Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you watched any of the Dolphins-Jets game, you want no part of New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and his four-pick self. The bad field conditions and Spencer Long's inability to snap the ball can excuse some of it but Darnold still made […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It doesn't matter if the Giants' offensive woes are quarterback Eli Manning's fault or even whether he finishes the year as the starting quarterback. For Week 10, Manning is still viable as a streamer to replace Kirk Cousins or Deshaun Watson if needed. Manning entered Week 9 as […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Dak Prescott Tosses Two Touchdowns in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 21 passes on Monday night, totaling 243 yards. He recorded two touchdowns and was intercepted once. Prescott had been upping his fantasy score recently with his legs, but he only ended up running the ball twice in this one, gaining 11 yards. Prescott connected with new Cowboy Amari Cooper […]

Sam Bradford Has Bone-On-Bone Knee Issue

Free-agent quarterback Sam Bradford (knee), who was released by the Cardinals over the weekend, hadn't practiced in the previous five weeks because his left knee is basically bone-on-bone. He has no cartilage remaining in his knee that had two ACL repairs. The injury-prone former first overall pick by the Rams has played only two full […]

Joe Flacco Falters In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco faltered in his Week 9 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Flacco wasn't able to bounce back after a tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers and was only able to pass the ball for 209 yards against the Steelers. Flacco goes into his bye week with speculation around the team making […]

Cam Newton Has Good Game Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a good game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. While fantasy owners would have hoped for more in the game, Newton did have a decent fantasy outing in a game that the Panthers controlled from the first kick. Finishing the game with 247 passing yards and two […]

Bryan Bulaga Should Be Fine

Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), who left the Monday night game early against the Patriots, is going to be fine, according to a source. Bulaga doesn't have structural damage in his knee and could even play in Week 10 against the Dolphins. That's good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's […]

Nathan Peterman Sets interception Record

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman finally got to finish a game that he started. However, it didn't go any better than his other three starts as the second-year pro threw three interceptions in the Bills 41-9 loss to the Bears at New Era Field on Sunday. His second pass of the day that was picked […]

Derek Anderson To Start In Week 10 With Clearance

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) will start in Week 10 against the Jets if rookie Josh Allen (elbow) cannot play and if Anderson is cleared from the concussion protocol. A concussed Anderson is still probably better than Peterman, who threw three more interceptions (including another pick-six) in his […]

Ravens Sticking With Joe Flacco

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team will stick with quarterback Joe Flacco under center when asked if he would consider starting rookie Lamar Jackson coming out of their Week 10 bye. "Joe’s played well, so I don’t want to get into all of that. We’re rolling right now with what we got. […]

Russell Wilson Prolific In Loss To Chargers

Completing 26 passes against LA on Sunday, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson enjoyed his most prolific showing this season. Unfortunately, it wasn't actually a terribly good showing by Wilson. While he completed more passes than in any other game this season, Wilson also posted his lowest YPA of the year and regularly missed open receivers […]

Ryan Tannehill Not Making Good Progress

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been inconsistent in his throwing with trainers. His rehab has been weird; some days have been good but others he feels pain. It's not a guarantee that Tannehill will be able to return after the team's Week 11 bye. Tannehill belongs on the […]

Sam Darnold Struggles Against Dolphins

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold saw his touchdown streak come to an end at five games against the Dolphins in Week 9. Darnold finished 21-for-39 with 229 passing yards and zero touchdowns with four interceptions. Clearly, Darnold is struggling, but he does have limited weapons around him. He heads into a matchup against the […]

Philip Rivers Gets It Done Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers wasn't nearly as sharp as he usually is, but he still guided his team to victory on Sunday. Rivers completed just 50% of his passes for 228 yards, but he didn't turn the ball over and threw a pair of touchdowns along the way. His passer rating of 105 […]

Patrick Mahomes Slices Up Browns in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued his fantastic season against the Browns in Week 9. Mahomes finished 23-for-32 with 375 passing yards and three touchdowns with one interception. This was the eighth straight game that Mahomes has surpassed the 300 yard mark in a single game. There does not appear to be any team […]

Aaron Rodgers Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 259 yards on 24-for-43 passing with two touchdowns in a Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the New England Patriots. The stat line was not wholly disappointing, but clearly fell short of expectations for Rodgers as Green Bay’s offense struggled at moments during the game. Rodgers was […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Eats Up Garbage Time on Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick set himself up nicely before halftime to lead fantasy teams everywhere to commanding leads. The journeyman QB found himself down by 28 points in the first half and knew it was his time to shine. Fitzmagic was all the way up as he went on to toss four touchdowns […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Pair Of Touchdowns In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 213 yards on 17-for-24 passing in Houston's Week 9 victory over the Denver Broncos. He tossed a pair of touchdowns and also added 38 rushing yards on six carries. Houston has a bye week in Week 10 before a road meeting with a Washington defense that boasts two […]

Tom Brady Throws For 294 Yards To Best Packers

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 22 of 35 passes, none more impactful than a 55-yard bomb to receiver Josh Gordon for a touchdown to pace the Patriots 31-17 over the Packers. Brady passed for 294 yards in the game and consistently put points on the board throughout. From a fantasy perspective, Brady has […]

Case Keenum Finally Ends Interception Streak

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum completed 26 of 42 pass attempts for 290 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos 19-17 loss to the Texans Sunday. Keenum was largely underwhelming for the majority of the afternoon, but managed to finish the game interception-free for the first time this season and led the Broncos on what […]

Jared Goff Plays Well in Loss

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had a fairly strong game against the Saints, but was unable to get the win. Goff finished 28-for-40 with 391 passing yards and three touchdowns with one interception. It was a shootout against Drew Brees and the Rams were unable to score in their final two possessions. Goff has […]

Baker Mayfield Plays Well In Loss

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a valiant effort in a Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Mayfield completed 29 of his 42 pass attempts for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The rookie quarterback looked better under new offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens, posting a season-high in completion percentage. He just […]

Ben Roethlisberger Accounts For Three Scores

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger turned in a solid game against the Baltimore Ravens in a Week 9 win. Roethlisberger completed 28 of 47 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushes for four yards and a score. The veteran quarterback went into the game with a fractured finger on his left […]

Drew Brees' Four Touchdowns Pace Saints Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints 45-35 win over the Rams. Brees came out of the chute firing early as the Saints racked up 35 first-half points. But he saved his best throw for last, hitting wide receiver Michael Thomas in […]

Matt Paradis Could Be Done For The Season

There is concern that Denver Broncos center Matt Paradis (leg) suffered a fractured right fibula in Week 9 against the Texans. If that's the case, it would knock him out for the rest of the season. Paradis hadn't missed a snap as a starter dating back to 2014. It's a big loss for the Broncos […]

Ravens Want To Use Lamar Jackson More

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he'd like to find ways to use rookie quarterback Lamar Miller more moving forward. The Ravens lost their third straight game in Week 9 against the Steelers, and they'll have the bye week in Week 10 to figure out ways to improve their stagnant offense. Joe Flacco has […]

Kirk Cousins Quiet In Week 9 Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 16 of 22 passes for 164 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 24-9 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Cousins was without elite pass-catcher Stefon Diggs (ribs) in this one. He was not sharp throughout the game, highlighted by an ugly pick thrown to Darius […]
