Joe Milton III News
Wednesday, November 4, 9:22 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles are making a quarterback change for their Week 9 divisional contest this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants, going with Joe Milton III over Tanner McKee. Milton will now make his first start in Philly less than a month after signing with the Eagles. McKee predictably struggled in his three starts in place of Jalen Hurts (blood clots), who is out for the rest of the season, completing 63.2% of his 114 pass attempts for 638 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The 26-year-old Milton, a former sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2024 out of Tennessee, is definitely a better upside option for desperate fantasy managers in deep two-QB superflex leagues because of his dual-threat abilities at the position. His experience is limited, though, as he has appeared in just five NFL games (zero starts) in his two seasons in the league with the Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys, going 37-for-53 passing for 424 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Milton will be a waiver-wire candidate at QB in superflex leagues, but he will have his work cut out for him in his first NFL start against the Giants this weekend.

Ryan Flournoy News
Tuesday, November 3, 4:59 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy is a solid option to consider from the waiver wire this week, especially with uncertainty swirling around his teammate George Pickens. Pickens has reportedly been dealing with hamstring tightness during games and has also been listed on the injury report with a shoulder issue. While he hasn't missed any games, his effectiveness has been limited. He's also become a buzzy name in the trade market leading up to the NFL Trade Deadline on Nov. 10. If Pickens misses time or is traded, Flournoy would be a great pickup. He's already involved in the Cowboys' passing game, catching at least three passes in five straight games and finding the end zone in two of his last three contests. He's a borderline add already in deep leagues in his current role, but if he gets more targets and opportunities, he could end up being a great speculative stash from the waiver wire coming into Week 9.
