Logan Thomas Catches Five Passes

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas caught five passes for 45 yards on Thursday night in the 30-29 win over the New York Giants. Thomas finished with just 39 yards last week, so he could be a touchdown-dependent tight end moving forward if his yardage total stays similar to the past two games. Seven […]

Taylor Heinicke Throws For 336 Yards In Win

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke finished with 336 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in Thursday night's 30-29 win over the New York Giants. The dual-threat didn't rely too much on his rushing ability in this game, as he only had six rushing yards on four attempts. Heinicke has proven to be a viable […]

J.D. McKissic Finds The End Zone On Thursday Night

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic had an impressive performance in Week 2, finishing with five receptions for 83 receiving yards and four carries for 10 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson carried the ball 13 times for 69 yards and added two receptions for four yards against the New York Giants on Thursday night. The sophomore got a touchdown opportunity taken away by J.D. McKissic, so this ultimately led to him having a quiet night for fantasy managers. Gibson […]

Adam Humphries Catches Seven Passes

Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries caught seven passes for 44 yards on eight targets in Thursday night's win against the New York Giants.

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught 11 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in Thursday night's 30-29 win against the New York Giants.

Alex Cobb Gets The Victory In Return

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (8-3) showed that his month-and-a-half stint on the injured list didn't keep him from staying in form, securing the win in the 9-3 game against the Chicago White Sox.
