Anthony Firkser Catches Three Passes In Week 1

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser caught three of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 38-13 Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The Titans' offense struggled on Sunday as QB Ryan Tannehill fumbled twice and was sacked six times. Firkser is the Titans' primary pass-catching tight end, with last's year starter Jonnu Smith […]

Deonte Harris Records 72 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris finished with two receptions for 72 yards and one touchdown on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. Harris did pace the team in yards though he didn't see many targets. The receiver could take on a big role going forward as the team's receiving corps is […]

Tony Jones Jr. Rushes For 50 Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. finished with 11 rushes for 50 yards and one reception for three yards on one target during Sunday's win over the Packers. The rookie received a decent number of carries in his NFL debut and could see a similar number of carries/production going forward as he is […]

Alvin Kamara Hauls In Receiving Touchdown

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara finished with 20 rushes for 83 yards and three receptions for eight yards and a score on four targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. Kamara played a bigger role in the offense as expected with Michael Thomas (ankle) out for the beginning of the season. His generally […]

Jameis Winston Tosses Five Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston went 14-for-20 for 148 yards and five touchdowns in Sunday's dominating win over the Packers. Winston looked sharp in his first regular-season action since 2019. The QB who is normally known for picks went flawless in that department and that was an encouraging start to his Saints debut. As […]

Marshon Lattimore Considered Week-To-Week

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (thumb) suffered a thumb injury in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers and will need surgery to fix it, according to a source. Lattimore is now considered week-to-week after signing a new five-year, $97.6 million extension with the Saints on Sunday. But the 25-year-old's injury is […]

Michael Badgley Misses Only Field Goal Attempt

Tennessee Titans kicker Michael Badgley was 0-for-1 in field goal attempts during Sunday's 38-13 Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, with the miss coming from 46 yards out. He also converted 1-of-2 extra-point attempts. The Titans placed kicker Sam Ficken (groin) on the injured reserve with a groin injury and called up Badgley from […]

Chris Manhertz Catches Touchdown In Week 1 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Chris Manhertz caught his only pass for a 22-yard touchdown in the team's 37-21 Week 1 defeat against the Houston Texans. Manhertz will forever live on Trevor Lawrence's highlight reel as the recipient of the rookie's first career touchdown pass, but he was a non-factor for most of the game. As […]

James O'Shaughnessy Totals 48 Yards In Week 1 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy caught six passes for 48 yards in the team's 37-21 Week 1 loss to the Houston Texans. O'Shaughnessy also had eight targets in the game, and he was surprisingly involved throughout. While O'Shaughnessy's performance was encouraging, Jacob Hollister is likely to suit up next week, meaning that O'Shaughnessy is […]

Titans Defense Shredded By Cardinals Offense

The Tennessee Titans defense allowed 416 total offensive yards and five touchdowns in Sunday's 38-13 Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Tennessee's defense/special teams had no answer for Cardinals star quarterback Kyler Murray, who shredded them for five total touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) in Week 1. Despite getting blown out, the Titans defense managed […]

Younghoe Koo Supplies Offense In Loss

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. It was a difficult day for the Falcons offense- as Koo was responsible for all of their points. The 27-year-old led all kickers in fantasy points last year- and while the Falcons offense clearly won't be as productive, […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Leads Jaguars In Receptions

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. led the team with seven receptions in Sunday's season-opening 37-21 loss to the Houston Texans while also adding 50 yards through the air and nine yards on the ground. All things considered, it was an encouraging performance from the second-year wideout, as he was targeted nine times and […]

Darius Slayton Finishes With 65 Receiving Yards Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught three of seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-13 Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. Most of his production came from a 42-yard grab in the first quarter. He was second on the team in targets and receiving yards, trailing only Sterling Shepard (9-113-1). Slayton […]

Sonny Gray Strikes Out Six In Loss To Cardinals

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed two runs over seven innings in a 2-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Gray struck out six and walked one while taking the loss. His only mistake in the start was a two-run homer by Nolan Arenado in the first inning, which wound up being the […]

