Lamar Jackson To Throw 30 Passes A Game
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson led all quarterbacks in rushing attempts in 2018 and it wasn't even close. Jackson rushed 147 times in his debut season; the runner up was Deshaun Watson who had 97 rushing attempts. "Probably throwing, probably 30 passes a game," Jackson told Mad Dog Sports Radio on Monday. "Running, I probably […]
Josh Allen Likely To Sit Out Final Preseason Game
The Buffalo Bills are expected to start rookie quarterback Tyree Jackson for Thursday night's preseason finale when they host the Minnesota Vikings. This means starter Josh Allen's next game will be in Week 1 in New York to face the Jets. Allen has looked admirable through the first three preseason games, throwing for 217 yards, […]
Sam Darnold Out For Preseason Finale
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold won't play in the team's final preseason game against the Eagles. This was expected as it is common for teams to sit their starters in the fourth preseason game but head coach Adam Gase said some expected starters would play. Darnold finishes the preseason 17-for-25 for 211 yards and […]
Lions Sign Luis Perez
Free-agent quarterback Luis Perez has signed with the Detroit Lions. Perez has played in the AAF and had a one-month stint with the Eagles earlier this year. Perez will fall into the fourth spot on the Lions quarterback depth chart with Stafford, Josh Johnson and Tom Savage ahead of him. With Savage just back from injury […]
David Fales Released By Lions
Free-agent quarterback David Fales has been released by the Detroit Lions. Fales has had a fairly lackluster preseason after quarterback Tom Savage went down with a concussion in Week 1 of the preseason. Fales had an opportunity to prove himself but was just unable to earn a roster spot. Savage has returned to practice, and […]
Panthers Convinced Cam Newton Will Play In Week 1
Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that "there's no doubt in my mind" that quarterback Cam Newton (foot) will be ready for Week 1 against the Rams. Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third preseason game, but he should be ready to suit up for the regular season opener. Coming off a second […]
Ben Roethlisberger To Sit Out Thursday Night's Preseason Game
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not play in the team's final preseason game on Thursday against the Carolina Panthers. The signal caller started Sunday night's dress rehearsal against the Titans and finished 8 for 13 with 63 yards and a touchdown to JuJu Smith-Schuster. At 37 years old, Roethlisberger has been through enough game […]
Remembering Andrew Luck: A Fantasy Football Eulogy
We are gathered here today, thankfully, not to say goodbye to a man, but only his fantasy football persona. We hope Andrew Luck lives a long and joyful life in his post-NFL playing career and wish him the best. At the same time, we as a community mourn the loss of his statistical contributions, especially […]
Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]
Nate Sudfeld Could Draw Interest from Indianapolis
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld could draw interest from the suddenly quarterback-needy Indianapolis Colts. The Colts tried to get Sudfeld from the Eagles practice squad in 2017 so there is known interest in the former sixth-round pick. Sudfeld played his college ball in Indiana and has a relationship with Colts coach Frank Reich. Sudfeld was […]
David Andrews' Season In Jeopardy
New England Patriots center David Andrews (lungs) has been hospitalized with a blood clot in his lung, and his 2019 season is now in jeopardy. Andrews is an underrated part of New England's offensive line, so his absence is definitely a downgrade to the Pats backfield and for veteran quarterback Tom Brady.
