Best Ball Quarterback Rankings and Tiers
Best-ball drafts are winding down as the NFL season approaches. On the cusp of the biggest draft weekend of the year, we continue with our recently updated rankings and tiers by position. Quarterback is a different beast altogether in best-ball compared to typical redraft leagues. In many 10 or 12-team redraft leagues, you can get […]
Carson Wentz Ready for a Healthy 2019 Season
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz saw his quarterback room go through several changes during the preseason, but he himself should be all set to go for a healthy and productive 2019 season. Wentz played as many preseason snaps and you and I, but he's looking at another possible MVP-level campaign if he stays on the […]
Matthew Stafford Ready For Week 1
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy and ready for Week 1. Stafford's fantasy value has been similar the last couple of years, and will be the same this year: he's a solid real-life quarterback but isn't an excellent fantasy producer. He'll rack up some yards, a touchdown or two, and limit turnovers but likely […]
Jaguars Need Nick Foles To Succeed
On Saturday, NFL teams trimmed their rosters down, and the Jacksonville Jaguars chose to go with just two quarterbacks: veteran Nick Foles, who was signed in the offseason, and untested rookie Gardner Minshew. Minshew had a mediocre preseason and doesn't look ready to play serious NFL snaps, so the Jaguars will need Nick Foles to […]
Matt Ryan Primed For Another Monster Year
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been an elite fantasy quarterback two of the past three years, throwing for over 4,900 yards with 35+ touchdowns in both 2016 and 2018. This year, he figures to have another standout year with a strong supporting cast that features Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Devonta Freeman and Mohamed Sanu. […]
Brian Hoyer Released By Patriots
New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer has been released by the team. The veteran quarterback has been with the team the past two seasons as backup for Tom Brady. But rookie signal-caller Jarrett Stidham has looked impressive in the preseason and apparently has done enough to earn the backup job. Hoyer has never thrown a […]
Tom Brady Preps For 20th NFL Season
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will kick off his 20th NFL season next Sunday night against the Steelers. The Patriots offense has slowly been rounding into shape all camp and it appears they will be fully healthy for Week 1. Brady will head into the season at perhaps his lowest fantasy value since the […]
Mitch Trubisky Ready To Take Next Step
Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky's progress as a franchise player will be under the microscope when the team kicks off the NFL season Thursday September 5 against the Packers. For the second season in a row, Trubisky has not played a single preseason snap. Reports out of training camp have been mixed but most expect […]

DraftKings CFB Early DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 8/31/19
Here we go! The first big slate of 2019 is about to kickoff and the college football world couldn't be more excited. FanDuel and DraftKings have gone with very different approaches, with DraftKings taking the conventional split slate approach. FanDuel isn't even offering an early slate, with their main slate starting at noon and ending […]
Aaron Rodgers Starts With Tricky Matchup
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers starts his new campaign on the road against the Chicago Bears. The Packers offense is full of weapons, like elite receiver Davante Adams, but the Bears offense is one of the better units in the league. The Bears gave up around 13 points on average to the position and […]
Around the League Pop Quiz: NFC South
I've been a little jaded writing some of these articles, not for any reason other than wondering if the creeping feeling of "everyone is listening to/writing all of the same advice" was starting to creep in a little heavier. I had many of the same sleepers/avoids as Matthew Berry, I've been tending to agree with […]
Cody Kessler Waived By The Eagles
Quarterback Cody Kessler was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Kessler had a chance to win the Eagles backup job this preseason, but he suffered a concussion which led to the Eagles luring Josh McCown out of retirement. McCown easily won the backup job and will hold the clipboard for starter Carson Wentz. Kessler […]
Tim Boyle Limited In Final Preseason Matchup
Green Bay Packers quarterback Tim Boyle was limited in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Boyle ended the game, completing three of six attempts for 18 yards and a touchdown. Boyle has been impressive in the preseason but faces a battle with Deshone Kizer for the role behind Aaron Rodgers. Even if […]
DeShone Kizer Leads Team In Final Preseason Matchup
Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer led the team in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kizer finished the game completing eight of his 15 attempts for 77 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Kizer also added another 13 yards on the ground with one rush attempt. Kizer at this stage seems […]
Jarrett Stidham Finishes First Preseason Strong
New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham completed 18-of-28 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the team's final preseason game. The rookie took all of the snaps in the Patriots final tune-up before the regular season begins. Stidham has done well by himself this preseason, finishing the exhibition portion of the season […]
