Andrew Luck Looks Shaky Against Baltimore
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed six of his 13 pass attempts for 50 yards and an interception against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 of the preseason. Luck continued his trend of throwing the ball short from the Colts first preseason game and added a costly interception in the red zone in what was […]
AJ McCarron Does Not Have Hairline Fracture
Buffalo Bills quarterback AJ McCarron (collarbone) received good news Monday when it was revealed he does not have a hairline fracture of the collarbone. He is now considered day to day and will return to the practice field once the soreness decreases, although he is in considerable pain and it's uncertain when that return will […]
Josh Allen To Start Third Preseason Game
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will start the third preseason game on Sunday night when the Cincinnati Bengals pay a visit to New Era Field in Orchard Park, a source said Monday. The rookie gets the nod over Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron (collarbone). It's not necessarily a lock that Allen ends up being the […]
Taylor Decker Says Lions Offensive Line Will Be Better
The Detroit Lions first-team offensive line allowed four sacks, six quarterback hits and nine hurries on Friday against the New York Giants. The Lions were missing starting right guard T.J. Lang. However, tackle Taylor Decker believes there will be improvement. "Week to week you can always try to improve upon little things and I think […]
T.J. Lang Sits Out Practice Again
Detroit Lions right guard T.J. Lang missed another practice on Monday afternoon. Lang has now missed out on practice for over a week, including missing the Lions preseason game against the New York Giants on Friday. While his current injury is unknown, Lang has a recent history of injuries after missing three games in 2017 […]
Josh Allen's Time Appears to be Now
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on the cusp of taking center stage with the recent injury to fellow teammate and now injured player AJ McCarron. Second-year player Nathan Peterman, at this point, is the only other player that is in the mix to call plays for the Bills. The free-agent pool for quarterbacks is very unimpressive, […]
Philip Rivers Looks Ready For The Regular Season
Los Angeles Chargers starting quarterback Philip Rivers hit the field for the first time in the team's second preseason game, and he looked like he's ready to rock. Rivers went 6-for-7 in his single series and looked like he had no problem manhandling the Seattle defense. Rivers has shown no signs of slowing down with […]
Geno Smith Widens The Gap For Backup Job
Last week, Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Geno Smith took advantage of the team's first preseason game to establish that he was more polished than competitor Cardale Jones. In Week 2 of the preseason, Smith widened that gap. Smith went 6-for-8 for 85 yards including a beautiful jump-ball touchdown to wide receiver Mike Williams while […]
Russell Wilson Goes Deep Often Against Chargers
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson looked confident and comfortable in the pocket in the second preseason game against Los Angeles. Wilson regularly looked deep and connected on one huge 52-yard bomb to David Moore in the second quarter. Wilson finished his night 13-for-21 for 193 yards, but many of his misses were deep balls where […]

Keep/Trade/Cut - Late-Round QB
If you follow me on Twitter (@krich1532), you know I love to play the game Keep/Trade/Cut. We pick three players with an average draft position (ADP) in the same range and we determine what we will do with these players if we owned them in a league. This is a great exercise to start a […]
Jameis Winston Impressive Saturday
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put up a fantastic stat-line against Tennessee on Saturday. Winston went 13-for-18 with 226 yards and two touchdowns. However, it should be noted that he did not start this game. This is likely due to the fact that he is suspended for the first three regular season games of this season […]
AJ McCarron Going For Second Opinion
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said quarterback AJ McCarron (shoulder) is going for a second opinion, as tests on his broken collarbone were "not totally conclusive." McCarron was injured in the team's second preseason game last week. While he might not have to miss as much time depending on the tests, his injury gives […]
Nick Foles To Practice Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (shoulder) is fine and will return to practice on Sunday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Foles was injured in the preseason game last week, but it obviously didn't keep him out for long. With Carson Wentz (knee) questionable for Week 1, Foles is a huge security blanket for the […]
Sam Darnold Likely To Start This Week
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold received the bulk of the repetitions at practice on Sunday and is the likely starter for the third preseason game this week. Barring a bad performance this week, ESPN New York's Rich Cimini gets the impression that Darnold is the leading candidate to start in Week 1. Darnold […]
Seahawks Tried To Trade For Jacoby Brissett