Seahawks Defense Plays Well In Week 1

The Seattle Seahawks defense was one of the worst groups in the NFL last season, but they started off the 2021 season well in their Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Seahawks held the Colts to just 16 points on the day, with six of those points coming in garbage time with the […]

Trent Sherfield Catches Touchdown In Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Sherfield caught two of three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. Sherfield caught a five-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Trey Lance in the first quarter but was quiet for the duration of the game. Sherfield could be […]

Kyle Pitts Ties For Team Lead In Targets

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught four of eight targets for 31 yards in his NFL debut Sunday against the Eagles. Pitts played a large role in the offense from the jump but was unimpressive in the stat sheet. However, fantasy manager should be encouraged by the eight targets he saw, as it's clear […]

Chase McLaughlin Makes Three Extra Points In Week 1

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin made all three of his extra points in a 33-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. McLaughlin, who was making his Browns debut, was questionable with a hamstring issue heading into the contest. He managed to work through the injury to suit up for Cleveland, but his […]

Browns Defense Gives Up 33 Points In Tough Week 1 Loss

The Cleveland Browns defense struggled to contain Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offense in a 33-29 loss in Week 1. Cleveland's defense got off to a fast start, holding the Chiefs to just 10 points in the first half, but they ran out of steam in the second half in the loss. The […]

Russell Gage Fails To Catch A Pass Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage saw two targets, but failed to catch a pass in Sunday's blowout loss to Philadelphia. Gage was slated to see a large role in 2021 with Julio Jones out of the picture, though that didn't materialize in Week 1. There's certainly less volume to be had, as Arthur Smith […]

Carlos Hyde Leads The Backfield In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde led the team in touches on Sunday, racking up 11 touches and 58 total yards in the team's 37-21 Week 1 defeat against the Houston Texans. The extent of Hyde's involvement was surprising, and it appears that he's in a fairly even timeshare with James Robinson. Hyde caught two […]

Daniel Jones Has Two Total TDs, Tails Off In The Second Half

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22-of-37 passes for 267 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 27 yards on six attempts and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. He connected with Sterling Shepard for a 37-yard touchdown in the second quarter to put the Giants ahead 7-3. […]

JaMycal Hasty Scores Touchdown In Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty carried once for a three-yard rushing touchdown and caught his lone target for 15 yards during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. Due to Mostert's injury early within the game, Hasty was given a relief opportunity behind rookie Elijah Mitchell, who absorbed the lion's share of carries […]

Austin Hooper Quiet In Week 1 Loss

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in a 33-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. Hooper got off to a hot start, hauling in all three of his catches on Cleveland's first drive of the game. He disappeared after that as he wasn't […]

Calvin Ridley Held To 51 Receiving Yards In Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a quiet day in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Ridley scuffled to just 51 receiving yards in a beatable matchup against the Philadelphia secondary, though he did see eight targets, tied for the team lead with rookie Kyle Pitts. Even in a down performance, it's clear that Ridley […]

Jason Myers Is Perfect In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has one of the best jobs in the NFL. He's the kicker for a good offense, and he has multiple weeks every year where his only responsibilities are to kick extra points and kickoffs. In Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, Myers went 4-for-4 on his extra-point attempts. The main […]

D’Andre Swift Impresses During Season Opener

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift certainly exceeded expectations during the season opener on Sunday, finishing the Week 1 loss to San Francisco with 11 carries for 39 yards. Although his output on the ground wasn't the best, he made amends by racking up eight catches (11 targets) for 65 yards and a touchdown, finding […]

Gerald Everett Scores In Seattle Debut

Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett got off to a great start for his new team. Everett caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a score in the Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. While he didn't have the big yardage totals of other tight ends around the league, finding the end […]

D.K. Metcalf Finds The End Zone In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf picked up right where he left off last season in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts with a solid opening performance. Metcalf caught four of his five targets, which tied for the team lead, for 60 yards and a touchdown. Metcalf's size and speed make him a tough cover […]

George Kittle Finishes With 78 Receiving Yards In Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of five targets for 78 yards during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. While he was held without a touchdown, it was good to see Kittle's involvement throughout the game, as he was second on the 49ers in targets (5) behind Deebo Samuel (12). Continue […]
