Eagles Committed To Carson Wentz

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said he didn't consider replacing quarterback Carson Wentz with rookie Jalen Hurts during the Sunday night win over the Cowboys in Week 8. Wentz turned the ball over four times and finished 15-for-27 for just 123 yards and two touchdowns in the 23-9 win. "Carson is our starter, and […]

Jake Luton Expected To Start Against Texans

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton, a sixth-round pick out of Oregon State, is expected to start in Week 9 against the Texans with Gardner Minshew II (thumb) recovering from multiple fractures in his right thumb. It will be Luton's first career start in the NFL, so fantasy managers desperate enough […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Sidelined Indefinitely With High-Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is expected to be sidelined indefinitely with the high-ankle sprain that he aggravated in the Week 8 loss to the Seahawks, according to a source. The team thinks that he needs sufficient time to rest an injury that has bothered him since Week 2. The 29-year-old didn't look […]

Jake Luton To See Starter's Reps In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that rookie quarterback Jake Luton will receiver starter's repetitions in practice this week with Gardner Minshew II (thumb) not expected to play in Week 9 against the Texans.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had his best game of the season in the Week 8 comeback win over the Chargers.

It was Lock's first game throwing a touchdown pass since the season-opener against the […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Pedestrian Output Against Bengals

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 233 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 20 yards on two carries during Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Bengals.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed on Monday that the team had two positive COVID-19 tests over the weekend. The Cardinals were on bye this week, but players were required to come into the team's facility for testing every morning.

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you don't have space to roster Mullens "just-in-case", then you can pretty much forget about this post. Nick Mullens took the field backing up an injured Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday, and that is the only path to playing he'll have going forward. If […]

Nick Foles (QB, CHI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been five starts for Nick Foles as the leading man of the Bears, and six games overall if we count the one back in Week 3 in which he was subbed in for Mitchell Trubisky. Foles has been nothing close to a world-beater, […]

Carson Wentz Struggles His Way To A Week 8 Win

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz wasn't great in Week 8, but he was good enough to beat the Cowboys and fall backwards into first place in the NFC East. Wentz completed 15 of his 27 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles in an ugly four turnover […]

Ben DiNucci Struggles As Expected In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci struggled in a loss to the Eagles in Week 8.

He did not throw an interception, but he did lose two fumbles, one […]

Tua Tagovailoa Quiet In First Start

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made his first career NFL start against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. It was quite surprising that Miami made a change under center after the veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was playing well with the team. Regardless, Tagovailoa was able to lead his team to victory. Although, they didn't really […]

Nick Foles Falls Short In Overtime

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles completed 28-of-41 passes for 272 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Bears crushing 26-23 loss to the Saints in Week 8. The Bears offense got off to a modestly efficient start in the first half, posting 13 points and hitting on some big plays. Foles worked the play-action […]

Sam Darnold Tries His Best Versus Chiefs

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has not thrown a touchdown pass since Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. To be fair, his weapons on offense are awful, but Darnold does not look good out there. He completed 18 of 30 passing attempts for 113 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss […]

Derek Carr Throws Touchdown Against Browns

It was a windy day in Cleveland, which led the Las Vegas Raiders to run the ball 45 times against just 24 pass attempts (and two sacks) for quarterback Derek Carr. Carr did the best he could with those attempts, going for 15-for-24 for 112 yards and a touchdown. Still, there wasn't much he could […]

Cam Newton Makes Crucial Mistake In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton made the most out of a bad situation with both of his top receivers sidelined in Week 8. He completed 15 of 25 passing attempts for 174 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. Newton also rushed nine times for 54 yards and one touchdown, which saved his fantasy […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws Pair Of Touchdowns Against Cincy

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for 233 yards on 18-for-30 passing in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He threw two touchdowns and a pick, plus added 20 rushing yards. Tannehill has started to develop a nice rapport with wide receiver Corey Davis, which boosts Tannehill's stock going forward. Consider him a high-end QB2 […]

Drew Brees Tosses For 280 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 31-for-41 for 280 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime win over Chicago on Sunday. The veteran has now tossed for at least 280 yards in the past three games and has thrown five touchdowns to only one pick in that stretch as well. Even without his top […]

Hunter Henry Fizzles Again

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry racked up just four catches for 33 yards during the loss to the Broncos on Sunday. With the team leaning on its rushing attack in addition to the duo of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams getting extra attention from Justin Herbert, the 25-year-old wasn't a factor. Henry hasn't […]

Philip Rivers Tosses Three Touchdowns Against Lions

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers got off to a rocky start to 2020, throwing just four touchdown passes in his first five games. But he's turned things around, posting his second consecutive three-touchdown game on Sunday as the Colts defeated the Detroit Lions. Rivers was 23-for-33 for 262 yards along with those three scores. He […]

He completed 27 of 37 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns. He also added six carries for 23 yards. The only thing that has been able […]

Kirk Cousins Doesn't Need To Do Much In Victory

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins didn't need to do much in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers, as running back Dalvin Cook's 30 carries helped lead the Vikings to the victory. Cousins attempted just 14 passes, completing 11 of them for 160 yards and a touchdown. He was sacked once. This Vikings team isn't […]

Nick Mullens Provides Effecient Outing In Relief Effort

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns on 18-for-25 passing during the loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. With Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) exiting early, the 25-year-old had an impressive performance, especially with the team missing key personnel on the offensive end. If Jimmy G does indeed miss time moving […]

Two Cardinals Players Test Positive For COVID-19

Two Arizona Cardinals players tested positive for COVID-19 during the team's bye week. The team's facility has been closed for deep cleaning. The team is expected to practice on Monday. It's too early to know if this puts next week's Cardinals/Dolphins game is in jeopardy, but it's something worth monitoring.

Josh Allen Continues Fantasy Slump

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has not looked like the same player that he did during the first four games of the regular season. He completed 11 of 18 passing attempts for 154 passing yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in the Week 8 win over the New England Patriots. He somewhat salvaged his […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Leaves Game With Injury

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) limped off to the locker room after suffering what looked like an ankle injury. Garoppolo seemed out of sorts in this one, only throwing for 84 yards and an interception before the injury. Backup signal-caller Nick Mullens will take over the offense in the meantime. Garoppolo is questionable […]
