Kyler Murray Defies Tough Matchup

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has thrown for a combined 313 yards in the last four games, but he's still ranked sixth at the position in fantasy points over the stretch. He has thrown seven touchdowns and two interceptions, but he rushed for two more scores. The matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers isn't a good […]

Patrick Mahomes Has Tough Matchup for Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been underwhelming over the last two games. He's thrown for two touchdowns and one interception over his last two contests. Mahomes had less than 200 passing yards in both of those games and it doesn't get any easier here. He'll have a matchup with the strong Patriots secondary […]

Devlin Hodges Gets Prime Matchup Against Cardinals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges staved off the Cleveland Browns a week ago, winning 20-13 after passing for 212 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. "Duck" is flying into the hearts of Steeler fans, but unfortunately he doesn't deliver much fantasy appeal, even in a matchup against the league-worst Arizona Cardinals Defense. The Cardinals allow […]

Tom Brady Should Deliver Solid Line In Week 14

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will take on a Chiefs Defense that is allowing the 12th most fantasy points to opposing passers this season. The Patriots offense has been in a slump the past few weeks and the wide receivers group has battled injuries. But the Chiefs have allowed multiple touchdowns to three of […]

Dwayne Haskins Should Be Ignored As Usual

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins will go for his third straight victory in Green Bay on Sunday. Whether the Redskins pull off the upset or not, their two-game winning streak is in spite of their quarterback--not because of him. Haskins has just two touchdowns in six appearances this year, and hasn't eclipsed 215 passing yards […]

Ryan Tannehill In The QB1 Conversation In Week 14

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has quietly been producing consistent QB1 numbers since his insertion in the starting lineup six weeks ago. Tannehill has the Titans 5-1 since that time and firmly in the playoff picture, but Week 14 represents a crucial matchup. Tannehill and the Titans will face an exploitable Oakland Raiders Defense this […]

Baker Mayfield "Looks Good" Throwing

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) threw without a wrap on his hand at Friday's practice and "looked good" according to beat reporters covering the session. It was also reported that there is no visible bruise on the back of the quarterback's hand after he dinged it on a defender's facemask during Week 13's loss. […]

Eli Manning Returns In Primetime Matchup

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will likely be under center when the Giants take on the Eagles on Monday night. Manning was not particularly good when he played early in the season and lacks Daniel Jones' mobility. He's also playing against an Eagles team looking to make up for an embarrassing loss to the […]

Daniel Jones No Longer In A Boot

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was seen at practice on Friday no longer wearing a boot on his injured ankle. However, he is still not participating but is on the bike and doing strength work. This provides even further confirmation that Eli Manning will likely be under center for the Giants this week. However, […]

Star Players Who Might Miss the Fantasy Playoffs

As we head into the playoff weeks of fantasy football, you'll hear many experts preach (correctly) the need to stash high-upside handcuffs or backups at quarterback or tight end. You'll inevitably hear about looking ahead three weeks for favorable playoff schedules and thinking less about what the player has done up until now or whether […]

Week 14 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

It's finally here... The fantasy playoffs for most leagues. Hopefully you have a chance to win a fantasy championship in the next few weeks. If you're lucky, you have a first-round bye and won't have to worry about anything this week except for picking out a Christmas tree and setting up all your holiday decorations. […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Zach Pascal, Jamaal Williams, Gardner Minshew

Whether this is the first week of your playoffs, the last week of your regular season, or the time to win a DFS league to pay for your holiday presents, this is the most crucial week of your fantasy football season. While my booms from last week (Robert Woods, Jack Doyle, Dede Westbrook, Kyle Allen) […]

Mitch Trubisky Accounts For Four Touchdowns In Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky finished with 244 yards on 23-for-31 passing while adding four touchdowns and an interception during the win over the Cowboys on Thursday. Trubisky shook off an early interception by tossing three touchdowns on the night, two of which went to Allen Robinson in the second quarter, before running one in […]

