Is Anthony Richardson Injured Or Playing In Week 17? Should I Start Joe Flacco For Fantasy Football?

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had high expectations entering the 2024 season. Unfortunately, the second-year pro has struggled on the field and for fantasy players.

Drake Maye Questionable To Return On Saturday

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (head) is questionable to return to Saturday's clash with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Carolina Panthers second-year quarterback Bryce Young has looked much better late in the season after being benched early on for veteran Andy Dalton.

We saw him start in place of Tagovailoa after he suffered a gruesome concussion back in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. He cracked 10 fantasy points in his […]
