Aaron Rodgers Continues Series Of Tough Matchups

The Broncos are one of the better units […]

Philip Rivers Moving To Second In Consecutive Starts

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is set to start his 211th consecutive game on Sunday when the team faces the Texans. That start will pass Eli Manning and give Rivers sole possession of second place on the all-time Iron Man list behind Brett Favre. While the accomplishment was always going to be noteworthy, it […]

Teddy Bridgewater, Taysom Hill Make For Difficult Week 3 Options

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater saw ample playing time during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams after he replaced the injured Drew Brees. Bridgewater finished 17-for-30, and while he did not commit a turnover, he was unable to lead New Orleans into the end zone. Despite that, Bridgewater appears in […]

Josh Rosen To Start In Week 3, Ryan Fitzpatrick Benched

The Miami Dolphins have named quarterback Josh Rosen as the starter for Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to sources. It's the right choice, but Rosen might not fare much better than Ryan Fitzpatrick did the first two weeks behind an embarrassing offensive line and without many weapons in the passing game. The Dolphins will […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Reliable Starter In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has five touchdowns and five interceptions through two games.

Derek Carr Off The Starting QB Radar

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr failed to capitalize in a juicy Week 2 matchup, making him difficult to trust with a grimmer task ahead in Week 3. The team will travel to take on a stout Vikings Defense who finished third-best in 2018 giving up 196 passing YPG. Carr has looked more comfortable overall in […]

Matthew Stafford Has High Floor Heading Into Week 3

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to rebound after a so-so Week 2 performance when the Lions take on the Eagles in Week 3. Stafford faces an Eagles secondary that has allowed 680 yards through the first two weeks of the season, which places them just above the Raiders for second-most yards allowed through […]

Kyle Allen Trending Toward Starting Over Cam Newton

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen is trending toward starting over Cam Newton (foot) in Week 3 against the Cardinals.
