Michael Thomas Injures Ankle In Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was observed limping off the field at the two-minute warning during the win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught just two passes for 21 yards in the season opener win against the Carolina Panthers.

Tyrod Taylor Has Uneventful Day Against Cincy

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw for 208 yards during the narrow win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also added six carries for seven yards.

Derek Carr Efficient In Win

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had an efficient game against the Carolina Panthers. Carr threw for 239 yards and one touchdown, completing 73 percent of his throws. Efficiency will help the team win but does not add a lot of value to a fantasy lineup. Carr has never been known as a guy that […]

Josh Jacobs Scores Three Times In Win

Hayden Hurst Underwhelms In Falcons Debut

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst had an underwhelming debut in Week 1 against the Seahawks. Hurst saw five targets and caught three of them, but only managed 38 receiving yards.

Braxton Garrett Shines In His Debut

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Braxton Garrett made his major league debut in Game 2 of Sunday's double header against the Phillies.

Russell Gage Records Career-High 114 Receiving Yards

Adam Thielen Shines In Week 1 Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught six passes for a team-high 110 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings 43-34 loss to the Packers. Thielen saw eight targets in the game, most importantly a 19-yard and 37-yard receptions for touchdowns. After an injury-plagued season in 2019, Thielen is off to an elite start. The […]

Kirk Cousins Passes For 259 Yards In Defeat
