Paxton Lynch Could Soon Be Gone

Denver Broncos quarterback Chad Kelly's play in training camp may force the team's hand to keep him as a developmental prospect on the active roster behind starter Case Keenum. The Broncos have given Paxton Lynch, a former first-rounder, plenty of chances, but he continues to struggle and finds himself third on the depth chart. Signing […]

Decision On Carson Wentz Could Come Friday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said he's likely to make a decision on quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) on Friday. The Eagles still do not know if Wentz will be able to start in Week 1, and we probably won't know for sure until this weekend. Wentz has top-five upside at his position, but his […]

Take A Hike - Drafting An Elite Quarterback

The popular sentiment these days is to wait on quarterbacks and draft them late so you can load up on position players first. While this can work in many cases, let’s look at the other angle and ponder taking a quarterback earlier in the draft. While this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Jason Katz

In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]

Josh Rosen's Status Up In Air For Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (thumb) is uncertain for Thursday's preseason finale against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Steve Wilks said he is still mulling over whether or not the rookie will play. "Health is one, and also his ability to make sure he keeps his timing," Wilks said. "We want to make sure he […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well in Saturday's Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played well in Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Mahomes was 18-for-24 with 196 yards and one touchdown on Saturday. The reports out of Chiefs camp were that Mahomes has struggled with interceptions, but he seemed fine against Chicago. Mahomes did not throw any interceptions in the loss […]

T.J. Lang Returns To Practice

Detroit Lions right guard T.J. Lang returned for his first practice in several weeks. Head coach Matt Patricia has been very tight lipped about injuries this preseason, so it is unclear what exactly kept Lang out for so long, including the team's first three preseason games. However, just last week, Lang mentioned that if it […]

Nathan Peterman More Than Adequate In Second Half

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman got the call with one minute to go in the second quarter of the Bills 26-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He came into the game to replace starter Josh Allen, who exited the game to be checked for a possible concussion. Allen was cleared to return, but […]

Raiders Confident In Kolton Miller

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said he's confident in rookie offensive tackle Kolton Miller as the team's starting left tackle. Miller impressed the team in training camp and has won the starting left tackle job heading into the regular season. Veteran Donald Penn will start at right tackle. Miller has a lot of responsibility […]

Tyrod Taylor Will Not Suit Up For Preseason Finale

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (finger) will not play in the preseason finale Thursday against the Detroit Lions, as head coach Hue Jackson has confirmed that he will rest his starters to get ready for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taylor left the all-important third preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles this past Thursday […]

Baker Mayfield Set To Start Thursday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will make the start in the preseason finale on Thursday against the Detroit Lions. Head coach Hue Jackson confirmed that he will rest his starters in the preseason finale in order to preserve them for the Week 1 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "It opens up for Baker to play […]

Trevor Siemian The Unquestioned Backup

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that quarterback Trevor Siemian is the unquestioned No. 2 behind starter Kirk Cousins. Kyle Sloter, the third-stringer, has had a strong preseason with a passer rating of 111.4 to Siemian's 82.3. However, Sloter has never played in a regular season NFL game, while Siemian has 24 career starts. […]

Andrew Luck Dealing with Foot Injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (foot) is reportedly dealing with a minor foot injury that he suffered on a sack in Week 3 of the preseason against the San Francisco 49ers. Colts head coach Frank Reich noted that the severity of the injury is so small that it is something that Luck would play through […]

Aaron Rodgers Misses Practice with Illness

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (illness) did not practice on Monday on account of an illness. It is not expected to be serious or threaten his ability to start the regular season. Rodgers was highly unlikely to play in this Thursday’s preseason game prior to this. He is even less likely to play now. […]

Denzelle Good Week-To-Week With Knee Injury

The Indianapolis Colts offensive line has left much to be desired for quarterback Andrew Luck's entire career. Right tackle Denzelle Good (knee) is considered week-to-week with his most recent injury in his much-maligned career. While the Colts weren't considered to have a top-end offensive line, Good represents a significant upgrade over the players behind him on […]

Josh Rosen Doesn't Play On Sunday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (hand) was held out of the team's game on Sunday against the Cowboys. Rosen has looked every bit the rookie throughout the preseason - however, he still looks like a good bet to take over from Sam Bradford at some point. Although the injury isn't long-term, don't expect Rosen to […]

