Olamide Zaccheaus Catches Touchdown In Week 3 Win

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught three passes for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants. Zaccheaus took advantage of the opportunity with Russell Gage (ankle) sidelined, seeing the third-most targets on the team while hauling in one of Matt Ryan's two scores on the day, which gave his […]

Calvin Ridley Tallies Season-High 11 Targets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught eight of 11 targets for 61 yards in a Week 3 win over the Giants. Ridley's 11 targets and eight receptions were both season-highs, though he has just one touchdown and has yet to eclipse the 100-yard mark through three weeks of play. While it's frustrating for fantasy […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Posts 102 Scrimmage Yards In Win Over Giants

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson totaled 102 scrimmage yards on just 13 touches in a Week 3 win over the Giants. Patterson played a hair over 40 percent of the snaps, while seeing just three fewer touches than lead back Mike Davis. The dynamic runner hasn't looked very good on the ground lately but […]

Mike Davis Leads Team In Rushing

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis carried the ball 12 times for 50 rushing yards and caught all four targets for 20 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Giants. Davis ended up playing about 60 percent of the snaps compared to Cordarrelle Patterson's 40 percent, with Davis totaling 16 touches to Patterson's 13. Davis […]

Matt Ryan Fires Two Touchdown Passes In Victory

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 27 of 36 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's victory over the Giants. Ryan put together his best all-around effort of the season, throwing a score to Olamide Zaccheaus and Lee Smith while taking much better care of the football, though he did lose one fumble. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Won't Be Limited By Browns In Debut

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. won't be on any sort of "pitch count" on Sunday against the Bears. Beckham has missed the first two games of the season while recovering from a torn ACL, which he suffered last October. The star wideout appears poised for as large a workload as he can handle […]

Kenny Golladay Will Play, Expected To Have Reduced Snaps

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) will play- but is likely to see reduced snaps on Sunday against the Falcons. Golladay dealt with a nagging hamstring injury through the first two weeks, with a new hip injury clouding his status for Week 3. The news of a reduced workload reportedly comes from New […]

Trey Sermon Expected To See Bulk Of Carries Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Trey Sermon is expected to see the bulk of the carries on Sunday night against the Packers. Sermon, who cleared the concussion protocol on Friday, is one of three active backs on the roster- along with Trenton Cannon and Jacques Patrick. The 2021 third-rounder was a healthy scratch in Week […]

Alexander Mattison Likely To Start Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is trending towards starting Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Starter Dalvin Cook (ankle) was unable to practice all week, and the team is not particularly confident about his status as of Sunday morning. That would make Mattison, who has made two starts in his career, the lead back against […]

Andy Dalton Could Miss Additional Week Or Two

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) could miss an additional week or two with a bone bruise in his knee. Dalton's knee injury, which has already sidelined him for Week 3, will pave the way for rookie Justin Fields to make a couple of more starts. While Bears head coach Matt Nagy has stubbornly stuck […]

Joey Bosa Has Chance To Play

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot, ankle) is a game-time decision but has a shot to suit up against the Chiefs. Bosa was not able to practice this week. It's certainly not ideal for a premium pass-rusher to be dealing with lower-body injuries- though it's at least encouraging that the team is optimistic […]

Chris Jones Expected To Play

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (wrist) is questionable but will suit up Sunday against the Chargers. Jones was limited in practice all week but should be out there for a big divisional contest against Los Angeles. His presence is great news for the Chiefs' defense, as he has racked up 32 sacks and […]

Leonard Fournette Will Start Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will get the starting nod in the team's backfield against the Rams Sunday. Head coach Bruce Arians had named Ronald Jones II the starter ahead of last week's contest, though Jones has disappointed in game action, fumbling in Week 1 and running out of bounds before the first […]

DeAndre Hopkins Likely To Play Through Injury

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) is likely to suit up Sunday against the Jaguars. Hopkins failed to practice all week but was listed on the team's injury report as questionable, with a team source noting that the club is "pretty confident he'll play but not 100 percent." The All-Pro receiver doesn't need a […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Play

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) is likely to play in Week 3 against the Lions. Jackson practiced fully on Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday's sessions due to a stomach illness, indicating that he was trending in the right direction. The dynamic signal-caller has thrown for 474 yards with two passing touchdowns and two […]

