Taylor Lewan Must Still Pass Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) is making progress, but he must still pass the concussion protocol in order to practice this week. The Titans are one of the most beat up teams on the offensive line, and starting quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) sat over Blaine Gabbert in […]

Carson Wentz Won't Be Held Back

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will not be limited at all in his season debut in Week 3 against the Colts. "He's going to be prepared mentally, now it's a matter of the physical part taking over," Pederson said. "... In my mind, he's cleared, he's cleared. No need […]

Aaron Rodgers Didn't Further Damage His Knee

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) didn't do any further damage to his knee by playing in Week 2 against the Vikings, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

Kirk Cousins Stellar In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was exceptional in a 29-29 tie against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Cousins threw for 428 yards on 35-for-48 passing. He also tossed four TD passes, while giving up an interception (although it was entirely Laquon Treadwell's fault). He is clearly starting to adjust to the Vikings offense […]

Marcus Mariota's Status Hasn't Changed

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed since Friday or Saturday of last week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Mariota was active in Week 2 against the Texans but didn't play at all and was dealing with numbness in his fingers last week. It's not looking good for his chances of playing […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Six Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a career day against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Mahomes went 23-for-28 with 326 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions. Mahomes now has 10 touchdowns in the first two weeks. No one expected Mahomes to be this good, but he's looking like an elite quarterback right now. […]

Jon Halapio Out For The Season

New York Giants center Jon Halapio (ankle, leg) broke his lower leg and ankle in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will have surgery to fix both injuries. He will miss the rest of the season.

Carson Wentz Will Start In Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has been medically cleared and will start in Week 3 against the Colts, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Backup Nick Foles was much better against Tampa's weak secondary, but the Eagles appear confident that Wentz is as close to 100 percent as he's going to get. Against a […]

Cam Robinson Suffers Torn ACL

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 against the Patriots and will miss the rest of the season. Robinson was a young up-and-coming left tackle, so this is a big blow to the Jaguars offensive line and is bad news for quarterback Blake Bortles.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is of course still suspended next week and as previously stated his job may be in jeopardy, but in two-QB leagues or deep leagues where waivers are thin for quarterbacks Winston isn’t a bad stash.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold didn’t have a great fantasy performance and made his share of mistakes in this game, but he has shown promise in the first two weeks of the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was impressive in Jacksonville’s 31-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday, throwing for 377 yards and four touchdowns.

Throughout the first two games on his inaugural season, Darnold has compiled 532 yards […]

Matt Ryan Has A Bounce-Back Performance Sunday

Dak Prescott Doesn't Do Much Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 16 of 25 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the New York Giants. He also ran the ball seven times for another 45 yards.

Philip Rivers Dominates Buffalo

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed 85% of his passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 2 win over Buffalo.

Nick Foles Exceeds Expectations in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exceeded expectations in Week 2, throwing for 334 yards and a touchdown, completing 35 of his 48 passes.

Jimmy Garoppolo Has Mediocre Outing

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18 of 26 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions. It was another underwhelming fantasy performance for the 49ers signal-caller, especially given the favorable matchup.

Jared Goff Impressive In Win Over Cardinals

The Los Angeles Rams defense was elite in a shutout win over the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Jared Goff wasn't too shabby either. He threw for 354 yards with a touchdown with one interception. The Rams offense should be among the best in the NFL, which makes Goff a good option each week. He has three […]

Derek Carr Has Impressive Game, But Raiders Fall Short

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr posted a very impressive stat line, but it wasn't enough as they lost to the Broncos 20-19. Carr ended with 288 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions on 29-for-32 passing. It ended up being an average fantasy game for Carr, but this is now two straight weeks to start the season […]

Blaine Gabbert Throws A Touchdown In Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert was not asked to do much from the coaching staff in Week 2 against the Houston Texans, but he did just enough to secure a win for the injury-riddled Titans.
