Colt McCoy Fractures Fibula Monday Night

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy's (leg) season is over after X-rays showed that he suffered a fractured right fibula on Monday night against the Eagles, according to a source.

Sam Darnold Trending Towards Playing In Week 14

While New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles has declined to say if rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) will return to face the Bills in Week 14, it is trending in that direction. Bowles said Darnold was healthy enough to play against the Titans in Week 13, but the team didn't want to throw him […]

Matt Ryan Struggles In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a rough day against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Week 13. Ryan threw the ball 26 times but only managed 16 completions and 131 passing yards.

Falcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

Tyron Smith Has Good Chance To Play In Week 14

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said that there's a "good shot" that left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is able to play in Week 14 against the Eagles. Smith was active on Thanksgiving but didn't play at all and was then inactive last Thursday against the Saints. His return would be excellent news for quarterback […]

Eli Manning Still The Starter Heading To Week 14

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said "Eli's our starter" heading into Week 14 against the Redskins. There is a "good chance" that rookie Kyle Lauletta will once again serve as the backup to Eli Manning this week. Manning is clearly running on fumes at age 37 and looked bad again in Week 13 […]

Josh McCown is Silenced by Titans

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown was unable to get anything going in the 26-22 loss to the Titans in Week 13. McCown drew his third straight start with Sam Darnold (foot) still sidelined. He finished 17-for-30 with 128 passing yards and one interception without a touchdown. To be fair, McCown doesn't have too many […]

Josh Allen Making Progress

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 18 of 33 passes for 231 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. He added 135 rushing yards, which was the most by a quarterback since Colin Kaepernick in 2014, on nine attempts. The two throwing touchdowns set a season-best mark while […]

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel did his best in the loss to the Broncos on Sunday, finishing the afternoon with 236 yards and a touchdown on 25-for-38 passing.

Leaving the Pack Behind

R-E-L-A-X was the soundbite from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2014 when the Packers started badly in their season, but in Green Bay now he has to be thinking that was a warm distant memory. Since that season there has been a huge amount of upheaval, and that is reflected in the fantasy output of Green […]

Russell Wilson Shellacks San Francisco

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson sliced up San Francisco’s defense like it was no big thing on Sunday. Wilson started the game by having his first four completed passes go for three touchdowns and 102 yards. He would go on to fire another touchdown later in the game, and he finished the day with a […]

Jameis Winston Balls Out Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had another great outing in Week 13. Winston threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns with no picks while adding 48 yards rushing. This was just Winston's third QB1 performance of the season but it's hopefully a sign of things to come. The Buccaneers' QB has been rough to rely on […]

Ben Roethlisberger Solid In Defeat

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 29 of his 45 passes for 281 yards while throwing two touchdowns and one interception, but it wasn't enough as his team lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 33-30 on a last-second field goal. The veteran quarterback connected with Antonio Brown for a 28-yard score in the second quarter […]

Baker Mayfield Struggles In Loss

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a rough game in a 29-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13.

Kirk Cousins Disappoints Versus Patriots

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had a rough outing on Sunday afternoon against the Patriots, completing 32 of 44 passes for 201 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions.

Cody Kessler Ineffective Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler made his first start since joining the Jaguars before this season in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Colts. Kessler didn't do anything of note from a fantasy perspective, throwing for 150 yards while completing 18 of his 24 pass attempts. He added 28 rushing yards on five carries. Kessler is […]

Josh Rosen Uninspiring Despite Victory

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen had a poor performance despite the team defeating the Green Bay Packers. Rosen completed 11 passes on 26 attempts for 149 yards and rushed twice for 32 yards as well. Although his team got the victory, Rosen did little to demonstrate that he will be anything other than a low-end […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Touchdown Against Browns

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 224 yards on 22-for-31 passing in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. He threw for one touchdown and didn't turn the ball over.

Tom Brady Throws For 311 Yards In Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 24 of 32 passes for 311 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots 24-10 win over the Vikings.

Matthew Stafford Very Mediocre Against Rams

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 20 of 33 for 245 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the 30-16 loss to the LA Rams. He was also strip sacked by Aaron Donald in the loss. The team’s only touchdown was a Stafford pass to offensive lineman Taylor Decker, which is telling of the […]
