Derek Carr A QB2 In Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr started the season by posting more than 20 fantasy points in back-to-back games. However, in Weeks 3 and 4 the signal-caller couldn't crack double digits. Carr went 28-for-36 last week, setting new highs in completions and pass attempts in the young season, but he failed to reach 250 passing […]

Caleb Williams A QB2 With Upside Against The Panthers

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams offers a high-risk, high-reward choice as he faces the struggling Carolina Panthers. In Week 5, Williams will encounter the NFL's 19th-ranked pass defense, which allows an average of 209.3 yards per game—an advantageous matchup for him. He's poised to find the end zone against the Panthers, who […]

Andy Dalton In Streaming Consideration On Sunday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton will have low-end streaming appeal in Week 5 when the team takes to the road to face the Chicago Bears. It's been two weeks since the 36-year-old took over for Bryce Young as the Panthers' signal-caller, and the transition has paid off thus far for the team's offensive outlook. Dalton […]

Bo Nix A Low-End QB2 In Divisional Clash Against Raiders

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix will hope to end the franchise's long losing streak in Week 5 on Sunday at home against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.

Trevor Lawrence A Decent Play In Week 5 Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence should be upgraded this week in a great matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.

Deshaun Watson A Sneaky Option In Week 5

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has struggled for a good portion of the 2024 season, throwing for just 727 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions through four games.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday but turned in two full practices on Thursday and Friday and was not on the final injury report heading into Week 5's matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Jayden Daniels Remains Elite QB Despite Tough Matchup

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a high-end QB1 this weekend as he faces the Cleveland Browns. Since losing the first game of the season, the former number-two overall pick has led Washington to three straight victories. During this stretch, Daniels has averaged 24.2 PPR points per game with an average of […]

Tim Boyle Released By Miami

Quarterback Tim Boyle was released by the Miami Dolphins on Friday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 30-year-old operated as the No.3 QB through the early part of the season.

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 5 (Friday Updates): Malik Nabers, Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon, Rashee Rice, Evan Engram, Travis Etienne

Death, taxes, and 0.01 percentile athletes who train their whole lives in a sport that involves crashing into each other at high speeds and getting hurt. That's just how it works. Isaac Newton famously said "Each football tackle has an equal and opposite hit in the other direction" or something like that. Maybe. The strategy […]

Currently, he's the QB3 on the […]

Anthony Richardson Questionable For Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game with an oblique injury. The sophomore quarterback exited last weekend's game early with the same injury and was considered "day-to-day" throughout the week. Richardson logged three straight limited practice sessions this week, which suggests that the injury may not be overly serious […]

Kyler Murray Is A Low-End QB1 In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the passing attack have cooled off a bit after a strong start. In Week 5, the Cardinals will travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers, ranked 11th against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. In last week's loss to the Washington Commanders, Murray struggled, failing to break 200 passing yards and […]

Aaron Rodgers Removed From Injury Report

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
