Matt Ryan Struggles In Loss To Eagles

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan struggled in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Ryan completed 21 of 35 passes for 164 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

Elijah Mitchell Rushes For 104 Yards During Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell carried 19 times for 104 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. The rookie running back was given the primary workload after Raheem Mostert suffered a minor knee injury in the first quarter of their Week 1 win. Mitchell will likely be […]

Trey Lance Throws Touchdown Pass During Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance completed his lone pass attempt for a five-yard touchdown to Trent Sherfield in the first quarter to put the 49ers up 7-0. Unfortunately, this was the only significant production Lance delivered during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. Garoppolo looked good against a bad defense and will […]

Sterling Shepard Finds The End Zone, Leads Giants In Receiving

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught seven of nine targets for 113 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Pharaoh Brown Posts 67 Yards In Victory

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown had himself a solid day in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. Brown caught four passes for 67 yards, including a 29-yard reception. The big tight end tied for second on the team in targets and clearly caught the eye of quarterback Tyrod Taylor. He's largely been unproven at the […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Racks Up 86 Yards And A Touchdown In Opener

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in the team's 37-21 Week 1 defeat against the Houston Texans.

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. Collins actually hauled in a touchdown, but it was called off because of a pass interference call- albeit a questionable one- so it could have been a more fruitful day. It's encouraging that […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Throws For Over 300 Yards In Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 314 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions.

Chris Boswell Hits Three Field Goals

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell went a perfect 3-for-3 in field goals in a 23-16 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 1.

Danny Amendola Hauls In Touchdown

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola corralled all five of his targets for 34 yards and a score in a 37-21 win over Jacksonville. Amendola was utilized primarily as a short-yardage target, as evidenced by his 6.8 yards per reception average. The veteran wideout hooked up with Tyrod Taylor on a crossing route in the […]

Dalvin Cook Gets Plenty Of Work In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook racked up 61 yards off 20 carries during the overtime loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also added to his PPR appeal, catching six of his seven targets for 43 yards, and found the end zone off a one-yard run halfway through the fourth quarter. Although a fumble […]

Trevor Lawrence Up And Down In Regular Season Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence went 28-for-51 with 332 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in a 37-21 Week 1 loss to the Houston Texans. Lawrence and the entire team's performance against a very poor Texans team was largely disappointing. Lawrence put up some decent numbers, but most of his production came after the […]

Steelers D/ST Scores On Blocked Punt

The Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST came up big in a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills in a 23-16 win in Week 1. Pittsburgh's defense held one of the better offenses in the league to just one touchdown while their special teams blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The […]

Eric Ebron Catches One Pass In Win

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught one of two targets for 19 yards in a 23-16 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. The entire Pittsburgh offense struggled to get much going against Buffalo until the fourth quarter, but Ebron's one-catch performance is still a disappointing outing for fantasy gamers. That being said, […]

Brandin Cooks Tallies Team-High 132 Receiving Yards

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught five of seven targets for 132 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. Cooks enjoyed some excellent games against Jacksonville's secondary last year and the opening game of this season was no different, as he torched the Jaguars. The veteran wideout connected with Tyrod Taylor on a […]

Marshon Lattimore, Saints Agree To Five-Year Extension

The New Orleans Saints and cornerback Marshon Lattimore agreed to a five-year, $97.6 million contract extension on Sunday that could be worth up to $100 million ($68.3 million in guarantees), according to sources. The deal includes the largest full guarantee at signing for a cornerback in NFL history. Lattimore helped the Saints win their 2021 […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable On Monday Night

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) is questionable for the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. It's unknown if the sickness is COVID-19 related. However, it's more unwelcome news for Jacobs, who also battled a toe injury throughout the week. Nonetheless, if he can't go for Monday Night Football, Kenyan Drake will automatically […]

Tyler Kroft Quiet In Loss To Panthers

New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft put together some nice performances during the preseason. Sadly, he wasn't able to carry that momentum into the regular season. Quarterback Zach Wilson was pressured all game long, so he was forced to throw short passes to his tight ends. Kroft finished with three receptions on five targets […]

Mecole Hardman Catches Three Balls In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman had a quiet Week 1 versus the Cleveland Browns. The speedy receiver was only targeted three times and hauled in all those targets for 19 yards.

Chase Claypool Goes For 45 Yards In Win

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught three of his five targets for 45 yards in a 23-16 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, while also adding a 25-yard rush.

Braxton Berrios Surprises In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios was not expected to be a huge factor in the offense heading into the regular season. However, Berrios was heavily involved during the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He hauled in five of his seven targets for 51 yards in this game. To be fair, the […]

Saquon Barkley Logs 10 Carries For 26 Yards In Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) rushed for 26 yards on 10 attempts while catching one of three targets for one yard during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Denver Broncos. He returned to action Sunday for the first time since tearing his ACL and MCL back in Week 2 of the 2020 season. […]

Tyler Boyd Unproductive In Season Opener

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd didn't have the most productive outing to begin the year, finishing the Week 1 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings with just three catches for 32 yards. Although this performance was undoubtedly unwelcome for fantasy managers, the veteran should be fine moving ahead. However, with so many mouths to […]

Travis Kelce Scores Twice In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continued to prove why he's the top option at his position in Week 1 versus the Cleveland Browns. Not only did Kelce catch six of his seven targets for 76 yards, he also scored a pair of touchdowns on the afternoon. Kelce scored on an 11-yard pass in […]

Blake Snell Pulled From Sunday's Start With Injury

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (groin) exited Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first inning of their 8-0 loss. According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, he experienced left adductor tightness, which is usually a groin injury. The latest news adds on to what has been a disappointing first […]

Corey Davis Catches Two Touchdowns In Team Debut

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis was the clear No. 1 option during the Week 1 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The Jets were without Jamison Crowder (COVID), so Davis was their main option on offense. He hauled in five of his seven targets for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Fantasy […]
