David Njoku Goes For 39 Yards In Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught all three of his targets for 39 yards in a 15-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Njoku was quiet for most of the way before reeling in all three of his catches on Cleveland's second to last drive of the game. The veteran tight end […]

O.J. Howard, Cameron Brate Quiet In Loss To Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight ends O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate failed to produce anything of note in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Both Howard and Brate were relied upon more with Rob Gronkowski (back) ruled out with spasms, though neither managed to exceed 20 receiving yards. Brate and Howard split the targets relatively evenly in […]

Broncos Defense Steps Up Against Washington

The Denver Broncos defense had an impressive performance in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8 on Sunday. And they did it without star linebacker Von Miller (ankle), who was held out after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Not only did they allow […]

Austin Hooper Catches Four Passes In Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught four of six targets for 26 yards in a 15-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Hooper got off to a quick start, hauling in two balls on Cleveland's first drive of the game, but was mostly quiet the rest of the way. The veteran tight […]

Cyril Grayson Hauls In Long Touchdown Reception

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Cyril Grayson broke off a big play in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. The 27-year-old Grayson took advantage of a miscommunication with the Saints' defense- as he broke free down the field for a 50-yard score from Tom Brady. The LSU product saw two targets last week as he helped […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Gets Eight Attempts

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson got back into the gameplan against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8. The rookie running back saw eight carries for 25 yards and hauled in one pass for five yards in the win. He was a healthy scratch last week and wasn't able to prove his worth […]

Brandon McManus Misses His First Kick Of 2021

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus missed his first kick (a 53-yard field-goal attempt) of the season in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8. McManus made his other three kicking opportunities, though -- a 45-yard field goal and two extra points. The 30-year-old has one of the strongest legs in the […]

Tyler Johnson Tallies 65 Yards In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson filled in nicely for the injured Antonio Brown (ankle) in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Johnson set season-highs in receptions and yards, even breaking off a big play, a 31-yard reception. The 23-year-old will head back to a bench role after the team's Week 9 bye- with Brown […]

Damien Harris Gets 23 Carries Against Chargers

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris, as expected, saw a heavy workload during the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Harris rushed 23 times for 80 yards and one touchdown in the win. Those 23 carries tied a season-high for Harris, who hasn't seen that significant of a workload since the season […]

Mike Evans Salvages Day With Long Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans struggled against the coverage of Marshon Lattimore but managed to break free for a long touchdown in Sunday's defeat to New Orleans. Evans had just one reception for seven yards against old nemesis Lattimore but beat the star corner deep for a 41-yard touchdown reception from Tom Brady. […]

Noah Fant Overshadowed By Albert Okwuegbunam On Sunday

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had his worst game of the 2021 season in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8 on Sunday. Fant was tied for the team lead with four targets, but he caught just two of them for a season-low eight yards. Backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam […]

Mac Jones Has Lackluster Week 8 Outing

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones threw for over 300 yards for the first time in his career coming into this Week 8 matchup. Sadly, the rookie quarterback did not have the same success against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Jones completed 18-of-35 passing attempts for 218 yards and didn't throw a touchdown or […]

Chris Godwin Records Season-High 140 Yards, Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin caught eight of 12 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in a loss to New Orleans. With fellow receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) sidelined again and Mike Evans blanketed by the coverage of Marshon Lattimore, Godwin went to work, setting a new season-high in receiving yards while recording […]

Jerry Jeudy Catches Team-High Four Passes In His Return

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy returned from a high ankle sprain that he suffered in the season opener to lead the team with four catches (four targets) for 39 yards in the 17-10 Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team. The 22-year-old former first-rounder last year also tied a team-high with his four […]

Ronald Jones II Struggles Against New Orleans

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II struggled to find running room in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Jones managed to total just 19 scrimmage yards on four touches- as he continues to take a backseat to Leonard Fournette. The 24-year-old is on pace for a career-low total in rushing yards and seemingly isn't […]

