Josh Johnson To Start In Week 17; Colt McCoy Not Ready

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden made it clear on Monday that quarterback Josh Johnson will finish the season as the starter in Week 17 against the Eagles.

Eli Manning To Close Out Season Under Center

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start in Week 17 against the Cowboys in the season finale, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Despite the coaching staff seemingly in favor of bringing back Manning in 2019 as the starter, this has the potential to be his final home game with the Giants. Manning did […]

Nick Foles To Start In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that quarterback Nick Foles will start in Week 17 against the Redskins. Forget FitzMagic, we're all about the Foles magic.

Ryan Tannehill To Start In Week 17

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill will start in Week 17 against the Bills. The Dolphins will roll with their starters despite being eliminated from the playoffs after a Week 16 loss to the Jaguars. How long Tannehill will actually stay in the game is another question, but he's still a […]

Cowboys Not Planning To Rest Starters?

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seemed adamant that the team wouldn't be resting their starters in Week 17 against the Giants despite clinching the NFC East title with a win over the Buccaneers in Week 16. “Absolutely. We’re all-out. We’ve got work to do. We’ve got some work to do out here, I think we’ll […]

Taylor Heinicke Getting MRI

Carolina Panthers quarterback Taylor Heinicke (elbow) is undergoing an MRI exam on his left elbow on Monday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Heinicke left the game for a bit in Week 16 against the Falcons after being injured, but he returned and finished the game. He was predictably inconsistent and went 33-for-53 for 274 […]

Marcus Mariota Dealing With UCL Injury Again

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow), who suffered what was believed to be a stinger in Week 16 on Saturday, is actually dealing with another ulnar collateral ligament injury in his right elbow.

Cody Kessler Replaced By Blake Bortles In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler threw for 106 yards on 12-for-17 passing in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins. Kessler added two rushing yards as well. Kessler was replaced twice by former starting quarterback Blake Bortles, once when Kessler left with an early injury and once in the fourth quarter when the team decided Bortles […]

Nick Mullens Fails To Find End Zone

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens completed 22 of 38 passes for 241 yards and an interception in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. Despite three promising first half drives, the Niners settled for field goals and ultimately failed to score a single touchdown the entire game. Mullens never really had a chance against an […]

Kirk Cousins Shreds Lions

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21-of-28 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns against the Detroit Lions in Week 16. The Vikings struggled to move the ball until exploding for 14 points with just minutes left in the first half, thanks in part to a end-of-half successful Hail Mary to tight end Kyle Rudolph. […]

Josh Allen Completes Season-High 20 Passes

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 20 of 41 pass attempts for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Deshaun Watson Has Four Total Touchdowns Against Eagles

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns on 29-for-40 passing in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Watson also added two rushing touchdowns, with his eight carries going for 49 yards. It was Watson's best game of the season from a fantasy perspective, and the second-year passer broke the 300-yard […]

Baker Mayfield Tosses Three TDs Against Cincy

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed a season sweep over the rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Mayfield completed 27 of 37 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns in the winning effort. He also added 16 rushing yards on six carries. It was a solid effort from Mayfield, who tossed seven touchdowns and zero […]

Aaron Rodgers Dominates In Week 16

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers finally delivered the monster performance that we have been waiting on all season. Against the New York Jets, he threw for 442 yards on 37-for-55 passing with two touchdowns He added two rushing touchdowns and a two-point conversion on the day. Rodgers didn’t look dramatically better than he has earlier […]

Jameis Winston Does Just Enough in Week 16

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was fairly average in Week 16. With 335 yards and just one touchdown, Winston probably wasn't a difference maker in Championship matchups (if started). High passing yard volume and low touchdown totals have plagued Winston owners for years now along with the turnovers. Winston fumbling twice on Sunday is nothing new […]

Week 16 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The (6-8) Denver Broncos and (3-11) Oakland Raiders have combined for fewer wins this season than 20-percent of the remaining teams in the NFL; individually. If we were somehow able to fuse quarterbacks Case Keenum and Derek Carr, the resulting Casrek Kerrum would have the same amount of touchdown passes as Andrew Luck and 11 […]

Nick Foles Goes Nuts in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles annihilated the Houston Texans defense in Week 16. He completed 35 of his 49 pass attempts for 471 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw an interception, but anyone who started Foles in their fantasy championship matchup likely did not mind the pick. Foles got some help from great plays […]

Dak Prescott Game Manages the Cowboys to a Win

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott managed his team to a win on Sunday, completing 20 of his 25 pass attempts for 161 yards and a touchdown.

Mike Glennon Plays As Backup To Josh Rosen In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon played in relief of quarterback Josh Rosen in the team's Week 16 loss to the Rams. Glennon completed five of seven passes for 63 yards on the night. Glennon should not be rostered in any format heading into Week 17.

Josh Rosen Disappoints Again In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen had yet another disappointing performance in Week 16. The rookie quarterback completed 12 of 23 passes for 87 yards and rushed four times for 45 yards before being pulled. It is unlikely that Rosen was started by many fantasy owners, but he should still be considered a low-end QB2 going […]

Ben Roethlisberger Tosses Three Scores In Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 33 of his 50 pass attempts for 380 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-28 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Despite the real-life loss, Roethlisberger delivered a huge fantasy performance for his owners in the fantasy championship round. The star quarterback will draw a fantastic […]

Drew Brees Delivers Clutch Touchdown Pass To Beat Steelers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 27 of 39 passes for 326 yards and a game-winning touchdown pass in the Saints 31-28 win over the Steelers. Brees got off to a rough start fantasy wise but rebounded with an excellent second half. An ill-devised fake punt by the Steelers set up Brees to drive […]

Mitch Trubisky Accurate In Gritty Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 25 of 29 passes for one touchdown in the Bears 14-9 win over the 49ers. It wasn't pretty but the second-year quarterback put together drives when the team needed it. Trubisky was accurate, especially when rolling to his left to find receiver Anthony Miller in the end zone for […]

Matthew Stafford Benched In Week 16 Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 18 of 32 for 116 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's 27-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Stafford was eventually replaced by backup Matt Cassel in the fourth quarter. His play as of late is indicative of how the Lions have played as a team and this loss added […]

Eli Manning Throws For 309 Yards In Loss

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 25 of 33 yards for one rushing touchdown, one passing touchdown and one interception in the Giants 28-27 loss to the Colts. It was one of Manning's better performances as he looked sharp in the passing game during the first half. The veteran completed a deep pass to […]

Andrew Luck Pulls Off Comeback Win in Week 16

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 31 of his 47 pass attempts for 357 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in a 28-27 comeback win over the New York Giants. He also added two rushes for 13 yards on the ground. Fantasy owners who started Luck were no doubt worried when starting tight end Eric […]

Tom Brady Drops Fantasy Dud In Victory

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 13 of 24 passes for 126 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Patriots 24-12 win over the Bills. The Patriots clinched the AFC East division for the 10th straight season but fantasy owners have to be disappointed in the production from the future Hall of Fame […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Another Poor Day Week 16

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was lackluster yet again in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville. Tannehill went 15-for-22 passing for 146 yards along with one touchdown and one interception. Tannehill's future with Miami has been in question given his poor performance all season, and games like this certainly don't help his case. He should be […]

Kenny Golladay, Matthew Stafford, LeGarrette Blount Active

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest), quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) and running back LeGarrette Blount (calf) are all active in Week 16 against the Vikings despite being questionable to play. Golladay is the lone offensive weapon that fantasy owners can start during championship weekend, even in a tough matchup. Stafford continues to play through […]
