Steichen, Non-Committal On Anthony Richardson As Week 9 Starter

Per Arye Pulli of the NFL, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen would not commit to Anthony Richardson starting at quarterback in Week 9. "We're evaluating everything," proclaimed Steichen.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, there is optimism around Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's (groin) status for this Sunday, and he is considered day-to-day.

Browns Sticking With Jameis Winston

According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, the Cleveland Browns will continue to roll out quarterback Jameis Winston. Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reported the news.

The fantasy football season keeps marching forward.

Caleb Williams Faces Setback In Week 8 Against Commanders

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams struggled in his game against the Washington Commanders.

Jacoby Brissett stepped in as the […]

Jordan Love Could Miss Week 9 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (groin) was forced to leave their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a groin injury and did not return.
