The Minnesota Vikings added running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Sean Mannion to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brandon McManus Is A Low-End Kicking Option

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't miss a single kick in the preseason and led the NFL with 10 field goals of 50-plus yards in 2020. Regardless, McManus isn't widely considered a viable weekly starting kicker to open the 2021 campaign. Why is that? He has one of the strongest legs in the league and […]

Steady Volume Will Be An Issue For KJ Hamler

Can Melvin Gordon III Be Trusted In Week 1?

Ever since the Denver Broncos drafted running back Javonte Williams in the second round this year, Melvin Gordon III's fantasy stock has fallen. Most people expect Williams to eventually take over this backfield by season's end, and for good reason. With that said, Gordon isn't going anywhere anytime soon as long as he's healthy. The […]
