Miller has a lot of responsibility […]

Trevor Siemian The Unquestioned Backup

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that quarterback Trevor Siemian is the unquestioned No. 2 behind starter Kirk Cousins. Kyle Sloter, the third-stringer, has had a strong preseason with a passer rating of 111.4 to Siemian's 82.3. However, Sloter has never played in a regular season NFL game, while Siemian has 24 career starts. […]

Andrew Luck Dealing with Foot Injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (foot) is reportedly dealing with a minor foot injury that he suffered on a sack in Week 3 of the preseason against the San Francisco 49ers. Colts head coach Frank Reich noted that the severity of the injury is so small that it is something that Luck would play through […]

Aaron Rodgers Misses Practice with Illness

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (illness) did not practice on Monday on account of an illness. It is not expected to be serious or threaten his ability to start the regular season. Rodgers was highly unlikely to play in this Thursday’s preseason game prior to this. He is even less likely to play now. […]

Denzelle Good Week-To-Week With Knee Injury

The Indianapolis Colts offensive line has left much to be desired for quarterback Andrew Luck's entire career. Right tackle Denzelle Good (knee) is considered week-to-week with his most recent injury in his much-maligned career. While the Colts weren't considered to have a top-end offensive line, Good represents a significant upgrade over the players behind him on […]

Josh Rosen Doesn't Play On Sunday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (hand) was held out of the team's game on Sunday against the Cowboys. Rosen has looked every bit the rookie throughout the preseason - however, he still looks like a good bet to take over from Sam Bradford at some point. Although the injury isn't long-term, don't expect Rosen to […]

Mike Glennon Plays Well Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon (forearm) had the best outing for a Cardinals signal-caller, completing eight of 10 passes for 35 yards. Rookie quarterback Chad Kanoff also had ten pass attempts, but was only able to complete four of them. Finally, Sam Bradford had one completion for six yards on four attempts. It looks as […]

Some of Rotoballer's big dogs are bringing you their bold predictions for the 2018 fantasy football season, and we might as well kick it off with the biggest dog in the yard, right? […]

Teddy Bridgewater - A Path to Start in 2018?

It’s reasonable to be a little bearish on the Teddy Bridgewater’s chances of playing a real NFL snap in 2018. In fact, it’s actually a safe bet. Las Vegas sports books would agree with that assertion, by the way. Of five prominent sports books that provided futures odds on quarterbacks to win the passing yards […]

Josh Allen Roughed Up In Preseason Start

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) completed just six of his 12 pass attempts for 34 yards in his preseason start over the weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was sacked five times, and eventually checked out of the game in the second quarter to be checked for concussion. The rookie checked out and was […]

Drew Brees Makes Preseason Debut Against Chargers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees made his preseason debut against the Chargers, completing 7-of-9 passes for 59 yards and one interception in the Saints third preseason game. The object of the preseason for a player like Brees is to make it through healthy and ignore the results. The 39-year-old is coming off another 4,000-yard […]

Tom Brady Sharp In Third Preseason Game

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 12-of-18 passes for 108 yards in the Patriots 25-14 preseason loss to the Panthers. Brady looked like vintage Brady spreading the ball to several receivers before calling it a night. The third preseason game is typically the dress rehearsal for starters on most teams before the season begins. […]

Andrew Luck Still Lacks Velocity on Throws

Stephen Holder of The Athletic believes that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's (shoulder) "fastball" is not where it needs to be. Though Holder recognized that Luck's accuracy has returned, the Colts offense has noticeably been more focused on getting the football out quickly rather than deep throws. As Luck's shoulder continues to heal, fantasy owners […]

Carson Wentz Not Yet Cleared for Contact

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has not yet been cleared for contact. With Week 1 rapidly approaching, the decision on Wentz may come down to the last minute. If he can't go, Nick Foles would be under center for Week 1, and the Eagles will hope Super Bowl Foles shows up, and not Preseason […]

Josh Rosen May Play Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (hand) may not play against the Cowboys tonight. The rookie sustained a hand injury in Monday's practice and was largely held out of training on Wednesday. Rosen is the backup to Sam Bradford this season and will find it hard to have any meaningful fantasy contributions while Bradford is […]

Sam Bradford Likely To Start Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will likely start tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran signal-caller is expected to be the entrenched starter for the team for the foreseeable future and should play most of the minutes in the team's third preseason game. Bradford should be considered a QB2 for the 2018 season with a […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws for 115 Yards in Preseason Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was 11-for-16 passing with 115 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. Tannehill was one of the few bright spots in a miserable preseason showing from the fins. Coming off a catastrophic knee injury in 2016 Tannehill looks healthy and like vintage Ryan Tannehill. […]

Lamar Jackson Shows Improvement Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson stuffed the stat sheet in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Dolphins. Jackson completed seven of his 10 passes, including one for a score, while adding a rushing touchdown as well.

Kurt Benkert Fails To Impress Saturday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert once again struggled to make an impression in the third preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The fact that […]

Matt Schaub Solid Saturday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub had a solid, if unimpressive, outing Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Schaub threw the least amount of passes of any of the Falcons QBs with just seven. He completed four of those passes for 65 yards and managed to avoid being sacked. Schaub's relative lack of game time is further […]

Matt Ryan Struggles Under Pressure

Jimmy Garoppolo Struggles Against Colts

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed just 9 of 19 passes for 135 yards in Saturday’s preseason tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. He was also fortunate to get away with multiple near interceptions. However, the San Francisco signal-caller didn’t get much help from his supporting cast, as several drops in the contest plagued the […]

Blake Bortles Tosses Pair Of Interceptions

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles went 17-for-23 for 204 yards in Saturday's preseason victory over the Atlanta Falcons, but the fifth-year passer also threw a pair of interceptions, continuing the uneven play that has marked his preseason and has plagued him throughout his NFL career. Bortles is securely set as the Jaguars starting quarterback this […]

Marcus Mariota Struggles Against Steelers

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota struggled to get the passing game going Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mariota passed for only 43 yards and an interception in a little less than a half of play, including a big missed opportunity to Corey Davis down the field. While this was not Mariota's best performance it is […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: Despite the immense pressure to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft into action as soon as possible, Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor has put together two solid preseason performances that all but cement his Week 1 status as the man under center.

Ben Roethlisberger Sharp In Preseason Debut

Deshaun Watson Throws Interception Against Rams

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien hinted during the week that his healthy players would see the field, but Saturday's preseason game against the Rams looked much like the team's other preseason contests, with quarterback Deshaun Watson barely on the field. Watson completed three of his six pass attempts, with one of those incompletions turning […]

Josh Allen Receiving High Praise

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is about to start his first official NFL game. Allen and the Bills draw the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.
