Teddy Bridgewater Excited To Work With Drew Brees

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater says that he is excited to work with and learn from Drew Brees. After being traded from the New York Jets less than a week ago, Bridgewater is on a one-year contract with the Saints. At nearly 40 years old, Brees will certainly be leaving the NFL in the […]

Cowboys Not In Market For Backup QB

Dallas Cowboys owners Jerry Jones said the team isn't in the market for a backup quarterback "at this time." The Cowboys were high on free-agent quarterbacks Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook two years ago, but they will go with Cooper Rush and Mike White as the backups to Dak Prescott to start the year. Lynch […]

Trent Brown Will Play Sunday

New England Patriots left tackle Trent Brown had an excused absence from practice on Tuesday and will return Wednesday and play in Week 1. Brown has the all-important job of protecting quarterback Tom Brady's blindside in 2018.

Jets Sign Davis Webb To Practice Squad

The New York Jets signed free-agent quarterback Davis Webb to their practice squad on Tuesday, releasing quarterback John Wolford in a corresponding move. The former third-round pick was surprisingly cut by the Giants over the weekend. He's merely a stash in the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Carson Wentz Is Close

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is "close" to being ready. Wentz will be out for the season opener this Thursday against the Falcons, but he appears to be on track to return in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Wentz has top-five fantasy upside at his position and would be […]

Giants Like Kyle Lauletta As Backup

The New York Giants have been impressed with rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta enough that they waived Davis Webb over the weekend. The experience of 30-year-old Alex Tanney also won him a spot on the roster as the third QB. However, the team will visit with free-agent quarterback Matt McGloin this week. Head coach Pat Shurmur […]

Joe Flacco Locked In As Week 1 Starter

Despite the Baltimore Ravens decision to keep quarterback Robert Griffin III on their 53-man roster, Joe Flacco is locked in as the Ravens Week 1 starter against the Buffalo Bills. Flacco heads into the matchup facing one of the worst pass rushes in the league, according to Pro Football Focus, which ranks 31st in the […]

Nick Foles Unlikely to Replicate Super Bowl Heroics in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will get the start for the Eagles in Week 1, but he isn't a recommended starter for your fantasy team. With the team's top wide receiver, Alshon Jeffery (shoulder), missing the first game, Foles will have a limited cast to work with. Foles is currently in the lower end of […]

Ben Roethlisberger A QB1 Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will open the 15th season of his NFL career against a familiar foe when he travels to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Much has been made of Roethlisberger's struggles on the road in recent years but the Pro Bowl quarterback will go against a Cleveland secondary that allowed the […]

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated and Undervalued?

Why? Why is it so hard for analysts and fantasy players to give Kirk Cousins any respect? By this point in time he must be feeling like Rodney Dangerfield. Yes, he is going to a new team with a new offense. But this is where the hardship stops. Despite obvious upgrades across the field and […]

Drew Brees A QB1 Option For Week 1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will have a favorable matchup when he takes the field Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The 39-year-old will face a Buccaneers looking to improve upon allowing the 14th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2017. Brees completed 44-of-57 passes for 509 yards and three touchdowns in two games […]

Bills To Work Out Paxton Lynch

The Buffalo Bills will work out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch on Monday, according to sources. Lynch was a first-round bust for the Broncos in 2016 and has looked overwhelmed whenever he has stepped on an NFL field. He could become the team's No. 3 behind Nathan Peterman and rookie Josh Allen, though. Lynch is no […]

Desmond Harrison Could Start At Left Tackle

Cleveland Browns rookie offensive tackle Desmond Harrison could start Week 1 as the starting left tackle against the Steelers. Joel Bitonio could be moved back to his natural position of left guard as a result. That would leave the 33rd overall pick, Austin Corbett, as the odd man out. "He can move, man,'' Bitonio said. […]

Jets Officially Name Sam Darnold The Starter

The New York Jets have officially named rookie quarterback Sam Darnold as their starter for Week 1 against the Lions, according to sources. This has been expected for a while after the Jets traded Teddy Bridgewater to the Saints. Veteran Josh McCown will serve as the backup and mentor Darnold in his rookie campaign. Darnold […]

Joshua Dobbs Named No. 2 QB

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs said he's been named the No. 2 quarterback behind Ben Roethlisberger. Rookie Mason Rudolph will enter the year as the No. 3 after the team cut Landry Jones over the weekend. Dobbs won't have any fantasy value unless Big Ben is injured and misses time.

