Gardner Minshew Throws Two Touchdown Passes In Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew had a solid game against the Raiders in Week 15. He completed 17-of-29 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns. He was turnover-free in the game and also added 27 rushing yards. Minshew had disappointed in his past three starts, failing to top 200 yards in two of the games […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Serviceable in Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick turned in another solid performance in a losing effort on Sunday, throwing for 279 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-20 loss to the New York Giants. Fitzpatrick didn’t throw an interception for the first time in more than a month but still managed to contribute a brutal turnover, fumbling […]

Patrick Mahomes Bounces Back Versus Denver

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to bounce back after three straight mediocre performances. Mahomes completed 27 of 34 passing attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns and one interception in the Week 15 victory. It wasn't a perfect game for Mahomes, but it was in snowy conditions. He was able to play […]

Tom Brady Delivers Two Touchdowns In Easy Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 15 of 29 passes for two touchdowns in the team's 34-13 romp of the hapless Bengals in Week 15. The Patriots ran the ball 32 times to 29 passes in a game that was close in the first half. But New England pulled away for good in the […]

Aaron Rodgers Held In Check, Plagued By Drops

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 16 of 33 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Rodgers likely would have had a better stat line if not for several drops by his receivers, including a beautiful deep ball that slipped right through Marquez Valdes-Scantling's breadbasket. Still, […]

David Blough Posts Underwhelming Week 15 Performance

Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough was not able to get much going in the Lions Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Blough completed 24-of-43 attempts for 260 scoreless yards and two interceptions on the day. The rookie also accounted for 19 yards on the ground on five attempts. Blough is clearly not ready […]

Andy Dalton Plays Miserably Against Patriots

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton went 17-for-31 passing for 151 yards, while throwing four interceptions and a touchdown during the loss to New England in Week 15. With Dalton without A.J. Green (ankle), who hasn't played a game this season, along with the recently injured Auden Tate (knee), the veteran wasn't able to get anything […]

Mitch Trubisky Comes Up Short Against Packers

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 29 of 53 passes for 348 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Bears 21-13 loss to the Packers. With the team's slim playoff hopes alive, Trubisky and the offense came up short. Trubisky threw an inconsequential interception to end the first half but rebounded to zip a […]

Eli Manning Has Ugly But Productive Day

It wasn't pretty, but New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning helped his team, and fantasy teams, on Sunday in a win over the Dolphins. The veteran completed 20 of 28 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns, but he did also throw three interceptions. Bottom line is that he took advantage of the opportunities that […]

Jameis Winston Goes Wild In Week 15

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston rewarded fantasy owners who stuck with him in Week 15 after his terrible Week 14 performance. Winston threw for 458 yards and four touchdowns in the Bucs win over the Detroit Lions. The fifth-year quarterback also threw an interception, which is expected at this point. Even without his two […]

Deshaun Watson Throws For 243 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 19-of-27 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Titans in Week 15. He also added 32 rushing yards in the game. Watson now has 11 interceptions on the year, a new career-high, but he also has a career-high 33 total touchdowns on the year (26 […]

Carson Wentz Tosses Three Touchdowns in Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 30 of his 43 pass attempts in Week 15, tossing three touchdowns and gaining 266 yards. Wentz's first score came on a 15-yard pass to Miles Sanders. His second was on a two-yard strike to Zach Ertz, and his third was a huge fourth quarter score on a four-yard […]

Jameis Winston Officially Active Against Lions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) is officially active for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. Winston wasn't able to throw a football in practice until Friday, though he was able to finish off last week's 456-yard, four-touchdown performance with the injury. Winston has a great chance to stay hot against Detroit's suspect pass […]

Browns Likely to Stick With Freddie Kitchens

According to a report by NFL's Ian Rapoport, the Cleveland Browns plan to retain Freddie Kitchens as their head coach after the season ends. Kitchens has gone through some growing pains as a first-time head coach, struggling with play calling at times while trying to manage some big egos in the Cleveland locker room. Despite […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 15) - Targets and Avoids

Week 13 was a pretty chalky one with just three underdogs winning outright. The biggest upset was the Broncos absolutely annihilating the Houston Texans who were still celebrating their "Super Bowl" win against the Patriots the week prior. Three weeks remain and I'd be a fool to think there are hundreds who are reading this […]

Daniel Jones Officially Out On Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) will not play against Miami in Week 15. Jones was able to practice in a limited fashion during the week, but the team will take it slow as he works his way back from the high ankle sprain that he suffered during the matchup against the Packers a […]

Matthew Stafford Will Sit Once Again

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) will sit out once again and will not play on Sunday against Tampa Bay. Stafford is progressing, but still doesn't feel well enough to play, with the potential for a return this season unlikely, albeit still possible. Nonetheless, David Blough, who has thrown three touchdowns and three picks this […]

Russell Wilson Tries To Get Back On Track

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a rough game last week against the improved Rams Defense as he was held to zero touchdown passes for the first time in a year. Now he'll face off against another strong defense in Carolina. Though Wilson has usually found a way to have success against the Panthers, they […]

Jacoby Brissett Has An Interesting Matchup In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett bounced back in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he has the chance to keep things rolling in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are in the bottom 10 in the NFL in touchdowns allowed, and they've allowed the 14th-most passing yards as well. Wide […]

Patrick Mahomes is Reliable QB1 for Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown three touchdowns and two interceptions over his last three games. Mahomes is normally an elite fantasy option every week, but has been slowed down recently. He should bounce back nicely against the Denver Broncos in Week 15. Mahomes completed 10 of 11 passing attempts for 76 yards […]
