Kenyan Drake Plays Mixed Role In Week 2 Win

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake had seven carries for nine yards and five receptions on seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 27-year-old was expected to take on the bulk of the rushing duties Sunday with Josh Jacobs sidelined with a toe injury. Instead, Vegas opted […]

David Johnson Paces Backfield With 47 Scrimmage Yards

Houston Texans running back David Johnson accumulated 47 scrimmage yards on eight touches in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns. Johnson played the highest percentage of snaps of Houston's running backs, totaling an impressive 4.2 yards per carry on his six totes. After he seemingly operated as the team's best pass-catching option out of the […]

David Montgomery Posts 79 Total Yards

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 20 times for 61 yards and added 18 receiving yards in the Bears 20-17 win over the Bengals in Week 2.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 95 yards and a touchdown while adding a three-yard reception in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2. Chubb got off to a slow start in the contest but he managed to find the end zone on an impressive 26-yard […]

James White Has A Solid Day In Win Over Jets

New England Patriots running back James White did a little bit of everything during the Week 2 matchup with the New York Jets. He rushed five times for 20 yards and one touchdown. White also hauled in all six of his targets for 45 yards in the victory. The Patriots didn't have to do much […]

Justin Fields Escapes With Victory

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 6-of-13 passes for 60 yards, one interception and 31 rushing yards in the Bears 20-17 win over the Bengals. Fields came into the game after starting quarterback Andy Dalton exited with a lower leg injury in the first half. Fields mostly played on instincts throughout, using his legs for […]

Diontae Johnson Has Big Game, Appears To Injure Knee In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson turned in a big performance in a 26-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2, but it wasn't all good news. Johnson caught nine of 12 targets for 105 yards, but he may have injured his knee on the final play of the game. With the Steelers […]

Damien Harris Secures Lead-Back Role

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris was potentially in jeopardy of losing his starting role heading into Week 2. He had a costly fumble late in the Week 1 loss which led to speculation that Harris would see a reduced role going forward. However, he was the clear lead back versus the New York […]

Mark Ingram II Leads Backfield In Touches Again

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II carried the ball 14 times for 41 rushing yards, adding a catch for negative yardage in Sunday's defeat to the Browns. Ingram placed second among the three backs in snap percentage, and while he led the backfield in touches by a fair margin, he was unimpressive on the […]

Brandon Graham Feared To Have Torn Achilles

Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Brandon Graham is feared to have torn his Achilles against the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles defense has looked really good in their first two weeks of the young NFL season, but Graham missing the rest of the season hurts. Though the 33-year-old is still an elite player, this injury could […]

Henry Ruggs III Has Improved Performance In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III had a big late-game impact in Sunday's 26-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. His 61-yard reception for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter gave Vegas a 22-14 lead, and he ended the day with five receptions on seven targets for 113 yards. While Derek Carr targeted […]

Mac Jones Quiet In Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was expected to flourish in this favorable matchup versus the New York Jets. However, Jones had a fairly quiet game in the 25-6 victory over New York. He completed 22-of-30 passing attempts for 186 yards and was held without a touchdown or interception. Jones was efficient with the ball, […]

Baker Mayfield Accounts For Two TDs In Win

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 19 of 21 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2.

Davis Mills Fires Touchdown Pass In Backup Duty

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed eight of 18 passes for 102 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Browns. Mills entered the game in relief of an injured Tyrod Taylor (hamstring), firing a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks, which was a nice bounce-back after an early interception. The rookie […]

Darren Waller Has Quiet Game Against Steelers

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a quieter-than-usual day at the office on Sunday, tallying five receptions on seven targets for 65 yards in Vegas' 26-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense had double-coverage on Waller for the majority of the game, limiting the number of times Derek Carr targeted him. But […]

Derek Carr Shines In Win Over Steelers

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had another impressive outing on Sunday, completing 28-of-37 passes for 382 yards with two touchdowns in a 26-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 30-year-old gunslinger had to mix and match his targets on Sunday because the run game was mostly shot without Josh Jacobs on the field and […]

Brad Miller Takes A Seat Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Brad Miller is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Miller's had a solid year at the plate, slashing .230/.323/.467 with 19 HRs, but has done little of that off of lefties as he's put up just a .567 OPS against them. With Rich Hill starting […]

Christian McCaffrey Back In The Game

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) exited Sunday's game against the Saints, but the star rusher eventually returned to the field and managed to add a touchdown to his stat sheet. Considering McCaffrey re-entered this contest, we can safely assume he's good-to-go moving forward. He remains the overall RB1 in redraft and dynasty leagues.

Carson Wentz Exits In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankle) left Sunday's game against the Rams with an an ankle injury, and quarterback Jacob Eason checked in to replace him late in the game. Eason quickly threw an interception, so that's not a great sign for the Colts offense if Wentz misses any time. Wentz was 20-for-31 for 245 yards […]

Didi Gregorius Not In Sunday's Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius is not in the lineup to take on the New York Mets Sunday night, according to MLB.com. Gregorius has struggled for much of the year, hitting just .215 with 11 HRs and a .373 slugging. Freddy Galvis will take over short and bat leadoff. Galvis has been productive this season, […]

Mike Yastrzemski Out Of Sunday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com. He hasn't been able to replicate what he's done the last couple of seasons but still has an above-average .221/.308/.454 slash line with 23 HRs, 71 runs, and 58 RBI. He has just a […]

Elijah Mitchell Questionable To Return

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles. With the 49ers up two scores in the fourth quarter, Mitchell will likely miss the remainder of this one, with JaMycal Hasty seeing lead-back work down the stretch. Mitchell had 14 carries for 32 yards and two […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Absent From Sunday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com. Wade Jr. has come out of nowhere to put up a very productive season for the division-leading Giants, slashing .262/.340/.517 with 18 HRs and six stolen bases over 97 […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Goes To Locker Room

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has gone to the locker room with what appears to be an upper-body injury. Considering it's the fourth quarter of this game, it wouldn't be a shock to see Henderson ruled out, even if the injury doesn't wind up being serious. Henderson has 13 carries for 53 […]

Christian McCaffrey Questionable To Return In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. With the Panthers up 17-0, the team might play things safe with McCaffrey, who appeared to be having leg cramps on the sideline. McCaffrey has 17 carries for 58 yards and four catches for 56 yards. […]

Brandon Belt Not In Sunday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants' first baseman Brandon Belt is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com. Belt's having one of the best seasons of his career, slashing .260/.365/.577 with 26 HRs, 54 RBI, and 57 runs over 90 games. His OPS is .877 off of lefties, compared to […]

Anthony Firkser Out For Week 2

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 2 contest against Seattle. Firkser had three catches for 19 yards last week while playing 48 percent of Tennessee's snaps, so it's not like many people were counting on him as their TE1 this week, but Firkser is a popular TE2 option […]

Jorge Soler Sitting Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler is taking a seat on the bench for Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco Giants, according to MLB.com. Soler is slashing .219/.312/.419 with 23 HRs, 59 RBI, and 64 runs over 136 games. Since being traded to the Braves, though, he's been a great fantasy asset, batting .272 with 10 […]

Brandon Graham, Brandon Brooks Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) and offensive guard Brandon Brooks (chest) have both been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the 49ers. The Graham injury looked particularly bad, as he was helped off the field and then carted to the locker room. The Eagles losing crucial pieces of […]
