Teddy Bridgewater Is Saints Backup QB

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater "absolutely" is the team's backup behind Drew Brees. "He's doing well," Payton said. "I'm pleased. ... He's a quick study and I think the (quarterback) room's doing well. I think right away, you can tell he got comfortable with what we're calling things, protections." […]

Andrew Luck Likely to Struggle Against Philadelphia

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has slowly been returning to form over the first two weeks of the NFL season, but he draws a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 that fantasy owners should be extremely cautious of. Irrespective of the fact that Eagles boast one of the best defensive lines in football, […]

Offense To Be Paired Down For Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to simplify their playbook heading into Week 3 against the Bears as a way to get more production from quarterback Sam Bradford and the rest of the offense. Through two weeks, the Cardinals have one touchdown. Bradford was 17-for-27 with just 90 yards in the Week 2 34-loss to the […]

Aaron Rodgers Won't Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with the rehab group again on Thursday, which means he won't practice. The team is following the same format as last week when Rodgers didn't practice until Saturday. Rodgers played the whole game in Week 2 against the Vikings and while he clearly wasn't 100 percent, […]

Russell Wilson On Week 3 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Also practicing in full were cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebacker Bobby Wright (groin). Wilson will be fine for Week 3 against the Cowboys, but he should be downgraded to a QB2 moving forward. He just hasn't had any time to throw […]

Derek Carr A Streaming Option For Week 3

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has 591 passing yards and an 80.6% completion rate in two games against two of the better pass defenses in the NFL. He's only thrown one touchdown, but that number figures to rise significantly, perhaps as soon as Week 3. Carr's next opponent is a Dolphins defense that has shown […]

Aaron Rodgers Concerned He'll Make Knee Worse

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is concerned that his left knee could worsen if he continues to play on it. He played with a brace on his knee in Week 2 against the Vikings and made it through the whole game, but he admitted that his knee "obviously won't be 100 percent, so […]

Sam Bradford Is Still The Starting Quarterback

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford is still the team's starter, according to head coach Steve Wilks. Wilks stated that Bradford would be the team's quarterback for the foreseeable future despite calls to play rookie quarterback Josh Rosen following two poor performances from Bradford. Even though Bradford will start this weekend, he should not be considered […]

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) did not get in a practice on Wednesday. The Packers will probably take it easy on Rodgers as he fights through a knee injury early in the season. Don't be surprised if he doesn't practice again until Saturday. We fully expect him to suit up again, though, and […]

Anthony Castonzo Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Castonzo was looking set to return in Week 2 but had a setback in the middle of the week. He's off to a bad start again this week as he looks to make his season debut. If he sits out again, Le'Raven Clark, […]

Drew Brees Should Continue Success Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is off to a fantastic start to the first two games of the season, completing 65 of 80 passes for 682 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions. Brees will take on the Falcons in Atlanta this week and the future Hall of Famer is 16-9 in his career against […]

Cam Newton A Clear Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a fantastic opportunity against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Building on from the previous week against the Atlantic Falcons where Newton put together an impressive 335 yards and three touchdowns in the air added to his 42 yards on the ground. The Bengals haven't looked like an elite level […]

Marcus Mariota Splits First-Team Reps

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed much, but head coach Mike Vrabel said Mariota and Blaine Gabbert split the first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday. The team will continue to prepare both quarterbacks to play in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Mariota was active in Week 2 but didn't play at all, […]

Eli Manning A Risky Week 3 Play

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will try and kick start his season when he goes up against the Texans in Week 3. Manning's limited athleticism has really cost him through the first two games playing behind a shaky offensive line. The weapons on the Giants offense are undeniable but Manning's ability to get them […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Parker was limited last week but didn't play for the second straight week. It's already looking like he's primed to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders, which […]

Dak Prescott Not a Starting Option for Week 3

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a starting option in a Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Prescott has now thrown for 212 yards or fewer in nine of the past 10 games he's started. In eight of those games, he's thrown fewer than two touchdowns. He's essentially become the middle man to […]

Case Keenum Being Held Out As Precaution

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) will be held out of practice on Wednesday as a precaution due to knee soreness from Week 2, according to a league source. Keenum is expected to return to practice on Thursday and play in Week 3 against the Ravens. The veteran signal-caller led a nice fourth-quarterback comeback over […]

Billy Price To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals rookie center Billy Price (foot) is dealing with a foot injury that isn't a Lisfranc injury. However, he's in a walking boot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Price hadn't been very effective in his first two career games, so this might not wind up hurting Cincinnati too much. Expect Trey Hopkins […]

Nick Foles Heads to the Bench in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is back to holding a clipboard in Week 3. With Carson Wentz (knee) returning to a starting role, Foles will go back to being one of the better backups in the NFL. Foles was able to lead the Eagles to a 1-1 start despite not playing nearly as well as […]

Carson Wentz Could Disappoint Excited Owners in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is finally back in the starting lineup for Week 3, but he might not be a great fantasy option. Wentz is coming back from a major knee surgery to a team with two legitimate receiving options. He was excellent last season, but is due for significant touchdown regression, and […]

Ben Roethlisberger Travels To Tampa Bay In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger turned in a big Week 2 performance, accounting for four touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs. Through two weeks, the star quarterback comes in as the overall QB7 in scoring in six-point per passing touchdown leagues. Roethlisberger will look to keep it up in Week 3 when the Steelers travel […]

Tyrod Taylor A QB2 On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor heads into his Thursday night Week 3 matchup as the QB17 in scoring in six-point-per-touchdown pass leagues. The veteran signal-caller has been mostly mediocre for the Browns in his first two games, passing for 443 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 103 yards and a score. He […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 3)

After two weeks of the regular season, we can start to figure out which teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders, doomed to pick in the top of the 2019 NFL Draft. There is a common theme with the underperformers so far: poor offensive line play. The Giants, Cardinals, Seahawks all have been awful […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

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. […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Up is down, black is white, cats and dogs are living together. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best QB in football (OK, behind Pat Mahomes) and Blake Bortles doubled Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points this week. Also, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, and Leonard Fournette are sidelined by injuries while Le'Veon Bell continues to sideline himself. Also, […]
