Tyler Shough News
Friday, October 23, 5:36 PM
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 16 of 30 passes for 144 yards and three touchdowns, adding five carries for 32 yards and another score in Week 6's 34-27 win over the Giants. His passing yardage was his second-lowest total of the season, potentially due in part to playing through two broken bones in his non-throwing hand. After averaging 45.0 pass attempts per game through his first four contests, Shough has averaged just 27.5 over the last two weeks. His five rushing attempts against the Giants were also his second-most of the season, and the Saints are now 2-0 when he records at least five carries. He faces a Steelers defense allowing just 204.3 passing yards and one passing touchdown per game. The difficult matchup puts Shough at QB15 in RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Jayden Daniels News
Friday, October 30, 9:18 PM
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is fresh off the team's Week 7 bye and faces an enticing Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Since returning from his elbow injury in Week 5, Daniels has been electric for fantasy purposes, averaging 26.6 fantasy points across two games and ranking as the QB3 since coming back. The third-year quarterback displayed the dual-threat dynamism in each game that makes him a weekly fantasy difference maker, first rushing for 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants in Week 5 before throwing for 300 yards and two scores through the air against the 49ers in Week 6. Daniels will now be without his No. 1 wide receiver, Terry McLaurin (knee), for the rest of the season, but he is still primed for another strong fantasy day against the Eagles in Week 8. Philadelphia has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season and owns the league's lowest sack rate. The Eagles held Daniels in check for much of the game back in Week 1, but he still managed a decent fantasy day with 17.7 points, and this Eagles' defense has been trending in the wrong direction since then. Daniels ranks as RotoBaller's QB6 for Week 8.
