Russell Wilson got a lease on his NFL life after the Pittsburgh Steelers signed him to a one-year veteran minimum deal.

The Carolina Panthers announced on Tuesday that second-year quarterback Bryce Young will not play in the preseason opener this Thursday versus the New England Patriots.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback Jordan Love will play in this week's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns.

Sam Darnold Named Vikings Starting Quarterback

The Minnesota Vikings have listed Sam Darnold as their starting quarterback on the first unofficial depth chart, with rookie J.J. McCarthy and Nick Mullens tied for the backup spot.

Five Dynasty Fantasy Football Risky Buys Worth Gambling On

I've been participating in the great sport of fantasy football for nearly two-thirds of my life at this point.

Jayden Daniels Named Starting QB For Commanders

The Washington Commanders have named rookie Jayden Daniels their starting quarterback on the season's initial depth chart, a decision many had widely anticipated.

Jeff Driskel […]

2024 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidate: Aidan O'Connell

In the 2023 offseason, the Raiders made a big splash by replacing Derek Carr with Jimmy Garoppolo.

However, Garoppolo was subpar and was replaced by fourth-round rookie QB Aidan O'Connell. After two wins in […]

Bryce Young May Not Appear In The Preseason

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that there's a chance that second-year quarterback Bryce Young won't play in any preseason games.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said that his first-team offense will play in the team's second preseason game this Friday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mason Rudolph Impressing In Competition For Backup Role

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph has looked very comfortable and has been remarkably accurate as he battles Malik Willis for the No. 2 QB role behind Will Levis in training camp this summer.

Justin Fields Could Make Things Interesting In Pittsburgh

Quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) entered training camp in "pole position," and it appeared that the starting job would be his to lose in his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Geno Smith Back At Practice

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (hip, knee) has returned to training camp practice on Monday and is doing some throwing in full pads.
