Hayden Hurst Gets Favorable Matchup

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst gets a favorable matchup in Week 3 against the Bears. Though the defense has been good against the pass overall, they have struggled against tight ends so far, ranking 21st in the league in fantasy points allowed to the position. Hurst is coming off his best effort so far, […]

Russell Gage A Low-End Flex Against Chicago

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has been a pleasant surprise through two weeks of the 2020 season. Gage has taken the Mohamed Sanu role to new heights, as he ranks in the top-10 so far in targets and receptions. However, Week 3 brings a tougher matchup against the Bears, who have yet to allow […]

Calvin Ridley Should Be Started With Confidence

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been the No. 1 wideout in fantasy football through two weeks. Ridley is tied for the league lead in receiving yards with 239, ranks sixth with 23 targets and has scored two touchdowns in consecutive games. Week 3 brings a matchup against the Bears, who have yet to […]

Julio Jones Comes With Risk If He Suits Up

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) faces a Bears Defense that has surrendered the seventh-fewest fantasy points to enemy wideouts so far in 2020. After reportedly making his injury worse in Week 2, Jones missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday- needless to say, his Week 3 status is in jeopardy right […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB2 In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II gets a seemingly tough matchup against the Bears. Chicago has allowed the 11th-fewest rushing yards to opposing backs, though they did it against an uninspiring Lions backfield and a Giants offense that lost running back Saquon Barkley (knee) early in the game. Gurley quietly ranks eighth in rushing attempts […]

Matt Ryan A Solid QB1 Against Bears

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will face off with the Chicago Bears in Week 3. Chicago presents a tough matchup, as they've allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks through two weeks and have surrendered the league's lowest passer rating against. However, they've faced Matthew Stafford and Daniel Jones, neither of whom are playing at […]

Broncos Sign Blake Bortles To One-Year Deal

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent quarterback Blake Bortles to a one-year deal on Tuesday morning. The former Jaguars signal-caller will officially sign once he passes his COVID-19 protocols and will serve as some much-needed depth in the absence of Drew Lock (shoulder). Bortles owns an 80.6 career passer rating in 73 starts along with 103 […]

Allen Lazard Sees Five Targets In Week 2

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard had a quiet day in Week 2 against the Lions, though he was still sneakily involved in the offense. Lazard saw five targets, which was an improvement on the four looks he saw in Week 1. He hasn't put up amazing numbers yet, though he has been on […]

Kerryon Johnson Finds The End Zone In Week 2

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson led the Detroit backfield in carries and scored a rushing touchdown in a 42-21 loss to the Packers in Week 2. It should be noted that Detroit had to abandon the run earlier than they would have liked in this one, considering how quickly Green Bay jumped out to […]

Nick Bosa Out For Season With Torn ACL

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) has suffered a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the season. The team was fearful that he would miss significant time and the MRI confirmed those fears. The 22-year-old was a big reason why the 49ers fielded arguably the league's best defense last season, […]

Henry Ruggs III Active Against Saints

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (knee) is active and will take the field against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Ruggs III was expected to play after upgrading to a limited session on Friday and taking the practice field again on Saturday, though it is always nice to get the official […]

Panthers Defense Has Forgettable Day

The Carolina Panthers Defense allowed 31 points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 2 loss. To make matters worse, Carolina didn't record a sack, but they did manage to pick up a fumble recovery and an interception. There may not be many promising days with this unit this year in fantasy, though there […]

Joey Slye Has Decent Day In Week 2

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye made his lone field-goal attempt and both his extra-points in a Week 2 loss. Slye made the most of his opportunities, considering the limited amount of chances in the red zone. The 24-year-old has been efficient so far, making all four field-goals and missing just one extra-point. Slye should continue […]

Ian Thomas Not Targeted Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas wasn't targeted in a Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thomas has sleeper potential but completely disappeared in the gameplan, as he inexplicably didn't see a pass thrown his way. This comes a week after he saw two targets in the first game of the season. He […]

Curtis Samuel Targeted Twice Against Tampa Bay

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel was targeted just twice against the Buccaneers, though he also had four carries for 26 rushing yards. Samuel did see eight targets in Week 1, but other than that, he has been disappointing so far. One positive to take from this game is that the Panthers utilized him more […]

