Dak Prescott Not a Good Option in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a good fantasy option in a Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants. In what is expected to be a low-scoring game, Prescott isn't likely to do enough to even produce QB2 value. Prescott has been in the bottom half of QB fantasy scoring in nine of […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor is a top add of the week regardless of format. Taylor always got the short end of the stick in Buffalo from both a real-life perspective as well as fantasy. Yet he puts up solid production off the […]

Nick Foles Not a Good Option Despite a Good Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is not a recommended fantasy option this weekend despite facing off against the Tampa Bay defense. It's a good matchup on paper, but Foles is coming off a 117 yard performance in Week 1 and while he should do better in Week 2, it's unlikely to be good enough to […]

Josh Allen Officially Named As Buffalo's Week 2 Starter

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen has officially been named as the team’s Week 2 starter by head coach Sean McDermott.

Aaron Rodgers To Work With Rehabbing Players

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with other rehabbing players on Wednesday at practice.

Anthony Castonzo is a "Full Go" for Practice

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) is reportedly a "full go" for practice on Wednesday and "absolutely" expects to suit up when the team takes on the Washington Redskins in Week 2. While the Colts offensive line showed well in pass protection against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, run blocking was a clear problem […]

Nick Foles Officially Named the Starter for Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles officially named quarterback Nick Foles as the starter for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's football's least shocking news item, as Carson Wentz (knee) still hasn't been fully cleared for contact.

Matthew Stafford "Good To Go" in Week 2

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has no worries about his health status entering the Week 2 road matchup with the 49ers.

Chris Mortensen is reporting that Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen will start the Bills Week 2 matchup with the Chargers.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 2

That was a disappointing opening Thursday game...

Ben Roethlisberger Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is coming off a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Cleveland Browns.

Tyrod Taylor Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing just 15 of his 40 pass attempts.

Jared Goff Plays Well in Week 1

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff played as advertised against the Oakland Raiders in Week 1. Goff went 18-for-33 with 233 passing yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions in the 33-13 victory over the Raiders. Goff sat out the entire preseason, so it wasn't surprising he was a bit rusty at first. However, Goff […]

Eli Manning Looking For Revenge Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will look to put 2017 behind him when he takes on the division-rival Cowboys on Sunday night. The Giants offense struggled mightily against Dallas last season with Manning completing 60 of 84 passes for 448 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, leading to only 13 combined points in two […]
