Dion Lewis Scores Touchdown In Loss To Bears

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis had 10 carries for 20 yards and a touchdown after starting running back Saquon Barkley (knee) left with an injury. Lewis added four catches for 36 yards in the loss at Chicago. Lewis will be a popular waiver wire add, but he won't take over the role Barkley […]

Todd Gurley Finishes With 21 Carries

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II finished the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys with 21 rushes for 61 yards. Despite a high-scoring affair, it was the aerial attack of the Falcons that did most of the damage. On the bright side, Gurley has had essentially no competition for his RB1 role on the […]

Ben Roethlisberger Tosses Two TDs In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 29 of 41 passes for 311 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Roethlisberger found rookie Chase Claypool on a deep pass down the left sideline for an 84-yard touchdown in the second quarter and then hooked up with […]

Jake Elliott Kicks Two Field Goals And An Extra Point In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 2. He connected on an extra point and on two field goals, one from 38 yards out and the other from 33. It was a solid performance from Elliott surrounded by a very rough one by the Eagles offense. Elliott should remain a […]

Jimmy Graham Tallies One Reception In Win

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham caught only one pass for 18 yards in the Bears 17-17-13 win over the Giants. The veteran made a nice grab on an out-route for an early first down in the first quarter. But after that, Graham disappeared from the game plan and the Bears offense struggled in the […]

Matt Ryan Tosses Four Touchdowns

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 24-for-36 with 273 yards and four touchdowns in the 40-39 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. It was another productive outing for Ryan, and it has become clear that the defense cannot hold up against opponents based on the past two weeks. With more pressure on the […]

Nick Bosa Likely Has Torn ACL, Concern For Solomon Thomas

The San Francisco 49ers Defense suffered multiple injuries in their Week 2 contest against the Jets. Star defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) likely suffered a torn ACL according to head coach Kyle Shanahan and fellow lineman Solomon Thomas (knee) also suffered an injury that is feared to be serious. It was a rough day for […]

Darnell Mooney Catches First NFL Touchdown

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught three passes for 36 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown, in the Bears slim victory over the Giants 17-13. The rookie made a nice play in the end zone, coming back to the ball on a scramble play from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky that led to his first NFL score. […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Doesn't Record An Offensive Stat In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was targeted twice in the Eagles Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was unable to come up with either target, leaving him with a stat line full of zeros. Arcega-Whiteside was hyped as potentially having a significant role in the Eagles offense this season, but he […]

Mackenzie Dern Delivers On The Mat

Mackenzie Dern (9-1) continued to show her ground dominance, forcing veteran Randa Markos to tap out due to an armbar in the first round. Three of Dern's four UFC victories have come by first-round submission. Dern went for a kick early and slipped. Markos jumped into the lion's den and it was over from there. […]

Greg Ward Targeted Just Once In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward saw only one target in Week 2, catching it for a five yard gain. With Carson Wentz throwing 43 passes, it was disappointing to see only one go in Ward's direction. DeSean Jackson and rookie Jalen Reagor played in two-wide sets, with tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert […]

Anthony Miller Fails To Catch A Pass In Week 2

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller was held without a catch in the Bears 17-13 win over the Giants. Miller was targeted three times but failed to make some plays with his limited opportunities. The Bears offense was cruising in the first half but ship wrecked in the second. Miller's fantasy value is tied to […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Goes Big In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. seized his opportunity in a big way in Week 2. He finished the day with 12 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also added two receptions for 40 yards. This was the hope for Henderson when he entered the league last season. It's unclear if his […]

Dallas Goedert Makes Four Catches In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught four passes in a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, gaining 30 yards. Goedert ended up second on the team in targets with eight, but couldn't do much with those targets as the entire Eagles offense struggled at home. It was still encouraging to see Goedert […]

Tarik Cohen Posts Only 27 Total Yards

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball five times for 12 yards and added one 15-yard reception in the Bears win over the Giants in Week 2. Cohen was featured early but this became David Montgomery's game by the second half. Cohen is extremely talented and is also coming off signing a three-year […]