Robby Anderson Exceeds 100 Receiving Yards Again

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson looked great for the second consecutive game. Anderson caught nine of 10 targets for 109 receiving yards in a loss to Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old has been targeted an impressive 18 times in two games and has been very efficient with his looks. Anderson comes with some weekly risk […]

Mike Davis Posts 74 Receiving Yards In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis caught all eight of his targets for 74 receiving yards against Tampa Bay in Week 2. Davis did his best Christian McCaffrey (ankle) impression after the star back left with an ankle injury and was pretty convincing as a receiver out of the backfield. Eight targets is nothing to […]

D.J. Moore Bounces Back Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore enjoyed a nice bounce-back game in Week 2. Moore was targeted a game-high 13 times and hauled in eight of them for 20 receiving yards in the loss to Tampa Bay. While he has yet to find the end zone in 2020, he has seen elite-level volume in both […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores Twice, Injures Ankle

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey carried the ball 18 times for 59 yards with two touchdowns and caught four of five targets for 29 receiving yards in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. McCaffrey left the game with an ankle injury and will have an MRI on Monday, though the team is optimistic […]

Teddy Bridgewater Struggles Against Tampa Bay

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed 33 of 42 passes for 367 yards and two interceptions in a 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers. The two interceptions were ugly and he also fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Tampa Bay. Through two games, the 27-year-old has 76 passing attempts, which could be considered excellent volume […]

Buccaneers Defense Dominant Against Panthers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense looked very convincing in a Week 2 win over Carolina. The unit recorded five sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries en route to a 31-17 victory. Rising star Devin White led the team in tackles with 15 while Ndamukong Suh recorded two sacks. With a Week 3 date set […]

Ryan Succop Has Decent Day In Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made one field-goal and four extra-points in a 31-17 win over the Panthers. Succop had a solid role in Week 2, as the Buccaneers offense made several trips to the red zone. That could be a common occurrence with the number of weapons they possess on offense. After two […]

O.J. Howard Musters One Catch In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard saw three targets and caught one of them for 11 receiving yards in Week 2. There aren't too many positives to take from this performance for Howard, though one is that he looked better than Rob Gronkowski, who failed to record a catch. This tight end room hasn't […]

Rob Gronkowski Held Without A Catch

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski was targeted once but didn't record a catch in a 31-17 win over Carolina. It was incredibly disappointing for fantasy managers to see, especially considering there were vacated targets with Chris Godwin (head) sitting out. Gronkowski has looked like someone who's been away from football after two games, […]

LeSean McCoy Catches Five Passes

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy hauled in five of seven targets for 26 receiving yards in Week 2. McCoy also handled one carry, though he went backwards on it. The veteran back was expected to occupy some sort of pass-catching role for Tampa Bay and he was able to do that well, helping […]

Scotty Miller Held In Check By Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller had a quiet day in a Week 2 win over the Panthers. Miller was targeted three times and caught two of them for 11 receiving yards. The 23-year-old looked like a great sleeper pick with Chris Godwin (head) sidelined, but all of the glory ended up going to […]

Sammy Watkins Leaves Game After Hit To Head

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (head) left Sunday's game against the Chargers after a huge hit to the head. Watkins was attempting to make defenders miss after the catch when he took the hit and had to be helped off the field. It's unlikely that he returns to this game, as he's probably […]

Mike Evans Erupts For 104 Yards And A Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hauled in seven of a team-high 10 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown. With teammate Chris Godwin (head) out and head coach Bruce Arians basically guaranteeing his other star wideout would get the ball- Evans was in a smash spot and he delivered. He connected with Tom […]

Christian McCaffrey To Have MRI Monday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) will have an MRI to discover the severity of the ankle injury he sustained in his team's loss to the Buccaneers. McCaffrey was on the sideline and wasn't ruled out, though he never returned to the game. The team is optimistic that it's not too serious, though the […]

Parris Campbell Avoids Torn ACL, To Have MRI Tomorrow

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (knee) did not tear his ACL in his team's Week 2 win over the Vikings. Campbell suffered a knee injury on a carry in the first quarter and was carted off the field. The team believes it's not a torn ACL, but Campbell will have an MRI on Monday […]