Weston Richburg Removed From PUP List
San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday afternoon. For the first time since his knee surgery in January, Richburg practiced with the team. His return strengthens the 49ers' offensive line. Fantasy-wise, upgrade the entire 49ers offense, with each respective position player benefiting from potential […]
Zack Martin, Tyron Smith Still Sidelined With Back Injuries
Per head coach Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys offensive linemen Zack Martin and Tyron Smith remain unable to practice due to back injuries. Keep a close eye on both of their Week 1 availability; if either is inactive for the Cowboys opening contest against the Giants, lower the expected fantasy floor for whoever starts at running […]
Patrick Mahomes Hasn't Missed A Beat
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play well in the preseason. Mahomes has completed 14-of-19 passing attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games. He was an elite fantasy option last year, so it seemed unlikely that he could be that good again. However, Mahomes might actually be super human […]
Chad Henne Suffers Broken Ankle
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) will undergo surgery for a broken ankle on Tuesday. Henne was injured in the preseason game against the 49ers on Saturday and will obviously miss a big chunk of time. As a result, the Chiefs signed veteran Matt Moore to be Patrick Mahomes backup to begin the season. […]

Trent Williams Unlikely To Be Traded
Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (head) is unlikely to be traded, according to head coach Jay Gruden. Williams has had several surgeries to remove a non-cancerous tumor on his head, but he is healthy and available to play. Williams is embattled with the team's medical staff and appears unwilling to play for the team. […]
Matt Moore Signs With Chiefs
Free-agent quarterback Matt Moore, who was most recently with the Miami Dolphins, signed an undisclosed deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. Moore will replace quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' backup. Henne was lost over the weekend due to a fractured right ankle. Mahomes is the No. 1 quarterback in fantasy, […]
Cam Newton Working on the Side
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) worked on the side with trainers in practice Monday. Newton is dealing with a mid-foot sprain, but his activity level is encouraging. Before the injury, Newton was already a shaky QB1 option in fantasy because he's not the same player after the shoulder injury. A mid-foot sprain could be […]
Indianapolis Colts 2019 Outlook: Out of Luck
The Andrew Luck era is over for Indianapolis. I only have one word to say about how I feel about Luck calling it a career: Respect. No anger. No malice. Just Respect. While some players cry about player safety yet do nothing about it, Luck took a stand and realized his life was most important. […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We’re intentionally sidestepping the term “sleeper" because I don’t want to get wrapped up in debates over these guys not being “under the radar” enough. I may still throw it into the SEO field, though...no regrets. Instead, let’s discuss some late-round fliers that are […]
Marcus Mariota Ineffective In Limited Action
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed none of his three passes and was sacked for a safety in just two drives in the team's Week 3 preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The entire Titans offense looked out of sync in this one, only scoring six points on the night. While this was not the […]
Joshua Dobbs Throws For 79 Yards With An Interception
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs finished four of nine for 79 yards and an interception in Sunday's preseason win over Tennessee. Dobbs also rushed for 10 yards on five attempts. The third-year signal caller is fighting with Mason Rudolph to back up Ben Roethlisberger. In the preseason, he's thrown for 259 yards and two interceptions […]
Mason Rudolph Continues Strong Preseason
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed six of nine passes for 75 yards, including a touchdown and an interception, in Sunday's preseason win over the Titans. Rudolph connected with James Washington for a 41-yard touchdown, their second time in as many games. The second-year man out of Oklahoma State is vying to become Ben Roethlisberger's […]
Ben Roethlisberger Connects For Touchdown
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finished six of 13 for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-6 preseason win over the Titans. Roethlisberger connected with JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The score ended the 37-year-old's day after three drives. This is likely all we will see of Roethlisberger this […]
Daniel Jones To Start for Giants On Thursday
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur stated that Eli Manning will get some rest, allowing Daniel Jones to start Thursday’s preseason finale against the New England Patriots. While this will be an opportunity to energize the Giants fanbase with another preview of their future, there is likely nothing to see here from a fantasy […]

Cardale Jones Nails 31-Yard Pass
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones seems like he's clearly third in the pecking order for the quarterback job at this point, but that didn't stop him from racking up the biggest single gain in Saturday night's game against the Seahawks. Jones threw a bullet to Artavis Scott late in the second quarter, and after […]
Tyrod Taylor Accurate During First Half
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor got some more time as the starter on Saturday against the Seahawks since the Chargers decided to sit most of their regular starters, including Philip Rivers. Taylor went 6-for-9 for 61 yards and carried the ball six times for another 34 yards, leading the team in rushing attempts and […]
Easton Stick Leads Comeback Effort
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick led his team on the comeback trail on Saturday night against the Seahawks, but he came up just short as the team lost by eight. Stick went 12-for-16, completing 75% of his passes, but he only tallied 82 yards. He did throw a touchdown and ran another one in, […]
