Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

It was another wild and woolly week of NFL football in Week 2, and while there are still no bye weeks to contend with, plenty of owners may be seeking to make a change at quarterback. Owners of Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger should be looking at free-agent quarterbacks, as both veteran signal-callers potentially face […]

Baker Mayfield Throws for 325 Yards in Win

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 19 of 35 passes for 325 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 23-3 win over the New York Jets in Week 2.

Luke Falk Serviceable In Relief Appearance

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk completed 20 passes in 25 attempts for 198 yards coming off the bench Monday night. Falk had no touchdowns and no interceptions in emergency duty after Trevor Siemian (ankle) left with an injury in the first half.

Marcus Mariota's Injury Not Serious

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (quadriceps) injury is not very serious. In an estimation of the practice statuses on Monday, Mariota was listed as a did not practice.

Marcus Mariota, A.J. Brown On Week 3 Injury Report

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) and rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) are both listed on the Week 3 injury report on Monday.

To be fair, Manning was without Sterling Shepard (concussion) and lost […]

Drew Brees To Undergo Surgery on Thumb

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will get surgery as early as Monday on his injured thumb and could miss up to six weeks.

Joe Flacco Unable To Guide Denver To Win

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco went 35-for-50 for 292 yards and a touchdown, connecting with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders late in the fourth quarter in the loss to the Bears.

Josh Allen Leads Team To Second Win

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was productive during the Week 2 win over the Giants.

Philip Rivers Struggles In Week 2 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers still threw for nearly 300 yards, but it was far from a strong performance. Rivers didn't throw for any touchdowns, and he got picked off on the team's final offensive play of the game, when he tried to force a pass into double coverage from 28 yards out. Rivers […]

Kyler Murray Airs It Out

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 25-for-40 for 349 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Derek Carr Inconsistent In Week 2

Carson Wentz Totals Two Touchdowns in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz found a way to make two touchdowns happen on Sunday night despite losing his two top receivers to injuries. With DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery both leaving due to injuries in the first half, Wentz was left with a preseason-like supporting cast for most of the game. Still, he threw […]

Marcus Mariota Fails To Deliver In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 19 of 28 attempts for just 154 yards and one touchdown in the team's 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Drew Brees To See Hand Specialist

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (hand) will be examined by a hand specialist in Los Angeles on Sunday night after leaving the Week 2 game early in the first quarter against the Rams.

Kirk Cousins Totals Three Turnovers In Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had a brutal game on Sunday, completing 14 of 32 passes (44%) for 230 yards, one passing touchdown and two interceptions on the day.

Patrick Mahomes Carves Up Raiders Defense

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is off to an incredible start to the regular season. He threw for three touchdowns in Week 1, but still somehow managed to top that in Week 2.

Mitch Trubisky Delivers Crucial Throw In Comeback Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 16 of 27 passes for 120 yards and eight rushing yards in the Bears last-second, comeback win over the Broncos 16-14. One week after Trubisky laid a dud against the Packers, the Bears offense took a very run-heavy approach to this battle. Trubisky was able to move the chains […]

Case Keenum Salvages Day With Two Second-Half TDs

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was held in check by the Dallas defense for most of Sunday's Week 2 loss, but a pair of touchdowns late in the second half saved his fantasy day.

Eli Manning Ineffective Versus Bills

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning struggled against the Bills on Sunday, finishing with 250 yards passing, one TD and two interceptions. Manning threw a handful of beautiful passes, including the touchdown to T.J. Jones, but he also made some awful throws and was unable to move the offense consistently. The veteran quarterback might be […]
