Teddy Bridgewater Engineers Huge Upset Over Cowboys

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater led one of the most improbable upsets of the NFL season on Sunday in a 30-16 Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys on the road. Bridgewater went 19-for-28 for 249 yards and a touchdown and he added a touchdown run on a QB sneak. He also converted a two-point […]

Lamar Jackson Explodes In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished with 266 yards and three touchdowns on 27-for-41 passing during the overtime win over the Vikings. He did throw two interceptions as well. However, the signal-caller managed to offset his erroneous tosses by racking up 120 yards off 21 carries, nearly more touches than Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Injures Leg Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (leg) was injured during Sunday's loss to Arizona. During the post-game press conference, the veteran reported he sustained a lower leg injury during the second half. He was also observed walking somewhat gingerly, so it would appear that his status for Monday Night Football against the Rams in Week […]

Joe Burrow Struggles Against The Browns

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn't have the day many had expected. Instead, he finished with 282 yards and threw two interceptions during the unexpected loss to the Cleveland Browns. After the signal-caller tossed three touchdowns in each of his last three outings, the former LSU Tiger failed to find the end zone for the […]

Mac Jones Survives Against Carolina

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones didn't have much success during the Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie quarterback completed 12-of-18 passing attempts for 139 yards and one touchdown with one interception in the win. He also lost a fumble, but somehow the Patriots managed to win the game. Jones continues to […]

Daniel Jones Game Manages Giants To Victory

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 15-of-20 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 17 yards on four attempts in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The Giants relied heavily on the running game as the team recorded 31 rush attempts in Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old threw for a […]

Trevor Siemian Tosses For 249 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian finished 25-for-41 for 249 yards and two scores in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. The QB also lost a fumble. It seems Siemian could be the starter for the rest of 2021 if Taysom Hill doesn't jump him and the team doesn't sign a free agent. Nevertheless, Siemian has proved […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Passes For Over 300 Yards In Week 9 Loss

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 28 of 40 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception during a 31-17 Week 9 loss against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kirk Cousins Accounts For Three Touchdowns In Vikings Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins put up another solid performance in a 34-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Cousins only threw for 187 yards in the game, but did manage two touchdown passes and added another score on the ground. It was another disappointing loss for the Vikings, but Cousins' fantasy managers have to […]

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Commit Turnover In Week 9

For the first time in seven games, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn't commit a turnover. As encouraging as that was, Mahomes still had an underwhelming performance in a Week 9 victory versus the Green Bay Packers. The signal-caller completed just 20 of his 37 pass attempts for 166 yards and a touchdown on […]

Jacoby Brissett Manages To Beat Texans

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett was asked to start under center for the Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans. Normal starter Tua Tagovailoa (finger) was ruled out before the game started on Sunday. That meant, Brissett took over as starter again for the first time since Week 5. He completed 26-of-43 passing attempts for […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs In Week 9 Win

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 14 of 21 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns in a 41-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.

After two consecutive underwhelming performances, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert bounced back in a Week 9 victory versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The sophomore signal-caller completed 32 of his 38 pass attempts for 356 and two touchdowns with no turnovers. He also chipped in on the ground with five rushes for 14 yards and a […]

Mike McGlinchey Done For Rest Of Week 9

San Francisco 49ers tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. The 26-year-old injured his knee during the second quarter of the contest and was initially labeled as questionable before being subsequently ruled out. This is not good news, especially since the 49ers have struggled to stay afloat against an Arizona […]

Trevor Lawrence Helps Lead Jags To Upset Win

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished with 118 yards on 15-for-26 passing during the upset win over the Bills. Although the first overall pick didn't have the best outing, he avoided any costly errors, opening the door for the defense to keep Josh Allen in check throughout the contest. A scary moment occurred in the […]

Dak Prescott Struggles In His Return

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) struggled in his return to the starting lineup in a Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Prescott completed 19 of his 39 pass attempts, gaining 232 yards. He tossed for two touchdowns, both in the fourth quarter, and one interception. Prescott just looked off for most of the […]

Josh Allen Looks Awful Against Jaguars

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was expected to be an elite QB1 for the Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Instead, Allen was straight up horrendous and couldn't get anything going in the surprising loss to Jacksonville. Allen completed 31-of-47 passing attempts for 264 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions. He also added […]

Matt Paradis Suffers ACL Tear, Done For The Year

Carolina Panthers center Matt Paradis (knee) will miss the rest of the season. During the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots, the veteran injured his knee and needed to be carted off the field. The official diagnosis is a torn ACL, which is unfortunate considering the team's struggles since winning its […]

Tyrod Taylor Throws Three Interceptions In Loss

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled mightily in his return to the field Sunday against the Dolphins. Taylor threw for 240 yards and rushed for 23 yards but was held without a score, as he threw three interceptions. The dual-threat signal-caller was in a position to succeed against a beatable Dolphins defense but also didn't […]

Sam Darnold Intercepted Three Times In Loss To Patriots

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold struggled mightily in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Facing a familiar foe, Darnold saw the ghosts of old, tossing three interceptions against Bill Belichick's defense, one of which was returned 88 yards for a score. The 24-year-old was on the injury report all week with a shoulder injury and concussion, […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 343 Yards, Scores Three Touchdowns

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 22 of 30 passes for 343 yards with two touchdowns through the air and one on the ground in a 27-25 win over the Saints. Ryan was aggressive downfield, as he had several completions go for 30 yards or more while averaging a season-high 11.4 yards per attempt against […]

Derek Carr Throws Two Interceptions In Sunday's Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 30 of 46 attempts for 296 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 23-16 loss on Sunday against the New York Giants. For all the good work the 30-year-old did in the first half, the pick-six he threw to open up the third quarter ultimately set […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Out For Week 9

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) are both out for Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. Colt McCoy will start at quarterback, but hopefully Murray's fantasy managers planned ahead, because McCoy against the 49ers defense isn't someone you want in your starting lineup. As for the receiver position, A.J. Green […]

Trevor Lawrence Returns To Game

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bills after briefly heading to the locker room. Keep an eye on Lawrence to make sure the ankle doesn't act up in the second half, but it looks like the No. 1 overall pick is good to go for the Jags under […]

Trevor Lawrence Questionable To Return In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills. He exited during the second quarter and was helped to the locker room. Lawrence is currently 11-for-15 for 80 yards with two rushing yards as well. Jacksonville's offense has struggled to move the ball during Lawrence's rookie year. If […]

Sam Darnold Is Active Against Patriots

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is officially active in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. Darnold cleared the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in Week 8, but a shoulder injury made him a game-time decision this weekend. There were questions as to whether the 24-year-old would start, even if he […]

Tua Tagovailoa Not Starting On Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (finger, ribs) won't start on Sunday against Houston. The signal-caller is dealing with a small fracture in his middle finger. However, he will still be active for emergency purposes, although Jacoby Brissett will start during the ideal matchup against the Texans. Brissett has streaming appeal in deeper formats while also […]
