In Week 8, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be looking to bounce back from his worst performance of the season.

Baker Mayfield A High-End QB2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off an excellent five-touchdown game in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has an extremely favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8.

Jared Goff Has An Average Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff hasn't been perfect this season, but he's been a decent option as the overall QB14 through seven weeks. In Week 8, he's definitely not going to be near the top of the rankings against the Miami Dolphins. He has the full complement of his receiving weapons, but he's going […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's Tua Time, folks. We made it.

Bye weeks continue to chug along and assuming there isn’t any […]

Teddy Bridgewater Has Upside Against Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater gets a great matchup in Week 8 against the Falcons. Bridgewater had arguably his best game of the year against Atlanta back in Week 5, as it's the only game where he's thrown for at least 300 yards and multiple touchdown scores this season. The Falcons Defense has been the […]

Drew Brees Not A Strong Option In Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is not a strong option at QB in Week 8 against the Bears. Chicago allows the fewest fantasy points to QBs and Brees may be without Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders once again this week. Therefore, this week will pose a stiff challenge for Brees if he doesn't have […]

Cowboys Expected To Sign Cooper Rush

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign quarterback Cooper Rush to their practice squad once he passes COVID-19 protocols and a physical, which is likely to be next week, according to a source.
