Logan Thomas Catches Five Passes

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas caught five passes for 45 yards on Thursday night in the 30-29 win over the New York Giants.

Taylor Heinicke Throws For 336 Yards In Win

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke finished with 336 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in Thursday night's 30-29 win over the New York Giants. The dual-threat didn't rely too much on his rushing ability in this game, as he only had six rushing yards on four attempts. Heinicke has proven to be a viable […]

J.D. McKissic Finds The End Zone On Thursday Night

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic had an impressive performance in Week 2, finishing with five receptions for 83 receiving yards and four carries for 10 rushing yards and a touchdown. From his Week 1 usage, it didn't seem like he would be as big of a factor as he was last year, but […]

Antonio Gibson Rushes For 69 Yards

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson carried the ball 13 times for 69 yards and added two receptions for four yards against the New York Giants on Thursday night. The sophomore got a touchdown opportunity taken away by J.D. McKissic, so this ultimately led to him having a quiet night for fantasy managers. Gibson […]

Adam Humphries Catches Seven Passes

Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries caught seven passes for 44 yards on eight targets in Thursday night's win against the New York Giants. Humphries was relied upon to be a security blanket for Taylor Heinicke, as he has potentially stepped into a significant role in the Washington offense with Curtis Samuel out of […]

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught 11 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in Thursday night's 30-29 win against the New York Giants.

Alex Cobb Gets The Victory In Return

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (8-3) showed that his month-and-a-half stint on the injured list didn't keep him from staying in form, securing the win in the 9-3 game against the Chicago White Sox.

Cephus posted 54 yards […]

Can Amon-Ra St. Brown Step Up In Week 2?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown should be in line for more targets Week 2 against the Packers.

St. Brown shined all through training camp but amassed only two catches for 23 […]

Jared Goff A Risky Play Against Packers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will have a tough Week 2 test against a Packers defense looking to put its collapse against the Saints behind them. Goff shook off a first half pick-six to pass for 338 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 41-33 loss to the 49ers in Week 1. The Packers defense […]

Chris Boswell A Top-15 Option In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell got off to a fast start in his team's Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills. He hit all three of his field goals and added two extra points in the win. Boswell could be busy again in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders in a game with sneaky […]

Giants Lineman Nick Gates Suffers Leg Fracture

New York Giants offensive lineman Nick Gates was carted off the field in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team with a fractured leg.

Mekhi Becton Will Have Surgery On Wednesday

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) will surgery on Wednesday and is expected to miss four to eight weeks. One of the most promising young tackles in the NFL, Becton's extended absence will hurt the Jets offense, with both the passing game -- led by rookie quarterback Zach Wilson -- and the running game […]

Pat Freiermuth Could See An Expanded Role In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth had a quiet game in his NFL debut in Week 1, catching his lone target for 24 yards.

Minnesota Vikings linebackers Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) and Anthony Barr (knee) and defensive end Everson Griffen (concussion) did not practice on Thursday.

After Week 1 of the NFL season, fantasy managers might be panicking on some top players like Ezekiel Elliott, but it is important to realize that it is a long season. It would be nice to start the fantasy season on a tear, but it isn't the end of the world if players come out of […]

Chase Claypool A Boom/Bust WR3 In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool turned in a quiet outing by his standards in a Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills as he caught just three passes for 45 yards. The talented second-year wideout should be able to find more room to operate in a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in […]
