New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 26-for-38 and put up 312 yards, one touchdown, and one pick in the loss to the Raiders on Monday.

Younghoe Koo Hits Four Field Goals In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo went 4-4 in field-goal attempts and 3-3 in extra-point attempts in the Week 2 loss to Dallas.

Hayden Hurst Gets 72 Yards In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst played a huge role in Week 2, getting five receptions for 72 yards and a score on eight targets. This was the type of role that was envisioned for Hurst when he was traded to Atlanta this offseason. The tight end played a large role in Week 2 and […]

Russell Gage Shines In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage shined once again in Week 2, getting six receptions for 46 yards and a score on nine targets. One week after getting his first career 100-yard game, Gage was back at it again, playing a huge role for Matt Ryan and the Atlanta offense. Though he is the WR3 […]

Calvin Ridley Has Second Consecutive Game With 100 Yards

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Tre'Quan Smith A Flex Option For Week 2

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is a good flex piece for Week 2 against the Raiders. With Michael Thomas out for a few weeks, Smith could see more targets headed his way as Drew Brees could distribute the ball more. The receiver grabbed only one reception on one target for 14 yards in Week […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Low-End WR3/Flex For Week 2

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders remains in the WR3/flex conversation for Week 2. It was a rather disappointing New Orleans debut for the veteran, as he only managed three receptions on five targets for 15 yards in Week 1. With Michael Thomas now out for a few weeks, Sanders could see his volume […]

Wil Lutz A Great Starting Option This Week

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a great option to start this week. As a member of a high-powered offense, Lutz's work is always steady, and he connected on both of his field goal attempts last week along with kicking in four extra points. Lutz has been a reliable kicking option the past few […]

Saints Defense A Low-End Option This Week

The New Orleans Saints Defense did a good job in trying to contain Tom Brady and an explosive Buccaneers offense last week while also getting an impressive three sacks, two picks, and one fumble recovery. The task doesn't get any easier this week as they must now deal with the Raiders' Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller, […]

Jared Cook A Solid TE1 This Week

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook remains a valuable TE1 for this week's matchup against the Raiders. Even with Michael Thomas on the field last week, Cook paced the team with five receptions on seven targets for 80 yards. With Thomas now out a few weeks, the veteran Cook could see an even bigger […]

Latavius Murray A Flex Piece For Week 2

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is worth flex consideration this week against the Raiders. The back is coming off a solid Week 1 where he paced the team with 15 carries and got 48 yards as a result. Alvin Kamara is the top running back option on this team, but it was encouraging […]

Alvin Kamara Is An RB1 In Week 2

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 for the Week 2 contest against the Raiders. Despite getting less carries than Latavius Murray in Week 1, Kamara proved valuable in the passing game where he got five receptions on eight targets for 51 yards, and a touchdown. Kamara's huge role on this offense […]

Drew Brees A Low-End QB1 For Week 2

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a low-end QB1 option for the Week 2 matchup against the Raiders. Brees had a modest showing against the Bucs in Week 1, but he should remain in the QB1 tier considering the weapons he has, even with Michael Thomas out for a few weeks. As the leader of […]

Younghoe Koo A Solid Starting Option In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option for Week 2. Koo connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Week 1, and both were notably from beyond 40 yards. Though he did miss an extra point, Koo should see quite a few kicking opportunities because the Falcons' offense is high-powered. This week's […]

Falcons Defense Should Remain On The Bench This Week

The Atlanta Falcons Defense is simply not a viable streaming option for Week 2. After allowing 38 points and letting Russell Wilson "cook" in Week 1, the Falcons are in no position to be a trustworthy defense in Week 2. This is especially considering they face a loaded Dallas Cowboys offense that features talent all […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 For Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst should be considered a low-end TE1 for this week's matchup against the Cowboys. The new Falcon recorded three receptions and 38 yards on five targets in Week 1 against the Seahawks. With the Falcons boasting a pass-happy offense, it was unfortunate that Hurst couldn't get more in on the […]

Russell Gage A Flex Play In Deep Leagues This Week

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is coming off his best showing in the NFL coming into Week 2. The 2018 pick recorded nine receptions for 114 yards on 12 targets in Week 1, something not many managers could have seen coming. It's worth noting that Gage is the WR3 on this team, so he […]

Calvin Ridley A High-End WR2 In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a fine play in Week 2's matchup against the Cowboys. Being the WR2 on the team and commanding a decent target share, the 25-year-old recorded nine receptions for 130 yards and two scores on 12 targets in a terrific Week 1 showing. The youngster has developed quite a […]

Julio Jones A WR1 For This Week

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is a WR1 for the Week 2 clash against the Cowboys. Last week, the talented wideout racked up nine receptions and 157 yards on 12 targets. With the robust chemistry the receiver has with Matt Ryan, along with his large target share in this offense, Jones should be started […]

Todd Gurley II An RB2 For Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a solid RB2 for the Week 2 matchup against the Cowboys. The 26-year-old took on the workhorse role for the team in Week 1, as expected, and got 56 rushing yards and a score on 14 carries. The second-most carries belonged to Brian Hill, but that was […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should be considered a low-end QB1 in Week 2's bout against the Dallas Cowboys. With the defense reeling in Week 1, Ryan was forced to carry the team and try to keep up, getting 450 pass yards total. With Dallas boasting a high-octane offense, the Falcons may have to put […]

Deeper League Pickups for Week 2

Week 1 of the NFL did not disappoint. There were players shining with new teams, close matchups, lots of scoring, and the Browns being the Browns. As we continue with this series, I will continue to pick out a handful of deep sleepers who could provide some value for your fantasy team. Week 1 of […]

Buccaneers Defense Struggles Against Saints

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense had a tough time containing the Saints offense in Week 1, managing one sack and allowing three total touchdowns.

O.J. Howard Grabs Touchdown In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard had an encouraging Week 1, getting four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown. With the Bucs loaded in regards to their pass-catching corp, it seemed Howard would not have much of a large role heading into the season, but he certainly made a great […]

Rob Gronkowski Musters 11 Yards In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had a very modest debut with his new team, only getting two receptions on three targets for 11 yards. This was a bit shocking considering Gronk and Tom Brady have years of chemistry, but it seems Week 1 was more about shaking off the rust and the team […]

Mike Evans Scores Touchdown On Only Catch

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans played in Week 1 despite a bunch of uncertainty regarding his playing status due to a hamstring injury. In the end, he was held in check while not playing at full capacity and he only recorded one catch for two yards which went for a touchdown. Evans' injury […]
