New York Jets quarterback Josh Johnson stepped up and delivered against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9.

Vikings Put Garrett Bradbury On COVID-19 List

The Minnesota Vikings placed center Garrett Bradbury on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Bradbury will miss the first game of his three-year career this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. A starter since being a first-round pick in 2019, the loss of Bradbury shouldn't go unnoticed for Minnesota's offensive line against a capable Ravens defense coming […]

Ryan Tannehill - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will lead the offense without star running back Derrick Henry in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Titans lost Henry for 6-10 weeks due to a foot injury. Tannehill will have the daunting task of facing a loaded Rams defense that recently required star linebacker, Von Miller. The […]

Justin Herbert Practices In Full Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) practiced in full on Thursday after being a limited participant on Wednesday. Running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) missed his second day of practice and is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Herbert should be available this weekend and is looking to […]

No Practice Again For Matthew Stafford

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) missed his second practice of the week on Thursday. Stafford's back injury doesn't seem to be serious, but two missed practices in a row should have some fantasy managers concerned with whether he'll play in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday night. The 33-year-old has been […]

Mike White - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets quarterback Mike White joined Cam Newton as the second signal-caller since 1950 to throw for 400-plus yards in his NFL debut. His 37 completions in a Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals were the most by a quarterback in his first start. Can he build off his incredible start against the […]

Packers Officially Sign Blake Bortles

The Green Bay Packers officially signed quarterback Blake Bortles to their practice squad on Thursday with Aaron Rodgers ruled out for Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs after testing positive for COVID-19.

Derek Carr - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr looks to come out of his team's bye week well-rested for a Week 9 matchup against the host New York Giants. The 30-year-old signal-caller is coming off his strongest showing of the season as he completed 31-of-34 passes for 323 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a […]

Taysom Hill Practices In Full Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, an upgrade from his limited session a day ago.

Dak Prescott Expects To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) said he's had two great practices this week and that it's "safe to say" that he will play in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Jalen Hurts - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has a wide range of possible outcomes in a Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense is easily exploitable in the ground game but tough in the passing game, so we're sure to see plenty of the Eagles running the ball in this one. Combine that […]

Justin Fields - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will go on the road to face a tough Steelers defense Monday night in Week 9. The rookie is coming off one of his most promising performances, electrifying the home crowd with 175 passing yards, one passing touchdown with 103 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in a loss to […]

Sam Darnold Limited Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) was a limited participant once again at practice Thursday.

While […]

Matt Ryan - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan draws a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Saints.

The veteran signal-caller is talented enough to succeed in […]

Tyron Smith Not Expected To Play Against Broncos

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) is not expected to play in the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

Tyrod Taylor Named The Starter For Week 9

The Houston Texans have named quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) as their starter for the Week 9 game against the Miami Dolphins.

Kyler Murray Not Spotted At The Open Portion Of Practice

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was not at the open portion of practice for the second day in a row. Earlier this week, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he was comfortable with Murray starting without suiting up for any practices, and the reports are that Murray was likely to play on Sunday. However, anybody […]

Dak Prescott - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) is back at practice and expected to make the start for a Week 9 contest against the Denver Broncos.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Football. The game doesn't add up. Sometimes all stats point to one team dominating but just the opposite happens.
