Joe Flacco Doubtful Against Atlanta
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) practiced in full on Friday but is doubtful for Week 13 against the Falcons. Flacco could return in Week 14, but even then the Ravens might decide to just keep rolling with rookie Lamar Jackson, especially if he leads the team to another win this weekend. Flacco's upside is […]
Marcus Mariota Looking To Stay Hot In Week 13
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota enters Week 13 coming off of one of the best statistical performances of his career, completing 22 of 23 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns against the Houston Texans. When given time, Mariota has been a very efficient quarterback this season. Unfortunately, he has already been sacked 35 times […]
Cordy Glenn Doubtful Against Broncos
Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (back) is doubtful for Week 13 against the Broncos. Glenn's replacement, Jake Fisher, was put on Injured Reserve on Thursday, so Cincy is hurting on the left side of the line. It's bad news for backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and good news for a Broncos defense that is worth […]
Sam Darnold, Robby Anderson Questionable
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) are both questionable for Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold returned to QB drills this week, but with Josh McCown (back, hand) taken off the injury report, it seems likely that Darnold will rest up for one more week before returning […]
Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 13
Week 12 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. A couple of rookies in Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield cracked the top five at the quarterback position, which was headline by Deshaun Watson's 29.4 points. Christian McCaffrey exploded for 46.7 […]
Matt Ryan A Startable Option Despite Tough Matchup
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should still be capable of having a solid fantasy day against the Baltimore Ravens, despite it being a tough matchup Sunday. Ryan is having a nice season, especially at home where he is completed nearly 76% of his passes and has thrown 15 touchdowns to just two interceptions. Home field […]
Dak Prescott Leads the Cowboys to a Thursday Night Win
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to a 13-10 upset win over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. Prescott completed 24 of his 28 pass attempts for 248 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball five times for 22 additional yards. Prescott fumbled twice, with the Cowboys only able […]
Drew Brees Shut Down By Cowboys
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 18 of 28 passes for only 127 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Saints 13-10 loss to the Cowboys. Brees was under seige the entire game and his offensive line constantly put him in tough positions to make plays. The Saints 10-game winning streak was snapped […]
Josh Rosen Expected To Struggle In Week 13
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen is expected to struggle against an underrated Packers defense. The rookie quarterback has largely disappointed this year as he learns to adjust to the NFL game. Rosen should not be started outside of the deepest leagues and is a low-end QB2 for the week.
Tyron Smith Inactive Thursday Night
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is inactive on Thursday night against the Saints. Smith was a game-time decision but will end up missing his second straight game. He was active in Week 12 but didn't play at all. Cameron Fleming will replace him at left tackle. Smith's absence is a downgrade for Dallas' […]
Tom Brady Has Stingy Battle Against Vikings In Week 13
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will go up against a Vikings defense in Week 13 that is allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Brady has been disappointing from a fantasy perspective this season and has posted only two multiple touchdown performances over his last six games. His QB rating is currently […]
Charles Clay, Derek Anderson Limited Thursday
Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) and quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Clay hasn't played since Nov. 4 but appears to be on track for a return against the Dolphins in Week 13. Clay has been a non-factor in real life and in fantasy all year, though, so […]
Chase Daniel No More Than A QB2 Against Giants
Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel is in line to start his second straight game in Week 13 against the Giants. Starter Mitch Trubisky is still limited with a right shoulder injury so Daniel will get another game under center. The veteran backup played admirably on Thanksgiving against the Lions, completing 27 of 37 passes for […]
Mitch Trubisky Still Not Throwing
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) is still not throwing despite being limited in practice on Wednesday. It was announced on Thursday that the Bears will hold Trubisky out for the second straight game. Barring setbacks, he should be ready to return in Week 14. Chase Daniel will get […]
Joe Flacco Seen Practicing Thursday
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) returned to practice on Thursday after missing the session on Wednesday. Flacco has been out since Nov. 4 and could be held out another week with rookie Lamar Jackson giving the team more upside at the position, especially with his running and scrambling ability. Even if Flacco returns this […]
Tyron Smith Looking Unlikely For Thursday
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (elbow, neck) is looking unlikely to play on Thursday night against the Saints, as a source says "it's not looking good." Smith is listed as questionable and is a game-time decision. Cameron Fleming will start on quarterback Dak Prescott's blind side if Smith is unable to play. Not having […]
Sam Darnold Hopeful To Return In Week 13
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is hopeful that he can return to play in Week 13 against the Titans after taking part in positional drills on Wednesday for the first time since straining his right foot in Week 9. “Coming back after today and actually practicing on it, being on it today […]
Bears To Hold Mitch Trubisky Out For Second Straight Week
The Chicago Bears plan to rest quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) for the second straight game in Week 13 against the Giants despite the fact that he was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to sources. Trubisky could play right now, but the team wants to play it safe. Chase Daniel will get his second straight […]

Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Nick Mullens Living On Short Leash
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens retained the starting job in Week 13 by a hair. After poor play for a second straight week, Mullens was criticized by head coach Kyle Shanahan leading up to Sunday’s matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks rank about average in pass rush, which has given Mullens fits over […]
Matthew Stafford Has Tough Matchup On Sunday
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was flat out bad on Thanksgiving, throwing for just 236 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions against the Bears. This week he gets to face one of the fiercest pass-rush defenses in the NFL, the LA Rams. While the Lions will be at home again, Stafford will be without Marvin […]
Josh McCown Limited Wednesday
New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown (back, hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Rookie Sam Darnold (foot) also returned to a limited practice, but it seems likely that McCown will see at least one more start before Darnold is allowed to return to starting duties. The veteran journeyman went 26-for-45 for 276 yards, a […]
Cam Newton A Must-Start This Week
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a must-start this week. Newton comes off the back of an impressive performance against the Seattle Seahawks to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are one of the worst teams in the league at defending the position. Newton faced up against the Buccaneers in Week 9 and finished the […]
Sam Darnold Taking Part In QB Drills
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is taking part in QB drills on Wednesday for the first time since his injury. Darnold hasn't played since Nov. 4 and there remains no timetable for his return, but this looks like good progress. Don't expect Darnold to return in Week 13 against the Titans, but […]
Joe Flacco Among Ravens Not Practicing Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and doesn't seem to be on track to face the Falcons in Week 13. Rookie Lamar Jackson has been inconsistent in his three starts in place of Flacco, but he offers way more upside in […]
Carson Wentz Looks to Get Back on Track in Week 13
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has had back-to-back rough games and will look to right the ship on Monday Night Football against Washington. In a division rivalry game that is shaping up as a must-win for the Eagles, Wentz is likely to bring his best. The Washington defense has allowed the opposing quarterback to finish […]
Mitch Trubisky Not Expected To Practice Wednesday
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said he does not expect quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) to practice on Wednesday. Trubisky didn't play on Thanksgiving last Thursday but is expected to return in Week 13 to face the Giants, but his week isn't off to a good start. As long as Trubisky returns in some capacity […]
Patrick Mahomes Has Favorable Matchup Against Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a favorable matchup against the shaky Raiders pass defense in Week 13. Mahomes has been a stud all year and has thrown four touchdowns or more in six games this season. The Raiders defense has allowed 25 passing touchdowns this season which is the second most in the […]
