Chris Godwin To Miss Week 8 With Fractured Finger

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) will miss the team's Week 8 contest against the Giants after fracturing his left index finger in the win over the Raiders. Godwin reportedly suffered the injury while making his touchdown grab in the fourth quarter against Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the injuries keep on piling up for […]

Falcons Defense Doesn't Do Much Against Lions

The Atlanta Falcons Defense had another quiet statistical day in a 23-22 loss to the Detroit Lions. Not only did they record just two sacks and no interceptions, but they also gave up the game-winning score to tight end T.J. Hockenson. This unit is definitely one to avoid for fantasy purposes, especially considering they offer […]

Younghoe Koo Has Quiet Day

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had just two opportunities- a pair of extra-points- and he made both of them in a 23-22 loss to the Detroit Lions. It was Koo's first game this year without at least one field-goal made. Otherwise, he's been an excellent fantasy kicker playing on a team whose offense constantly finds […]

Hayden Hurst Stays Hot In Loss

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught six of seven targets for 68 receiving yards against the Lions. Hurst and Matt Ryan had a rhythm all game, as the former worked the intermediate routes to perfection. That's two games in a row for the 27-year-old with at least 50 yards receiving, as the coaching staff […]

Russell Gage Sees Seven Targets In Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage hauled in six of seven targets for 54 receiving yards in a loss to the Lions. Gage tied with Calvin Ridley and Hayden Hurst for second on the team in targets. The 24-year-old did injure his knee in the first quarter but was able to return to the action. […]

Calvin Ridley Scores For Second Straight Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five of seven targets for 69 receiving yards and a touchdown in a narrow 23-22 loss to Detroit. Ridley corralled Matt Ryan's lone touchdown throw of the day and made a couple of highlight-reel grabs, including a nifty sideline catch where he got both feet in-bounds. Ridley has […]

Julio Jones Falls Just Shy Of 100-Yard Day

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones paced the team in targets, nine, receptions, eight, and receiving yards, 97, in a 23-22 loss to the Lions. He may not have found the end zone, but it's the kind of consistent performance that fantasy managers have come to expect from the former Alabama star. Jones has now […]

Todd Gurley II Finds The End Zone Twice

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II enjoyed a nice bounce-back performance in a loss to the Lions. Gurley II handled a season-high 25 touches, turning them into a disappointing 82 scrimmage yards, though he found the end zone twice. It's become somewhat of a theme for the veteran back, as he's been largely unimpressive […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 338 Yards And A Score

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 31 of 42 passes for 338 yards and a touchdown in a 23-22 loss to the Lions. Ryan found Calvin Ridley for his lone score of the game, though there certainly opportunities for more. Still, the takeaway from this game is that Ryan has righted the ship after there […]

Saints Defense Has Average Day

The New Orleans Saints Defense had a so-so day in a 27-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers. For the most part, the Saints kept the big play in check, except for a huge 74-yard touchdown from D.J. Moore. Their 24 points allowed weren't terrible, though they only registered one sack and failed to record an […]

Wil Lutz Makes All Five Kicks

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made both field-goal attempts and all three extra-points in a win over the Carolina Panthers. Lutz remains perfect on the year, having made all 32 kicks he's attempted. He has been Mr. Automatic for the Saints and his fantasy managers as we head into Week 8. Managers can rest […]

Jared Cook Finds The End Zone For Second Straight Game

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook had his second straight game with a touchdown in a victory over Carolina. Cook caught three of four targets for 32 receiving yards and a score, getting the party started for the Saints with a four-yard score in the opening quarter. The yardage numbers have been underwhelming, as […]

Deonte Harris Catches First Career Touchdown

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris hauled in four of five targets for 44 receiving yards, including his first career receiving score. Harris' score was crucial, as it came with just seconds left in the first half, giving New Orleans a 21-17 lead heading into the locker room. The dynamic return man flashed some […]

Tre'Quan Smith Posts 56 Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith was targeted just four times but caught all four, totaling 56 receiving yards in a win over the Panthers. It wasn't the volume fantasy managers were hoping for from Smith, as he took a backseat to undrafted rookie Marquez Callaway (ankle). However, Smith really could be the lone […]

Marquez Callaway Paces Team In Receiving

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway caught eight of 10 targets for 75 receiving yards in a 27-24 victory over Carolina. Callaway led the team in targets in the absences of both Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Somewhat quietly, the 22-year old rookie has compiled 16 targets over his last two […]

