Aaron Rodgers In Danger Of Missing Week 16?

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (groin) injured his groin in the Week 15 loss to the Bears, although he wants and expects to play in Week 16 against the Jets. Head coach Joe Philbin also wants and expects Rodgers to suit up. With Green Bay officially eliminated from the postseason, it's fair to wonder […]

Cam Newton Struggles Against Saints In Loss

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton struggled against the New Orleans Saints in a loss this week. Newton finished the game with 16 completions from 29 attempts for 131 yards and an interception, adding 15 yards on the ground. Newton has led the Panthers to six straight losses and has struggled to be the fantasy force […]

Josh Allen Engineers Another Comeback Victory

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 13 of 26 passes for 204 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 14-13 victory over the Ravens. The rookie also ran for 16 yards along with a score on nine carries. Trailing 13-7, and following a 23-yard defensive pass interference penalty, Allen connected on a 42-yard touchdown bomb with […]

Matt Ryan Has Strong Fantasy Day

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a strong fantasy day with three total touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals. The key for Ryan was a rushing touchdown which tipped him over the 20-point mark in most fantasy formats. Ryan actually managed to add 7.8 fantasy points with his legs in standard scoring leagues, to go with […]

Russell Wilson Solid In Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson played a pretty good game in San Francisco on Sunday, especially considering how messy the game was. On a wet field that was sometimes being drenched in rain, Wilson kept his composure and made the majority of the throws he needed to make. He missed a couple open receivers throughout […]

Josh Johnson Serviceable In Week 15 Victory

Washington Redskins quarterback Josh Johnson has done as well as can be asked of him after taking over the offense late in a Week 14 blowout. In a hard-fought road triumph over Jacksonville on Sunday, Johnson threw for 151 yards and the team's lone touchdown, while adding 49 more yards with his legs. In Week […]

Marcus Mariota Not Needed In Week 15 Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was quiet in the team's Week 15 win over the New York Giants. The Titans were once again content letting Derrick Henry and the ground game control the clock as the defense pitched a shutout. Mariota completed 12 of just 20 attempts for 88 yards in a game where it […]

Carson Wentz Listed As Week-To-Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Carson Wentz (back) is now listed as "week-to-week" and will resume as the team's starting quarterback when he's healthy. The Eagles are holding out hope that they can make the playoffs and use Wentz under center again. Until then, Nick Foles will continue as the starter […]

Nick Foles Will Start In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Nick Foles will start again in Week 16 against the Texans. However, Carson Wentz (back), who is unlikely to be healed from a fractured vertebrae in his back for another three months, won't be placed on Injured Reserve. Foles picked up where he left off after […]

Eli Manning Will Start Against Colts

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur announced Monday that quarterback Eli Manning will start in Week 16 against the Colts. The 36-year-old Manning just hasn't looked good at all this year, yet the Giants continue to stick with him and even hope he remains with the team going into 2019. He hasn't gone over […]

Nick Foles Likely To Remain Starter

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will likely remain the starter moving forward with Carson Wentz (back) dealing with a fractured vertebrae in his back. Wentz's injury isn't a long-term concern and he won't need surgery, but he won't be fully recovered for another three months. The Eagles will not put Wentz in harm's way and […]

Cody Kessler Does Nothing Against Washington

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler threw for just 57 yards in Sunday's loss to the Washington Redskins. He was 9-for-17 passing the football and threw a pick. Kessler also added 68 rushing yards on six carries. The rushing yardage helped make his day a little better from a fantasy perspective, though a lost fumble negated […]

Lamar Jackson Doesn't Throw An Interception For Third Straight Game

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 23 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown. The rookie also rushed for 95 yards on 18 carries. It was a typical stat line for Jackson as he topped 200 yards from scrimmage for a fifth straight game thanks to his second-highest rushing total of the season. […]

Baker Mayfield's Value Continues to Fall

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had his third straight rough performance in Week 15, posting one of his lowest point values of the year. Mayfield completed 18 of his 31 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns in a crucial win against the Denver Broncos. The rookie quarterback continues to look good on the field […]

