Dolphins Name Ryan Fitzpatrick The Week 1 Starter

The Miami Dolphins have officially named quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick the Week 1 starter against the Ravens. Fitzpatrick underwhelmed in limited preseason action, but the rebuilding 'Phins are still electing to go with him under the younger Josh Rosen. Even in two-QB leagues, Fitzpatrick isn't a recommended option, and he'll have his hands full against a […]

Brett Rypien Makes Final Push For A Roster Spot

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien had his last chance to make a push for a roster spot on Thursday evening, as the rookie out of Boise State is vying for the backup job to starter Joe Flacco.

Kevin Hogan Has Weak Performance Against Arizona

Denver Broncos quarterback Kevin Hogan struggled in the team's final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday evening. Hogan completed 52% of his passes, totaling 138 yards and one touchdown, to accompany a disappointing two interceptions. This was most definitely not the performance the Hogan was looking for as roster cuts loom, but regardless […]

Easton Stick Plays Terribly Against SF

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick is still officially in the running to make the team, but after Thursday's performance, it's hard to imagine how. Stick took over from Cardale Jones in the second half, and the entire offense fell apart. While Jones led four straight scoring drives to start the first half, Stick led […]

Cardale Jones Performs Well In Final Preseason Game

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones did everything he could to finish his sales pitch to the Chargers on Thursday night. Jones is clearly vying for the third spot on the roster as Philip Rivers and Tyrod Taylor appear to be locked in at No.1 and No. 2, and he looked like a solid choice […]

Russell Okung Out For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung (heart) will not be ready for Week 1 due to a pulmonary embolism, according to general manager Tom Telesco. Okung is a big loss for quarterback Philip Rivers' blind side, and tackle Trent Scott has been filling in for him. The 37-year-old has his back against the wall […]

Jared Goff Extension Talks Ongoing

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff remains in contract talks on a possible extension, and head coach Sean McVay said he's not worried about the talks becoming a distraction. Goff threw for 4,688 yards with 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2018. He also added two scores on the ground. The offense was decimated by […]

Joe Webb Expected To End Up On IR

Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb (foot) will likely be placed on the Injured Reserve, ending his season before it began. Webb was expected to be the team's third quarterback and also contribute on special teams, but now it looks like Houston will stick with Deshaun Watson and A.J. McCarron at the position. This news opens […]

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen eagerly discussed the team's upcoming season in a recent Mad Dog Sports Radio interview.

Dwayne Haskins Ends Preseason With A Touchdown

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins threw the team's only touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale, a seven-yard pass to Steven Sims Jr. in the first quarter. Haskins finished his evening with 10 completions on 17 attempts for 104 yards. Haskins rebounded nicely after a preseason opener in which he was picked off twice, throwing two touchdowns […]

Tom Savage Quiet In Week 4 Of Preseason

Detroit Lions quarterback Tom Savage played the entire first half of the Lions preseason finale against the Browns on Thursday night but was only able to complete five of nine passes for 33 yards. Prior to Savage's concussion in Week 1 of the preseason, he was the expected backup to Stafford, but with Josh Johnson […]

Josh Johnson Has Solid Preseason Finale

Detroit Lions quarterback Josh Johnson went 9-for-15 for 157 yards and a touchdown on Thursday night during the Lions preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns. Johnson has been fighting for a roster spot and his solid performance will make the Lions quarterback depth chart hard to finalize. Johnson is not a fantasy option moving into […]

Joe Webb Suffers Foot Injury

Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb left Thursday's preseason loss to the Rams with a foot injury that some have called "serious," placing huge doubts on his ability to be Houston's third quarterback. With A.J. McCarron having just recovered from a thumb injury, it's possible we see the Texans roster just two quarterbacks depending on the […]

Gardner Minshew Finishes Preseason Without Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew did enough this preseason to claim the team's backup job, but after going 11-for-26 for just 79 yards in the preseason finale against the Falcons, Minshew officially ends the preseason without a touchdown pass. Sure, it was the preseason, but it's still not an encouraging sign for a team to […]

Taryn Christion Looks Good on Thursday

Dallas Cowboys undrafted rookie quarterback Taryn Christion looked good in Thursday's final preseason game. He completed 11 of his 17 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown. He also led the Cowboys in rushing with five carries for 22 yards. The former South Dakota State Jackrabbit won't make it onto the final roster, but he […]

Lamar Jackson Absent, Trace McSorley Starts

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not play in Thursday's Week 4 preseason matchup against the Washington Redskins. Instead, rookie Trace McSorley got the start. McSorley completed 15 of 27 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown to make his last case for Baltimore to roster its third quarterback behind Robert Griffin III. Just before […]

Clayton Thorson Closes Out the Preseason for the Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Clayton Thorson led the Eagles to a shutout on Thursday, completing 12 of his 26 passes for 84 scoreless yards. He threw an interception and ran the ball twice for two yards. Thorson is clearly far behind veteran backup Josh McCown but the fifth-round rookie should stick on the Philly roster, either […]

Jared Goff Rests In Preseason Finale

As has been the case throughout the preseason, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play during the team’s Week 4 preseason victory against the Houston Texans. The fourth-year standout has continued to improve and grow as a quarterback under head coach Sean McVay, finishing the 2018 season with over 4,500 yards and a […]

Blake Bortles Rested For Preseason Finale

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Blake Bortles did not play during the team’s Week 4 preseason victory against the Houston Texans, assuring that he has solidified his role as teammate Jared Goff’s backup.

Joshua Dobbs Starts Final Preseason Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs started Thursday's preseason game and went 3-for-5 with 21 yards, while taking one rush for 11 yards along with fumbling on a sack early in the first quarter.

Mason Rudolph Throws For 125 Yards On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph went seven of 11 for 125 yards and a touchdown in the team's final preseason game on Thursday against the Panthers.

Daniel Jones Solid In First Start For Giants

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones’ final game of the preseason was short but sweet. He played one drive and completed four of his four pass attempts for 37 yards and no touchdowns. After the Giants were criticized for using the sixth overall pick on him in this year's draft, the rookie from Duke has had […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Expected To Start Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to be the starter for the team's Week 1 contest against the Ravens. While the Dolphins offense is one of the worst in the NFL, if Fitzpatrick is at the helm, expect the team to air the ball out. Wide receivers Kenny Stills, Albert Wilson and Devante Parker could […]

Cardinals Trade Korey Cunningham

The Arizona Cardinals traded offensive tackle Korey Cunningham to the New England Patriots for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick. Cunningham was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and started in six games. Following roster cuts this weekend, look for the Cardinals to find another guy off of the waiver wire. For now, expect seventh-round rookies Joshua […]

Kyler Murray Sitting; Brett Hundley Starting

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will not play in his team's preseason finale on Thursday night.

Trent Williams Has No Plans To Report

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams told former teammate DeAngelo Hall that he plans to continue his holdout into Week 1. Despite the Redskins belief that Williams will play for them in 2019, the disgruntled tackle looks to be content missing regular season action, at least to begin the year. An already questionable offensive line […]