Alex Colome Notches 16th Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome notched the easiest save of the season in Friday's win over the Blue Jays. Colome needed just five pitches to shut the door on Toronto, firing five strikes and picking up a punchout in the process. His rough start to the season is a distant memory now, as the […]

Bailey Ober Fans Six In Victory

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober picked up his third win of the season Friday against the Blue Jays. Ober pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits while striking out six batters with no walks issued. The lone blemish n an otherwise sparkling outing was a solo homer to Marcus Semien. The […]

Gleyber Torres Extends Hitting Streak To 10 Games

New York Yankees shortstop/second baseman Gleyber Torres went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's victory over the Red Sox. Torres started his day off with an RBI single, then powered a 104.1 MPH homer to give New York an 8-3 lead. He capped his day off with a 101.6 MPH single. […]

Giancarlo Stanton Homers, Drives In Four Friday

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, an RBI groundout, and a double in Friday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox. Stanton's 108.4 MPH opposite-field blast gave the Yankees a 6-0 lead in the third inning. The slugger is slashing .275/.298/.563 with seven homers, 16 RBI, and seven runs […]

Gerrit Cole Records Quality Start In 16th Victory

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole notched his 16th win of the season Friday against Boston. Cole was spotted an early seven-run lead by the Yankee lineup and proceeded to cruise for five innings, with his only blemish coming in the form of a three-run homer by Rafael Devers in the sixth inning. The […]

Texans Defense Allows 24 Points In Loss

The Houston Texans defense didn't produce much from a fantasy standpoint in Thursday's loss to the Panthers. Houston recorded three sacks of Sam Darnold but allowed over 400 yards of total offense along with 24 points. The Texans don't have many big-time playmakers on defense, making them a low-end streaming option at best most weeks.

Zane Gonzalez Has Solid Night In Victory

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez nailed a field-goal attempt and all three extra points in Thursday's win over the Texans. Gonzalez continued his solid start to the season, as he has now made 3 of 4 field goals and 5 of 6 extra points. The veteran kicker was last seen as an elite kicking option […]

Panthers Defense Holds Houston To Nine Points

The Carolina Panthers defense put together another strong effort in Thursday's win over the Texans. Carolina recorded four sacks while holding the Texans to just 193 total yards and nine points. Shaq Thompson and Donte Jackson were the leading tacklers, with Haason Reddick recording 1.5 sacks. Unfortunately, the defense lost promising rookie corner Jaycee Horn […]

A.J. Terrell Ruled Out Against Giants

Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell (concussion) has been ruled out for his team's Week 3 contest against the Giants. Terrell sustained a concussion during the Week 2 game against Tampa Bay, and was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday or Thursday. The 2020 first-round pick had looked impressive through the first two weeks […]

Russell Gage Ruled Out For Week 3

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) has been ruled out for the team's Week 3 contest against the Giants. Gage failed to practice Wednesday and Thursday and was not spotted at Friday's practice- so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for Sunday. Gage, who is considered week-to-week with an ankle injury that […]

Byron Buxton Extends Hitting Streak To Six Games

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, and a run scored in Thursday's win over Toronto. Buxton hit a 100.3 MPH single in the first inning- then ripped a 104.8 MPH double in the third inning, scoring on a Jorge Polanco single. The speedy outfielder is currently riding a six-game […]

Mitch Garver Has Three-Hit Day

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI single in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays. Garver started his day off with a 107.2 MPH single in the first inning, then added an RBI single in the third inning, which broke a 1-1 tie. The veteran backstop capped off his […]

Michael Pineda Wins Fourth Straight Start

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda was victorious for the fourth straight time Thursday against the Blue Jays. Pineda pitched five innings, allowing two runs on eight hits while walking one. He struck out only two batters. The veteran right-hander has been phenomenal in September, posting a 1.93 ERA over 18 2/3 innings. The key […]

Jordan Akins Hauls In Four Passes

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught four of five targets for 32 yards in Thursday's 24-9 loss to Carolina. Akins operated as a safety blanket of sorts for rookie quarterback Davis Mills, who connected with the tight end over the middle of the field for an 8.0 yards per reception mark. Akins saw the […]

Chris Conley Held Without A Catch Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley failed to record a catch in Thursday's loss to the Panthers. Conley had a quiet game despite the opportunity in front of him, as he saw just one target from rookie quarterback Davis Mills. The 28-year-old should continue to see a fair amount of playing time sans Nico Collins […]
