Tyler Shough Set Up for Another Strong Showing Against the Falcons

Saturday, October 3, 5:15 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 29-of-42 passes for 255 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in Week 3's 35-27 loss to the Raiders. Shough was in control of the offense for much of the game, leading the Saints to an 11-point lead midway through the third quarter. He and the offense eventually stalled, committing turnovers on all four possessions in the fourth quarter and ultimately falling short. He looks to bounce back against a Falcons defense on Monday night that is surrendering 263 passing yards per game, 29th in the league. Through the first three weeks, Shough ranks as QB3 and has another plus matchup against the Falcons. Second in the league in passing yards and with rushing upside, Shough has established himself as a weekly QB1 in fantasy.

Bo Nix Says Ankle Injury Isn't Impacting His Performance

Sunday, October 4, 4:54 PM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was asked if his ankle injury is inhibiting him at all following their Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Nix gave a quick and blunt answer, "No", per Zac Stevens. Nix hasn't been himself this season, with 605 passing yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions through four games this season. He underwent surgery last January to repair a fractured right ankle that he suffered during a playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills. It's a fair question to ask if the ankle is bothering him, but Nix is always going to say he's fine. Fantasy managers can hope for better days ahead versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.
