Eric Haase Blasts His 22nd Home Run On Sunday

Detroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase helped lead the team to a 2-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in the game. The home run was his 22nd of the year. The 28-year-old has struggled at the plate so far in September. He […]

Joe Burrow Succumbs To Bears Defensive Onslaught

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow finished with 207 yards on 19-for-30 passing during the Week 2 loss to Chicago. Although the former LSU Tiger threw two touchdowns, connecting with Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase for scores for the second consecutive week, he also tossed three picks, with one of them going back for a defensive […]

Wily Peralta Shuts Out Rays Over Seven Innings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Wily Peralta had a fantastic outing against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. He pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out three. He earned the win to improve to 4-3 on the year. The 32-year-old right-hander has now posted quality starts in two straight outings. […]

Gregory Soto To Miss The Rest Of The Season

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Gregory Soto (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left finger fracture on Sunday. He is expected to miss the remainder of the 2021 season. The 26-year-old operated as the primary closer for the Tigers for the bulk of the year, earning his first All-Star Game nod along […]

Mike Evans Returns To The Game On Sunday

Updating an earlier report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (leg) returned to the game on Sunday versus the Falcons. The veteran was spotting limping off the field after suffering a non-contact issue in his lower right leg. Evans was playing fantastic before he briefly left the game, racking up 75 yards and two […]

Brandon Aiyuk Records One Reception In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught one of two passes for six yards in a 17-11 Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Aiyuk ran slightly more (55%) of the team's offensive snaps than Trent Sherfield (35%) in Week 2 but should be faded in PPR formats until he proves that he can become […]

Mike Evans Limps Off The Field With Non-Contact Issue

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (leg) limped off the field during Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. It was a non-contact injury, too, which is certainly not a good thing. It's unfortunate timing for Evans, who was having himself a fantastic contest in Week 2 before suffering the lower leg ailment, compiling four catches […]

Jauan Jennings Scores A Touchdown In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The second-year wideout was drafted in the seventh round but was able to find the end zone during a defensive battle in Philadelphia. Jennings should remain on […]

George Kittle Held To 17 Yards In Week 2 Win

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught all four of his targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Kittle saw the team's second-highest target share at 17.6 percent behind Deebo Samuel, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about his outlook moving forward. Kyle Shanahan ran 38 […]

Juwan Johnson Sees Three Targets

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson hauled in one pass for 23 yards in a Week 2 loss to the Panthers. Johnson finished third on the team in targets and was the undisputed top option at the tight end position for News Orleans in Week 2. The athletic tight end may carve himself a […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Hauls In 27-Yard Reception

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey caught just one pass for 27 receiving yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Panthers. Humphrey ended up as the team's leading receiver in a disappointing day for the offense. The 23-year-old has yet to seize the opportunity in front of him with Michael Thomas (ankle) sidelined, as […]

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. Harris was looking to build upon a solid Week 1 effort that saw him haul in a long touchdown from Jameis Winston, though it was not to be, as […]

Ben Roethlisberger Throws For 295 Yards, TD In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 27 of 40 passes for 295 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 26-17 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. Roethlisberger outpaced his anemic Week 1 output but still only managed to toss one touchdown in the surprising loss to the Raiders. The veteran […]

Marquez Callaway Held To Just Two Receptions In Loss

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway caught two of four targets for eight receiving yards in a Week 2 loss to Carolina. The Saints offense as a whole failed to bring their best effort, though Callaway has now disappointed for two straight weeks after putting together a strong preseason. If there was any positive […]

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. Hurts completed just 12 passes on 23 attempts, for 190 scoreless yards. He was able to be a force on the ground though, running the ball 10 times for 82 yards […]

Alvin Kamara Stifled In Loss To Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball eight times for five rushing yards, adding four catches on six targets for 25 receiving yards in a 26-7 loss to the Panthers. The Panthers defense completely stifled Kamara, who had nowhere to run despite leading the backfield in touches once again. While his down […]

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. While the final score doesn't look all that close, the Cleveland defense let the Texans keep the game competitive for the majority of the game, despite rookie quarterback Davis Mills taking over for the injured […]

Jameis Winston Intercepted Twice In Ugly Loss

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. Winston struggled all day against the Panthers' underrated defense, which chased him for four sacks and the two picks. The gunslinger didn't have much time to look downfield, as […]

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. He was activated ahead of Sunday's start against the Tigers after spending the 10-day minimum on the injured list. The left-hander was brilliant on Sunday, limiting […]

JaMycal Hasty Sees Five Targets In Week 2 Win

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. Hasty was used more than many anticipated, including leading the 49ers running backs in targets. If he is still available on waiver wires, […]

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. Brown carried an injury designation into the contest, as he was dealing with ankle and shoulder ailments all week, though he was deemed healthy enough to play despite the lackluster effort. […]

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. Amendola had a solid debut in Week 1, hauling in five receptions and a touchdown- though he came back down to earth against Cleveland. The veteran wideout will be impossible to trust for […]

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. Mitchell was one of the hottest waiver wire pick ups after a strong 100-yard rushing performance in Week 1 but struggled against a […]

Chase McLaughlin Makes FG, Four Extra Points In Win

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin made a 30-yard field goal and added four extra points in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2. McLaughlin has yet to miss a kick through two weeks, hitting seven of seven extra points and his lone field-goal try. The veteran kicker is shaping up as a […]
