Cordy Glenn Won't Play Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday against the Seahawks. Andre Smith will start at left tackle and protect quarterback Andy Dalton's blind side. It's a downgrade for an already shaky offensive line against a Seattle defense that recently upgraded their pass rush by trading for linebacker Jadeveon Clowney. […]

Nick Foles' Protection May Be Shoddy In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) didn't practice on Friday, and his backup, Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring) also hasn't been practicing. It's bad news for quarterback Nick Foles' blind-side protection as he gets set to make his debut for the team in Week 1 against the Chiefs at home. It's good news for KC's pass […]

Aaron Rodgers Leads Packers To Victory In Opener

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team to victory in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. In a low scoring game, Rodgers finished the game completing 18 of his 30 attempts for 203 yards and a single touchdown. Rodgers also added eight yards from three attempts. The opening matchup was always going […]

Mitch Trubisky Lays A Dud In Opener

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 26 of 45 passes for 228 yards and one interception in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers. The third-year quarterback and the Bears offense never got anything going, and Trubisky added only 11 rushing yards in the game. The Bears offense looked lost at times, failing to cash […]

Marcus Mariota Not In Play In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota faces a stiff task to kick off the 2019 season. Mariota and the Titans will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns, who enter the season with exponentially more hype than they've had in recent memory. While the majority of the focus has been on Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr., […]

Dak Prescott's Extension A Priority For Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have made it a priority to reach a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott now that they have locked up offensive lineman La'el Collins and running back Ezekiel Elliott this week. Prescott doesn't want to focus on a deal during the season. "We’re trying to put the best team around him, we […]

Patrick Mahomes An Excellent Option Versus Jags

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the best fantasy quarterback last season, but can he do it again? He'll have an interesting matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The Jags defense was not reliable last season, but they have the pieces to make it strong once again. Luckily, the Chiefs offense looks […]

Matt Ryan Start-Worthy In Tough Week 1 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will have a tough test to start the year as he travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, who allowed the third-fewest passing yards in the NFL last year. Things could also get more difficult for Ryan if he's without star wide receiver Julio Jones, whose status is very […]

Stack 'Em - Players With Favorable Fantasy Schedules

Rooting for a team is great. It is what fuels fandom, and sports in general. And it is why some times we opt to draft one of our favorite team's players instead of another guy. Look at your team at the end of your draft and it wouldn't be weird to find some homer-picks in […]

Cam Newton's Mobility Is Fine

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) mobility has been good in practice and he feels like the signal-caller will be able to do the things he normally does in Week 1 on Sunday against the Rams. Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third preseason game but is past […]

Josh Allen A Viable Starter In Two-QB Leagues For Week 1

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will be heavily under the spotlight during the first game of his sophomore NFL campaign. Allen's Bills will be on the road against the Jets on Sunday, giving Allen a favorable matchup as the Jets were the league's ninth-worst passing defense last season. Allen has some intriguing upside in the […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Ready To Shake The Doubters

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will make his first start this Sunday since Week 3 of last year. Returning from a torn ACL, Garoppolo endured a streaky preseason as he shook off the cobwebs. For the Niners to go anywhere this season, he’ll need to play like an all-pro. The team surrounded him with […]

Philip Rivers Could Throw Often

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers could lead a pass-first offense in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. When running back Melvin Gordon was out with an injury last season, Rivers dropped back to pass on 62.4 percent of the plays. When Gordon was healthy, that number dipped to 58.3 percent. The Colts were good […]

Case Keenum Facing Tough Week 1 Road Test

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum will make his team debut in the hostile confines of Lincoln Financial Field against the Eagles on Sunday. The Eagles were a bend-but-don't-break pass defense in 2018, allowing the third-most yards through the air (4,308) but holding their opposition to 22 passing touchdowns. Keenum and the Redskins are working with […]

The Kyler Murray Show Is Here

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a great matchup in his first NFL start against the Detroit Lions. The rookie will be surrounded by proven weapons, but with a subpar offensive line and a top defensive front from the Lions, anticipate Murray feeling some pressure. The Lions struggled against the pass last season and ranked […]

Sam Darnold Faces Tough Matchup Week 1

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will open his sophomore campaign with a tough matchup with the Bills. Last season, the Bills gave up the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and improved their defense via the draft. As for Darnold's weapons, tight end Chris Herndon will be out while serving his four-game […]

Trent Williams Won't Play Sunday

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams didn't show up to the team facility to practice with the team on Wednesday and he won't play on Sunday in Week 1 against the Eagles. Williams' contract holdout will continue at least into Week 1, but there's a chance he could rejoin the team ahead of Week 2. […]

Lamar Jackson Could Make Big Splash In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a favorable Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. As a mobile quarterback, Jackson's upside stems from his ability to move the ball on the ground and put points on the board all by himself. In 2018, he set the NFL record for most rush attempts in a season […]

Jacoby Brissett Should Be Faded In Week 1

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett is in a much better situation than he was when he joined the team two years ago. They have better pass-catchers and a better defense, and the offensive line is in much better shape now than it was then. He's an interesting option at quarterback this season. Despite that, he […]

Nick Foles Expected To Play Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (abdominal) will appear on the team's injury report on Wednesday due to soreness in his abdominal oblique from last week, but he's fully expected to play in Week 1 on Sunday against the Chiefs. Going up against KC's high-powered offense, Jacksonville could be forced to air it out right away […]

Cam Newton Not On Week 1 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report against the Rams. Head coach Ron Rivera said there's no reason to hold Newton back in the season opener. With injury concerns surrounding his foot and right shoulder, Newton's fantasy value dropped in drafts, but he still has the […]

Dak Prescott Sits on the QB1 Cusp in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a decent option in deeper leagues for Week 1. Taking on the New York Giants, Prescott is currently ranked right on the QB1/2 turn. The Giants Defense should be pretty good this season and with the focal points of the Dallas offense, Amari Cooper (foot) and Ezekiel Elliott (holdout/conditioning) […]
