Jameis Winston Good Enough Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston provided an inefficient yet effective fantasy line Sunday against Cleveland. With 365 yards passing and 55 rushing, Winston provided a solid yardage base for his point total while his two interceptions and lost fumble were essentially negated by a rushing TD (his lone score of the day). The Buccaneers ran the […]

C.J. Beathard Struggles In Loss Versus Rams

San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard had a rough game in Sunday's loss against the Rams.

The 49ers were […]

Marcus Mariota Throws For 237 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota had a modest day versus the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing for 237 yards and one touchdown.

Mariota was […]

Sam Darnold Struggles Against Minnesota

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a tough afternoon as his team fell to the Vikings in a lopsided loss on Sunday.

Jared Goff Consistent In Week 7 Blowout

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had a solid day in Week 7. He finished 18 of 24 for 202 yards with two touchdowns to go with two carries for four yards. Goff is a QB1 when the team gets into a shootout, but when the team thoroughly dominates as they did this week, it […]

Cody Kessler Throws For Touchdown In Week 7

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a change at quarterback during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, bringing Cody Kessler off the bench to replace the struggling Blake Bortles.

Alex Smith Throws Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith continued a season in which he's been much better at managing actual football games than winning fantasy contests in Sunday's 20-17 triumph over the Cowboys. Smith's final line for the day was 14 completions on 25 pass attempts for 178 yards and a touchdown. It was the second straight game […]

Carson Wentz Plays Well Despite an Eagles Loss

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played well on Sunday, completing 30 of his 37 pass attempts for 310 yards and two touchdowns. It looked like he was leading the Eagles to an easy win before the defense fell apart in the second half. Wentz has looked great for four weeks in a row and should […]

Tom Brady's Three Touchdowns Edge Bears

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 25 of 36 passes for 277 yards, three touchdowns and one interception as the Patriots edged the Bears 38-31.

Kirk Cousins Tosses Two Touchdowns In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 25 of 40 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns during a 37-17 win over the New York Jets. Cousins was not at his best in this game, but he made enough big plays to turn in a solid fantasy stat line. The 30-year-old now has 2162 yards with […]

Mitch Trubisky Comes Up One Yard Short

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 26 of 50 passes for 333 yards, two passing touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bears 38-31 loss to the Patriots.

Matthew Stafford Productive Against Dolphins

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Lions to a 32-21 victory over Miami on Sunday. He finished 18 of 22 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

Blake Bortles Benched In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has been benched in Week 7 against the Texans in favor of Cody Kessler.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not considering trading for a quarterback despite public calls for them to acquire one, according to sources familiar with the team's thinking.
