49ers Evaluating QB Position
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Nick Mullens didn't play very well in his first career road start in a Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers. Shanahan also said he will continue to evaluate the quarterback position between Mullens and C.J. Beathard. Mullens went 18-for-32 for 221 yards with a touchdown […]
Aaron Rodgers Unable To Win Yet Again
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had yet another rough week against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. The loss brought the chances of the Packers making the playoffs down to just 3%. Rodgers threw 17 completions on 28 attempts and had only one touchdown to go along with 198 yards. Rodgers will face an […]
Josh McCown Has Lackluster Start Versus Pats
New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown was not efficient in the 27-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 12. McCown finished 26-for-45 and 276 passing yards with a touchdown and interception. The Jets were forced to throw the ball often without much of a run game at all. Sadly, McCown and his receivers were not […]
Jeff Driskel Plays Well Off The Bench
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel was forced to come in and start for Andy Dalton (thumb) during Sunday's loss to the Browns. Dalton left early during Week 12 after suffering a sprained thumb while diving for a ball. Driskel played surprisingly well in the absence of Dalton. He went 17-for-29 with 155 passing yards and […]
Andy Dalton Exits Early During Week 12
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) injured his thumb on Sunday while diving for the ball after a bad snap. Dalton has been diagnosed with a sprained thumb and is considered day-to-day. He went 10-for-17 with 100 passing yards with a touchdown and one interception before exiting. Dalton's status for Week 13 is unclear, but […]
Russell Wilson Leads Comeback Victory For Seattle
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson stayed calm and guided the team to a comeback win over the Panthers on Sunday. Though he was held without a touchdown pass in the first half, Wilson calmly threw two in the second half, including a 35-yard strike to David Moore on a 4th-and-3 to tie the game. Wilson […]
Philip Rivers Sets Record In Dominant Win
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed his first 25 passes in a row in Sunday's game against Arizona, setting a new NFL mark. He'd finish the day 28-for-29 for 259 yards and three touchdowns as LA routed the Cards. Rivers is a quiet front-runner for the MVP award this season, and he's having the […]
Josh Rosen Disappoints In Week 12
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen disappointed in the team's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Rosen only completed 12 of 19 passes for 105 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, as his team was completely played off the field. Rosen should be considered a low-end QB2 going forward due to the poor offense around […]
Carson Wentz Underwhelms in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz put in a workmanlike performance in Week 12 against the New York Giants. He completed 20 of his 28 passes for 236 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles ended up with a comeback win, but Wentz was underwhelming in what should have been a prime spot. He's gone two straight […]
Andrew Luck Continues to Produce Against Miami
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 30 of his 37 passes for 343 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 27-24 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Luck now finds himself as the third player in NFL history to throw for at least three touchdowns in eight consecutive games. Despite throwing two interceptions […]
Kirk Cousins Responds With Great Performance In Week 12
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins rebounded in a big way during Week 12. Cousins was 29-for-38 with 342 yards and three touchdowns during a 24-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He desperately needed a solid performance after three straight mediocre showings. Cousins was poised and aggressive in this contest. He received support from his […]
Blake Bortles Has Another Poor Game
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles continues to struggle, going 12-for-23 passing the ball in Sunday's loss to the Bills and finishing with 127 yards, a touchdown, and a pair of interceptions. Bortles has now finished with single-digit fantasy points in three of the last five games, and it's time to worry about Bortles long and […]
Jameis Winston Shines Against Lowly 49ers
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played as well as anyone could ask of him in Week 12. Although the competition wasn't exactly stiff, he instilled hope by starting and finishing the game. Winston racked up 312 passing yards, 24 rushing yards, and two touchdowns Sunday and will look to keep up the good work next week […]
Andy Dalton Has Sprained Thumb
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) was diagnosed with a sprained right thumb after X-rays came up negative, according to a team source. Dalton left the game in the second half of the Week 12 blowout loss to the Browns after falling on a bad snap. Head coach Marvin Lewis said the tests didn't show […]
Ben Roethlisberger Racks Up 462 Passing Yards
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 41 of his 56 pass attempts for 462 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. It could have been a much different outing for the quarterback as he was stopped at the Denver three-yard line on a 12-yard run during the […]
