Baker Mayfield Activated From COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns officially activated quarterback Baker Mayfield from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Mayfield was put on the COVID-19 list on Saturday after he came in close contact with a staff member who had tested positive for the virus.

Ben Roethlisberger Has Good Chance Of Playing Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was placed on the COVID-19 list this week because he was deemed as a high-risk close contact of tight end Vance McDonald, has a very good chance of playing in Week 10 against the division-rival Bengals. His last close contact with McDonald came on Sunday, so if Roethlisberger continues […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 9

This series continues into its ninth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 9, we saw performances such as the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers combining for five receptions, Josh Allen throwing for 415 yards, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 9's Studs Turned Duds

The outdated thought in fantasy was that running backs carry the top end of a team, while the depth of wide receiver allowed managers to use many more options from that position. The latter remains true, but the former no longer is. There is no top end of the running back position. In Week 9, […]

We're past Week 9 already and entering the home stretch of the season, which means you will be fighting harder than ever to procure that sweet playoff spot.

NFL Playoffs Could Be Expanded This Year

The National Football League owners approved a proposal on Tuesday to add two playoff teams -- eight in each conference -- if regular season games get cancelled due to COVID-19.

Cam Newton Sore After Big Hit Monday Night

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (neck) is dealing with a sore neck after getting hit hard during a sack in the Monday night win over the Jets. "My neck is only working on a degree angle that shuts off the degrees to one side. So my eye muscles are getting a lot of work […]

The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

Week 9 was an all-around awful one for me from a fantasy/gambling perspective, so I'm a little ticked off as I settle in to write this week's edition of the Cut List. My starting QB in my primary home league, Justin Herbert, had a last-second touchdown taken off the board. Chase Edmonds logged 88 yards […]

Ben Roethlisberger Placed On COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins, running back Jaylen Samuels, and linebacker Vince Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday morning.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 10

Week 9 has come and gone (minus Monday night's impending dumpster fire between the Patriots and Jets) and teams just keep hitting their offensive stride. After a slow Week 8, NFL offenses erupted once again with one 400-yard passer (Josh Allen) and 10 different 300-yard passing efforts. Additionally, two quarterbacks had four passing touchdowns with […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Typing Week 10 feels strange, but it's true -- we are hitting the home stretch of most fantasy football regular seasons! We had many COVID-19 scares but all games were played once again. Key injuries included David Johnson (concussion), David Montgomery (concussion), Justin Jackson (knee), Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring), Preston Williams (foot). Christian McCaffrey also seemed […]

Week 9 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 8, the weather was great in Week 9 and there were some shootouts. Four quarterbacks registered more than 30 fantasy points and three more exceeded 25 with Kyler Murray leading the way. At tight end Travis Kelce exploded for 159 yards finishing as the No. 1 tight end on the week and T.J. Hockenson finished […]

Cam Newton Scores Two Rushing Touchdowns

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was able to somewhat rebound against the New York Jets in Week 9. He completed 27 of 35 passing attempts for 274 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. It wasn't a great statistical outing by Newton passing the ball, but he was able to salvage his fantasy value […]

Joe Flacco Surprisingly Lights Up Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco looked surprisingly decent versus the New England Patriots in Week 9. He completed 18 of 25 passing attempts for 262 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the loss. Honestly, this was the best Flacco has looked all year, but fantasy owners shouldn't get their hopes up. Sam […]

Mekhi Becton Injured Monday Night

New York Jets rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (chest) suffered a chest injury in the Monday night game against the division-rival Patriots. Becton is one of the few bright spots on a winless Jets team, so his loss will be a big one if he can't make it back in this game or has to […]

Jaguars Projected To Have Most Available 2021 Cap Space

The Jacksonville Jaguars are projected to have $100 million in salary cap space heading into the 2021 season, which would be the most in football.

Pittsburgh Expects Ben Roethlisberger To Play In Week 10

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knees) sustained injuries to both of his knees during Sunday's win over the Cowboys, one of which necessitated a trip to the locker room shortly before halftime. But after undergoing tests Monday, there is optimism that he will have enough time to heal before a Week 10 outing against the […]

Sam Darnold, Quinnen Williams Inactive Monday Versus Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) and defensive end Quinnen Williams (hamstring) have both officially been ruled out for Monday's game against New England. Darnold's injury woes mean that Joe Flacco will once again get the start under center, but with the Jets' offense not having been run particularly smooth with the veteran at […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots

After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of […]

Monday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Patriots vs. Jets

Monday Night Football doesn't feature two heavyweights this week, unfortunately, as the 0-8 Jets play host to the 2-5 Patriots. However, that doesn't mean we can't gamble on it and I know you got else better to do on Monday night than to watch two bad teams battle it out in an AFC East grudge […]

Andy Dalton The Starter When He's Cleared

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that quarterback Andy Dalton is the team's starter whenever he's cleared from the league's COVID-19 protocol. Garrett Gilbert stepped in admirably against the unbeaten Steelers in Week 9, going 21-for-38 for 243 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
