Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off the bye, the Broncos and quarterback Case Keenum will have to figure out how to get Courtland Sutton more involved and utilize the receivers they have now that Demaryius Thomas is in Houston. Their Week 11 opponent, the L.A. Chargers, allow an average of 254 passing […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another QB you want to part of, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning still warrants consideration for those needing a temporary fix. He gets the Bucs at home, which should equal fantasy gold (forget what Alex Smith did this week - he doesn't count). […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles had a solid fantasy day in Week 10, putting up 21.6 points in a loss to Indianapolis. He draws another good matchup in Week 11, taking on Pittsburgh at home. The Steelers have allowed 20.2 fantasy points per game […]

Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was added in some leagues ahead of Sunday’s action as it was revealed that Joe Flacco might miss Week 11. Flacco was on crutches during the bye week, and as of writing, this has not received an official timetable for return. […]

Josh Rosen (QB, ARI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen was a little disappointing in Week 10 against the Chiefs, but in a week where many two-quarterback league types are on bye Rosen could make for a solid desperation streamer. Rosen has had exactly one good game this year, […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Titans shocked the Patriots this week with a commanding 34-10 win at home. Mariota put up 21.82 points in the victory, making it his second straight game with greater than 20 points. Before the bye week Mariota […]

Nick Mullens Falls Back To Earth

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens completed 27 of 39 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 10’s loss to the New York Giants. Mullens’ final stat line is uninspiring but he played well and continued to demonstrate command of the offense. His touchdown was an 11-yard connection with running back […]

Bills Release Nathan Peterman

The Buffalo Bills released quarterback Nathan Peterman on Monday. Peterman has been so bad that the Bills went with Matt Barkley over him in Week 10. Barkley was serviceable in the win, but Buffalo is hoping that rookie Josh Allen (elbow) will be ready to face the Jaguars in Week 12. In four games for […]

Ravens In Thick Of AFC Playoff Hunt

The Baltimore Ravens are still in the thick of the AFC playoff race despite having lost three straight games to fall to 4-5 on the season. The Ravens are just one game out of the sixth and final playoff spot, as they trail Cincinnati (5-4), Tennessee ( 5-4) and Miami (5-5). ESPN Power Index Ratings […]

Brandon Linder Heading To IR

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that center Brandon Linder (knee) is going to Injured Reserve and will have season-ending surgery. An already weakened Jags offensive line gets even worse as they lose one of the NFL's most productive centers. It's bad news for running back Leonard Fournette and the […]

Ravens Not Committing To Joe Flacco In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh isn't committing to quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) for Week 11 against the Bengals. "He's getting treatment. We'll see. We'll know more as the week goes on. I'm hopefully all of our guys play, including Joe," Harbaugh said. It's a bit surprising with the Ravens coming off their bye week, but […]

Brandon Linder To Miss Time

Jacksonville Jaguars center Brandon Linder (knee) suffered a knee injury in Week 10 that will keep him out in Week 11 and possibly beyond, according to sources. Linder is undergoing tests on Monday that will hopefully give us a better timetable for his return. He is one of the more effective centers in the league, […]

Bills Still Have Confidence In Nathan Peterman

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he remains confident in quarterback Nathan Peterman. Peterman was passed over for Matt Barkley in the Week 10 blowout win over the Jets. Barkley threw for 232 yards and two touchdowns. With rookie Josh Allen (elbow) potentially returning to the starting gig after the Week 11 bye, both […]

Todd Bowles Not Expected To Be Fired In Season

The New York Jets are not expected to make a decision on head coach Todd Bowles until after the season, according to sources. The Jets got embarrassed by the Bills in Week 10, losing 41-10 at home, so Bowles is firmly on the hot seat. Whether the team's brass thinks he can successfully develop rookie […]

Sam Darnold Up In The Air For Week 12

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said it's too early to tell if quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) will be ready to face the Patriots after the Week 11 bye. However, Bowles has confirmed that Darnold is out of his walking boot. Darnold should be considered week-to-week for now, but hopefully he'll make enough progress […]

