Aaron Rodgers Posts Pedestrian Line In Victory

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers failed to toss a touchdown for the first time this season during his team’s win over the Cowboys. The last time that the Packers won a game in which Rodgers did not throw for a touchdown was Week 15 of the 2016 campaign. With favored target Davante Adams unavailable […]

Dak Prescott Piles Up Yards in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had some bright spots and a few low spots in Week 5. He ended up completing 27 of his 44 pass attempts, gaining 463 yards. He threw two touchdowns but also three interceptions. Prescott added four runs for another 27 yards on the ground. With the Cowboys trailing for most […]

Luke Falk Struggles Again Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk had an afternoon to forget Sunday in Philadelphia. Falk completed 15 of 26 passes for only 120 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. In fairness to Falk both of his starts were on the road in tough matchups, but he has made it abundantly clear he is not […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 330 Yards, Scores Four Touchdowns

In an absolute shootout of a game, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 32-of-46 passes for 330 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He also ran in a touchdown, giving him four total touchdowns on the day. Unfortunately for Ryan, his team couldn't hold off the Texans and the team fell to 1-4 on the […]

Josh Allen Throws For 219 Yards And Two Touchdowns

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had been questionable for Week 5's game all week while going through the concussion protocol, but he managed to take the field and lead the Bills to victory. Allen completed 23-of-32 passes on the day for 219 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also added 27 rushing yards. It […]

Andy Dalton Throws Two Touchdowns in Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton went 27-for-38 for 262 yards and two touchdowns during the narrow loss to Arizona on Sunday. With the team without John Ross (shoulder), the veteran got some production from wideouts Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate, who both combined for 149 yards and two scores on the day. Despite injuries, the […]

Kyle Allen Leads Team To Another Win

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen went 17-for-30 for 181 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars on Sunday. With the Panthers doing most of the work on the ground, Allen threw his lone score late in the first quarter off of an 18-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey. While the 23-year-old didn't do a lot […]

Tom Brady Tosses Three Touchdowns In Easy Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 28-of-42 passes for 348 yards, three touchdowns and one interception as the Patriots cruised to a 33-7 win over the Redskins. The Patriots found themselves early in a strange spot; trailing in a game. But the Patriots offense quickly corrected that en route to rattling off 33 unanswered […]

Lamar Jackson Throws Three Interceptions

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 161 yards with a touchdown and three picks in Week 5's overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson also added a game-high 70 yards on the ground on 14 attempts. His only touchdown came early in the second quarter to receiver Marquise Brown for 11 yards. The Ravens […]

Gardner Minshew Has First 300 Yard Game

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew was 26-for-44 for 374 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. It was Minshew's first game with 300 or more passing yards. Carolina wasn't a great matchup for the Jaguars, but Minshew was able to find his receivers and make plays. This might not be a […]

Carson Wentz Doesn't Do Much in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz didn't have to do much in Week 5. With the defense absolutely dominating the New York Jets "offense" in this one, Wentz wasn't asked to do a lot. He ended up completing 17 of his 29 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. His score was on an 11-yard pass […]

Colt McCoy Predictably Struggles Against Patriots

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy completed 18 of 27 passes for 119 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to New England. The Redskins are very obviously the worst team in the NFC, and with their season already over at 0-5, there is no justifiable reason for the coaching staff not to roll […]

Chase Daniel's Late Interception Seals Bears Fate

Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel completed 22-of-30 passes for 231 with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bears 24-21 loss to the Raiders in London. The Bears offense was atrocious in the first half as they were held scoreless. Daniel loosened up in the second half but two terrible throws turned into costly mistakes. […]

Daniel Jones Struggles In Loss

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Once affectionately known as "Danny Dimes," the rookie signal-caller was sloppy and scattered on Sunday, completing 21 of 38 passes for 182 yards, one TD and one INT. He also had happy feet in the pocket and missed Sterling Shepard multiple times […]

Kirk Cousins Posts Useful Week 5 Line In Victory

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' performance through Week 4 had many fantasy managers writing him off, but he came through in a pretty big way in Week 5 against the New York Giants. Cousins was 22-of-27 (81%) passing for 306 yards and two touchdowns to Adam Thielen in a resounding 28-10 road win. Cousins took […]

Jameis Winston Salvages Day With Late Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had fantasy owners excited after two straight monster weeks, but turned in an average performance in the Bucs loss to the Saints Sunday. Winston was unable to get into any kind of groove, completing just 15 passes on 27 attempts for 204 yards and two touchdowns. His fantasy day […]

Mason Rudolph Exits Game After Scary Hit

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph was forced from Sunday's game against the Ravens after taking a scary hit to the head. After getting hit, Rudolph laid motionless on the field before eventually being able to walk off under his own power. Prior to the injury, he was 13 of 20 for 131 yards and a […]

Derek Carr Throws For 229 Scoreless Yards

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr led his team to a 24-21 victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday, although his fantasy production left more to be desired. He completed 25 of 32 passes for 229 scoreless yards with no interceptions and one lost fumble. Carr made an errant pitch to Josh Jacobs in the backfield for […]

Teddy Bridgewater Lights Up the Scoreboard in Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater did his best Drew Brees impersonation in Week 5, throwing for 314 yards and four touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though he did throw an interception, Bridgewater averaged an excellent 9.2 yards per attempt on 34 throws. He abandoned the check-downs and short passes for intermediate and deep […]

Deshaun Watson Has Monster Game Against Falcons

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was on fire against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, throwing for 426 yards and five touchdowns while going 28-for-33. Watson also added 47 rushing yards on four carries. After a season that's seen Watson be pretty inconsistent, Sunday's game might have been a turning point for this Texans offense. Watson […]

Drew Brees Tweets Video of Himself Throwing Footballs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees posted a video of himself tossing a football on Saturday evening. Brees remains inactive for the Saints Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It should also be noted that the ball Brees was throwing in the video seemed to be of the Nerf variety, so he still […]

Josh Allen is Active Sunday

Josh Allen will give it a full-go after clearing the concussion protocol on Saturday. It won't be easy sledding in Tennessee, but we know Josh Allen isn't one that needs things easy. The Titans are average against the pass and Allen is a middling fantasy starter this week.

Week 5 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

A quarter of the season is in the books. So what have we learned? The Dolphins are by far the worst team in the NFL and could lose all 16 games, but the Redskins aren't far behind and are turning to Colt McCoy at quarterback. The undefeated Chiefs, as expected, have the best offense in […]

Browns Ready to Break Out?

The Cleveland Browns are currently leading the AFC North division, but that doesn't mean everything is going well for the team, as fantasy owners will be able to tell you. The offseason was full of hype for the Browns, especially after the team traded for Odell Beckham Jr. Certainly, the team is performing a lot […]
