Lions Need Matthew Stafford Ready To Go

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been starting games slow this season, and this trend is carrying over from 2017. With the Patriots coming to town this week, Stafford and the Lions have to be at their best from the very beginning. This game has all the makings of a shootout, as both defenses are […]

Baker Mayfield Makes NFL Debut On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick, entered the game on Thursday late in the second quarter against the Jets to replace the injured Tyrod Taylor (head). It remains to be seen if Taylor will be cleared to return in the second half, but even if he is, the Browns will […]

Tyrod Taylor Being Evaluated For Concussion

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (head) is being evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half on Thursday against the Jets. Taylor was atrocious in the first two quarters, going 4-for-14 for just 19 yards. He also ran four times for 22 yards. Even if Taylor is cleared to return to this […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is ready to eviscerate the lowly Buffalo Bills in Week 3. Cousins is averaging 335 yards and three touchdowns per game so far this season. The Bills secondary has already given up six passing TDs through two weeks, so Cousins and his murderers' row of offensive options should thrive at […]

Patrick Mahomes an Excellent Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first two weeks of the regular season. Mahomes has thrown 10 touchdowns without a single interception through two weeks. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Mahomes should be one of the best fantasy quarterbacks […]

Jared Goff Should Excel in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has put together two respectable performances through the first two weeks of the regular season. He now heads into a contest against a Chargers defense that's allowed 2.5 passing touchdowns per contest. The Chargers are also without Joey Bosa, so that just adds insult to injury. Goff is averaging […]

Marcus Mariota Makes Progress In Practice

Updating previous reports, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) made improvements in Thursday's practice, but offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur said the team will still take it "day by day and see where he is on Sunday." Mariota was able to drive the ball further down the field for the first time since injuring his elbow […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Poised for Breakout Game

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has an outstanding Week 3 matchup against Kansas City. The Chiefs have allowed 876 passing yards through the first two weeks of the season, in addition to surrendering a league-worst 34 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. Garoppolo has struggled out of the gate, ranking just 25th […]

Marcus Mariota Takes Majority Of Reps Thursday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) was better on Thursday and took most of the practice repetitions over Blaine Gabbert. Mariota was active in Week 2 but didn't play at all. He's dealing with a nerve issue in his elbow that has caused numbness in his hand and fingers, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick On Week 3 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee) was on the Week 3 injury report against the Steelers but practiced in full on Thursday. Aside from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Fitzpatrick has been the best quarterback in the NFL through two weeks. He has gone 48-for-61 for 819 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception. Fitz should […]

Taylor Lewan Practices In Full

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Barring any late-week setbacks, Lewan should return after missing just one game. It'll be a big boost to whoever is under center in a very tough matchup against the Jaguars in Week 3.

Mitch Trubisky Aims To Improve Against Cardinals

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will take on the Cardinals in Arizona for Week 3. Trubisky has flashed some good on the field through the first two games but has also shown plenty of bad. Accuracy and comfort in the pocket are the biggest reasons, right now, Trubisky will not be fantasy viable in Week […]

Anthony Castonzo Still Out

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Castonzo suffered a setback last week and looks unlikely to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Eagles. Indy's offense is pretty beat up right now, and it's not good news that quarterback Andrew Luck probably won't […]

Case Keenum Back On The Field

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) is back on the practice field on Thursday after being held out as a precaution on Wednesday with knee soreness. Keenum should be fine to play in Week 3, but he'll be facing a tough Baltimore defense on the road. The veteran led a nice fourth-quarter comeback to beat […]

Tom Brady Has Fantastic Matchup Against Lions

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have an excellent matchup in Detroit against the Lions Sunday night. Brady is off to a solid, if unspectacular, start to his season with 511 yards, five touchdowns and one interception through two games. Brady will go up against a Lions defense that was shredded by Jets quarterback […]

Taylor Lewan Not Out Of Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) said he's still in the league's concussion protocol, but it looks like he'll get in a limited practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Lewan will have to pass the protocol in order to play on Sunday against the Jaguars, but it looks like he's on track […]

Sam Bradford With Minimal Fantasy Value In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford has a difficult matchup ahead of him in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. After two poor games to open the season, Bradford has to prove critics wrong this week in order to hold onto the starting job. Therefore, the veteran signal-caller is nothing more than a low-end QB2 for […]

Marcus Mariota Trying To Build Strength In Hand

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) has been trying to build strength in his hand in practice this week while dealing with a nerve issue in his elbow. "They way they explained it to me, it’s like when you strum a guitar string,” Mariota said. “When that string settles down, that’s kind of similar to […]

Teddy Bridgewater Is Saints Backup QB

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater "absolutely" is the team's backup behind Drew Brees. "He's doing well," Payton said. "I'm pleased. ... He's a quick study and I think the (quarterback) room's doing well. I think right away, you can tell he got comfortable with what we're calling things, protections." […]

Andrew Luck Likely to Struggle Against Philadelphia

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has slowly been returning to form over the first two weeks of the NFL season, but he draws a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 that fantasy owners should be extremely cautious of. Irrespective of the fact that Eagles boast one of the best defensive lines in football, […]

Offense To Be Paired Down For Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to simplify their playbook heading into Week 3 against the Bears as a way to get more production from quarterback Sam Bradford and the rest of the offense. Through two weeks, the Cardinals have one touchdown. Bradford was 17-for-27 with just 90 yards in the Week 2 34-loss to the […]

Aaron Rodgers Won't Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with the rehab group again on Thursday, which means he won't practice. The team is following the same format as last week when Rodgers didn't practice until Saturday. Rodgers played the whole game in Week 2 against the Vikings and while he clearly wasn't 100 percent, […]

Russell Wilson On Week 3 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Also practicing in full were cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebacker Bobby Wright (groin). Wilson will be fine for Week 3 against the Cowboys, but he should be downgraded to a QB2 moving forward. He just hasn't had any time to throw […]

Derek Carr A Streaming Option For Week 3

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has 591 passing yards and an 80.6% completion rate in two games against two of the better pass defenses in the NFL. He's only thrown one touchdown, but that number figures to rise significantly, perhaps as soon as Week 3. Carr's next opponent is a Dolphins defense that has shown […]

Aaron Rodgers Concerned He'll Make Knee Worse

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is concerned that his left knee could worsen if he continues to play on it. He played with a brace on his knee in Week 2 against the Vikings and made it through the whole game, but he admitted that his knee "obviously won't be 100 percent, so […]

Sam Bradford Is Still The Starting Quarterback

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford is still the team's starter, according to head coach Steve Wilks. Wilks stated that Bradford would be the team's quarterback for the foreseeable future despite calls to play rookie quarterback Josh Rosen following two poor performances from Bradford. Even though Bradford will start this weekend, he should not be considered […]

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) did not get in a practice on Wednesday. The Packers will probably take it easy on Rodgers as he fights through a knee injury early in the season. Don't be surprised if he doesn't practice again until Saturday. We fully expect him to suit up again, though, and […]

Anthony Castonzo Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Castonzo was looking set to return in Week 2 but had a setback in the middle of the week. He's off to a bad start again this week as he looks to make his season debut. If he sits out again, Le'Raven Clark, […]

Drew Brees Should Continue Success Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is off to a fantastic start to the first two games of the season, completing 65 of 80 passes for 682 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions. Brees will take on the Falcons in Atlanta this week and the future Hall of Famer is 16-9 in his career against […]
