Ryan Blaney Misses Chase After 11th-Place Finish

Ryan Blaney just could not stay with the leaders on Sunday at Martinsville. He needed to get closer on the long run and could not do that either. The result was an 11th-place finish that left him out of the Championship Four. Blaney was so close to stage points and did not accumulate any. Again […]

Joey Logano Left Out Of Chase

Joey Logano was another driver that needed to win to advance on Sunday. His Team Penske car led a total of nine laps but never could get the lines right late. As a result, he scrambled his way to a tenth-place finish at Martinsville. That eliminated him from title contention. The No. 20 also only […]

William Byron Finishes Fifth At Martinsville On Sunday

William Byron was fast enough throughout the race and even the long run to end up fifth on Sunday at Martinsville. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car was third and fourth in the stage results. The No. 24 car managed to stay near the front as teammate Chase Elliott led most of the race. Hendrick cars […]

Martin Truex Jr. Nets Chase Spot With Fourth-Place Finish

Martin Truex Jr. had one roller coaster of a race on Sunday as he finished fourth at Martinsville. He had an excellent race car, stayed near the front all race, but nearly lost it all on lap 471. Aric Almirola got up on Truex's side and forced him into the wall. The Joe Gibbs Racing […]

Brad Keselowski Doesn't Make Cut Despite Finishing Third

Brad Keselowski managed to get his Ford up to third place by the end of the Xfinity 500 on Sunday evening. It was not enough as the Team Penske car was eliminated by just a handful of points. He lost six more to Martin Truex Jr. on stage points. Finishing one spot above the Joe […]

Kyle Busch Eliminated Despite Second-Place Finish

In the end, Kyle Busch and his Joe Gibbs Racing car needed about another half-second. Busch finished second at Martinsville on Sunday and then realized the math was not on his side. He lost eight points to Martin Truex Jr. on stage points alone. That was just enough to eliminate the younger Busch from a […]

Alex Bowman Takes Checkered Flag at Martinsville

Alex Bowman got by Denny Hamlin with seven laps to go, slid up Hamlin's rear, got past him, and never looked back. Hamlin went into the wall while Bowman took home the Xfinity 500 and his fourth win of the NASCAR season. Bowman went on to win by less than a half-second over Kyle Busch. […]

Seahawks Defense Shows Some Life In Week 8

The Seattle Seahawks defense wasn't exactly flawless in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the final score gave them a solid fantasy outing. They gave up just seven total points on the day, with those points coming with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. They were also able to get a sack […]

Younghoe Koo Misses Field Goal

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo went 2-for-3 in field goals and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's loss to Carolina. Koo is normally reliable and this was his first miss on the season overall. The kicker has gone 12-for-13 in field goals and 13-for-13 in extra points. He should be considered a good fantasy […]

Kyle Pitts Musters 13 Yards

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts fell back down to earth in Week 8's loss to the Panthers, managing only two receptions for 13 yards on six targets. The TE posted a season-best 163 yards last week. Nevertheless, the youngster has proven he deserves a large role on this team and will be the top […]

Jason Myers Perfect In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers had a quiet few weeks of play recently, but he bounced back in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers made all four of his kicking attempts on the day. He's going to be just outside of the top-12 kicking options for the week, but this was a successful week […]

Gerald Everett Struggles In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett is likely hoping that the offense changes sooner rather than later after his poor outing in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Everett caught one of his two targets for seven yards, and he had one rushing attempt for negative-five yards. This was the second week in a row […]

D.K. Metcalf Finds The End Zone Twice In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks wideout D.K. Metcalf caught a few more balls than he did a week ago, but he did manage to find the end zone twice in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Metcalf caught all six of his targets for 43 yards and the two touchdowns. Metcalf finished second on the team behind Lockett […]

Tyler Lockett Bounces Back In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had struggled for the last two weeks, but he played exceptionally well in the team's Week 8 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He caught 12 of his 13 targets for 142 yards. This was the first time since Week 2 that Lockett had more than 57 receiving yards in […]

