We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers

Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes. Devonta Freeman was ejected, and players like Will Fuller, Adam Thielen and Kerryon Johnson were both forced from their games very early on which hurt a lot of fantasy owners. The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have to confess that I love bye weeks. Actually, what I like the most is not the fact of teams not playing for a weekend, but rather the moment when they are ready to come back. A lot of players are dropped […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 31 of 45 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots 33-0 romp over the Jets in Week 7.

Sam Darnold Has Complete Meltdown Vs Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a night to forget vs New England in Week 7 completing only 11 of 32 passes for 86 yards. Darnold, who was out with mono during the Jets' first meeting with the NFL's number one defense, threw a career-high four interceptions and also lost a fumble in a […]

Baker Mayfield Able to Practice Monday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (hip) was able to practice on Monday. Mayfield suffered a bruised hip during his team's Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks but did not miss any offensive snaps.

Lamar Jackson Gains 116 Yards Rushing

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill impressed in his first start of the 2019 season, completing 23 of 29 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns in their 23-20 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Teddy Bridgewater Throws Two Touchdowns Against Bears

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 36-25 victory over the Chicago Bears.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 34 of 54 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears 36-25 loss to the Saints in Week 7.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 12 of 21 passes for 151 yards, no scores and an interception in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. He also ran four times for 20 yards. The Niners leaned on their defense and wet conditions to overmatch the Redskins in the 9-0 shutout. The nondescript performance from […]

Andy Dalton Brutalized By Jags On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton wasn't able to get anything going against Jacksonville in Week 7. While the veteran was able to accumulate 276 yards and two total touchdowns on the day, the Jaguars Defense was relentless by recording interceptions on three-straight drives, with one of those picks being returned for a score. Dalton is […]

Jared Goff Rights The Ship

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff bounced back with 268 passing yards and two touchdowns in a blowout of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7.

Case Keenum Attempts Just 12 Passes In Rainy Loss

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 12 passes for 77 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

Kyler Murray Quiet in Week 7

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray didn't do much in the victory over the New York Giants in Week 7. He was 14-for-21 for 104 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions, and he rushed 10 times for 28 yards. It was a disappointing day after the momentum he built the last couple of games and the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw for 255 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He was 15-for-32 throwing the ball and also added 48 rushing yards on nine carries.

Costly Turnovers Overshadow Derek Carr's Productive Effort

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 22 of 28 passes and threw for a season-high 293 yards in a losing effort versus the Packers in Week 7.