Bucs Sticking With Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in Week 11 against the Giants. Fitzpatrick went 29-for-41 for 406 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins, but Tampa still thinks he gives them a better chance at winning than Jameis Winston. Against the […]

Blake Bortles Tosses Two Touchdowns Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 320 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 26 of his 38 passing attempts and didn't turn the ball over. The embattled quarterback also added eight yards on the ground. It's been an up and down year for Bortles, who […]

Matt Barkley Performs Well In First Start

Buffalo Bills quarterback Matt Barkley led the team to a dominating win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Barkley is the Bills fourth quarterback this season and was replacing the injured Josh Allen and Derek Anderson. On Sunday he went 15-for-25 for 232 yards and two touchdowns. It’s also worth noting the Bills quarterback […]

Marcus Mariota Efficient In Week 10

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 16 of 24 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns during a blowout win over the New England Patriots in Week 10. He picked up 21 yards on the ground and hauled in one reception for 21 yards. Mariota has put together three straight solid performances and has delivered […]

Andy Dalton Throws Two Picks Against New Orleans

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had a day to forget against the Saints, finishing things up with 153 passing yards and two interceptions in the 51-14 loss. Though he managed to throw a touchdown pass to wide receiver John Ross, the team was relegated to just a little over 20 minutes of possession time against […]

Week 10 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

For some, it's birth. Other's may come in the form of an experience. There are even those few (my aunt) who fall in that weird, I just like their colors category. But, every sports fan has that defining moment which determines "their team". Mine came January 27, 1991 - the infamous Scott Norwood, "wide right" […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Throws For 400 Yards in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had no trouble moving the ball on offense, but failed to capitalize when it mattered most. Fitzpatrick finished 29-for-41 with 406 passing yards and zero touchdowns with two interceptions. He also rushed for 35 yards on eight attempts. Fitzpatrick fumbled on 2nd and goal and threw one of his […]

Carson Wentz Throws Two Touchdowns in Week 10

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 32 of his 44 passes on Sunday night, scoring two touchdowns and totaling 360 yards. Wentz also threw an interception.

Patrick Mahomes is Efficient in Week 10

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued his MVP type season on Week 10 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Mahomes finished 21-for-28 with 249 passing yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions in the 26-14 victory. It's the first time since Week 1 that Mahomes has failed to throw for at least 300 yards in a […]

Dak Prescott Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 26 of his 36 pass attempts on Sunday night, totaling 270 yards. He threw one touchdown and ran another one in.

Baker Mayfield Tosses Three TDs In Surprise Win

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in an excellent performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Mayfield completed 17 of 20 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns in his team's 28-16 upset win. The rookie quarterback was exceptional all afternoon, completing all 12 of his pass attempts in the first half, including a […]

Derek Carr And The Offense Comes Up Short Again

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr struggled to do anything significant in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Carr finished with just 243 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions, all while exuding inconsistency with the offense. This now makes three times in the last four games where he has not recorded a touchdown. At this point in […]

Aaron Rodgers Takes Back Seat In Week 10

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers saw a relatively light workload against the Miami Dolphins in Week 10. Green Bay’s offensive game plan revolved around the running game and running back Aaron Jones. This resulted in Rodgers throwing for 199 yards with two touchdowns on 19-for-28 throwing. Rodgers looked good in the game. Compared to […]

Philip Rivers Efficient In Win Over Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed 18 of 26 passes for 223 yards, two touchdowns and one pick in Sunday's victory over the Oakland Raiders. It wasn't the over-the-top performance his fantasy investors were hoping for, but Rivers got the job done nonetheless. Rivers has somewhat quietly put together one of the best seasons […]

Brock Osweiler Turns In Another Poor Performance

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler gave a lackluster performance in Miami's 31-12 Week 10 loss to Green Bay. He was 23-37 passing for 213 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception. Osweiler was off-target on deep throws and docile in the pocket, unwilling to take chances or play with aggression. On one of the rare […]
