The NFL season has crossed the halfway point, and by no surprise, the waiver wire in deep leagues is ultra-thin. At this point in the season, the options are scarce, especially at wide receiver and tight end. However, there are still handcuff running backs and emerging quarterbacks who would be worth picking up. Although pass-catchers are tough to come by, we'll cover those potential pickups, too.The top waiver wire adds are often obvious for traditional 10 and 12-team leagues, but a larger pool...

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs is expected to start against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said they'll practice this week as though Dobbs is the starter. This comes after Dobbs came off the bench and led the Vikings to a comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, despite being traded to Minnesota just five days earlier.

I guess this is just the ...

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs completed 20 of 30 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns while adding 66 yards and a score on the ground in the team's Week 9 victory over the Falcons.

The Cleveland Browns defense will take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 9. Arizona is expected to start rookie Clayton Tune against the Browns in Week 9 after they traded Joshua Dobbs to the Minnesota Vikings earlier in the week.

The Browns are 11.5-point home favorites in a game with a low 38.5 over/under, putting them on the ...

Minnesota Vikings newly acquired quarterback Joshua Dobbs will be active as the backup to rookie Jaren Hall in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Kirk Cousins will miss the rest of the 2023 season after tearing his Achilles in the Week 8 win over the Green Bay Packers, so Dobbs is expected to take over the starting duties once he's up to speed with the new offense he must learn. The 28-year-old exceeded expectations as the Arizona Cardinals'...
