Robby Anderson A Solid Flex Option Against Houston

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson draws a favorable matchup in Week 3 against the Texans.

Pharaoh Brown Should Be Avoided In Week 3

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown will be tough to trust in a Week 3 matchup against the Panthers.

Chris Conley Should Have Expanded Role Against Panthers

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley could be in line to see more work in the passing game in Week 3 against the Panthers. Conley has just three receptions in two games but was on the field for a whopping 90 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2. The 28-year-old could be the team's […]

Phillip Lindsay Off The Fantasy Radar Against Carolina

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay faces a tough test in Week 3 against the Panthers.

Mark Ingram II A Touchdown-Dependent Option In Week 3

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II has been the clear leader of his team's backfield through two weeks of play. Ingram has had a limited passing-game role but has received at least 14 touches in each of the first two games, though his 3.2 yards per carry average leaves much to be desired. Considered […]

[…]

Antonio Brown Has Quiet Day In Week 2 Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown caught just one pass for 17 yards in a 48-25 win over the Falcons.

Mike Evans Hauls In Two Scores In Blowout Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught five of nine targets for 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-25 win over the Falcons.

Giovani Bernard Hauls In Two Passes In Week 2 Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard caught both of his targets for 16 receiving yards in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Ronald Jones II Plays Second Fiddle In Blowout Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II tallied six rushes for 27 yards and caught one of three targets for nine receiving yards in a Week 2 win over the Falcons. After being tabbed as the team's starter by head coach Bruce Arians, Jones was the first back on the field but again took […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 11 times for 52 rushing yards, adding four receptions for 24 receiving yards in a 48-25 blowout win over Atlanta.
