Derek Carr A Fringe QB2 Option In Week 1

New Orleans Saints' quarterback Derek Carr finished as the QB16 overall last season after some impressive games down the stretch.

C.J. Stroud A Steady QB1 Option In Week 1

At his ADP this season, most fantasy managers drafted Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to start him every week, and Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts should be no exception.

Geno Smith Outside Of The QB1 Options In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith finds himself outside of the starting options at the position in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.

Russell Wilson Limited At Thursday's Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is dealing with calf tightness and was limited at Thursday's practice, according to Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly.
