Tom Brady To Receive More Rest Days

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is finally going to get a designated rest day. The 45-year-old quarterback will sit out of practice on every Wednesday.

Justin Herbert Has A Chance To Play In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) has a chance of suiting up for Week 3, according to Ian Rapoport. The 24-year-old suffered fractured rib cartilage, but the team views it as more of a pain tolerance issue. The organization got good results back on their tests, so they believe Herbert can play through the […]

Jameis Winston Expected To Play In Week 2

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) is expected to play on Sunday against Tampa. The veteran is dealing with a back injury, although fortunately, he should be good to go.

Josh Allen A QB1 Against Titans

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen looks to keep his strong play going against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.

Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season has come and gone. With it comes a little more clarity when it comes to player evaluation.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

Mayhem in Week 1. About 60 percent of many survivor pools were eliminated thanks to losses by the 49ers, Bengals, Titans, Broncos and a tie from the Colts. Imagine the damage if the Saints didn't score 17 points in the final 11 minutes including a 51-yard field goal with 19 seconds left. This carnage isn't […]

Jonah Jackson Downgraded To Doubtful

Detroit Lions offensive guard Jonah Jackson (finger) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Commanders. The 25-year-old had been questionable with a finger injury, so he's certainly trending in the wrong direction. However, if Jackson is ruled out, which will likely happen, it won't be an ideal situation for a Lions […]

Joe Burrow Hopes To Rebound From An Ugly Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow certainly would like to put Week 1 behind him. He finished the season-opener versus the Steelers by throwing four picks while fumbling twice.

Justin Fields - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Russell Wilson Tipped Plays In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett said Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson tipped some of the plays in the Week 1 loss by using the same old hand signals that he used while playing for Seattle.
