Wild Card Round Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The NFL's regular season is over, but there's still daily fantasy for you to tackle, which means there are still players who need to be avoided when constructing those lineups because of bad matchups, poor recent play, and other factors. With eight teams playing this week, I've decided to highlight one guy from each team […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Wild Card Round

Carson Wentz Still Not Practicing

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) remains out of practice on Thursday. The Eagles are holding out hope that Wentz can play in the playoffs, but it won't be in the wild-card round against the Bears.

Mitch Trubisky Has Chance To Light Up Eagles

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will make his first ever playoff appearance against the Eagles this Sunday in the Wild Card Round. Trubisky finished the season on a high note despite failing to light up the fantasy scoreboard over the last month of the season. But he should see plenty of opportunities to take shots […]

Eli Manning's Future Up In The Air

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman isn't necessarily committed to keeping quarterback Eli Manning as the starter in 2019. "I'm committed to making the best decision in the interest of the Giants. We’re in the evaluation process. I know you want answers now," Gettleman said. Manning turns 38 on Thursday and is clearly fading […]

Lamar Jackson Scores Twice On The Ground

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 24 passes for 179 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Browns. The 21-year-old also added 90 yards and a season-high two touchdowns on 20 carries. It was one of the rookie's best passing performances this year. He tied his season high in completions, had his second-most […]

Matt Ryan Finishes 2018 With A Bang

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished out the 2018 season with a bang against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Ryan threw for 378 passing yards and two touchdowns on 31-of-44. However, Ryan made fantasy owners day when he caught a five yard touchdowns pass from Mohamed Sanu. That play took Ryan from a […]

Dan Quinn, Falcons Overhaul Coaching Staff

The Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Monday, according to sources. The Falcons were a huge disappointment on both sides of the ball in 2018. The issues on defense were mainly due to key injuries early in the season. The offense underachieved under […]

Steve Wilks Is One And Done In Arizona

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks told his staff on Monday that he will no longer be the head coach moving forward, according to sources. Wilks only got one season in the desert, but he did supply the organization with the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft after going 3-13 in 2018. To […]

Marcus Mariota Won't Need Surgery

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger) said he will not need offseason surgery to fix his nerve issues. Mariota didn't play in Week 17 after suffering a stinger and nerve damage in Week 16. He finishes 2018 with 2,528 yards (his fewest in four seasons), 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 games. The 25-year-old […]

Adam Gase Gets The Boot In Miami

The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Adam Gase after three seasons on Monday, according to a source. The team also promoted general manager Chris Grier to oversee football operations and reassigned Mike Tannenbaum, who was previously vice president of football operations. Gase didn't help his cause in the 42-17 Week 17 loss to the Bills. […]

Broncos Fire Vance Joseph

The Denver Broncos fired head coach Vance Joseph on Monday after their first back-to-back losing seasons since the early-70s, according to a source. Joseph spent only two years with Denver despite signing a four-year deal in 2017, and the Broncos went 5-11 in his first year and 6-10 in 2018. The Broncos were competitive against […]

Marvin Lewis Out In Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bengals have parted ways with head coach Marvin Lewis on Monday. Lewis had one season remaining on an extension that he signed last year, but the decision to part ways was mutual. The 60-year-old was the second longest tenured coach in the NFL behind Bill Belichick. Lewis had coached the Bengals for 16 […]

Derek Carr Ends Season On A Low Note

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr turned in a terrible performance to end the season against the Chiefs. Carr finished with only 185 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. These were his first interceptions since Week 5, which is a nice streak, but ultimately, a meaningless streak in a lackluster season. His fantasy value all season […]

Jameis Winston Will Return In 2019

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said that quarterback Jameis Winston will return as the starter in 2019. Winston had a three-game suspension to begin the 2018 season and was benched during the middle of the season for Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll only be 25 next week, however, and the Bucs think there is still […]

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Nick Foles (ribs) was "feeling good" on Monday morning and will start in the wild-card game against the Bears next weekend. Foles went 28-for-33 for 221 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the Week 17 win over the Redskins. He's thrown seven touchdowns and […]

Blake Bortles Struggles In Season Finale

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles played what is likely his final game as a Jacksonville Jaguar in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, finishing with 107 yards on 15-for-28 passing while adding 15 rushing yards on four carries. Where Bortles plays next season is a huge question mark, but it would be a surprise to […]

Andrew Luck Propels Colts to Playoffs with Big Game

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 24 of his 35 pass attempts for 285 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in a 33-17 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also added seven carries for 17 yards on the ground. While Luck threw an ugly pick-six in the second quarter to keep the Titans hopes alive, […]

Deshaun Watson Runs For Touchdown Against Jaguars

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson failed to pass for a touchdown for the first time all season in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he did score once as a runner. Watson passed for 234 yards while completing 25 of his 35 passing attempts. He added 66 yards on 13 carries as the Texans […]

Baker Mayfield Ends Season on a High Note

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield posted a solid stat line in his memorable close to a successful 2018 season. In the down-to-the-wire game versus the Baltimore Ravens, Mayfield threw for 378 yards and connected on three touchdowns, as well as three interceptions. This performance was against one of the league's top defenses and wraps up […]

Kirk Cousins Disappoints Against Chicago

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins struggled to get much done in a must-win game versus Chicago in Week 17. Cousins finished 20-for-33 with 132 passing yards and a touchdown in the 24-10 loss. Cousins had a fairly solid statistical season, throwing for 4,298 yards and 30 touchdowns with a 70 percent completion rating. His first […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott played all of Week 17's win over the New York Giants, completing 27 of his 44 pass attempts for 347 yards and four touchdowns.

Mitch Trubisky Guides Bears To Victory

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 18 of 26 passes for 163 yards in the Bears 24-10 win over the Vikings. The Bears opted for the ground-and-pound offense against their division rival but Trubisky was money converting several third down passes. One season removed from posting a 7:7-TD:INT ratio, Trubisky finishes the season completing 66.6% […]

Dirk Koetter Gone In Tampa

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers relieved head coach Dirk Koetter of his duties on Sunday after their Week 17 loss to the Falcons. Koetter was with the team for three seasons and finished his stint with a 19-29 record after going 5-11 in 2018. Koetter led the Bucs to their first winning season since 2010 when […]

Jets Fire Todd Bowles

The New York Jets fired head coach Todd Bowles on Sunday following their blowout Week 17 loss to the Patriots after his fourth season with the team. Bowles finishes with a 24-40 record in his time with Gang Green after going 10-6 in his first year in 2015. The Jets will be overhauling their coaching […]

Nick Foles Has Bruised Ribs

The Philadelphia Eagles believe quarterback Nick Foles (ribs) is dealing with bruised ribs after having to leave the Week 17 game against the Redskins in the fourth quarter, according to a source. However, Foles is believed to be OK. Nate Sudfeld entered the game late in the shutout win over Washington that got Philly into […]
