Giovani Bernard Gains Just 13 Yards Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was active and started on Sunday, leaving Giovani Bernard to backup duties. Bernard played just 40% of the snaps on Sunday as Mixon played through his ankle injury without any setbacks. Bernard carried the ball six times for six yards and hauled in just one of his three targets […]

Marquise Brown Leads The Ravens In Targets

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown led the team in passing targets in Week 2 with 13. Brown started the game and he may be emerging as the Ravens No. 1 receiving option. Unlike Week 1 where Brown played a mere 18% of the Ravens offensive snaps, he played on 65% this week. The rookie […]

Tyler Eifert Scores Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was targeted five times on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, hauling in three of them for just nine yards and one touchdown. At this point in his career, Eifert looks like he has lost some explosiveness, but quarterback Andy Dalton definitely looks his way when the Bengals are […]

Tyler Boyd Has A Big Day In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd led all Bengals receivers in Week 2 with 10 targets. Boyd turned those 10 targets into 10 catches and 122 scoreless yards. Boyd ran tremendous routes throughout the game and looked explosive, serving as Dalton's favorite passing option in A.J. Green's absence. The Bengals will face off against the […]

Joe Mixon Can't Get Going Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) started in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers and simply couldn't get anything going on the ground or in the passing game. Mixon carried the ball 11 times for just 17 yards and added three catches for a mere 10 yards. In fairness to Mixon, he really […]

John Ross Scores In Garbage Time

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross saw less targets (eight) than Tyler Boyd (10) in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he still came through for fantasy purposes. Ross caught four of his eight targets for 112 yards and one touchdown. Ross' 66-yard touchdown came in garbage time as the No. 2 option […]

Andy Dalton Under Pressure All Day

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton really missed his starting left tackle Cordy Glenn in Week 2 against the 49ers. Dalton was sacked four times and took several more hits after he got rid of the ball in the Bengals 41-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Bengals won't get any relief in the near […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 2

In Week 1 we nailed some of the wide receiver matchups to target, but we got some wrong too. Heading into Week 2, it's always a good idea to go back through the decision making process you used the week prior to see where you went wrong. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis came […]

Marquise Brown May Be The New D-Jax

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown is still experiencing some discomfort in his injured foot and only played on 14 snaps in Week 1. Out of those 14 snaps, Brown was targeted five times, catching four balls for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Although the speedster out of Oklahoma only played on 14.82% of the […]

Mark Ingram Owners Need To Have Gus Edwards

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards played more snaps (38.16%) than starter Mark Ingram (32.89%) in Week 1, but Ingram is the clear starter in the Ravens backfield. Last week, Edwards saw an increase in playing time because Ingram's shoulder was banged up and the Ravens had a large lead over the Miami Dolphins. Edwards […]

Miles Boykin Should Remain On Waivers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Miles Boykin played only 23.68% of the offensive snaps in Week 1. Boykin would have come up extremely small for fantasy purposes if he didn't score a touchdown on his only target of the game. That being said, the Notre Dame product may be the best red-zone threat the Ravens have […]

Tyler Eifert Looks To Build On Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was able to make it through Week 1 without injury while registering a modest five-catch, 27-yard performance. Although fellow tight end CJ Uzomah played more snaps (70.67%) than Eifert (49.33%) in Week 1, Eifert participated in a greater percentage of the Bengals passing routes, meaning Uzomah is being asked […]

John Ross Has A Tough Week 2 Matchup

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross had a huge Week 1 performance against the Seattle Seahawks, catching seven passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Expectations for Ross have increased, but he has a much tougher matchup in Week 2 against San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman. Although Sherman is getting older (31), he's still […]

Tyler Boyd Will Be The Man In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd had the second-most targets (11) for the Bengals in Week 1, but he should lead the Bengals in that department this week. In Week 2, wide receiver John Ross should line up against San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman for roughly 50 percent of his routes. If quarterback Andy […]

Giovani Bernard Could Shine In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard will have a big Week 2 if Joe Mixon misses the game because of his ankle injury. Mixon's status will need to be monitored throughout Sunday morning, but if he misses the game, Bernard will be a must-start fantasy running back in leagues of all sizes. Bernard made two […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 1 Outliers

