D.J. Moore Sees 11 Targets Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore finished with eight receptions for 79 yards and a score on 11 targets in Sunday's win over the Saints. He led the team in receptions, yards, and targets in Week 2. Moore once again shined after putting up six receptions for 80 yards last week. The 24-year-old is the […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Rushing Touchdown In Win

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey amassed 24 rushes for 72 yards and a score along with five receptions for 65 yards on six targets in Sunday's victory over New Orleans. As expected, McCaffrey played a factor in the both rushing and passing game. The back now has put up two solid performances in a […]

Sam Darnold Tosses For 305 Yards

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold went 26-for-38 for 305 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's win over the Saints. Darnold once again put up a stellar performance and has played quite well in two games with Carolina this season. The QB has played generally turnover-free ball and has quite a few solid weapons […]

Christian McCaffrey Back In The Game

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) exited Sunday's game against the Saints, but the star rusher eventually returned to the field and managed to add a touchdown to his stat sheet. Considering McCaffrey re-entered this contest, we can safely assume he's good-to-go moving forward. He remains the overall RB1 in redraft and dynasty leagues.

Christian McCaffrey Questionable To Return In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. With the Panthers up 17-0, the team might play things safe with McCaffrey, who appeared to be having leg cramps on the sideline. McCaffrey has 17 carries for 58 yards and four catches for 56 yards. […]

Shi Smith Inactive Again In Week 2

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Shi Smith (shoulder) is inactive again in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints after recovering from his preseason shoulder injury. Smith had been out since Aug. 28, but he practiced in full all week, so this is more of a coach's decision. Robby Anderson, D.J. Moore, fellow rookie Terrace […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 2

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and true to form, the league's top cornerbacks held their receivers in check for the most part. James Bradberry limited Courtland Sutton, Marcus Lattimore shut down Davante Adams, Jaire Alexander locked up Marquez Callaway and Jalen Ramsey more or less took Allen Robinson out of the game. The wide receiver matchup […]

Week 2 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a Week 1. As we've come to expect from the NFL, we saw the unexpected. We had some young teams (like the Eagles) break out and some veteran teams (like the Packers) fall short.

NFL Betting Picks for Week 2 (9/19/21) - Spreads, Totals, and Moneylines

Man, some tough beats in Week 1. The Dolphins were the absolutely better team against the Patriots and should have had the lead heading into the locker room, but I bet the straight up 1H winner and they tied so we count it as a loss. San Francisco scared us all against Detroit, but they […]
