Eli Manning Will Start As Long As Team Is In Playoff Race

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is expected to remain the team's starter this year "as long as we're in the playoff race," according to team officials. Head coach Pat Shurmur still believes in Manning, so it looks like the Giants will give him a long leash despite the fact that rookie Daniel Jones exceeded […]

Carson Wentz Becoming More Comfortable In Pocket

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz hasn't been using his legs as much this summer, which shows a more patient approach from a pocket perspective. Wentz previously ranked 26th out of 33 quarterbacks in average time spent in the pocket per pass (2.77 seconds), according to ESPN Stats and Information. He's been contacted 243 times since […]

Russell Wilson Poised For Big Week

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is ready to rock against a Bengals Defense that is coming off a terrible season.

Bold predictions don't win you leagues, but they're fun to have and flex later on if you're right. It's the easiest victory lap available.

Cordy Glenn Won't Play Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday against the Seahawks. Andre Smith will start at left tackle and protect quarterback Andy Dalton's blind side. It's a downgrade for an already shaky offensive line against a Seattle defense that recently upgraded their pass rush by trading for linebacker Jadeveon Clowney. […]

Nick Foles' Protection May Be Shoddy In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) didn't practice on Friday, and his backup, Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring) also hasn't been practicing.

Mitch Trubisky Lays A Dud In Opener

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 26 of 45 passes for 228 yards and one interception in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers. The third-year quarterback and the Bears offense never got anything going, and Trubisky added only 11 rushing yards in the game. The Bears offense looked lost at times, failing to cash […]

Marcus Mariota Not In Play In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota faces a stiff task to kick off the 2019 season. Mariota and the Titans will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns, who enter the season with exponentially more hype than they've had in recent memory. While the majority of the focus has been on Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr., […]

Dak Prescott's Extension A Priority For Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have made it a priority to reach a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott now that they have locked up offensive lineman La'el Collins and running back Ezekiel Elliott this week.

Patrick Mahomes An Excellent Option Versus Jags

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the best fantasy quarterback last season, but can he do it again? He'll have an interesting matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Matt Ryan Start-Worthy In Tough Week 1 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will have a tough test to start the year as he travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, who allowed the third-fewest passing yards in the NFL last year. Things could also get more difficult for Ryan if he's without star wide receiver Julio Jones, whose status is very […]

Stack 'Em - Players With Favorable Fantasy Schedules

Rooting for a team is great. It is what fuels fandom, and sports in general. And it is why some times we opt to draft one of our favorite team's players instead of another guy. Look at your team at the end of your draft and it wouldn't be weird to find some homer-picks in […]

Cam Newton's Mobility Is Fine

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) mobility has been good in practice and he feels like the signal-caller will be able to do the things he normally does in Week 1 on Sunday against the Rams.
