Sam Howell A Low-End QB2 If He Starts In Week 17

Even with his mediocre play, Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell could have another chance to start this week. Due to starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) being questionable for Week 17, Washington may have to turn back to their former starter against the San Francisco 49ers. Howell has struggled mightily as of late, and the matchup […]

Will Levis Expected To Start On Sunday

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is expected to start for the team in Week 17's contest versus the Texans on the road in Houston on Sunday.

Mason Rudolph Officially Named Week 17 Starter

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin officially named Mason Rudolph the starting quarterback for Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Jacoby Brissett Questionable For Week 17

Washington Commanders quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) was limited in Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury and is now questionable to play in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Brissett took over for an ineffective Sam Howell in the Week 16 loss to the New York Jets and was named the starter […]

Justin Fields A Good Option For Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has been a consistently strong fantasy option when healthy, registering at least 20 points in five of his last seven full games.

Zach Wilson Could Play In Week 18

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Friday that the team is taking a wait-and-see approach with quarterback Zach Wilson (concussion) for the Week 18 regular season finale against the New England Patriots. "We'll see where he's at. He will definitely be part of the discussion. We just need to get him […]

Derek Carr Grades As QB2 For Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has churned out his best two fantasy performances of the season over the last two weeks, finishing as the QB7 and QB3 respectively.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session.

That being said, it doesn't seem like the […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited Once Again

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb, quad) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Tagovailoa has been limited during practice. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't panic as this seems more for rest purposes. Tagovailoa should be fine for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy […]

Taylor Heinicke Remains Limited On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Heinicke has been limited in practice. Possibly, the Falcons are just being cautious ahead of their Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears. If Heinicke sits, Desmond Ridder is expected to start under center this […]

Dak Prescott A Strong Week 17 Option

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions.

Easton Stick Not A Week 17 Option Despite A Good Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick had the best game of his career in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills but still won't be much of a fantasy option in Week 17 when the Chargers take on the Denver Broncos. Stick kept the ball safe and did not commit any turnovers in Week 16 and […]

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday for the second straight day.

Kyler Murray In Street Clothes Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (illness) was present during the period of practice open to the media on Thursday, but he was in street clothes and it looks like he still has a "holiday bug" that head coach Jonathan Gannon described on Wednesday. Murray has been under the weather this week, but he should return […]

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will speak with the media on Thursday after practicing for the second straight day.

Jared Goff Has QB1 Outlook In Tough Week 17 Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a mixed bag for fantasy football over the last three weeks. He threw one touchdown in Week 14, five touchdowns in Week 15, and one touchdown in Week 16. The Lions offense is as consistent as any unit in the NFL, but they have the second-most rushing touchdowns […]

Vikings Going With Jaren Hall At Quarterback In Week 17

The Minnesota Vikings are making another change at quarterback and will start rookie Jaren Hall on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17.
