Ravens Sticking With Joe Flacco

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team will stick with quarterback Joe Flacco under center when asked if he would consider starting rookie Lamar Jackson coming out of their Week 10 bye. "Joe’s played well, so I don’t want to get into all of that. We’re rolling right now with what we got. […]

Russell Wilson Prolific In Loss To Chargers

Completing 26 passes against LA on Sunday, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson enjoyed his most prolific showing this season. Unfortunately, it wasn't actually a terribly good showing by Wilson. While he completed more passes than in any other game this season, Wilson also posted his lowest YPA of the year and regularly missed open receivers […]

Ryan Tannehill Not Making Good Progress

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been inconsistent in his throwing with trainers. His rehab has been weird; some days have been good but others he feels pain. It's not a guarantee that Tannehill will be able to return after the team's Week 11 bye. Tannehill belongs on the […]

Sam Darnold Struggles Against Dolphins

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold saw his touchdown streak come to an end at five games against the Dolphins in Week 9. Darnold finished 21-for-39 with 229 passing yards and zero touchdowns with four interceptions. Clearly, Darnold is struggling, but he does have limited weapons around him. He heads into a matchup against the […]

Philip Rivers Gets It Done Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers wasn't nearly as sharp as he usually is, but he still guided his team to victory on Sunday. Rivers completed just 50% of his passes for 228 yards, but he didn't turn the ball over and threw a pair of touchdowns along the way. His passer rating of 105 […]

Patrick Mahomes Slices Up Browns in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued his fantastic season against the Browns in Week 9. Mahomes finished 23-for-32 with 375 passing yards and three touchdowns with one interception. This was the eighth straight game that Mahomes has surpassed the 300 yard mark in a single game. There does not appear to be any team […]

Aaron Rodgers Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 259 yards on 24-for-43 passing with two touchdowns in a Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the New England Patriots. The stat line was not wholly disappointing, but clearly fell short of expectations for Rodgers as Green Bay’s offense struggled at moments during the game. Rodgers was […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Eats Up Garbage Time on Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick set himself up nicely before halftime to lead fantasy teams everywhere to commanding leads. The journeyman QB found himself down by 28 points in the first half and knew it was his time to shine. Fitzmagic was all the way up as he went on to toss four touchdowns […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Pair Of Touchdowns In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 213 yards on 17-for-24 passing in Houston's Week 9 victory over the Denver Broncos. He tossed a pair of touchdowns and also added 38 rushing yards on six carries. Houston has a bye week in Week 10 before a road meeting with a Washington defense that boasts two […]

Tom Brady Throws For 294 Yards To Best Packers

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 22 of 35 passes, none more impactful than a 55-yard bomb to receiver Josh Gordon for a touchdown to pace the Patriots 31-17 over the Packers. Brady passed for 294 yards in the game and consistently put points on the board throughout. From a fantasy perspective, Brady has […]

Case Keenum Finally Ends Interception Streak

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum completed 26 of 42 pass attempts for 290 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos 19-17 loss to the Texans Sunday. Keenum was largely underwhelming for the majority of the afternoon, but managed to finish the game interception-free for the first time this season and led the Broncos on what […]

Jared Goff Plays Well in Loss

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had a fairly strong game against the Saints, but was unable to get the win. Goff finished 28-for-40 with 391 passing yards and three touchdowns with one interception. It was a shootout against Drew Brees and the Rams were unable to score in their final two possessions. Goff has […]

Baker Mayfield Plays Well In Loss

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a valiant effort in a Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Mayfield completed 29 of his 42 pass attempts for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The rookie quarterback looked better under new offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens, posting a season-high in completion percentage. He just […]

Ben Roethlisberger Accounts For Three Scores

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger turned in a solid game against the Baltimore Ravens in a Week 9 win. Roethlisberger completed 28 of 47 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushes for four yards and a score. The veteran quarterback went into the game with a fractured finger on his left […]

Drew Brees' Four Touchdowns Pace Saints Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints 45-35 win over the Rams. Brees came out of the chute firing early as the Saints racked up 35 first-half points. But he saved his best throw for last, hitting wide receiver Michael Thomas in […]

Matt Paradis Could Be Done For The Season

There is concern that Denver Broncos center Matt Paradis (leg) suffered a fractured right fibula in Week 9 against the Texans. If that's the case, it would knock him out for the rest of the season. Paradis hadn't missed a snap as a starter dating back to 2014. It's a big loss for the Broncos […]

Ravens Want To Use Lamar Jackson More

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he'd like to find ways to use rookie quarterback Lamar Miller more moving forward. The Ravens lost their third straight game in Week 9 against the Steelers, and they'll have the bye week in Week 10 to figure out ways to improve their stagnant offense. Joe Flacco has […]

Kirk Cousins Quiet In Week 9 Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 16 of 22 passes for 164 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 24-9 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Cousins was without elite pass-catcher Stefon Diggs (ribs) in this one. He was not sharp throughout the game, highlighted by an ugly pick thrown to Darius […]

Matthew Stafford Held Without a Touchdown In Week 9

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 25 of 36 for just 199 yards and no touchdowns in the 24-9 loss to the Vikings. Stafford also fumbled in the fourth quarter, with Minnesota recovering and returning it for a touchdown. Stafford was under pressure all day, being sacked 10 times, a career high. Historically the 30-year-old […]

Alex Smith Puts Up 300 Yards In Loss

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith completed 30 of 46 passes for 306 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's defeat at the hands of the Falcons. The Redskins fell behind big early on, and as we've seen a few times this season, they had to take to the air to keep up. Sunday marks […]

Matt Ryan Has Big Day In Washington

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan made a mockery of his history on the road with a big performance against the Redskins in Washington on Sunday. Ryan had thrown just one touchdown is his previous two road game this season, but he more than made up for that Sunday. Ryan threw for 350 yards and four […]

Mitch Trubisky Throws One Touchdown As Bears Cruise

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 12 of 20 passes for 135 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Bears 41-9 throttling of the Bills. Chicago got two defensive touchdowns in the game and some great field position led to several rushing scores. Trubisky threw an awful interception on a bad pass in […]

Brock Osweiler Underwhelming In Week 9

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler had an underwhelming day in Miami's 13-6 win over the Jets in Week 9. Osweiler was 15-for-24 passing for 139 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He was also sacked four times. As the final score suggests, this game was only good for the defenses. Unlike his counterpart Sam Darnold, […]
