Jacoby Brissett Is Efficient In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a relatively quiet day as he totaled 146 yards on 17-for-28 passing with three touchdowns and one interception. He also added seven carries for 25 yards. Coming into the game, he wasn't expected to bring you a ton of production. If he hadn't lost a fumble, he would have […]

Aaron Rodgers Leads Packers To Win Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team to a divisional win against the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers finished the game completing 22 of his 34 attempts for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Rodgers did also have a rush attempt for no gain and a fumble. The Packers seemed to be improved on offense in […]

Drew Brees Injures Right Hand Against Rams

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) injured his right hand in Week 2 against the Rams and is on the sidelines. Brees has his right thumb wrapped and hasn't even attempted to throw a football while backup Teddy Bridgewater is in the game against Los Angeles. It's a worst-case scenario for Brees owners, especially […]

Deshaun Watson Salvages Poor Showing With Rushing Touchdown

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson couldn't get anything going through the air in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, going 16-for-29 for 159 yards and no touchdowns. Watson ran the ball four times for just five yards, but his fantasy day was saved by a rushing touchdown. It wasn't a good day, but it was also […]

Lamar Jackson Shows Legs In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson led the team in rushing in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals, racking up a career-high 120 yards on 16 carries. He also continued to show his ability as an efficient passer by throwing for 272 yards and two touchdowns without turning the ball over. Jackson connected with […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Breezes To Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 17 of 25 passes for 297 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Week 2’s annihilation of the Cincinnati Bengals. Garoppolo found both receiver Marquise Goodwin wide open for a 38-yard score then watched running back Raheem Mostert take a 39-yard screen to the house in the first […]

Mason Rudolph Throws First Two Career Touchdowns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Rudolph was thrust into action to start the second half after Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) sustained an injury. Rudolph looked solid and did a good job bringing the Steelers back into the game but the defense […]

Matthew Stafford Delivers Middling Effort In Lions Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford proved efficient in the Lions 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2, completing 22 of his 30 pass attempts, but he was otherwise unspectacular on the day. Stafford threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns while being picked off twice in what was a somewhat sloppy affair […]

Gardner Minshew Leads Jaguars In Rushing

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw for 213 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. He was 22-for-33 passing and also added 56 rushing yards on six carries. It was another solid fantasy outing for Minshew, though it didn't really translate to the scoreboard for the rookie passer. Minshew looks like […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Throws Two Touchdowns To Patriots

The mercy rule was finally invoked for Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after he threw his second pick-six to put Miami down 37-0 to the visiting New England Patriots. The Dolphins offense was again completely impotent with Fitzpatrick under center, totaling only 28 yards in their first eight drives. And while their next two drives […]

Tom Brady Racks Up Three Total Touchdowns In Romp

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 20 of 28 passes for 264 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the team's throttling of the Dolphins 43-0. Brady welcomed a new weapon to his team, a certain player named Antonio Brown, and the pairing immediately paid dividends. Brady looked Brown's way early and […]

Andy Dalton Under Pressure All Day

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton really missed his starting left tackle Cordy Glenn in Week 2 against the 49ers. Dalton was sacked four times and took several more hits after he got rid of the ball in the Bengals 41-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Bengals won't get any relief in the near […]

Dak Prescott Throws Three More Touchdowns in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had another strong performance in Week 2. He threw for 269 yards, completing 26 of his 30 passes for three touchdowns. Prescott threw an interception as well, but added 69 yards on five carries on the ground. Prescott's touchdowns were on passes to Devin Smith, Jason Witten, and Amari Cooper. […]

Joe Staley Carted Off With Leg Injury

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a potentially serious leg injury in Week 2 against the Bengals and was carted off the field. This has the looks of an injury that could be a season-ender for Staley. It'd be a big loss to San Fran's offensive line and a downgrade moving forward […]

Ben Roethlisberger Injures Right Elbow

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) injured his right elbow in Week 2 against the Seahawks and isn't starting the second half. Mason Rudolph is under center to start the second half. Big Ben is questionable to return. He had a very quiet first half against Seattle, going 8-for-15 for only 75 yards with no […]

Patrick Mahomes Will Have Eric Fisher Protecting Him

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (groin) is active in Week 2 against the Raiders on the road. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes would've been the top fantasy option at QB regardless of whether Fisher was active or not, but this just helps his outlook against a Raiders secondary that lost rookie safety Jonathan Abram (shoulder) […]

Tom Brady's Left Tackle Injured Against Miami

New England Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn (foot) was injured in Week 2 against the Dolphins and is questionable to return. Right tackle Marcus Cannon is inactive on Sunday with an injury of his own, so injuries are already wreaking havoc on the team's offensive line early in the year. It remains to be seen […]

Sam Darnold Hoping To Return In Week 5

Updating a previous report, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) said he's feeling much better and hopes doctors let him rejoin the team this week. He was told to take 21 days to recover from mononucleosis and is hoping to come back after the team's Week 4 bye. Darnold said he hasn't lost much […]

Matthew Stafford Without Left Tackle Against Chargers

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (back) has been ruled out in Week 2 against the Chargers. It's a downgrade for quarterback Matthew Stafford on Sunday, and he could be facing a lot of pressure from pass-rushers Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa. Stafford looked good in Week 1 throwing the football, but that was also […]

Dak Prescott's Extension Talks Have Stalled

The Dallas Cowboys' contract-extension talks with quarterback Dak Prescott have reached an impasse after owner Jerry Jones called a deal imminent just last week. Not much is going on and nothing is expected to happen for the foreseeable future, according to sources. Prescott could be holding out for a shorter-term deal that a lot of […]

Sam Darnold Could Be Out 3-7 Weeks

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is out for Monday night against the Browns with mononucleosis and could miss anywhere from three to seven weeks, according to sources. The illness affected Darnold in the season-opening loss to the Bills, and he's being quarantined from the rest of the team. At the very least, you […]

Nick Foles Could Return Week 11

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) is targeting a Week 11 return to the team when the team faces the Indianapolis Colts. Jacksonville made Foles their big acquisition of the offseason, and while rookie Gardner Minshew looked solid in his NFL debut, the team is expected to have Foles back in the starting lineup when […]

Seattle squeaks by the Bengals and a third of all survivor pools breathe a sigh of relief. On to the next week where hopefully you don’t need to sweat one out again. My other survivor play was the Broncos and they barely showed up. Most love to overreact after Week 1. Such thoughts seem to […]
