Russell Wilson Sacked Six More Times

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson struggled in the team's Week 2 loss to the Bears and was sacked another six times. Wilson has now been sacked 12 times in the team's first two games, and there's not much relief in sight. Wilson still threw two touchdowns during the Monday night showdown, but he also threw […]

Rams Waive Brandon Allen

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving quarterback Brandon Allen on Tuesday, according to a source. He is a candidate to land on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers, but he was attractive to three teams when the Jaguars let him go last year. Sean Mannion will continue to serve as the main and […]

Bills Sticking With Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that the team will stick with rookie quarterback Josh Allen heading into Week 3 against the Vikings. “I thought he did some good things,” McDermott said of Allen. “He's a young quarterback. Each game, we expect him to get a little bit better and grow. That's […]

Sam Bradford May Have One More Chance

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks has remained non-committal as to who will start the team's third game of the season at quarterback. However, because he hasn't expressed an immediate commitment to rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, it may be that Sam Bradford gets one more chance at the starting role. Whoever starts for the Cardinals […]

Week 3 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We had another wild and woolly week of action in the NFL, and some big quarterback performances from unlikely sources once again in Week 2. Many owners prefer to set and forget at quarterback, but for those of us that like to play the streaming game we've got to be on top of matchups every […]

DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3

I have already written A.J. Green an apology letter. After noting that I would "hesitantly" put the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver in the must-start category for last week's Thursday Night Football Matchups column due to the Baltimore Ravens' history of finding ways to keep him in check, he subtly responded by catching three touchdown passes […]

Mitch Trubisky Still A Work In Progress In Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 25 of 34 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as the Bears beat the Seahawks 24-17. Trubisky passed for multiple touchdowns for the first time in his career but still left some plays out on the field. The Bears got on the board off of a […]

Philip Rivers Faces Tough Test In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has taken advantage of some inferior defenses early in the season, racking up 680 yards and six touchdowns through two contests. He'll graduate to a much more formidable challenge in Week 3, however, as the Chargers are set to take on their crosstown rival Rams. The Rams have yet […]

Paxton Lynch Works Out For Redskins

Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, along with wide receiver Breshad Perriman, were among four or five players the Washington Redskins brought in for a workout on Monday. Lynch has garnered tryouts from several teams since being released by Denver prior to the start of the 2018 regular season. In five career games, the 2016 first-round draft […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Whips His Wand Out Sunday

The Philadelphia Eagles got a big taste of Fitzmagic this past Sunday in Tampa. Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had his second straight week with over 400 yards, exactly four touchdowns, and a win. The league as a whole is stunned that the Bucs are undefeated, especially after opening the season against two playoff-level teams (one […]

Cam Newton Bounces Back From Hard Hit

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton bounced back from a hit from rookie safety Damontae Kazee in the second quarter to complete a productive game for fantasy purposes. Newton ended the game with 335 passing yards with 32 completions on 45 attempts, three touchdowns, and a single interception, while also giving his normal production on the […]

Taylor Lewan Must Still Pass Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) is making progress, but he must still pass the concussion protocol in order to practice this week. The Titans are one of the most beat up teams on the offensive line, and starting quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) sat over Blaine Gabbert in […]

Carson Wentz Won't Be Held Back

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will not be limited at all in his season debut in Week 3 against the Colts. "He's going to be prepared mentally, now it's a matter of the physical part taking over," Pederson said. "... In my mind, he's cleared, he's cleared. No need […]

Aaron Rodgers Didn't Further Damage His Knee

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) didn't do any further damage to his knee by playing in Week 2 against the Vikings, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy said Rodgers is "obviously sore, but that's to be expected. But he's a warrior, what he gave us yesterday was outstanding. I don't have a […]

Kirk Cousins Stellar In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was exceptional in a 29-29 tie against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Cousins threw for 428 yards on 35-for-48 passing. He also tossed four TD passes, while giving up an interception (although it was entirely Laquon Treadwell's fault). He is clearly starting to adjust to the Vikings offense […]

Marcus Mariota's Status Hasn't Changed

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed since Friday or Saturday of last week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Mariota was active in Week 2 against the Texans but didn't play at all and was dealing with numbness in his fingers last week. It's not looking good for his chances of playing […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Six Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a career day against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Mahomes went 23-for-28 with 326 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions. Mahomes now has 10 touchdowns in the first two weeks. No one expected Mahomes to be this good, but he's looking like an elite quarterback right now. […]

Jon Halapio Out For The Season

New York Giants center Jon Halapio (ankle, leg) broke his lower leg and ankle in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will have surgery to fix both injuries. He will miss the rest of the season. It's an ominous sign for an already bad offensive line. While it's great news that rookie running back Saquon […]

Carson Wentz Will Start In Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has been medically cleared and will start in Week 3 against the Colts, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Backup Nick Foles was much better against Tampa's weak secondary, but the Eagles appear confident that Wentz is as close to 100 percent as he's going to get. Against a […]

Cam Robinson Suffers Torn ACL

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 against the Patriots and will miss the rest of the season. Robinson was a young up-and-coming left tackle, so this is a big blow to the Jaguars offensive line and is bad news for quarterback Blake Bortles.

Cardinals Could Make Sweeping Changes

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that the team will evaluate the entire team after getting outscored 58-6 in their first two games. "I'm not going to sit here and say right after the game what we're going to do from a personnel standpoint," Wilks said. "But I will say this, everybody will be […]

Sam Darnold Throws Two Interceptions

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold played relatively well despite his team falling to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Despite his two thrown interceptions, the rookie ended up passing for an impressive 334 yards and a touchdown on 25-for-41 passing attempts. Throughout the first two games on his inaugural season, Darnold has compiled 532 yards […]