Darren Stewart Goes The Limit But Takes The Loss

Darren Stewart (12-5) took the third round with Kevin Holland but was unable to get the win, dropping a split-decision loss on Saturday. Stewart landed three of his eight attempted takedowns, controlling Holland for 4:09 of the 15-minute bout. The Dentist now moves to 5-6 (one no contest) during his tenure in the Octagon. Stewart […]

Jalen Reagor Catches All Four Of His Targets In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor caught all of the passes thrown his way in Week 2, totaling 41 yards. It was a nice bump after Reagor only caught one pass last week. He'll get more and more involved in the offense as time goes by, especially since he missed a lot of practice […]

Allen Robinson II Quiet In Week 2

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II caught three passes for 33 yards in the Bears 17-13 win over the Giants in Week 2. It wasn't for a lack of trying as Robinson led the team with nine targets but struggled to connect with an inconsistent Mitch Trubisky. Robinson remains the number one wide receiver […]

Tyler Eifert Finds End Zone Against Tennessee

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert was targeted six times in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He brought in three of them for 36 yards and a touchdown. At a shallow fantasy position, Eifert's usage in this one is interesting, though the fact that he was targeted just once back in Week 1 is […]

Ronald Jones II Upstaged In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II took a backseat to Leonard Fournette in Week 2. Jones II posted 23 rushing yards on seven carries with a touchdown and caught both of his targets for four receiving yards. Fortunately for Jones II, he punched in a seven-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to […]

Keelan Cole Catches Touchdown Against Titans

For the second week in a row, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a touchdown from quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Cole was an afterthought last year, but has emerged as a key weapon for Minshew in 2020. He was targeted seven times, catching six passes for 58 yards and the score. Cole's becoming a […]

Zach Ertz Catches Five Balls In A Week 2 Loss

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes in Week 2, gaining 42 yards. Ertz was targeted seven times in a game where the Eagles offense struggled in many different aspects. Ertz was behind Dallas Goedert in targets by one, but Ertz was the one that made better use of the balls thrown his […]

Kevin Holland Takes Split Decision To Open Main Card

In his closest call to date, Kevin Holland (19-5) squeaked out a split-decision victory over Darren Stewart. Holland led in the strikes department, landing 74 significant strikes (163 total). His takedown game was not working Saturday, though, whiffing on his three attempts. The third round was a rough one for Holland, as he suffered a […]

DeSean Jackson Catches Six Passes In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson caught six of his nine targets in Week 2, gaining 64 scoreless yards. The Eagles offense as a whole was a mess in this one, but Jackson was at least able to come down with the most catches and the most receiving yards on the team. A matchup with […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Solid Week 2

The targets weren't quite there, but Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. managed to bring all four of the ones he got in for receptions, finishing with 84 yards in his team's Week 2 loss to the Titans. Chark's not getting the ball as much as expected in an offense that's been spreading it […]

Boston Scott Gets Seven Touches In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott only touched the ball seven times in a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With Miles Sanders (hamstring) back on the field and leading the Eagles offense, Scott settled back into his backup role. He ran the ball four times for 19 yards, adding three catches for […]

Chris Thompson Scores Week 2 Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson scored his first touchdown of the 2020 season on Sunday, finishing with three catches for 20 yards and a score. He also added two rushes for seven yards. Of course, Thompson only getting five touches in this loss to the Titans is worrisome, especially with a game script that […]

Miles Sanders Totals 131 Yards In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) looked healthy in his return to the lineup in Week 2. He ran the ball 20 times for 95 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 36 more yards. Sanders missed Week 1 and was questionable for this one, but he looked good and was easily the […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Receives Five Carries

Yes, you read the headline right. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. had been teased as the kind of player who'd be involved all over the field for the Jags. We saw that in action in the team's Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, as Shenault was used in the backfield, getting five […]

Leonard Fournette Explodes For 103 Yards, Two Scores

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette powered his way to 103 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a 31-17 victory over the Panthers. Fournette operated as the second-half running back and looked pretty impressive doing so, as he averaged 8.6 yards per carry. The former Jaguars running back broke loose for a 46-yard scamper […]
