Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles faces a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team in Week 13 that's allowing the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, setting Foles up for what should be a solid fantasy outing.

Sam Darnold Ready To Feast In Cincinnati

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has been lights out for fantasy owners over the past three weeks and has another favorable matchup this week when the Jets visit the Bengals.

Philip Rivers Faces Another Stout Defense

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will be going up against another stout defense on Sunday when he faces the Broncos for the second time this season. Rivers struggled badly in their first meeting, throwing two interceptions and zero touchdowns while averaging just 4.4 yards per completion. This time around figures to be another daunting […]

Taysom Hill Steals The Show Against Atlanta

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown and carried the ball two times for 33 yards and a touchdown. Hill also blocked a punt after the Falcons' opening drive, which ultimately led to his receiving score. The 29-year-old has a fluctuating role, which prevents him […]

Falcons Won't Make Coaching Change Before Week 14

The Atlanta Falcons won't make a coaching change before their Week 14 game, according to a source. The Falcons lost again on Thanksgiving night to the Saints and are now a disappointing 3-9 on the season and well out of playoff contention. Head coach Dan Quinn has been on the hot seat for much of […]

Drew Lock Expected To Start Sunday

All signs are pointing towards Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) coming off Injured Reserve to start in Week 13 against the Chargers after he took first-team repetitions in practice all week, according to a source. He'd be replacing Brandon Allen, who wasn't all that effective while standing in for the injured Joe Flacco. […]

Cowboys Sticking With Jason Garrett

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he is sticking with head coach Jason Garrett despite the team losing four of their last five games. "This is not the time for me [to make a coaching change]," Jones said. "I'm looking ahead at another ballgame. I'm looking ahead at winning four or five straight and helping […]

Falcons Won't Shut Down Julio Jones, Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said he's not considering shutting down wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) or quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) for the final four games of the season. Jones sat out Thursday night against the Saints. Ryan's ankle is recovered, but he's taken 15 sacks in the last two games. They'll both have […]

Daniel Jones Only An Option in Two-QB Leagues

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is likely off the streamer radar with teams no longer taking bye weeks. The rookie quarterback has had an up and down season, flashing playmaking ability while also making head-scratching decisions that lead to turnovers. This Sunday he gets the 9th ranked fantasy defense against quarterbacks in the Packers. […]

Drew Brees Underwhelms Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw for 184 yards and a touchdown in a Thanksgiving victory over the Atlanta Falcons. It was the worst game of the year for the 40-year-old, as he posted season-lows in yards, yards per attempt, touchdowns, and completion percentage. The Saints didn't need a big game from Brees to […]

Derek Carr A Risky QB2 Versus Chiefs

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off his worst game of the season where he was benched for the fourth quarter after passing for just 127 scoreless yards against the Jets. On paper, his Chiefs opponent in Week 13 measures up similarly and held Carr to his second-worst performance of the season back in […]

Matt Ryan Has Three Turnovers On Thanksgiving

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a rough day on Thanksgiving against the Saints. He threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and was sacked nine times. His fantasy day wasn't horrible as he threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns, but the turnovers should knock him out of the QB1 tier for this week. Ryan […]

Baker Mayfield a QB2 in Week 13

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield travels to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 13. The second-year quarterback will have his work cut out for him in the second meeting in just over two weeks between these two teams.

Mitch Trubisky Carves Up Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 29 of 38 passes for 338 yards, three touchdowns and one interception as the Bears edged the Lions 24-20 on Thanksgiving. It was, by far, Trubisky's best fantasy effort of the season and hit his receivers up for some huge gains. Trubisky delivered a strike to Allen Robinson in […]

Drew Lock Seeing First Reps At Practice

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) is seeing the first repetitions at practice again on Thursday over Brandon Allen. Lock remains on Injured Reserve, but the Broncos could activate him before this Sunday's game in order for him to make his NFL debut against the Chargers. All signs so far are pointing to Lock […]

Putting Matt Ryan on Ice

Not long ago Matt Ryan was posting top-tier numbers. By "not long ago" I mean no further than six weeks ago, which is to say, half of the games already played this season. Back then we were discussing Ryan as a great fantasy quarterback, one of the best in fantasy football in fact. Then, bad […]

Therefore, who you can rely on becomes more and more important, with the games meaning much more with each passing week. However, many fantasy owners completely overlook […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Matt Ryan, Deebo Samuel, D.J. Moore

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

David Blough Expected To Start Thursday Over Jeff Driskel

The Detroit Lions are expected to start rookie David Blough on Thursday against the Bears, according to sources. Jeff Driskel (hamstring) is too sore to start, but he's expected to serve as the backup. Driskel is nothing special, but he at least offered some rushing ability with his legs as a low-end QB2. Both Kenny […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Bye weeks are finally over and by now you likely know if you are a contender, a pretender or a bubble team in your fantasy leagues.

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

Dwayne Haskins Not Worth The Risk In Week 13

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has done nothing to earn the trust of fantasy owners, and a matchup with Carolina on Sunday doesn't lend itself to any uptick in optimism. Haskins has committed five more turnovers than he's thrown touchdown passes, and has been held completely scoreless in two of his three starts. The Panthers […]

Drew Brees A Strong Start Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will take on the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup. The 40-year-old put up a dud in his first game against Atlanta back in Week 10, failing to throw any touchdown passes. After a brief midseason turnaround, the Falcons Defense allowed Jameis Winston to throw for over […]

Jeff Driskel, T.J. Hockenson Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) and rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) are both questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bears. Driskel was limited in practice all week, while Hockenson got in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring any late setbacks, we'd expect both players to suit up on Thanksgiving. In a tough matchup […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play On Turkey Day

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Bears on Thursday. It will be his fourth straight missed game, but Stafford does want to return to play in 2019 when he's cleared by doctors. With the fantasy playoffs starting next week in […]

Drew Lock, Brandon Allen To Split Reps This Week

Denver Broncos president John Elway said that quarterbacks Drew Lock (thumb) and Brandon Allen will split the repetitions in practice this week. Lock remains on Injured Reserve, but he can be activated at any time. The Broncos will decide a starter for Week 13 against the Chargers by Friday, and it could very well be […]
