Chris Carson Facing Stout Defense

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson will be facing the best run defense he's seen this year when he welcomes the Saints to Seattle on Sunday. That said, the biggest thing that may help pad Carson's stats is the lack of Drew Brees in the New Orleans huddle. Without Brees, the Saints enter the game […]

Russell Wilson Sad He Won't Face Brees

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson told the media on Wednesday that he's sad that Drew Brees won't be out there on the field on Sunday. Wilson mentioned that he's close friends with Brees, who he also said is one of his favorite players of all time. Wilson will instead be facing off against Teddy Bridgewater […]

Thomas Davis Tied For NFL Lead In Tackles

When the Los Angeles Chargers signed 36-year-old linebacker Thomas Davis over the offseason, the question was whether he would still have it. That seems to be clear now. After two weeks, Davis is tied with former Defensive Player of the Year and former teammate Luke Kuechly for the league lead in tackles. It's been a […]

Mike Williams Faces College Teammate In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will be facing off against his college teammate Deshaun Watson for the first time as a pro on Sunday. Obviously, the two won't be going head-to-head on any given snap, but it will be the first time they've been on opposite sidelines on the field. Williams and Watson […]

Justin Jackson Leads The League In Yards Per Carry

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson has become the new Austin Ekeler. Not the 2019 version of Ekeler that is blowing up and costing Melvin Gordon millions of dollars. The 2017 and 2018 version of Ekeler that worked as the change-of-pace back and put up gaudy YPC numbers while Gordon did the dirty work. […]

Austin Ekeler Facing Best Defense Yet

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is in for another challenge on Sunday as he faces a Texans Defense that has been better than either of the teams he's faced so far this season. That said, Ekeler has been electric this year, and he is still a sure start in every league. Ekeler has […]

Philip Rivers Moving To Second In Consecutive Starts

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is set to start his 211th consecutive game on Sunday when the team faces the Texans. That start will pass Eli Manning and give Rivers sole possession of second place on the all-time Iron Man list behind Brett Favre. While the accomplishment was always going to be noteworthy, it […]

Ryan McBroom Is On A Little Streak

Kansas City Royals outfielder/first baseman Ryan McBroom smacked a single and scored the team's only run in their loss to the A's on Tuesday, but more importantly, he got a hit for the fifth straight game in which he's started. McBroom is the product of a late-season trade made with the Yankees, and there's some […]

Hunter Dozier Doubles In Loss

Kansas City Royals corner infielder Hunter Dozier continued his impressive breakout on Tuesday when he knocked his 28th double of the season. The 28-year-old has finally come into his own this year, hitting 26 home runs, 28 doubles, and driving in 82 runs while posting a .286 average. It's been exactly what Kansas City was […]

Jorge Lopez Takes Hard-Luck Loss

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jorge Lopez put together one of his best starts of the season on Tuesday against the Athletics, but some slip-ups in the seventh inning cost him the victory. After six innings, Lopez had a 1-0 lead and had allowed just two hits. Unfortunately, he went back out for the seventh inning, […]

Jakob Junis To Be Shut Down

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis looks to be done for 2019. Manager Ned Yost told reporters on Monday that the 27-year-old pitcher is starting to fatigue, so he's making a lot of mistakes. Junis is tied for the American League lead in starts made this season at 31. It's been a long season […]

Ian Kennedy Records 30th Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy did it. He reached the 30-save plateau in his first season as the team's closer, and he once again reminded all fantasy owners to never pay for saves and don't ignore closers on bad teams. Kennedy has now recorded saves in five straight appearances while allowing a total […]

Alex Gordon Knocks In Two In Win

Kansas City Royals veteran outfielder Alex Gordon smacked a two-run single in the top of the fifth inning on Monday to tie the game and help the team eventually take the win. It was a nice change of pace for the longtime Royal, as he's finishing out another mediocre (at best) season with the team. […]

Adalberto Mondesi Hits 10th Triple

Kansas City Royals speedster Adalberto Mondesi may have missed a month of the season with a separated shoulder, but that hasn't stopped him from achieving one speed-based milestone for the organization. Mondesi smacked his 10th triple of the season on Monday night, becoming the first Royals player with double-digit triples in 16 years. The feat […]

