Mac Jones Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 1

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is coming off a disappointing season in 2022 and will look to turn the page in 2023, starting in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones threw for 2,997 yards with 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while rushing for 102 yards and a score over 14 games last season. […]

Desmond Ridder A Solid QB2 Option Against The Panthers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder only played four games as a rookie, averaging 9.7 fantasy points per game. However, the former Cincinnati Bearcat did a good job protecting the ball. He didn't have an interception on 115 pass attempts last season. Now Ridder enters his second NFL season as the clear-cut starter. Yet, the pressure […]

Anthony Richardson Set For Official Debut

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will debut in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Although the signal-caller doesn't have any professional experience, which isn't an ideal fantasy situation, he is coming off a quality year with the Florida Gators, finishing his final collegiate season with 2,549 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and nine picks. He also had […]

Patriots Releasing Matt Corral

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, the Patriots released quarterback Matt Corral on Saturday. The team recently claimed the signal-caller after the Panthers waived him at the end of August. However, he'll now look for work elsewhere, although there's a chance he could land on a practice squad for another club, at the very least. In […]

Bailey Zappe Signed To 53-Man Roster

The Patriots signed quarterback Bailey Zappe back to the 53-man roster. The signal-caller was surprisingly waived on cutdown day but added to the practice squad after clearing waivers. But considering New England is releasing Matt Corral, it appears Zappe is now the permanent backup. The last move also means there's still a chance Zappe could […]
