Ben Roethlisberger Doesn't Expect To Miss Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) said on his radio show on Tuesday that he doesn't expect to miss a big game in Week 15 against the Patriots. Big Ben was hit hard on a play just before halftime in Week 14 and then didn't return until just over five minutes left in the fourth […]

Russell Wilson Struggles In Win

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson got the win, but it was hard-fought. Wilson was held to just 72 yards passing by the Vikings, and he threw an absolutely horrific interception at the end of the first half. It was Wilson’s lowest passing total in his career, but he made a couple huge runs that ended […]

Josh Johnson (QB, WSH) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Maybe the Skins lucked themselves into a quarterback. The top pick in the recent AAF quarterback draft (don't tell me you're not familiar with the Alliance of America Football), Josh Johnson was brought in to be the backup to Mark Sanchez because, well it's good to […]

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens has proved his mettle the last couple of weeks after being on the verge of losing the starting job following Week 12. He threw for 332 yards and a pair of scores against the Broncos, giving him consecutive […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Miracle overshadowed everything else that happened in the stunning victory over the Patriots in Week 14. Before that last-second upset, quarterback Ryan Tannehill had himself a fine day, throwing for 265 yards and three TD. That ranks him better than Aaron Rodgers or Jameis Winston for […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Not long ago, a road matchup with Washington looked like a tough task. Instead, it was a laugher from the start as New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning tossed three touchdowns and 197 yards in just 22 pass attempts before being relieved by Kyle Lauletta. […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is, in this writer’s opinion, better than his numbers have shown over the course of the season. He unfortunately suffers from a dearth of talent surrounding him on the Oakland offense, particularly on the offensive line. While his supporting cast […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is obviously contingent on Lamar Jackson’s status for next week, but if Jackson’s injury is more serious than initially believed than Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will fall into a dream matchup against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers have allowed the third-most fantasy points […]

Jeff Driskel (QB, CIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This one is purely matchup-based, as Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jeff Driskel hasn’t done much to prove himself since taking over for Andy Dalton in Week 12. He hasn’t been bad, but he’s been a low-ceiling game-manager type. His already low-ceiling is hurt with A.J. Green on the […]

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen meets the ownership threshold to be a deep-league option, he can be considered in leagues of all depth. Allen has been everything we’ve wanted Lamar Jackson to be since Allen returned from injury. In his three games […]

Broncos Want Case Keenum To Be More Aggressive

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he wants quarterback Case Keenum to be more aggressive to close out the year. “He’s got to take more chances downfield. He would agree with that," Joseph said. Keenum has 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on the year, so he's been pretty careful with the football this year, […]

Lamar Jackson Should Be Fine

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson "should be fine" after leaving the end of the game in overtime in the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs with an undisclosed injury. Jackson took a hard hit and had to be checked on the sidelines to finish the game. It was […]

Josh Allen Throws Two Picks For Fourth Time

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 18 of 36 passes for 206 yards and a pair of interceptions in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets. The rookie added 101 yards and one touchdown on nine carries. It was the second straight game that he almost led the Bills to a win, although it was also […]

Mitch Trubisky Must Improve Performance

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed only 16 of 30 passes for 110 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the Bears 15-6 win over the Rams. Trubisky has missed the last two games with a slightly separated shoulder and the rust certainly showed. He consistently was inconsistent in the passing game and a few […]

Ryan Tannehill Sore After Week 14 Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is "sore" but "he's walking around" after leaving the Week 14 game against the Patriots with an ankle injury. Tannehill may miss some practice time this week, but ultimately we'd expect him to play in Week 15 against the Vikings on the road. […]

Robert Griffin III Finishes Game Under Center

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III misfired on both of his passes in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. Griffin entered the game with 1:46 left in overtime after Lamar Jackson injured his ankle when he was sacked. The 28-year-old missed on a short pass to John Brown and a deep pass to Willie Snead. […]

