Nick Foles A Jekyll And Hyde QB

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles can often be an all-or-nothing quarterback. In 51 games in which he's thrown a pass (including the playoffs), Foles has had a passer rating of 100 or higher 22 times, including four times in the playoffs. However, he's also had a passer rating of lower than 80 in 17 of […]

Jaguars Have High Expectations For Blake Bortles

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said he wants "zero turnovers" from quarterback Blake Bortles in 2018. While that's obviously unrealistic, Bortles didn't have a single turnover in three playoff games last year and also finished the season with a career-low 13 interceptions. During the preseason, Bortles had three picks and a 67.3 completion rate. […]

Anthony Castonzo Won't Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 1 against the Bengals is to be determined, according to head coach Frank Reich. Castonzo has the most important job on the team's offensive line, and that is to protect quarterback Andrew Luck. Not having him in the […]

Kirk Cousins Should Be Top-10 QB In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will be looking to prove himself in the Week 1 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Cousins has been a consistent fantasy performer over the past three seasons, and now he is at the helm of the best offense he has ever played with. The 49ers allowed the 12th most […]

Prep For The Playoffs Now! Drafting QB Based on Playoff Opponents

While playing the same quarterback at the end of the season that you draft at the beginning is not guaranteed, there may be some leagues in which it is a must. Whether it be a best ball league (acceptable) or a league which limits roster moves (unacceptable!), if you need to find a quarterback in […]

Three Overvalued Quarterbacks - Potential ADP Busts

Quarterback is one of the most predictable and deepest positions in fantasy, so it is not a spot where you want to take risks. Sure, you could draft Aaron Rodgers early, or you could wait and get Philip Rivers really late. There are many ways to play the quarterback position, and the only thing that […]

Case Keenum Offering Intriguing Upside in Week 1

The once imposing Legion of Boom is now merely a legion. Free safety Earl Thomas is still holding out for a new contract and isn't likely to play in Week 1 "until something changes," per Ian Rapoport, leaving some major question marks around this already Richard Sherman-less Seattle secondary which allowed 224.5 passing yards per […]

Jets Visited With Connor Cook

The New York Jets had a visit with free-agent quarterback Connor Cook on Tuesday, according to a source. However, the team ended up signing Webb to their practice squad. Cook was cut by the Raiders over the weekend and should wind up on another team's roster before long.

Mitch Trubisky Has Plenty To Prove In Week 1

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will finally give fantasy owners a glimpse of the Bears revamped offense when they take on the Packers Sunday night in Week 1. Head coach Matt Nagy has decided to still almost all of his starters for the entire preseason and Trubisky still lacks game experience. Trubisky scored nine total […]

Cam Newton Has Great Opportunity This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a great opportunity to play the Dallas Cowboys in his season opener on Sunday. Last season the Cowboys ranked 15th, allowing 16.3 points to opposing quarterbacks. The Panthers should have an opportunity at home to expose the lack of a pass rush that the Cowboys have. Given the dual […]

Eli Manning To Face Stout Jaguars Defense Week 1

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will have his hands full to open the season when the Giants host the Jaguars. Manning is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season in 2017 and will have a tough test right out of the gate. The Jaguars defense last season allowed the fewest fantasy points to […]

Matt Ryan Could Have Tough Outing Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could be in for a tough day against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday. Last season the Eagles ranked 22nd, allowing an average of 15.86 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Last season, in the playoffs Ryan threw for 210 yards and a touchdown when facing the Eagles. Defensively the Eagles have […]

Tom Brady Looks To Shred Texans Again In Week 1

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will take the field to begin his 19th season Sunday against the Texans. Brady absolutely shredded the Texans in Week 3 of last season, completing 25-of-35 passes for 378 yards and five touchdowns. The Texans also allowed 30 touchdowns and the second most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Has Difficult Week 1 Matchup

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could struggle on Sunday against a Vikings defense that allowed just 11.7 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position last season. The San Francisco signal-caller went undefeated as a starter in 2017, but only scored 20-plus fantasy points in one of five matchups. Even though Garoppolo's 2018 outlook […]

Teddy Bridgewater Excited To Work With Drew Brees

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater says that he is excited to work with and learn from Drew Brees. After being traded from the New York Jets less than a week ago, Bridgewater is on a one-year contract with the Saints. At nearly 40 years old, Brees will certainly be leaving the NFL in the […]

Cowboys Not In Market For Backup QB

Dallas Cowboys owners Jerry Jones said the team isn't in the market for a backup quarterback "at this time." The Cowboys were high on free-agent quarterbacks Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook two years ago, but they will go with Cooper Rush and Mike White as the backups to Dak Prescott to start the year. Lynch […]

Trent Brown Will Play Sunday

New England Patriots left tackle Trent Brown had an excused absence from practice on Tuesday and will return Wednesday and play in Week 1. Brown has the all-important job of protecting quarterback Tom Brady's blindside in 2018.

Jets Sign Davis Webb To Practice Squad

The New York Jets signed free-agent quarterback Davis Webb to their practice squad on Tuesday, releasing quarterback John Wolford in a corresponding move. The former third-round pick was surprisingly cut by the Giants over the weekend. He's merely a stash in the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Carson Wentz Is Close

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is "close" to being ready. Wentz will be out for the season opener this Thursday against the Falcons, but he appears to be on track to return in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Wentz has top-five fantasy upside at his position and would be […]

Giants Like Kyle Lauletta As Backup

The New York Giants have been impressed with rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta enough that they waived Davis Webb over the weekend. The experience of 30-year-old Alex Tanney also won him a spot on the roster as the third QB. However, the team will visit with free-agent quarterback Matt McGloin this week. Head coach Pat Shurmur […]

Joe Flacco Locked In As Week 1 Starter

Despite the Baltimore Ravens decision to keep quarterback Robert Griffin III on their 53-man roster, Joe Flacco is locked in as the Ravens Week 1 starter against the Buffalo Bills. Flacco heads into the matchup facing one of the worst pass rushes in the league, according to Pro Football Focus, which ranks 31st in the […]

Nick Foles Unlikely to Replicate Super Bowl Heroics in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will get the start for the Eagles in Week 1, but he isn't a recommended starter for your fantasy team. With the team's top wide receiver, Alshon Jeffery (shoulder), missing the first game, Foles will have a limited cast to work with. Foles is currently in the lower end of […]

Ben Roethlisberger A QB1 Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will open the 15th season of his NFL career against a familiar foe when he travels to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Much has been made of Roethlisberger's struggles on the road in recent years but the Pro Bowl quarterback will go against a Cleveland secondary that allowed the […]

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated and Undervalued?

Why? Why is it so hard for analysts and fantasy players to give Kirk Cousins any respect? By this point in time he must be feeling like Rodney Dangerfield. Yes, he is going to a new team with a new offense. But this is where the hardship stops. Despite obvious upgrades across the field and […]

Drew Brees A QB1 Option For Week 1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will have a favorable matchup when he takes the field Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The 39-year-old will face a Buccaneers looking to improve upon allowing the 14th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2017. Brees completed 44-of-57 passes for 509 yards and three touchdowns in two games […]

Bills To Work Out Paxton Lynch

The Buffalo Bills will work out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch on Monday, according to sources. Lynch was a first-round bust for the Broncos in 2016 and has looked overwhelmed whenever he has stepped on an NFL field. He could become the team's No. 3 behind Nathan Peterman and rookie Josh Allen, though. Lynch is no […]