Latavius Murray Over 50 Scrimmage Yards In Win

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray posted 56 scrimmage yards on 12 total touches in a victory over the Panthers. Murray's 4.3 yards per carry were a bit skewed, as he picked up 25 yards on one run and just 22 yards on the other 10 carries. Still, the opportunity Murray is getting is […]

Alvin Kamara Tallies 148 Scrimmage Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball 14 times for 83 rushing yards and caught all eight targets for 65 receiving yards in a 27-24 win. The 83 rushing yards tied a season-high for Kamara, as the running room was easy to find against Carolina's ground defense. Amazingly, the star halfback has […]

Drew Brees Scores Three Total Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 36 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns along with a rushing touchdown. Brees was accurate throughout the contest, spreading the ball around to eight different receivers. The veteran even scored a rushing touchdown for the second straight game, pulling the old jump-over-the-line trick for a […]

Joe Mixon Considered Week-To-Week

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) is considered week-to-week by the team. Mixon has already been ruled out for Week 7 and could potentially miss Week 8 against the Titans as well. Backup Giovani Bernard is set to operate as the team's lead back against the Browns in Week 7 and would do the […]

Raiders Tests Come Back Negative

The Las Vegas Raiders were tested and have received the all-clear to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was essentially the entire starting offensive line for the Raiders that was at risk of missing the Week 7 contest, as center Rodney Hudson, guards Gabe Jackson and Denzelle Good, and left tackle Kolton […]

Antonio Brown Deal Worth Up To $2.5 Million

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected a make the deal official with the team on Monday. The contract is worth up to $2.5 million, including incentive bonuses if Brown hits on individual statistic marks or if Tampa Bay wins the Super Bowl. The mercurial wideout seems to have a good relationship off […]

Robert Tonyan Likely To Play, David Bakhtiari Ruled Out

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (ankle) is expected to play while left tackle David Bakhtiari (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Texans. Tonyan was able to practice in limited fashion after missing a session earlier in the week and gets a good matchup against a leaky Texans' secondary. Bakhtiari's […]

Michael Thomas In Danger Of Missing Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) is in jeopardy of missing Week 8 against the Bears. Thomas has already been ruled out for Week 7 after tweaking the hamstring in practice on Wednesday, further complicating his status moving forward. The All-Pro wideout underwent an MRI that showed a Grade 1 strain, which […]

Le'Veon Bell Will Debut Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell has impressed so far in practice and will be debuting as a Chief against the Broncos in Week 7. Bell has impressed the Kansas City coaching staff with his quick grasp of the playbook and has reportedly looked very good. Not only does his veteran presence and skill-set […]

D'Andre Swift Could See Expanded Role

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift may have earned himself an expanded role in the offense after a strong performance in Week 6. The appropriately-named Swift broke out in a big way against the Jaguars, totaling 116 rushing yards on 14 carries with two touchdowns scored. Veteran Adrian Peterson is the starter, though it seems […]

Denzel Mims Expected To Make Debut In Week 7

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) was activated off Injured Reserve on Saturday and is expected to make his rookie debut on Sunday against the Bills. It comes at a good time for the Jets, as top wideout Jamison Crowder (groin) is looking doubtful for the contest, likely granting Mims a large role […]

Julio Jones On Track To Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is fully expected to suit up on Sunday against the Lions. Fantasy managers likely weren't fooled by Jones' weekly tour with the injury report, as he often toughs it out and plays through things. The veteran wideout is coming off a monster game and has a juicy matchup […]

Curtis Samuel Likely To Play Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is looking likely to play on Sunday against the Saints. Samuel followed the same practice routine as last week, though he didn't end up playing in that contest. It's encouraging that there's optimism ahead of an important divisional battle with the Saints. Unfortunately, Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore […]

Sam Darnold Expected To Play In Week 7

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills. Darnold was listed as questionable after being limited all week, so things were certainly starting to look better. The 23-year-old missed two games with the injury and will likely be without his top receiver, Jamison Crowder (groin). […]

Gardner Minshew II Could Be Benched If Struggles Continue

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is in danger of being benched if his play doesn't improve, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Minshew II would seem to be on his way to a career year, completing 67.5 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns, though he has committed nine total turnovers. Averaging just seven yards […]
