NFL Preseason Week 3 Review - Fantasy Impact

Week 3 of the NFL preseason is typically a dress rehearsal for teams and we get the best idea yet of how players will be used. While some NFL teams still chose to rest their starters, many inexplicably didn't. Unfortunately, we also had a major injury with Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee going down for the […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Kyle Richardson

I love bold predictions. I have always had two schools of thought on this. Bold predictions could happen. A long-shot, sure, but still possible. Hot takes are even more unlikely to happen. While you are reading this article, keep in mind these predictions probably won’t come true, but there is an outside chance they could […]

Lucky Fantasy Players! Why are you lucky? Because it's draft time. Is there a better time of the season? It's like Friday night with the whole weekend ahead of us. Or the first day of an amazing vacation. And most of you will screw it up. Let me guess, you're going to draft best value […]

Joshua Dobbs, Landry Jones Receiving Trade Interest

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Joshua Dobbs and Landry Jones have garnered trade interest from some teams, according to sources. Jones doesn't have much experience, however. Dobbs will start the final preseason game with the Steelers still evaluating him. Rookie quarterback Mason Rudolph is a lock for the roster and might serve as the direct backup to […]

Tales From the Turn - Managing Snake Drafts With a Late Pick

I did a few mocks recently in preparation for a long-running league I won last season. 10 teams, ESPN standard scoring; nothing fancy just a group of buddies who started it to find more reasons to watch football together. The casual nature of the league has extended itself to the draft prep process, especially since […]

Teddy Bridgewater Traded To Saints

New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been traded to the New Orleans Saints. Compensation has not been released yet but the move signals developments for the future and the present for both teams. The future is that the Saints may have just acquired their quarterback of the future for whenever the 39-year-old Drew Brees […]

Jeff Driskel Leading Backup Competition

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel appears to be the leader to become Andy Dalton's backup in 2018. That makes Matt Barkley a cut candidate this weekend. Barkley last played with the Bears in 2016 but was a disaster in seven games and was benched. The 27-year-old could latch on with another team if he's cut.

Cardale Jones Has Lost Backup Battle

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones has lost his backup battle with Geno Smith and is now in danger of being cut when rosters are trimmed to 53 players this Saturday. The former Buffalo Bill played in one game in 2016 and completed six of his 11 attempts with an interception. That's the extent of […]

Brock Osweiler A Cut Candidate

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler is a slight underdog to David Fales for the backup role. He's a candidate to be cut when rosters are trimmed to 53 players on Saturday. Osweiler has flamed out in Houston, Cleveland and now possibly Miami. His career is running on fumes at this point.

Aaron Rodgers Finalizes Extension to Remain with Packers

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have finalized a deal that will extend Rodgers’ contract. It is expected that the deal will be completed this weekend. The four year extension is worth $134 million and will carry an average annual value of $33.5 million. The contract has over $100 million in guaranteed money. Rodgers was […]

Trent Brown Secures Left Tackle Job In New England

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown has quietly secured the team's left tackle job to protect quarterback Tom Brady in 2018. Brown was acquired from the 49ers in a mid-draft trade. The job was clinched for Brown when first-round rookie Isaiah Wynn tore his Achilles on Aug. 16. Brown, a former seventh-round pick, started […]

Packers Plan To Keep DeShone Kizer, Tim Boyle

After the trade of quarterback Brett Hundley to the Seahawks, the Green Bay Packers plan on keeping both Deshone Kizer and Tim Boyle as backups to Aaron Rodgers on the 53-man roster, according to a source. Kizer struggled mightily in his rookie year and was thrown into the fire before he was ready on an […]

Sam Bradford To Be Held Out Of Preseason Finale

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will likely be held out of the team's preseason finale on Thursday, along with wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and running back David Johnson. Bradford is going to be the team's starting quarterback heading into the season, making him a good QB2 option for the year in an offense that should […]

Jared Goff Will Not Play In Preseason Finale

For the last few weeks, there was some debate whether Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff would play in the preseason. It's become clear that he will not, as both he and backup Sean Mannion will be resting this weekend. Goff will be playing in Week 1 alongside superstar running back Todd Gurley. Goff has […]

Brett Hundley Traded to Seattle

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Hundley has been traded to the Seattle Seahawks. He was traded for a 2019 draft pick. Hundley had an impressive preseason throwing for 263 yards with a 62.2 completion percentage despite very poor protection from the offensive line. Hundley fills a need for Seattle who needed […]

Zack Martin Back at Practice on Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin (knee) was back at practice on Tuesday. Martin assured everyone he would be ready for Week 1, and his presence at Tuesday's practice more or less confirms that, assuming no further setbacks. With Travis Frederick (illness) possibly out for an extended period, Martin's return is a huge benefit for […]

Andrew Luck Will Return To Practice Monday

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Andrew Luck (foot) will return to practice on Monday. Reich said Luck is feeling strong and good, and the team doesn't anticipate restricting Luck in regular season practices. After missing all of last year with a shoulder injury, any injury to Luck seems more serious than […]

Josh Rosen Throwing Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (thumb) did some throwing in practice on Tuesday. Rosen's injury obviously isn't serious at all. He'll open the season as the backup to Sam Bradford, but Rosen should be making starts at some point in 2018. He's not much of a redraft option, but Rosen is a fine pick […]

Paxton Lynch Could Soon Be Gone

Denver Broncos quarterback Chad Kelly's play in training camp may force the team's hand to keep him as a developmental prospect on the active roster behind starter Case Keenum. The Broncos have given Paxton Lynch, a former first-rounder, plenty of chances, but he continues to struggle and finds himself third on the depth chart. Signing […]

Decision On Carson Wentz Could Come Friday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said he's likely to make a decision on quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) on Friday. The Eagles still do not know if Wentz will be able to start in Week 1, and we probably won't know for sure until this weekend. Wentz has top-five upside at his position, but his […]

Take A Hike - Drafting An Elite Quarterback

The popular sentiment these days is to wait on quarterbacks and draft them late so you can load up on position players first. While this can work in many cases, let’s look at the other angle and ponder taking a quarterback earlier in the draft. While this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Jason Katz

In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]

Josh Rosen's Status Up In Air For Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (thumb) is uncertain for Thursday's preseason finale against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Steve Wilks said he is still mulling over whether or not the rookie will play. "Health is one, and also his ability to make sure he keeps his timing," Wilks said. "We want to make sure he […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well in Saturday's Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played well in Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Mahomes was 18-for-24 with 196 yards and one touchdown on Saturday. The reports out of Chiefs camp were that Mahomes has struggled with interceptions, but he seemed fine against Chicago. Mahomes did not throw any interceptions in the loss […]

T.J. Lang Returns To Practice

Detroit Lions right guard T.J. Lang returned for his first practice in several weeks. Head coach Matt Patricia has been very tight lipped about injuries this preseason, so it is unclear what exactly kept Lang out for so long, including the team's first three preseason games. However, just last week, Lang mentioned that if it […]

Nathan Peterman More Than Adequate In Second Half

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman got the call with one minute to go in the second quarter of the Bills 26-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He came into the game to replace starter Josh Allen, who exited the game to be checked for a possible concussion. Allen was cleared to return, but […]
