Baker Mayfield Replaces PJ Walker In Week 9

Carolina Panthers quarterback PJ Walker has been benched following an atrocious first half against the Cincinnati Bengals. Baker Mayfield took over to open the second half, looking to eat away at a brutal 35-point deficit. Neither player should be viewed as anything more than a QB3 in fantasy football going forward.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields continues to show improvement despite the team getting blown out last week.

Mac Jones An Option In Superflex Leagues

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones had a modest performance in last Sunday's start against the Jets.

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 9: Tom Brady, David Montgomery, and Michael Pittman Jr.

With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's okay to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has struggled this year. The veteran has averaged only 11.5 fantasy points per game, his lowest average since his rookie season.

However, Burks has […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback PJ Walker finished as the fantasy QB15 against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8 but will face a much more difficult opponent in the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
