Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made all three of his extra points and both of his field-goal tries (long of 36) in the 27-13 Week 1 win over the New York Giants.

Denzel Mims Could Struggle To Receive Reps

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims could have a tough time receiving reps during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Patriots, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.

Zane Gonzalez Should Remain On Waivers

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez shouldn't be started for fantasy this week. The 26-year-old was just claimed by the team on Tuesday after Ryan Santoso was released after Week 1.

Rashard Higgins Will Play More As Season Progresses

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins, who played just four snaps in Week 1, should see his role expand as the season carries on. "He was our fourth receiver going in," noted offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. "We played a lot of three receiver sets. He came in and spelled guys when the time was […]

Panthers Defense Not A Starting Option Against Saints

The Carolina Panthers defense is not a solid starting option this week as they take on a Saints team that put up 38 points on the Packers last week. Rejuvenated quarterback Jameis Winston played turnover-free ball while tossing five touchdowns in his first game as a Saint. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara racked up 83 rushing yards […]
