New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills failed to haul in a pass in Sunday's overtime loss to the Giants. It was a step back for Stills after he saw three targets a week ago.

Tim Capurso 3 years agoPharaoh Brown Sees Two Targets
Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley failed to record a reception in Sunday's 40-0 loss to the Bills. Conley has now gone two straight weeks without recording a reception, a disappointing effort given the opportunity in front of him.

Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller caught just one of five targets for three yards in Sunday's 40-0 loss to the Bills. Miller saw the second-most targets on the team, but they didn't amount to much fantasy production, given Davis Mills' poor play. The former Bear has tallied five receptions on 11 targets for 23 […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught five of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills.

Tim Capurso 3 years agoMark Ingram II Posts Just 24 Rushing Yards
Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II carried the ball six times for 24 rushing yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills. Ingram recorded the longest run of the day for any Texan, a 12-yarder, but was otherwise held in check, though the negative game script certainly played a role in his lack of […]

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 87 yards and four interceptions in Sunday's 40-0 blowout loss to the Bills.

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) won't suit up against the Seahawks in Week 4.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

The second-year pro will […]
