Danny Amendola Could Be Key To Offense

In the opinion of the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will often look to wide receiver Danny Amendola in 2018, assuming they both stay healthy.

Jerick McKinnon Looks Comfortable Catching Passes

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon caught several passes out of the backfield on Tuesday in organized team activities and looked very comfortable. McKinnon will have an incredibly high fantasy and real-life ceiling as San Fran's primary back in 2018, especially if he's also catching most of the passes out of the backfield. The […]

Raiders Acquire Christian Hackenberg

The Oakland Raiders acquired quarterback Christian Hackenberg from the New York Jets on Tuesday in exchange for a 2019 conditional seventh-round pick, according to Jets head coach Todd Bowles.