Mike Glennon Plays Well Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon (forearm) had the best outing for a Cardinals signal-caller, completing eight of 10 passes for 35 yards. Rookie quarterback Chad Kanoff also had ten pass attempts, but was only able to complete four of them. Finally, Sam Bradford had one completion for six yards on four attempts. It looks as […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Bill Dubiel

I mean, if you're not putting out absolute fire takes in the preseason, can you REALLY call yourself a fantasy football analyst? Some of Rotoballer's big dogs are bringing you their bold predictions for the 2018 fantasy football season, and we might as well kick it off with the biggest dog in the yard, right? […]

Teddy Bridgewater - A Path to Start in 2018?

It’s reasonable to be a little bearish on the Teddy Bridgewater’s chances of playing a real NFL snap in 2018. In fact, it’s actually a safe bet. Las Vegas sports books would agree with that assertion, by the way. Of five prominent sports books that provided futures odds on quarterbacks to win the passing yards […]

Josh Allen Roughed Up In Preseason Start

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) completed just six of his 12 pass attempts for 34 yards in his preseason start over the weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was sacked five times, and eventually checked out of the game in the second quarter to be checked for concussion. The rookie checked out and was […]

Drew Brees Makes Preseason Debut Against Chargers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees made his preseason debut against the Chargers, completing 7-of-9 passes for 59 yards and one interception in the Saints third preseason game. The object of the preseason for a player like Brees is to make it through healthy and ignore the results. The 39-year-old is coming off another 4,000-yard […]

Tom Brady Sharp In Third Preseason Game

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 12-of-18 passes for 108 yards in the Patriots 25-14 preseason loss to the Panthers. Brady looked like vintage Brady spreading the ball to several receivers before calling it a night. The third preseason game is typically the dress rehearsal for starters on most teams before the season begins. […]

Andrew Luck Still Lacks Velocity on Throws

Stephen Holder of The Athletic believes that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's (shoulder) "fastball" is not where it needs to be. Though Holder recognized that Luck's accuracy has returned, the Colts offense has noticeably been more focused on getting the football out quickly rather than deep throws. As Luck's shoulder continues to heal, fantasy owners […]

Carson Wentz Not Yet Cleared for Contact

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has not yet been cleared for contact. With Week 1 rapidly approaching, the decision on Wentz may come down to the last minute. If he can't go, Nick Foles would be under center for Week 1, and the Eagles will hope Super Bowl Foles shows up, and not Preseason […]

Josh Rosen May Play Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (hand) may not play against the Cowboys tonight. The rookie sustained a hand injury in Monday's practice and was largely held out of training on Wednesday. Rosen is the backup to Sam Bradford this season and will find it hard to have any meaningful fantasy contributions while Bradford is […]

Sam Bradford Likely To Start Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will likely start tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran signal-caller is expected to be the entrenched starter for the team for the foreseeable future and should play most of the minutes in the team's third preseason game. Bradford should be considered a QB2 for the 2018 season with a […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws for 115 Yards in Preseason Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was 11-for-16 passing with 115 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. Tannehill was one of the few bright spots in a miserable preseason showing from the fins. Coming off a catastrophic knee injury in 2016 Tannehill looks healthy and like vintage Ryan Tannehill. […]

Lamar Jackson Shows Improvement Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson stuffed the stat sheet in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Dolphins. Jackson completed seven of his 10 passes, including one for a score, while adding a rushing touchdown as well. Baltimore's coaching staff implored Jackson to improve his throwing approach throughout the week, and the rookie did just that […]

Kurt Benkert Fails To Impress Saturday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert once again struggled to make an impression in the third preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a tough outing against the Kansas City Chiefs, Benkert really need to have a good outing against the Jaguars. However, Benkert managed to go 6-of-14 with 89 yards passing. The fact that […]

Matt Schaub Solid Saturday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub had a solid, if unimpressive, outing Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Schaub threw the least amount of passes of any of the Falcons QBs with just seven. He completed four of those passes for 65 yards and managed to avoid being sacked. Schaub's relative lack of game time is further […]
