Trevor Lawrence - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence should be on fantasy benches in leagues that start only one QB this week as he takes on the imposing Bills defense. The rookie has been up and down as of late, but overall he's averaging just 14.5 fantasy points per game this season. Lawrence deserves some of the […]

Teddy Bridgewater - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater ended a streak of three straight games with an interception in the Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team, but he completed only 19 passes for 213 yards and one touchdown. Bridgewater has only two 300-yard passing games in 2021 with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions, making him the […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 9: Kadarius Toney, Justin Fields, and more

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. This Thursday, we already witnessed a rookie have a major breakthrough. First-year wideout Elijah Moore put up a solid stat line for the New York Jets, tallying […]

Mac Jones - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is coming off a below-average performance during the Week 8 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones has been able to help the Patriots stay in games, but he isn't an ideal fantasy option right now. He'll head into a Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who rank […]

Cardinals To Play It Safe With Kyler Murray?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers, and general manager Steve Keim said the team needs to "be smart" with the signal-caller and "think about the big picture." It sounds awfully similar to the company line that the Dallas Cowboys used a week […]

Projecting the Titans Offense Without Derrick Henry

The initial shock of Derrick Henry's season-ending injury was a stinging slap to the face of the Titans fanbase right after a fourth straight victory that has them sitting as the top seed in the AFC. For fantasy football GMs in a similar position thanks to the RB1's dominance, it's been a similarly tumultuous week. […]

Taysom Hill Will Play Against Falcons

The New Orleans Saints named quarterback Trevor Siemian as their starter for the Week 9 contest against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, but head coach Sean Payton said that Taysom Hill (concussion) will also play in the game. Hill missed the team's last two games but has cleared the concussion protocol and will be active this […]

Blake Jarwin, Tyron Smith Ruled Out For Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) and left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) have both officially been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jarwin suffered his injury in the Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings, while Smith aggravated his ankle injury last Sunday night and is now […]

Matthew Stafford Expected To Play Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) didn't practice all week, but head coach Sean McVay expects him to play on Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. Stafford is managing a back issue that isn't believed to be serious, but the fact that he was held out of practice all week makes […]

Sam Darnold Questionable For Sunday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Darnold could clear the concussion protocols by Saturday, though head coach Matt Rhule noted that the shoulder injury is as much of an issue as the concussion. The signal-caller was a limited participant at Friday's practice, with Rhule leaving the […]

Kyler Murray Expected To Be A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) wasn't at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, and AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban anticipates Murray being a game-time decision for Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. The good news is that head coach Kliff Kingsbury and Murray said that he wouldn't need to practice at […]

Dolphins Optimistic Tua Tagovailoa Will Play In Week 9

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (finger) banged the finger on his left throwing hand during last week's game against the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa has experienced swelling and soreness in his finger, but Flores is optimistic that he will play in a great Week 9 matchup against the one-win Houston […]

Jets Think Mike White Can Practice Next Week

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that he thinks quarterback Mike White (forearm) should be able to practice next week. The Jets are also hoping that rookie first-rounder Zach Wilson (knee) can return to practice next week. White made it only two drives on Monday night against the Indianapolis Colts before having to […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Fantasy managers who started Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had to be expecting more when they plugged him into their lineups against a Dallas Cowboys defense ranked 26th against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. While he didn't play poorly, the conservative play calling and continued check-downs and short-passing game led to a season-low 5.26 yards per attempt […]

Quarterbacks - Rest of Season Rankings for Fantasy Football

In a typical year, quarterback rankings aren't too important once we approach the midpoint of the season. As you know, this year has been anything but typical and that especially applies to the football world. Just this past week, several quarterbacks have suffered serious injuries and some big-name players will need to be replaced. Fantasy […]

Trevor Siemian Expected To Start Sunday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian, who relieved Jameis Winston (knee) last week, is expected to start on Sunday against the Falcons. Even with Taysom Hill back healthy from a concussion, the Saints seem inclined to roll with Siemian under center, which speaks to their confidence in the former Bronco's ability to run the offense. […]

Josh Allen - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has really turned it around after a slow start to the season. Coming into Week 9, Allen has nearly 2,000 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions through seven games. Fantasy managers should be happy about that and his elite matchup in Week 9. He'll get a Jacksonville Jaguars […]

Justin Herbert - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has struggled in back-to-back starts and will face a tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 9. The sophomore has shown signs of being a top-tier option at his position, but he has also thrown up a few dud performances. For the season, Herbert has thrown for 1,994 yards with […]

Patrick Mahomes - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has struggled this year and he will look for improved results versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. Mahomes has thrown for 2368 yards with 19 touchdowns, but he has thrown 10 interceptions. The interceptions have been a huge problem for the signal-caller with him throwing at least […]

Ben Roethlisberger - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, hip) will take on the Chicago Bears at home on Monday Night Football in Week 9. Roethlisberger continues to show a limited ceiling in his age-39 campaign, throwing for more than one touchdown in just one of his seven contests. The Bears represent a neutral matchup for Roethlisberger, as […]

Josh Johnson Notches Over 300 Yards

New York Jets quarterback Josh Johnson stepped up and delivered against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. The third string QB was asked to take over after starter Mike White (forearm) went down after the second drive of the game. Johnson for some reason came in over newly added veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. Nonetheless, Johnson […]
