Justin Dunn Only Lasts Two Innings

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn have up one run on one hit and five walks through two innings in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. Dunn has been a bizarre pitcher lately as he hasn't been allowing many hits, but has been walking everyone. Through his last four starts, Dunn has allowed seven hits and […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Throws for 259 Yards, Two Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had a solid 2020 debut, completing 19 of 33 passes for 259 and two interceptions. He had a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but didn't have much help in the receiving game with both Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) inactive. The Cardinals put a lot of […]

Joe Burrow Plays Relatively Well Against Chargers

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 193 yards and an interception on 22-for-36 passing during the narrow loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Parris Campbell Catches Six Passes In Season Opener

Indianapolis Colts second-year wide receiver Parris Campbell had a productive start to the season, catching six passes for 71 yards. It is also encouraging that he had nine targets on the day.

Cardinals Defense Performs Adequately In Week 1

The Cardinals Defense did a solid job containing the San Francisco 49ers offense in Week 1. They held the 49ers to 20 points in the game and while they didn't force any turnovers, they did come up with three sacks in the game. The Cardinals defense doesn't project to be a particularly reliable fantasy option […]

Dan Arnold Reels In Two Catches For 21 Yards In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Dan Arnold caught both of his two targets in Week 1 and gained 21 yards on the day. Despite the low yardage total, Arnold was still third on the team in receiving yards in a game where DeAndre Hopkins accounted for over half the team's production through the air. The team's […]

Keenan Allen Disappoints In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen caught only four of his eight targets for 37 yards during the narrow win over the Bengals in Week 1.

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines found the end zone twice in his Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

However, it is difficult […]

Mike Williams Racks Up 69 Yards In Win

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) finished with four catches (nine targets) for 69 yards during the win over the Bengals on Sunday. Williams' status heading into Week 1 was uncertain, and although he was able to suit up, questions remained regarding his workload against Cincinnati. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his […]

Christian Kirk Catches Just One Pass In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk was a non-factor in the team's 24-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Kirk was targeted five times in the game and came down with just one catch that went for zero yards. It was an extremely disappointing performance for Kirk in his first game playing […]

He was targeted a whopping 16 times in the game and reeled in 14 catches for 151 yards, helping lead the team to a 24-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. No other Cardinal had over five targets or more […]

Philip Rivers Throws Two Picks In Indianapolis Debut

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers threw two interceptions in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rivers also threw for 363 yards and a touchdown, completing 78 percent of his throws.

Hunter Henry Gets Plenty Of Attention In Week 1

Leonard Fournette Receives Only Five Carries

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished his debut with five carries for five yards and one reception for 14 yards. After coach Bruce Arians promised a solid role for the new RB in Week 1, it was quite disappointing that Fournette couldn't muster much of anything while also getting a very limited amount […]

Kenyan Drake Gains 65 Yards, Scores Touchdown

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake was the team's primary ball-carrier as expected in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Drake rushed the ball 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown. He also added two catches on two targets for five yards. Chase Edmonds emerged as the team's top pass-catching option out of […]

Michael Thomas Injures Ankle In Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was observed limping off the field at the two-minute warning during the win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Raiders Defense Gives Up 30 Points In Win

The Las Vegas Raiders defense gave up 30 points in their Week 1 win against the Carolina Panthers. They also did not force any turnovers and only sacked the opposing quarterback once.

Joshua Kelley Has Productive Debut

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley ran for 60 yards and a touchdown off of 12 carries during the win over the Bengals in Week 1. The rookie was productive in his first game as a professional, maintaining an efficient 5.0 YPC on the day. Unsurprisingly, he conceded touches to Austin Ekeler, who had […]

Hunter Renfrow Quiet In Opener

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught just two passes for 21 yards in the season opener win against the Carolina Panthers. Renfrow comes off a year where he was a valuable asset for the Raiders, catching 49 balls for over 600 yards. Unfortunately, these are not the most attractive fantasy stats. Renfrow will […]

Browns Defense Shredded By Baltimore

The Cleveland Browns Defense struggled to contain the Baltimore Ravens in a 38-6 loss in Week 1. Cleveland managed just two sacks and was able to force one turnover in the loss. Fortunately most fantasy gamers didn't start the Browns defense as expectations weren't high for Cleveland in this matchup as the Ravens were one […]

Darren Waller Catches Six Passes In Win
