Justin Herbert Tosses Two Interceptions In Brutal Loss

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert had a game to forget in a Week 13 loss versus the New England Patriots. The Chargers lost 45-0 in this matchup and the rookie was just 26-for-53 on the afternoon with two interceptions. Herbert was overmatched the entire game and he can chalk this up as his […]

Carson Wentz Benched After A Terrible Start

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was benched for the final four series of the game on Sunday after getting off to a horrendous start. Wentz completed just six of his 15 pass attempts for 79 empty yards. He added 18 yards on three carries, but was just completely lost on the field against the Packers […]

Colt McCoy Manages Giants To Road Win

New York Giants quarterback Colt McCoy played efficiently and made enough plays when needed to help the Giants earn a big road victory in Seattle. McCoy completed 13 of his 22 passing attempts (59%) for 105 yards, one touchdown, and one interception that wasn't entirely his fault as it bounced off Evan Engram's hands and […]

Ryan Tannehill A Season High Passing Yards

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 29 of 45 pass attempts for 389 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in Week 13 against the Browns. Tannehill took advantage of the rare volume by topping 375 yards for the second time since taking over as the team's quarterback in 2019. While Tannehill has largely been efficient […]

Tua Tagovailoa Throws For Nearly 300 Yards

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) was in danger of sitting out during the Week 13 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Luckily, he played and performed well in this contest. He completed 26 of 39 passing attempts for 296 yards with one touchdown in the win. The first half was a struggle for Tagovailoa, but […]

Matt Ryan Has Quiet Day In Loss To Saints

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 19 of 39 passes for 273 yards and one touchdown in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Ryan got his favorite target back in Julio Jones but was unable to get much going until he salvaged his day with a late, fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Russell Gage. In Ryan's […]

Sam Darnold Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold surprisingly didn't play completely awful during the Week 13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 14 of 23 passing attempts for 186 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. This game was the first time that Darnold has thrown a passing touchdown since Week 3. Finally, Darnold […]

Taysom Hill Excels Against Falcons Again

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill was terrific in his second showing against the Falcons, finishing the game by going 27-for-37 for 232 yards and two touchdowns along with getting 14 rushes for 83 yards. Hill continues to prove his value in both the rushing and passing game but instead excelled with his arm on […]

Kirk Cousins Rifles Three Touchdowns In OT Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 28-of-43 passes for 305 yards, three touchdowns, one interception and one fumble lost in the Vikings 27-24 overtime win over the Jaguars. Cousin's performance was not without its blemishes but continues to post quality fantasy lines throwing to dynamic receivers like Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. Cousins has now […]

Brandon Allen Can't Get Anything Going On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen threw for 153 yards, a touchdown, and an interception during the loss to Miami in Week 13. He also had two carries for three yards. While the 28-year-old played better on Sunday than he did against the Giants last weekend, the team's horrendous offensive line couldn't keep the Dolphins Defense […]

Mitchell Trubisky Fumble Spoils Solid Day

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky completed 26-of-34 passes for 267 yards, one touchdown and one costly fumble in the Bears 34-30 loss to the Lions in Week 13. The Bears offense moved the chains throughout the game in perhaps its best offensive effort of the season. But with the Bears backed up on the field […]

Philip Rivers Tosses Two Touchdowns In Win

Indianapolis Colts quarterback had a strong performance in a 26-20 win against the Texans. He threw for 285 yards, two touchdowns, and posted a passer rating of 119.3. His passer rating in today's game was his highest since Week 8 and the third time in four games he has posted a passer rating over 100. […]

Matthew Stafford Rips Bears For 402 Yards In Comeback

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 27-of-42 passes for 402 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Lions thrilling 34-30 comeback win over the Bears in Week 13. In Detroit's first game with interim coach Darrell Bevell, the passing offense came alive as it picked apart a tough Bears Defense the entire game. Stafford […]

Deshaun Watson Accounts For 379 Total Yards, One Score

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 26 of 38 passes for 341 yards and an interception in the 26-20 loss to the Colts. Watson added 38 rushing yards, two fumbles, and a score, as he kept the Texans in the game throughout. The star signal-caller was scrambling around all day- his day could be summed […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Four TDs In Win Over Titans

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield delivered a big win over the Tennessee Titans for his team in Week 13. Mayfield was impressive, completing 25 of 33 passes for 334 yards and four touchdowns in the 41-35 win over Tennessee. The outing goes in the books as Mayfield's first 300-yard passing game in the 2020 season. […]

Brandon Allen Heads To Locker Room, Ryan Finley Takes Over

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen (undisclosed) suffered an injury after a sack in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Allen was down on the ground for a while, then went straight to the locker room as Ryan Finley entered the game to replace him. Allen was 11-for-19 for 153 yards, one […]

Sunday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Broncos vs. Chiefs

Sunday Night Football has arrived and we get treated to an old fashioned AFC West showdown featuring the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Daniel Jones Officially Inactive For Week 13

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Jones was doubtful ahead of the game, so fantasy managers should have already been preparing for Colt McCoy to get the start against a Seahawks Defense that has struggled in 2020. Is it bad enough to justify starting […]

Gardner Minshew II Active, But Not Starter

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is back, but he isn't stepping into the starting role. Mike Glennon will start at quarterback against the Vikings, a defense that's susceptible to the pass. Minshew not returning to the starting role is a bad sign for his NFL future and seems to confirm that the Jaguars […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Start In Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is officially active for the Week 13 contest against the Bengals. He's expected to be the starter over Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tua's the future in Miami, but this offense does play better with Fitzpatrick under center. His return lowers the fantasy ceiling for the Miami pass catchers, and even in […]

Panthers Have Two Positive COVID Tests

Two Carolina Panthers players have tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday morning, but because the team is on a Week 13 bye, the positives should not impact any games this week. It's also too early to speculate if this puts Carolina's Week 14 game against the Broncos in jeopardy, though it'll be important to monitor […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 13) - Targets and Avoids

Last week I railed against the referees, but after what this past week showed, some coaches were simply horrendous. From Mike McCarthy running that awful fake punt, to Anthony Lynn's numerous mistakes, it was downright awful. Everyone is going after Lynn for the debacle at the goal line with under 20 seconds left and rightly […]
