Kyler Murray A Back-End Option
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray sputtered in a great matchup last week as running back Chase Edmonds stole the show. The New Orleans Saints are a stout defense, but they bend to quarterbacks a bit. The Saints have been a midrange defense to the position the last five weeks. Murray is 10th among quarterbacks in […]
Matt Moore Will Start Against Packers
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore will get the nod under center for Week 8 versus the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is expected to miss three weeks after suffering an injury last week. Moore completed 10 of 19 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in the victory last Thursday. The Chiefs […]
Jared Goff A Solid Play
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has a decent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The Bengals are in the lower half of the league in defending the quarterback position over the last five weeks. Oddly enough, they have given up a ton of yardage through the air and on the ground, but they […]
DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles, Jason Peters Out
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen), running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) and left tackle Jason Peters (knee) have all been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bills after missing practice all week. Jackson hasn't played since Week 2 and is without a timetable to return. The absence of his field-stretching prowess is really […]
Mason Rudolph Gets Prime Matchup For His Return
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has been a full participant in practice this week, marking his official return to the field after suffering a concussion in Week 5. The second-year signal caller gets a prime Monday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins at home. The Dolphins allow the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks […]
Drew Brees Still In Play For Week 8
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has declined to name a starting quarterback for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Drew Brees (thumb) was limited in practice on Thursday and isn't being ruled out over Teddy Bridgewater just yet. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Saints hold Brees out another week with their bye […]
Patrick Mahomes Won't Play In Week 8
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss Kansas City's Week 8 meeting with the Green Bay Packers. This had been the expected situation since Mahomes injured his knee last Thursday, but his appearances at practice this week had introduced some hope into his ability to return to the field without missing a game. […]
Matt Ryan Questionable For Week 8
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is questionable for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Ryan is nursing an ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 7 and could be a game-time decision Sunday morning. The Falcons are 1-6 and in danger of getting head coach Dan Quinn fired, so they may roll Ryan out there […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick Will Need Magic on Monday Night
Back starting under center in Week 7, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick brought his winless team to within three points late in the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills, but ultimately lost to his former team 31-21. Fitzpatrick had his best fantasy performance of the season, throwing for 282 yards and a touchdown while adding […]
Deshaun Watson Has Great Week 8 Matchup
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a pair of interceptions in Week 7 against the Colts, but he's in line to bounce back in a big way on Sunday against an Oakland Raiders team that's allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Opposing passers have thrown 16 touchdowns and just three interceptions […]
Players to Buy Before the Trade Deadline
The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]
Baker Mayfield Draws Tough Week 8 Matchup
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield draws a tough road matchup against the undefeated New England Patriots in Week 8. While the Browns will be fresh coming off of their bye, the Patriots have been one of the best defenses in the league this season, both against the run and the pass. Mayfield's struggles in 2019 […]
Continue To Sit Andy Dalton Against Rams
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton hasn't performed well this season. Playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league in addition to the team dealing with injuries to the likes of A.J. Green (ankle) and John Ross (shoulder), Dalton continues to struggle as the team heads to Los Angeles to meet the Rams […]
Sam Darnold Looking To Bounce Back Versus Jaguars
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will look to recover from Monday's nightmare performance in a Week 8 matchup at Jacksonville. Darnold was horrendous against the Patriots last week, throwing for only 86 yards and four interceptions in a shutout loss. He should have an easier time against a Jaguars Defense that is in the […]
Dwayne Haskins Picked Off In Scoreless Relief Effort
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins took the helm when Case Keenum went down with a concussion on Thursday night. He didn't get to do much, attempting just five passes. Unfortunately, one of those was intercepted deep in Minnesota territory in what was a one-score game at the time. With an extra few days until their […]
Case Keenum The Starter When Healthy
Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) will be the starter in Week 9 against the Bills if he's healthy. If he can't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Thursday night, rookie Dwayne Haskins would get the start. The good news is that […]
Kirk Cousins Throws For 285 Yards Against Washington
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 23 of 26 passes for 285 yards in Week 8's 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins. He didn't throw a touchdown or an interception but was very accurate again in the victory. The Vikings totaled 38 rushing attempts as they continue to stress Dalvin Cook and the rushing attack, […]
Case Keenum Knocked Out Thursday With Concussion
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) suffered a concussion on Thursday night against the Vikings and has been ruled out for the second half. The journeyman quarterback was 12-for-16 for 130 yards without a touchdown or interception, but he did lose a fumble before leaving. He wasn't terrible, but he predictably wasn't great either against […]
Jameis Winston Hopes To Get Back On Track After Bye
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had the week off to figure out exactly what went wrong in a Week 6 performance that saw him turn the ball over an ungodly six times, but a bounce-back performance may not be in the cards this week with a road matchup against the Titans on deck. The […]
Joe Flacco Has No Value Against Colts
Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco holds little fantasy value at the moment, and losing one of his better wide receivers this week in Emmanuel Sanders did not help Flacco's stock. The veteran quarterback has struggled all season long and signs do not point to him producing fantasy points anytime soon. Even with a matchup against […]
Aaron Rodgers To Continue His Impressive Form
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers impressed last week against the Oakland Raiders and will look to continue that this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have given up an average of 18.0 points to the position this season, but that number could have been far higher if the Houston Texans hadn't dropped […]
Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees Limited Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Kamara didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a notable improvement, although he's still very questionable to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The Saints are likely factoring in their Week 9 bye […]
Sam Darnold Gets In Full Practice
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Darnold injured his toe (and his feelings) in the pathetic loss to the Patriots on Monday night in which he admitted to "seeing ghosts" on the sidelines. He will play against the Jaguars this weekend […]
Tom Brady Has Favorable Week 8 Matchup
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a positive matchup against a Browns Defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing passers in Week 8. Brady has only four touchdown passes (plus two rushing scores) over his last four games but will face a Browns secondary that has allowed multiple touchdowns […]
Patrick Mahomes Works With Second Team Thursday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) worked with the second-team offense on Thursday and looked to be moving around better. Mahomes has been pretty limited the last two days of practice. While he's making great progress from a dislocated kneecap a week ago, the odds are still slim that he plays on Sunday night […]
Matt Ryan Not Expected To Practice Thursday
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is not expected to practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he continues to nurse his sprained ankle. The Falcons said earlier this week that they planned on Ryan starting in Week 8 against the Seahawks, but all signs right now point to Matt Schaub starting unless […]
Mitch Trubisky Not A Smart Play In Week 8
Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will be under the microscope when the team takes the field in Week 8 against the Chargers. The season, thus far, has been a total disaster for Trubisky and the Bears offense. The third-year quarterback has regressed this season and his numbers have been propped up by one strong first […]
Teddy Bridgewater A Low-End Streaming Option Against Cardinals
New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fantasy star by any means but has posted at least 16 fantasy points in three starts this year. He'll face a Cardinals Defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the pass. The […]
A.J. Green, Cordy Glenn Won't Play In London
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) and left tackle Cordy Glenn (shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Rams in London. The Bengals are on bye next week, so the soonest Green and Glenn can play in 2019 will be in Week 10. Although the Bengals say they don't want to […]
Cam Newton Hasn't Practiced This Week
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) could travel with the team to San Francisco this week, but Newton has yet to practice this week and won't be active. The Panthers announced that Kyle Allen would make another start against the 49ers earlier this week, and Newton must return to practice soon if he has any […]
