Sam Howell Tosses Two Touchdowns In Loss To Chicago

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell completed 37-of-51 passes for 388 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception along with four rushes for 19 yards and a two-point conversion in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears.

Derek Carr Limited Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in Week 3 but was surprisingly active in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carr threw for over 300 yards in his first game […]

Desmond Ridder Remains Avoidable For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has been unable to find much success early in the season. Despite that, head coach Arthur Smith is sticking with Ridder under center for at least one more game. Last week, Ridder took four sacks and threw two interceptions as the Falcons lost a lopsided game to the Jacksonville Jaguars. […]

Kenny Pickett Upgraded To Full Practice Participant

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) was a full practice participant on Thursday, putting him on track to start in Week 5 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens despite suffering a bone bruise in his left knee in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans.

Ryan Tannehill A Low-Floor Steamer Against Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown for 788 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in 2023. He's added 28 yards and a touchdown as a runner. His stats are far from impressive, but Tennessee's offense came alive in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals, so hopefully, brighter days are ahead of the 35-year-old signal-caller. […]

Dak Prescott Set To Manage Another Game In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been good enough on the field to lead the Cowboys to a 3-1 record, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy option so far. Prescott is the overall QB24 and hasn't been better than QB17 in any game this season. He's mostly game managing while the Dallas defense […]

Jared Goff A Fringe QB1 Against Panthers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,029 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions through four weeks of game action. The 28-year-old is leading one of the best offenses in the NFL, but since he rarely adds rushing stats to his fantasy production, his floor is never truly safe. That said, he's set to […]
