Case Keenum Not A Safe Option In Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum may be able to lift the fantasy profiles of a couple of his pass-catchers on Sunday, but he's far from a shoe-in to help fantasy owners in the same way. No one really knows which Cowboys team is going to show up in any given week, but they do have […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Week 17 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston didn't perform quite as fantasy owners were hoping in Week 16, but he has a big chance to bounce back against a giving Atlanta Falcons secondary in Week 17. From a fantasy perspective, this season has been Winston's best. The fifth-year signal-caller undoubtedly helped carry many fantasy teams this […]

Aaron Rodgers Should Be Able to Do Damage Against Lions

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers draws a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers didn't have a great game against Minnesota last week, as he was uncharacteristically inaccurate. The 36-year-old gets a great chance to bounce back against the Detroit Lions, who currently own the league's worst pass defense. Over the last […]

Drew Brees Upgraded To Full Participant On Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Brees showed up as limited on a "hypothetical" practice report, though Coach Sean Payton said Brees is "fine." Fire up the red-hot signal-caller as a QB1 in a big game against the Carolina […]

Derek Carr A Risky Week 17 Option

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has posted two 20-point fantasy performances over his last three weeks, but will face a tougher test this Sunday versus the Broncos. The Denver defense has surrendered the sixth-fewest passing yards in the league (215.3 YPG), and the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position this season (14.7 FPPG). They've also […]

Matt Ryan Is Trustworthy In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 384 passing yards in Week 16, his second-highest yardage output of the season. This week, Ryan and the Falcons have a favorable matchup against a very vulnerable Buccaneers pass defense. Ryan should be able to top 300 yards once again in the game, however his upside would take […]

Josh Allen Might Be Risky In Week 17

There's been nothing yet to suggest that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won't start the team's Week 17 matchup against the Jets. However, the Bills are locked into the fifth seed in the AFC and with nothing to play for in Week 17, the Bills could very well end up resting Allen for around half […]

Dak Prescott Set For a Strong Week 17

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled mightily in Week 16 but should be set up for a solid bounce-back performance against Washington in Week 17. In a game the Cowboys absolutely must win (and then hope for an Eagles loss), Prescott should be ranked as a top-five fantasy option. Coming off a scoreless 265-yard performance, […]

Carson Wentz Set Up for a Good Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is set for a solid performance in a Week 17 matchup with the New York Giants. Wentz and the Eagles will be playing in a win-and-in game so will surely leave it all on the field. Wentz just threw for 319 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys in Week […]

Week 16 Surprises? Takeaways and Overreactions

In Week 16, the quarterback position was kind of a mess. Jameis Winston and Deshaun Watson were playing against each other in a potential smash spot as each opposing defense performed consistently poorly against the pass throughout the season. Instead, both Winston and Watson struggled in what amounted to an exciting, but disappointing game. Daniel […]

Tom Brady Has Favorable Matchup Against Dolphins

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will wrap up the regular season against a Dolphins Defense that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to passers this season. The Dolphins have allowed multiple touchdowns to 12 of the 15 quarterbacks they have faced this season, including 17 scores over their last six played. Brady enjoyed […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Little Week 17 Value

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will put a bow on his disappointing season in Week 17 against the Vikings. After a stretch of promising football, Trubisky has reverted back to his old, ineffective ways the past two games. Now he will take on a Vikings Defense that, may not be playing for much with their […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like a couple of games off the field made wonders for Daniel Jones, right? The rookie came back after handing the reins to Eli Manning in weeks 14 and 15 and he performed as good as ever: 5 (!) touchdowns did […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton lost the starting nod earlier in the year and was riding the pine as soon as in Week 10. He did so for three games and was back starting again for the Bengals in Week 13. This past weekend, though, marked his […]

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We can’t pretend Drew Lock is a fantasy darling, but in his four professional games as a starter so far he’s done enough to be considered a good second-fiddle and QB2 in such leagues. This past weekend he bounced back a bit and although […]

Gardner Minshew (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though it wasn’t his best game ever, Gardner Minshew was able, once again, to do enough to be considered a good play in 2QB leagues all around the nation. Sure, the 181 yards on 13 completions were not mind-blowing, nor was his 41.9 […]

Steelers Place Mason Rudolph On Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed quarterback Mason Rudolph (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ending his season. Rudolph came off the bench in Week 16 against the Jets to spell an ineffective Devlin Hodges, but he didn't last long. Rudolph did his best to keep Pittsburgh afloat after the team lost Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) just two […]

Bills Don't Plan To Rest Starters

Buffalo Bills head coach Doug McDermott said that the team doesn't plan to rest starters in Week 17 against the Jets. "I wish I could take them all out.

Kyler Murray Will Practice Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray's MRI exam on Monday showed that he just "tweaked" his right hamstring in the Week 16 upset over the Seahawks. All signs are starting to point towards Murray being available for the regular season finale against the Rams […]

Kirk Cousins Underwhelms In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 16 of 31 passes for 122 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a dismal 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Cousins just couldn't get anything going all night as he was inaccurate and plagued by an offensive line that got thoroughly dominated. Cousins' touchdown pass was a […]

Aaron Rodgers Struggles Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 26 of 40 passes for 216 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. It was a shaky night for Rodgers, who struggled with accuracy at times and put out his third-lowest yards per attempt mark of the year, 5.4. It's also […]

Steelers Optimistic About Ben Roethlisberger's Recovery

The Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will recover from elbow surgery to reattach three tendons in his right arm.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that if Murray is ready to go, he'll play on […]

Dwayne Haskins To Miss Regular Season Finale

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) will miss the Week 17 game against the Cowboys after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 16 against the Giants. His ankle injury will require a few weeks of rest and rehab, so it'll end Haskins' rookie season. It's a shame, too, as he was finally starting […]

Lamar Jackson, Others Won't Play In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Early Thomas, right guard Marshal Yanda and defensive tackle Brandon Williams won't play in Week 17 against the Steelers.

Texans Don't Plan To Rest Starters In Week 17

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said he has no plans to rest players in the Week 17 finale against the Titans despite likely being the AFC's No. 4 seed for the playoffs.
