Giovani Bernard Likely To Have Noteworthy Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard could serve as the team's third-down option this season.

[…]

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has many fantasy managers concerned, primarily after his lackluster play during the preseason.

Lamar Jackson Unconcerned With Being “Figured Out”

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn't concerned about being "figured out" this season. The former MVP was dismissive over recent comments made by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who believes opposing teams will routinely decrease the statistical output of the former Louisville Cardinal, something fantasy managers haven't had to worry about over the years. The 24-year-old will […]

Ezekiel Elliott Touted For Offseason Commitment

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is looking to reclaim his role as one of the league's elite options out of the backfield.

Ja’Marr Chase Expected To Improve

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is expected to develop after struggling during his short tenure in the league.

Kyle Rudolph Running Routes On Sunday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) was observed running routes and taking passes from Daniel Jones before Sunday's preseason clash against the Cleveland Browns. After undergoing foot surgery, the veteran remains on the PUP list, so his presence on the field was certainly a welcome sight. However, he still has a way to […]
