New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey caught just one pass for 27 receiving yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Panthers.

Deebo Samuel Leads 49ers With Six Receptions In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught six of eight targets for 90 yards during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Samuel was again the 49ers leading receiver and should be treated as a mid-range WR2 with WR1 upside moving forward. He is also involved in the 49ers' running game, carrying […]

Deonte Harris Held To One Catch

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris caught one pass for nine receiving yards, adding one carry for a rushing yard in Sunday's loss to Carolina.

Marquez Callaway Held To Just Two Receptions In Loss

Elijah Mitchell To Have An MRI

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) will undergo an MRI, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The rookie suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles and briefly exited as a result. He did return, which was welcome news, but the team ultimately won't know more about his […]

Tony Jones Jr. Has Quiet Day Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. was held to just seven rushing yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Jones saw three carries to Alvin Kamara's eight, though it wasn't a particularly ground-heavy gameplan considering the team found themselves down early. The rookie back showed his talent in Week 1, which makes him […]

Jalen Hurts Saves His Fantasy Day With His Legs

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't do much with his arm in Week 2, but saved his fantasy day with a decent rushing performance.

Cleveland Defense Disappoints Vs. Houston

The Cleveland Browns defense turned in a disappointing effort in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston completed 11 of 22 passes for 111 yards, a rushing score, and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina.

Trey Sermon To Enter Concussion Protocol

San Francisco 49ers running back Trey Sermon (concussion) will enter the league's concussion protocol. After the rookie was a healthy scratch for Week 1, he was active on Sunday against Philadelphia to help fill the void caused by the absence of Raheem Mostert (knee), who recently underwent season-ending surgery. However, after newly anointed starter Elijah […]

Trey Sermon Sees Just One Carry In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers running back Trey Sermon finished with just one carry for eight yards during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While Sermon was activated after not playing in Week 1, he saw only 1.5 percent of the rushing share and zero targets. This is certainly concerning for his value if […]

Shane McClanahan Strikes Out Seven, Saddled With The Loss

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan (9-6) allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven during Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty carried five times for 38 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Pharaoh Brown Held Without A Catch In Week 2 Loss

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown saw just one target but was held without a catch in a Week 2 loss to the Browns.

Dalvin Cook Quickly Returns To Action

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook entered the injury tent but quickly returned against the Arizona Cardinals. At the time that Cook had entered the tent, the Vikings were winning 20-14 and Cook had a lot to do with that. In just the first half, he had already amassed 103 yards from scrimmage on 13 […]

Danny Amendola Held To One Catch Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 31-21 defeat at the hands of the Browns.

Elijah Mitchell Finishes With 53 Yards In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell carried 17 times for 42 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in a 17-11 Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tyrod Taylor Won't Play Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury against the Cleveland Browns. The veteran signal-caller will undergo an MRI tomorrow but has already been ruled out for the Texans' Thursday night matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Hunter Renfrow Has Another Solid Week For Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow had another productive week, tallying five receptions on seven targets for 57 yards in a 26-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Derek Carr rotated targeting his wide receivers pretty evenly on Sunday, but 27-year-old Renfrow is clearly emerging as one of his favorite new offensive weapons. Renfrow came […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Totals Two Touchdowns In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 22 of 30 pass attempts for 189 yards and a touchdown while carrying 11 times for 20 yards and a rushing touchdown during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Harrison Bryant Catches Four Balls

Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2. With Cleveland losing Jarvis Landry to a knee injury in the first quarter, Bryant took on a larger role in the offense and finished second on the team in […]

Brandin Cooks Paces Team In Receiving

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks hauled in nine of 14 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in a 31-21 loss to the Browns. There were 28 total targets for the Texans as a team, and Cooks saw half of them, as no other pass-catcher garnered more than two looks. While he couldn't find […]

Nelson Agholor Barely Involved In Week 2

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor made a splash during his team debut in Week 1. However, things quickly changed during his second game with New England.

Trey Sermon Dealing With Head Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Trey Sermon is dealing with a head injury suffered in his game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Austin Hooper Catches Five Balls In Win

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught all five of his targets for 40 yards in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2.

Jonnu Smith Makes Minimal Impact In Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith was brought in this offseason to be an impact red-zone threat for this offense. However, he has failed to find the end zone in two games this season. In Week 2, Smith hauled in four of his five targets for 28 yards in the win over the New […]

Bears Defense Racks Up Splash Plays Against Bengals

The Chicago Bears defense bounced back in a big way in the team's 20-17 win over the Bengals in Week 2. After being embarrassed on Sunday Night Football last week by the Rams, the Bears defensive unit flashed what made them so elite in 2018. Chicago racked up four sacks, a fumble recovery and at […]
