Alex Avila Hits First Homer Of The Year

Washington Nationals catcher Alex Avila hit his first home run of the season Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was his only hit in four at-bats.

Luis Garcia Smashes Another Homer

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia continued his stretch of hitting the ball hard Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run. Garcia's fifth homer of the season, the ball left the bat at 106.2 MPH. That's the eighth ball this week Garcia has hit more than 100 MPH. Garcia carries just a .682 OPS in […]

Juan Soto Reaches Base Four More Times Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto manages to do things nearly every day that other players never manage to accomplish. On Sunday, Soto reached base four more times, going 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, two walks, and a run scored in a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's now reached base at least four […]

Nick Pivetta Pitches Well In Return From COVID List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta returned from the COVID list to make the start against the Chicago White Sox Sunday, and he was very effective in 5 1/3 innings of work. Pivetta allowed one unearned run on three hits and no walks while striking out five. This outing breaks a streak of three […]

Dylan Moore Homers Again Sunday

Seattle Mariners utility man Dylan Moore homered Sunday, his 12th of the season. The solo shot was his only hit in two at-bats. With 20 steals to his name as well, it would be fair to imagine that Moore has had quite a strong season, but that hasn't been the case. Despite the power-speed combo, […]

Jarred Kelenic Contributes Two-Run Shot

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic hit a two-run shot against the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday, his only hit in three at-bats. He also walked once.

Mitch Haniger Goes Deep In Loss Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's now gone deep in two straight games, giving him 32 for the season. Haniger has hit safely in eight of his 10 September games, with exactly one hit on seven of […]

Yusei Kikuchi Bounces Back In Loss

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi had a bounce-back outing Sunday, allowing just one run on six hits and one walk in five innings to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He struck out eight batters and took a no-decision, though the Diamondbacks won 5-4 in the end. Kikuchi's had an up-and-down season, which makes decisions more difficult […]

Broncos Defense Lives Up To The Hype In Week 1

The Denver Broncos defense looked like their strong suit in the 27-13 Week 1 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. With the Monday night game pending, Denver's D finished tied for seventh among team defenses to open the season in standard-scoring defensive leagues, and it was without star pass-rusher Bradley Chubb in the […]

Brandon McManus Has Decent Scoring Day In Win Over Giants

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made all three of his extra-point tries and both of his field goals (a long of 36 yards) in the 27-13 Week 1 season-opening win over the New York Giants on Sunday on the road. Although McManus only recorded nine points for his fantasy managers in regular scoring leagues for […]

Courtland Sutton Does Very Little In Week 1 Win

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was barely heard from on Sunday in the 27-13 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. Playing in his first regular season game since tearing his ACL in Week 2 of last year, Sutton was handled with kid gloves by the Denver coaching staff, which was a […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Vultures A Touchdown Against Giants

Denver Broncos backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam didn't see much work in the 27-13 Week 1 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, but he made his looks count by catching all three for 16 yards and a touchdown. Okwuegbunam's touchdown catch was a four-yarder at the goal line from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. On […]

Tim Patrick Finds The End Zone In Week 1

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick caught all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 season-opening win over the New York Giants by a score of 27-13. Patrick's touchdown catch was a two-yarder at the goal line on a play-action fake. The team's best and most consistent receiver […]

Mike Gesicki Held Without A Catch

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was a reliable option for this offense throughout the 2020 campaign. His value was expected to remain solid despite the team adding more weapons on offense. However, Gesicki failed to make an impact during the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. He only saw two targets and […]

Jaylen Waddle Makes A Splash In NFL Debut

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle looked solid during a tough matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 1. He hauled in four of his six targets for 61 yards and one touchdown in the win. The Dolphins were without wide receiver Will Fuller due to him serving his suspension. Both Waddle and DeVante […]

KJ Hamler Leaves Lots Of Points On The Field

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler finished the 27-13 Week 1 win over the New York Giants with three catches on four targets for 41 yards. But Hamler could've had a much bigger game if he hadn't dropped what would have been at least a potential 50-yard touchdown catch after he burnt New York's secondary […]

DeVante Parker Capitalizes In Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker was viewed as the clear No. 1 option for the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. Newly added wideout Will Fuller was inactive while serving his suspension. That means, Parker was the main option with defensive back Stephon Gilmore unavailable. Parker used his size to his advance […]

Noah Fant Begins The Season Strong

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant got off to a strong start in 2021 in the 27-13 Week 1 season-opening win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Fant had a team-high eight targets and caught six of them (tied for the team lead) for 62 scoreless yards. The 23-year-old wasn't really a factor in […]

Salvon Ahmed Quiet In Win Over Patriots

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed is expected to be part of a three-back committee this season. However, Myles Gaskin appeared to be the only reliable option during the Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. Ahmed rushed three times for four yards and hauled in two receptions for 24 yards through the air. […]

Malcolm Brown Posts Dud In Debut

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown was added as insurance in the backfield over the offseason. He was expected to be part of a three-back committee with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. However, Brown struggled heavily in the Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. He rushed five times for 16 yards in his […]

Myles Gaskin Heavily Involved In Week 1 Victory

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was the clear lead back during the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. He rushed nine times for 49 yards and hauled in five receptions for 27 yards in the victory. The Dolphins made sure to get the dual-threat back involved in this tough matchup. Fantasy managers […]

Javonte Williams Heavily Involved In Season Opener

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams saw 14 carries (three more than Melvin Gordon III) for 45 yards (3.2 yards per tote) in the 27-13 Week 1 season-opening victory over the New York Giants. He caught his lone target in the passing game for a four-yard loss. It was nice to see the second-round […]

Tua Tagovailoa Underwhelming In Opener

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been receiving plenty of hype going into his sophomore campaign. The young quarterback worked hard during the offseason and looked solid during the preseason. However, Tagovailoa gave an underwhelming performance in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. He completed 16-of-27 passing attempts for 202 yards and […]

Jose Ramirez Hitless In Third Straight Game

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in an 11-1 loss to the Brewers on Sunday. It was his third straight game without a hit, as he's now 0-for-9 in that span and slashing .143/.308/.286 over his last seven games. Despite the recent slump, Ramirez has still had a nice year […]

Melvin Gordon III Breaks A Big Touchdown Run In Win Over Giants

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III saw three fewer carries (11) than rookie running back Javonte Williams in the 27-13 Week 1 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, but he outproduced him with 101 yards (9.2 yards per carry), including a 70-yard touchdown run to essentially ice the game in the second […]

Hunter Henry Quiet In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was added as an impact red-zone target for this offense over the offseason. However, Henry wasn't able to make much of an impact during the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He hauled in all three of his targets for 31 yards in this one. It was […]

Jonnu Smith Catches All Five Targets

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith made his team debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Smith and Hunter Henry were added in the offseason to give this team big red zone targets. On Sunday, Smith hauled in all five of his targets for 42 yards in the loss. For what it's worth, […]

Bears Lose Two Left Tackles To Injury Sunday Night

Chicago Bears left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) and offensive tackle Larry Borom (ankle) were both removed from the Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Rams due to injury. Peters, the starter, is questionable to return, while Borom is listed as doubtful. The 39-year-old Peters joined the team late in training camp and probably isn't […]
