Dak Prescott To Throw On Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team will have a better idea on quarterback Dak Prescott's (thumb) status when he starts throwing in practice on Wednesday.

Should I Pick Up Taysom Hill After His Week 5 Performance? Waiver Wire Outlook

If Buffalo’s Josh Allen was not the most valuable player in fantasy football during Week 5 of the NFL season, then the distinction should go to New Orleans do-it-all wunderkind Taysom Hill. All Hill did was rush for 112 yards and a trio of touchdowns while adding a 22-yard touchdown toss against the defensively-challenged Seattle […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Considering Kenny Pickett is just a rookie – albeit a first-round pick – who just got his first start this past weekend, things have not been that bad for him. Pickett got the field replacing Mitch Trubisky midway through Week 4 against the […]

Commanders vs Bears Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Carson Wentz, David Montgomery, Curtis Samuel, Darnell Mooney, Brian Robinson Jr.

Things I’d rather watch over Thursday Night's game in Week 5: wet paint, dry paint, Sharknado 3D, Thor: The Dark World, and Nathan Peterman vs. Josh Rosen playing Beer Pong. Outside of that, I can pull a Gordon Ramsey on Russell Wilson’s cooking, but there’s no need to beat a dead horse (Broncos pun intended). […]

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 24-of-35 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown in the team's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.
