New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith had a very quiet Week 1 game in a 34-23 win over the Buccaneers. Smith caught his lone target for four yards in what was a sloppy offensive game for New Orleans. It seemed to be a series of strange play calls from head coach Sean Payton, who said as much in the postgame presser. The 24-year-old was

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders posted just 15 receiving yards on three catches in Week 1. Sanders managed to salvage his day a bit with a late touchdown, though it was not a great performance. All of the Saints pass-catchers not named Alvin Kamara or Jared Cook seemed to struggle in this one, a game head coach Sean Payton called one of his

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught three of five targets for 17 receiving yards in a win over Tampa Bay. It was a strange sight seeing Thomas almost fazed out of the game plan, as he went a couple of series without recording a catch. Head coach Sean Payton took some of the blame, saying it was one of the worst games he’s

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had a forgettable game in a Week 1 win over the Buccaneers. Murray carried the ball 15 times but picked up just 48 rushing yards, as Tampa Bay’s strong front picked up where they left off last year. Fortunately, the 30-year-old retained his role in the offense from 2019, where he saw 10+ touches a game. Don’t expect

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense had a tough time containing the Saints offense in Week 1, managing one sack and allowing three total touchdowns. In a game that was expected be high scoring, Tampa did its best to hold Drew Brees and company in check, but ultimately struggled to contain tight end Jared Cook in particular. A better matchup awaits next week in the Panthers,

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored two touchdowns- and nearly had a third- en route to a 34-23 victory over the Buccaneers. His potential third score was overturned. It was a rough day for Kamara on the ground against Tampa Bay’s strong front, as he picked up just 16 yards on 12 carries, but the touchdowns and his work in the passing game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard had an encouraging Week 1, getting four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown. With the Bucs loaded in regards to their pass-catching corp, it seemed Howard would not have much of a large role heading into the season, but he certainly made a great impression in Week 1. While it’s likely he won’t have

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw two touchdown passes in a Week 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though it was by no means a good performance for the 41-year-old. He only threw for 160 yards and averaged a measly 5.3 yards per attempt, as he struggled to get the ball downfield throughout the contest. Brees wasn’t happy about his performance, throwing out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had a very modest debut with his new team, only getting two receptions on three targets for 11 yards. This was a bit shocking considering Gronk and Tom Brady have years of chemistry, but it seems Week 1 was more about shaking off the rust and the team getting in sync. Gronk may not always be a factor

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made two field goals in three tries in a win over the Eagles Sunday. Hopkins miss came from 48-yards out but made two shorter kicks including a 40-yarder. Hopkins was also 3-for-3 on extra point attempts. Hopkins has been a consistent contributor in fantasy for years and should be a low-end starter in 12-team fantasy leagues. He’ll have a

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans played in Week 1 despite a bunch of uncertainty regarding his playing status due to a hamstring injury. In the end, he was held in check while not playing at full capacity and he only recorded one catch for two yards which went for a touchdown. Evans’ injury is concerning and it’s something to keep an eye on

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. caught three passes for 50 yards in a win over the Eagles in Week 1. Sims was the second WR for Washington in most formations, but was targeted just three times as Washington ran the ball most of the second half. Sims has fantasy appeal in 14-plus team leagues as he should get more targets as the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller recorded five receptions on six targets for 73 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Saints. With Mike Evans dealing with a hamstring injury and not playing at full capacity, the underrated Miller got some more looks and capitalized. Tom Brady often raved about Miller’s abilities in training camp, and the WR would be in the conversation

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas made four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over Philadelphia. Thomas led Washington with eight targets as the Dwayne Haskins looked to his tight end frequently with few other options to target. Thomas’ involvement in Week 1 bodes well for his fantasy appeal moving forward. Washington doesn’t have a lot of proven

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin led the team with six receptions on seven targets for 79 yards in Week 1. With fellow wideout Mike Evans not at 100 percent, Godwin shouldered the load in the loss against the Saints. He is a WR1 candidate each week considering his major role on the team and the fact that he is coming off a proven

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five passes for 61 yards in a Week 1 win over the Eagles. McLaurin was shadowed by new Eagles cornerback Darius Slay and struggled to consistently get open for Dwayne Haskins. The good news for McLaurin is he still led the team with seven targets. This will likely happen most of the season with McLaurin, as teams

The 49ers Defense gave up 24 points to the Arizona Cardinals in a Week 1 loss. It wasn’t a horrible performance overall, but the team struggled to contain Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, especially in the run game as Murray tallied 91 rushing yards and a score. While the 49ers did come up with an interception on Murray, it was their only forced turnover in the

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne received five targets in the team’s 24-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1, but was only able to come away with two catches for 34 yards. Bourne’s five targets were tied for most on the team with four others, only one of whom, Trent Taylor, was a wide receiver. Bourne was the only 49ers receiver with

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green hauled in five of his nine targets for a team-high 51 yards during the loss to the Chargers on Sunday. Green, who returned after nearly a two-year absence, was a popular option for rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. Although Burrow and Green weren’t able to connect for six, they will likely develop a solid rapport as the season progresses, which

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had an underwhelming debut to the 2020 season. He caught four of his five targets for 44 yards and also added a nine-yard rush in the 49ers’ 24-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle briefly left the game late in the second quarter after injuring his leg and didn’t catch a single pass afterwards, though after the game
