Chris Herndon Hauls In All His Targets

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon was able to haul in all six of his targets, but finished with only 37 receiving yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Jets offense looked awful, so Herndon made the most of his chances. He'll likely be targeted quite a bit in this offense, which […]

Breshad Perriman Quiet On Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman was listed as the No. 1 option heading into their Week 1 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. However, Perriman did not perform like a leading receiver and finished with three receptions for 17 yards in the loss. He only saw three targets during the entire game, but the […]

Jamison Crowder Shines In Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder was basically the lone bright spot for the team during their 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Jets looked awful in just about every area in this one. However, Crowder was able to haul in seven receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown. His lone touchdown was […]

Frank Gore Has Uninspiring Performance

New York Jets running back Frank Gore was given extra touches with the loss of Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) during the first half. Sadly, Gore finished with 24 rushing yards on six attempts in the 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 37-year-old running back is starting to look his age, but could see an extended […]

Le'Veon Bell Departs Early Versus Bills

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) was expected to bounce back with a revamped offensive line, but that didn't quite happen during his first game of the 2020 season. He rushed six times for 14 yards and had two receptions for 32 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Bell injured his […]

Sam Darnold Has Rough Week 1 Outing

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold did not begin the 2020 season like he would've wanted. He completed 21 of 35 passes for 215 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Darnold looked awful out there, but to be fair he doesn't have much talent around him. There […]

Tyler Higbee Is Quiet In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was unable to put up a big night in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. He caught three of his four targets for 40 yards, and he was the victim of an offense that saw it's touchdowns go to running backs. Higbee was the team's lead tight end […]

Cooper Kupp Is Held In Check For Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was unable to live up to the hype in Week 1 due to the well-coached Dallas Cowboys Defense. He caught four of his five targets for 40 yards. Kupp has never been known as a big-play guy, but it was still unfortunate to see him fail to break […]

Cam Akers Is Stifled In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers was just a few carries behind teammate Malcolm Brown, but he was far less efficient. He had 14 totes for 39 yards to go with one catch for four yards. That's an average of just 2.87 yards per touch. Even behind an offensive line like the Rams, that's […]

Robert Woods Puts Up Some Big Plays In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was explosive in the team's Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught six of his eight targets for 105 yards, and he showed that his consistency from the last two seasons will be remaining. He hardly ever gives you the highest ceiling possible, but he gives […]

Malcolm Brown Has A Big Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown was the lead back in Week 1 against the Cowboys, and he held a firm grasp on that role. He had 18 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns to go with three receptions for 31 yards. There was some mystery about who would be the lead running […]

Jared Goff Has a Quiet Night In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had no problems moving the ball in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, but he was never able to find the end zone. He finished the night 20-for-31 for 275 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. He also added four carries for 15 yards. If Goff had been […]

Saints Defense Puts Up Strong Performance

The New Orleans Saints Defense had a great performance in their Week 1 win over the Buccaneers. They intercepted Tom Brady twice, one of which was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Janoris Jenkins. They sacked Brady three times and they recovered a fumble to round out the strong showing. It was a great start […]

Wil Lutz Perfect On All Six Kicks

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra points in a 34-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. Lutz enjoyed a solid day as New Orleans recorded six trips into the red zone. The veteran kicker should be able to put up many more […]

Jared Cook Paces Team In Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook had a strong game for his team in a 34-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cook was a bright spot in an otherwise sloppy day for the offense, as he caught five of seven targets for a game-high 80 receiving yards, including a big 46-yard reception. The […]

Carlos Martinez Racks Up Eight Strikeouts On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez struck out eight in four innings of work on Sunday. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks, but he showed plenty of swing-and-miss stuff in the meantime. Martinez has had a rough 2020 as shown by his 10.32 ERA, but this start was certainly a […]

Tre'Quan Smith Disappoints In Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith had a very quiet Week 1 game in a 34-23 win over the Buccaneers. Smith caught his lone target for four yards in what was a sloppy offensive game for New Orleans. It seemed to be a series of strange play calls from head coach Sean Payton, who […]

Emmanuel Sanders Saves Face With Touchdown

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders posted just 15 receiving yards on three catches in Week 1. Sanders managed to salvage his day a bit with a late touchdown, though it was not a great performance. All of the Saints pass-catchers not named Alvin Kamara or Jared Cook seemed to struggle in this one, […]

Michael Thomas Puts Up A Dud Against Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught three of five targets for 17 receiving yards in a win over Tampa Bay. It was a strange sight seeing Thomas almost fazed out of the game plan, as he went a couple of series without recording a catch. Head coach Sean Payton took some of the […]

Latavius Murray Plods For 48 Rushing Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had a forgettable game in a Week 1 win over the Buccaneers. Murray carried the ball 15 times but picked up just 48 rushing yards, as Tampa Bay's strong front picked up where they left off last year. Fortunately, the 30-year-old retained his role in the offense from […]

Buccaneers Defense Struggles Against Saints

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense had a tough time containing the Saints offense in Week 1, managing one sack and allowing three total touchdowns. In a game that was expected be high scoring, Tampa did its best to hold Drew Brees and company in check, but ultimately struggled to contain tight end Jared Cook in […]

Alvin Kamara Finds The End Zone Twice In Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored two touchdowns- and nearly had a third- en route to a 34-23 victory over the Buccaneers. His potential third score was overturned. It was a rough day for Kamara on the ground against Tampa Bay's strong front, as he picked up just 16 yards on 12 carries, […]

O.J. Howard Grabs Touchdown In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard had an encouraging Week 1, getting four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown. With the Bucs loaded in regards to their pass-catching corp, it seemed Howard would not have much of a large role heading into the season, but he certainly made a great […]

Drew Brees Tosses Two Touchdowns In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw two touchdown passes in a Week 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though it was by no means a good performance for the 41-year-old. He only threw for 160 yards and averaged a measly 5.3 yards per attempt, as he struggled to get the ball downfield throughout […]

Rob Gronkowski Musters 11 Yards In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had a very modest debut with his new team, only getting two receptions on three targets for 11 yards. This was a bit shocking considering Gronk and Tom Brady have years of chemistry, but it seems Week 1 was more about shaking off the rust and the team […]

Dustin Hopkins Nails Two-Of-Three FG Tries

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made two field goals in three tries in a win over the Eagles Sunday. Hopkins miss came from 48-yards out but made two shorter kicks including a 40-yarder. Hopkins was also 3-for-3 on extra point attempts. Hopkins has been a consistent contributor in fantasy for years and should be […]

Mike Evans Scores Touchdown On Only Catch

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans played in Week 1 despite a bunch of uncertainty regarding his playing status due to a hamstring injury. In the end, he was held in check while not playing at full capacity and he only recorded one catch for two yards which went for a touchdown. Evans' injury […]

Steven Sims Gains 50 Yards

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. caught three passes for 50 yards in a win over the Eagles in Week 1. Sims was the second WR for Washington in most formations, but was targeted just three times as Washington ran the ball most of the second half. Sims has fantasy appeal in 14-plus […]

Scotty Miller Gets 73 Yards In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller recorded five receptions on six targets for 73 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Saints. With Mike Evans dealing with a hamstring injury and not playing at full capacity, the underrated Miller got some more looks and capitalized. Tom Brady often raved about Miller's abilities in […]

Logan Thomas Scores Week 1 Touchdown

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas made four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over Philadelphia. Thomas led Washington with eight targets as the Dwayne Haskins looked to his tight end frequently with few other options to target. Thomas' involvement in Week 1 bodes well for his fantasy […]