Jorge Soler Drills 45th Homer, Ties AL Lead

Kansas City Royals slugger Jorge Soler hit a bomb way over the center field wall in the top of the fourth inning in Oakland on Monday night to catch Mike Trout in the American League home run race. With Trout out for the season, Soler's mammoth blast may help him write another piece of Royals […]

Jason Myers Misses 58-Yarder

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers officially missed his first field goal attempt of the season on Sunday, but it was a 58-yarder, so no one's too upset. Myers did knock down a 46-yard kick in the second quarter, but it was negated by a penalty on Pittsburgh and later turned into a touchdown a couple […]

Will Dissly Hauls In Two Touchdowns

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had a big day on Sunday as he brought down a pair of touchdowns against the Steelers. The second-year player generated some excitement last season before he went down with an injury, and he's already been on a couple injury reports this year but this is his potential. Dissly's […]

D.K. Metcalf Catches First NFL Touchdown

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf kept the good times rolling in Week 2 as he juggled and grasped his first NFL touchdown. With a beautiful pass dropped right in on his hands as he faded towards the back corner of the end zone, Metcalf made it exciting by bobbling the ball twice before securing […]

Tyler Lockett Catches 10 Passes In Win

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett got a bit of attention last week after he was only targeted twice in the squeaked out win against the Bengals, but this should clear up that concern. Unfortunately, Lockett wasn't able to reach the end zone on any of the catches, but 10 catches on 12 targets should […]

Chris Carson Nearly Blows Week 2 Win

The Seattle Seahawks were sitting pretty with a nine-point lead and less than six minutes left in the game when running back Chris Carson dropped the ball. Literally. With everyone in the stadium knowing that Seattle was just going to run out the clock, Carson simply missed grabbing the ball on a straight handoff when […]

Rashaad Penny Busts Huge TD Run

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny may not get a ton of playing time, but he's certainly got his teammates on his side. Penny changed direction on a run and bounced it all the way to the other side of the line halfway through the third quarter. None other than Russell Wilson himself happened to […]

Russell Wilson Throws For 300 Yards, Three TDs

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 300 yards on Sunday, hitting the number for just the second time in the last two years. Wilson completed a whopping 82% of his passes, spread the ball around to eight different receivers, tacked on 22 yards rushing including a couple critical runs in the fourth quarter, and […]

Casey Hayward Snags First Interception Of 2019

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward was able to land his first interception of the season on Sunday as he snatched a deep pass to end Detroit's first offensive possession of the second half. The good news was that the defense held the Lions to just 13 points, but there were some serious struggles. Detroit […]

Philip Rivers Struggles In Week 2 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers still threw for nearly 300 yards, but it was far from a strong performance. Rivers didn't throw for any touchdowns, and he got picked off on the team's final offensive play of the game, when he tried to force a pass into double coverage from 28 yards out. Rivers […]

Mike Williams Notches 83 Yards In Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was a last-minute start due to a knee issue, but he played like it was no big deal. Williams hauled in three passes for 83 yards, and he told reporters after the game that he felt the injury was minor, would improve throughout the season, and wouldn't have […]

Keenan Allen Held Scoreless Against Detroit

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was a living embodiment of the team's close loss to the Lions on Sunday as he came oh-so-close to putting up big numbers for fantasy owners but fell just short. Allen finished the day with eight catches for 98 yards, including a grab on the team's first drive […]

Justin Jackson Copies Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson liked his performance so much in Week 1 that he decided to make a carbon copy of it in Week 2. Jackson rushed for 57 yards on six carries last week, and against the Lions on Sunday, he ran for 59 yards on seven carries. He also caught […]

Austin Ekeler Shows Out Again

The Los Angeles Chargers may have dropped their road opener, but running back Austin Ekeler tried his best to carry them to the promised land. Ekeler led the team in carries and finished second on the team in receptions as he touched the ball 23 times in the game. He did have a costly fumble […]

Travis Benjamin May See Bump In Targets

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin may be the lucky recipient of some more chances on the field after the team lost tight end Hunter Henry and possibly wide receiver Mike Williams to knee injuries. Though Benjamin is officially the team's No. 3 wide receiver, he's pretty far down the option list on most […]

Keenan Allen Should See A Big Week

Los Angeles Chargers star wide receiver Keenan Allen is already the team's No. 1 target on the outside, but he should see even more opportunities now that injuries are attacking the team's receiving corps. Tight end Hunter Henry is out for at least a month due to a fractured kneecap, and Mike Williams is considered […]
