Eli Manning Continues To Impress

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has had a sudden resurgence coming off of a less-than-impressive 2018 season. The two-time Superbowl champion took to the practice field on Monday looking sharp and throwing accurate passes downfield, including a 30-yard bomb to running back Saquon Barkley. With targets such as Barkley, tight end Evan Engram and wide […]

Cody Kessler Returns to Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Cody Kessler (concussion) has resumed practicing. He was the main backup to starter Carson Wentz after Nate Sudfeld (wrist) got hurt, but the Eagles signed Josh McCown after watching their two backups go down. McCown will serve as the primary backup once the season starts, and Kessler's likely only around until Sudfeld […]

Aaron Rodgers Returns To Practice Monday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (back) returned to practice on Monday after being scratched as a precaution before the preseason game last Thursday against the Ravens due to back tightness. However, it's still uncertain if Rodgers will play in the preseason game Thursday against the Raiders in Canada. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Rodgers […]

Cam Newton To Make Preseason Debut Thursday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) will make his preseason debut on Thursday against the Patriots, according to head coach Ron Rivera. It's unclear how much Newton will play in the contest. The 30-year-old is coming off a second straight offseason with right shoulder surgery, and reports out of training camp suggest he has a […]

Drew Lock, Noah Fant Injured Monday Night

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (hand) and rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) were both injured in Monday's preseason game against the 49ers and are questionable to return. Lock went 7-for-12 for 40 yards before departing, while Fant caught two passes for seven yards on three targets. Both players will be instrumental to Denver's […]

Marcus Mariota Not A Lock To Start In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has all along been expected to start in Week 1, but a report from ESPN football insider Dianna Russini states that Mariota is "not a lock" to start in Week 1 against the Browns. “There’s a tone in Tennessee right now that this coaching staff just wants a quarterback to […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Being Treated Like The Starter

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick should start the third preseason game, and the head coach has continually praised Fitzpatrick's leadership, intelligence, decision-making and work in meetings. Josh Rosen has been chided for his body language, holding the ball too long and getting the team in and out of the […]

Colt McCoy Out Of QB Competition

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) could miss multiple weeks of the regular season after having three follow-up surgeries this offseason on his broken leg. That leaves Case Keenum and rookie Dwayne Haskins to split the repetitions. Keenum is probably the favorite, but he's been erratic in camp. Haskins […]

Russell Wilson Looks Good In First Appearance

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson took the field for the first time this season on Sunday, and he looked good against the Vikings. Wilson went 6-for-9 for 82 yards, and he just missed a big third down completion that would have padded those stats even more. An especially nice thing was the fact that Wilson […]

Case Keenum Must Solidify Starting Role In Preseason Week 3

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is probably going to be named the Week 1 starter, but he hasn't closed the door on rookie Dwayne Haskins yet. Keenum has completed just seven of 16 pass attempts this preseason, good for a 43.8% completion rate. Keenum's advantage over Haskins is that he brings experience to a team […]

Easton Stick Struggles Against Saints

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick was the clean-up man for the team again in Week 2 of the preseason, but he didn't do much to impress this time around. Stick went just 5-for-13 through the air for 62 yards and threw an interception. Stick is pretty clearly in third place for the backup job […]

Cardale Jones Shines While Throwing TD

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones took over from starter Tyrod Taylor in the team's second preseason game on Sunday, and he promptly led the offense on a 97-yard touchdown drive. The drive required a generous pass interference penalty to get out of the shadow of its own end zone, but Jones made a couple […]

Tyrod Taylor Throws First Interception

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor started Sunday's game against the Saints and struggled to move the ball with the first-team offense. He went 7-for-10 for 57 yards, but he also suffered his first interception of the season on a tipped ball that fluttered right to a Saints DB. Taylor was unable to drive the […]

Dwayne Haskins Keeping Pace In QB Battle

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has completed 15 of 28 passes for 231 yards, a touchdown, and two picks in two games of preseason action. He has been on the field more than veteran Case Keenum. While it figures that the Washington coaching staff would prefer to get the rookie as many reps as possible […]

Taking Over a Dynasty Orphan Team Successfully

So, you're taking over a dynasty orphan that someone didn't want. As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. How are you going to take this lump of coal and turn it into a diamond looking for championships? That's what we're here to do today. If you've never taken over a dynasty-orphan […]

Five Must-Have Targets in the Middle Rounds

If you've been playing fantasy football for long enough, you are well aware of the value of middle-round draft picks. Maybe some of your less-invested league mates mail it in after the big names are off the board, but you know the players taken in the middle rounds have the potential to alter the course […]

DeShone Kizer Leading Packers Without Rodgers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer is leading the Packers in first-team reps with Aaron Rodgers struggling with back tightness. While Kizer is unlikely to challenge Rodgers for the starting quarterback position, his performances in camp could affect the perceived value of the surround skill players if Rodgers were to miss time. Kizer was able […]

Aaron Rodgers 'Day-to-Day' With Back Tightness

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is being considered day-by-day by head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur commented that if it were the regular season that he would be out on the field and that he hoped the tightness won't follow him into the regular season. Rodgers is yet to be put into a game situation […]

Brandon Brooks Still Not Cleared for Team Drills

Philadelphia Eagles starting right guard Brandon Brooks is still recovering from his Achilles' injury and has not yet been cleared for team drills. Brooks will "see how his body responds" to one-on-one drills this week. He remains a possibility for Week 1, but he'll need his injury to respond well to increasing work. Brooks suffered […]

Kirk Cousins Solid Against Seahawks

Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins was efficient in limited action on Sunday night, going 6-for-8 for 68 yards passing and leading the Vikings to a Dan Bailey 24-yard field goal in the first quarter. Cousins showed nice poise in the pocket and delivered a few beautiful deep balls to Adam Thielen before being pulled […]

Lamar Jackson Dazzles In Second Preseason Outing

Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson went 6-for-10 for 58 yards in Baltimore's Week 2 preseason game against Green Bay. In his second drive, Jackson rushed for an 18-yard touchdown that had social media in a frenzy. The play was brought back because of a penalty, but media and fantasy owners were thrilled to see Jackson side […]

Taysom Hill Leads Comeback Victory Over Chargers

New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Taysom Hill stepped up after a rough performance from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in the first half of the second preseason game. Hill entered the second half against the Los Angeles Chargers and brought immediate life to the offense, completing 11 out of 15 pass attempts for 136 yards and two […]

Ben Roethlisberger Sits Out Second Preseason Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger didn't appear in Saturday night's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This is of no surprise as the 37-year-old has nothing to prove to the team, so they decide to take it easy with him until the third week of the preseason. Roethlisberger led the NFL in attempts, completions, […]

Dak Prescott Completes All Five Passes on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed all five of his passes in Saturday's preseason game, gaining 64 yards. As expected, Prescott didn't play much but he should get a larger share of at least the first half in the Cowboys dress rehearsal next week. With Ezekiel Elliott far from a sure thing for Week 1, […]

Chad Henne Solid in Outing Versus Steelers

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne had a fairly impressive outing versus the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. Henne went 7-for-14 with 96 passing yards and a touchdown with zero interceptions in the loss. Henne has been solid through two games this preseason, but has no fantasy value with Patrick Mahomes healthy. Henne should continue to […]

Mason Rudolph Draws Start In Second Preseason Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 10 of 15 passes for 77 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Chiefs. Rudolph drew the start under center and got the majority of the first half to himself. The Oklahoma State product is a former third-round pick who seems to be the favorite to backup Ben Roethlisberger. […]

Joe Webb Has Another Heavy Preseason Workload

Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb once again saw a heavy workload in a preseason game, entering for Houston's second offensive series and playing into the fourth quarter in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. Webb was 14-for-25 passing the ball for 186 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. While the veteran won't see regular […]

David Fales Has Solid Preseason Outing

Detroit Lions quarterback David Fales went 12/19 for 226 yards and a touchdown in the Lions second preseason game against the Texans. With Tom Savage out on concussion protocol, Fales is competing with Josh Johnson to be Stafford's backup come regular season in a few weeks. This performance will certainly help Fales' case. Fales remains […]

Joshua Dobbs Throws For 95 Yards On Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs finished 6-of-11 fo 95 yards with an interception, while also tucking and running once for five yards in Saturday's 17-7 preseason win over Kansas City. The 24-year-old started the second half after Mason Rudolph got the entire first half of the game, while Dobbs saw the majority of the first […]
