Jalen Hurts has been fire, having posted QB4 or better numbers in five of eight games. Hurts has tossed the No. 5 most Passing Touchdowns and attempted the No. 2 most Rushes (amongst qualified quarterbacks).

Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel have benefited from the change under center. With Heinicke at the helm, McLaurin and Samuel have led the team in Targets (8.3 and 5.3 respective averages) and Target Share (28.8-percent and 17.9-percent respectively).

This is Betting the Spread: Week 10 in the NFL. Just because we were approaching .500 didn’t mean we wanted to go .500. After a scorching 10-4 week in Week 8, Week 9 didn’t treat us as well. A 5-5-2 mark puts us at 59-64-4 on the season. We still have plenty of time to get back to .500, but we’re also past the mid-point of the NFL season. Hopefully, we get there this week. Let’s get Week 10 rolling!

This is the Pace of Play Report: Week 9! We’re back again folks. We return once more to delve into the world of the pace of play in 2022. Our weekly look at the speed by which teams snap off their offensive plays, casting a glance at the teams who look to get two or more plays a minute run. We do this while turning our noses up (for the most part) at the teams who wait until the last possible second to run a single play. Why do we care? Because the more plays that get run, the more opportunity players have to score fantasy points, of course.

Marcus Mariota’s middle name must be ‘miracle’ because not many predicted he’d be the Falcons starting quarterback this long. Despite 30 (No. 12) Deep Ball Attempts, he throws one of the worst deep balls in the league. He missed Kyle Pitts for a walk-in long ball by a mile on Sunday. He’s the poster child for an inefficient backup, yet he produces 0.64 (No. 5) Fantasy Points per Dropback. While the Falcons run near a league-low in pass attempts, it’s worth noting that Mariota has thrown for over 300 air yards in two straight close Game Scripts, including a game vs Carolina. It might be ugly, and there will be low points, but Mariota is a QB2 with a big-play upside and a rushing role. I expect a QB2 performance in what should be a slower grudge match on a slow week.

Posting his fourth consecutive top-8 fantasy QB finish against Miami Sunday, Fields completed 60-percent of his throws with three passing scores. But that wouldn’t be nearly the half of it. His insane 178 rushing yards on just 15 carries was the greatest regular-season rushing performance by a quarterback in NFL history and just three yards shy of Colin Kaepernick’s playoff outburst 10 years ago.

The worst part of our beloved game is the frequency of injuries. It’s an unfortunate byproduct of such a fast-paced, contact-heavy sport. It’s something that is important to remember as we approach the first full week of the preseason. Luckily for the NFL players, they have access to some of the best doctors in the world and can usually return to form at least by the next season. Unfortunately for us fantasy players, it’s not always easy to know when a player will get hurt. To another degree, sometimes your roster isn’t big enough to plan ahead for an injury. This series, the Infirmary Report, will give you advice on the injuries that have happened every week during the season. Without further ado, here is the Infirmary Report: Post Week 9 of regular season action.

This is the NFC South Post-Week 8 Update! Before the 2023 NFL Season kicked off, it seemed Tampa Bay was destined to crush everyone in the division and cruise to the playoffs. Atlanta appeared destined to sink to the bottom of the standings. Clearly, many of us (myself included!) were wrong about those predictions. Below, […]

Remember last week when I hyped up Mike Gesicki and talked about how good a matchup the Lions are for tight ends? If you don’t, here’s a refresher. The Lions have conceded a touchdown and/or allowed at least 49 receiving yards to a tight end in every game except against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. Sure enough, Mike Gesicki found the end zone last week. Enter Robert Tonyan. Tonyan’s usage has been spotty this season, but it also has been ramping up lately.

We are about halfway through the 2022 NFL season. Now it’s time to check in on how the teams in the AFC South are doing. This article will provide you with all you need to know about how the first four weeks went for the AFC South. Also, I will take a look at how my predictions for the season are stacking up so far as well as provide a few more predictions. Since Week 4 the division has shaped itself up much better, and it’s clear what kind of teams these AFC South teams are. The Jags surprise was fun while it lasted, Matty Ice has melted, Derrick Henry is Derrick Henry, and Davis Mills is unfortunately not taking that step forward. Without further ado, let’s take a look at these teams- this is the Post Week 8 AFC South Report!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the new speed kings of the NFL. It’s been a steady climb for them in reaching a 2.250 pace of play mark. Back in Week 1, they were at 1.834, which was good for No. 27 among all NFL teams. Moving forward, this should be good news for all of their pass-catching weapons. The Buccaneers lead the NFL with a 2.17 pass-to-run ratio. Even with Leonard Fournette struggling to run the ball, his receiving role ensures he will remain fantasy viable.
