"Zero Chance" Steve Sarkisian Leaves

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said there is "zero chance" that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian leaves the team to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks next season, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. Sarkisian worked for Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll with USC. Seattle recently fired offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who had been […]

Nick Foles a Mediocre Starting Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is a middling option at best for this week's Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Eagles seem almost certain to run their offense through Jay Ajayi and the running game, so Foles may have limited chances to throw. Foles has been a serviceable backup, but he's struggled in his […]

Biggest Quarterback Busts - 2017 Year in Review

Going into the 2017 season, I implored fantasy strategists in a long article to give up on waiting for quarterback, and instead pick one of the top-five guys in place of a standard third or fourth-round selection.

Case Keenum Has Decent Matchup Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum will take on a Saints defense that allowed the 16th most fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Keenum will have to be at his best against a highly opportunistic New Orleans defense. Including the playoffs, the Saints have been ball hawks lately, racking up nine interceptions over their last […]

Zack Martin Has Surgery on His Elbow

Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin (elbow) had a clean-up procedure done on his right elbow. It will knock him out of the Pro Bowl, but he's fully expected to be ready for the start of the offseason program. Martin was a key part of the Cowboys offensive line and is slated for the same […]

[…]

Blake Bortles Can't Make Mistakes Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will have a tough matchup against a Steelers defense that allowed the ninth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

New Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst To Be Aggressive

Although a lot is still unknown, new Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is expected to be more aggressive toward free agency than his predecessor Ted Thompson. Thompson was remarkably conservative, rarely signing any free agents, and treated the Packers almost like a college team. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers approaching the twilight of his […]

Blake Bortles, Jaguars Play It Safe In Win

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles completed 12 of 23 passes for only 87 yards but added a passing touchdown and 88 rushing yards in the Jaguars 10-3 win over the Bills.

Cam Newton, Panthers Come Up Short

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton completed 24 of 40 passes for 349 yards, including two touchdown passes, in the Panthers 31-26 loss to the Saints. The Panthers offense had some missed opportunities in the first half, but Newton kept coming, highlighted by an excellent 56-yard strike to running back Christian McCaffrey to pull within a […]

Jared Goff Quiet in Loss to Falcons

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff headed into Saturday's contest against the Atlanta Falcons with 3,804 passing yards and 28 touchdowns on the season. He put together an incredible sophomore campaign, but the rookie mistakes are still there. Goff completed 24 of 45 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown in the 26-13 loss to […]

Gutekunst beat […]

Mike Mularkey To Remain As Head Coach

The Tennessee Titans announced Sunday that head coach Mike Mularkey will stick around for the 2018 season. The surprising upset win over the Chiefs on the road in the Wild-Card game on Saturday likely earned Mularkey another season, but he'll need to get more creative with the offense and improve quarterback Marcus Mariota's game overall […]

Marcus Mariota Throws Touchdown To Himself

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota came to play in the team's 22-21 comeback victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for two touchdowns, including one to himself on a tipped pass.
