Case Keenum The Starter When Healthy

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) will be the starter in Week 9 against the Bills if he's healthy. If he can't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Thursday night, rookie Dwayne Haskins would get the start. The good news is that […]

Kirk Cousins Throws For 285 Yards Against Washington

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 23 of 26 passes for 285 yards in Week 8's 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins. He didn't throw a touchdown or an interception but was very accurate again in the victory. The Vikings totaled 38 rushing attempts as they continue to stress Dalvin Cook and the rushing attack, […]

Case Keenum Knocked Out Thursday With Concussion

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) suffered a concussion on Thursday night against the Vikings and has been ruled out for the second half. The journeyman quarterback was 12-for-16 for 130 yards without a touchdown or interception, but he did lose a fumble before leaving. He wasn't terrible, but he predictably wasn't great either against […]

Jameis Winston Hopes To Get Back On Track After Bye

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had the week off to figure out exactly what went wrong in a Week 6 performance that saw him turn the ball over an ungodly six times, but a bounce-back performance may not be in the cards this week with a road matchup against the Titans on deck. The […]

Joe Flacco Has No Value Against Colts

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco holds little fantasy value at the moment, and losing one of his better wide receivers this week in Emmanuel Sanders did not help Flacco's stock. The veteran quarterback has struggled all season long and signs do not point to him producing fantasy points anytime soon. Even with a matchup against […]

Aaron Rodgers To Continue His Impressive Form

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers impressed last week against the Oakland Raiders and will look to continue that this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have given up an average of 18.0 points to the position this season, but that number could have been far higher if the Houston Texans hadn't dropped […]

Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Kamara didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a notable improvement, although he's still very questionable to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The Saints are likely factoring in their Week 9 bye […]

Sam Darnold Gets In Full Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Darnold injured his toe (and his feelings) in the pathetic loss to the Patriots on Monday night in which he admitted to "seeing ghosts" on the sidelines. He will play against the Jaguars this weekend […]

Tom Brady Has Favorable Week 8 Matchup

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a positive matchup against a Browns Defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing passers in Week 8. Brady has only four touchdown passes (plus two rushing scores) over his last four games but will face a Browns secondary that has allowed multiple touchdowns […]

Patrick Mahomes Works With Second Team Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) worked with the second-team offense on Thursday and looked to be moving around better. Mahomes has been pretty limited the last two days of practice. While he's making great progress from a dislocated kneecap a week ago, the odds are still slim that he plays on Sunday night […]

Matt Ryan Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is not expected to practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he continues to nurse his sprained ankle. The Falcons said earlier this week that they planned on Ryan starting in Week 8 against the Seahawks, but all signs right now point to Matt Schaub starting unless […]

Mitch Trubisky Not A Smart Play In Week 8

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will be under the microscope when the team takes the field in Week 8 against the Chargers. The season, thus far, has been a total disaster for Trubisky and the Bears offense. The third-year quarterback has regressed this season and his numbers have been propped up by one strong first […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Low-End Streaming Option Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fantasy star by any means but has posted at least 16 fantasy points in three starts this year. He'll face a Cardinals Defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the pass. The […]

A.J. Green, Cordy Glenn Won't Play In London

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) and left tackle Cordy Glenn (shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Rams in London. The Bengals are on bye next week, so the soonest Green and Glenn can play in 2019 will be in Week 10. Although the Bengals say they don't want to […]

Cam Newton Hasn't Practiced This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) could travel with the team to San Francisco this week, but Newton has yet to practice this week and won't be active. The Panthers announced that Kyle Allen would make another start against the 49ers earlier this week, and Newton must return to practice soon if he has any […]

Patrick Mahomes Practicing Again Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is practicing again on Thursday, but he's not expected to do a whole lot for the second straight day. Mahomes is recovering from his dislocated kneecap at a good rate, but he's still unlikely to play in Week 8 on Sunday night against the Packers. But the athletic […]

Josh Allen Is A Low-End QB1 in Week 8

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen got the job done with a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 7. He threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns while adding 32 rushing yards. He also didn't turn the ball over once. This week, the Bills face the Eagles, who have been obliterated by quarterbacks and receivers […]

Falcons' Future: Assessing Redraft and Dynasty Value in Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons’ downward spiral from Super Bowl LI in 2017 has continued and reached new lows this year. Last year’s 7-9 record seemed like a massive disappointment at the time, but with the team now sitting at 1-6 through seven games, the franchise is clearly in a position where it needs to start reassessing […]

Matt Schaub Could Be A QB2 Starter

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub could make his first start of the season in Week 8 if starter Matt Ryan (ankle) is unable to go. Ryan, who has started 163 consecutive games, seems about 50/50 at this point. If Schaub ends up getting the nod, he could be a starter in two-quarterback leagues, as he'd […]

Matt Ryan Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) sat out Wednesday's practice while dealing with the high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7. He is currently questionable for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Owners of Ryan need to keep an eye out for updates the next few days. Ryan has started a remarkable 163 consecutive games […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

The madden curse strikes again. Reigning MVP and superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who happens to be the cover athlete for the latest edition of the popular Madden football video game, suffered a dislocated knee on a quarterback sneak in the Kansas City Chiefs 30-6 victory over the Denver Broncos last Thursday night. Despite the injury, […]

Kirk Cousins Is A QB1 Option In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been silencing his critics the past three weeks, throwing for 977 yards and an impressive 10/1 TD/INT ratio. He's also coming off back-to-back outings with four touchdowns in wins over the Lions and Eagles. Cousins will be missing Adam Thielen (hamstring) this week, but it shouldn't matter much in […]

Eric Fisher, Chris Jones Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (hernia) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) both were limited in practice on Wednesday. Fisher has been out the last five game, while Jones has missed two straight. Fisher's return would be a positive development, as he might be blocking the blind side of backup Matt Moore if […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, David Montgomery

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. […]

Warning Signs: Zach Ertz, David Johnson, Mitch Trubisky

Week 7 brought some new warnings our way. The Bears stink, or maybe just Mitch Trubisky. Todd Gurley still can’t get it going despite a dominant team performance. Finally, as has become a regular routine at this point, Will Fuller has another hamstring injury. So, what do we really need to pay attention to going […]
