Deshaun Watson To Remain Starting QB

According to Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Deshaun Watson will remain the team's starter.

Jameis Winston took over near the end of the contest, leading many to […]

Josh Allen Struggles Through The Air Against Houston

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 pass attempts for 131 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans. He added 54 yards on the ground on four carries. The rushing yardage helped salvage a disappointing day that saw the Buffalo offense struggle. Allen nearly hit tight […]

Russell Wilson Inactive For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Cowboys. However, he will be available in case of an emergency. The signal-caller has made progress in his return from a calf injury. But for another week (at least), Justin Fields will remain under center. The 25-year-old got off to a slow […]

Gardner Minshew II Benched On Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II exited Sunday's matchup with the Denver Broncos. The signal-caller had a rough day, throwing for 137 yards and a touchdown off 12-for-17 passing.

Aidan O'Connell Takes Over Under Center In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell has entered Sunday's matchup with the Denver Broncos. Gardner Minshew II didn't have the best showing, throwing for 137 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, so the move was likely related to his performance. This isn't the first time this has happened this season, meaning it's possible Minshew's days […]

Lamar Jackson Leads Ravens To Comeback Win In Overtime

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put together another brilliant performance as he brought the team back from down 10 in the third quarter to a 41-38 win in overtime over the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson had his best passing performance of the season, as he finished with 348 yards and four touchdowns on 26-for-42 throwing. He […]

As has been the issue for much of the season, […]

Jayden Daniels Stays Hot In Fourth Straight Victory

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels went 14-for-25 with 238 yards with a TD and one interception in his fourth consecutive victory. He added 82 yards on the ground on 11 carries. The Commanders were in complete control of this game and did not need to rely on their passing game too often. His score came […]

Texans’ C.J. Stroud Effective In Defeat Of Bills

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a mostly productive day on Sunday against Buffalo, finishing 28-for-38 for 331 yards with one touchdown, one interception, and one fumble in a 23-20 win. Stroud completed passes to eight different receivers and helped set up kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn's 59-yard field goal as time expired with a late completion […]

Tyler Huntley Leads Miami To Second Victory

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 18-of-31 passes for 194 yards and one interception in Sunday's 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. He also rushed three times for seven yards.

Aaron Rodgers Suffers Ankle Sprain In Week 5 Loss

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) completed 29 of his 54 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in a 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5.

Colts Hopeful Anthony Richardson Can Return For Week 6

According to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, the Colts could get quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) back in the lineup for the Week 6 matchup with the Titans. The signal-caller suffered an oblique injury during the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fortunately, Glazer indicated the injury isn't expected to keep him out for long. In […]

Sam Darnold Inefficient With A Disappointing Outing Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold had his worst game in this short season against the New York Jets in Week 5.

Week 5 brings bye weeks into the mix to muck up fantasy football lineups. The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles take their mini-vacation this week.