Matt Ryan Puts Up Numbers Despite Week 14 Loss

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan did not have a great day against the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. However, his final line will have pleased his fantasy owners as he returned a 20 fantasy point day for them. Ryan completed just 28-of-42 passes and threw a crippling pick-six as the Falcons were blown away […]

Philip Rivers Is Average Against Bengals

It wasn't nearly as impressive a game from Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers as the rest of the season has been, but he still helped pull out the win. Rivers was 19-for-29 for 220 yards and one touchdown, but it was his first game this season without multiple touchdown passes. It wasn't a bad […]

Jameis Winston Performs Well For Fantasy Purposes

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had a very solid fantasy stat line Sunday against New Orleans. With 213 passing yards, 47 rushing, two touchdowns, and just one interception, Winston put up over 20 fantasy points in most, if not all leagues. Although the Bucs' offense faltered in the second half of the game, Winston […]

Jared Goff Is Shut Down In Week 14

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was looking to bounce back after Week 13's struggles, but things only got worse in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. He finished the game 20 of 44 with 180 yards to go along with four interceptions. Goff was under constant pressure, as he was sacked three times to […]

Josh Rosen Disappoints In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen had another poor day against the Detroit Lions. Rosen completed 26 out of 41 pass attempts for 240 yards and an interception and was a fantasy dud on the night. Going forward, Rosen is nothing more than a low-end QB2 playing on an extremely poor offense.

Baker Mayfield Struggling to Find Fantasy Success

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield had a rough fantasy showing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14, posting his lowest points total since Week 6 with a stat line of 238 yards and only one touchdown. While Mayfield had a great performance on film, he simply struggled to shine from a fantasy perspective, as […]

Ben Roethlisberger Throws Two Scores, Injures Ribs

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 25 of his 29 pass attempts for 282 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 14 loss to the Oakland Raiders. Roethlisberger missed all of the third quarter and part of the fourth after injuring his ribs at the end of the second quarter, giving way to second-year signal-caller […]

Nick Mullens Steady In Niners Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens completed 20 of 33 passes for 332 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Mullens found tight end George Kittle for a wide open 85-yard touchdown in the second quarter and followed up with a one-yard floater to receiver Dante Pettis to conclude the half. It was an impressive bounce-back […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Touchdown Against Indianapolis

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson didn't light the world on fire in Week 14's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, throwing for one touchdown and 267 yards on 27-for-38 passing. He also added 35 rushing yards on five carries. While it wasn't a bad performance by Watson, he was unable to move the ball as effectively […]

Case Keenum's Disappointing 2018 Campaign Continues

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum completed 24 of 42 pass attempts for 186 yards with one touchdown in the Broncos 20-14 loss to the 49ers. Keenum added a season-high 24 yards on the ground -- providing a slight boost to his fantasy numbers -- but he's now thrown for less than 200 yards in three-straight […]

Lamar Jackson Tosses Season-High Two Touchdowns

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 24 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. The rookie added 71 yards on 13 carries to give him a total of 218 yards from scrimmage, marking the fourth straight game he has surpassed 70 rushing yards and 200 total […]

Derek Carr Helps Lead Team To Comeback Victory

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was able to lead the team to a surprising victory against the Steelers on Sunday. Carr finished with 322 yards and two touchdowns, which now gives him multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games. This game set up to be a solid game script for the Raiders, as […]

Carson Wentz Struggles but Throws Three Touchdowns in Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz struggled for most of Sunday's game against a strong Dallas Cowboys defense, but he was still able to salvage his fantasy day by connecting on three touchdowns. He ended up completing 22 of his 32 pass attempts for 228 yards. Wentz was legitimately bad in the first half, but he […]

Dak Prescott Overcomes Early Mistakes to Light Up Week 14

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott overcame several first-half mistakes to end up with one of the best games of his career. He completed 42 passes out of 54 attempts, gaining 455 yards. Three turnovers (two interceptions and a fumble) happened before Prescott really turned it on, but he ultimately set a new Cowboys record for […]
