Anthony Miller Finds The End Zone In Texans Debut

Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller caught four of six targets for 20 receiving yards and a touchdown in Thursday's defeat to the Panthers.

Phillip Lindsay Goes Nowhere In Loss

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay tallied seven carries for five rushing yards in a 24-9 loss to the Panthers. In a perplexing turn of events, Lindsay was on the field for the second-fewest amount of snaps but saw the most carries among the three Texans' backs, despite averaging a paltry 0.7 yards per carry. […]

David Johnson Not Very Involved In Week 3 Loss

Houston Texans running back David Johnson tallied two carries for 11 rushing yards in Thursday's loss to the Panthers. Johnson led the backfield in snaps by two plays- but oddly finished third among the Texans' backs in total touches. The veteran halfback also failed to haul in a reception for the first time this season. […]

Mark Ingram II Plods For 21 Yards In Loss

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II carried the ball six times for 21 rushing yards while hauling in his lone target for negative yardage.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 19 of 28 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown in Thursday's 24-9 loss to the Panthers.

Brandin Cooks Exceeds 100 Yards For Second Time This Season

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught nine passes for 112 yards in Thursday's loss to the Panthers.

The speedy receiver has now accumulated 23 catches for 322 yards and a […]

Tommy Tremble Scores First Career Touchdown

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught his lone target for 30 yards and ran in a seven-yard touchdown in Thursday's 24-9 victory over Houston.

Dan Arnold Sees Four Targets

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold caught two of four targets for 23 yards in a Week 3 win over the Texans. Arnold again operated as a solid, intermediate target for Sam Darnold, who looked his way four times for the second consecutive week. The big tight end has yet to capitalize on the chemistry […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Tallies Career-Highs In Receptions, Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. hauled in a career-high four receptions for 48 yards in Thursday's win over the Texans.

Robby Anderson Disappears In Win Over Texans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson hauled in just one pass in Thursday's 24-9 win over Houston. Anderson dropped a pass in the second quarter, then wasn't targeted again until the fourth quarter.

D.J. Moore Paces Team In Receiving In Week 3 Victory

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore caught 8 of 12 targets for 126 receiving yards in Thursday's victory over the Texans. Moore was the apple of quarterback Sam Darnold's eye all night, as the 12 targets were more than double what any other Carolina pass-catcher saw. The 24-year-old wideout connected with Darnold for chunk play […]

Chuba Hubbard Totals 79 Scrimmage Yards In Relief

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 11 times for 52 rushing yards while hauling in three of five targets for 27 receiving yards in a Week 3 win over Houston. Hubbard had taken a backseat to Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) the past two weeks but was thrust into the lead-back role when the […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Strained Hamstring

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is dealing with a strained hamstring. Head coach Matt Rhule said that he doesn't know the severity of the injury yet, but that McCaffrey will get an MRI.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold completed 23 of 34 passes for 304 yards with two rushing touchdowns in Thursday's win over the Texans.

Kyle Pitts Poised For Big Game Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is poised for the best game of his young career in Week 3 against the Giants.

Olamide Zaccheaus Likely The Second Wideout Against Giants

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus will likely be the team's second starting wideout in Week 3 against the Giants.

Calvin Ridley A Top Option In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will get a somewhat tough matchup against James Bradberry and the Giants defense in Week 3. Ridley has accrued 18 targets through two weeks of play, a number that ties him for seventh among all pass-catchers, and has totaled 114 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Alabama product also […]

Cordarrelle Patterson A Low-End Flex

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson will take on the Giants in Week 3. Patterson handled a season-high 12 touches last week, tallying 69 scrimmage yards with two touchdowns in his team's loss to Tampa Bay. The 30-year-old was on the field for 33 percent of the snaps, a number that paled in comparison to […]

Russell Gage Absent From Practice Once Again Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) didn't practice on Thursday. Gage logged his second straight 'DNP' after failing to record any practice activity on Wednesday as well. The 25-year-old was reportedly considered week-to-week and is a long shot to suit up against the Giants on Sunday. Gage's absence should grant opportunities for both Olamide […]

Mike Davis Could Bounce Back Against Giants

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis saw a decrease in touches last week, giving fantasy managers some pause heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Giants. While Davis ceded more touches to backup Cordarrelle Patterson, the former looked more impressive on the ground, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. While Davis' snap count percentage dropped […]

Matt Ryan Tough To Trust In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will take on the New York Giants in Week 3. Ryan was awful in Week 1 but started to show signs of a bounce-back the following week against Tampa Bay, throwing for 300 yards and two scores, though it ended in disappointment after he fired three interceptions. The veteran signal-caller […]

Gary Sanchez Belts Two-Run Homer Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez delivered a key home run in Wednesday's victory over the Rangers.

The […]

Corey Kluber Fails To Make It To Fifth Inning

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber didn't have his best stuff in Wednesday's no-decision against the Rangers. Kluber pitched just 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on a whopping eight hits. The veteran did exhibit solid control, striking out four batters with no walks issued. Most of Kluber's hits were allowed on two-strike counts, […]

Nick Gordon Doubles, Steals Base Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon collected a double, a stolen base, and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Gordon ripped a 97.9 MPH double, stole second base, and then scored on a sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old hasn't seen everyday playing time, but perhaps he should, as he's batting .326 with four runs […]

Max Kepler Belts A Pair Of Homers Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, two homers, a double, and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Kepler's fingerprints were all over this game, as he got the scoring started with a two-run shot in the first inning, then broke a 2-2 tie with another homer in the […]

Alex Colome Struggles But Picks Up 15th Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome barely managed to pick up his 15th save of the season Wednesday against the Cubs.

Panthers Defense Poised For Strong Game Thursday

The Carolina Panthers defense could have a strong game against the Texans in Week 3.

Those matchups have yielded totals of 10 sacks and three interceptions, numbers that have made the Panthers defense a startable option ahead […]

Dan Arnold A Streaming Option Against Texans

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold has an exploitable matchup on tap against the Texans in Week 3. Arnold had a quiet Week 1 but was productive in a tough matchup against the Saints, exceeding 50 receiving yards. The big tight end did see his snap percentage tumble last week, though that could have been […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Tough To Trust Despite Good Matchup

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. gets a good matchup against Houston in Week 3. Marshall has been the team's third wideout, playing at least 50 percent of the snaps each week and seeing a season-high six targets in Week 1. However, the production just hasn't been there yet, as the rookie receiver has […]
