Leading up to Sunday the stories of the week revolved around wide receivers. Starting with the tragic accident involving now-former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Henry Riggs. Followed by New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas announcing that his recovery has suffered a setback, just after the NFL trade deadline had passed.
The Week 11 matchup between the Detroit Lions (4-5) and the Carolina Panthers (3-7) has the potential to be an exciting game on both sides of the field. The teams are comparable on paper and each should put up a good fight for the victory.
The Detroit Lions (3-4) hit the road to face their NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings (2-5). This is a
The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5) travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers (1-4) in a battle of one-win teams. The Chargers come off their bye week, so they will be extra prepared while the Jaguars try to bounce back from a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions last week.
Coming into this game, the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals seemed to be heading in opposite directions, leading most to believe that Arizona would run away with this game. However, the Lions defense stepped up and slowed down quarterback Kyler Murray, and Detroit squeaked out a win on the road.
After a fascinating Week 1 of the NFL season, featuring some vintage performances from veteran quarterbacks all around the league along with new blood quickly making an impact, Week 2 is upon us.
With the 2020 NFL season starting tomorrow night, here are 10 weekly observations from the week that was.
After getting released by the Washington Football Team by the 53-man roster cuts, the ageless Adrain Peterson has found a new home.
The Washington Football Team released running back Adrian Peterson on Friday. Peterson had been with Washington for the last two years and led the team in rushing with 1,940 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Before Friday came around, all eyes were on Derrius Guice being the lead-man in Washington’s backfield. After tearing his ACL in his rookie year, Guice tore his meniscus in week one of the regular season but returned to get injured once again. Now, his problems have continued but this time they are off the field. He was charged with strangulation, assault and battery, as well as the destruction of property. Shortly after finding out this news, the Washington Football Team decided to release the injury-prone back. With Guice now out of the picture, the backfield takes a bit of a turn fantasy-wise. I’ll go through each option in the backfield and include their current ADP.
To help fantasy football players with their roster construction, three of our writers have provided some insight on which players they would start, would sit, and consider a sleeper for week nine. Be sure to follow all of them on twitter and ask any of The Scorecrow’s fantasy writers for fantasy advice.
Last week’s Thursday night game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos wasn’t much of a contest. Despite the Chiefs losing star quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter with a dislocated kneecap, the Broncos didn’t score after the opening drive and went on to lose 30-6. Hopefully, tonight’s game between the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings is more entertaining, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
