This week, we're looking at the recent play of Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. After a choppy start to his NFL career, is Fields finally positioned for success? He's now […]

Davis Mills A Risky Option In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills should be mainly off the fantasy radar for Thursday night's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, while the Texans throw for an average of 196 yards per contest, which ranks 25th in the NFL. With Nico Collins (groin) out and Brandin Cooks […]

Coaching Matters: Offensive Outliers From Week 8

This is the eighth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 8, we saw stat lines such as the Arizona Cardinals running back room combining for 30 rushing yards, the Philadelphia Eagles […]

Derek Carr Will Look To Bounce Back Against Jacksonville

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 15-of-26 passes for 101 yards and an interception in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints. The Raiders were shut out as the offense struggled to move the ball in last Sunday's loss against New Orleans. Carr will look to bounce back against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. […]

Jalen Hurts A Must-Start, Even In Tough Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will travel to Houston to face the Texans on Thursday night. The third-year quarterback posted a career-high four touchdown passes last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he now faces a Houston defense that allows the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. The Texans have been burned […]

No Timetable For Panthers To Activate Sam Darnold

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said it's tough to say when the team will activate quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle), whose 21-day window ends next Tuesday. If the team doesn't activate him by then, he'll remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. Wilks said that Darnold looks good, but he also […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for QBs: Ryan Tannehill, Matt Ryan

We don't have super impactful quarterback injuries to monitor in Week 9, but with six teams on a bye, fantasy managers in two-QB or superflex leagues will surely have to keep up to date.

Ryan Tannehill Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the veteran quarterback would practice on Wednesday. He added, "they'll continue to work through things and see how it goes." The former Texas A&M quarterback missed last week's 17-10 win over the Houston Texans because of the ankle injury […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Marcus Mariota has been a steady, if unspectacular, producer in this run-heavy Atlanta Falcons offense. Although it seems as though Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith would sometimes rather take a frying pan to the face than throw the football, Mariota has overcome […]

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and like always, nothing happened. Wait. I'm being told that actually a whole lot happened, as we ended up with the most active NFL trade deadline ever.

Matt Ryan Won't Practice Again This Week

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) won't practice again this week due to his right shoulder injury. Injury issues aside, the Colts said last week that they have benched Ryan for the rest of the year in favor of Sam Ehlinger. It's highly likely that Ryan will be inactive for the Week 9 contest against […]

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Kadarius Toney, Jaylen Warren, Travis Homer, Marcus Mariota, Terrace Marshall

These fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions are for fantasy managers in deep leagues of 14-teams or more or a higher number of bench spots than traditional fantasy leagues. […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 9

Through seven weeks of NFL football, the 43.4 total points per game average is the lowest it has been since 2010. This, of course, is resulting in much lower fantasy matchups, but it's making what to do with the backend of our fantasy rosters an absolute nightmare. In recent years, fantasy managers seemed to be […]

Deshaun Watson Will Start When He's Eligible

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said that suspended quarterback Deshaun Watson will start the first game that he's eligible on Dec. 4 at the Houston Texans, even though Jacoby Brissett has been "everything we hoped when we signed him." Watson will be available to fantasy managers starting in Week 13, so if you're in […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 9)

Week 8 provided a glimmer of hope for offensive football in 2022. Eight teams (a 2022 season high!) scored at least 30 points in Week 8. Collectively, offensive line play didn’t improve immensely, but we also dodged any significant long-term injuries for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, Week 9 is one of […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The quarterback position has been a real grab-bag for those combing the waiver wire in 2022, and Malik Willis is the most recent of rookies to make their debut start.

Eagles vs. Texans Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Miles Sanders, Dameon Pierce, DeVonta Smith, Brandin Cooks, Dallas Goedert, Davis Mills

From Thursday Night Football only hitting the over once in the first six weeks, we now have back-to-back high-scoring affairs on Thursday. Last week, this touchdown trend carried right into the weekend with some massive performances. A.J. Brown, D’Onta Foreman, Alvin Kamara, and Tony Pollard all got a turkey of touchdowns.  Thankfully, we get to […]

When Will Deshaun Watson Return? Should I Pickup Deshaun Watson For Fantasy Football?

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson hasn’t played a regular-season game since the 2020 season. The veteran quarterback sat out the entire 2021 season after he refused to play for the Houston Texans. More importantly, the superstar ultimately faced 26 allegations of sexual assault. The allegations made trading Watson impossible, which helped led to him sitting […]

Marcus Brady Relieved Of His Duties In Indy

The Indianapolis Colts relieved offensive coordinator Marcus Brady of his duties on Tuesday. The move comes a week after the team benched veteran quarterback Matt Ryan as the starter in his first year with the organization. Head coach Frank Reich has been calling the offensive plays in 2022, with Brady working on game-planning and play […]

Austin Jackson Activated, Liam Eichenberg Placed On IR

The Miami Dolphins activated offensive lineman Austin Jackson (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday and placed offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg (knee) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Eichenberg suffered an MCL injury in the Week 8 win over the Detroit Lions and will now miss at least the next four games. Jackson has been […]

Mike White Now The Backup To Zach Wilson

The New York Jets now list quarterback Mike White as the No. 2 QB behind starter Zach Wilson. Veteran Joe Flacco was a healthy scratch in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, and he's now No. 3 on the depth chart after starting the first three games of the season with Wilson […]
