Drew Brees Throws For Three Touchdowns In Blowout Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 26 of 29 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns in the Saints 43-19 win over the Redskins. Brees passed Peyton Manning as the all-time leader in passing yards after completing a 62-yard touchdown pass just before the end of the first half. Brees was sharp early and […]

Drew Brees Becomes All-Time Passing Leader

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees connected on a 62-yard touchdown pass to Tre'Quan Smith to become the all-time leader in NFL history in passing yards. Brees delivered the goods in front of the home crowd as the future Hall of Famer surpassed Peyton Manning's 71,940 passing yards to become number one on the list. […]

Eli Manning Not Worth A Play For TNF

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will take on the Eagles this Thursday night, and the 1-4 Giants season hangs in the balance. Manning heads into Week 6 with a 96.6 QB rating but has multiple touchdowns in only two of his first five games this season. The veteran has struggled due to an offensive […]

Trent Williams Playing Against Saints

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (knee), who was listed as questionable, is active for Monday night against the Saints. Williams underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee during the bye week last week and was always expected to play in this one. He's the blind-side protector for quarterback Alex Smith and will try to […]

Mitch Trubisky Must Protect Football In Week 6

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will face a tough Dolphins secondary in Miami in Week 6. The Bears went on bye at just the wrong time after the second-year quarterback threw six touchdowns in Week 4 against the Buccaneers. Trubisky is now completing 70% of his passes and will take a 101.6 QB rating into […]

Matt Ryan Undergoes X-Rays

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (foot) underwent X-rays on Sunday but is 100 percent ready to go for a great matchup in Week 6 against a terrible Buccaneers secondary. Ryan had 285 yards passing with just one touchdown in a disappointing showing against the Steelers in Week 5, but he'll be a strong QB1 this […]

Cam Newton Has Mediocre Showing Against Giants

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a mediocre game against the New York Giants in Week 5. While Newton did not have a poor performance, fantasy owners would have hoped for more against what should have been a good matchup for the Panthers quarterback. Newton was limited on the ground with only 29 yards rushing […]

Russell Wilson Throws Three TDs In Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson racked up three touchdowns in a game for the first time since Week 1, but he came up just short against the Rams on Sunday. Wilson finished 13-for-21 for 198 yards, and for the first time in his career, he finished the game with zero rushing attempts. Head coach Pete […]

Taylor Lewan Undergoing Tests On Foot

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) is meeting with doctors and undergoing tests on his foot on Monday. Lewan was injured in the Week 5 loss to the Bills. He's dealt with a concussion already this year, too. Any missed time for Lewan would be bad news for quarterback […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 is largely in the books and was relatively quiet compared to the first four weeks of NFL action. Of course, there's still plenty of intrigue and stats to be gobbled up on the waiver wire! In the interest of getting you some no-huddle, hurry-up information, consider this our waiver wire lightning round heading into […]

Josh Wells Week-To-Week

Jacksonville Jaguars backup left tackle Josh Wells (groin) is week-to-week, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Josh Walker won't necessarily become the starter in Wells' place in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Wells had been filling in for starter Cam Robinson, so the Jags are now down to their third left tackle. That could present […]

Deshaun Watson Has Another Good Fantasy Day

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to put up strong fantasy numbers despite some unevenness in his actual play. Against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5, Watson threw for 375 yards, a touchdown, and an interception while going 33-for-44 as a passer. Watson also added 40 rushing yards on 10 attempts. The second-year quarterback was […]

Philip Rivers Puts Up Incredible Day

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was phenomenal in Week 5 against the Raiders. Rivers went 22/27 for 339 yards and two TDs while throwing no interceptions. The 81% completion rate marked the second time this season that Rivers has posted a completion rate over 80%, and his 12.56 YPA exceeds any he's posted since […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Practicing Monday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continue to practice on Monday. It's a good sign for both, but we'll have to see what the rest of their practice participation is this week, starting on Wednesday. Castonzo made his season debut last Thursday against the Patriots, so he should […]

