Week 12 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 12 was a little frustrating for quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray all finishing outside the top-10. Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes finished as the top-two quarterbacks on the week, while the main surprise was Mitch Trubisky who relied on garbage-time production to finish as QB-6. Robert Tonyan returned to relevance […]

Wednesday Night Football Matchup Analysis - Week 12

I initially wrote this preview for the Thanksgiving Thursday Night matchup between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, however, a lot has changed since then.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts took his first snap of his NFL career without starting quarterback Carson Wentz also on the field.

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio is hoping that three of his quarterbacks, including starter Drew Lock, will be cleared on Tuesday from the league's COVID-19 protocols and said that additional discipline is still "on the table" for Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles. Lock, Rypien and Bortles were deemed high-risk close contacts of Jeff […]

Russell Wilson Efficient In Week 12

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a good matchup in Week 12, but he didn't do a ton with it against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. He completed 22 of 31 passes for 230 yards and a score. He also had five carries for 13 yards. The Seahawks focused a ton on balance in […]

Rams Never Considered Benching Jared Goff

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay called out quarterback Jared Goff for turning the ball over too much in the Week 12 loss to the 49ers, but he later expressed confidence in Goff and said he never considered benching him.

Anthony Castonzo Dealing With MCL Sprain

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich confirmed on Monday that left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain, and it's "too early to tell" how much time Castonzo will miss.

Matthew Stafford Demurs When Asked About Lions Future

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will have a new head coach when he takes the field Sunday against Chicago in offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. The team moved on from Matt Patricia following a Thanksgiving loss that dealt a crucial blow to their playoff chances in 2020, leading Stafford to say, "I'll figure that out and […]

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has been unable to orchestrate his team to victory thus far in 2020, failing to put a touchdown on the board in the team's loss Sunday to Miami. But head coach Adam Gase is sticking with Darnold as his starter, saying, "I think Sam is the starter and we […]

The Washington Football Team and Pittsburgh Steelers had been scheduled for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff during Week 13, putting them in the early slate.

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 12 Primetime Slate - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football

Another week of NFL football in Week 12 and another game that was derailed by COVID-19.

Then the game got pushed again to Tuesday […]

Philadelphia Eagles veteran offensive lineman Jason Peters (toe) will play on Monday night against the Seahawks despite having a broken and dislocated toe that will require surgery in the offseason, according to a source.

Adam Gase, Dowell Loggains Splitting Play-Calling For The Jets

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains have been splitting the play-calling duties around 50/50 for around the last four games.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) will head West this week to have reconstructive knee surgery on his ACL, and the procedure will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.
