Trevor Lawrence Looks To Start Hot Against Divisional Rival Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars Quarterback Trevor Lawrence enjoyed a resurgent second season in 2022, finishing as the QB8 after a disastrous rookie year. With Doug Pederson running the show and the addition of Christian Kirk and Travis Etienne to the offense, Lawrence was better positioned for success and showed why he was taken as the No. 1 overall pick in 2021. Expectations are […]

Is Joe Burrow Playing In Week 1? Fantasy Football Injury Update

At first glance, Joe Burrow’s injury during a practice session last July didn’t look good. He injured his calf without absorbing contact from a defensive player. The top overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft started to limp before being carted away. Since then, several stories have surfaced regarding Burrow’s condition. His teammate since college, […]

Brock Purdy Looks To Continue Winning Ways In Season Opener

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to continue his undefeated streak as a starter at the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. In 2022 Purdy rattled off seven straight wins when then-starter Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a foot injury. This year he figures to be a better real-life quarterback than in fantasy, where his […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr will don the Saints' uniform for the first time in regular season action on Sunday as the Tennessee Titans come to town.

"I can still play," he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "When people are really pressed to win some games, if they have to call on somebody, then they'd be more […]

Ryan Tannehill Not An Attractive Option Against Saints

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has enjoyed fantasy football success in the past but posted his worst season as the team's starter in 2022. In 2023, he'll open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints, who were a top-12 defense against fantasy quarterbacks last year. The Titans passing offense could exceed expectations […]

Daniel Jones A Potential Bust Candidate Against Dallas

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will begin the 2023 season facing off against a familiar foe. The Dallas Cowboys' opportunistic defense limited Jones to a 56.9 percent completion percentage, 424 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in two games last season. The 26-year-old does rely on his legs to boost his fantasy football numbers. […]

Jared Goff Throws For 253 Yards In Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 22 of his 35 passing attempts for one touchdown and zero interceptions in the 21-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Since Goff doesn't do damage as a runner, he needs multi-touchdown games to pay off in fantasy football. That said, he turned out not to be a great […]

Joshua Dobbs Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs is looking to make his mark while the Cardinals await Kyler Murray's (knee) return. His first task will be leading Arizona over the Washington Commanders in Week 1, which will be challenging. Last year, Washington finished ninth in total DVOA and registered the 12th most sacks in the league. The Commanders also bolstered […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Top-12 Upside Thanks To Receivers, Matchup

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 1. He's taking on a Los Angeles Chargers secondary that produced a 74.6 PFF grade last season and ranks 14th in the NFL (per PFF) heading into 2023. The unit isn't bad, but it's certainly not strong enough to consider sitting Tagovailoa […]

Jalen Hurts A Top Tier Option In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will open the regular season on the road against the New England Patriots this Sunday. The 25-year-old finished as the QB1 in fantasy points scored per game last season and has a solid matchup in Week 1 of 2023. New England was middle of the pack regarding points allowed to […]

Baker Mayfield Has Favorable Matchup In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is set to make his team debut against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The former No. 1 overall pick has experienced some highs and lows early in his career. The hope is that a change of scenery will help Mayfield get back on track. The good news is that […]

Kenny Pickett Draws Tough Matchup In Season Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will open his second professional season in a Week 1 home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Pickett showed signs of great improvement throughout the preseason but will have his work cut out for him against a stout 49ers defense that allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in […]

Joe Burrow Becomes Highest-Paid Player

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has agreed to a massive extension with the organization on Thursday. The 26-year-old has signed a five-year, $275 million extension that keeps him locked up through 2028. This deal includes a record-breaking $219 million guaranteed, making Burrow the highest paid player in the league. The 26-year-old is already one of […]

Bryce Young A QB3 In Week 1

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will make his NFL debut against the Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 1. Young pulls a decent matchup for the first game of his NFL career as the Falcons allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to enemy signal-callers in 2022. Rookie quarterbacks traditionally don't perform at a […]

C.J. Stroud Set To Make NFL Debut

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft will have his hands full, though, facing a stout Ravens defense on the road. The rookie threw for 89 yards with one touchdown and one interception in eight series over […]

Joe Burrow Logs Another Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) practiced in full on Thursday. The signal-caller injured his calf during training camp, so he's been slowly working his way back. That said, as long as he continues to practice and doesn't suffer any setbacks, he should be out there in Week 1 against the Browns. Burrow has thrown […]

Deshaun Watson A Mid-Range QB2 In Week 1

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will open up his 2023 season with a home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The reports out of this […]

Sam Howell Draws Advantageous Matchup In Week 1

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell should have an easy matchup for his second career regular season start.
