Josh McCown To Start Against Bills

With New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) dealing with a foot sprain, veteran Josh McCown will get the start in Week 10 against the Bills, according to a source. Darnold will be re-evaluated after the Week 11 bye, but his status for Week 12 is "uncertain" for now. Consider Darnold week-to-week for now. […]

Tom Brady Has Stingy Matchup Against Titans

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will face a stiff Titans defense in Week 10. Tennessee is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season and have not allowed a single passer to throw for more than two touchdowns against them. Brady is having a fantastic season but, from a fantasy perspective, […]

Mitch Trubisky Lacks Top-10 Value For Week 10

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will go up against a Lions defense that is allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to opposing passers. Detroit has allowed multiple touchdown passes in four of their last five games but have done a solid job in limiting yards in the air. It has been a positive season for […]

Ryan Tannehill Eyeing Week 12 Return

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will not play in Week 10 against the Packers, but the team will be on their bye next week and the goal is for Tannehill to return in Week 12 against the Colts. The Dolphins always expected Tannehill to play again this year, so […]

Sam Darnold Week-To-Week With Foot Sprain

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is dealing with a sprained foot and is week-to-week, according to a source. Darnold will not play in Week 10 against the Bills, but it might be a blessing in disguise, as he's been awful in the last three games and tossed four interceptions in an ugly […]

Sam Darnold In Walking Boot

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) has a walking boot on his right foot and is not practicing on Wednesday. Darnold said he was "fine" on Monday after admitting after the Week 9 loss that he was "dinged up." That wouldn't seem to bode well for Darnold's chances of playing in Week 10 […]

Leonard Fournette, Blake Bortles To Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), quarterback Blake Bortles (shoulder) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are all expected to practice on Wednesday. Fournette hasn't seen game action since Sept. 30, but he's expected to be back this weekend against the Colts. While the Jags are likely to ease him into a full workload, […]

Jets Don't Think Sam Darnold Has Regressed

Despite New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold's recent struggles, the team doesn't feel like he has regressed since the beginning of the season. He has a 43.3 passer rating in the last three games and threw four interceptions in the Week 9 loss to the Dolphins. The Jets won't even consider benching Darnold in […]

Ryan Tannehill Officially Out For Week 10

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will not play in Week 10 against the Packers. Tannehill is struggling in his rehab from a capsule injury to his right shoulder and is out indefinitely. The Dolphins expect him to return at some point this year, but fantasy owners shouldn't be holding out hope. Leave Tannehill to […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Derek Anderson Not Cleared, Josh Allen To Be Limited

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Wednesday and won't practice, while rookie Josh Allen (elbow) will be limited in practice. Head coach Sean McDermott said they are taking the QB position a day at a time this week. There's a chance that Allen could return this weekend to […]

Dak Prescott Not a Strong Option in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott doesn't make for a strong fantasy starter in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Prescott has only been useful in weeks he's scored a rushing touchdown, as he's been the QB18 or lower in weeks that he hasn't. The Eagles have allowed the fourth most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks, […]

Carson Wentz Looks Like a Strong Week 10 Option

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz looks like a strong option for Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys. Wentz has averaged close to 22 fantasy points per game over the past five games, throwing 12 touchdowns compared to just one interception. Since rejoining the Eagles in Week 3, Wentz is sixth in completion percentage with an […]

Marcus Mariota Totals 273 Yards And Three Touchdowns In Dallas

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota shined bright in Dallas on Monday Night Football, going 21-for-29 for 240 yards and two touchdowns through the air while adding 32 yards and a score on the ground. This was one of Mariota's most complete performances on the season, and he showed great poise after the offense coughed up […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 10

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a solid showing in a Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He will look to build on the momentum in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta represents a plus matchup for quarterbacks this season, ranking 28th in pass defense DVOA and allowing the second-most […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Solid Week 10 Option

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will welcome the Carolina Panthers to Heinz Field in Week 10's Thursday night game. Roethlisberger is fresh off an impressive performance against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9 and will be looking to keep it going on Thursday night. Carolina represents a plus matchup for Roethlisberger as their pass defense […]

Jason Garrett Won't Take Over Play-Calling Duties

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said he will not take over play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Scott Linehan at this time. “Right now, Scott Linehan is going to call the plays for the offense," Garrett said. That doesn't mean a change isn't on the horizon, but Linehan will at least be running the offense […]

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens surprised everyone on Thursday Night Football, tossing three touchdown passes in the Niners’ 34-3 beatdown of the Oakland Raiders. He had a near perfect 151.9 passer rating and was named the starter for Week 10 against the Giants. […]

Nick Mullens To Get Another Start

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will make the start under center for the second straight game on Monday night in Week 10 against the Giants. This isn't much of a surprise after Mullens burst on the scene last Thursday and demolished the lowly Raiders, but it's now official. C.J. Beathard has shown flashes filling […]

Jack Conklin In Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury on Monday night in the win over the Cowboys. Conklin is one of the league's best right tackles, so it'd be a downgrade for quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Titans running game against the Patriots in Week […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

If you had told me San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens would throw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in his first taste of NFL action, I would have called you crazy. Yet here we are, scratching our heads about how the Oakland Raiders only managed to generate 242 yards of total offense in […]

Broncos Staying The Course With Vance Joseph

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway isn't ready to fire head coach Vance Joseph and told reporters last week he'd seen enough "good things" during the first half of the season to remain confident. “At this point, we’re going to stay the course,” Elway said during his weekly appearance on Orange & Blue 760, a […]

Eli Manning Will Start Monday Night

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start on Monday night against the 49ers in Week 10, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Manning has been bad this year but was taking the first-team repetitions in practice on Tuesday and will remain the starter for at least another week. Backup Kyle Lauletta was arrested last […]

Cowboys Won't Make In-Season Coaching Change

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team would not be making an in-season coaching change following the team's 28-14 Monday night loss to the Titans. Dallas is now 3-5 on the year and two games back of the NFC East-leading Redskins. Head coach Jason Garrett has gone 70-58 with only two playoff appearances and […]

Cowboys Sticking With Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed that the team will move forward with quarterback Dak Prescott as the starter. “Dak is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s young, and he’s going to get extended," Jones said. Even with a new No. 1 wideout in Amari Cooper, Prescott struggled in the Monday night loss to […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Quarterback - Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Outside of Nick Mullens big Thursday Night performance, it was a rather quiet week for waiver wire quarterbacks. Some of the studs like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan had huge games, but there weren't many emergent names or standout performances in the middle tiers other than Mullens. Four teams are on bye this week, with […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]
