Cam Newton A Clear Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a fantastic opportunity against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Building on from the previous week against the Atlantic Falcons where Newton put together an impressive 335 yards and three touchdowns in the air added to his 42 yards on the ground. The Bengals haven't looked like an elite level […]

Marcus Mariota Splits First-Team Reps

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed much, but head coach Mike Vrabel said Mariota and Blaine Gabbert split the first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday. The team will continue to prepare both quarterbacks to play in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Mariota was active in Week 2 but didn't play at all, […]

Eli Manning A Risky Week 3 Play

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will try and kick start his season when he goes up against the Texans in Week 3. Manning's limited athleticism has really cost him through the first two games playing behind a shaky offensive line. The weapons on the Giants offense are undeniable but Manning's ability to get them […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Parker was limited last week but didn't play for the second straight week. It's already looking like he's primed to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders, which […]

Dak Prescott Not a Starting Option for Week 3

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a starting option in a Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Prescott has now thrown for 212 yards or fewer in nine of the past 10 games he's started. In eight of those games, he's thrown fewer than two touchdowns. He's essentially become the middle man to […]

Case Keenum Being Held Out As Precaution

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) will be held out of practice on Wednesday as a precaution due to knee soreness from Week 2, according to a league source. Keenum is expected to return to practice on Thursday and play in Week 3 against the Ravens. The veteran signal-caller led a nice fourth-quarterback comeback over […]

Billy Price To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals rookie center Billy Price (foot) is dealing with a foot injury that isn't a Lisfranc injury. However, he's in a walking boot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Price hadn't been very effective in his first two career games, so this might not wind up hurting Cincinnati too much. Expect Trey Hopkins […]

Nick Foles Heads to the Bench in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is back to holding a clipboard in Week 3. With Carson Wentz (knee) returning to a starting role, Foles will go back to being one of the better backups in the NFL. Foles was able to lead the Eagles to a 1-1 start despite not playing nearly as well as […]

Carson Wentz Could Disappoint Excited Owners in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is finally back in the starting lineup for Week 3, but he might not be a great fantasy option. Wentz is coming back from a major knee surgery to a team with two legitimate receiving options. He was excellent last season, but is due for significant touchdown regression, and […]

Ben Roethlisberger Travels To Tampa Bay In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger turned in a big Week 2 performance, accounting for four touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs. Through two weeks, the star quarterback comes in as the overall QB7 in scoring in six-point per passing touchdown leagues. Roethlisberger will look to keep it up in Week 3 when the Steelers travel […]

Tyrod Taylor A QB2 On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor heads into his Thursday night Week 3 matchup as the QB17 in scoring in six-point-per-touchdown pass leagues. The veteran signal-caller has been mostly mediocre for the Browns in his first two games, passing for 443 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 103 yards and a score. He […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 3)

After two weeks of the regular season, we can start to figure out which teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders, doomed to pick in the top of the 2019 NFL Draft. There is a common theme with the underperformers so far: poor offensive line play. The Giants, Cardinals, Seahawks all have been awful […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 3 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous Waiver Wire pickups list, we now present suggested percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Below you will find our FAAB auction bidding recommendations for those playing in FAAB waiver wire leagues. As a caveat, these prices do not by any means […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Up is down, black is white, cats and dogs are living together. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best QB in football (OK, behind Pat Mahomes) and Blake Bortles doubled Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points this week. Also, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, and Leonard Fournette are sidelined by injuries while Le'Veon Bell continues to sideline himself. Also, […]

Matt Ryan Could Have Monster Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will be looking for a monster day at home Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Ryan had two passing and two rushing touchdowns in the Falcons home win over the Panthers last Sunday. The New Orleans Saints were torched by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the season opener, giving up four […]

Jameis Winston Being Sued By Uber Driver

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, currently serving a three-game suspension, is being sued by the Arizona Uber driver who accused him of sexual assault by groping her in March of 2016. Kate P. is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. Winston hasn't been criminally charged in the incident and is unlikely to face further […]

Pete Carroll Says Russell Wilson Was Over-Trying

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said quarterback Russell Wilson was "over-trying" in Monday night's Week 2 loss to the Bears on the road. Wilson went 22-for-36 for 226 yards, two touchdowns, an interception returned for a touchdown and a lost fumble. He was also sacked six times, with five coming in the first half. […]

Russell Wilson Sacked Six More Times

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson struggled in the team's Week 2 loss to the Bears and was sacked another six times. Wilson has now been sacked 12 times in the team's first two games, and there's not much relief in sight. Wilson still threw two touchdowns during the Monday night showdown, but he also threw […]

Rams Waive Brandon Allen

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving quarterback Brandon Allen on Tuesday, according to a source. He is a candidate to land on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers, but he was attractive to three teams when the Jaguars let him go last year. Sean Mannion will continue to serve as the main and […]

Bills Sticking With Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that the team will stick with rookie quarterback Josh Allen heading into Week 3 against the Vikings. “I thought he did some good things,” McDermott said of Allen. “He's a young quarterback. Each game, we expect him to get a little bit better and grow. That's […]

Sam Bradford May Have One More Chance

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks has remained non-committal as to who will start the team's third game of the season at quarterback. However, because he hasn't expressed an immediate commitment to rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, it may be that Sam Bradford gets one more chance at the starting role. Whoever starts for the Cardinals […]

Week 3 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We had another wild and woolly week of action in the NFL, and some big quarterback performances from unlikely sources once again in Week 2. Many owners prefer to set and forget at quarterback, but for those of us that like to play the streaming game we've got to be on top of matchups every […]

DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension. "He's been on fire right now," Jackson told NFL Network's Scott Hanson and Willie McGinest on Monday. "With the way the team is rallying behind him and […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3

I have already written A.J. Green an apology letter. After noting that I would "hesitantly" put the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver in the must-start category for last week's Thursday Night Football Matchups column due to the Baltimore Ravens' history of finding ways to keep him in check, he subtly responded by catching three touchdown passes […]

Mitch Trubisky Still A Work In Progress In Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 25 of 34 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as the Bears beat the Seahawks 24-17. Trubisky passed for multiple touchdowns for the first time in his career but still left some plays out on the field. The Bears got on the board off of a […]
