Joshua Dobbs A Solid QB2 In Week 5

While the Arizona Cardinals continues to wait on Kyler Murray's (knee) return, quarterback Joshua Dobbs will be looking to continue his reliable play.

Brock Purdy A Fade Against Cowboys

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy faces a tough test against the Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday night.

He also scored another touchdown on a quarterback sneak. Dallas' defense is ranked second in the […]

Joe Burrow Looks To Get Bengals On Track In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) hasn't looked himself this season. Without question, an ailing calf has limited him since training camp. While most fantasy managers had assumed it would only take the signal-caller a game or two to get back on track, he's thrown two touchdowns and two interceptions in the first four games. […]

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a rough go of things against Buffalo but he'll take on the Giants defense in Week 5 with a chance to bounce back.

Anthony Richardson Hoping For Another Strong Outing In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson has been a fantasy football cheat code, and that didn't change in Week 4, when he threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 56 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The main knock on the first-round draft pick was that he would need time to develop […]

Mac Jones Not Worth Starting In Single-QB Leagues

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is not a reliable fantasy starter heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. While the third-year signal-caller flashed potential back in Week 1, he has come down to earth since that. In fact, versus the Cowboys last Sunday, Jones completed just 12 of 21 passes, threw two […]

David Bakhtiari Will Miss Rest Of The Season

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) said he needs another surgery on his knee and will miss the rest of the season.

Trevor Lawrence Not A QB1 Vs. Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence faces a tough test in Week 5, taking on the vaunted Bills defense in London. It's the second straight game across the pond for the Jaguars, having defeated Atlanta 23-7 a week prior. While the Jags were able to easily dispatch the Falcons, Lawrence still had another underwhelming game, making […]

Derek Carr Questionable For Week 5, Expected To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5. However, Saints insider Mike Triplett reports that Carr "seems almost certain to play" after practicing in a limited capacity. It's also worth noting that the veteran quarterback was a game-time decision last week and managed to play. At this rate, […]

Kenny Pickett Will Play Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) was removed from the Week 5 injury report on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's divisional clash versus the Baltimore Ravens. The writing was on the wall for Pickett to suit up this weekend when he returned to a full practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old suffered a […]

Lamar Jackson A QB1 Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is still the best and most consistent fantasy asset to have on this offense. Despite the fact that the Steelers have a solid defense, Jackson has been able to throw the ball efficiently as well as put up some big numbers on the ground. His biggest issue so far this […]

Kenny Pickett Expected To Play Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) is expected to play in Week 5 on Sunday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, but ESPN's Brooke Pryor wonders if he'll be wearing the calf sleeve he's worn the last two days in practice or the knee brace he had on Wednesday. The Steelers could be extra cautious with […]
