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. While Willis wouldn't likely attempt a ton of passes, he might have a solid floor […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to take advantage of a solid matchup with the Cardinals in Week 8 after Arizona just gave up four passing touchdowns to Saints QB Andy Dalton. The Cardinals have given up the fifth-most passing yards this season, so fantasy managers can value Cousins as a solid QB1 option […]

Ryan Tannehill Questionable Against Texans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is officially questionable for the Titans' Week 8 game against the Houston Texans. Tannehill was banged up in Week 7 and logged limited practices this week, so there's a real chance he could miss this game. If he's out, Malik Willis would make his first career start as a […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 8: Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, Drake London

With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's okay to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward. This may be hard to stomach as you bench your QB1 or RB1 for a free-agent acquisition, but sometimes such measures must be taken to […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Why is scoring down in the NFL? Some have said it's due to better defense, but when you watch the games, it appears it's because of coaching. Jacksonville had a 4th-and-1 against the Giants on Sunday up 17-13 in the fourth quarter and Doug Pederson decides to go for it. Why not take the three […]

Matthew Stafford Faces Division-Rival Niners In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8. The Rams have lost four of their last five games to the Niners, including a 9-24 blowout in Week 4, and Stafford has struggled against the division rivals going back to 2021. Last season, he threw for […]

Daniel Jones A Viable Option In Week 8 Matchup With Seahawks

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is a viable option in Week 8 in a road matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

While the former first-round pick has thrown for […]

Tom Brady Throws For 325 Yards In Loss To Ravens

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 26-of-44 passes for 325 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday.

Despite a disappointing 2-5 start to the season, Denver Broncos general manager George Paton said quarterback Russell Wilson and head coach Nathaniel Hackett have his full support.

Derek Carr Gets In A Full Practice On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. The 31-year-old is dealing with a minor back issue, which limited him on Wednesday.

Dak Prescott Should Be Back On Track In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott should be able to get back on track as a fantasy QB1 in a Week 8 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Prescott looked healthy and solid in his Week 7 return, but he wasn't really given a chance to turn it loose and pile up numbers, as he attempted just […]

Zach Wilson Not A Fantasy Option In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson remains off the fantasy radar for Week 8.
