Completed Air Yards Over Expectation - Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers

If you play fantasy football, you know your great deal of statistics and metrics. At the end of the day, we need some way to measure production. While the basic numbers (targets, receptions, yards,...) are often enough to give us a solid idea of what we're dealing with, the truth is that the deeper we […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 3

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Often times, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options.

Panthers Defense Has Solid Outing

The Carolina Panthers Defense capitalized in Week 3 against a team starting a rookie quarterback on the Chargers. Carolina notched two sacks, eight quarterback hits, one pick, and three fumble recoveries. While this was an encouraging performance for a team that gave up over 30 points in the first two games, this type of performance […]

Ian Thomas Only Grabs One Reception

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas got one reception for nine yards on two targets in the Week 3 win over the Chargers. The tight end was supposed to be the TE1 on the team this season, but only has two receptions for 16 yards on two targets total through three games. He's well off […]

Curtis Samuel Has Modest Performance

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel ended Week 3 with four carries for seven yards and four receptions for 45 yards on four targets.

D.J. Moore Paces Team With 65 Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore finished Week 3 with two receptions and 65 yards on four targets. Though his receptions and targets may seem small, Moore still paced the team in yards. With a rich role as the WR1 on this team, his volume should remain stable. Therefore, the receiver remains a weekly starter.

Mike Davis Contributes In Rushing And Passing Game

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis finished the Week 3 win with 13 carries and 46 rushing yards, along with eight receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. Davis proved valuable in both the passing and rushing game and was quite busy in place of the injured Christian McCaffrey. It's worth noting […]

Teddy Bridgewater Gets 235 Yards

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went 22-for-28 for 235 yards and one touchdown in the Week 3 win over the Chargers. Through three games, Bridgewater's only impressive stat has been passing for 367 yards in Week 2. Other than that, he hasn't been explosive in terms of touchdowns. In fact, the QB has two passing […]

Buccaneers Defense Dominant In Win

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense was dominant in the Week 3 win over the Broncos, getting six sacks, 10 quarterback hits, and two picks. The Bucs took advantage of an injured Broncos offense and capitalized with a dominant performance. The schedule looks promising for next week as they will likely face rookie QB Justin Herbert […]

The Dallas Cowboys Defense struggled again in a Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Cowboys defense allowed 36 points, recording four sacks and one fumble recovery.

Greg Zuerlein Makes Two Field Goals And An Extra Point

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein made both of his field goal attempts in Week 3 along with one of his two extra points. Zuerlein's field goals came from 43 and 42 yards out.

Dalton Schultz Makes Four Catches In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz made four catches in Week 3, gaining 48 yards. He was targeted six times and was still pretty well-involved in the passing game. He took a clear step back from being the featured receiver in Week 2, but he maintained enough playing time and passing routes to remain a […]

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught five passes in a Week 3 loss, gaining 65 yards. He was targeted six times in this one, ending up fifth on the team in targets.

Raiders Defense Gives Up 36 Points

The Las Vegas Raiders defense struggled again, giving up 36 points to the Patriots. They managed to grab an interception and sack Cam Newton twice but gave up over 400 yards in total offense.

Michael Gallup Leads The Cowboys In Receiving In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup played very well in a Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Gallup caught six passes on nine targets, gaining 138 yards and scoring a touchdown.

Tony Pollard Gets One Offensive Touch In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard touched the ball only once on offense in Week 3. Pollard did not record a rushing attempt, and he caught his only target, losing five yards on it. Pollard continues to play as a distant backup to three-down back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott saw 12 targets in the passing game […]

Ezekiel Elliott Saves His Day With A Touchdown In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was held in check for once in Week 3. The Seattle Seahawks Defense did a good job keeping Elliott from doing much.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had an average performance against the Patriots, rushing for 71 yards and catching three passes for 12 yards.