Every week of the NFL season players break out with huge statistical performances. Some of these performances come from certified studs that have done it before, some come from players that may be on the verge of breaking out, and some performances are merely flashes in the pan. It’s important to identify things such as […]

Giovani Bernard Steps In For Joe Mixon

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard assumed full-time running back duties after Joe Mixon suffered an ankle injury in the Bengals Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. In Mixon's absence, Bernard carried the football seven times for just 21 yards as the eight-year veteran struggled to find running lanes against a Seattle defensive front […]

Tyler Eifert Catches Five Passes

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert made it through Week 1 without injury. Eifert was minimally involved in the Bengals passing game against the Seattle Seahawks, but he was able to make several contested catches, logging five grabs for 27 yards. The former first-round pick out of Notre Dame looks like he can still be […]

Tyler Boyd Targeted 11 Times In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd picked up where he left off in 2018 with a strong start to his 2019 campaign. In a game against Seattle that featured 51 pass attempts by quarterback Andy Dalton, Boyd had 11 targets, hauling in eight of them for 60 yards. Boyd was involved in the Bengals passing […]

Damion Willis Has A Minimal Week 1 Role

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Damion Willis played in his first NFL contest on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, but he was clearly the third or fourth receiving option for the team. Tyler Boyd and John Ross were the Bengals primary pass catchers with AJ Green (ankle) out of the lineup, seeing a combined 23 targets. […]

John Ross Breaks Out In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross busted out in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. With wide receiver AJ Green(ankle) out of the lineup, Ross led the Bengals with 12 targets, hauling in seven of them for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The team’s running game didn't have any success as running back Joe Mixon […]

Jarvis Landry Has A Slow Week 1

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry was No. 2 in the pecking order on Sunday with seven targets. Landry finished Week 1 with a four-catch, 64-yard performance. The LSU product should bounce back in Week 2 against NY Jets slot cornerback Brian Poole, but his ceiling will be lower this year with Odell Beckham Jr. […]

David Njoku Scores For The Browns In Week 1

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku opened 2019 with four catches, 37 yards and one touchdown. The Miami product was targeted six times in the Browns loss while facing tough matchups all day against Titans safeties Kenny Vaccaro and Kevin Byard. Things won't get any easier for Njoku next week, as he's likely to see […]

Nick Chubb Gets Vultured On A Touchdown

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 16 times for 74 yards and added three catches off four targets for 10 yards receiving in Week 1. The Tennessee Titans Defense disrupted the Browns offense throughout the day. The Browns lost several offensive linemen throughout the game, including the early ejection of left tackle […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Underwhelms In Browns Debut

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had a modest seven-catch, 71-yard performance in his debut for the Browns. Although Beckham didn't bust out of the gate with a big performance in Week 1, it was encouraging to see him make it through the game and lead the team in targets (11) while dealing with […]

Baker Mayfield Struggles In Browns Opener

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield put the ball in the air 38 times on Sunday and managed 285 yards and just one touchdown. The second-year quarterback threw three interceptions on the day, one of which was on a tipped ball, and took five sacks in the game. One of Mayfield's sacks went for a safety […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 1

Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us and considering how little offensive and defensive starters played this preseason, we don't have much to go off of to project how new players and coaches will impact teams on both sides of the ball.  Early on in the season, we will need to use 2018 […]

Robert Woods Ready To Go Against Carolina

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods appears to have the toughest matchup out of all the Rams receivers on Sunday, as he figures to see a lot of Panthers cornerback James Bradberry. Although Woods is sure to see a lot of Bradberry, the Rams will move the 27-year-old receiver around the formation to get […]

Greg Zuerlein Is Back To Legatron Status

Although Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein dealt with injuries late in 2018, he is back and full go heading into the 2019 season. The Rams-Panthers game this Sunday is one of four games featuring an over/under of 50 or more points, making Zuerlein a good bet to get some field-goal opportunities this week. Zuerlein […]

Brandin Cooks Set For A Big Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks is entering his second year with the team and should make a big impact early. The sixth-year receiver out of Oregon State is in his second year playing with quarterback Jared Goff and he has a winnable matchup on Sunday against Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson. Jackson has […]
