Tyler Higbee Explodes In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had a monster performance in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught all five of his targets for 54 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 37-19 victory. This was the Higbee you were hoping for when you invested a pick to make him a top-10 […]

Justin Jefferson Leads Vikings With 44 Receiving Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught three passes for 44 yards in the Vikings Week 2 loss to the Colts 28-11.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley put up another 100-yard performance in the Week 2 loss to Dallas, pacing the team with seven receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 25 passes on 40 attempts for 241 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in a Week 2 loss to the Bears. Jones added 21 rushing yards in a brutal game for the New York offense. Jones struggled with turnovers as a rookie when he led the NFL […]

Randa Markos Has Rough Night With Jiu-Jitsu Ace

Randa Markos (10-9-1) fell into the grasp of Mackenzie Dern early in the first round on Saturday, and that would be all she wrote. After a kick was missed causing Dern to slip, Markos jumped into her guard. Three minutes and forty-four seconds into the bout, Markos was forced to tap to an armbar. Quiet […]

Adam Thielen Held To 31 Yards In Brutal Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught three passes for 31 yards in the Vikings 28-11 loss to the Colts. Thielen led the team with eight targets on a day when quarterback Kirk Cousins played extremely poorly. Thielen is an unquestioned WR1 in fantasy but the Vikings offense has plenty of work to do. The […]

Raheem Mostert May Have MCL Sprain

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) may have suffered an MCL sprain in the team's Week 2 win over the Jets. The team is not certain until further tests are conducted, but at any rate, they'll be without their best back for at least the near future. It's a shame because Mostert had […]

Julio Jones Quiet In Week 2 Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones didn't see much come his way in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. The talented wideout only saw four targets and finished with two targets for 24 yards. After recording over 150 yards last week, Jones fell flat in Week 2 and was quite disappointing. Nevertheless, he is […]

Dalvin Cook Salvages Week 2 With Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 14 times for 63 yards and one touchdown in the Vikings 28-11 loss to the Colts.

Kirk Cousins Drops A Dud Against Colts

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 11-of-26 passes for only 113 yards and three interceptions in the Vikings 28-11 loss to the Colts in Week 2.

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.

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 […]

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.

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

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.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was targeted twice in the Eagles Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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 […]
