Learn From yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The NFL season builds upon itself each week and offers up its share of highs and lows. This is on a cumulative basis but DFS gives us a fresh start each week. The key is to take everything as a learning experience while not overreacting in either direction. We are here to make hoping for tomorrow a little more palatable.
Each week we will take a look at both positive and negative situations that transpired from the week prior and what it means going forward. Let’s keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg and throughout the week we will go into further detail about other players that deserve our attention for the coming slate of games. That is why you need to stick with us throughout the week.

As a preview of what you can expect. On Saturday we Josh Allen show why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league in leading the Bills to a close win against the Colts. Allen threw for 324 yards, and two touchdowns as well as 56 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground. Stefon Diggs was also sensational for the Bills catching six passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. For the Colts, Phillip Rivers threw for 309 yards and a touchdown, Jonathan Taylor, rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown, we also saw Jack Doyle catch seven passes for 70 yards and a touchdown.

I was surprised to see the Rams and the Seahawks combine for 50 points. Cam Akers was the story for the Rams, rushing for 131 yards and a score, and adding another 45 yards receiving as well. D.K. Metcalf was the only player of any significance for the Seahawks, catching five passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns.
We had a surprisingly high point total from Tampa Bay and Washington this week as well, but the Bucs were able to get the win. Tom Brady had a big game(as predicted here) throwing for 381 yards and two touchdowns. Leonard Fournette had 93 rushing yards and a touchdown. Mike Evans caught six passes for 119 yards, and Chris Godwin added five receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown as well.
In Tennessee, we saw Lamar Jackson, do Lamar Jackson things as the Ravens beat the Titans 20-13. Jackson threw for 179 yards, and rush for 136 yards and a touchdown. Marquise Brown also caught seven passes for 109 yards for the Ravens. For the Titans, we saw A.J Brown catch six passes for 86 yards and a touchdown, but the Ravens really shut everything else down.
Down in New Orleans, the Saints didn’t struggle much against the Bears winning 21-9. Drew Breesthrew for 265 yards and two touchdowns, Alvin Kamara came off the IR and rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown, and added 17 receiving yards, and Michael Thomas caught five passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. For the Bears, Allen Robinson caught six passes for 55 yards.

Baker Mayfield threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns for the Browns, Nick Chubb rushed for 76 yards and caught four passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Kareem Hunt also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns and caught a pass for 19 yards as well. Jarvis Landry also caught nine passes for 92 yards and a touchdown. On the Steelers side, Ben Roethlisberger threw for 501 yards, and four touchdowns, but also had four interceptions.
