Chris Carson Runs Well In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson saw his team keep five running backs on the active roster as insurance for him, and he promptly made everyone look stupid for being worried about him with a strong performance in Week 1.

James Robinson Disappoints In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson shockingly only managed 54 total yards on eight touches in Week 1 while playing behind fellow running back Carlos Hyde, who had 11 touches in the game.

Justin Jefferson Plays Well Despite Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson finished the Week 1 loss to the Bengals with five catches for 71 yards. A shoulder injury had plagued him during the preseason, so it was a welcome sight for fantasy managers to see him out there. Although it would have been nice if he caught a few more […]

Nico Collins Catches Just One Pass

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught just one of three targets for seven yards in his NFL debut against the Jaguars.
