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 […]

Tyler Kroft Finishes With One Reception

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft posted his biggest game of the season last week, but struggled to carry any momentum into Week 8. Kroft caught his lone target for 11 yards in the win over the New England Patriots. He saw another start with Dawson Knox (illness) sidelined once again. Sadly, there isn't much […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws Pair Of Touchdowns Against Cincy

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for 233 yards on 18-for-30 passing in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He threw two touchdowns and a pick, plus added 20 rushing yards. Tannehill has started to develop a nice rapport with wide receiver Corey Davis, which boosts Tannehill's stock going forward. Consider him a high-end QB2 […]

Joshua Kelley Relegated In Loss To Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley had seven carries for 32 yards during the loss to Denver on Sunday. He also had a catch for negative yardage. The rookie unsurprisingly conceded touches to Justin Jackson, who was effective in both the rushing attack and as a receiver. However, with Troymaine Pope getting more carries, […]

Alvin Kamara Has Big Day Once Again

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was once again the focal point of his offense in Sunday's win. The RB amassed 12 carries for 67 yards and nine receptions for 96 yards on 13 targets. Kamara may not be the most effective rusher as he has not gotten more than 83 yards rushing in […]

John Brown Continues To Struggle

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown has been a fantasy dud this year. He continues to look like the odd man out with Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley posting big numbers basically every week. Brown hauled in one of his two targets for 21 yards in the win over the New England Patriots in Week […]

Drew Brees Tosses For 280 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 31-for-41 for 280 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime win over Chicago on Sunday. The veteran has now tossed for at least 280 yards in the past three games and has thrown five touchdowns to only one pick in that stretch as well. Even without his top […]

Cole Beasley Quiet Versus Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley was coming off the best performance of the season, but wasn't able to carry that momentum into Week 8. He caught both of his targets for 24 yards in the win over the New England Patriots. To be fair, quarterback Josh Allen only attempted 18 passes all game long. […]

Denny Hamlin Hangs On For 11th At Martinsville

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin started from fourth and finished in the 11th position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Hamlin would lead 42 total laps in the event and win the first stage, which would prove to be significant in the end. Halfway through the race, Hamlin's pit crew had a rough pit […]

Hunter Henry Fizzles Again

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry racked up just four catches for 33 yards during the loss to the Broncos on Sunday. With the team leaning on its rushing attack in addition to the duo of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams getting extra attention from Justin Herbert, the 25-year-old wasn't a factor. Henry hasn't […]

Marvin Hall Leads Lions In Receiving

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Hall caught four passes for a team-high 113 yards in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, including catching a huge 73-yarder at one point. He was targeted seven times. With Kenny Golladay exiting with a hip injury, Hall wound up playing a larger role than anticipated. If Golladay is unable […]

Seahawks Defense Makes Some Plays In Week 8

The Seattle Seahawks Defense wishes the game had ended after the third quarter of Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers, because they were playing the best football they had put up all year. They had come away with an interception, a fumble, three sacks and they had allowed just seven points on the day. […]

Greg Olsen Is Shut Out In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen saw his stock fall even farther in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers, and it doesn't appear that there is an end in sight. He caught none of his four targets and his role in this offense appears too limited to have any viability in fantasy. The only […]

Keenan Allen Leads Team In Receptions Against Denver

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen recorded nine catches for 67 yards and a touchdown during the loss to Denver in Week 8. Allen led the way in receptions while also recording his fifth outing of the 2020 campaign with at least 10 targets. The veteran has been as consistent and reliable as they […]
