Marquez Valdes-Scantling Held Without A Catch
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a quiet day against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams was targeted 11 times in his Week 9 return to the field. He was able to catch seven of them, but only recorded 41 yards.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoJamaal Williams Catches All Six Targets
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams enjoyed a solid day in an otherwise poor showing by his team's offense. Williams had just two carries for 10 yards but caught all six of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. That makes four straight games with a touchdown catch for the 24-year-old. He was […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Jones Stifled In Week 9 Loss
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones was quiet in his team's 26-11 Week 9 loss. Coming off one of his better games of the year, the 24-year-old tallied only eight carries for 30 yards and caught just one of four targets for a loss of a yard. Jones likely would have been more involved […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Rodgers Bamboozled By Chargers
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was shut down by the Los Angeles Chargers Defense in a 26-11 Week 9 loss. Rodgers completed just 23 of 35 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. The Packers offensive line didn't give the veteran QB much time to look downfield, as evidenced by his 4.6 yards per […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoPackers Defense A Decent Option For Week 9
The Green Bay Packers Defense will face off against Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Rivers has only been sacked 14 times in eight games but has thrown seven interceptions this year, tied for 20th in the NFL. The Packer come into Week 9 with 20 sacks, 15th in the NFL, […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoMason Crosby A Solid Start In Week 9
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a strong first half of the year. The 35-year-old made at least two field goals or two extra-points in seven of eight games. He's 11 of 12 on field goals and has made all 26 extra-points this year. Playing on a Packers team that scores 26.9 points per […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoJimmy Graham A Risky Play In Week 9
Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham gets a tough matchup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 32-year-old has 21 catches for 234 yards and three touchdowns on the season and has been a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option so far. Expect that trend to continue against the Chargers, who rank 11th in the NFL […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoGeronimo Allison Can't Be Trusted Against Chargers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. There should be opportunities for the 25-year-old, especially if fellow receiver Davante Adams (toe), is healthy and shadowed by elite Chargers' corner Casey Hayward. Much like Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Allison is dependent on a touchdown to return fantasy […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoMarquez Valdes-Scantling A Low-End Flex In Week 9
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) practiced fully on Friday and is good to go for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. It's been an up-and-down year for the 25-year-old, who has posted as many as six catches in Week 3 and as few as one in Week 8. Still, of […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones Removed From Final Injury Report
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) were both full participants in Friday's practice. Neither of their injuries appeared to be serious-though it's nice to see both players removed from the final injury report. Rodgers is a QB1 but could have added upside if wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoJamaal Williams A Good Option In Week 9
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has a great matchup ahead of him in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since Week 6, Williams' rushing attempts have been a bit volatile, tallying a season-high 14 against the Lions but a season-low three against Oakland the following week. Fortunately for Williams, he's seen at […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Jones Is A Must-Start Against Chargers
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and reportedly was seen on the practice field on Thursday. Jones injured the shoulder during the game against Kansas City but was able to return, which bodes well for his Week 9 status. The 24-year-old Jones is coming off one of […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Rodgers Limited On Wednesday
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, though it doesn't sound like anything too serious. Expect the 35-year-old to play in Week 9. Rodgers has thrown for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games, as he's seemingly found his stride. He'll face the Los Angeles […]

The Seattle Seahawks Defense tallied two sacks, two recovered fumbles, and an interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson caught just one pass for seven yards in Week 8. Willson was out-targeted two to one by fellow tight end Jacob Hollister, who caught both of his targets for 18 yards.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoDavid Moore Quiet In Week 8 Win
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore was targeted four times but only hauled in one pass for 23 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. Four targets ties a season-high for the 24-year-old-and he's only produced one touchdown so far. On a run-heavy team with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf ahead of him in […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoD.K. Metcalf Catches Two Touchdowns Against Falcons
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf caught three of five targets for 13 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie receiver was a real touchdown magnet, as quarterback Russell Wilson looked his way a couple of times in the red-zone. The 6'3" Metcalf proved he could be a real asset at the […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoTyler Lockett Posts 100 Receiving Yards Against Atlanta
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught all six of his targets for 100 yards in his team's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny carried the ball eight times for 55 rushing yards in his team's 27-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoChris Carson Powers For 90 Yards And A Touchdown
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards and punched in a goal-line touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoRussell Wilson Throws Two Touchdowns In Week 8
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw two touchdowns but only passed for 182 yards in his team's Week 8 win. There wasn't a whole lot for Wilson to do in this one after the first half, as the Seahawks jumped out to a 24-0 lead at the break. The run-heavy game script in the second […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoSaints Defense Quiet In Week 8
The New Orleans Saints Defense was excellent, just not for fantasy purposes. The team allowed nine points to the Arizona Cardinals and stalled most of their offensive drives. Unfortunately, they only posted three sacks and weren't able to generate any turnovers. New Orleans has playmakers on the defensive side of the ball and still should […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn was quiet in his team's 31-9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The 34-year-old wideout caught both of his targets for 42 yards.
