Aaron Rodgers Throws Two Touchdown Passes In Week 14

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 196 yards on 21-for-32 passing with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Rodgers bounced back after two down weeks in his first game without Mike McCarthy as head coach. While it wasn’t a dominant performance, it was still a […]

Josh Johnson Will Start In Week 15

After looking impressive in relief of Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Sanchez in the blowout loss to the Giants in Week 14, head coach Jay Gruden said that Josh Johnson will start against the Jaguars in Week 15. Sanchez predictably was bad, going 6-for-14 for 38 yards and two interceptions before being benched. Johnson was 11-for-16 […]

Cam Newton Fails To Throw Touchdown In Loss To Browns

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton failed to throw a single touchdown in his team's loss to the Cleveland Browns. Newton finished the game completing 26 of his 42 attempts for 265 passing yards and an interception, to add to his 23 yards rushing. This is the first game since the opening weekend where Newton has […]

Tom Brady Delivers Strong Fantasy Numbers In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 27 of 43 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots wild, unpredictable 34-33 loss to the Dolphins. Brady recorded his best fantasy performance in over a month and looked strong running the offense with a full complement of weapons. Brady especially enjoyed connecting with his […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had his second straight three-touchdown game in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Tannehill went 14-for-19 passing for 265 yards along with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Tannehill's third touchdown came on a wild 55-yard double-lateral as time expired, which isn't something to be relied on every […]

Eli Manning Throws Three Touchdowns In Rout

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 14 of 22 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants 40-16 win over the Redskins. The Giants offense exploded in the second quarter with 27 points and some of Manning's best plays of the day involved simply handing the ball off to rookie star Saquon […]

Michael Gallup, Tyron Smith Playing Sunday

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) and left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) are both active for Week 14 against the Eagles. Gallup missed practice on Friday but is fine to play in a big divisional matchup with Philly. He may be at less than 100 percent but has a great matchup and could […]

Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Active

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) are active in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Stafford is running out of playmakers on offense due to injuries and trades, so even in a good matchup he'll be a mediocre QB2 play this weekend. Ellington has an […]

Tom Coughlin Could Take Over Head-Coaching Duties In 2019

There is growing belief that Jacksonville Jaguars president Tom Coughlin could wind up serving as the head coach in 2019. The team was embarrassed in a blowout loss to the Titans last Thursday after surprising with an AFC Championship appearance in 2017. The Jaguars have been marred by fights, suspensions and lack of discipline all […]

Jaguars Plan To Move On From Blake Bortles

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to move on from quarterback Blake Bortles in the offseason. "I'm told that Blake Bortles's future does not include the Jacksonville Jaguars," Ian Rapoport said on Up to the Minute Live. "Not that this is a surprise at all. But they are expected to move on from him in this offseason." […]

Alex Smith Unlikely To Be Ready For 2019 Season

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg), who remains in the hospital after needing additional surgeries to fight an infection in his surgically repaired broken leg, is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. Mark Sanchez isn't the answer next year to begin the year, so the 'Skins will need to look […]

Panthers Not Worried About Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers are not worried about quarterback Cam Newton's shoulder, and he can still make all the necessary throws he needs to heading into Week 14 against the Browns. Newton is not expected to need another offseason surgery on his right shoulder either. Against a Browns defense missing stud rookie cornerback Denzel Ward in […]

Joe Flacco Now Inactive For Week 14

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Chiefs. After ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Flacco would suit up for the game earlier on Sunday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen recently clarified the statement and said that Flacco will not play after all. Thus, making Lamar Jackson a strong QB2 […]

Joe Flacco Expected To Be Active For Week 14

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is expected to be active for Week 14's matchup against the Chiefs. According to Adam Schefter on ESPN's NFL Countdown, Flacco will backup Lamar Jackson in Sunday's game, although he could get some snaps behind center. The 33-year-old has missed the last three games, where the Ravens won all […]

Week 14 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The Minnesota Vikings (6-5-1) head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks Monday night while still possessing a very legitimate shot at their second-straight NFC North championship.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 14) - Targets and Avoids

Of course last week I write, "It has been one top-heavy year." In Week 13, most of the favorites got it handed to them. Seven underdogs won outright and double-digit favorites like the Titans and Chiefs failed to cover. Some teams just continue to cover like the Patriots. They are a machine. Good teams win, […]

Deshaun Watson Is A Solid Play In Week 14

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson hasn't thrown for 300 yards in his last seven games, but he's mostly avoided turnovers during that time frame and has made strong use of his legs at times, making him a good fantasy option against the Colts on Sunday. Another factor: Watson threw for 375 yards and two touchdowns […]

Philip Rivers Primed For Huge Week

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers celebrates his 37th birthday on Saturday, and he should get a wonderful present on Sunday when he gets to face the Bengals defense.

Case Keenum Offering Little Intrigue Despite Favorable Matchup

The time for Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum to reclaim any bit of fantasy football relevance has long passed, but there was a glimmer of hope in Week 13 as he drew a leaky Bengals secondary. Keenum responded by completing 12-of-21 pass attempts for 151 yards with one touchdown, and has now averaged just 184.3 […]

Week 14 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions
