Jimmy Garoppolo Testing Offense

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said that he likes to take chances in the preseason and training camp practices to test the offense and his own limits. "The more you try those things, you see who's going to make the play for you in a crucial situation. If you put it in a good […]

Colts Looking At Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden

The Indianapolis Colts have visited and worked out with free-agent quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Brandon Weeden this week, in addition to Brock Osweiler, according to a source.

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC West

The average NFL career is 3.3 years. This isn't every guy on the training camp type misleading analysis, this is for the guys who make the opening day roster, though as Terry Crews reminded the cast of "Ask Me Another" on a recent episode, sometimes it takes a guy (like Crews) seven real years to […]

Draft Strategy: Who You Want vs. Who You Can Live With

I'm a firm believer that the best part of fantasy football is the preparation leading up to draft day. Sure, the season is fun too if your team is good, but we all know what the other end of that spectrum looks like. I've always enjoyed the anticipation--reading articles and listening to podcasts, conducting mock […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 8/29/19

The college football gods teased us with a two-game slate last weekend, but things really open up tonight with a six-game slate full of unknowns. FanDuel and DraftKings have a different set of games, and their pricing is drastically different. It creates two entirely different slates, depending on what site you play on. Without one […]

Jimmy Garoppolo On Track For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) remains on track to play in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. "We really, knock on wood, haven't had any setbacks and been on schedule the whole time. ... Things are really coming together," Garoppolo said. The young QB tore his ACL last year and has looked very rusty […]

Cowboys Still Talking With Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team isn't closing contract negotiations with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper, even when the season begins. "Oh, yeah, we’re open for business," Jones said. "We don’t put any deadlines on anything." Prescott and Cooper have gone under the radar with running back Ezekiel […]

Brock Osweiler Visits With Colts

Free-agent quarterback Brock Osweiler visited with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, according to a source. Phillip Walker is the current backup to Jacoby Brissett now that Andrew Luck has retired. Osweiler would represent a slight upgrade with more experience. The former Denver Bronco played in seven games with the Dolphins in 2018, completing 63.5 percent […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Uncertain For Finale

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (illness) is dealing with an illness and may not play in the team's final preseason game. Head coach Brian Flores said the team has a good evaluation of Fitzpatrick, and the final preseason game wouldn't affect that much. Fitzpatrick and quarterback Josh Rosen have been neck and neck for the […]

Derek Carr Encouraged To Throw Deep

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been encouraged to throw downfield more by head coach Jon Gruden. "The better your receivers are, the more aggressive you are," Gruden said via The Athletic. "And the better your line is, the more vertical shots you can call. We think we are better on the line. We think […]

Justin Carter's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football

It's bold prediction SZN and I am ready! This is the space for going out on a limb and making predictions that you're only maybe 10 percent sure will happen, but 100 percent sure that you want to happen. This is where, last year, I confidently proclaimed Patrick Mahomes a top-five fantasy quarterback before, umm, […]

How to Avoid the "My Guys" Trap

Have you ever sat alone in a dark room and addressed your perception versus reality problem? The problem I’m referring to, naturally, is your love for certain fantasy players and lack of recognition for others. Have you mock drafted and paid attention to the guys with higher ranks that you just gloss over until your […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

You can convince me about drafting a top-tier running back inside the first four or five picks; we're talking about true game-changers there. You can convince me about drafting a top-tier wide receiver from picks five to 15; there are just a few elite-wideouts available, after all. But will you never convince me of getting […]

Lamar Jackson To Throw 30 Passes A Game

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson led all quarterbacks in rushing attempts in 2018 and it wasn't even close. Jackson rushed 147 times in his debut season; the runner up was Deshaun Watson who had 97 rushing attempts. "Probably throwing, probably 30 passes a game," Jackson told Mad Dog Sports Radio on Monday. "Running, I probably […]

Josh Allen Likely To Sit Out Final Preseason Game

The Buffalo Bills are expected to start rookie quarterback Tyree Jackson for Thursday night's preseason finale when they host the Minnesota Vikings. This means starter Josh Allen's next game will be in Week 1 in New York to face the Jets. Allen has looked admirable through the first three preseason games, throwing for 217 yards, […]

Sam Darnold Out For Preseason Finale

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold won't play in the team's final preseason game against the Eagles. This was expected as it is common for teams to sit their starters in the fourth preseason game but head coach Adam Gase said some expected starters would play. Darnold finishes the preseason 17-for-25 for 211 yards and […]

Lions Sign Luis Perez

Free-agent quarterback Luis Perez has signed with the Detroit Lions. Perez has played in the AAF and had a one-month stint with the Eagles earlier this year. Perez will fall into the fourth spot on the Lions quarterback depth chart with Stafford, Josh Johnson and Tom Savage ahead of him. With Savage just back from injury […]

David Fales Released By Lions

Free-agent quarterback David Fales has been released by the Detroit Lions. Fales has had a fairly lackluster preseason after quarterback Tom Savage went down with a concussion in Week 1 of the preseason. Fales had an opportunity to prove himself but was just unable to earn a roster spot. Savage has returned to practice, and […]

Panthers Convinced Cam Newton Will Play In Week 1

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that "there's no doubt in my mind" that quarterback Cam Newton (foot) will be ready for Week 1 against the Rams. Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third preseason game, but he should be ready to suit up for the regular season opener. Coming off a second […]

Ben Roethlisberger To Sit Out Thursday Night's Preseason Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not play in the team's final preseason game on Thursday against the Carolina Panthers. The signal caller started Sunday night's dress rehearsal against the Titans and finished 8 for 13 with 63 yards and a touchdown to JuJu Smith-Schuster. At 37 years old, Roethlisberger has been through enough game […]

Remembering Andrew Luck: A Fantasy Football Eulogy

We are gathered here today, thankfully, not to say goodbye to a man, but only his fantasy football persona. We hope Andrew Luck lives a long and joyful life in his post-NFL playing career and wish him the best. At the same time, we as a community mourn the loss of his statistical contributions, especially […]

Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football

In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]

Nate Sudfeld Could Draw Interest from Indianapolis

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld could draw interest from the suddenly quarterback-needy Indianapolis Colts. The Colts tried to get Sudfeld from the Eagles practice squad in 2017 so there is known interest in the former sixth-round pick. Sudfeld played his college ball in Indiana and has a relationship with Colts coach Frank Reich. Sudfeld was […]

David Andrews' Season In Jeopardy

New England Patriots center David Andrews (lungs) has been hospitalized with a blood clot in his lung, and his 2019 season is now in jeopardy. Andrews is an underrated part of New England's offensive line, so his absence is definitely a downgrade to the Pats backfield and for veteran quarterback Tom Brady.

Weston Richburg Removed From PUP List

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday afternoon. For the first time since his knee surgery in January, Richburg practiced with the team. His return strengthens the 49ers' offensive line. Fantasy-wise, upgrade the entire 49ers offense, with each respective position player benefiting from potential […]

Zack Martin, Tyron Smith Still Sidelined With Back Injuries

Per head coach Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys offensive linemen Zack Martin and Tyron Smith remain unable to practice due to back injuries. Keep a close eye on both of their Week 1 availability; if either is inactive for the Cowboys opening contest against the Giants, lower the expected fantasy floor for whoever starts at running […]

Patrick Mahomes Hasn't Missed A Beat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play well in the preseason. Mahomes has completed 14-of-19 passing attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games. He was an elite fantasy option last year, so it seemed unlikely that he could be that good again. However, Mahomes might actually be super human […]