Alex Collins Struggles In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins had a solid game a few weeks ago, but he failed again in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars to replicate that performance. Collins had 10 carries for 44 yards on the day, and that was all that he added in the team's 31-7 win. After dominating the team's […]

Geno Smith Plays Well In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a couple of rough weeks in place of quarterback Russell Wilson (finger), but he played well in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He completed 20 of 24 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran twice for eight yards and found the end zone. The Seahawks […]

Tajae Sharpe Records 58 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe finished with five receptions for a team-leading 58 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. The receiver now has at least five targets and 53 yards in two of the past three games. The Falcons are now very thin at wideout with Calvin Ridley stepping away […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Records Receiving Touchdown

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson finished with nine carries for 35 yards and five receptions for 37 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to Carolina. Patterson has been effective in the rushing and receiving game this season, posting a high of 60 rushing yards and 82 receiving yards at different points in the […]

Mike Davis Rushes For 44 Yards In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis recorded nine carries for 44 yards and caught five passes for 22 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Davis has been overshadowed by the emergence of Cordarrelle Patterson and hasn't been that productive this season. Davis hasn't posted more than 53 rushing yards or 25 […]

Matt Ryan Throws Two Picks Against Panthers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished Sunday's loss to Carolina by going 20-for-27 for 146 yards, one touchdown, and two picks. After throwing for over 300 yards the previous two games, Ryan fell flat in Week 8. Overall, the QB has posted generally modest numbers each week this season and isn't as explosive as he […]

Jonnu Smith Continues To Slump

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith hasn't been able to do much of anything through the first eight weeks of the season. The Patriots were hopeful he'd be a significant red zone target, but Smith only has one touchdown on the season. In Week 8, Smith caught both of his targets for 13 yards […]

Hunter Henry Snaps Touchdown Streak

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry came into a Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers with a four-game touchdown streak. Sadly, Henry was unable to keep that streak alive against the Chargers on Sunday. He caught one of his three targets for 33 yards in the win. It wasn't a very successful […]

Jakobi Meyers Posts Another Sluggish Game

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers appeared to be the most reliable receiver for this offense, but has been quiet over the last few games. In Week 8, Meyers hauled in four of nine targets for 37 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. To be fair, it wasn't a very successful […]

Kendrick Bourne Targeted Seven Times In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has quietly put together a decent season through the first eight games of the year. In Week 8, Bourne hauled in four of his seven targets for 38 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Those seven targets were the most Bourne has seen since Week […]

Nelson Agholor Posts 60 Yards In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor has struggled to find much success through the first seven weeks of the season. However, he was able to do some damage during the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Agholor hauled in three of his six targets for 60 yards in the win. Those 60 […]

Mike Hoffman Scores Another Goal In Sunday's Loss

Montreal Canadiens winger Mike Hoffman produced a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss at Anaheim, making it four goals in five games for himself. Hoffman missed the start of the season with a lower-body injury and went pointless in his first couple of outings for the team but has quickly found his scoring stick. He's […]

Zane Gonzalez Makes Four Field Goals

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez made all four of his field-goal attempts along with one extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over Atlanta. Gonzalez is now 13-for-15 in field goals along with 13-for-14 in extra points on the season. The kicker is worth streaming in favorable matchups but shouldn't be considered a strong weekly starter given […]

Brandon Bolden Makes Minimal Impact In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden hauled in six receptions last week, but was unable to have the same success in Week 8. Bolden rushed four times for 26 yards during the win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Those four attempts on the ground were actually a season-high for Bolden. Sadly, he […]

Ian Thomas Musters 10 Yards

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas managed one reception for 10 yards on one target in Sunday's win over Atlanta. Thomas had a couple of games in between where he posted modest numbers but it now seems he's back to posting underwhelming weekly production. The TE has now posted below 20 yards in five games […]

Troy Terry Stretches Point Streak To Eight Games

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry extended his point streak to eight games on Sunday, recording the game-winning goal in a 4-2 home victory against Montreal. He's notched five goals and five assists during his streak, which is tied with Alex Ovechkin for the longest active run in the league. The 24-year-old has been in […]