Nick Foles Named Week 1 Starter

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Monday that quarterback Nick Foles will start in the season opener against the Falcons on Thursday night. Carson Wentz (knee) still hasn't been cleared for contact and could also be in danger of missing Week 2. It's put a big dent in his fantasy value to open up the year […]

Matt Kalil Lands On IR

The Carolina Panthers officially placed left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Monday. He will be eligible to return to the team after Week 8. The loss of Kalil along with the injury to right tackle Daryl Williams leaves an already thin offensive line in a bad position. That's not good news […]

Andrew Luck Returns to Practice

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (foot) returned to practice on Monday. It was expected that the Colts passer would be back practicing quickly after sustaining a minor foot injury in the preseason. All signs point to Luck starting against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, where he will look to show fantasy owners that he […]

Bills Name Nathan Peterman Starting Quarterback

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman will open the regular season as the starting quarterback for Week 1. Peterman clearly outperformed rookie Josh Allen and former Bill AJ McCarron. Peterman was very efficient this preseason, going 33 of 41 for 431 yards to go along with three passing touchdowns and one interception. Allen, on the other hand, seemed […]

Robert Griffin III To Start As Joe Flacco's Backup

The Baltimore Ravens plan is to have quarterback Robert Griffin III as the No. 2 behind Joe Flacco to enter the regular season. That means that rookie Lamar Jackson will get to sit and learn as the No. 3 QB. Jackson flashed his playmaking ability in the preseason and in training camp, but he still […]

Carson Wentz Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has yet to be cleared for contact. While not official yet, Wentz is fully expected to be ruled out for the season opener on Thursday against the Falcons. He could also miss Week 2. Wentz's stock as a QB1 has fallen due to his slow rehab from knee surgery, […]

Ed Dickson Put On NFI, Austin Davis To IR

The Seattle Seahawks placed tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) on the reserve/Non-Football Injury list on Saturday and also placed quarterback Austin Davis on Injured Reserve, according to a source. Dickson will now miss the first six games of the season. Nick Vannett will be the main pass-catching tight end but will share time with rookie […]

Carson Wentz Not Expected To Start In Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles plan is to start quarterback Nick Foles in the season opener on Thursday against the Falcons over Carson Wentz (knee), according to sources. Wentz's rehab has been a successful process, but the Eagles are taking the cautious approach. Wentz could possibly sit out another week, too, which makes his draft stock entering […]

Todd Gurley, Jared Goff Are Strong Week 1 Plays

The Oakland Raiders traded edge rusher Khalil Mack over the weekend. Mack finished sixth via Pro Football Focus last season, including fourth against the run. His absence in their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams makes quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley move even higher up on the totem pole. The […]

Garrett Gilbert Released By Panthers

The Carolina Panthers cut backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert among many moves to trim their roster down to 53 players this weekend. Gilbert was the front-runner to be the backup to Cam Newton, but he lost out on the gig to Taylor Heinicke. Heinicke's experience in offensive coordinator Norv Turner's scheme in Minnesota likely gave him […]

Steelers Release Landry Jones

The Pittsburgh Steelers released quarterback Landry Jones this weekend. The Steelers decided to go with rookie Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs as the backups to Ben Roethlisberger. Jones played in parts of three games last year and had one touchdown and one interception in 28 pass attempts.

Matt Barkley Placed On IR

The Cincinnati Bengals placed quarterback Matt Barkley (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Sunday. He won't be eligible to return until after Week 8. Jeff Driskel will be the primary backup to Andy Dalton heading into Week 1.

Markus Wheaton, Kamar Aiken Among Roster Casualties

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receivers Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken, quarterback Joe Callahan and running back Matt Jones as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players this weekend. It's a bit surprising that both Wheaton and Aiken were let go with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) set to miss the first couple weeks of the […]

Tom Savage Doesn't Survive Final Cuts

The New Orleans Saints released quarterback Tom Savage this weekend after they traded for Teddy Bridgewater this week. The writing was on the wall for Savage once the team acquired Bridgewater. Taysom Hill will be the No. 3 behind Bridgewater and Drew Brees.
