Josh Rosen Fails to Spark Dolphins Offense
Getting his first start for his new team, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen moved the offense only slightly better than his predecessor Ryan Fitzpatrick in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Rosen completed 18-of-39 passes for 200 yards with no touchdowns, although he did have a touchdown dropped by Preston Williams. There are zero […]
Joe Flacco Has Abysmal Performance Against Packers
Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco had an abysmal outing against a stout Green Bay Packers Defense. The veteran signal-caller failed to connect for a touchdown on Saturday afternoon, also throwing an interception during the game. Flacco threw for 213 yards on 20-of-29 passing. The season has started slow for the first-year Bronco fantasy-wise, as he […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Escapes With Victory
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo led his team to victory despite committing three turnovers in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Garoppolo completed 23 of 32 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown while also tossing two picks and losing a fumble. His touchdown in the fourth quarter to receiver Dante Pettis sealed the […]
Kyler Murray Delivers Mixed Bag
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 30-for-43 for 173 yards, two touchdown and two interceptions in the loss Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. He also added eight rushes for 69 yards. Murray was sacked eight times in the game. His completion percentage remains positive, but he isn't moving the ball downfield effectively. This was the […]
Kirk Cousins Throws One Touchdown In Win
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 15-of-21 passes for 174 yards and a first-quarter touchdown to Adam Thielen in Sunday's 34-14 win. Cousins again wasn't asked to do much as the rushing attack and defense took control of the game early and never let go. Cousins did look much better against the Raiders bottom-tier defense, […]
Jameis Winston Solid In Bucs Loss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put his team in position to win with a strong outing Sunday, but it was ultimately not enough as kicker Matt Gay missed a 34-yard field goal at the end of the game to hand the Giants the win. Winston had very little problem moving the ball against the […]
Patrick Mahomes Continues Hot Streak
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes steps up to the plate and delivers once again in the 33-28 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Mahomes completed 27-of-37 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns without an interception in the win. Mahomes becomes the third quarterback in history to begin the season with three […]
Deshaun Watson Throws Three Touchdowns Against Chargers
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson got off to a slow start in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he turned it on in the second half, finishing with 351 yards and three touchdowns on 25-for-34 passing. Watson also added 18 rushing yards on seven carries. Watson is one of the NFL's best young […]
Mason Rudolph Held In Check By 49ers
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 14 of 27 passes for 174 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. The Steelers were pretty conservative in their gameplan with the signal caller making his first career start. The few times that they did make some deep throws, gold struck for […]
Daniel Jones Era Begins In Style
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones played the hero on Sunday for the Giants. He completed 23 of 36 passes for 336 yards with two TDs and zero INTs, while also rushing four times for 28 yards and two TDs, including the eventual game winner with 1:20 to play. It’s hard to overstate how much […]
Lamar Jackson Rushes For A Touchdown
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't throw a touchdown but managed to run one in during the loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. Jackson would finish with 46 rushing yards on eight attempts and also went 22-for-43 for 267 yards. After accumulating seven touchdowns coming into this one, the sophomore failed to find the end […]
Jacoby Brissett Stands Out In Week 3
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett was one completion away from breaking former quarterback Peyton Manning's team record. On the day, he finished 28-of-37 for 310 yards and two touchdowns. Brissett takes care of the ball, and he makes low-risk throws. On a day where running back Marlon Mack was limited, those throws eventually added up. […]
Carson Wentz Throws Two Touchdowns in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was solid in Sunday's Week 3 loss, tossing two touchdowns. He completed 19 of his 36 passes for 259 yards. He added 33 yards on four carries as well. Wentz's touchdowns came on a 20-yard pass and a two-yard pass, both to wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Even without his top […]
Dak Prescott Throws Two Touchdowns and Runs One In
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a productive Week 3, throwing two touchdowns and running one in as well. Prescott completed 19 of his 32 passes for 246 yards. His passing touchdowns both went to Amari Cooper, one for five yards and another for 19. His rushing touchdown was on an eight-yard run in the […]
Matthew Stafford Posts Disappointing Effort In Lions Win
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford looked uncomfortable all game against a normally shaky Eagles secondary, completing 18-of-32 passes for 201 yards and one touchdown in the Lions win. The Eagles front seven wasn't the issue for Stafford, who avoided getting sacked and was hit just three times all game, but he looked off nonetheless. His […]
Josh Allen With Another Solid Performance
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 22-of-36 passes for 243 yards on Sunday, with one touchdown and an interception as the Bills held off the Cincinnati Bengals for a 21-17 victory. Allen also added 46 yards on nine rushes and a two-point conversion, with Buffalo moving to a surprising 3-0 on the season. Allen still […]
Aaron Rodgers Lead Packers To Victory
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team to victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. However, despite the victory, Rodgers didn't have a great game for fantasy owners. Rodgers finished the game completing 17 of his 29 attempts for 235 yards and a single touchdown, as well as one negative rushing yard. Rodgers […]
Andy Dalton Comes Up Short Against The Bills
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was under siege by the Buffalo Bills Defense for much of the day as the Bengals offensive line continues to struggle without starting left tackle Cordy Glenn. Dalton was forced to rush many of his throws, and as a result he narrowly missed Tyler Boyd several times. Dalton ended his […]
Luke Falk Struggles In New England
New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk was dreadful Sunday in New England completing 12 of 22 passes for 98 yards. Falk didn't lead a touchdown drive and threw an interception in the ugly loss. Falk was serviceable in Week 2 when he was forced into action, but the Patriots Defense completely dominated today sacking Falk […]
Matt Ryan Throws Three Touchdowns
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns on 29-for-34 passing in the narrow loss to the Colts in Week 3. After throwing five picks during the first two games of the year, his lone interception in this one was a step in the right direction. Despite Ryan's inaccuracies in the […]
Derek Carr Unimpressive In Week 3 Loss
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw for 242 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-14 loss to the Vikings Sunday. He also threw one ugly interception, but he managed to save face with a 75-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes of garbage time. Carr's 27-for-34 completion rate (79.4%) was decent, but his […]
Tom Brady Throws For 306 Yards In Easy Win
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 28-of-42 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots convincing 30-14 win over the Jets. Brady now has multiple touchdown passes in each of his first three games this season after another sharp performance. The Patriots built an early lead but that did not prevent their […]
Ben Roethlisberger Expected To Be Back In 2020
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) won't need Tommy John surgery and is expected to be back for the 2020 NFL season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Roethlisberger's 2019 season is done, but re-draft owners who are already looking ahead at 2020 should expect Roethlisberger to not return to his full form after suffering a […]
Cam Newton Likely To Practice Soon
Despite his foot injury being bad enough to keep him out of Week 3's meeting with Arizona, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is expected to return to practice as soon as Wednesday, with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport saying that Newton's injury is a "day to day" issue. That means Newton could be back on the […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will start Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Seattle Seahawks, though the team intends to use Taysom Hill at times during the game.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids
The Patriots look unstoppable, the Steelers look like toast, and the Ravens look like they'll control the AFC North. I gave out the Pats and Ravens, got burned on Pitt, but wisely avoided the Panthers. Like I wrote last week, don't overreact just yet. It's only two games. I understand it's already an eighth of […]
