New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd remains involved in the offense on a weekly basis. The Pats are banged up at receiver right now, so Byrd was expected to see plenty of targets in this one. He finished with three receptions on four targets for 39 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Byrd hasn’t been able to produce significant

So much for that whole “Nelson Agholor is the WR1 for the Raiders” thing, as he finished Sunday’s game against the Browns with no catches on two targets. He was still third among the team’s wide receivers in targets in a game where the weather put a damper on the passing game, so don’t go out and drop Agholor. But what looked like a situation

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was set up for a big game with the offense banged up. Meyers saw 10 targets, but was only able to haul in six of them for 58 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This is the second straight week that Meyers has finished with 50 receiving yards or more. His usage is expected

New England Patriots running back James White has been fairly quiet throughout the 2020 season. Sadly, things didn’t get better for White during the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He rushed twice for zero yards and caught two receptions for 35 yards in the loss. Quarterback Cam Newton has not been able to build any chemistry with White this season. Damien Harris has

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead has not been able to do much damage on the field since his two touchdown performance in Week 3. He finished with six rushing attempts for 26 yards and one reception for five yards in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. At this point, fantasy owners can probably feel safe about dropping Burkhead in just about

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs rushed 31 times in Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Browns, finishing with 128 yards. He failed to bring in his only target. Wind and rain led to this being a run-heavy game for both teams, which is how Jacobs set season highs in both attempts and yards. Don’t expect this same level of usage again unless the Raiders

It was a windy day in Cleveland, which led the Las Vegas Raiders to run the ball 45 times against just 24 pass attempts (and two sacks) for quarterback Derek Carr. Carr did the best he could with those attempts, going for 15-for-24 for 112 yards and a touchdown. Still, there wasn’t much he could do with the weather in Cleveland. Don’t hold the low

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith caught two passes for 29 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Those were Smith’s only two targets. After a strong start to the season with five touchdowns in the first four games, Smith now had four total catches in the past three games. Smith is looking less and less like a fantasy TE1 with each passing week.

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has now put together two 100-yard rushing performances this season. In Week 8, he rushed 16 times for 102 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Harris continues to be the lead back in New England, but has limited fantasy value. The Pats basically only use Harris on the ground, so he doesn’t see

It wasn’t a huge game from him, but a touchdown salvaged a quiet Week 8 for Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown. Brown caught four passes for just 24 yards and took a backseat to Corey Davis at times. It’s looking like Brown’s not the true No. 1 receiver on this Titans team right now, though he’s still a solid fantasy play going forward. Davis’

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton made the most out of a bad situation with both of his top receivers sidelined in Week 8. He completed 15 of 25 passing attempts for 174 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. Newton also rushed nine times for 54 yards and one touchdown, which saved his fantasy value. Sadly, he fumbled in the red zone and cost

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught eight passes for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals. Davis led the team in receptions, targets, and yards, and saw double-digit targets for the second week in a row. We’re finally seeing the Corey Davis we thought we’d see when the Titans used a first round pick on him. He should be rostered

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook finished Week 8 with five receptions for 51 yards and a score on seven targets. Cook remained one of the top receiving options for Drew Brees given the injuries at WR and he produced. The TE now has over 50 yards in two of the past three games and has a touchdown in all three of the past

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis has been buried in the depth chart for most of the season. He wasn’t able to get much going during the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots. Davis finished with zero receptions on two targets in this one. To be fair, quarterback Josh Allen only attempted 18 passes all game long. The Bills were destroying the Patriots

Even in a game where his team trailed for most of the day, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry still managed to get his chance to shine. Henry had 18 carries, finishing with 112 yards and a touchdown. Cincinnati struggled to contain the Titans run game, with Jeremy McNichols also adding 49 yards on four carries and D’Onta Foreman 37 yards on five carries. Those

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre’ Quan Smith compiled five receptions for 43 yards on seven targets in Week 8. Even with the absence of key receivers such as Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, Smith has not taken advantage of that the past few weeks. The WR has totaled 43, 54, and eight receiving yards the past three weeks, which is certainly disappointing for managers

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft posted his biggest game of the season last week, but struggled to carry any momentum into Week 8. Kroft caught his lone target for 11 yards in the win over the New England Patriots. He saw another start with Dawson Knox (illness) sidelined once again. Sadly, there isn’t much value for Kroft on a weekly basis in Buffalo. This

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for 233 yards on 18-for-30 passing in Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He threw two touchdowns and a pick, plus added 20 rushing yards. Tannehill has started to develop a nice rapport with wide receiver Corey Davis, which boosts Tannehill’s stock going forward. Consider him a high-end QB2 play with upside due to his normal efficiency, even if

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley had seven carries for 32 yards during the loss to Denver on Sunday. He also had a catch for negative yardage. The rookie unsurprisingly conceded touches to Justin Jackson, who was effective in both the rushing attack and as a receiver. However, with Troymaine Pope getting more carries, it doesn’t bode well for Kelley’s long-term fantasy appeal moving

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was once again the focal point of his offense in Sunday’s win. The RB amassed 12 carries for 67 yards and nine receptions for 96 yards on 13 targets. Kamara may not be the most effective rusher as he has not gotten more than 83 yards rushing in a game this season, but he does bring value in
