Josh Rosen Returns To Practice Wednesday

As Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expected, rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. Rosen suffered a toe injury late in last Thursday's blowout loss to the Broncos, but he should be fine to suit up in Week 8 against the 49ers. Rosen was a disaster last week and hasn't looked […]

Cam Newton Dealing With Sore Shoulder

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Newton was a little bit sore and tired coming out of Week 7. Newton has gone over 300 yards passing just once this season, but he's completing 65.6 percent of his passes and has 11 passing touchdowns, […]

Tom Brady Primed To Dominate Bills In Week 8

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has a top-flight matchup in Week 8 against the Bills. Buffalo currently is allowing only the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season but Brady has owned the Bills his whole career. In 31 career starts, Brady is 28-3 with 7,798 passing yards, 68 touchdowns and only […]

Brock Osweiler A Low-End QB2 Against Texans

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler will draw his third straight start in Week 8 against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football. Osweiler has performed surprisingly well in his first two outings, averaging 21.88 fantasy points in his first two starts. Based on past experience we know this performance isn't going to last, and Osweiler […]

Broncos Release Chad Kelly

The Denver Broncos released backup quarterback Chad Kelly on Wednesday following his arrest for criminal trespassing, according to a source. Kelly had off-field issues in college as well, which was one of the reasons he was the last pick in the 2017 draft. It's a shame, since Kelly was primed to see starts in the […]

Carson Wentz Faces a Tough Challenge in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will face a tough challenge in Week 8, traveling to London to take on the Jacksonville defense. While the Jaguars defense isn't the powerhouse it was last season, they are still ranked first in passing yards allowed, second in yards per attempt, and third in passing points allowed per attempt. […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 For Week 8

In Week 8, Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers for the first time in his career. These two teams met in Week 1, back when Mayfield was still the backup to Tyrod Taylor. Mayfield will have an excellent matchup against a Steelers pass defense that ranks 20th […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Mid-Range QB1 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will face off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Roethlisberger should be well-rested after a Week 7 bye, while the Cleveland defense is coming off their fourth overtime in seven games this season. Cleveland has been stout against the pass this season, ranking first in DVOA, but Roethlisberger will […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals continue to be the laughing stock of the National Football League. The Red Sea had been outscored 101-82 heading into last Thursday night and the gap continued to grow. The Denver Broncos managed to find the end zone six times in the contest, including scores from Phillip Lindsay, Royce Freeman, and Emmanuel […]

Josh Allen, Trent Murphy Considered Week-To-Week

The Buffalo Bills will likely be without at least two starters when they host the New England Patriots on Monday night. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) and defensive end Trent Murphy (knee) are both currently listed as week-to-week. Allen, who missed last week's contest, has already been declared out for the Patriots game. As a […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

Week 7 was a particularly chaotic one, with several big names going down with injuries and smaller names stepping up before most of us woke up (thanks, London) all the way through the night. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider […]

Eli Manning Remains Giants Starter

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning will remain the team's starter going forward. Manning had a season-high 399 yards in the Monday night loss to the Falcons, but he had just one touchdown and remains inefficient in the red zone. New York's brutal offensive line isn't helping his cause, […]

Mitch Trubisky Will Be Top-10 QB Option Against Jets

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky has now thrown for 300 yards in three consecutive games heading into the team's Week 8 matchup against the Jets. He will go up against a Jets defense that has allowed multiple touchdown passes to opposing quarterbacks in four straight games and five out of their last six. They have […]

Drew Brees Has Attackable Week 8 Matchup

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is off to another fantastic start to his season, completing an astounding 77.3% of his passes for 1,870 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions. He has multiple touchdown passes in five of his first six games this season with a sparkling 121.6 QB rating. The 39-year-old will go […]

Eli Manning Averaging Only One Touchdown Pass A Game

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 27 of 38 passes for 399 yards and one touchdown in the Giants 23-20 loss to the Falcons. Once again the final stats were deceiving for Manning, who posted most of his passing yards playing from behind. Manning is on pace for over 4,000 yards passing this season […]

Chad Kelly Charged With Criminal Trespassing

Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly was charged with first-degree criminal trespassing. This doesn't look good for the backup who the Broncos wanted to see some playing time in the second half of this season. Kelly was the final pick of the 2017 draft and also had some off-field issues while in college. It's unclear […]

Derek Carr Losing The Locker Room?