Ryan Kalil Injured, Thomas Davis Returns

Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 5 win over the Giants, but there has been no further update from head coach Ron Rivera. Also, linebacker Thomas Davis is returning from his suspension in time for Week 6 against the Redskins. The Panthers have dealt with enough injuries to […]

Kirk Cousins Expertly Efficient In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was locked in during a 23-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Cousins completed 30-of-37 passes for 301 yards and a touchdown. The former Washington Redskins QB has had a fantastic start to the 2018 season. Cousins has an 11/2 TD/INT ratio with 1688 passing yards and a […]

Josh Allen Has A Rough Day

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a rough outing on Sunday in the Bills last-minute win over the Tennessee Titans. Allen went 10-for-19 for 82 yards and one interception. He also scrambled four times for 19 yards and a touchdown. Once again, the young quarterback was pushed out of the pocket and forced to throw […]

Joe Flacco Attempts Season-High 56 Passes

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had a rough day against the Cleveland Browns as the Ravens fell to the Browns 12-9. Flacco, who had eight touchdown passes coming into the game, failed to lead the 11th highest scoring offense into the end zone despite reaching the red zone three times. The 33-year-old was very inaccurate, […]

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Possibly the most schizophrenic team on both sides of the ball this season, the Broncos were obliterated by... the Jets? Yes, my stat sheet tells me the Jets blew out the Broncos in Week 5, which led to great garbage time numbers for quarterback […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No one should look at New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and his three touchdown performance in Week 5 against Denver as his breakout game. He was only 10-for-22 passing with 198 yards, and nearly 40% of those yards came on one play, a […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield didn’t have the most outstanding fantasy day in Week 5, putting up 18.9 points in standard leagues. He did throw for 342 yards against a Baltimore defense that was allowing only 193.25 yards passing through their first four […]

C.J. Beathard (QB, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another over-performance from San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard. This week he went 34-for-54 passing for 349 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions. That makes him a top-10 quarterback this week heading into Monday Night Football. Some of the […]

Baker Mayfield Posts First 300-Yard Game

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 25 of his 43 pass attempts for 342 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in leading his team to a 12-9 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also added two rushes for 23 yards in the game. Mayfield continues to impress in his rookie season, showing great feet […]

Dak Prescott Struggles Again in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled in a Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans, completing 18 of his 29 pass attempts for 208 yards. He connected on one touchdown, but was intercepted twice. He was able to add 36 yards on the ground, but it was another weak outing from Prescott after a somewhat […]

Ben Roethlisberger Tosses Three Scores In Win

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 19 of his 29 passes for 250 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 5 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Roethlisberger had his offense firing on all cylinders in the game, connecting with Antonio Brown for two touchdowns and finding Juju Smith-Schuster for one. The veteran quarterback […]

Derek Carr Struggles All Around On Sunday

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a good bit of struggles this Sunday versus the Chargers. He finished with 268 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, bringing very limited fantasy value. This was set to be an offensive shootout with an over-under set at 52, but we got nothing of the sorts. Carr has been […]

Sam Darnold Throws Three Touchdowns On Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was productive against a suddenly faulty Denver defense on Sunday. The rookie, who has been inefficient over the past few weeks, finished up throwing for 198 yards and three touchdowns. Nonetheless, Darnold still has a long way to go before he is considered fantasy relevant but will look to […]

Carson Wentz Tosses Two Touchdowns in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 24 of his 35 passes for 311 yards in Week 5, including two touchdowns. Wentz also carried the ball five times for 26 yards, losing a fumble. That's now two games in a row for Wentz with 300 passing yards and two touchdowns. He's moving his way back into […]

Andy Dalton Leads Team To Win Over Fins

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton led his team to a 27-17 victory over the Dolphins on Sunday. Dalton, who was missing tight end Tyler Eifert (Ankle), running back Giovani Bernard (knee), and Wide receiver John Ross (groin), was still efficient, completing 20 of his 30 pass attempts to finish things up with 248 yards and […]
