The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)

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 […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 8

Tragedy struck a few top quarterbacks this week, as both Patrick Mahomes and Matt Ryan left games with injuries. We already know Mahomes will miss 3-6 weeks, while more will be revealed about Ryan's status later today. Either way, owners of these quarterbacks will need a backup plan in place, and this week the waiver […]

Kyle Allen (QB, CAR) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have to confess that I love bye weeks. Actually, what I like the most is not the fact of teams not playing for a weekend, but rather the moment when they are ready to come back. A lot of players are dropped […]

Tom Brady Passes For 249 Yards In MNF Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 31 of 45 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots 33-0 romp over the Jets in Week 7.

Sam Darnold Has Complete Meltdown Vs Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a night to forget vs New England in Week 7 completing only 11 of 32 passes for 86 yards. Darnold, who was out with mono during the Jets' first meeting with the NFL's number one defense, threw a career-high four interceptions and also lost a fumble in a […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

The better part of seven weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse.

Baker Mayfield Able to Practice Monday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (hip) was able to practice on Monday. Mayfield suffered a bruised hip during his team's Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks but did not miss any offensive snaps. Mayfield should be relatively healthy coming off his Week 7 bye, especially considering his availability to take the field for practice […]

Russell Wilson Pedestrian In Week 7 Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson fell back to Earth a bit during a 30-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Wilson completed 20 of his 41 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown in the defeat. He also threw his first interception of the season as Marcus Peters ran a soft pass back […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Doesn't Get Chance to Complete Comeback

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had his best game of the season on Sunday, completing 23-of-35 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Fitzpatrick's second touchdown of the day was an 11-yard run that brought the Dolphins to within a field goal with less than two minutes […]

Lamar Jackson Gains 116 Yards Rushing

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't light it up through the air in the Ravens 30-16 victory over the Seahawks, going just 9-of-20 passing for 143 yards and no touchdowns. Jackson made up for his shortcomings in the passing game by carrying the ball 14 times for 116 yards and a touchdown, making Week 7 […]

Tannehill Goes Over 300 Yards In Start

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill impressed in his first start of the 2019 season, completing 23 of 29 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns in their 23-20 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Tannehill looked confident and consistently pushed the ball downfield to his playmakers. The offense looked much more explosive with Tannehill under […]

Teddy Bridgewater Throws Two Touchdowns Against Bears

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 36-25 victory over the Chicago Bears. On the one hand, Bridgewater completed just 60.5 percent of his passes, his second-lowest mark of the season.

Mitch Trubisky Salvages Awful Performance

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 34 of 54 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears 36-25 loss to the Saints in Week 7. Practically all of the third-year quarterback's stats came in the final moments after the Bears had fallen behind 36-10. The Bears offense was abysmal for three quarters and […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Plays Another Nondescript Game

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 12 of 21 passes for 151 yards, no scores and an interception in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. He also ran four times for 20 yards. The Niners leaned on their defense and wet conditions to overmatch the Redskins in the 9-0 shutout. The nondescript performance from […]

Andy Dalton Brutalized By Jags On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton wasn't able to get anything going against Jacksonville in Week 7. While the veteran was able to accumulate 276 yards and two total touchdowns on the day, the Jaguars Defense was relentless by recording interceptions on three-straight drives, with one of those picks being returned for a score. Dalton is […]

Jared Goff Rights The Ship

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff bounced back with 268 passing yards and two touchdowns in a blowout of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Goff was 22-for-37, didn't throw any picks and rushed for a touchdown as well. This comes after he threw for just 78 yards last week. He'll have a fabulous matchup […]

Kirk Cousins Has Third Straight Big Game

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-34 passes for 337 yards and four touchdowns in Week 7's 42-30 win over the Detroit Lions. Cousins was on point all afternoon, completing passes to seven different receivers and benefiting from the play-action game repeatedly as the Lions Defense had no answer. Cousins put up a solid QB1 […]

Case Keenum Attempts Just 12 Passes In Rainy Loss

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 12 passes for 77 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Terrible weather slowed down both of the offenses in this contest, and the Redskins ran the ball just well enough that airing it out through a hard rain would not have improved their chances of winning […]

Kyler Murray Quiet in Week 7

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray didn't do much in the victory over the New York Giants in Week 7. He was 14-for-21 for 104 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions, and he rushed 10 times for 28 yards. It was a disappointing day after the momentum he built the last couple of games and the […]

Gardner Minshew Throws Touchdown Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw for 255 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He was 15-for-32 throwing the ball and also added 48 rushing yards on nine carries. It wasn't an encouraging game for Minshew, especially with a completion percentage below 50 percent, but he got the job done. […]

Costly Turnovers Overshadow Derek Carr's Productive Effort

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 22 of 28 passes and threw for a season-high 293 yards in a losing effort versus the Packers in Week 7.

Josh Allen Scores Twice And Is Turnover-Free In Week 7

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had his second turnover-free outing of the season in Week 7 against the Dolphins. He completed 16-of-26 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns, while also adding 32 rushing yards. It was a home game and the matchup couldn't have been better. Luckily, Allen's next two matchups are similarly favorable […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Pair Of Interceptions

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 308 yards in Houston's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He was 22-for-34 passing the ball, finishing with a touchdown and a pair of picks. He added 32 rushing yards on three carries. Watson lost one of his best options, Will Fuller, early, which hurt Watson and […]

Daniel Jones Under Constant Pressure Versus Cardinals

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was let down by his offensive line on Sunday against the Cardinals. Jones was sacked eight times and hit 12 times on the afternoon. He had no time to throw, and the rainy conditions made it hard to drive the ball deep. The rookie signal-caller finished with 223 yards […]

Matthew Stafford Goes Wild In Thrilling Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford did all he could against the Vikings Sunday, throwing for 364 yards and four scores with one interception, but it was ultimately not enough to get the win. The Lions Defense wasn't able to give Stafford a chance to win this game, giving up a huge play to Stefon Diggs […]