David Blough Not A Recommended Week 14 Start

Detroit Lions rookie quarterback David Blough will get the start in Week 14 when the Lions travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. With Matthew Stafford (back) unlikely to return this season and Jeff Driskel (hamstring) placed on the injured reserve, it looks like it will be all Blough from here on out. Those […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Option In Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is coming off a very disappointing performance in Week 13, but that shouldn't hold fantasy owners back from going right back to him in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts. Winston was only able to pass for 268 yards with no scores last week, but he should have no […]

Jacoby Brissett Has A Great Matchup In Week 14

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been less-than-stellar over the last couple of weeks, but he has an outstanding matchup in Week 14. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been one of the worst teams in the NFL at defending the pass, and while the Colts are limited with their passing weapons due to injuries, Brissett […]

Dak Prescott Does Okay in a Week 14 Loss

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott performed decently in fantasy terms in Week 14 despite losing to the Chicago Bears. Prescott attempted 49 passes, completing 27 of them for 334 yards and a touchdown. Prescott's only touchdown came on a 19-yard pass to Amari Cooper near the end of the fourth quarter. It wasn't a great […]

Derek Carr Not A Viable Week 14 Option

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off back-to-back underwhelming performances as the Tennessee Titans come to town for a pivotal matchup this weekend. With both teams in the hunt for a Wild Card spot, the Raiders will need Carr to improve on his recent play with Josh Jacobs questionable for this Sunday. The Titans […]

Drew Brees Too Risky Against 49ers Defense

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face an extremely tough test in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers. Here's where the 49ers Defense ranks in several key categories: 45 sacks, second in the league, 134.2 pass yards allowed per game, first in the league and 29.4 pass attempts allowed, second in the league. […]

Daniel Jones Not Practicing Thursday

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday and is doing leg work in a boot with a trainer on the side. Dealing with a mild high ankle sprain, Jones is a long shot to suit up on Monday night against the Eagles and could also miss Week 15. It […]

Matt Ryan Is A Viable QB1 Option In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a solid bounce-back performance in Week 13, throwing for 312 yards and two touchdowns. This week, Ryan and the Falcons face the Panthers. The Falcons are riddled with injuries on offense, but signs seem to be pointing towards a return for Julio Jones (shoulder) and Austin Hooper (knee) this […]

Sam Darnold In Good Bounce-Back Spot

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a miserable game in Cincinnati last Sunday, but will be in the streaming quarterback mix again in Week 14 with a home date against Miami. Darnold was roughed up by the Bengals taking several big hits and was seen limping during the last drive, but he practiced in […]

Josh Allen Faces Tough Week 14 Matchup Against Ravens

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has scored multiple touchdowns in eight straight games, but this week he has a particularly difficult test against the Ravens, who are allowing just 18.2 points per game on the year. Allen has done well against tough matchups versus the Cowboys and Broncos the past two weeks, so there's reason […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 14

It's already week 14! Time flies when you're having fun and this has been an eventful football season to say the least. We have another solid Sunday upcoming, but we'll kick things off with a Thursday match-up between the Cowboys and Bears. The Cowboys are slight road favorites, but this game is a toss-up and […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 14

It's that time of year again! While many will be caught up in the thrills of the holiday season, those lucky few who have risen to the top of their fantasy leagues will be sweating over lineup decisions in pursuit of a championship (in most league formats). To our fantasy owners who have managed to […]

Matthew Stafford's Back Not A Long-Term Concern

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) said his back is healing "as it should" and that the injury won't be something that's an issue in 2020 or beyond. Stafford will miss his fifth straight game in Week 14 against the Vikings, though, and it seems unlikely he'll return in 2019. The Lions are 0-4 in […]

Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry, Baker Mayfield Limited

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) and Jarvis Landry (hip) and quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand, ribs) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be fine to suit up in Week 14 in an excellent matchup against the one-win Bengals. Landry has become the safer fantasy weapon than OBJ, but […]

Cam Newton To Have Surgery

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) plans to have surgery on his left foot, according to a source. Newton aggravated his Lisfranc foot injury in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He decided not to have surgery after visiting with Dr. Robert Anderson last month. Newton also disappointed in 2018 because of a right […]

Daniel Jones In Walking Boot, Likely To Miss Week 14

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is in a walking boot with a mild high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Eagles. Backup Eli Manning will "very likely" start against the Eagles in Week 14. Jones has been mostly bad in […]
