Tom Brady Dices Lions Up For 348 Yards And Four Scores

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 22 of 27 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns in a blowout win over the Lions. Brady was so dominant that he was rested for the entire second half with the Buccaneers comfortably in front. The veteran signal-caller averaged an absurd 12.9 yards per attempt en route […]

Braden Smith Ruled Out For Week 16

Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Steelers after he was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo (ankle) was also downgraded to out. Head coach Frank Reich wouldn't say who would start at the bookends on the offensive line against a Pittsburgh […]

Browns Flight Delayed Due To COVID-19

The Cleveland Browns closed their facility on Saturday and their flight to New Jersey to face the Jets in Week 16 on Sunday has been delayed while contact tracing is being conducted following a positive player test for COVID-19. Fantasy managers that were planning on starting anyone from the Browns or Jets on Sunday should […]

Blaine Gabbert Replaces Tom Brady In Second Half

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert replaced Tom Brady under center to begin the second half of Saturday's game against the Lions with the Bucs already up 34-0 going into the second half. Gabbert promptly hit tight end Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first attempt of the game to put Tampa up […]

Matthew Stafford Injured Saturday, Ruled Out

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (foot) has been downgraded to out after hobbling off early in Saturday's Week 16 game against the Buccaneers. The Lions are down 34 points to begin the second half, so the Lions understandably don't want to risk anything else with Stafford after he came into the game already dealing with […]

Joe Burrow Walking After Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) sent out a 12-second video on Twitter on Friday that showed him walking for the first time since he underwent successful reconstructive knee surgery on Dec. 2. The first overall pick of this year's draft suffered a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 22 against the Washington Football Team. […]

Drew Brees Becomes First QB To 80,000 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees became the first player in NFL history to throw for 80,000 yards in the Week 16 win over the Vikings on Christmas Day on Friday. Brees, the league's all-time career passer, entered the game needing just 154 yards for the record. The future Hall of Famer finished the game […]

Anthony Castonzo Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, which is sure to change the way that the offense operates. It's likely that Quenton Nelson moves over again to protect quarterback Philip Rivers' blindside, although how reticent that will make head coach Frank Reich in dialing up […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Cleared For Saturday’s Contest

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) and kicker Matt Prater (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers by virtue of their absence from the inactive list. Stafford has continued to play through myriad injuries, which makes him something of an unknown from a fantasy […]

Jacksonville Names Mike Glennon Starting QB For Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon is returning to the starting gig for Week 16 against Chicago, taking over for Gardner Minshew II. Glennon re-enters the starting lineup in a difficult fantasy spot, one that is likely more fantasy relevant for fantasy managers with eyes on the Bears Defense. While Glennon looked solid in his first […]

Derek Carr A Low-End QB2 Versus Dolphins

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr does not carry an injury designation heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins, so all signs point to him being the starter. Carr has been playing well this season, but he probably is not the best fantasy option against a stingy Dolphins Defense. The Dolphins defense has […]

New York Tabs Daniel Jones As Starter For Week 16

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) has been given the green light to play in Sunday's contest against the Ravens. Jones re-enters the starting lineup after seeing Colt McCoy hold down starter's duties in two of the previous three games. It sounds as if Jones is far from 100 percent, but his practice […]

Alex Smith Trending Towards Playing Despite Questionable Tag

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was listed as questionable on the team's final injury report, but was able to participate in practice on Friday and is trending towards suiting up against Carolina. Smith missed last week's loss with a calf injury but was playing well before that leading the team to four-straight victories […]

Matt Ryan A QB2 In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a QB2 this week against the Chiefs. Last week, the QB posted 356 yards and three touchdowns and has at least 220 yards passing in the last three games. This contest with the Chiefs could be a shootout, so Ryan is a fine QB2 against a team that is […]

The Value of Tanking - How Much Does the Top Pick Matter?

With all the talk around the Jets winning over the Rams and the Jaguars jumping over them in the draft, it is a good time to actually see if tanking really works. Everyone has a different opinion. Not just on whether it works, but whether you even want your team to do it at all. […]

Drew Brees Throws For 311 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 19-for-26 for 311 yards and two picks in Friday's win over the Vikings. In two games since returning from injury, Brees has tossed for at least 234 yards in both contests but it's also worth noting he has three interceptions as well in that span. In the season […]

Kirk Cousins Posts Excellent Line In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 26-of-39 passes for 283 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas Day. The Vikings will not be heading to the playoffs but Cousins has now thrown for over 30 touchdowns in a season for the second time in his career. […]

Tua Tagovailoa A Possible Streaming Choice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa came back down to Earth last week, but managed the game well enough to pull off the victory. However, Tagovailoa should have more fantasy value versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. A defense that has allowed multiple touchdown passes in five straight games. Although, it should be noted […]

Signs Pointing To Derek Carr Starting Against Dolphins

All signs are pointing toward Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) making the start in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday after he didn't show up on the team's final injury report on Thursday. However, head coach Jon Gruden said that he's "not going to let the cat out of the bag" regarding […]

Friday Football Matchups Analysis: Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints

Not only have we made it to the end of the fantasy football season, but we have also made it to the end of 2020. Although fantasy football can feel like a full-time job, it is always important to recognize what really matters - family, friends, and your own personal well being. It has been […]

Derek Carr Hasn't Been Named The Starter

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is "optimistic" that quarterback Derek Carr (groin) will be active in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday, but Gruden wouldn't name the starting QB against Miami. Carr suffered a strained groin last Thursday and was removed from the final Week 16 injury report, but backup Marcus Mariota […]

Derek Carr Good To Go For Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) was not listed on the team's final injury report on Thursday for Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday night. This comes as a pretty big surprise after Carr suffered a significant groin strain in last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. He was expected to miss time, but […]

Justin Herbert Will Be A QB2 In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert will look to continue his impressive debut campaign with a matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 16. The Broncos Defense has been a solid unit and is allowing just 245 yards through the air and a just over a touchdown per game to signal callers. Despite those […]
