Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught five of nine targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in a 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He also lost a fumble in the game. Claypool hooked up with Ben Roethlisberger for an eight-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, giving him seven total scores on the year. The rookie has been a bit

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught one of three targets for six yards in a 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He left briefly during the first quarter to get his hamstring checked out but he wound up returning to action by the second quarter. It is hard to say whether the injury played into Johnson’s slow performance but he was

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine racked up 32 yards and a touchdown off 10 attempts during the win over the Titans on Sunday. He also added a catch for two yards. With Joe Mixon (foot) out of the lineup, the 25-year-old served as the No. 2 option out of the backfield. Although Perine may not have this type of performance again over the team’s

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven of eight targets for 67 yards in a 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Smith-Schuster got off to a slow start but got more involved as the game went on and wound up leading the team in receiving. It goes down as his second straight productive fantasy outing after he struggled in Weeks 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins finished with six catches for 78 yards during the win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The rookie led the team with nine targets on the afternoon while also racking up his third-straight contest with at least five catches and 71 yards receiving. With Joe Burrow passing often from week-to-week, Higgins should benefit throughout the team’s next eight games,

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard ran for 62 yards and a touchdown off of 15 carries during the upset victory over the Titans on Sunday. He also added three catches for 16 yards and an additional score. The veteran has filled in admirably for Joe Mixon (foot), who has now missed the team’s previous two contests. With Mixon labeled week-to-week, Bernard could be in

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow guided his team past the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, finishing with 249 yards and two touchdowns off 26-for-37 passing. The rookie was locked in throughout most of the matchup and displayed some fancy footwork to avoid being sacked on several occasions. The signal-caller now has 11 scores on the season while also racking up at least 300 yards throwing in

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried 15 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Conner also added 13 yards on three receptions in the win. While it wasn’t a huge outing from Conner, he did well to produce the way he did against a tough Baltimore run defense. Conner has now found the

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 32 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. His two touchdown passes went to Eric Ebron and Chase Claypool in the win. While it wasn’t a huge performance out of Roethlisberger, it was more than serviceable as he led his team to a come from behind

Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) will miss the remainder of the year, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The 26-year-old, who recently signed a five-year, $98.75 million extension, needed to be placed in an air cast in what was classified as a “severe ankle injury.” Stanley is widely considered as one of the best offensive linemen in the league, and his absence could make

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught four balls for 63 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 versus the New York Jets. Robinson saw some more playing time with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) sidelined, but with so many options for the Chiefs offense, Robinson is a shaky weekly play. Robinson should be viewed as a WR5 and managers should be able to find better

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught seven of his nine targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the New York Jets. Hardman had a career day and saw an uptick in snaps with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) remaining sidelined. Watkins has a chance to return in Week 9 and that would limit Hardman’s value. Even if Watkins is out, Hardman

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill continued his touchdown streak on Sunday against the New York Jets. Hill caught four balls for 98 yards and two touchdowns. The Cheetah has now scored at least one touchdown in all but one game this season. The speedy receiver will look to keep it going against the Carolina Panthers in a favorable matchup in Week 9. Hill

The Cleveland Browns Defense picked up two sacks in a 16-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. While they came into the game leading the league with 14 takeaways, Cleveland’s defense was unable to force any turnovers on a windy, chilly day. Defensive end Olivier Vernon led the way in the game, notching both of the team’s sacks. Cleveland will be on

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce enjoyed an eight catch afternoon versus the Jets on Sunday afternoon. Kelce turned those eight catches into 109 yards and a touchdown. Managers have to be happy with this performance after Kelce had a rough Week 7. Kelce remains part of a 1a/1b option with wide receiver Tyreek Hill for Patrick Mahomes. Kelce will be a TE1 going

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught three passes for 27 yards in the Vikings 28-22 win over the Packers in Week 8. Thielen and the team’s receivers were not needed in a game when star running back Dalvin Cook amassed 226 all-purpose yards. Thielen should see more targets in Week 9 against the Lions than the four he saw in this contest. Despite the

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell didn’t put up the numbers he would have liked to against the Jets in a revenge game. Patrick Mahomes took control of the Chiefs offense in this contest and Bell only picked up seven yards on six carries. The veteran also caught three balls for 31 yards. Bell remains the best backup option for rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire and

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was quiet Sunday afternoon versus the New York Jets. It was all Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs victory Sunday. CEH only rushed for 21 yards on six carries and caught three balls for 10 yards. The good news for Edwards-Helaire owners is that Le’Veon Bell only rushed six times, but backup running backs Darrel Williams and Darwin

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes dominated in Week 8 against the New York Jets. Mahomes was 31-for-42 on the afternoon for 416 yards and five touchdowns. Mahomes made it look easy against the winless Jets. The MVP was pulled in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand, but managers have to be happy with the results Mahomes gave them. Mahomes will face

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook posted 226 all-purpose yards with four touchdowns in the Vikings 28-22 win over the Packers in Week 8. Cook gashed the Pack for 163 rushing yards on a whopping 30 carries and added two receptions for 63 yards, including a 50-yard score. Cook’s elite speed was on full display and Green Bay had zero answers to combat it. The