Case Keenum Tosses Two TD Passes in Broncos Win
Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum completed 15 of 28 pass attempts for 197 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos 24-17 victory over the Steelers Sunday. Keenum's inefficient season continues -- he's now completed less than 65-percent of his pass attempts in nine of 11 games with the 197 passing yards marking the third time […]
Ryan Tannehill Tosses Two Touchdowns In Return
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill played well in his return in Miami's 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. He went 17-for-25 passing for 204 yards and two touchdowns. He was out-dueled by Andrew Luck, but that's to be expected. Tannehill should offer an upgrade to Miami receivers over Ryan Tannehill, but he didn't target […]
Lamar Jackson Improves To 2-0 As Starter
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 178 yards along with one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-17 victory over the Raiders. He added 71 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. It is the Ravens second straight win with the rookie under center, but the game demonstrated how […]
Derek Carr Brings No Fantasy Value
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr posted next to no fantasy value in Sunday's road loss against the Ravens. Carr ended with only 194 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. This has been his level of production nearly all season and has yet to show any true upside. The Raiders' receiving core is dealing with significant […]
Baker Mayfield Has Career Day Versus Bengals
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield shined in the Browns road trip to Cincinnati, as he posted a career-best game that contributed to a 35-20 victory for the Dog Pound. The rookie signal-caller torched a struggling Bengals defense for 258 passing yards while completing 19 of his 26 passes, distributing the rock nicely as he connected […]
Nick Mullens Stalls In Week 12
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was just 18-for-32 with 221 passing yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Week 12’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Excluding running back Matt Breida, the Niners offense fell flat against one of the worst defenses in football. Mullens was harassed all day, absorbing four sacks and unable […]
Cam Newton Continues Touchdown Streak In Loss
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton continued his streak of scoring multiple passing touchdowns this week in the Panthers loss to the Seahawks. Newton threw 30 attempts, completing 25 of them for 258 yards for two touchdowns and an interception. Newton also rushed for 63 yards in the contest. Newton will be targeting another big week […]
Tom Brady Notches New Milestone In Win
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 20 of 31 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots 27-13 win. Brady became the NFL"s all-time leader in total passing yards (regular season and playoffs combined), surpassing Peyton Manning and now has 79.416 passing yards in his career. Few things break Brady out of […]
Eli Manning's Poor Second Half Dooms Giants
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 26 of 37 passes for 297 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Giants 25-22 loss to the Eagles. The Giants mustered only three points in the second half after Manning tore through the Eagles secondary to start this must-win game. It has been a brutal […]
Andy Dalton Injured Sunday
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) left the game in the second half in Week 12 against the Browns and is questionable to return with a right thumb injury. It's unlikely that Dalton returns in what was already a blowout in Cleveland's favor. Dalton was 10-for-17 for only 100 yards with a touchdown and interception […]
Derek Anderson, Charles Clay Out In Week 12
Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) and tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 12 against the Jaguars. Anderson was limited in practice all week, so he's clearly making progress. However, he'll merely be an insurance policy under center with rookie Josh Allen back in action. Matt Barkley will be Allen's […]
Joe Flacco Out Again In Week 12
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Raiders. Flacco missed practice all week, and it's unclear when he'll be able to start again. Rookie Lamar Jackson threw for 150 yards and an interception in last week's win over the Bengals but ran 26 times for 119 yards. He's […]
Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Active
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (knee, illness), tight end Rob Gronkowski (back, ankle) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are all active for Week 12 against the Jets. It's a bit odd that all three were questionable coming off their bye week, but they will play and should be in everyone's lineups. Brady […]
Week 12 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis
We haven't seen the Oilers in action since 1998, but they're still very alive in my heart. Warren Moon was one of my favorite players as a kid, and their uniforms/color combination might just be the most iconic to ever grace a football field. In case you're too young to remember, the Oilers played in […]
NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 12) - Targets and Avoids
Week 11 was capped off by one of the greatest offensive showcases in NFL history. Rams-Chiefs looked more like a Big 12 game than an NFL game and it was sure fun to watch. Bill Parcells used to say, Thanksgiving is the time when you find out which teams are for real, and which ones aren't. Now we […]
