Evan Silva’s Matchups: Bengals vs. Falcons
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Sunday Morning Football 9:30 a.m. ET Cincinnati vs. Atlanta (in Madrid, Spain) Team Totals: Bengals 28, Falcons 25 Atlanta’s secondary has been masked the past two weeks by situations beyond their control, facing Brock Purdy with a bare-bones roster and Baker Mayfield in a downpour. In two games before that, Tyler Huntley finished as the QB10 and Caleb Williams tossed for 8.4 yards per attempt.
Waiver Wire Analysis: Week 9
Mike Washington Jr. was handed Las Vegas’ workhorse RB role in Week 8, holding a 25-2 edge in carries over Ashton Jeanty. Whether that’s sticky is up in the air, but the workload is noteworthy.

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Cowboys at Eagles
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Dallas @ Philadelphia Team Totals: Cowboys 24.5, Eagles 20 Eagles DC Vic Fangio lived in nickel against the Cowboys last year, refusing to blitz Dak Prescott and, in turn, forcing him underneath. That approach held Dallas’ veteran to 7.8 fantasy points (QB28) in the season opener and, after trailing 21-0 in the first half of their next matchup, a historic 24-0 run with 9.4 yards per attempt.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Steelers vs. Saints

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Commanders at 49ers
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Washington @ San Francisco Team Totals: Commanders 21.5, 49ers 29 Arguably the most valuable QB at cost in August, Brock Purdy’s 0.74 points per dropback are superior to Josh Allen’s 0.64. Given Washington’s résumé against Jalen Hurts (QB8), Dak Prescott (QB2), Sam Darnold (QB4), and Jameis Winston (QB5), Purdy is fully expected to put on a display that rivals Allen’s this week.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Texans vs. Jaguars
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Sunday Morning Football 9:30 a.m. ET Houston vs. Jacksonville (in London, England) Team Totals: Texans 20, Jaguars 22.5 Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts (without DeVonta Smith) tagged the Jaguars for a 65% completion rate (fifth) on throws 10 yards deep, proof that CJ.

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Bills at Rams
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Buffalo @ L.A. Rams Team Totals: Bills 25.5, Rams 28.5 The last time Josh Allen walked into SoFi Stadium against DC Chris Shula, the smoke cleared for the most single-game fantasy points by a QB in the 21st century (51.8). Brock Purdy (QB10) and Bo Nix (QB6) had no issues against the Rams before Jalen Hurts passed for 93 yards, short Philadelphia’s three best receivers around him.

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Ravens at Falcons
Baltimore @ Atlanta Team Totals: Ravens 20, Falcons 23.5 Tyler Huntley completed seven of eight passes from a clean pocket off the bench against the Titans, but that won’t be the case here: Atlanta’s pressured QBs on 43% of dropbacks (second) despite barely sending blitzes (30th). Huntley’s 16 carries across two appearances last year gift him a (desperate) floor.
Waiver Wire Analysis: Week 5
Injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby elevate Will Shipley to fantasy relevance. How much is too much for the third-year back on this week’s waiver wire? John Daigle takes a closer look at the landscape after an injury-riddled Week 4. The highest-quality fantasy football, basketball and prop betting content.

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Rams at Broncos
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. L.A. Rams @ Denver Team Totals: Rams 23.5, Broncos 21.5 Denver’s defense strangled Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence, both of whom finished as top-seven options in their surrounding matchups, for a combined 57% completion rate (third) and 6.6 yards per attempt (10th); Mahomes only got there because he tacked on 8.3 points with his legs, which Matthew Stafford is incapable of doing.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Ravens vs. Cowboys
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Baltimore vs. Dallas (in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Team Totals: Ravens 28.5, Cowboys 24.5 Members of the Brazilian club CR Flamengo complained the field at Maracanã Stadium is in a “deplorable” state, with “bumps everywhere” on the “rapidly deteriorating” turf.

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Giants at Rams
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. N.Y. Giants @ L.A. Rams Team Totals: Giants 20.5, Rams 28 Jaxson Dart hushed any concerns over whether he’d stop running, leading all QBs with 11 carries and the league’s most efficient EPA/play. Even if New York’s success was a one-week aberration for playing against Dallas, Myles Garrett’s absence (with a knee injury) on I.R. elevates Dart’s rushing floor as a QB1.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Colts at Chiefs
Indianapolis @ Kansas City Team Totals: Colts 20, Chiefs 26.5 Only Bo Nix, Matthew Stafford, and Cooper Rush finished lower in EPA/dropback than Daniel Jones in his first game back from an Achilles tear. Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo blitzed Dimes on 36% of his dropbacks in their lone matchup last year, and that’s concerning for his QB2 status: Jones completed five of 10 passes for 5.6 yards per attempt (17th) when blitzed in Week 1.

Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Monday Night Football 8:15 p.m. ET Denver @ Kansas City Team Totals: Broncos 20.5, Chiefs 23 Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo has struggled to contain Bo Nix for 19.5 (QB11) > 12.6 (QB20) > and 16.1 fantasy points (QB12) in three competitive games; Kansas City played its backups when Nix torched them in the 2024 finale.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Cowboys at Giants
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Sunday Night Football 8:20 p.m. E.T. Dallas @ New York Team Totals: Cowboys 25.5, Giants 23 Firmly in play to lead the league in passing yards, Dak Prescott’s only blemish here is losing LG Tyler Smith to thumb surgery against New York’s bolstered front seven, including Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Ohio State LB Arvell Reese.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: 49ers vs. Rams
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Thursday Night Football 8:35 p.m. E.T. San Francisco vs. Los Angeles Rams (in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) Team Totals: 49ers 22.5, Rams 26 The league enters uncharted territory ahead of Thursday night’s game: The 49ers arrived in Melbourne with a full week to spare, whereas Los Angeles flew on Tuesday night to get off the plane and play.

Daigle: Final 2026 NFL Mock Draft
Trades are for betas. 1. Raiders – Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza The draft starts with the second pick. Previously: — 2. Jets – Ohio State EDGE Arvell Reese New York finished with the league’s lowest pressure rate (15.1%) and 26 sacks (31st) in Year 1 of HC Aaron Glenn’s tenure. The organization’s emphasis on adding to that side of the ball continues through free agency and into Round 1. Previously: — 3.
Daigle: 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1.0
There is a time and place for individual player analysis in the offseason, but I genuinely believe it should take a back seat in any mock drafts since a majority of the league’s decision-makers typically forgo any studious methods to agree with their peers through hand-shaking, hearsay, and archaic jargon — ”We’re not selling jeans here,” Billy Beane once reminded a room full of (MLB) scouts. The following is my first attempt at connecting the dots in the first round.

Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Sunday Night Football Chicago @ San Francisco Team Totals: Bears 25, 49ers 27.5 Buckle up: Even 44-year-old Philip Rivers tossed two TDs for 17 fantasy points against this San Francisco defense bereft of talent without EDGEs Nick Bosa (torn ACL), Mykel Williams (knee), and All-World LB Fred Warner (ankle). The team with the first stop wins Sunday night, slotting Caleb Williams as a no-brainer QB1.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Ravens at Packers
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Saturday Night Football 8:00 p.m. ET Baltimore @ Green Bay Team Totals: Ravens 19, Packers 21.5 Tyler Huntley leads the Ravens into Lambeau Field with everything on the line: A loss or tie officially eliminates Baltimore from postseason contention.

Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Arizona @ Cincinnati Team Totals: Cardinals 23, Bengals 30.5 Atlanta hogged the ball for 77 plays against the Cardinals last week, ending Jacoby Brissett’s six-game streak of 40+ attempts; volume won’t be an issue here to inevitably try and match the Bengals point-for-point.

Green Bay @ Chicago Team Totals: Packers 23.5, Bears 22 Jordan Love marched up and down the field for 9.4 yards per attempt when these two teams squared off in Week 14, but that’s when Green Bay’s O-Line was intact — RT Zach Tom’s (back/knee) absence threatens that same success, sinking Love to a middle-of-the-road streamer.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: 49ers at Colts
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Monday Night Football Indianapolis @ San Francisco Team Totals: 49ers 26, Colts 20.5 44-year-old Philip Rivers’ football IQ was on full display in keeping the Colts within a field goal of Seattle before ultimately losing to a last-second kick. His withered arm could not follow suit, sailing ducks to open receivers for 4.4 yards per attempt (32nd).
Waiver Wire Analysis: Week 16

Evan Silva’s Matchups: Dolphins at Steelers
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Miami @ Pittsburgh Team Totals: Dolphins 19.5, Steelers 22.5 Dog-walked by opposing QBs for 18.6 points per game, Pittsburgh had enough and shuffled Jalen Ramsey to safety in Week 9. They’ve since permitted 6.2 yards per attempt (eighth) and the league’s fourth-lowest rate of explosive passes, only getting beaten by Josh Allen (9.8 rushing points) and Lamar Jackson (10.3) from the ground.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Ravens at Bengals
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Baltimore @ Cincinnati Team Totals: Ravens 26.5, Bengals 25 Ignore the last time these two teams played on Thanksgiving: Baltimore committed five turnovers, including four inside the 20s, either robbing themselves of easy points or gifting the Bengals a short field.
Evan Silva’s Matchups: Lions at Rams
Editor’s Note: This Matchup was written by John Daigle, with input from Evan Silva. Detroit @ L.A. Rams Team Totals: Lions 24.5, Rams 30.5 The last time Detroit squared off with DC Chris Shula (in their 2024 season opener), he simply sat L.A.’s defense in Cover 3 (with five blitzes all afternoon) and told Jared Goff to beat them; the veteran ultimately fell short for 6.0 yards per attempt and one pick when kept clean.
