The Dynasty Aftermath: Record Breaking Fantasy Performances

With his 11 catches, 264 yards and three touchdowns, Ja’Marr Chase posted 55.4 points this week, putting him at #11 on the all-time single game performance list. It was an unbelievable performance from one of only a handful of players who have ever played in the NFL could really ever even pull off. The crazy thing it this may not even be the best game he puts up in his career. Yes, he’s that good. However, we can still say, “He’s a baaaad man, but he still ain’t no Jerry Rice.”

Fantasy LVP of the Week

Tank Bigsby has been one of the biggest surprises of the season thus far. Unfortunately, this week was a disaster as he was only able to post four yards before leaving with an ankle injury. There should be brighter days ahead, but this one hurt anyone who rolled the dice with him this week.
