Frank Reich Not Considered To Be On Hot Seat

On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts made the surprising move to bench quarterback Matt Ryan. The 37-year-old is reportedly dealing with an injury, but it doesn't sound like they pulled him because of that. The team named second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger the starter for the remainder of the season. That news led many to believe head […]

Every week, I typically start off talking about byes or some injuries and how there are more pivot options than ever.

Sam Ehlinger Not An Ideal Streaming Option

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger will be making his first career start against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The 24-year-old has been named the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. It's surprising that the Colts have that much faith in the former sixth round pick.

Davis Mills Has Deep Fantasy Appeal Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills hasn't had a great season, but he's got a chance to post solid numbers on Sunday against a Titans team that ranks 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game. That might not end up mattering since the Texans offense has often relied on its run game this […]

Keep Justin Fields Benched Versus Potent Cowboys D

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields hasn't had the breakout season most were expecting.

Taylor Heinicke A Low-End QB2 In Week 8

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke will be taking on the Indianapolis Colts for his second start of the season in Week 8.

Jared Goff Is Boom-Or-Bust In Week 8

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff exploded in fantasy football to begin the season, but after two straight games without a touchdown, he's back to a boom-or-bust play. The Lions face the Miami Dolphins, who struggle mightily against quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends, so Goff could be in for a huge bounce-back performance. D'Andre Swift […]

PJ Walker A Low-End QB2 In Soft Matchup

Carolina Panthers quarterback PJ Walker is set to start for a second consecutive game, this time against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. Walker threw for two touchdown passes last week and should be able to find success facing an Atlanta defense that is allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Even […]

Malik Willis Could Start Against Texans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis will make his first NFL start against the Houston Texans if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) has to miss the game. Tannehill is officially questionable, so Willis is worth picking up in two-quarterback/superflex leagues ahead of Sunday.
