D.J. Moore Ties For Team Lead In Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore tied for the team lead in targets with 10 in a win over the Washington Football Team. Moore produced a disappointing 5-37-0 line on the wealth of opportunities he saw, though quarterback Teddy Bridgewater didn't have much time to look downfield for the explosive wideout. Still, it's encouraging to […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was targeted three times in a Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, catching all three for a total of 38 yards. Goedert had caught at least four passes in every game since Week 8, so this was certainly a bit of a letdown in a game where quarterback […]

DeSean Jackson Catches A Touchdown On His Only Target

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson was only targeted once in a Week 16 loss, but he made it count, catching an 81-yard touchdown.

Stephen Anderson Catches Four Balls In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers tight Stephen Anderson caught six of his four targets for 48 yards in Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos. Anderson saw the start in place of Hunter Henry (COVID-19) on Sunday and made the most of his opportunity. Despite the nice performance, Henry is expected in Week 17 and that would limit […]

Joel Embiid Out Sunday With Back Tightness

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) was a late scratch Sunday ahead of their contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Embiid was originally slated to play the second half of a back-to-back, a welcome sight for fantasy managers, but was ruled out just before gametime. This will likely be a common trend in the shorter season, […]

Victor Oladipo Will Not Play Sunday Night Due To Rest

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (guard) will not play Sunday night against the Boston Celtics.