There have been rumblings that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a "fractured relationship" with his teammates and has lost the locker room following his poor play to begin the year. "The belief in him has deteriorated, perhaps to irreparable levels," Thompson writes. "It’s hard to see how Carr can lead this team again." There […]

Matt Ryan Efficient Monday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan put up some fairly efficient numbers against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Ryan completed 31 of his 39 pass attempts for 379 yards and a long touchdown pass. It looked like it was going to be a long night for Ryan as he was sacked three times […]

Lamar Jackson Gets First Career Touchdown

After coming up just a little short of the end zone last week, Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson finally hit paydirt versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 7. Jackson scored on a one-yard run after faking a handoff to Alex Collins just before halftime. He finished the game with nine yards on three carries […]

Joe Flacco Posts Fourth Multi-Score Game

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco bounced back from two average performances, at best, with two touchdown tosses versus the New Orleans Saints. It was his fourth multi-touchdown game of the season. Flacco connected with tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver John Brown for the scores. His 14-yard strike to Brown brought the Ravens within […]

Week 7 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

When I watch movies, I root for the bad guy. I always wanted the coyote to catch the roadrunner. An NFL team going after a defeated season is exponentially more intriguing to me than the pursuit of an undefeated one. I'm just that guy. So much so, that when I sat down to begin typing […]

Cody Kessler To See First-Team Practice Reps

While Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will start in Week 8 in London against the Eagles after being benched in Week 7, backup Cody Kessler will receive practice repetitions with the first-team offense, according to a source. If Bortles struggles early again in London, the team could turn to Kessler again. Bortles has earned the […]

Brock Osweiler To Start Again In Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler has already been confirmed as the starter for the Dolphins Week 8 matchup against the Houston Texans. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been ruled out for the third-consecutive game. Osweiler has played well as a starter having thrown for over 600 yards and five touchdowns in the past two weeks. […]

Derek Anderson Named Starter For Week 8

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Derek Anderson will start in Week 8 against the Patriots on Monday night with rookie Josh Allen (elbow) set to miss another week. In his first start for Buffalo after signing the previous week, Anderson was pitiful, going 20-for-31 for 175 yards, no touchdowns, three interceptions […]

Blake Bortles Remains Starter

The Jacksonville Jaguars will stick with Blake Bortles as the team's starting quarterback for the Week 8 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Though the team benched Bortles during a rough Week 7 performance against the Texans for backup Cody Kessler, they'll keep Bortles in the starting lineup for at least another week. Don't expect much […]

Cam Newton Impresses Against Eagles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton impressed against the Eagles. Newton finished the game throwing the ball 39 times, connecting with 25 of them for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Newton was able to lean on the passing game, keeping the Eagles defense guessing using a multitude of targets. Newton again bumped this passing performance with […]

Ryan Tannehill Will Be Inactive For Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will miss his third consecutive game in Week 8. Considering Tannehill wasn't able to play last week and Miami had a short turnaround into Thursday Night Football this news is hardly surprising. Brock Osweiler will continue to fill-in for Tannehill against Houston. Given the somewhat mysterious nature of Tannehill's […]

Hue Jackson Not Expected To Take Over Play-Calling

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said there are no plans for him to take over the offensive play-calling after the Week 7 overtime loss to the Buccaneers. Cleveland currently ranks 21st in yards per game (357.4), 23rd in passing yards per game (222.4), fifth in rushing yards per game (135) and 23rd in points […]
