Geno Smith A QB2 Against Steelers

After missing two starts due to injury, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was back in action in Week 16, completing 25 of 36 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans.

Clayton Tune A Risky Play If Kyler Murray Misses Time

As Week 17 approaches, Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Clayton Tune looms as a potential starter if Kyler Murray is sidelined due to illness.

For fantasy managers deliberating whether to wait for Murray's status or pivot to Tune, the decision hinges on […]

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed nine of 21 passes for 62 yards and zero touchdowns in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brock Purdy With Favorable Matchup In Washington

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to put last week's four-interception performance against Baltimore behind him when the team goes to Washington to take on the Commanders in Week 17.

Gardner Minshew Not A Strong QB1 Option In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew completed 20 of his 37 passes for 201 yards and no touchdowns in the team's Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
