Jacoby Brissett Plays Well In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a solid day with 265 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He also added five carries for 19 yards. On the day, he had 46 passing attempts, and he would have finished with a good bit more yardage if it weren't for a number of drops by the pass […]

Baker Mayfield Throws For 342 Yards Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield went 20 of 30 passing for 342 yards and one touchdown in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. Mayfield didn't need to put the ball in the air much, but when he did he was effective. The Ravens put the clamps down on Odell Beckham Jr., but Mayfield was able […]

Daniel Jones Comes Back To Earth On Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones proved to be human in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. The rookie completed 23 of 31 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Jones added 33 yards on the ground, but this was a disappointing showing against a poor Redskins Defense. It’s a good reminder that, […]

Deshaun Watson Struggles Against Panthers

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson had a rushing touchdown to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective on Sunday against the Panthers, but overall it was a tough outing for Watson. He was 21-for-33 from the field, finishing with 160 yards and no touchdowns. He added 12 rushing yards and that aforementioned touchdown on three […]

Josh Allen Suffers Head Injury Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) was being evaluated for a head injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 4 game against the Patriots. Allen was having a rough day before his injury, going 13-for-28 for 153 yards and three interceptions before his injury, but his saving grace for fantasy owners was that he […]

Case Keenum Benched Against Giants

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum has been benched in the first half in Week 4 against the Giants after going 6-for-11 for 37 yards and one interception. First-rounder Dwayne Haskins has entered the game and will presumably finish the game with Washington down 14-0. Haskins offers more long-term upside for sure, but he might not […]

Cowboys, Dak Prescott Not Close To Deal

The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott are not close to a contract extension at this time, according to sources. A deal is expected to get done eventually, but a deal isn't happening anytime soon despite owner Jerry Jones saying an extension was "imminent" recently. With Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes likely to become the highest […]

Matthew Stafford Active, Danny Amendola Out

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (hip) is active for Week 4 against the Chiefs, while wide receiver Danny Amendola (chest) and cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) are both inactive. In a game where the Lions are expected to pass much more often than usual, Stafford has some low-end QB1 appeal on Sunday at home against Kansas […]

Sam Darnold Not A Lock For Week 5

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) still has hurdles to clear to play in Week 5 against the Eagles. He will undergo more tests on his spleen on Monday. If it's not enlarged, he can begin practicing and working out. Darnold's cardio has been limited to walking and a stationary bike, so he's not […]

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

Through three weeks of the season, it sure looks like we'll see a Patriots-Chiefs AFC Championship rematch. Both of those teams look unstoppable. My one qualm with New England is they've yet to face a formidable opponent. The combined record of New England's opponents is 0-9. Now they get a real test on the road […]

Colt McCoy Likely Inactive In Week 4

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) will likely not play against the Giants. After rumblings that McCoy could play in Week 4 while also serving as the team's starter, the Redskins will continue to roll with Case Keenum on Sunday, with rookie Dwayne Haskins coming in for relief if needed. Keenum has a favorable matchup […]

Andy Dalton Primed For A Big Monday Night

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has really benefited from head coach Zac Taylor's play-calling this season, as he's currently on pace for 5,221 passing yards this year. The Pittsburgh Steelers have given up an average of 306 passing yards and 2.3 touchdowns a game to opposing quarterbacks through the first three weeks of the season. […]

Joe Flacco A Tough Play In Week 4

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco faces a tough matchup in Week 4 as he faces off against the Jacksonville Jaguars secondary. The Jaguars have struggled to start the year in defending the pass, but host talented pass defenders on their roster. They will look to keep Joe Flacco and company in check, as they have […]

Lamar Jackson Looking To Bounce Back

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 267 yards and no touchdowns on 22-for-43 passing in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson will look to rebound on this performance against division rival Cleveland. The Browns Defense is ninth in the league in passing yards allowed this season (639). Cleveland had two picks and […]

Kirk Cousins A Shaky Play Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been a headache for fantasy owners this season, and it's not going to get any easier in Week 4. Cousins is coming off a game where he completed 15 passes for 174 passing yards and a touchdown without an interception. It's not an awful game, but it was against […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Feast on Lions

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unbelievable this season, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Mahomes has thrown for 1,195 passing yards and 10 touchdowns without an interception through three games. He heads into a great matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have allowed 3.7 TDs per interception since the […]

Josh Rosen Looks to Improve in Second Start

Making his first start of the year, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen did little to impress in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Rosen completed 18-of-39 passes for 200 yards but was also hurt by numerous drops, including what should have been a 15-yard touchdown reception by Preston Williams. While Rosen […]

Cam Newton Won't Return Until He's 100 Percent

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) confirmed that he's dealing with a mild Lisfranc injury and said he's doing everything in his power to come back. He could be out for a week or up to six weeks, and he wants to be 100 percent healthy when he returns. In other words, don't expect Newton […]
