Jerry Jones Optimistic About Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones showed some optimism on the status of quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) for Week 16 in the important meeting with the Eagles. "I’m totally convinced he’ll be in top form. We need him in top form and he will be in top form," Jones said. Prescott should be active, but he […]

Josh Allen Faces Tough Week 16 Matchup Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a nightmare of a game last time he faced the Patriots. In Week 4 against the Patriots, the Bills suffered their first loss of the year while Allen completed just 13-of-28 passes for 153 yards with no touchdown passes and three interceptions. He did have a rushing touchdown in […]

Trent Brown Sent To Injured Reserve

Oakland Raiders Pro Bowl right tackle Trent Brown (pectoral) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to head coach Jon Gruden. Brown has been a huge asset for Oakland's offensive line, mainly in pass protection, in his first year with the Raiders. His loss could prove costly in the team's final two games, starting […]

Mitch Trubisky Still Has Plenty To Prove

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky and Co. have been eliminated from the playoffs but have plenty to play for against the Chiefs in Week 16. It has been a wildly disappointing season for Trubisky, who has posted a 75 or lower QB rating in eight games and has only 17 touchdowns in 12 full games […]

Tom Brady Has Unattractive Week 16 Matchup

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his struggling offense will take on a tough Bills team in Week 16. It has been a brutal stretch for Brady and the passing game recently as the future Hall of Famer has passed for less than 200 yards in three of his past four games. Brady has […]

Daniel Jones On Track To Start Sunday

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) was working with the first-team offense again on Wednesday and is on track to return as the starting signal-caller for Week 16 against the Redskins. The 22-year-old missed the last two games with a mild high ankle sprain, but he'll be back under center to close out […]

Dak Prescott To Be Limited In Practice

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Wednesday after getting injured in the Week 15 blowout of the Rams. Prescott should be just fine to play in an extremely important divisional game against the Eagles this Sunday. The winner should take the NFC East division. Prescott will be a top-10 […]

Jameis Winston Throwing Tennis Balls

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) was limited to throwing tennis balls in practice on Wednesday for the second week in a row after fracturing his right thumb in Week 14. He did not grip a football last week until Friday and then went on to throw for a career-high 458 yards, four touchdowns […]

Carson Wentz a QB2 Option in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a QB2 option for a Week 16 NFC East clash against the Dallas Cowboys. Wentz is missing pretty much every wide receiver and will be throwing to his tight ends and a guy named Greg Ward. Wentz managed three touchdown passes and 266 yards in Week 15, but that […]

Dak Prescott a Solid Choice for Week 16

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a solid choice for Week 16 fantasy lineups. The Cowboys travel to Philly for what is essentially the NFC East championship game. Prescott wasn't really needed in Week 15 as the run game dominated the Rams, leading to just 23 pass attempts for the Cowboys. Before that, however, Prescott […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Jameis Winston, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Matthew Stafford Placed On IR

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was placed on the injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season. Had the Lions been fighting for a playoff spot, there is the possibility that Stafford could have returned, but at this point shutting him down for the season was the obvious choice. Stafford was on pace for a career […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 16

It's Week 16. It's Championship Week. If you've made it this far, you undoubtedly know the drill. It's also less likely you're in need of a player to pick up from the bowels of the waiver wire. But just for consistency sake and to ensure no championship-bound teams are left in the lurch, I'm going […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Higbee were all freely available on waivers at some point this season, if not last week. These are the type of players that become unexpected league-winners and this is why you never stop playing the wire up until the curtain is drawn on […]

Week 15 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 15, the quarterback position fell according to plan for the most part. Lamar Jackson threw for five touchdown passes against a soft Jets pass defense finishing as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Jameis Winston was able to play with a broken thumb to finish as the No. 2 quarterback on […]

It's championship week, and if you're looking for quarterback streamers things have either gone horribly right or horribly wrong for your squad heading into the title game. Whichever it is, we've got some strong options to help bring home the ship. Maybe you're looking for a streamer because your regular starter has a tough matchup. […]

The Fantasy Football Guide to College Bowl Season

It's time for the best -- or, if you think 300-something games is too many, the worst -- part of the football season: Bowl games. This year, we've got 40 bowl games in total. That's a lot of games to sit through, especially if you're not a big college football fan, so let's give y'all, […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 16)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I might be a homer writing this little article, but I have believed in Gardner Minshew since the very first moment he took the field all the way back in Week 1 and he hasn’t disappointed just one bit. Sure, he’s had his bad […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Mitchell Trubisky was close to pulling another upset against Green Bay this past Sunday, he ultimately fell short and Chicago conceded another loss.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In the season of the running-quarterback (shouts Lamar Jackson!)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took time, but Dwayne Haskins seems to be finally heating up.

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Either you’re uniquely great, or you’re going to struggle as a rookie passer. That is how pro football works.

Taysom Hill Catches Touchdown In Week 15 Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill caught both of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in a 34-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Hill's touchdown reception was his fifth of the year- and he also has a rushing touchdown this year. The 29-year-old helped Drew Brees make history, as he hauled in the […]

Drew Brees Nearly Flawless Against Colts

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 30 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Brees' five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Josh Hill was the 541st of his career, making him the all-time leader. The 40-year-old also set a single-game record for completion percentage […]

Jacoby Brissett Struggles In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a good matchup in Week 15, but he was unable to convert that into fantasy production. He finished 18-of-34 for 165 yards and one carry for seven yards. Brissett and the Colts continue to fade, and their playoff hopes are officially done. Brissett was a QB2 for the majority […]

Panthers Expected To Start Will Grier In Week 16

The Carolina Panthers are expected to make a quarterback change in Week 16 against the Colts. Rookie third round pick Will Grier is expected to get the start while Kyle Allen will head to the bench as Grier's backup. The move isn't official and hasn't been announced by the team yet, but the move has […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round

After injuries destroyed many a playoff hope in Week 14, we saw some heroes rise from the ashes to guide us through Week 15. Still, injuries to Dalvin Cook, Chris Godwin and others would keep the medical industry afloat as the season winds down. There's no shortage of waiver action heading into the traditional FF […]
