Andy Dalton Looks Good In New Offense

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton looked solid during Saturday's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dalton went 7-for-9 with 80 yards on his first and only drive of the night which was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run by rookie running back Trayveon Williams. The 31-yard-old looked comfortable in his first unofficial game […]

C.J. Beathard Solid Against Cowboys

San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard went 13-for-17 in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. He had 141 yards and threw a touchdown and an interception. Beathard was the 49ers' backup quarterback for the early parts of last year, but he opened training camp third on the depth chart and there were questions about […]

Patrick Mahomes Sharp in First Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played very well during his first preseason game of the season on Saturday. Mahomes didn't see a bunch of time on the field, but made the most of the time he did play. Mahomes completed all four of his attempts for 66 yards and finished without a touchdown or […]

Cooper Rush Looks Solid on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush played most of Saturday's first preseason game and looked solid enough in the process. He completed 16-of-26 passes for 142 scoreless yards. Rush is set to be the direct backup to starter Dak Prescott but shouldn't have to do much more than hold a clipboard unless something goes wrong.

Dak Prescott Completes All Four of His Passes on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed all four of his pass attempts on Saturday night, gaining 23 yards. Prescott wasn't in there for long, but 4-for-4 is certainly an encouraging first start. Prescott was without running back Ezekiel Elliott and may end up being without him once the season begins, but the Cowboys should have […]

J.T. Barrett Signed By Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have signed quarterback J.T. Barrett to the team for now, but he's not expected to be with the squad for long. Barrett was signed because Geno Smith had a minor surgical procedure on his knee on Friday, and that left Russell Wilson and Paxton Lynch as the only quarterbacks left on the […]

George Fant Suffers Sprained Ankle

Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman/tight end George Fant went down with an ankle sprain in Thursday's game that head coach Pete Carroll described as "legit." While that's not a medical definition, it gives nothing but bad feelings about Fant's timetable. Fant is a hybrid player for Seattle, often working as a sixth offensive lineman/blocking tight end, […]

Andrew Luck Expected Ready for Week 1

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (calf) got a positive review Friday afternoon when the team's coaching staff stated they remain optimistic with how he has been progressing in his rehab. Fans have grown anxious with each passing practice that he misses. However, the team's focus is on having him ready and fully healthy for the […]

Paxton Lynch Shines In First Preseason Game

Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Paxton Lynch looked like a star when he was on the field against his former team on Thursday. Lynch took over from Geno Smith and commanded the second half of the game, throwing for 109 yards and a touchdown. Lynch's 11-for-15 performance garnered a lot of attention since it came against […]

Geno Smith Has Minor Surgery

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith underwent minor surgery on his knee on Friday to remove a cyst. Smith was given the start in Thursday's preseason game against the Broncos, but he was removed after the first half. Smith struggled in his half of work, going 3-for-9 for 58 yards and getting sacked twice. Smith is […]

Lions Sign Josh Johnson Following Tom Savage Injury

Free Agent quarterback Josh Johnson has signed with the Detroit Lions after Tom Savage was injured in the Lions first preseason game against the Patriots. Savages' injury doesn't appear to be too serious and the Lions still have Stafford and David Fales on the depth chart so Johnson has no fantasy value. Johnson played fairly […]

Kirk Cousins Perfect In Preseason Debut

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was only given one drive to show off on Friday night, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. Cousins was 4-for-4 for 65 yards and a touchdown, throwing a one-yard score to Alexander Mattison following catches by Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph. The offense was very efficient on the […]

Is the Next Tom Brady Out There?

In what has been described as a lackluster rookie quarterback class, there is really not a lot of value beyond the top couple of picks in dynasty leagues. But we know there are always hidden gems and players that take us by surprise. Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins and maybe Daniel Jones will get plenty of starting time […]

Nate Sudfeld Undergoes Wrist Surgery

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld underwent surgery on his broken left wrist on Friday morning and is expected to miss about six weeks. Sudfeld fell awkwardly on his arm in Thursday's first preseason game. He was set to be the direct backup for starter Carson Wentz. For now, that job will go to Cody Kessler, […]

Joshua Dobbs Shows Versatility In Preseason Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs went 5 of 8 for 85 yards, while also rushing for 44 yards on two carries in Friday's preseason win over Tampa Bay. Dobbs' big play in the evening was a 36 yard tuck-and-run in a second quarter drive then ended up with a field goal for Pittsburgh. Dobbs is […]

