Daniel Jones - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has thrown for multiple touchdowns twice over eight games in 2021. He's been mediocre this season, throwing for 1.949 yards and a 7:5 TD: INT ratio while rushing for 241 yards and two scores. The 24-year-old completed 22-of-32 passes for 222 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Monday's […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (finger, ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He missed Weeks 3 through 5 with fractured ribs and is now dealing with a left finger injury. The 23-year-old was limited on Wednesday but is expected to be all systems go against the Houston Texans in Week 9. Tagovailoa has […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will take on a familiar foe when he goes up against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 9. Mayfield will most likely be playing without Odell Beckham Jr., who is away from the team and may have played his last game in a Cleveland uniform after his father […]

Packers Expected To Sign Blake Bortles

Veteran quarterback Blake Bortles flew to Green Bay on Wednesday with the expectation that he will sign with the Packers practice squad and be eligible for the 53-man roster this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. Earlier in the day on Wednesday, it was announced that Aaron Rodgers tested positive for […]

Matthew Stafford Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday due to a back injury. It sounds as though the Rams are just taking it easy on Stafford and most of the veterans on the team early in the week leading up to a Week 9 date against the […]

Taysom Hill Limited At Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Hill suffered a concussion in Week 5 and has missed the team's last two games, but he's on track to return in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons and figures to take over under center after Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a […]

Trevor Siemian - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New Orleans Saints lost their starting quarterback Jameis Winston for the season to a torn ACL in Week 8. Now, they must move forward with Taysom Hill, Trevor Siemian, or a free agent signing. As of now, there is no indication on who will start in Week 9, but the odds would be in […]

Justin Herbert On The Week 9 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) was listed on the Week 9 injury report with a right hand injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. Running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) is also on the injury report after not practicing. For Herbert, it's an injury that was initially suffered in Week 3, but at […]

Kyler Murray Should Be Fine For Week 9

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and head coach Kliff Kingsbury think he'll be fine to play this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, even if he doesn't practice at all during the week. Murray said his left ankle feels "good" despite not practicing on Wednesday. "I think I'll be good to go on Sunday […]

Sam Darnold Extremely Limited At Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold was reportedly "extremely limited" at practice on Wednesday as he tries to return from a concussion. Darnold still has time to recover, but this would make it highly unlikely that he suits up on Sunday against the Patriots. That means P.J. Walker would be given the start in against a […]

Dak Prescott Back To Normal Practice

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) was back to a normal workload in practice on Wednesday after missing Sunday night's win over the Vikings. It was thought that the Cowboys were just being cautious with their franchise quarterback when they held him out last week, and this would back that up. Prescott's return is great […]

The NFL Trade Deadline is almost here, so many players who wouldn't otherwise have fantasy relevance may jump up in value. I won't list every possible player below but RBs like Marlon Mack, Ronald Jones, Ty'Son Williams, Salvon Ahmed, and Trey Sermon should be monitored closely up until the deadline. The coming week also returns […]

Michael Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Taysom Hill, Derrick Gore, Jeremy McNichols, Adrian Peterson

The trade deadline is now behind us. The roster shakeups may be complete for NFL teams (barring any signings), but it never stops for our fantasy football teams. The grind never stops -- especially for those in deeper leagues who typically are upset when reading waiver wire articles, because many of the players listed in […]

The Cut List – Who To Drop for Week 9?

I feel the need to come clean on two players who have finally made my cut list – and one of them comes with an asterisk. I have been hesitant to include Odell Beckham Jr. or Allen Robinson on the Cut List despite their extremely poor play and I think I need to explain why. When […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9: Derek Carr, Carson Wentz, Tua Tagovailoa, Mike White

Week 8 was a breath of fresh air after the onslaught of teams on bye in Week 7. Only two teams were missing from action in Week 8, although they did feature two strong fantasy producers in Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert. Unfortunately, a bigger slate of games didn’t necessarily mean offensive fireworks in Week […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday. Murray tweaked his ankle at the end of last Thursday's loss to the Green Bay Packers, and head coach Kliff Kingsbury described the signal-caller as day-to-day heading into a Week 9 game against the San […]

Aaron Rodgers Has COVID-19, Won't Play In Week 9

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to sources. Rodgers could also be at risk of missing the Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks since he's unvaccinated. Since he's unvaccinated, he'll be required to complete a 10-day quarantine […]

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) started throwing on Tuesday. On Monday, he had the pin removed from his surgically repaired finger and began tossing the football on Tuesday. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 9, and the team will have a chance to evaluate the quarterback during practice this week. Wilson spent three […]
