Jimmy Garoppolo Questionable To Return In Week 4

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) didn't take the field to begin the second half of Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, he remained on the sidelines with a calf injury, opening the door for rookie signal-caller Trey Lance to take over under center. It's unfortunate news, considering the veteran was playing relatively […]

Kirk Cousins Falls Short Against Browns

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 20-of-38 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Vikings 14-7 loss to the Browns. Cousins got the Vikings on the board early with a touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson but it was tough sledding from there. Cousins tried to lead the team down the field […]

Baker Mayfield Throws For 155 Scoreless Yards

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a quiet performance in a 14-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Mayfield completed 15 of 33 passes for 155 scoreless yards while adding 11 rushing yards in the win. Despite attempting the most passes he had all season, Mayfield finished under 200 passing yards for […]

Taylor Heinicke Throws For 290 Yards In Win

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke completed 23-of-33 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns while adding another 43 yards on the ground in the 34-30 win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. Heinicke has the look of a solid streaming option for fantasy managers looking to fill in for upcoming bye weeks or […]

Jared Goff Doomed By Turnovers Against Bears

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 24-of-38 passes for 299 yards, two touchdowns and two fumbles lost in the Lions 24-14 loss to the Bears. It was a rocky first half for Goff as he passed for only 89 yards and committed two costly fumbles. But he was able to heat up in the second […]

Justin Fields Hits Big Plays In The Passing Game

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 11-of-17 passes for 209 yards with one interception in the team's 24-14 victory over the Lions in Week 4. The performance was a promising bounce back effort after a disastrous offensive output against the Browns the week prior. The Bears leaned heavily on the running game and Fields was […]

Dak Prescott Throws Four Touchdowns In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was excellent and efficient in a Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers. Prescott attempted just 22 passes, completing 14 of them for 188 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed four times for 35 more yards on the ground. The Cowboys called 30 running plays for their two running […]

Sam Darnold Rushes For Two Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold went 26-for-39 for 301 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks in Sunday's loss to Dallas. The QB also rushed for 35 yards and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Darnold has now tossed for 300 yards in three straight games and has played an impressive stretch of ball since joining […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Five Touchdowns In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bounced back in a huge way in a Week 4 victory versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Coming off of a two-interception Week 3 performance, Mahomes completed 24 of his 30 passes for 278 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. He also picked up 27 yards on the ground. The […]

Davis Mills Throws Four Interceptions In Ugly Loss

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 87 yards and four interceptions in Sunday's 40-0 blowout loss to the Bills. The 22-year-old rookie was serviceable in his NFL debut on Thursday night last week but completely fell apart against Buffalo's unit, throwing two interceptions in each half, three of which led […]

Jacob Eason Inactive Against Miami

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacob Eason is among the team's inactives as a healthy scratch for Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Brett Hundley was named as the backup to Carson Wentz (ankles) last week against the Tennessee Titans, so it appears as though Hundley has surpassed Eason on the QB depth chart. Wentz sprained both […]

Carson Wentz, Jack Doyle Active In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) and tight end Jack Doyle (back) are both active in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Wentz surprisingly played through two sprained ankles in the Week 3 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he practiced all week, so he was expected to play again this weekend. Still, the Colts […]

Andy Dalton Inactive For Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 4 contest against the Detroit Lions, with Justin Fields set to start and Nick Foles backing Fields up. Head coach Matt Nagy made a comment during the week that the starting role this week was a "game-time decision," though Nagy ended up making […]

Lane Johnson Out For Personal Reasons

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is a surprise inactive due to a personal matter for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chiefs. The veteran tackle's absence likely means Jack Driscoll will step into a bigger role on the Eagles offensive line. The Chiefs will be without some key defenders for this game, so Johnson […]

Texans Still Listening To Trade Offers For Deshaun Watson

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson remains on the trade block, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport notes that the Texans are still open to dealing Watson, who was made a healthy scratch for the fourth time this season ahead of Week 4, with teams continuing to inquire about the star signal-caller.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back), listed as questionable, is expected to play in Week 4 against Denver.
