Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught two passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. Washington was targeted three times in the win. The third-year wide receiver found the end zone in the second quarter on a 13-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger. He caught the ball a few yards shy of the goal

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught six of his 10 targets for 57 yards in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. Johnson led the Steelers in targets and receptions and finished second behind only JuJu Smith-Schuster in receiving yards. The second-year wideout shook off a first-quarter blunder when he fumbled a punt return after New York’s first possession of

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught six passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Slayton was tied for the team lead in targets with nine as he emerged as a favorite target of Daniel Jones. Slayton has had a knack for scoring touchdowns in his career as he had eight last season on just 48

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught six passes for 69 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants. He finished second on the team with six targets, coming in only behind Diontae Johnson‘s 10. No one was happier than Smith-Schuster to see quarterback Ben Roethlisberger back healthy under center as the wideout almost matched his touchdown total of three

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 279 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh. Jones added 22 yards on four carries. It was a tough matchup vs a strong Steelers Defense, but Jones did not have an encouraging night for fantasy managers. He threw an awful interception in the red zone and only salvaged his night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. carried the ball 19 times for 113 yards in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. Snell came on in relief of starter James Conner, who injured his ankle during the game and did not return. It was a solid performance for Snell, who lost weight in the offseason and looked more explosive than

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner struggled in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. Conner saw six carries for nine yards and added two receptions for eight yards in the win before leaving early with an ankle injury. The ankle injury is yet another disappointing setback for Conner, who missed six games in 2019 with assorted injuries. Even worse for

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 32 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns in a 26-16 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. He also added three rushes for nine yards in the win. Roethlisberger got off to a slow start in his first game action since Week 2 of last season but he knocked off the rust as the

The Denver Broncos are without two key receivers in their Week 1 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. Courtland Sutton (shoulder) and K.J. Hamler (hamstring) will both sit, which means the Broncos will be light on wide receivers. Rookie Jerry Jeudy should get a pretty sizable workload in his NFL debut, while both Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton become intriguing value plays in DFS contests. Tight

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) was observed getting his ankle taped during Monday night’s contest against the Giants. The injury doesn’t appear too serious, but it is unknown when and if he will return to the game. In his place, Benny Snell Jr. should be the workhorse while Jaylen Samuels will likely catch passes out of the backfield. Source: Brooke Pryor

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. will be inactive for his team’s Week 1 contest against the New York Giants. Without McFarland available, the Steelers will rely on the same three running backs they did last year with James Conner, Benny Snell, and Jaylen Samuels. Conner should be considered the lead back here by a good bit and is a strong fantasy option in

With Darrynton Evans out, the Tennessee Titans have promoted running back Jeremy McNichols from their practice squad. He’ll be available on Monday night against the Broncos, but McNichols shouldn’t be on anyone’s fantasy radar. This is Derrick Henry‘s backfield, and while Evans is a candidate to spell him at times, the combination of McNichols and Sanorise Perry should barely see the football field. Source: ESPN

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski’s (pectoral) MRI exam confirmed that he didn’t suffer a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 1 win over the Panthers, according to a source. He could still miss time, but the injury isn’t as severe as it initially looked, and the Raiders are in the process of determining his timeline. Kwiatkoski is a run-stuffing linebacker that can be of

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) won’t play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Tate out, expect to see a ton of Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard at wide receiver. Both players are solid fantasy options in this contest, though it’s unlikely that a fantasy manager who was planning to start Golden Tate in this game will have access to either

The Denver Broncos haven’t ruled out wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) against the Titans on Monday night, but he appears to be a long shot to play, according to a source. Sutton suffered an AC joint sprain a few days ago in practice. He’d likely play if it was a postseason game, but the Broncos might play it safe and sit him out at the

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has a sprained medial collateral ligament and is expected to miss three weeks, according to a source. The Browns put Njoku on Injured Reserve on Monday, but it looks like he’ll miss the minimum time with his knee injury. The 24-year-old caught all three of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in

The Cleveland Browns placed tight end David Njoku (knee) on Injured Reserve with a knee injury on Monday. It’s unclear exactly what the specifics of Njoku’s knee injury are, but it sounds like he won’t be out too long. He’ll be forced to miss at least three weeks while on IR. He caught all three of his targets in Week 1 against the Ravens for

The Cleveland Browns released kicker Austin Seibert on Monday. Seibert struggled in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, missing an extra point and a 40-yard field goal in the contest. The move was expected after Cleveland signed kicker Cody Parkey earlier in the day. Seibert heads to the free-agency bin just a year after the Browns spent a fifth-round rookie pick on

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) suffered a high ankle injury in the Week 1 win over the Buccaneers, but it’s an injury he thinks he can play through, according to sources. Nobody is ruling Thomas out just yet for Week 2, with an extra day before the game against the Raiders on Monday night. The No. 1 wideout in fantasy had just

The Cleveland Browns are signing kicker Cody Parkey to their 53-man roster on Monday, according to a source. It’s a sign that Parkey will kick on Thursday night against the Bengals after Austin Seibert missed both of his attempts — a 41-yard field-goal attempt and an extra point — in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens. Parkey was released by the Titans last
