Tom Brady Throws Three Picks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 22-for-38 for 209 yards and three picks in the Week 9 loss to the Saints. It was an off-night for the Bucs who couldn't seem to get in sync at all. As a result, this was Brady's worst performance of the season. Nevertheless, the QB has had some […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Leads Colts In Receiving Yards

The Indianapolis Colts might have the most difficult receiving corps to predict in the NFL. The team continues to spread the ball around to a plethora of options, leading to no one really breaking out. Case in point: in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught four passes for a […]

Jonathan Taylor Scores Touchdown, Loses Fumble

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor continued his uneven rookie campaign on Sunday in a loss to the Ravens. On the bright side, Taylor scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. On the other hand, Taylor had just six carries for 27 yards and lost a fumble. He also added two catches for seven […]

Derrick Henry Shut Down By Bears Defense

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed the ball 21 times for 68 yards in Week 9 against the Bears.

No Week 9 Touchdowns For Philip Rivers

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers was 25-for-43 for 227 yards in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he was unable to push the ball into the end zone.

Ryan Tannehill Wins Despite Efficiency Struggles

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 10 of 21 pass attempts for 158 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Bears. The quarterback lacked his usual efficiency, completing under 50 percent of his pass attempts for the first time this season. Even so, Tannehill played turnover-free football for the fourth time on the […]

Tyler Lockett Largely Quiet Against Bills

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught just four passes for 40 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lockett's had a strange 2020 season, with a pair of three-touchdown games in the six contests, but then no more than 44 yards and zero touchdowns in the other four. While he has a high […]

D.K. Metcalf Leads Team In Receiving Against Bills

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf continued to show why he's one of the top wide receivers in the NFL on Sunday. In a 44-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Metcalf recorded seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. He saw a team-high nine targets. Metcalf now has recorded 90 or more yards in […]

Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson scored a fifth-place finish in his final start in the No. 48 in Sunday's Season Finale 500 at Phoenix Raceway.

Russell Wilson Posts Big Numbers In Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson didn't get off to the greatest start in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he managed to post solid fantasy numbers by the end of the game.

Gadelha was only able to […]

Xiaonan Yan Continues To Impress

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler was targeted 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, catching six of those passes for 75 yards. Hamler entered the game with just 18 targets on the season, so this explosion in usage was a bit unexpected. It's unclear if we can expect this trend to […]

Jerry Jeudy Has Huge Week 9

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught seven of his 14 targets in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with 125 yards and a touchdown. The rookie has struggled to find consistent production this season, but he's been targeted 24 times over the past two games. If we follow the targets, we should expect […]

Brad Keselowski Scores Second-Place Finish At Phoenix

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski piloted his No. 2 Ford to a runner-up finish in Sunday's Season Finale 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Keselowski started from the third position but struggled to find speed in the early stages, running behind his championship competitors. After some adjustments, Keselowski came to life, and he overtook Chase Elliott for the […]

Phillip Lindsay, Melvin Gordon III Quiet Against Falcons

The Denver Broncos rushing game never got going on Sunday against the Falcons, with running backs Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon III struggling to find rushing room and rushing opportunities in a game where Denver was down big at times.

Steelers Defense Forces Two Turnovers In Week 9

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense notched two sacks and forced two turnovers in a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.

Eric Ebron Finds End Zone In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught three of six targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.

Chase Claypool Finishes With 13 Targets

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught eight of 13 targets for 69 yards in a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Claypool's 13 targets and eight catches led the team while he finished third in receiving yardage behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson. The only complaint is that the rookie didn't […]

Denny Hamlin Finishes A Distant Fourth At Phoenix

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin was never a factor and finished in the fourth position in Sunday's Season Finale 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Hamlin won this event in 2019 when it was the penultimate race of the season, but the No. 11 team could never make any gains on his competition, and Hamlin failed to […]

James Conner Disappears In Week 9 Win

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried the ball nine times for 22 yards and lost two yards on his two receptions in a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.

Gabriel Davis Catches Touchdown Against Seattle

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis caught four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was targeted five times, which ranked third on the team. Davis out-targeting Cole Beasley is an interesting wrinkle from Sunday's game, though it likely doesn't mean a ton in the short term, […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Best Game Of Season In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. finished with seven catches for 146 yards and a touchdown during the narrow loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 29 of 42 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.

John Brown Finally Breaks Out Of Slump

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown's last four games have been fairly rough, as he's caught just five balls for 63 yards on 13 targets during that span. Brown topped those numbers against the Seahawks on Sunday, catching eight passes for 99 yards in his team's victory. It was a reminder of what Brown was […]

James Robinson Plays Well In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had 99 yards and a touchdown off 25 carries during the loss to the Texans on Sunday. The rookie came in handy and helped take some of the pressure off the debuting Jake Luton, who had over 300 yards passing and a touchdown. With Gardner Minshew II (thumb) potentially […]
