Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 14 times for 93 rushing yards in the Lions 27-23 loss to the Bears. The veteran also added 21 receiving yards for an impressive debut.

Greg Ward Leads Eagles Wide Receivers In Targets In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward led the Eagles wide receivers in targets in Week 1 with seven. Ward ended up catching five passes for 31 yards in a game where everyone on the Eagles offense except for Dallas Goedert struggled. Ward and quarterback Carson Wentz reportedly had an excellent rapport in training camp, so […]

Matthew Stafford Passes For 297 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24-of-42 passes for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Lions 27-23 loss to the Bears in Week 1. Stafford executed some exceptionally clean drives but not having star receiver Kenny Golladay was not ideal. The Lions took a 17-point lead and began running the football but […]

Tarik Cohen Delivers 47 All-Purpose Yards

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball seven times for 41 yards and added six receiving yards in the Bears win over the Lions in Week 1. Cohen played plenty of snaps but lacked the touches, especially after the Bears went down by 17 points. The box score might not reflect it but […]

Justin Tucker Makes Them Count In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker nailed his only field-goal on Sunday against the Browns, a 41-yard attempt near the end of the first quarter. He also hit all five of his extra-point attempts. With the Ravens' offense continuing to put up points in bunches, the veteran should remain one of the most efficient fantasy kickers […]

Zach Ertz Scores A Week 1 Touchdown

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was thoroughly outplayed by Dallas Goedert in Week 1, but Ertz was able to manage a decent game by scoring a touchdown. In total, Ertz caught three passes for 18 yards. His score came on a five-yard pass in the first quarter from Carson Wentz. The Eagles offense struggled […]

Washington Defense Takes Over Game Vs Eagles

The Washington Football Team defense had a huge day for fantasy in a Week 1 win vs the Eagles.

Allen Robinson II Racks Up 74 Receiving Yards Week 1

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson caught five passes for 74 yards in the Bears thrilling 27-23 win over the Lions in Week 1.

Ian Thomas Sees Cold Start To 2020 Season

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas only managed two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Week 1. With Greg Olsen now out of the picture, Thomas is the new TE1 on Carolina, but he didn't start the 2020 season off on the right foot. The TE still has no competition for his role, […]

Willie Snead IV Scores A Touchdown In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead IV pulled in all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during the Week 1 victory over Cleveland. The Browns undoubtedly had its sights set on containing Lamar Jackson from picking up big gains on the ground, which ultimately opened the door for the Ravens' receiving […]

Greg Olsen Snags A Touchdown In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen did not have the greatest matchup in Week 1, but he managed to finish with some fantasy value. He caught all four of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown. In PPR, that would give him a 12 point day, and you'll take that all day long considering […]

Chris Thompson Quiet In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson had just two touches in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't receive a single carry but caught both of his targets for six yards. Thompson played 12 snaps. Not a great showing for those who thought Thompson in a Jay Gruden offense would look like […]

Jimmy Graham Scores In Bears Debut

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham caught three passes for 25 yards and one touchdown in the Bears comeback victory over the Lions in Week 1. Graham mistimed an easy reception early in the game but bounced back by securing a 2-yard catch for a score to begin a 21-point fourth quarter. The veteran then […]

Dallas Goedert Leads The Eagles In Receiving In Week 1

Anthony Miller Catches Go-Ahead Touchdown

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller tallied four receptions for 75 yards, including the game-winning touchdown, in the Bears 27-23 victory over the Lions in Week 1. It was a quiet first half for Miller but he came alive in the thrilling fourth quarter comeback, capping it off with a beautiful 27-yard touchdown catch. Miller […]

Curtis Samuel Sees Eight Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel saw eight targets in Week 1, but only managed five receptions for 38 yards. Samuel finished tied for third in yards on the team, and didn't have an encouraging start to the 2020 campaign. The Ohio State product should be considered the WR3 on the team, and it's best […]

Antonio Gibson Turns 11 Touches Into 44 Yards

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson had nine carries for 36 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in his NFL-debut Sunday vs Philadelphia. Gibson came into the season with plenty of hype, but was overshadowed by Peyton Barber in this game who had 17 carries and two touchdowns. While Week 1 wasn't […]

Tyler Lockett Is Efficient In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett picked up right where he left off last year in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. He caught all eight of his targets for 92 yards. Lockett and quarterback Russell Wilson have been close to perfect over the last two years, and they'll be looking to continue that this […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Scores Touchdown To Open 2020

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Chark's touchdown salvaged an otherwise disappointing game for the third-year player who was being considered a solid fantasy WR2 this season. It's too early to panic over his workload, but finishing […]

David Montgomery Posts 64 Rushing Yards Week 1

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 13 times for 64 rushing yards and added 10 receiving yards Week 1 against the Lions. The Bears went running-back-by-committee throughout and Montgomery was questionable heading into the game with a groin injury. But the second-year back notched some decent runs and was a contributor on […]

Mark Andrews Has Big Day Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews hauled in five catches for 58 yards and two touchdowns during the decisive win over the Browns on Sunday. With Cleveland looking to contain Lamar Jackson from making significant gains using his legs, Andrews capitalized to have one of the most productive performances of Week 1. The third-year man […]

Corey Clement Takes Over In Week 1 After Injuries Strike

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement took over the Eagles backfield in Week 1. Starter Miles Sanders (hamstring) was out, giving the start to Boston Scott. Scott then had to leave with an injury of his own, leaving the backfield to Clement. He ended up running the ball six times for 19 yards and caught […]

D.J. Moore Gets Four Catches In Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore had a quiet Week 1 to the 2020 season, getting four receptions on nine targets for 54 yards. Despite a high-scoring affair with the Raiders, it was Robby Anderson and Christian McCaffrey who shined instead of Moore. It was encouraging to see him lead the team in targets, but […]

Mitchell Trubisky Catches Fire In Comeback Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky completed 20-of-36 passes for 242 yards and three touchdowns in the Bears furious comeback win over the Lions 27-23 in Week 1. The Bears offense sputtered for much of the game, especially on third down as they failed to convert on their first seven conversions. But Trubisky got rolling in […]

D.K. Metcalf Goes Long In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf doesn't catch every target thrown his way, but he makes big plays happen when he does catch them. He caught four of his eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. His 38-yard touchdown was the second-biggest play in the game for […]

Peyton Barber Leads Washington Backfield

Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber ran for 29 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns in a win over the Eagles Sunday. The 17 carries were more than rookie Antonio Gibson (nine) and J.D. McKissic (three) as the game-script heavily favored the steady, yet unspectacular, veteran in Barber. The backfield split was even […]

Marquise Brown Productive In Week 1 Victory

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown secured five of his six targets for 101 yards during the Week 1 win over the Browns. With Cleveland focusing most of its attention on stopping Lamar Jackson and his ability to find significant gains on the ground, the door was open for Hollywood to make some noise on […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Catches Touchdown In NFL Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut, a Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott, starting in place of the injured Miles Sanders (hamstring), ran the ball nine times for 35 yards and caught two passes for 19 yards in Week 1.

Chris Carson Salvages His Day Through The Air

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson couldn't get much going on the ground, but he was able to salvage his day through the air. He finished his day with six carries for 21 yards to go with six catches for 45 yards and two touchdowns. Carson and the rest of the running backs just couldn't […]
