Matt Kalil Put On IR, Daryl Williams Returns To Practice
The Carolina Panthers placed left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Sunday. Kalil underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee after consulting with Dr. James Andrews.

Christian Hackenberg Lands On Cincy's Practice Squad
The Cincinnati Bengals are signing quarterback Christian Hackenberg to their practice squad, a source said Sunday. The signal caller, who failed to make the Philadelphia Eagles' 53-man roster this summer, has experience with offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and some familiarity with Jim Haslett, as he was a consultant at Penn State back in 2005 when […]
Matt Cassel Wins Lions Backup Quarterback Job
Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel has won the preseason battle to be the team’s backup quarterback, as Jake Rudock was cut during Saturday’s wave of roster cuts.

The Miami Dolphins claimed quarterback Luke Falk on waivers on Sunday. Falk was a sixth-round pick by the Titans this year but didn't make the team's final roster. With Brock Osweiler and David Fales both making the roster behind starter Ryan Tannehill, Falk could be ticketed for the practice squad.
Davis Webb Waived By Giants
The New York Giants are waiving quarterback Davis Webb on Sunday, according to a source. It's a surprising move, as the third-round pick in 2017 had been playing well in training camp and the preseason. Rookie Kyle Lauletta and Alex Tanney will serve as Eli Manning's backups entering the 2018 season.
Raiders Release Connor Cook, EJ Manuel
The Oakland Raiders released quarterbacks Connor Cook and EJ Manuel after they traded for AJ McCarron.

McCarron was fighting for a starting job in Buffalo but was injured in the preseason and lost out to rookie […]
Brock Osweiler, David Fales Both Make Dolphins 53-Man Roster
Miami Dolphins quarterbacks Brock Osweiler and David Fales have both found a spot on the 53- man roster, but head coach Adam Gase hasn't said which player is the true backup to Ryan Tannehill. After missing the entire 2017 season with a knee injury, Tannehill's health is still a concern, which is likely why Osweiler […]
Kevin Hogan Claimed On Waivers, Paxton Lynch Released
The Denver Broncos cut former first-round quarterback Paxton Lynch on Sunday after claiming quarterback Kevin Hogan off waivers from the Redskins. Lynch had been a first-round bust for the Broncos and fell to third on the depth chart in training camp behind Case Keenum and Chad Kelly. Lynch was 1-3 and went 79-for-128 for 792 […]
Ravens Decide To Keep Robert Griffin III
In a surprising roster cut-down day move, the Baltimore Ravens have decided to keep quarterback Robert Griffin III and head into the season with three quarterbacks on their roster. It was rumored that the Ravens had fielded some interest in Griffin on the trade market, but clearly there was not enough to garner a move […]
Le'Raven Clark Gives The Offensive Line Depth
The offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts has been a major weak point in past seasons. This was due to below-average starters, along with poor depth. While Le'Raven Clark has struggled in the past couple of years, he represents a veteran backup along the offensive line. After adding guard Quenton Nelson and others, they won't […]

If there's one thing I am very good at it's making bold predictions, although I'm not as good at the whole "having those predictions come true" part. I've got five bold predictions for you today. Will […]
Philip Rivers (QB, LAC) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Value
BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers had his most efficient season in years, posting his best adjusted net yards per attempt since 2013.

Injury Spin - Five Quarterbacks to Avoid
Quarterback is the most important position on the football field and a critical one in fantasy as well.

Inside Injuries predicts the impact of injuries on player performance by using data analytics, […]
Bills Committed To Youth Movement
With the latest roster cuts to the quarterback and wide receiver positions, it seems to be clear on what direction the Buffalo Bills are going this year. This will be a roster chalk full of mostly young inexperienced players. Before the release of quarterback AJ McCarron and wide receiver Corey Coleman, the Bills were already thought to […]
Raiders Trade For Quarterback AJ McCarron
The Oakland Raiders have traded for quarterback AJ McCarron of the Buffalo Bills. McCarron was traded from the Bengals to the Bills in the offseason, but with the Bills drafting Josh Allen, McCarron was on his way out. McCarron will likely be the backup, in what is now a crowded position. EJ Manuel and Connor […]
Kurt Benkert Released By Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons released quarterback Kurt Benkert during their roster cut down on Saturday. Benkert had every opportunity to push for a roster spot as the Falcons third QB. However, Benkert has managed to play himself out of a roster spot this preseason. Benkert's numbers from the four preseason games were 28 completions on 64 […]
Pat Elflein Activated Off Of PUP List
Minnesota Vikings starting center Pat Elflein (ankle, shoulder) was activated off of the PUP list on Saturday morning. He is expected to be at practice Sunday, but he will still be unavailable for Week 1 of the regular season. Regardless, this is a massive step in the right direction for a Vikings o-line that has […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback
Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Drew […]
Injury Spin - Five Quarterbacks To Target
One of the most important decisions fantasy players must make during a draft is when to go after a quarterback. Going after one early usually doesn’t make that much sense. There isn’t a huge drop off between the top guys like Aaron Rodgers and mid-tier guys listed below, and they come at a much lower […]
Connor Cook Underwhelms In Final Preseason Game
Oakland Raiders quarterback Connor Cook ended the preseason on a low note Thursday versus the Seahawks. Cook ended with only 35 yards and one touchdown from three completions. He didn't see a ton of playing time, simply for the fact that the Raiders other quarterback, EJ Manuel, was playing so well and put up three […]
Buccaneers Not Committing to Jameis Winston
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is not guaranteed the starting role upon his return from suspension. Winston violated the league's personal conduct policy back in 2016 and will serve a three-game suspension to start the season. Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to open the season as the starter and he may continue to start if the team […]
EJ Manuel Shines In Preseason Finale
Oakland Raiders quarterback EJ Manuel posted a fantastic stat line versus the Seahawks Thursday night. He ended with 255 yards and three touchdowns, while only missing four passes.

Lions Backup Quarterback Still A Major Question
Detroit Lions quarterback Jake Rudock started the final preseason game Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns. He finished 14 of 24 for 114 yards and a touchdown. His first four drives resulted in a punt, leading the team to insert Matt Cassel into the game. Cassel then tossed an interception that was returned for a […]
Mike Glennon Makes Roster As Third QB
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon will remain on the 53-man roster as the third quarterback behind Sam Bradford and rookie Josh Rosen, according to sources. Glennon was a potential trade candidate, but the Cardinals would rather have him as insurance behind the injury-prone Bradford and the rookie Rosen. Glennon was a […]
Paxton Lynch On Outside Looking In
Despite playing his best preseason game on Thursday against the Cardinals, Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch is on the outside looking in as the No. 3 QB behind Chad Kelly and Case Keenum. The former-first round pick is a candidate to be cut, but a team could also elect to trade for him if they […]
Joshua Dobbs Shines In Preseason Finale
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs boosted his trade value in the preseason finale against the Panthers on Thursday. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported that Dobbs is one of the quarterbacks that has "generated interest" around the league, and he could be dealt in the next 24 hours.
