The Denver Broncos Defense allowed 30 points to the Los Angeles Chargers and rookie quarterback Justin Herbert in Week 8, but they were able to record two interceptions and came up with some crucial third-down stops in the second half to allow the offense to complete the impressive comeback for the victory. Denver’s D wasn’t special by any means in this one, but they were

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made all four of his extra-point attempts and connected on his only field-goal try from 35 yards out in the team’s 31-30 Week 8 win over the division-rival Chargers. McManus has made 93.3 percent of his 15 field-goal attempts in 2020, but he’s been an inconsistent fantasy streamer because of the Broncos mostly average offense as a whole. He’s attempted

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam had just one target in the 31-30 Week 8 comeback win over the division-rival Chargers on Sunday, but his lone catch went for a nine-yard touchdown, the first of his career. Okwuegbunam saw 13 targets in Weeks 6 and 7 with Noah Fant fighting his way back from an ankle injury, but he was an afterthought in this

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler caught his first career touchdown pass in Week 8 against the Chargers, and it was a big one, as it proved to be the game-winning score as time expired in the 31-30 victory over the division rivals. Hamler caught all three of his looks in the game for 13 yards. From a fantasy perspective, though, the Penn State

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had a nice showing in the 31-30 Week 8 win over the Chargers by catching a team-high seven passes on nine targets for 47 yards. Fant’s nine targets were second-most on the team behind rookie receiver Jerry Jeudy, and it was nice to see after rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam outperformed him in his return from an ankle injury

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught four of a season-high 10 targets for a season-high 73 receiving yards in the 31-30 Week 8 comeback win over the Chargers on Sunday. Jeudy led the team in targets and was second in receiving yards to DaeSean Hamilton. The 21-year-old rookie from Alabama benefitted from Tim Patrick (hamstring) sitting out and the fact that the Broncos

Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton clearly was the biggest beneficiary of Tim Patrick‘s (hamstring) absence in the Week 8 comeback win over the Chargers. Hamilton caught four of his five targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the 31-30 victory on Sunday. Coming into Week 8, the 25-year-old wideout had recorded just five catches on 14 targets for 58 scoreless yards in six

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon did very little on the ground (eight carries, 26 yards) in a revenge game against his former team, the Los Angeles Chargers, in the Week 8 win. But he was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy stat line with six receptions on seven targets for 21 yards. Fantasy managers won’t be able to count on Gordon seeing that much

For the second straight week, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay outperformed teammate Melvin Gordon. Lindsay carried the ball six times for 83 yards (13.8 yards per carry) and a touchdown and added one catch on three targets for three yards in the 31-30 comeback win over the Chargers. The 26-year-old had two fewer carries than Gordon and caught five fewer passes, but he has

Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry carried the ball 18 times for 112 yards and a touchdown while failing to haul in his only target in Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Bengals. Henry dominated the Cincinnati front for 6.2 yards per carrying while recording a long gain of 21 yards. He scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, giving him eight touchdowns

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown caught four of seven targets for 24 yards and a touchdown during Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Bengals. Brown, who shrugged off a minor knee injury during the week, finished second on the team in targets but failed to strike for any plays longer than 10 yards. He did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a nine-yard

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had his best game of the season in the Week 8 comeback win over the Chargers. The second-year signal-caller from Missouri went 26-for-41 for 248 yards, three touchdowns and one interception for a 94.4 quarterback rating. It was Lock’s first game throwing a touchdown pass since the season-opener against the Titans, but he also missed two games with a right

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 233 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 20 yards on two carries during Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Bengals. Tannehill sports an impressive 17:3 TD: INT for the season, but his passing yardage totals have been inconsistent and he’s now been held under 250 yards in five of seven games. He’ll

The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired linebacker Avery Williamson and a 2022 seventh-round pick from the New York Jets on Monday in exchange for a 2022 fifth-round pick. Williamson will go from the league’s worst record (0-8) to the best record at 7-0 with the Steelers. He’ll help replace Devin Bush, who suffered a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago. Williamson is in the final year of

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught eight of 10 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown during Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Bengals. Davis led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards while finding the end zone in the fourth quarter. He broke off a long gain of 27 yards and consistently got open downfield as he averaged 16.0 yards per catch. Davis

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed on Monday that the team had two positive COVID-19 tests over the weekend. The Cardinals were on bye this week, but players were required to come into the team’s facility for testing every morning. Kingsbury said that contact tracing turned up “limited” results and all tests on Sunday came back negative. The names of the players that tested

The Los Angeles Chargers are shopping All-Pro defensive back and punt returner Desmond King with the trade deadline approaching on Nov. 3, according to sources. Multiple teams have inquired about him. King was a first-team All-Pro defensive back in 2018 and a second-team punt returner. The 25-year-old didn’t play in the Week 8 loss to the Broncos, and he has 24 combined tackles (19 solo)

Baltimore Ravens star cornerback Marlon Humphrey said that he has tested positive for COVID-19, and the team is following guidelines of the intensive COVID-19 protocols. Humphrey signed a five-year, $98.75 million contract extension just five weeks ago, and he’s considered one of the best shutdown cornerbacks in the NFL. Their secondary will be a bit compromised if he’s unable to clear the league protocols in

Green Bay Packers rookie running back A.J. Dillon tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, according to a source. Contact tracing is underway, and there are potential competitive implications with Green Bay’s Week 9 game scheduled for Thursday night against the 49ers. The Packers will hold all of their meetings on Monday virtually as a precaution. Dillon played 17 snaps against the Vikings on Sunday, but

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well as expected against a Ben DiNucci-led Dallas Cowboys team in Week 8. The Eagles Defense allowed just nine points (on three field goals) and added four sacks. While they did not come down with an interception, they did force and recover two fumbles, including one strip sack that turned into a touchdown. In standard scoring formats, the Eagles defensive
