Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II carried the ball 14 times for 56 rushing yards with a touchdown in a 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

Eagles Defense Not Great In Week 1 Loss

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense did not look great in a Week 1 loss to the Washington Football Team.

There wasn't much to be excited about with this defense, and they'll likely […]

Jake Elliott Makes A Field Goal And Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made a 38-yard field goal and two extra points in a Week 1 loss to the Washington Football Team.

Alec Mills Throws No-Hitter

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills threw a no-hitter on Sunday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Mills did allow three walks, but also struck out five.

T.J. Hockenson Brings In Week 1 Touchdown

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught five passes for 56 yards and one touchdown in the Lions disappointing 27-23 loss to the Bears in Week 1.

D'Andre Swift Drops Game-Winning Touchdown

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift tallied only eight rushing yards, 15 receiving yards but had one touchdown in his NFL debut against the Bears in Week 1.

Adrian Peterson Shines In Lions Debut

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
