Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will look to start his second season under head coach Jon Gruden off on the right note as the team squares off against the Broncos on Monday.

Nick Foles Should Be Solid In Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles will make his Jags debut at home on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a solid performance from the former Super Bowl champion. The Chiefs boast the NFL's best offense and also one of the most shaky defensive secondaries, a situation that should lead to a […]

Drew Brees Still A QB1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has still got it. The 40-year-old is a QB1 and when he plays against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football, expect nothing but greatness. Brees has arguably the best receiver/running back combination in the league with Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. The Saints are playing at home in […]

Kirk Cousins Worth A Look As Week 1 Streamer

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins could be a sneaky play in Week 1, squaring off at home against an Atlanta Falcons Defense that was obliterated in 2018.

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (ankle) should be able to suit up for Week 1 against the Cardinals after practicing on Tuesday for the first time since getting injured in the preseason game on Aug. 23.

Trent Williams Could Return For Week 2

According to a source, Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams could return as soon as Week 2. Williams has been disgruntled with the team's medical staff and their handling of his injuries, but it appears he's not ready to miss too many game checks in the 2019 regular season. Williams would surely like to be […]

Kerryon Johnson Primed For Excellent Week 1

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is healthy and primed for a big Week 1 performance against a Cardinals Defense that let up 154.9 rushing yards per game last season, which ranked last (32nd) in the NFL.

La'el Collins Lands Five-Year Extension

The Dallas Cowboys signed right tackle La'el Collins to a five-year extension worth $50 million on Tuesday, according to sources. Dallas' offensive line is one of the better units in the leagues, and Collins is a big reason for that. His presence on the right side in a Cowboys uniform through the 2024 season is […]

Matthew Stafford A QB2 Option For Week 1

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford draws a decent matchup in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals Defense allowed a mid-of-the-road 205 passing yards per game last year.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will begin his 16th season as the team's signal caller on Sunday night against the New England Patriots.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will be the team’s primary backup, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. Both Mullens and CJ Beathard made the 53-man roster on Sunday but the Niners rightfully anointed Mullens their No. 2 behind starter Jimmy Garoppolo.

CJ Beathard And Nick Mullens Both Make Team

The San Francisco 49ers kept both quarterbacks CJ Beathard and Nick Mullens on the 53-man roster. It’s undecided who will be primary backup to starter Jimmy Garoppolo.

Passing on Passers - A Case For Drafting Your QB1 Late

We all know that Patrick Mahomes, in his second season as an NFL player and his first as a full-time starter, broke a record set in 2013 by the very own Peyton Manning.

Andy Dalton is coming off of his worst statistical year in the NFL in which he threw for 2,566 yards in just eleven games thanks in large part to a thumb injury during a week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns...Or, at least that is what some of the narratives read. In reality, Andy Dalton […]
