his fantasy points came from a 75-yard score on a deep ball from Baker Mayfield in the […]

DJ Moore Quiet In Week 1 Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore hauled in three of six targets for 43 yards and added a seven-yard carry in the team's 26-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Panthers struggled to get anything going early on, but it was Robbie Anderson that eventually made a fantasy impact as quarterback Baker Mayfield hit him […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores In Week 1 Loss

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 10 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown, adding four receptions for 24 yards on four targets in a Week 1 loss to the Cleveland Browns. It was a modest performance for McCaffrey, but he still managed to finish second on the team in receptions and saw all […]

Baker Mayfield Scores Twice, Falls Just Short Of Victory

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 16 of his 27 passing attempts for 235 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his regular-season debut against the Cleveland Browns. He also added a rushing touchdown and six rushing yards. Mayfield and the Panthers struggled early but fought their way back in the second half. He connected […]

Miles Sanders Impressive In Victory Over Detroit

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders carried the ball 13 times for 96 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for nine yards. The fourth-year back did share the load with teammates Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott, but he was the clear lead-ball carrier of the three. Sanders was explosive, averaging 7.4 yards per carry. […]

X-rays Negative On Mac Jones

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back) was injured during the loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Fortunately, X-rays were negative, although he'll undergo further testing once the team returns to Foxborough. The Pats will next head to Pittsburgh for Week 2. But if Jones can't play, Brian Hoyer is the favorite to replace him. […]

D.J. Chark Scores Touchdown In Lions Debut

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark caught four of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Chark was only behind Amon-Ra St. Brown on the target log, so he could be playable moving forward, especially in deeper leagues. He's unlikely to beat T.J. Hockenson in targets every […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Finishes With Over 100 Rushing Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson had an impressive performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The veteran had 22 rushing attempts for 120 yards and a touchdown. Patterson also added three receptions on five targets for 16 yards in the passing game. With Damien Williams suffering a rib injury early in the […]

Harrison Butker Returns Against Cards

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) returned to Sunday's season-opener against the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran had to be carted off the field early in the contest, making it appear he was done for the game. However, Butker made his way back and drained a 54-yard boot before the end of the first half. […]

Nico Collins Quiet In Week 1

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins could still have the breakout season that many predicted him to have, but Week 1 didn't start out well for Collins. He caught just two passes for 26 yards and was targeted three times. Collins finished fifth on the team in receiving yards and had as many targets as […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains Top Receiving Target

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown picked up where he left off last year, catching eight of his 12 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. The yardage wasn't impressive, but drawing 12 targets is a sign for things to come. He's locked into the No.1 WR role in Detroit until further notice, and […]

O.J. Howard Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard caught a pair of touchdowns in his debut for the team. That might sound like it makes him a top waiver priority at a shallow position, but the fact that Howard was only targeted twice—catching both for 38 yards—makes him a risky option going forward. The Texans like to […]

Marcus Mariota Totals 215 Passing Yards In Defeat

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota was solid in his season debut. The former Oregon Duck had 33 pass attempts, completing 20 for 215 yards and no touchdowns. While his passing numbers are disappointing, Mariota added 72 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown on 12 attempts. Furthermore, he completed passes to seven different players, […]

Jamaal Williams Scores Two Rushing Touchdowns

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams rushed 11 times for 28 yards and two touchdowns and caught one pass for two yards. His day yielded 15 fantasy points in standard leagues and 16 fantasy points in PPR. Those who started Williams were rewarded, but it's tough to depend on only touchdowns for fantasy production. He'll […]

Trevor Lawrence Totals 279 Yards In Week 1 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of his 42 pass attempts for 275 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, along with four rushing yards on two carries. The second-year quarterback out of Clemson got off to a slow start in the game, but he found his rhythm in the second half as the Jaguars […]

Brandin Cooks Targeted 12 Times

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks showed that he's still Houston's top threat in the passing game on Sunday. In the Week 1 tie with the Colts, Cooks led the team in targets, receptions and yards, hauling in seven passes for 82 yards. He was targeted 12 times. No other wide receiver on the team […]

Keenan Allen Questionable To Return Against Vegas

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran was having a fantastic outing before the injury, catching all four of his targets for 66 yards. Nonetheless, if Allen can't make it back in Week 1, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler, and DeAndre […]

Dameon Pierce Quiet In NFL Debut

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce had 11 carries for 33 yards in Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Colts. He was targeted once in the passing game, catching that pass for a six-yard reception. After a preseason that saw the hype for Pierce skyrocket, it was Rex Burkhead who led this backfield in […]

D'Andre Swift Totals 175 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift rushed 15 times for 144 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately for Swift's fantasy managers, Jamaal Williams scored two goal-line touchdowns, but Swift was the far more efficient runner at 9.6 yards per carry and added […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Done For Rest Of Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Titans. The 21-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft but was expected to immediately play a prominent role in the offense this season. Unfortunately, Robinson finished with only one catch for five yards, so […]

Rex Burkhead Leads Texans Backfield

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead carried the ball 14 times in Sunday's tie with the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with 40 yards on the ground. He was targeted eight times in the pass game, catching five balls for 30 yards. There were questions about how this backfield would shake out between Burkhead and Dameon Pierce, […]

Davis Mills Throw Pair Of Touchdowns In Week 1

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills had a solid showing in Sunday's tie against the Colts. Mills was 23-for-37 for 240 yards with two touchdown passes. He didn't throw a pick, though he did lose a fumble. Mills is definitely a work in progress at this point, but there were some flashes on Sunday. He's not […]

Jared Goff Throws Two Touchdowns In Opener

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a respectable 19.5 fantasy points in the loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Goff connected on 21-of-37 passing attempts for 215 yards and two passing touchdowns to one interception. The Lions' offense showed some life against what is expected to be a strong Eagles defense, so Goff could be worth […]

Harrison Butker Injures Ankle On Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) suffered an ankle injury early in the Week 1 matchup versus Arizona. He had to be carted off the field. Fortunately, he came back to the field and was seen standing on the sidelines. However, Butker has been ruled out for the rest of the game, leaving Andy […]

Ja'Wuan James Tears Achilles

Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James (Achilles) was carted off the field during the Week 1 matchup against the Jets. The team was already without Ronnie Stanley (ankle), who is still recovering from surgery. However, with James tearing his Achilles, the team suffered another tough blow to the unit responsible for protecting Lamar Jackson, a […]

Nelson Velazquez Remains Out On Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Nelson Velazquez (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was a late scratch on Friday due to a non-COVID related illness. Possibly, the Cubs decided to have him sit out due to the fact a right-hander pitcher is on the mound. Ian Happ, […]

Mac Jones Suffers Back Injury In Week 1

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back) was injured during the season-opening loss to Miami on Sunday. Jones finished Week 1 by throwing for 213 yards and one touchdown (one pick) off 21-for-30 passing. However, more importantly, the team didn't make the signal-caller available to reporters post-game, citing a back issue. Nonetheless, there should be […]

Ryan Helsley Collects 16th Save

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley struggled, but was able to hold off the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. The right-hander was brought in during the ninth inning to protect a two-run game. The 28-year-old allowed one run, but was able to escape with his 16th save of the season. He has now converted 16 […]
