Carlos Hyde A Non-Factor In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars veteran running back Carlos Hyde was a complete non-factor in a Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos, carrying the ball just twice for seven yards while adding nothing through the air. The lack of touches came out of nowhere in this one after Hyde led the team in touches in Week 1, […]

Sam Darnold Tosses For 305 Yards

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold went 26-for-38 for 305 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's win over the Saints.

Javonte Williams Splits Carries Evenly With Melvin Gordon

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams saw exactly as many carries (13) as backfield mate Melvin Gordon III in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he was more productive with those carries. Williams rushed for 64 yards (33 yards more than Gordon), 4.9 yards per attempt and also caught his lone […]

Jacoby Brissett Posts Ugly Outing Off The Bench

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett was not able to stop the bleeding during the Week 2 blowout loss.

Elijah Moore Targeted Eight Times In Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore followed up his dud in the season opener with a nice performance in Week 2. He hauled in four of eight targets for 47 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The Jets offense has been bad all around, so there' s not too many fantasy […]

Corey Davis Posts Dud In Week 2

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis had a solid team debut, but couldn't follow it up in Week 2. Davis gave a disappointing performance, but it wasn't all his fault. Quarterback Zach Wilson struggled heavily, so no one on the Jets offense did well here. Davis hauled in two of his five targets for […]

Teddy Bridgewater Throws Two More Touchdowns In Week 2 Win

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater did exactly what he was supposed to do in the 23-13 Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Kerryon Johnson Could Have A Role In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers running back Kerryon Johnson could get some action during the upcoming Sunday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

With Trey Sermon (concussion), Elijah Mitchell (shoulder), and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) all in […]

Braxton Berrios Goes Wild Versus Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios is making the most of his extra playing time. He hauled in five receptions last week and topped that performance in Week 2.

Sandy Alcantara Earns Another Quality Start On Sunday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara pitched well again on Sunday, earning a quality start against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Tevin Coleman Loses Snaps

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was the clear No. 1 option in the backfield during the season opener. However, he fell into third in the pecking order during the Week 2 matchup with the New England Patriots. Both Ty Johnson and Michael Carter saw more ten carries in this one. Coleman rushed five […]

JaMycal Hasty Dealing With Ankle Issue

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) may not be available for the Sunday Night Football showdown against Green Bay next week.

Cowboys Defense Performs Decently In Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys defense performed surprisingly well in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Dallas defensive unit allowed 17 points while recording two sacks and two interceptions. That was good for an even four fantasy points in standard scoring formats, better than their projection in what ended up being a low-scoring, […]

Eagles Defense Doesn't Do Much In Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles defense did not do much in a Week 2 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles allowed 17 points without recording a single sack or a turnover, resulting in one single fantasy point in standard scoring formats. Given the struggles of the Eagles offense in this one, the defense ended up […]

Ty Johnson Rushes For 50 Yards In Week 2

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson was quiet in the season opener, but got more involved during the Week 2 matchup with the New England Patriots. Johnson rushed 12 times for 50 yards in the loss. This was a nice outing on the ground for Johnson, but don't expect it to happen often. The […]

Trevor Lawrence Struggles In Week 2 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggled mightily against the Denver Broncos in the team's 23-13 Week 2 loss, throwing for just 118 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

Greg Zuerlein Has A Perfect Week 2

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect in Week 2, including a last-second game-winning kick against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Dalton Schultz Hauls In Two Passes In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted twice in Week 2, catching both passes for a total of 18 yards. Nominal starting tight end Blake Jarwin did just a little better, catching three balls for 37 yards.

Cedrick Wilson Makes Two Catches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, filling in for an injured Michael Gallup (ankle), made two catches for 20 yards in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed for 182 yards with three touchdowns and caught all six targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Amari Cooper Shut Down In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper was mostly shut down by a strong Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 2. Cooper was targeted five times, catching three passes for 24 scoreless yards. While the Cowboys were playing well on the ground, they were never really able to get the passing game going. All of the […]

Evan McPherson Remains Perfect In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson kept his perfect season going during the loss to Chicago on Sunday. The rookie had just one field goal on the afternoon, although it was a good one, splitting the uprights on a 53-yard attempt in the third quarter.

Blake Jarwin Secures Three Catches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught three passes in Week 2, gaining 37 yards. He was targeted four times, double the amount of Dalton Schultz's two.
