Of […]

Cedrick Wilson Catches Three Passes In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson was targeted three times in Week 1, catching all three. He gained 24 total yards, clearly working as the fourth wide receiver on the depth chart. Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup combined for 38 targets and were all way ahead of Wilson in all of quarterback Dak […]

Cowboys Defense Makes Two Picks In Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys defense played opportunistic football in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. They recorded two interceptions, but allowed 31 points. Bucs quarterback Tom Brady threw for 379 yards and four touchdowns, and had very little trouble moving the offense down the field all evening. The Dallas defense's biggest impact in fantasy football […]

Greg Zuerlein Misses Three Kicks In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein got eight chances to kick the ball in Week 1 and made just five of those kicks. Zuerlein was 3-of-5 on field goal tries and 2-of-3 on extra point attempts. Zuerlein made field goals from 35, 21, and 48 yards out and missed tries from 31 and 60 yards away. […]

Blake Jarwin Makes Three Catches In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin made three catches on four targets in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, gaining 20 yards. It was Jarwin's first real game action since he was lost for the season with a torn ACL during last season's Week 1. Jarwin looked healthy, but played behind fellow […]

Michael Gallup Starts The Season With Four Catches In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup played as the clear third wide receiver option in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Gallup was targeted seven times, making four catches for 36 scoreless yards. Fellow wide receivers Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb were targeted 16 and 15 times, respectively. Gallup always has big […]

Dalton Schultz Catches Six Passes In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz caught all six balls thrown his way in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. His six catches were good for 45 scoreless yards. Schultz was the starting tight end for almost all of the 2020 season after projected starter Blake Jarwin was lost for the season […]

Ryan McMahon Goes Deep In Win Over Philadelphia

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run homer in a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. McMahon didn't start this game and entered as a pinch-hitter in the top of the ninth inning with the Rockies trailing 2-1. He came through in a major way, taking Ian Kennedy deep for a […]

CeeDee Lamb Off To A Good Start After Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb got off to a good start despite a loss in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Lamb was targeted 15 times, just one behind Amari Cooper's team-leading 16. Lamb caught seven of those passes, gaining 104 yards and scoring a touchdown. His score came on a 22-yard pass […]

Amari Cooper Starts The Season With A Huge Game

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper got the season started with a huge offensive performance in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Cooper was the clear centerpiece of the passing game. He was targeted 16 times, catching 13 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. His first score came on a five-yard catch, his […]

Carlos Estevez Picks Up The Save On Thursday

Colorado Rockies closer Carlos Estevez earned the save on Thursday when he allowed one run on two hits with a strikeout over one inning in a 4-3 win over the Phillies. Estevez entered in the ninth inning with the Rockies holding a 4-2 lead and ran into a little trouble. He allowed a single to […]

Antonio Senzatela Picks Up Sixth Straight Quality Start

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela took a no-decision on Thursday when he allowed two runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts over six innings in a 4-3 win over the Phillies. Senzatela came into this game having picked up a quality start in five straight contests and did not disappoint. He […]

Tony Pollard Gets Six Touches In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard received six touches in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Clearly playing behind starter Ezekiel Elliott and operating only as a change-of-pace back, Pollard ran the ball twice, gaining just three yards and adding four catches on four targets for 29 more yards. Pollard is an […]

Rob Gronkowski Hauls In Two Touchdowns

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski finished with eight receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets in Thursday's win over Dallas. The 32-year-old had an impressive season debut and didn't look like a veteran with wear-and-tear from playing for many years. It's apparent Gronk remains a favorite target of QB Tom […]

Ezekiel Elliott Gets Off To A Slow Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott got off to a slow start in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Facing a tough run defense (second best against opposing running backs last season), Elliott ran the ball 11 times, gaining just 33 scoreless yards. He also made two catches on two targets, picking […]

Antonio Brown Paces Team With 121 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown led the team with five receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the Week 1 win over the Cowboys. Brown started the season off in a terrific way and the chemistry between him and QB Tom Brady was apparent. Brown will look to make […]

Chris Godwin Puts Up 105 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin put up nine receptions for 105 yards and a score on 14 targets in Week 1's win over Dallas. He also lost a fumble. Despite that one blemish, Godwin paced the team in receptions and targets and started the season off in a fantastic way. While targets will […]

Dak Prescott Throws For Over 400 Yards In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an excellent Week 1 performance against the defending champion Tampa Bay Bucs. Despite ultimately ending in a loss, Prescott was simply incredible and showed no signs of the injury that slowed him down and forced him to miss all of the preseason. Dak completed 42 of his 58 pass […]

Mike Evans Musters 24 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans managed only three receptions for 24 yards on six targets in Thursday's win over Dallas. In a game filled with yards and touchdowns, Evans was the odd man out in terms of putting up explosive numbers as his teammates thrived. While Week 1's performance was disappointing, Evans remains […]

Dylan Floro Collects A Save On Thursday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro picked up his ninth save of the season in Thursday's win over the New York Mets. Floro pitched a scoreless ninth inning, recording two strikeouts to lock down the 3-2 win for the Fish. He isn't a particularly great pitcher, but he's in a situation that makes him worth […]

Leonard Fournette A Factor In Rushing And Passing Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished Thursday's win over Dallas with nine carries for 32 yards and five receptions for 27 yards on seven targets. While not the flashiest numbers, Fournette did receive double the carries of fellow backfield mate Ronald Jones II and also chipped in for the passing game. While it […]

Ronald Jones II Fumbles In Season Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II managed four rushes for 14 yards in the season-opening win against the Cowboys. The RB also notably lost a fumble in the game. Coming into the season, it was expected Jones and Leonard Fournette would both get carries but Fournette got nine in Thursday's game compared to […]

Jesus Luzardo Pitches Well Again On Thursday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo continued his solid run of late with another solid start on Thursday against the New York Mets. Luzardo pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out eight. The rookie lefty threw 97 pitches, 58 strikes. He started his Marlins career […]

Tom Brady Tosses For 379 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady finished Thursday's win over Dallas by going 32-for-50 for 379 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks. The 44-year-old didn't look one bit his age on Thursday and showcased why he can still play for multiple years going forward. With a collection of elite receiving weapons, Brady figures to remain […]

Michael Gallup Exits With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (ankle) is questionable to return to the team's Week 1 contest against the Buccaneers. Gallup had four catches for 36 yards before exiting. The way Dallas used Gallup was encouraging, even if the numbers didn't necessarily look great for fantasy purposes. If Gallup misses any time, Cedrick Wilson would […]

John Means Takes Tough Loss Thursday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means fell to 5-7 in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Royals. Means pitched 7 strong innings, allowing two runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with five strikeouts. However, the O's weren't able to get their bats going to provide any support. The 28-year-old has […]
