Carson Wentz Moves To Full Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) put in a full practice on Thursday after sitting out some of the drills on Wednesday with a minor back injury. Wentz will be fine for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, where he will be a strong QB1 play. The 25-year-old has gone over 300 yards in two […]

Nick Mullens Remains Niners Backup

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Nick Mullens will remain C.J. Beathard's backup even after the team signed Tom Savage to a one-year deal this week. “Our team has confidence in him. The other guy just got here last night and is just trying to learn what the words mean," Shanahan […]

Josh Rosen Not Worth A Start In Week 7

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen faces a difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 7. The rookie quarterback has been underwhelming so far from a fantasy perspective and faces a tough Broncos secondary. Therefore, Rosen should be considered a low-end QB2 with minimal streaming appeal for Week 7.

Surgery Not An Option For Ryan Tannehill

The Miami Dolphins aren't looking into surgical options for quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) at this time. He has been prescribed rest. Tannehill has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Lions and is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 8 on Thursday against the Texans. Brock Osweiler should see at least two […]

Ryan Tannehill Unlikely To Play Next Thursday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder), who has already been ruled out for Week 7 against the Lions, is facing an "uphill challenge" and is unlikely to play next Thursday against the Texans, according to a source. Tannehill is practicing on a limited basis but is unable to throw. Brock Osweiler, who threw for a […]

Andrew Luck is a Tough Sell Against Buffalo

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been on a roll for fantasy owners, throwing 11 touchdown passes over the past three games with several key offensive pieces missing. Unfortunately, Luck will face a Buffalo Bills defense that has managed to hold several fantasy quarterbacks in check this season allowing the fewest passing yards per completion […]

Which Patriots Players Are Must-Owns and Buy-Lows?

After struggling the first three weeks of the season, the New England Patriots offense has looked like the well-oiled machine it was expected to be. The Patriots have averaged 39.7 points and rolled up 462.3 yards of total offense per game over the last three contests. New England's offense was in overdrive versus the Kansas […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option For Week 7

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has had a strong start to the 2018 campaign and that trend should continue heading into a Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets. Cousins has put up 1921 passing yards along with a 71.2% completion rate and 12/3 TD/INT ratio through six games. The Jets are trending in […]

C.J. Beathard Searching For First Victory

Although winless in his three starts, San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard has performed adequately piloting the offense. While he’s committed seven turnovers, Beathard is averaging 297 yards and two touchdowns passes per game. He’s also totaled 47 rush yards with another score. The reemergence of receiver Marquise Goodwin further enhances his vertical capacity. The […]

Case Keenum Draws Unfavorable Road Matchup

The boos were audible Sunday, but sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Unfortunately, the bad for Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum is that his back-to-back 300-plus yard, two touchdown passing performances have been overshadowed by Denver's four-game losing streak. It also doesn't help that this offense is averaging the seventh-fewest points […]

Ryan Tannehill Unable To Throw

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. He worked on his footwork and handed the ball off with his right arm, but he didn't throw. "Anything that has to do with pocket movement, footwork, things like that, he can do everything," head coach Gase said Wednesday. "He just can't throw." […]

Joe Flacco Working On Avoiding Tipped Passes

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is uncharacteristically having a problem with deflected passes. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Flacco has had 11 passes knocked down, which is tied for the most in the league this season. The 11th-year pro has never finished higher than 16th in passes batted in a season. He is coming […]

Carson Wentz Puts In Limited Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Wentz, but we doubt it's serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 7 against the Panthers. He quietly has eight touchdowns and no interceptions all year despite playing behind a lackluster offensive line. Wentz remains in […]

Cam Newton With Good Chance To Bounce Back Against Eagles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a good chance to bounce back from his display against the Washington Redskins in his Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles haven't looked quite the same team that they were last year, and currently, rank around the middle of the NFL in points allowed per game […]

Tom Brady Will Be Tested Against Stout Bears Defense

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will lead the charge against a tough Bears defense that has allowed the 17th fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Brady's 13:6/TD:INT ratio is a little bit higher than past seasons for the future Hall of Famer but he still is an elite passer. He will face […]

Brock Osweiler To Make Another Start

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler will start in place of Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) for the second straight game in Week 7 against the Lions. Tannehill is not quite ready to return from his injury, and Osweiler is riding a high after throwing for 380 yards in the overtime win over the Bears. The Lions are […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Fantasy Appeal Against Patriots

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will look to stay hot against a Patriots defense that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Over his last two games the second-year quarterback has thrown for 670 yards, rushed for 100 yards and has nine passing touchdowns. With two monster fantasy performances in a […]

Derek Anderson To Start In Week 7

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson will make the start in Week 7 against the Colts. Head coach Sean McDermott said rookie Josh Allen (elbow) is week-to-week with an injured ulnar collateral ligament. Nathan Peterman relieved Allen last Sunday and threw two interceptions, including a decisive pick-six. Anderson isn't a much better option than Peterman, but […]

Dak Prescott Not Recommended in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a recommended fantasy starter in a Week 7 matchup against Washington. Prescott had his best game of the season in Week 6, but it was mostly due to his own rushing output and the fact that the Jacksonville defense forgot about Cole Beasley. Prescott is unlikely to repeat […]

Carson Wentz Set Up For a Strong Week 7 Performance

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a good choice for a Week 7 fantasy lineup. Wentz has scored more points than his previous game in each of his starts, keeping his fantasy arrow pointing straight up. Any signs of rust he may have shown at first are completely gone, and he's back to being the […]

Baker Mayfield Draws Fantastic Week 7 Matchup

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off of his worst game as a pro but he finds himself in a prime bounce-back spot in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay's pass defense has been shredded by the opposition this season, allowing an astounding 366.8 passing yards and 3.2 passing touchdowns per […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 7)

It’s hard to believe that this week will mark the halfway point of the fantasy football season for most leagues. It’s time to make the moves that will put your team over-the-top to dominate the remainder of your league. As a fantasy owner, you’ll need to examine all of the circumstances around the players you […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

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. […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 7 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 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Last week it was the vulture, this week it's the no-names. The phrase "that doesn't help anybody" is well-known by fantasy owners and was uttered repeatedly in Week 7. We saw touchdowns from Marcus Johnson, David Moore, Jaron Brown, Paul Richardson, Ito Smith, Erik Swoope, Chris Herndon IV, and Nick O'Leary. That was just in […]

Week 7 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It was another interesting week at the quarterback position. We had more huge games from available quarterbacks, a surprise inactive, and continued disappointment from a few veteran quarterbacks. Week 7 is the first big bye week, as four teams are one bye. Owners of Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, and Ben Roethlisberger will need […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 7

The last Thursday Night Football battle featuring two NFC East squads was clearly a one-sided affair. The Philadelphia Eagles completely outpaced the New York Giants in a game where quarterback Carson Wentz threw for three touchdowns, including two to wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, and new lead rusher Corey Clement managed to punch in a touchdown […]

Matthew Stafford Is A Low-End QB1 in Week 7

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford leaves the bye week and is preparing to face the Dolphins on the road in Week 7. Stafford has been solid but not great thus far; however, he is throwing to one of the best receiving groups in the league. According to Football Outsiders, Miami is ranked fifth against the […]