Mason Rudolph Tosses Two Touchdowns In Preseason Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 5 of 8 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's preseason opening 30-28 win over Tampa Bay. The second-year signal caller saw a majority his work in the second and third quarter. After being drafted in the third round in 2018, many expect Rudolph to be the […]

Taysom Hill Continues To Show Versatility

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill played the second half of Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Hill was 8-for-14 throwing the ball for 80 yards and a touchdown. He also added 45 rushing yards on six carries. Hill can help this Saints team in a variety of ways this year, but he won't […]

Teddy Bridgewater Plays Well Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater played a strong first half in Friday's preseason loss to the Vikings, going 14-for-19 passing for 134 yards. He threw a touchdown to tight end Dan Arnold. Bridgewater remains the top backup in New Orleans, though he'll see the field less this year than third-string quarterback Taysom Hill, who […]

Blaine Gabbert Doesn't Do Anything Wrong Against Steelers

Buccaneers quarterback Blaine Gabbert was decent against the Steelers on Friday. He went six-for-eight and accumulated 50 passing yards while starting most of the first half. Gabbert is set as Jameis Winston's backup going into the 2019 season but presents no fantasy value even if he has to take over for any reason. The only […]

Tom Savage Injured, Lions To Work Out A Pair

Detroit Lions backup quarterback Tom Savage (head) banged his head hard on the turf in the preseason game Thursday against the New England Patriots, and he was unable to return to the game. The team has just starter Matthew Stafford and former San Jose State standout David Fales as healthy quarterbacks on the roster, so […]

Easton Stick Impresses In Fight For Backup Job

Los Angeles Chargers rookie Easton Stick completed seven of his 11 pass attempts for 78 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in Thursday's preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, and he ran twice for a game-high 51 yards while adding a 31-yard rushing score. The rookie out of North Dakota State is looking to push […]

Easton Stick Makes NFL Debut

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Easton Stick got his first chance in the NFL on Thursday when he was brought in to finish out the first preseason game against the Cardinals. Stick went 7-for-11 for 78 yards, but he did toss one pick on the evening. The North Dakota State alum is not expected to […]

Cardale Jones Sacked Twice In Debut

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones got the call to replace Tyrod Taylor after two series, but he looked considerably worse than his competition. Jones took a pair of sacks in his one series, including an ugly one where he had plenty of time to get rid of the ball but instead danced back and […]

Tyrod Taylor Shines For Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked fantastic in the first preseason game of the year against the Cardinals on Thursday. Taylor went 6-for-6 for 72 yards through the air and racked up a pair of runs for 34 more yards. He wasn't sacked a single time, and while he didn't score any touchdowns, […]

Jameis Winston Done After One Drive

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston started Friday's preseason game against the Steelers and led them for just one series. Winston looked poised and made good decisions in his limited snaps. He went five-for-six and threw for 40 yards and one touchdown. Most impressively, Winston evaded two defenders and rolled out with his eyes downfield to convert […]

Case Keenum Throws Touchdown On Thursday

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed four passes on nine attempts for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Browns on Thursday night. Most of those yards were accounted for by a 46-yard touchdown when Keenum connected with Robert Davis in the first quarter. As is typically the case with early preseason action, we didn't […]

Dwayne Haskins Throws Two Picks In Preseason Opener

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins completed eight of 14 pass attempts for 117 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against Cleveland. He added 17 rushing yards on two attempts, but he was also sacked twice and threw two interceptions. Haskins saw the most work of any Redskins quarterback, which is not surprising given his lack of […]

Drew Lock Struggles To Stay Consistent Versus Seahawks

Denver Broncos Quarterback Drew Lock was given the reigns to the team on Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks, handling the Quarterback duties after the first two possessions. The Missouri product showed why he was taken in the second round with a few nice plays throughout the game, but it is also clear why he […]

Backup QB's, Others Impress as Titans Beat Eagles 27-10

Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Ryan Tannehill and Logan Woodside both threw two touchdowns and combined for 268 yards. Woodside was most impressive of all, completing 15 of 20 passes and getting some action on the ground. Kalif Raymond, WR, has been gaining traction in camp and backed it up last night (6/80). He could end up […]