Rodney Hudson Becomes Highest-Paid Center
The Oakland Raiders signed center Rodney Hudson to a three-year, $33.75 million contract extension on Friday that will make him the league's highest-paid center, according to a source. The deal includes $24.4 million in guarantees. The 30-year-old pivot will make life much easier for both quarterback Derek Carr and rookie running back Josh Jacobs in […]
Texans Want Laremy Tunsil From Dolphins
The Houston Texans are offering Pro Bowl edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney in a proposed trade for Miami Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil, but the Dolphins are asking for more, according to two league sources. The Dolphins have asked the Texans for another high draft pick in addition to Clowney and a first-round pick. Clowney continues […]
Dolphins Name Ryan Fitzpatrick The Week 1 Starter
The Miami Dolphins have officially named quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick the Week 1 starter against the Ravens. Fitzpatrick underwhelmed in limited preseason action, but the rebuilding 'Phins are still electing to go with him under the younger Josh Rosen. Even in two-QB leagues, Fitzpatrick isn't a recommended option, and he'll have his hands full against a […]
Brett Rypien Makes Final Push For A Roster Spot
Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien had his last chance to make a push for a roster spot on Thursday evening, as the rookie out of Boise State is vying for the backup job to starter Joe Flacco. Rypien is coming off of a tough performance last week when he was given bulk duties, and improved, […]
Kevin Hogan Has Weak Performance Against Arizona
Denver Broncos quarterback Kevin Hogan struggled in the team's final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday evening. Hogan completed 52% of his passes, totaling 138 yards and one touchdown, to accompany a disappointing two interceptions. This was most definitely not the performance the Hogan was looking for as roster cuts loom, but regardless […]
Easton Stick Plays Terribly Against SF
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick is still officially in the running to make the team, but after Thursday's performance, it's hard to imagine how. Stick took over from Cardale Jones in the second half, and the entire offense fell apart. While Jones led four straight scoring drives to start the first half, Stick led […]
Cardale Jones Performs Well In Final Preseason Game
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones did everything he could to finish his sales pitch to the Chargers on Thursday night. Jones is clearly vying for the third spot on the roster as Philip Rivers and Tyrod Taylor appear to be locked in at No.1 and No. 2, and he looked like a solid choice […]
Russell Okung Out For Week 1
Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung (heart) will not be ready for Week 1 due to a pulmonary embolism, according to general manager Tom Telesco. Okung is a big loss for quarterback Philip Rivers' blind side, and tackle Trent Scott has been filling in for him. The 37-year-old has his back against the wall […]
Jared Goff Extension Talks Ongoing
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff remains in contract talks on a possible extension, and head coach Sean McVay said he's not worried about the talks becoming a distraction. Goff threw for 4,688 yards with 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2018. He also added two scores on the ground. The offense was decimated by […]
Joe Webb Expected To End Up On IR
Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb (foot) will likely be placed on the Injured Reserve, ending his season before it began. Webb was expected to be the team's third quarterback and also contribute on special teams, but now it looks like Houston will stick with Deshaun Watson and A.J. McCarron at the position. This news opens […]
Josh Allen Believes Bills Will Have "Special Year"
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen eagerly discussed the team's upcoming season in a recent Mad Dog Sports Radio interview. Allen said, "I love all the guys that we have on this team and I think it’s going to be a special year for us.” He also discussed how there was nothing more important to him […]
Dwayne Haskins Ends Preseason With A Touchdown
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins threw the team's only touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale, a seven-yard pass to Steven Sims Jr. in the first quarter. Haskins finished his evening with 10 completions on 17 attempts for 104 yards. Haskins rebounded nicely after a preseason opener in which he was picked off twice, throwing two touchdowns […]
Tom Savage Quiet In Week 4 Of Preseason
Detroit Lions quarterback Tom Savage played the entire first half of the Lions preseason finale against the Browns on Thursday night but was only able to complete five of nine passes for 33 yards. Prior to Savage's concussion in Week 1 of the preseason, he was the expected backup to Stafford, but with Josh Johnson […]
Josh Johnson Has Solid Preseason Finale
Detroit Lions quarterback Josh Johnson went 9-for-15 for 157 yards and a touchdown on Thursday night during the Lions preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns. Johnson has been fighting for a roster spot and his solid performance will make the Lions quarterback depth chart hard to finalize. Johnson is not a fantasy option moving into […]