The Seattle Seahawks attempted to trade for Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett and offered a second-round pick, which the Colts declined. Owner Jim Irsay said early this month that the team wouldn't be parting with Brissett. Colts starter Andrew Luck looks to be close to full healthy after missing all of last year with […]
Case Keenum Looks Better Saturday
After going 1-for-4 for 25 yards in the Denver Broncos preseason opener, quarterback Case Keenum looked much better in Denver's 23-24 Week 2 loss to the Bears. Going 8-for-13 and putting up 78 yards, Keenum led the offense on two scoring drives and while inaccurate at times, he looks to be gaining confidence in the offense […]
Deshaun Watson Looks Great In Second Preseason Game
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed five out of eight passes for 79 yards and scored one touchdown with no interceptions in his second preseason game. Watson ended the game with a 131.8 passer rating as he led the Texans on their first scoring drive of the night. Watson looked sharp and seemed to be […]

Connor Cook Looks Average In Preseason Game Versus Rams
Oakland Raiders quarterback Connor Cook looked very pedestrian in Saturday's game against the Rams. Cook finished with no touchdowns and only 49 yards on 6 of 12 passing. Cook looked very strong in their first preseason game against the Lions, with 141 yards and one touchdown, but struggled in practice this week. He is likely […]
EJ Manuel Tosses One Touchdown In Preseason Loss
Oakland Raiders quarterback EJ Manuel finished Saturday's game versus the Rams with one touchdown and 86 yards on 10 of 16 passing. Manuel was the Raiders' backup quarterback last season and is looking to lock down his role this year, as third-string quarterback Connor Cook is putting pressure on him. Manuel was able to lead […]
Zack Martin Injures His Knee; Will Have MRI on Sunday
Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin was forced to exit Saturday's preseason game after being hit in the knee by a helmet. He was unable to return to the game, but was reportedly walking okay on the sidelines. He'll undergo an MRI on Sunday, and the team will know more about the severity of his […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Has Solid Performance Saturday
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went 10-for-12 for 136 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Garoppolo engineered a 78-yard opening drive that ended with a two-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Trent Taylor. Despite the one interception on a tipped ball that could have been caught by wide receiver Dante Pettis, Garoppolo impressed […]
Todd Gurley And Jared Goff Could Start Slow
If you're hoping for Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley and quarterback Jared Goff to carry your fantasy team at the start of the season, you might have to have a backup plan. Head coach Sean McVay hinted that neither of the two may play in the preseason. Presumably, this is to prevent them […]
Dak Prescott Throws a Touchdown on Saturday
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 10 of 15 passes on Saturday, totaling 86 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was a six-yard strike to Terrance Williams in the second quarter. Prescott looked fine in this one, but did nothing particularly eye-popping. While he certainly struggled in the second half of last season, Prescott seems […]
Marcus Mariota Plays Well In Limited Action
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota only played two offensive series in Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he was effective, delivering four of seven passes for 80 yards and a touchdown. Mariota has now thrown two touchdowns in just three preseason series, indicating that he may be in store for some positive regression […]
Blake Bortles Inconsistent Against Vikings
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles played the entire first half in Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with 159 yards on 12-for-20 passing with an interception. Bortles also scrambled for 14 yards on a third and long play. The Jaguars signal caller had some impressive moments, but the overthrows and the missed opportunities […]
Jared Goff Should See Playing Time On Saturday
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play in the preseason opener against the Ravens. Quarterback Brandon Allen finished 10-for-15 for 73 yards and one touchdown, while Sean Mannion went 3-for-13 with 16 yards and one interception. There is no quarterback controversy for the Rams. Goff is going to be the starter, but the […]
Kirk Cousins Invisible on Saturday Afternoon
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins symbolized the entire first-team offense with his performance on Saturday. It was a sloppy offensive quarter which saw Cousins throw for 12 yards on 3-for-8 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. To be fair to Cousins, the offensive line was atrocious as regular starters Mike Remmers, Rashod Hill and Pat […]
Josh Allen Not A Lock For Starting Job
ESPN.com's Mike Rodak believes it's too early to consider Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen a "lock" to start in Week 1 now that AJ McCarron (shoulder) is out with a broken collarbone. The call still comes down to head coach Sean McDermott, who has a high opinion of Nathan Peterman. Peterman had a solid […]
