Trevor Lawrence A Solid QB2 Option With QB1 Upside In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a fantastic QB2 option with QB1 upside in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. The second-year quarterback struggled in Week 4 versus the Philadelphia Eagles in an ugly weather game in which he threw an interception and fumbled the ball four times. The silver lining for the Clemson product […]

Matthew Stafford Faces Stifling Cowboys Defense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford faces a stingy Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 5 and should not be trusted as a starting QB in fantasy football.

Jacoby Brissett A QB3 In Week 5

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett will take on the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 5. Brissett has played well for Cleveland in 2022, posting 830 passing yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions through four games. The Chargers represent a decent matchup for him as they are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game […]

Brian Hoyer Placed On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer (concussion) has been placed on the injured reserve. That means, Hoyer will miss at least the next four weeks of action. Mac Jones (ankle) is still banged up as well, so Bailey Zappe could be asked to start in Week 5. At this moment, it sounds like the Pats […]

Struggling Justin Fields Not Fantasy Viable In Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will take on a Vikings defense in Week 5 that is allowing the 17th fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through four games. The Bears offense is averaging an unsightly 97.2 passing yards a game, dead-last in the NFL and Fields has been running for his life. Couple that with […]

Thankfully, both QBs […]

Tom Brady Returns To Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (finger, shoulder) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan is coming off his strongest game of the season in Week 4. He has thrown for over 350 passing yards in two of the first four games.

Tom Brady Misses Practice With Multiple Injuries

Russell Wilson Good To Go For Thursday Night

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (shoulder) put in three limited practices this week and was removed from the final injury report on Wednesday, so he will suit up on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts.

Jameis Winston Misses Practice On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) was held out of practice on Wednesday after missing the team's Week 4 contest.