Nick Foles Leads the Eagles to a Week 15 Win

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles completed 24 of his 31 pass attempts for 270 yards on Sunday night. He threw an interception but did not connect for a touchdown. Foles was filling in for starter Carson Wentz (back) and will likely do so for the rest of the season. He may be useful in 2QB […]

Jameis Winston Underperforms in Wet Conditions

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had a tough time passing the ball in Week 15. The weather along with a tough Ravens defense held Winston to just 157 yards with no touchdowns and a pick. This was Winston's worst matchup and performance since the Bears' game earlier in the year. Winston's next matchup in Dallas will […]

Jared Goff Struggles In Week 15 Loss

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was one of the best and most consistent quarterbacks for the majority of the year, but he has struggled over the last month, including the team's Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He had 339 yards with two interceptions to go with two carries for 11 yards. For […]

Matthew Stafford Has Average Game Against Bills

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 22 of 29 for 208 yards and a touchdown in the 14-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. While nothing special, this was a better day than the Week 14 offering from Stafford. The Lions offense is a mess due to injuries and the 30-year-old is dealing with […]

Ben Roethlisberger Throws Two TDs In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 22 of his 34 pass attempts for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a Week 15 win. While it wasn't a huge performance, Roethlisberger did enough to down the AFC-rival New England Patriots. Roethlisberger will be a top-five play in Week 16 against a New Orleans Saints […]

Nick Mullens Mistake-Free In Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens went 20-for-29 with 275 yards and one touchdown in Week 15’s upset victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Mullens found tight end Garrett Celek for a 41-yard score in the second quarter for the team’s only offensive touchdown on the day. Playing on a rainy field, Mullens kept the chains […]

Tom Brady Comes Up Short In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. This mediocre fantasy performance for the future Hall of Famer can mostly be chalked up to missed opportunities. Brady threw a crucial interception in the red zone and […]

Dak Prescott Has a Forgettable Week 15

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a rough game in Week 15, completing 24 of his 39 pass attempts for just 206 yards. He threw an interception but no touchdowns, as the Cowboys were shut out. Prescott was being talked about as a low-end QB1 for this one, but the entire Dallas offense just looked […]

Derek Carr Falls Flat Against The Bengals

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr wasn't able to produce solid fantasy numbers despite facing the Bengals and their soft defense. Carr ended with 263 yards and only one touchdown, along with being sacked five times. He came into this week with multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games but was unable to extend […]

Mike Glennon Plays As Backup To Josh Rosen In Week 15

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon played as the team's quarterback after rookie Josh Rosen was pulled in the 4th quarter. Glennon completed 10 of 14 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in the team's blowout loss to the Falcons. Glennon will be the team's backup quarterback going forward and has no fantasy value.

Josh Rosen Pulled In Week 15

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen had a very poor performance against the Falcons in Week 15. The rookie quarterback completed 13 of 22 passes for 132 yards and two interceptions and also had a fumble on the ground. Rosen is clearly playing like an inexperienced rookie and was pulled in the 4th quarter for backup […]

Aaron Rodgers Sputters In Week 15

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers had arguably his worst game of the year in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. He threw for 274 yards on 25-for-42 passing with no touchdowns and one interception. It was Rodgers’ first interception since Week 4. Rodgers accuracy issues have been a little overblown this season but he was […]

Mitch Trubisky Delivers In Win Over Packers

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 20 of 28 passes for 235 yards with two touchdowns in the Bears 24-17 victory over the Packers. Trubisky out-dueled quarterback Aaron Rodgers and was accurate with the football as the Bears clinched a playoff spot and the NFC North title. Trubisky escaped pressure to make some huge throws […]

Game Script Results in Disappointing Game for Andrew Luck

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 16 of his 27 pass attempts for 192 yards while adding 20 yards on the ground on six rushes in a 23-0 win over the Dallas Cowboys. As easily Luck's lowest yardage total in the last nine weeks, the Colts absolutely stymied Dallas's offense and ultimately kept on feeding […]

Eli Manning Struggles In Week 15 Loss

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 21 of 44 passes for 229 yards, one interception and zero touchdowns in the Giants 17-0 loss to the Titans. Playing without star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., the Giants offense couldn't get anything going. Manning has now failed to throw a touchdown in three games this season and […]
