Daniel Jones A Low-End QB2 In Week 4

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is a low-end QB2 in Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The Giants QB could be without two of his top targets as both wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) are questionable for Week 4. He's made an impact with his legs but otherwise has […]

Jared Goff Will Need To Protect The Football In Week 4

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will go up against a reeling Bears team in Week 4. Goff has flashed signs of competent offensive football but the Lions offense, as a whole, has struggled to put four quarters together. Goff has committed three turnovers through the first three weeks and will face a Bears defense that […]

Jameis Winston Tough To Trust In Week 4

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will take on the Giants in Week 4. Winston has thrown for 387 yards with seven touchdowns, two interceptions, and a rushing score through three weeks of play, though five of those passing scores came in a very efficient Week 1 effort. Also, it's become clear that head coach […]

Andy Dalton, Justin Fields Expected To Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said the team expects quarterbacks Andy Dalton (knee) and rookie Justin Fields (hand) to practice in some capacity on Wednesday. Dalton remains the team's starter when healthy, but his status remains up in the air for Week 4 against the Detroit Lions after he suffered a bone bruise in […]

No Surgery Planned For Ronnie Stanley

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) will continue his rehab for another couple of weeks with hopes of returning sooner than later, according to a source. After visiting with a doctor this week, he will hold off on having surgery. The sooner the Ravens can get their starting left tackle back, the better. […]

Brett Hundley Moves Past Jacob Eason On Depth Chart

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Brett Hundley will remain the team's backup in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, and he has officially moved past Jacob Eason on the QB depth chart.

Re-Drafting 2021: What Changes Would We Make?

It's three weeks into the season, so we've started to notice some trends that have emerged. Some players have more usage than we expected. Some offenses are playing at a faster pace. Some teams look utterly lost. So, if we could do it all over again, what would we do differently? That's the basic question […]

Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 3

The unders struck again in Week 3 with 11 of 16 NFL games failing to hit their projected point total.

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Something or Nothing?

Week 3 of the NFL season is now in the books and while we saw many familiar names register top-fantasy performances there were a few surprises.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began. Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss time with a hamstring injury suffered Thursday night, which means rookie Chuba Hubbard will be added everywhere by frustrated C-Mac stakeholders or sniped by others looking to spite their league mates. […]

The Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 4

We're cooking with gas now and officially entering Week 4. Keep tinkering with your roster, especially with those last 1–2 bench spots.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It has been ugly through three games for Zach Wilson and the Jets offense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence has been a turnover machine through his first three starts, throwing seven interceptions compared to five touchdowns for Jacksonville.

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance had 49ers fans going wild after he scored his first career rushing touchdown in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups- Week 4

Another week of NFL football is almost in the books and once again scoring was held relatively in check. Only six teams were able to able to surpass 30 points scored across the league despite several matchups that should have had shootout conditions.

Ben Bredeson Could Miss Time With Hand Injury

New York Giants left guard Ben Bredeson (hand) suffered a hand injury in the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons that could force him to miss some time, according to sources. It partially explains why the team signed offensive guard Wes Martin off the Washington Football Team practice squad on Monday. If Bredeson is […]

Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Isaac Seumalo (foot) suffered a Lisfranc injury in the Monday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys and will require season-ending surgery.

Isaiah Wilson Gets A Workout With The Giants

Offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson worked out for the New York Giants on Tuesday. Wilson was a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2020, but he only played in one game due to numerous off-the-field incidents. Wilson was then dealt to the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but he only lasted 12 days with more off-the-field […]

Seahawks Waive Jake Luton

The Seattle Seahawks waived quarterback Jake Luton on Tuesday. Luton had been inactive in all three games this season. Veteran Geno Smith will now be the lone option backing up Russell Wilson, although it's certainly possible that Luton is brought back to be a member of the practice squad. Luton played in three games for […]