Jaylen Waddle Totals 29 Yards

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has seen an increase in usage over the last few weeks. It was expected to decrease with the return of DeVante Parker (hamstring) in Week 8. However, Waddle continued seeing a bunch of targets during the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Sadly, Waddle only hauled in four […]

Courtland Sutton Catches Only Two Passes In Week 8

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a big disappointment in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8, catching two of his four targets for 40 yards on Sunday. Sutton was second on the team in receiving yards as they snapped their four-game losing streak, and he was also tied for […]

Giovani Bernard Leads Team In Rushing

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard totaled a team-high 30 rushing yards on just two attempts in Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Saints. Bernard looked good on his two carries but was utilized only as a change-of-pace option on a day where Tampa Bay struggled to run the ball against the Saints front. The […]

Dan Arnold Leads Team In Receiving Against Seattle

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold led the team in receiving in a 31-7 Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching eight of his 10 targets for 68 yards. Arnold led the team in receiving for the second time in three games and he's quietly established himself as one of Jacksonville's top options in […]

Mike Gesicki Quiet In Week 8 Loss

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put himself in the TE1 conversation in most fantasy formats over the last month or so. Sadly, he finally posted a dud against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Gesicki hauled in three of his four targets for 48 yards in the loss. To be fair, it wasn't […]

Leonard Fournette Stifled By Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette was held in check by the Saints' defense in Sunday's loss. Fournette mustered just 26 rushing yards on eight attempts while hauling in three receptions for 17 receiving yards, though his final line would have looked better had he reeled in a pass close to the goal-line during […]

DeVante Parker Gets Targeted 11 Times

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker made his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4. He wasted no time and immediately made an impact for this offense in Week 8. Parker hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 85 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. This was an encouraging […]

Jameis Winston Dealing With ACL Injury

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) suffered damage to his ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he might also be dealing with damage to his MCL. The Saints believe that his injury is "significant," and he could be looking at a season-ending injury, depending on what test results […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Manages Just 35 Receiving Yards In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. caught five of seven targets for 35 yards in the team's 31-7 blowout loss to Seattle. Jones strangely finished fourth on the team in targets and never got going after dropping a key third-down pass that would've moved the chains. It was a frustratingly mediocre fantasy performance from […]

Tom Brady Fires Four Touchdowns In Loss To Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 28 of 40 passes for 375 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. Brady got off to a slow start in the first half, as he was bothered by the Saints defense, though he warmed up after the break, firing three of […]

Salvon Ahmed Has Another Rough Outing

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed has quickly seen an increase in workload with the absence of Malcolm Brown (quad) over the last few weeks. In each of the last three games, Ahmed has rushed the ball seven times, but hasn't been able to find much room to run. In Week 8, Ahmed rushed for […]

Tim Patrick Surprisingly Leads Broncos In Receiving

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick had only three targets in the 17-10 win over the Washington Football Team in Week 8, but he caught all three of those targets and led the team in receiving yards with 64 on a day in which quarterback Teddy Bridgewater only threw for 213 yards. Four players had […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Invisible In Week 8 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. managed just two catches for 13 yards in an embarrassing 31-7 loss against Seattle. Shenault dropped multiple passes and once again struggled to create separation while primarily lining up outside as opposed to in the slot. The second-year wideout has now scored more than 10 PPR points in […]

Mo Alie-Cox Held Without A Reception In Week 8 Loss

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox could not haul in any of the four targets he saw during a 34-31 overtime loss against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. It was a disappointing outing for the big tight end. His touchdown and reception streak came to an end against the Titans despite seeing double the number […]

Myles Gaskin Gets 12 Carries Against Bills

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin received plenty of touches against the Buffalo Bills in their Week 8 matchup. The Dolphins are without Malcolm Brown (quad) which means more carries for Gaskin. Sadly, he wasn't able to do much with them during their loss to Buffalo. Gaskin rushed 12 times for 36 yards and hauled […]
