Denzel Mims Leads Jets In Receiving Yards Versus Chiefs

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims was expected to have a fairly significant role in the passing attack with the offense banged up. Sadly, quarterback Sam Darnold was unable to get much going on offense. Mims saw three targets, but hauled in two of them for 42 yards in the Week 8 loss to […]

Javon Wims Ejected In Bears Loss

Chicago Bears wide receiver Javon Wims was ejected in the third quarter of the Bears 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. Wims caught one pass for nine yards and a first down in the first half but lost his cool in the third quarter. Replays appeared to show, without provocation, Wims walking […]

La'Mical Perine Held In Check In Week 8

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine continues to split up the carries with veteran Frank Gore in the backfield. Honestly, it's unclear why head coach Adam Gase continues to use Gore as the lead back on a winless football team. Perine rushed eight times for 27 yards and caught two receptions for six yards […]

Darnell Mooney Adds Touchdown To Solid Week 8

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught five passes for 69 yards and one touchdown in the team's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. The rookie flashed his speed on a beautiful 50-yard reception and added a touchdown in the red zone as the Bears erased a 10-point deficit to force overtime. […]

Anthony Miller Flashes With Eight Receptions

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller caught eight passes for 73 yards in the Bears overtime loss to the Saints 26-23 in Week 8. Miller saw a team-high 11 targets in the game and enjoyed his most active top-to-bottom performance of the season. The Bears have made a concerted effort to get Miller involved early […]

Frank Gore Rushes 10 Times Against Kansas City

New York Jets running back Frank Gore for some reason continues to be the lead back for this offense. The veteran back has been unable to do much damage with this horrendous offensive line. He rushed 10 times for 30 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy owners holding onto […]

Allen Robinson II Snags Third Touchdown In Defeat

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II caught six passes for 87 yards with one touchdown in the Bears 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. Robinson was quiet early but entered the action with a bang, snagging a beautiful 24-yard pass for a touchdown in the first half. Robinson received seven targets […]

David Montgomery Posts 105 All-Purpose Yards In Loss

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 21 times for 89 yards and added 16 receiving yards in the Bears overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. The numbers may not bear it out but this was one of Montgomery's better efforts. The second-year back was able to continue to break tackles […]

Nick Foles Falls Short In Overtime

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles completed 28-of-41 passes for 272 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Bears crushing 26-23 loss to the Saints in Week 8. The Bears offense got off to a modestly efficient start in the first half, posting 13 points and hitting on some big plays. Foles worked the play-action […]

Sam Darnold Tries His Best Versus Chiefs

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has not thrown a touchdown pass since Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. To be fair, his weapons on offense are awful, but Darnold does not look good out there. He completed 18 of 30 passing attempts for 113 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss […]

Nick Folk Kicks Two Field Goals In Loss

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk has surprisingly been a decent fantasy option over the last few weeks. In Week 8, Folk connected on both his field goal attempts in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Folk accounted for seven of the 21 points that the Pats scored in this game. He should remain a […]

Damiere Byrd Hauls In Three Passes

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd remains involved in the offense on a weekly basis. The Pats are banged up at receiver right now, so Byrd was expected to see plenty of targets in this one. He finished with three receptions on four targets for 39 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills […]

Nelson Agholor Held Without A Catch

So much for that whole "Nelson Agholor is the WR1 for the Raiders" thing, as he finished Sunday's game against the Browns with no catches on two targets. He was still third among the team's wide receivers in targets in a game where the weather put a damper on the passing game, so don't go […]

Jakobi Meyers Gets Targeted 10 Times In Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was set up for a big game with the offense banged up. Meyers saw 10 targets, but was only able to haul in six of them for 58 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This is the second straight week that Meyers has finished […]

James White Becoming Forgotten In Patriots Offense

New England Patriots running back James White has been fairly quiet throughout the 2020 season. Sadly, things didn't get better for White during the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He rushed twice for zero yards and caught two receptions for 35 yards in the loss. Quarterback Cam Newton has not been able to […]

Rex Burkhead Fails To Get Anything Going In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead has not been able to do much damage on the field since his two touchdown performance in Week 3. He finished with six rushing attempts for 26 yards and one reception for five yards in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. At this point, fantasy owners […]

Josh Jacobs Sees Huge Workload In Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs rushed 31 times in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns, finishing with 128 yards. He failed to bring in his only target. Wind and rain led to this being a run-heavy game for both teams, which is how Jacobs set season highs in both attempts and yards. Don't […]

Martin Truex Jr. Has Loose Wheel, Finishes 22nd At Martinsville

Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. finished in the 22nd position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Coming into Sunday's race, Truex's only chance to qualify for the championship race was to win. Truex won the June race at the half-mile track and led 129 laps in this event. On a restart with just […]

Derek Carr Throws Touchdown Against Browns

It was a windy day in Cleveland, which led the Las Vegas Raiders to run the ball 45 times against just 24 pass attempts (and two sacks) for quarterback Derek Carr. Carr did the best he could with those attempts, going for 15-for-24 for 112 yards and a touchdown. Still, there wasn't much he could […]

Jonnu Smith Quiet In Week 8

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith caught two passes for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Those were Smith's only two targets. After a strong start to the season with five touchdowns in the first four games, Smith now had four total catches in the past three games. Smith is looking less […]

Damien Harris Rushes For Over 100 Yards In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has now put together two 100-yard rushing performances this season. In Week 8, he rushed 16 times for 102 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Harris continues to be the lead back in New England, but has limited fantasy value. The Pats basically […]

A.J. Brown Finds End Zone Against Bengals

It wasn't a huge game from him, but a touchdown salvaged a quiet Week 8 for Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown. Brown caught four passes for just 24 yards and took a backseat to Corey Davis at times. It's looking like Brown's not the true No. 1 receiver on this Titans team right now, […]

Cam Newton Makes Crucial Mistake In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton made the most out of a bad situation with both of his top receivers sidelined in Week 8. He completed 15 of 25 passing attempts for 174 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. Newton also rushed nine times for 54 yards and one touchdown, which saved his fantasy […]

Corey Davis Leads Titans In Receiving Against Bengals

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught eight passes for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Davis led the team in receptions, targets, and yards, and saw double-digit targets for the second week in a row. We're finally seeing the Corey Davis we thought we'd see when the Titans used […]

Jared Cook Has Touchdown Catch

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook finished Week 8 with five receptions for 51 yards and a score on seven targets. Cook remained one of the top receiving options for Drew Brees given the injuries at WR and he produced. The TE now has over 50 yards in two of the past three games […]

Ryan Blaney Scores Second-Place Finish At Martinsville

Penske Racing's Ryan Blaney started from the 10th position and finished second in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Blaney was running well at the start but was caught speeding just before the end of the first stage. Blaney would slowly make his way through the field, finishing fourth in the second stage and then […]

Gabriel Davis Held Catchless In Week 8

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis has been buried in the depth chart for most of the season. He wasn't able to get much going during the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots. Davis finished with zero receptions on two targets in this one. To be fair, quarterback Josh Allen only attempted 18 […]

Derrick Henry Hits 100-Yard Mark Against Bengals

Even in a game where his team trailed for most of the day, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry still managed to get his chance to shine. Henry had 18 carries, finishing with 112 yards and a touchdown. Cincinnati struggled to contain the Titans run game, with Jeremy McNichols also adding 49 yards on four […]

Tre'Quan Smith Gets 43 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre' Quan Smith compiled five receptions for 43 yards on seven targets in Week 8. Even with the absence of key receivers such as Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, Smith has not taken advantage of that the past few weeks. The WR has totaled 43, 54, and eight receiving yards […]
