Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was able to keep the role coach Bruce Arians promised for Week 1, which was being the lead back. Jones got 17 carries and turned it into 66 yards while also chipping in 16 receiving yards. What was more encouraging for this RB was the fact that Leonard Fournette only received five carries. This bodes well for

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley ran for 60 yards and a touchdown off of 12 carries during the win over the Bengals in Week 1. The rookie was productive in his first game as a professional, maintaining an efficient 5.0 YPC on the day. Unsurprisingly, he conceded touches to Austin Ekeler, who had 19 attempts for 84 yards, but the fourth-round selection should

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady had a tough debut with his new team, going 23-for-36 and getting 239 passing yards with two touchdowns and two picks. Brady notably threw a pick-six in the contest as well. The legendary QB’s debut with his new team didn’t go as well as hoped, but that also attributes to him still forming rapport with his new receivers. A

The Cleveland Browns Defense struggled to contain the Baltimore Ravens in a 38-6 loss in Week 1. Cleveland managed just two sacks and was unable to force a turnover in the loss. Fortunately most fantasy gamers didn’t start the Browns defense as expectations weren’t high for Cleveland in this matchup as the Ravens were one of the best offenses in the league in 2019 and

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku had a solid game in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Njoku caught all three of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in the lopsided loss. The veteran tight end found the end zone on a one-yard pass from Baker Mayfield in the first quarter and later ripped off a 28-yard reception. He

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler ran for 84 yards on 19 attempts in the tight win over Cincinnati on Sunday. He also added a catch for three yards. This was a respectable performance from the veteran despite conceding attempts to 2020 fourth-round selection Joshua Kelley, who managed to run for 60 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. The rookie should continue to

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper was quiet in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Hooper was targeted just twice, catching both for 12 yards in his first game for Cleveland after joining the team as a free-agent signing in the offseason. More was expected out of Hooper, who wasn’t even the most productive tight end on the team as David

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry led his team in receiving in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Landry hauled in five of six targets for 61 yards in the losing effort. The veteran receiver came into the game with some questions about how much he would play after offseason shoulder surgery but he saw enough run to finish second on

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had a quiet outing in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Beckham caught just three of 10 targets for 22 yards in the lopsided loss while committing several mistakes along the way. The star receiver committed a brutal drop that would have given his team a new set of downs on a third down.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw for 208 yards during the narrow win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also added six carries for seven yards. This was a classic Taylor performance as he couldn’t really get anything going on the day, which was evident by his 53.3 completion percentage. Although the Bolts managed to scrape a win together, the outlook for Week 2

The Atlanta Falcons Defense was shredded by Russell Wilson and the Seahawks in Week 1. The team allowed 322 passing yards and four scores to Wilson, as they simply had no answer for him or Seattle’s pass catchers. Atlanta did register three sacks- 1.5 for Grady Jarrett- and a fumble, but it was a performance to forget. The unit should again be avoided in Week

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both his field-goal attempts and one extra point in a 38-25 Week 1 loss to Seattle. Koo impressively made a pair of 49-yard kicks, showing both the strength and accuracy of his leg. While the missed extra point isn’t ideal, it’s not enough to damper Koo’s good start to the 2020 season. The 26-year-old should see his fair share

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst had an underwhelming debut in Week 1 against the Seahawks. Hurst saw five targets and caught three of them, but only managed 38 receiving yards. The 27-year-old showed off his athletic ability with a diving, 27-yard reception, though he was mostly held in check by safety Jamal Adams and the rest of the Seattle secondary. It certainly didn’t help

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage had a career day against Seattle, catching nine passes for a career-high 114 yards in a losing effort. Gage took a hard hit from safety Jamal Adams and was in the concussion protocol, but was cleared to return to the game. The 24-year-old amazingly saw the same number of targets as fellow wideouts Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley in

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught two passes for 26 yards in his NFL debut against the Packers in Week 1. The highly-touted draft pick was targeted three times and was out-snapped by teammate Bisi Johnson. The Vikings think the world of Jefferson but it is clear he has to earn his way to more playing time. Jefferson’s fantasy value exists only in dynasty

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson caught three passes for 56 yards in the team’s 43-34 loss to the Packers in Week 1. Johnson beat out rookie Justin Jefferson as the starter heading into the season and Johnson came down with a nice 29-yard reception. He was only targeted four times in the game but proved that he could be a roadblock for Jefferson’s fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley put up a massive stat line in a 38-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Ridley caught nine of 12 passes for 130 yards and two scores, the third multi-touchdown game of his career. Ridley’s 12 targets were tied for the team lead with Julio Jones and Russell Gage (groin) as Atlanta ramped up their passing attack in an effort

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught six passes for a team-high 110 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings 43-34 loss to the Packers. Thielen saw eight targets in the game, most importantly a 19-yard and 37-yard receptions for touchdowns. After an injury-plagued season in 2019, Thielen is off to an elite start. The veteran should be considered a WR1 fantasy option heading into

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 19-of-25 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Vikings disheartening 43-34 loss to the Packers. It was a choppy start for the Vikings offense and Cousins was sacked in the end zone for a safety in the first half. The veteran quarterback did lead the team to 24 fourth quarter points but it was not

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 12 times for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings 43-34 loss to the Packers in Week 1. It was tough sledding at times for the dynamic runner but still converted on two short-yardage chances for two scores. Cook was the touches timeshare over teammate Alexander Mattison 12-6 but the Vikings offense just couldn’t keep
